In this study, by using operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy imaging, the researchers revealed a full landscape of the biphasic structural transformation occurring at the nodes inside Ni and Co bimetallic MOF during OER.

The optoelectronic properties of various carbon allotropes and nanomaterials have been well established, while the purely sp-hybridized carbyne remains synthetically inaccessible. Its properties have therefore frequently been extrapolated from those of defined oligomers.
Researchers have found that removing random doping in quantum electronic devices dramatically improves their reproducibility - a key requirement for future applications such as quantum-information processing and spintronics.
The proposed device, with a theoretical operating energy budget less than 10 attojoules, uses a differential architecture to compensate for environmental variations and the device can retain sensed information for durations ranging from hours to days.
A new way to arrange very small materials with perfect control could lead to more secure banknotes and passports, and quicker detection of harmful gas through a clever use of light.
Researchers have used experiments and simulations to find out by what means MOFs can be rendered flexible and why: they tricked the system by using clever chemical manipulations to enable a variety of energetically similar arrangements in the crystalline order.
