Hidden in Plain Sight: Aromaticity of Hexagonal Boron Nitride

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
How apt is the nickname “white graphene” for hexagonal boron nitride (hBN)? Although graphene's aromaticity is well established, it is not known if hBN is aromatic. In this work, hBN's aromaticity is probed using magnetic and energetic criteria. Group‐theoretic considerations and magnetically induced current density maps are used to further reveal the ...

Bio‐based tannin‐loaded layered double hydroxides in epoxy coatings for smart corrosion protection of steel in underground infrastructure

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study presents a sustainable smart‐coating strategy for protecting underground steel infrastructures from chloride‐induced corrosion. Zinc‐aluminum layered double hydroxides (LDHs) and tannin‐loaded LDHs (LDH–TA) were incorporated into an epoxy matrix to provide both enhanced barrier properties and active, pH‐responsive inhibition.

Electronic Activation via Targeted Interface Engineering: Unlocking High‐Performance CO2 Electrolysis in Commercial Electrodes

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.
Interfacial charge transfer from LSC to PrO2 induces a local electric field and promotes oxygen vacancy formation, which together enhance CO2 adsorption, facilitate CO32− intermediate formation, and significantly boost the high‐temperature CO2 electrolysis performance of PrO2–LSC heterostructured electrodes.
