Features of the formation of isosbestic point (IP) on the curves of transverse magnetoresistance (TMR) were studied for several objects with different transport and magnetic properties, including narrow band semiconductor YbB5.96, heavy fermion compound Ce3Pd20Si6, antiferromagnet NdB6, magnetic Weyl semimetal with field-induced A-phase GdCoC2 and metallic system with isolated Ce impurity Ce0.01La0.99B6. Experimental study has been performed on high quality single crystals and polycrystalline samples at temperatures 1.8–300 K in magnetic fields up to 82 kOe. Along with usual IP (Tiso) we discovered a new effect, when Tiso turns out to be very close to the position of the inversion point (Tinv), which separates positive and negative regimes of TMR. The phenomenon, when two characteristic temperatures of different nature practically coincide, is very unusual and may be classified as a single temperature scale (inverse isosbestic point). A general approach, which relates inverse isosbestic point to several competing scattering mechanisms, is suggested and discussed.

This study integrates molecular dynamics simulations with shock compression experiments to elucidate the hierarchical phase transition mechanisms of black phosphorus under extreme pressure conditions. By establishing a phase transformation pathway model (orthorhombic → rhombohedral → simple cubic phase), we quantitatively determined the phase transition thresholds at 38.7 GPa under both ambient and elevated temperatures, and achieved controllable preparation of simple cubic phase black phosphorus through shock loading. The material porosity mediated pressure attenuation effect was found to critically influence the phase transition initiation pressure, while microsecond-scale pressure release characteristics enabled metastable phase retention by suppressing reverse transition kinetics. Atomic-scale analysis demonstrates that three-dimensional hydrostatic pressure drives anisotropic bonding reconstruction, characterized by 78.6 % preferential compression along the b-axis and continuous bond-angle distortion from 103° to 90°, which collectively induce electron cloud rearrangement and symmetry breaking transition from layered to cubic configurations. The developed simulation-experiment dual-validation methodology provides new perspectives for high-pressure phase transition research, with the revealed phase nucleation reverse transition competition mechanism offering critical guidance for metastable material design.

Hg2+ is one of hazardous heavy metal ions that continuously threatens the human health. In this work, functional electrode materials were obtained by decorating conductive carbon black (VXC-72R) with formaldehyde crosslinked chitosan (HCHO-CS), and coated on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) to construct a novel electrochemical sensor (HCHO-CS/VXC-72R/GCE) for Hg2+. By taking advantage of the coordination interaction between Hg2+ and imine groups of HCHO-CS, a sensitive and selective electrochemical sensor for Hg2+ was developed based on the differential pulsed anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV). The present sensor exhibited a wide linear region of 0.01–16.0 μM and a remarkably low detection limit of 0.607 nM. The practical feasibility of HCHO-CS/VXC-72R/GCE sensor was well demonstrated by successful Hg2+ determination application in the lake water and shrimp meat samples, with recovery rates of 89.00–101.20 %.

Reliable, high-quality glucose monitoring remains a significant challenge in the food industry, underscoring the need to develop cost-effective, high-performance glucose sensors. Herein, the CuCo(CN)6 nanocomposite was successfully synthesized at room temperature via a facile co-precipitation method and utilized as a non-enzymatic electrode for electrochemical glucose detection. Benefiting from its well-defined cyanide-bridged framework, CuCo(CN)6 exhibited exceptional electrocatalytic performance for glucose oxidation, achieving a high sensitivity of 1513.60 μA mM−1 cm−2, a broad linear range of 0.1–11 mM, and an ultralow detection limit of 0.45 μM. Moreover, it demonstrated a rapid response, excellent anti-interference capability, and stable operation over 16 days. Practical applicability was validated by determining glucose in commercial beverages (Black Tea, Pepsi, and Sprite; recoveries 94.44–103.70 %, RSD below 1.36 %) and human serum (recoveries 98.95–99.33 %, RSD not exceeding 1.04 %), demonstrating that CuCo(CN)6 is a robust, high-performance platform for real-time glucose monitoring in both food and biological samples.

Colloidal perovskite solutions of CsPbBr3 in oleic acid and oleylamine mixed in chlorobenzene solution of poly(methyl methacrylate) were used to produce blends with poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and with Poly[2,5-bis(3’.7’-dimethyl-octyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene] (BDMO-PPV) organic materials with the aim of studying the energy transfer effect between them. The energy transfer from perovskite donors to the conjugated polymer acceptor states in blended solutions was measured by steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence. The increase of quantum efficiencies observed by the integration sphere method on the organic/inorganic blends studied, validate the objectives of the work, demonstrating that the photon recycling system from perovskites nanoparticles can be converted in a relatively good hybrid gain médium.

The hysteresis loops have confirmed the soft magnetic nature of the nanocomposite, which were measured in the applied magnetic field from of −30 to 30 KOe. The decline in magnetic behaviour down to decreased with increasing the nonmagnetic MWCNTs nanostructures. The obtained soft magnetic nature as well as the improved dielectric properties at high frequency suggested that the prepared nanocomposites can be useful for soft magnetic and high frequency device applications.

