Review of Hydrogen Storage in Solid-State Materials As a kind of clean energy, hydrogen energy has great potential to reduce environmental pollution and provide efficient energy conversion, and the key to its efficient utilization is to develop safe, economical and portable hydrogen storage technology. At present, hydrogen storage technology lags behind hydrogen production and use, which is the bottleneck restricting the development of hydrogen energy. In this paper, several current solid-state hydrogen storage methods are reviewed, including hydrate hydrogen storage, alloy hydrogen storage and MOF hydrogen storage. At the hydrogen storage density level, the hydrogen storage capacity of 1K-MOF-5 can reach 4.23 wt% at 77 K and 10 MPa, and remains basically unchanged in 20 isothermal adsorption and desorption experiments. At the level of temperature and pressure of hydrogen storage, the alloy can realize hydrogen storage under ambient conditions. At the economic level, the cost of hydrogen storage in hydrates is only USD 5–8 per kilogram, with almost zero carbon emissions. Through the analysis, it can be seen that the above solid-state hydrogen storage technologies have their own advantages. Although hydrate hydrogen storage is lower than alloy materials and MOF materials in hydrogen storage density, it still has huge potential for utilization space because of its low cost and simple preparation methods. This paper further provides a comprehensive review of the existing challenges in hydrate research and outlines prospective directions for the advancement of hydrogen storage technologies.

Machine learning assisted plasmonic metascreen for enhanced broadband absorption in ultra-thin silicon films We propose and demonstrate a data-driven plasmonic metascreen that efficiently absorbs incident light over a wide spectral range in an ultra-thin silicon film. By embedding a double-nanoring silver array within a 20 nm ultrathin amorphous silicon (a-Si) layer, we achieve a significant enhancement of light absorption. This enhancement arises from the interaction between the resonant cavity modes and localized plasmonic modes, requiring precise tuning of plasmon resonances to match the absorption region of the silicon active layer. To facilitate the device design and improve light absorption without increasing the thickness of the active layer, we develop a deep learning framework, which learns to map from the absorption spectra to the design space. This inverse design strategy helps to tune the absorption for selective spectral functionalities. Our optimized design surpasses the bare silicon planar device, exhibiting a remarkable enhancement of over 100%. Experimental validation confirms the broadband enhancement of light absorption in the proposed configuration. The proposed metascreen absorber holds great potential for light harvesting applications and may be leveraged to improve the light conversion efficiency of ultra-thin silicon solar cells, photodetectors, and optical filters.

The green plant-based corrosion inhibitors—a sustainable strategy for corrosion protection Abstract Corrosion of metals is an inevitable process in nature which is conducted by a spontaneous electrochemical reaction between the corrosive environment and a metallic surface. Globally, there is a significant loss due to corrosion, and therefore, corrosion inhibition is a basic need. The use of traditional methods such as protective coatings and sacrificial coatings have some limitations, being toxic and not eco-friendly. In this context, the plant-based corrosion inhibitors are emerging as novel, eco-friendly and economically viable alternatives for inhibition of corrosion. The present review is focused on the role of plant extracts and biomass for the inhibition of corrosion. In addition, the potential of secondary metabolites produced by the plants and their activity in combination, mechanism of inhibition and patents generated in the field have been discussed. The green anti-corrosive inhibitors have some limitations as these are less efficient at low concentrations. Furthermore, the microbial corrosion should be studied in detail and the efficacy of plant extracts and essential oils should be evaluated in order to develop a proper anticorrosive strategy. Finally, the effect of these active metabolites in combination with other less-toxic chemicals and essential oils may give rise to newer potential synergistic combinations with far-reaching impact.

Dynamic Covalent Spiropyran Exchange for Rapid Structural Diversification Here we disclose that spiropyrans are able to undergo dynamic covalent exchange via their corresponding merocyanine isomers. In the latter, the indolinium moieties can be exchanged by a Michael-type addition-elimination sequence, in which a methylene indoline attacks a merocyanine and subsequently the initial indoline fragment is cleaved. The rate and position of the exchange equilibrium strongly depend on the reaction conditions as well as the substitution pattern on the methylene indoline fragments. Importantly, spiropyran cross exchange is catalyzed by indolinium salts and provides the opportunity for rapid in situ structural diversification of spiropyrans. This was used as synthetic tool to access various, hitherto inaccessible spiropyrans as potential dual-color photoinitiators for xolography. Moreover, we foresee application to screen dynamic covalent libraries of spiropyrans for photochromic properties and to exploit their light-sensitivity to bias the thermal equilibrium.

