Decoding Synergistic Pathways in Bimetallic MOFs for Advanced Oxidation Processes

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review presents a unified framework linking metal pairing and framework design with electronic structure, redox cycling, oxidant activation, reactive‐species generation, and catalytic performance across photocatalytic and oxidant‐based BMOF‐AOPs. The resulting design principles guide the development of hydrolytically stable and efficient BMOFs for

Structural and Dynamic Properties of Lipid‐Coated Gold Nanoparticles

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Atomistic molecular dynamics simulations reveal how lipid chemistry governs the behavior of coatings on the surface of a gold nanoparticle. Variations in headgroup charge and acyl‐chain saturation produce distinct monolayer‐like lipid organization, ranging from compact, ordered coatings to extended, dynamic shells. These findings establish a foundation

Adsorbent Materials for Hydrocarbons Removal by Geopolymerization of Halloysite Clay Nanotubes Filled Within Chitosan Matrix

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Alkaline activation of halloysite clay nanotubes embedded in a chitosan matrix converts bionanocomposite films into porous geopolymeric materials with enhanced adsorption capacity toward hydrocarbons in both vapor and aqueous phases. The improved adsorption performance was demonstrated by the efficient capture of dodecane vapors and phenol from water ...
