Simultaneous Improvement of Mechanical and Fire-Safety Properties of Polymer Composites with Phosphonate-Loaded MOF Additives.

open access: yesACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, 2019
Flame-retardant (FR) additives are commonly used to improve the fire safety of synthetic polymers, which are widely employed in manufactured consumer goods. Incorporation of an FR in a polymer typically leads to deterioration of its mechanical properties.

Probing the Challenge of P‐Type Semiconductors in Long‐Chain VOC Detection: 3D Micro‐Flower Zinc Cobaltate Heterojunction Sensors

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Fe@WO3/ZnCo2O4 n‐p heterojunction sensor exhibits excellent room‐temperature sensing toward tetradecane, with a low detection limit of 78.4 ppb and short recovery time. The good performance is attributed to synergistic effects from heterojunctions, heteroatom doping, oxygen vacancies, high‐energy facets, and theoretical validations.