The advancement of high-performance supercapacitor electrodes that deliver elevated energy density alongside exceptional cycling stability remains a pivotal goal in energy storage research. Hybrid nanocomposites, formed by integrating redox-active transition metal compounds with conductive, high-surface-area supports, represent a promising strategy to address these challenges by synergistically combining their advantageous properties. In this work, a Prussian Blue Analogue (PBA) derived cobalt telluride (CoTe)/graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) hybrid composite was successfully synthesized via a controlled hydrothermal process followed by thermal annealing. The material was characterized extensively using FESEM, XRD, XPS, and EDS techniques, which confirmed the formation of an interconnected 3D cubic CoTe structure uniformly embedded within a conductive g-C3N4 nanoflake network. Electrochemical performance was evaluated using cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge–discharge measurements in an alkaline electrolyte under a two-electrode system. The resulting PBA CoTe/g-C3N4 supercapacitor exhibited a remarkable specific capacitance of 354.79 F g−1 at 1 A g−1, impressive energy density, and outstanding cycling stability with over 89.47 % capacitance retention after 5000 cycles. The hierarchical porous architecture and uniform elemental distribution facilitated efficient ion diffusion, fast electron transport, and mitigated mechanical degradation during long-term operation. These combined features underscore the PBA CoTe/g-C3N4 hybrid composite as a potent and durable electrode candidate for next-generation supercapacitor devices.

For ultimate photocatalytic CO2 reduction efficiency, In2O3 synthesized via co-precipitation/calcination was architecturally integrated with Bi2MoO6 through solvothermal assembly, constructing composite catalysts. In2O3 incorporation triggered absorption edge red-shifting, quenched photoluminescence, and amplified photocurrent density. The 2 %-In2O3 composite delivered 12.5 μmol/g/h CO yield under 300W xenon lamp – achieving a 2.5-fold enhancement versus pure In2O3 and a 1.8-fold gain relative to pure Bi2MoO6. This superiority arose from heterostructuring induced by In2O3 loading, which expedited photogenerated carrier mobility and elevated CO2 conversion activity.

The Ar-irradiation effects on graphite thin film have been investigated using first-principles MD simulations. We introduced a novel damping medium to avoid artifacts due to periodic boundary conditions. This methodology allows to elucidate the detailed processes of the defect formation. We find that the irradiation of our graphite sample with 380 keV Ar tends to create di-vacancies in graphene sheets. This process is due to intralayer displacements of the C atom targeted by the incoming Ar. The inclusion of di-vacancies in the irradiated samples is proved by comparing our simulated Raman spectra with the experimental ones.

This work reports the cost-effective synthesis of dual-phase cobalt molybdate (α/β-CoMoO4) nanorods and highlights the unique electrochemical advantages arising from the coexistence of the two polymorphs. Using a facile coprecipitation method followed by calcination and mechanical grinding, nanorods with controlled α/β phase ratios were obtained. Structural (XRD, FTIR) and morphological (SEM/TEM) analyses confirmed the successful engineering of a dual-phase architecture, while magnetic measurements evidenced antiferromagnetic ordering below 11.4 K. When evaluated as anodes for lithium-ion batteries, α/β-CoMoO4 nanorods displayed stable lithiation/delithiation processes, high specific capacity (up to 1246 mAh g−1), and remarkable rate performance, retaining substantial capacity even at 10 Ag−1. The improved reversibility and cycling performance (up to 289 cycles) are attributed to the complementary lithium storage mechanisms of the α (intercalation + conversion) and β (conversion) phases, which synergistically enhance kinetics and structural resilience. These findings underline the crucial role of phase engineering in tailoring the electrochemical behavior of CoMoO4, opening new opportunities for low-cost, high-performance anode materials in next-generation energy storage systems.
本工作报道了双相钼酸钴（α/β-CoMoO4）纳米棒的经济高效合成，并强调了两种多晶相共存所产生的独特电化学优势。采用易共沉淀法-煅烧-机械研磨法制备了α/β相比可控的纳米棒。结构（XRD， FTIR）和形态（SEM/TEM）分析证实了双相结构的成功工程，而磁性测量证明了11.4 K以下的反铁磁有序。作为锂离子电池的阳极，α/β-CoMoO4纳米棒表现出稳定的锂化/去锂化过程、高比容量（高达1246 mAh g−1）和显著的倍率性能，即使在10 Ag−1下也能保持可观的容量。提高的可逆性和循环性能（高达289次循环）归因于α（插层+转化）和β（转化）相的互补锂储存机制，它们协同增强了动力学和结构弹性。这些发现强调了相位工程在调整CoMoO4电化学行为方面的关键作用，为下一代储能系统中低成本、高性能的阳极材料开辟了新的机会。
