Consequently, understanding the dynamic evolution of catalyst surface reconstruction during OER is essential. This paper reviews the recent research progress on the surface reconstruction of both precious-metal and non-precious-metal catalysts across wide pH, i.e., under acidic and alkaline conditions, and highlights the differences between them.

This work showcases how rigid, minimally-processed, macroporous wood microparticles work synergistically with the foam-forming method to offer a robust manufacturing strategy that is insensitive to feedstock and water quality. Lightweight oven-dried foams suitable for rigid thermal insulation are produced using four types of wood residue and can be made using ocean water instead of ultrapure water. The bio-based content in the foam can be increased by partially/fully replacing the polymer binder with mechanical pulp or using a biosurfactant. For the 15 foams produced with slightly modulated compositions, the densities are low (90–130 kg m<sup>−3</sup>), the thermal conductivities are low (38–45 mW m<sup>−1</sup> K<sup>−1</sup>), and many meet ASTM insulation standards for compressive strength. Pilot plant scaling produced large-scale (100×50×4 cm) foam boards. The structure-property relationships elucidated offer new guidelines to optimize foam performance by matching microparticle size to bubble size, having a distribution of microparticle lengths, and preserving wood's natural macroporous character.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have huge potential to be explored as heterogeneous organocatalysts because they contain several important features in one system, viz. high specific surface area, metal-free, desired organic functionalization, and outstanding stability. Herein, a ─SO<sub>3</sub>H group anchored COF is synthesized, TFR-PDS-COF by employing a Schiff base extended condensation reaction. The material is highly crystalline in nature, exhibiting moderate BET surface area (115 m<sup>2</sup> g<sup>−1</sup>) and very high NH<sub>3</sub> uptake capacity (1045 µmol g<sup>−1</sup>). The high chemisorption property toward NH<sub>3</sub> suggests the highly acidic nature of the material, which motivate to explore it in the acid-catalyzed reaction. Initially, the amination of epoxide, which is a classic example of an acid-catalyzed epoxide activation reaction is chosen. TFR-PDS-COF exhibit good catalytic activity toward the amination of epoxides to β-amino alcohol synthesis for both simple and complex systems at room temperature under solvent-free conditions. The catalyst exhibits high recyclability for several cycles with the retention of its framework. The catalyst has been employed for other acid catalytic reactions such as cycloaddition and acetalization reactions, and displays excellent conversion with high selectivity.

A comparative analysis with common coolants highlights mPAO's superior heat transfer and environmental attributes, positioning it as a competitive environmentally friendly coolant. Using molecular dynamics simulations, mPAO's convective heat transfer behavior of mPAOs in nanochannels is examined to discover enhanced convective heat transfer with increased wall-liquid atomic interactions and reduced liquid inter-molecular interactions.
