Recent progress on synthesis of ZIF-67-based materials and their application to heterogeneous catalysis
Chongxiong Duan, Yi Yu*, Han Hu*
In this review, we discuss various strategies for the preparation of ZIF-67-based materials including the solvothermal method, surfactant-assisted method, sol–gel method, and microwave/ultrasound-assisted method. We also discuss the applications of ZIF-67-based materials in heterogeneous catalysis fields including the redox reactions, addition reactions, esterifications, Knoevenagel condensations, and hydrogenation–dehydrogenation reactions.

Improving the stability, lithium diffusion dynamics, and specific capacity of SrLi2Ti6O14 via ZrO2 coating
Hong-Li Ding, Hai-Tao Yu, Xiao-dong Wang, Chen-Feng Guo, Bing Zheng, Ying Xie*, Ting-Feng Yi*
A stable ZrO2 layer was successfully coated on SrLi2Ti6O14 surface through Ti–O/Zr–O covalent bonds. The covalent coating leads to a metallic surface state and avoid direct contact between SrLi2Ti6O14 and electrolyte, responsible for the obvious improvement of the performance.

Zunhang Lv, Kaihang Wang, Yingying Si, Zihan Li, Tianpeng Yu, Xin Liu, Guixue Wang, Guangwen Xie*, Luhua Jiang*
This work successfully performs the interface engineering by alternately depositing Co–P and Ni–Fe–P films on nickel foam, via facile electroless plating and de-alloying process. The as-prepared Co–P/Ni–Fe–P/NF electrode shows various structures in different layers and exhibits enhanced HER performance.

Lili Jiang, Ke Mei, Kaihong Chen, Rina Dao, Haoran Li, Congmin Wang*
On the basis of quantitative calculations through a combination of Langmuir simulation, theoretical calculation and quantum chemical method, SO2 absorption and desorption performance from flue gas by twelve kinds of imidazolium ionic liquids with different anions were designed and predicted. An ideal ionic liquid [Emim][Tetz] was obtained through the predictive method for the capture of SO2 of 2000 ppm, which shows the highest available absorption capacity.

A novel proton-gradient-transfer acid complexes as an efficient and reusable catalyst for fatty acid esterification
Xiaomin Zhang, Wenjie Xiong, Zengyu Yin, Yongle Chen, Youting Wu*, Xingbang Hu*
A novel series of proton-gradient-transfer acid complexes (PGTACs) were developed for esterification reaction. These catalysts work well resulting from the advantages of strong acids (high catalytic activity) and ionic liquids (phase separation). Moreover, they can be functionalized as reaction-induced selfseparation catalyst by simple decantation to regenerate.

The storage mechanism difference between amorphous and anatase as supercapacitors
Wanggang Zhang1, Yiming Liu1*, Zhiyuan Song, Changwan Zhuang, Aili Wei
In addition to the crystal differences, the mesopores ～2 nm exist in the amorphous TNAs are the main reason for the electrochemical performance, since at relatively high current density, these mesopores will “block” the transport of the Na＋.
