Mechanochemical Fullerene Nanoencapsulation in Amino‐Functionalized ZIF‐12 for Visible‐Light Disinfection of Waterborne Viruses and Bacteria

Small, EarlyView.
A solvent‐minimized mechanochemical strategy enables the synthesis of C₆₀‐encapsulated amino‐functionalized ZIF‐12 as a visible‐light‐driven bifunctional photocatalyst. Synergistic charge separation enhances hydroxyl radical generation, achieving efficient viral in saline water and bacterial inactivation in river water under environmentally relevant ...

Hole Polaronic Confinement in (111) Yttria‐Stabilised Zirconia

Small, EarlyView.
Ultrathin epitaxial YSZ(111) films unexpectedly develop p‐type mixed conduction and amplified electromechanical coupling under oxidizing conditions. Combined transport measurements and first‐principles modeling reveal that nanoscale confinement and ordered dopant–vacancy complexes stabilize localized O 2p hole polarons at the surface. A canonical ionic

Plea for Defect Chemistry: The Fundamental Role of the Chemically Excited States in Solid‐State Chemistry and Beyond

Zeitschrift für anorganische und allgemeine Chemie, EarlyView.
In solids, the point defects take the role that in water is held by H3O+, OH−, and solutes. While the chemical ground structure (crystallographic structure) plays the role of the matrix, it is the chemically excited states (dissociation, disorder) that breathe life into the matter.

AstroECP: towards more practical electron channeling contrast imaging

Journal of Applied Crystallography, EarlyView.
We explore and address many of the major challenges associated with using electron channeling contrast imaging in a scanning electron microscope, with the goal of more easily revealing and characterizing crystalline defects such as dislocations.Electron channeling contrast imaging (ECCI) is a scanning electron microscope based technique which enables ...

Recent Advances in Piezocatalysis and Piezo‐Photocatalysis in Energy and Environment: Materials, Design, and Applications

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Piezocatalytic technology utilizes mechanical strain or stress‐induced piezoelectric phenomena to produce robust internal electric fields, markedly improving the separation efficiency of e−‐h+ pairs. This method has emerged as a focal point in catalysis by removing reliance on conventional light or electrical energy via its mechanical‐to ...

Insights Into Overall Photocatalytic Water Splitting Through Simultaneous In Situ H2 and O2 Measurements

ChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 5, 13 March 2026.
A photoreactor setup allowing for simultaneous in situ detection of H2 and O2 in the liquid as well as gas phase is described. Using this system, overall water splitting with Rh2−yCryO3/Al:SrTiO3 is investigated, determining irradiance dependence, thermal activation barrier, optimal cocatalyst loading, and H/D kinetic isotope effect.
