AbstractUnderstanding precise structures of two-/three- dimensional (2D/3D) covalent organic polymers (COPs) through single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) analysis is important. However, how to grow high-quality single crystals for 2D/3D COPs is of challenge due to poor reversibility and difficult self-correction of covalent bonds. In addition, the success of introducing tellurium into the backbone to construct 2D/3D COPs and obtaining their single crystals is rare.

AbstractNanofluidic membranes have demonstrated great potential in harvesting osmotic energy. However, the output power densities are usually hampered by insufficient membrane permselectivity. Herein, we design a polyoxometalates (POMs)-based nanofluidic plasmonic electron sponge membrane (PESM) for highly efficient osmotic energy conversion.

ConspectusTo cope with the increasingly global greenhouse effect and energy shortage, it is urgent to develop a feasible means to convert anthropogenic excess carbon dioxide (CO2) into energy resources. The photocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) coupled with the water oxidation reaction (WOR), known as artificial photosynthesis, is a green, clean, and promoting strategy to deal with the above issues.