Comparative Assessment and Deployment of Zeolites, MOFs, and Activated Carbons for CO2 Capture and Geological Sequestration Applications The rising level of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) is a major driver of climate change, highlighting the need to develop carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies quickly. This paper offers a comparative review of three main groups of porous adsorbent materials—zeolites, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), and activated carbons—for their roles in CO2 capture and long-term storage. By examining their structural features, adsorption capacities, moisture stability, and economic viability, the strengths and weaknesses of each material are assessed. Additionally, five different methods for delivering these materials into depleted oil and gas reservoirs are discussed: direct suspension injection, polymer-assisted transport, foam-assisted delivery, encapsulation with controlled release, and preformed particle gels. The potential of hybrid systems, such as MOF–carbon composites and polymer-functionalized materials, is also examined for improved selectivity and durability in underground environments. This research aims to connect materials science with subsurface engineering, helping guide the selection and use of adsorbent materials in real-world CCS applications. The findings support the optimization of CCS deployment and contribute to broader climate change efforts and the goal of achieving net-zero emissions. Key findings include CO2 adsorption capacities of 3.5–8.0 mmol/g and surface areas up to 7000 m2/g, with MOFs demonstrating the highest uptake and activated carbons offering cost-effective performance.

Nanoarchitectonics of Sustainable Food Packaging: Materials, Methods, and Environmental Factors Nanoarchitectonics influences the properties of objects at micro- and even macro-scales, aiming to develop better structures for protection of product. Although its applications were analyzed in different areas, nanoarchitectonics of food packaging-the focus of this review-has not been discussed, to the best of our knowledge. The (A) structural and (B) functional hierarchy of food packaging is discussed here for the enhancement of protection, extending shelf-life, and preserving the nutritional quality of diverse products including meat, fish, dairy, fruits, vegetables, gelled items, and beverages. Interestingly, the structure and design of packaging for these diverse products often possess similar principles and methods including active packaging, gas permeation control, sensor incorporation, UV/pulsed light processing, and thermal/plasma treatment. Here, nanoarchitechtonics serves as the unifying component, enabling protection against oxidation, light, microbial contamination, temperature, and mechanical actions. Finally, materials are an essential consideration in food packaging, particularly beyond commonly used polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polystyrene (PS), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastics, with emphasis on biodegradable (polybutylene succinate (PBS), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polycaprolactone (PCL), and polybutylene adipate co-terephthalate (PBAT)) as well as green even edible (bio)-materials: polysaccharides (starch, cellulose, pectin, gum, zein, alginate, agar, galactan, ulvan, galactomannan, laccase, chitin, chitosan, hyaluronic acid, etc.). Nanoarchitechnotics design of these materials eventually determines the level of food protection as well as the sustainability of the processes. Marketing, safety, sustainability, and ethics are also discussed in the context of industrial viability and consumer satisfaction.

MOFChecker: a package for validating and correcting metal–organic framework (MOF) structures Metal-organic frameworks are promising porous materials for applications like gas adsorption, separation, transportation, and photocatalysis, but their large-scale computational screening requires high-quality, computation-ready structural data. Existing databases often contain errors due to experimental limitations, including inaccurately determined hydrogen positions, atomic overlaps, and missing components. We introduce MOFChecker to address these issues, providing tools for duplicate detection, geometric and charge error checking, and structure correction. Some errors can be systematically corrected through atomic adjustments on structures in the database, including deleting duplicated structures and adding missing hydrogen atoms, counterions, and linkers. Evaluation of established MOF databases, like the CoRE2014 database, indicates that 38% of structures contain significant errors, highlighting the importance of MOFChecker in ensuring accurate structural data for subsequent density functional theory (DFT) optimizations and computational studies. This work aims to enhance the reliability of MOF databases for high-throughput screening and practical applications.
