Tailoring Se‐Mediated Co‐Co Dual‐Atom Sites for Oxygen and Iodide Electrocatalysis Toward High‐Efficiency and Ultradurable Zinc‐Air/Iodide Hybrid Batteries

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
A Se‐mediated Co dual‐atom catalyst replaces sluggish oxygen evolution with efficient iodide oxidation in zinc‐air/iodide hybrid batteries. Se‐induced d‐p orbital hybridization optimizes adsorption, enabling a low 0.365 V voltage gap and superior durability, fundamentally overcoming conventional kinetic bottlenecks.

Coordinative‐Guest‐Triggered Dimensional Crossover in a Metal–Organic Framework With Rigid Metal–Oxo Rods

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
We report a reversible structural phase transition in a metal–organic framework (MOF) triggered by the exchange of coordinative guest molecules. This MOF consists of rigid 1D Pb–O rods as building units, forming a 3D framework with 1D pores. Guest exchange induces pronounced changes in both the Pb–O rod structure and the dimensionality of the framework.
