In a paper published in SCIENCE CHINA Chemistry, Wenjun Luo, Zhigang Zou et al., found and proved the enhancement of a Si/In₂S₃ heterojunction photocurrent by Cl^- ions in the electrolyte comes from faster charge transfer rate at the In₂S₃/electrolyte interface.

In a paper published in Science Bulletin, researchers achieved efficient separation of hexafluoropropylene (C₃F₆) from octafluoropropane (C₃F₈) using a metal-organic framework (MOF) modified with positive potential traps. By leveraging the aperture size and electrostatic potential of Al-PMA, the MOF selectively binds C₃F₆ through multiple hydrogen bonds while excluding larger C₃F₈ molecules. This approach overcomes the typical trade-off between low-pressure adsorption capacity and selectivity in conventional adsorbents, ensuring high-purity C₃F₈ recovery. The material’s stability, scalability, and selective adsorption capacity underline its industrial potential​.

The study applies an Adaptive Sustainable Livelihood Framework, introduced by Natarajan et al. in 2022, which offers an open, flexible, and interdisciplinary approach to analyze the dynamic processes shaping livelihood shifts.
