We present an in-depth study of Cu NC catalysts, encompassing design strategies, atomic-level tuning, and diverse catalytic applications.
Integrative studies of ionic liquid interface layers: bridging experiments, theoretical models and simulations
Integrative “experiment–simulation–thermodynamic modeling” is highly demanded for qualitatively and quantitatively correlating the ionic liquids interface layer structuring to the overall properties, performance, and function.
Recent progress in construction methods and applications of perovskite photodetector arrays
The construction methods and image sensing applications of perovskite photodetector arrays in the development trends of the flexible, large-scale, narrow-band, and bionic photodetection are summarized and presented.

New horizons on advanced nanoscale materials for Cultural Heritage conservation
Hydrogels based on sustainable polymers and tailored for specific applications in Cultural Heritage conservation are presented. The system cleaning ability increases with the network tortuosity (water-soluble components) and the gel surface roughness (soil/particulate matter).

Role of carboxylates in the phase determination of metal sulfide nanoparticles
At low carboxylate concentrations the sulfur source is highly reactive thiourea, which gives rise to sulfur rich nanoparticles. At high carboxylate concentrations, the sulfur source is the less reactive thiocyanate, resulting in sulfur poor phases.
Interplay of the charge density wave transition with topological and superconducting properties
Electron-doped 1H-MSe2 (M = Nb, Ta) as a rich platform to study charge density waves, superconductivity, and topology.
Coexistence of ferromagnetism and charge density waves in monolayer LaBr2
Charge density waves (CDWs) and ferromagnetism are usually mutually exclusive. We report the coexistence of them in a monolayer electride.
