We calculate complete basis set (CBS) limit-extrapolated ionization potentials (IPs) and electron affinities (EA) with Slater-type basis sets for the molecules in the GW100 database. To this end, we present two new Slater-type orbital (STO) basis sets of triple-(TZ) and quadruple-ζ (QZ) quality, whose polarization is adequate for correlated-electron methods and which contain extra diffuse functions to be able to correctly calculate EAs of molecules with a positive lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO). We demonstrate that going from TZ to QZ quality consistently reduces the basis set error of our computed IPs and EAs, and we conclude that a good estimate of these quantities at the CBS limit can be obtained by extrapolation. With mean absolute deviations (MAD) from 70 to 85 meV, our CBS limit-extrapolated IP are in good agreement with results from FHI-AIMS, TURBOMOLE, VASP, and WEST, while they differ by more than 130 meV on average from nanoGW. With a MAD of 160 meV, our EA are also in good agreement with the WEST code. Especially for systems with positive LUMOs, the agreement is excellent. With respect to other codes, the STO-type basis sets generally underestimate EAs of small molecules with strongly bound LUMOs. NEO2734 mouse With 62 meV for IPs and 93 meV for EAs, we find much better agreement with CBS limit-extrapolated results from FHI-AIMS for a set of 250 medium to large organic molecules.A series of V-substituted α-MnO2 (KxMn8-yVyO16·nH2O, y = 0, 0.2, 0.34, 0.75) samples were successfully synthesized without crystalline or amorphous impurities, as evidenced by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed a morphological evolution from nanorods to nanoplatelets as V-substitution increased, while electron-energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) confirmed uniform distribution of vanadium within the materials. Rietveld refinement of synchrotron XRD showed an increase in bond lengths and a larger range of bond angles with increasing V-substitution. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) of the as-prepared materials revealed the V valence to be >4+ and the Mn valence to decrease with increasing V content. Upon electrochemical lithiation, increasing amounts of V were found to preserve the Mn-Mnedge relationship at higher depths of discharge, indicating enhanced structural stability. Electrochemical testing showed the y = 0.75 V-substituted sample to deliver the highest capacity and capacity retention after 50 cycles. The experimental findings were consistent with the predictions of density functional theory (DFT), where the V centers impart structural stability to the manganese oxide framework upon lithiation. The enhanced electrochemistry of the y = 0.75 V-substituted sample is also attributed to its smaller crystallite size in the form of a nanoplatelet morphology, which promotes facile ion access via reduced Li-ion diffusion path lengths.The development of effective propane (C3H8)-selective adsorbents for the purification of propylene (C3H6) from C3H8/C3H6 mixture is a promising alternative to replace the energy-intensive cryogenic distillation. However, few materials possess the dual desirable features of propane selectivity and high uptake capacity. Here, we report a family of pore-space-partitioned crystalline porous materials (CPM) with remarkable C3H8 uptake capacity (up to 10.9 mmol/g) and the highly desirable yet uncommon C3H8 selectivity (up to 1.54 at 0.1 bar and 1.44 at 1 bar). The selectivity-capacity synergy endows them with record-performing C3H8/C3H6 separation potential (i.e., C3H6 recovered from the mixture). Moreover, these CPMs exhibit outstanding properties including high stability, low regeneration energy, and multimodular chemical and geometrical tunability within the same isoreticular framework. The high C3H8/C3H6 separation performance was further confirmed by the breakthrough experiments.Solar-driven interfacial water evaporation is one promising technology for seawater desalination and sewage purification because it offers a feasible and sustainable strategy to relieve global water scarcity. Herein, a novel hybrid film composed of recycled carbon soot and poly(vinyl alcohol) is developed by a very simple, green, and highly scalable "salt-assisted" assembling method. The hybrid film possesses characteristics with a porous structure, superhydrophilicity, ∼100% light absorption, and low thermal conductivity, which can effectively convert light into heat under solar illumination. Consequently, the hybrid film can achieve a photothermal conversion efficiency of 91.5% under a stimulated solar irradiation of 1 kW m-2. Furthermore, the hybrid film can be applied for seawater desalination and dye wastewater purification. The findings of our work not only provide a new photothermal platform with high light-to-thermal conversion ability and good reusability but also open a new avenue for the applications of carbon soot-based hybrid films in solar-assisted water evaporation and sewage purification.A thorough structural characterization of the La(NO3)3 salt dissolved into several mixtures of ethyl ammonium nitrate (EAN) and methanol (MeOH) with EAN molar fraction χEAN ranging from 0 to 1 has been carried out by combining molecular dynamics (MD) and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). The XAS and MD results show that changes take place in the La3+ first solvation shell when moving from pure MeOH to pure EAN. With increasing the ionic liquid content of the mixture, the La3+ first-shell complex progressively loses MeOH molecules to accommodate more and more nitrate anions. Except in pure EAN, the La3+ ion is always able to coordinate both MeOH and nitrate anions, with a ratio between the two ligands that changes continuously in the entire concentration range. When moving from pure MeOH to pure EAN, the La3+ first solvation shell passes from a 10-fold bicapped square antiprism geometry where all the nitrate anions act only as monodentate ligands to a 12-coordinated icosahedral structure in pure EAN where the nitrate anions bind the La3+ cation both in mono- and bidentate modes. The La3+ solvation structure formed in the MeOH/EAN mixtures shows a great adaptability to changes in the composition, allowing the system to reach the ideal compromise among all of the different interactions that take place into it.
