  • Traditional electrorefining process is limited by deposition potential of the metal itself. Here, the authors explore an in-situ anodic precipitation process based on different solubility of target metal chlorides that can efficiently separate components of aluminum alloys.

  • Clusters have proven useful models to elucidate the correlation between macroscopic properties and microstructures, but the exploration of actinide clusters lags. Here, the authors report the synthesis of a tetra-shell mixed-metal cluster which features a Th13 core and acts as a highly effective visible light-driven CO2 reduction photocatalyst.

  • The preparation of materials that display macro-mechanical responses to external stimuli is challenging. Here, the authors synthesize metal-organic rotaxane frameworks that contain photoactive axles as linkers; light irradiation triggers photodimerization of the ligands, which leads to macroscopic photomechanical bending of individual bulk crystals.

  • Efficient anion recognition and trapping is of great significance for anion-specific separation processes but the design of an anion-adaptive sorbents remains a challenge. Here the authors use a cucurbit[8]uril based soft cationic supramolecular material as efficient sorbent for TcO4− ions.
