    Abstract A novel trajectory tracking strategy is developed for a double actuated swing in a hydraulic construction robot. Specifically, a nonlinear hydraulic dynamics model of a double actuated swing is established, and a parameter adaptive sliding mode control strategy is designed to enhance the trajectory tracking performance. When an object is grabbed and unloaded, the moment of inertia of a swing considerably changes, and the performance of the estimation algorithm is generally inadequate. Thus, it is necessary to establish an algorithm to identify the initial value of the moment of inertia of the object. To this end, this paper proposes a novel initial value identification algorithm based on a two-DOF robot gravity force identification method combined with stereo vision information. The performance of the identification algorithm is enhanced. Simulations and experiments are performed to verify the effect of the novel control scheme.

    Abstract Metal-halide perovskite (MHP) single crystals are emerging as potential competitors to their polycrystalline thin-film counterparts. These materials have shown the specific feature of extended absorbance towards the near-infrared (NIR) region, which promises further extension of their applications in the field of photovoltaics and photodetectors. This notable expansion of absorbance has been explained by the narrower effective optical bandgap of MHP single crystals promoted by their large thickness over several micrometres to millimetres. Herein, the attributes of the material's thickness and the measurement technique used to estimate these characteristics are discussed to elucidate the actual origins of the extended absorbance of MHP single crystals. Contrary to the general belief of the narrower bandgap of the MHP single crystals, we demonstrate that the extended NIR absorption in the MHP single crystals mainly originates from the combination of unique below-bandgap absorption of MHPs, the thickness of single crystals, and the technical limitation of the spectrophotometer, with the key attributes of (i) significantly large thickness of the MHP single crystals by suppressing the transmitted light and (ii) the detector's limited dynamic range. Combining the theoretical and experimental characterizations, we clarify the significant role of the large thickness together with the limited sensitivity of the detector in promoting the well-known red shift of the absorption onset of the MHP single crystals. The observations evidently show that in some special circumstances, the acquired absorption spectrum cannot reliably represent the optical bandgap of MHP materials. This highlights some misinterpretations in the estimation of the narrower optical bandgap of the MHP single crystals from conventional optical methods, while the optical bandgap is an inherent property independent of the thickness. The proposed broad applications of the MHP single crystals are dictated by their fascinating properties, and therefore, a deep insight into these features should be considered besides device applications, because much of their property-function relationships are still ambiguous and a subject of debate.

    Abstract The membrane process stands as a promising and transformative technology for efficient gas separation due to its high energy efficiency, operational simplicity, low environmental impact, and easy up-and-down scaling. Metal-organic framework (MOF)-polymer mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) combine MOFs' superior gas-separation performance with polymers' processing versatility, offering the opportunity to address the limitations of pure polymer or inorganic membranes for large-scale integration. However, the incompatibility between the rigid MOFs and flexible polymer chains poses a challenge in MOF MMM fabrication, which can cause issues such as MOF agglomeration, sedimentation, and interfacial defects, substantially weakening membrane separation efficiency and mechanical properties, particularly gas separation. This review focuses on engineering MMMs' interfaces, detailing recent strategies for reducing interfacial defects, improving MOF dispersion, and enhancing MOF loading. Advanced characterisation techniques for understanding membrane properties, specifically the MOF-polymer interface, are outlined. Lastly, it explores the remaining challenges in MMM research and outlines potential future research directions.

    Abstract The melting phenomenon in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has been recognised as one of the fourth generation MOF paradigm behaviours. Molten MOFs have high processibility for producing mechanically robust glassy MOF macrostructures, and they also offer highly tunable interfacial characteristics when combined with other types of functional materials, such as crystalline MOFs, inorganic glass and metal halide perovskites. As a result, MOF glass composites have emerged as a family of functional materials with dynamic properties and hierarchical structural control. These nanocomposites allow for sophisticated materials science studies as well as the fabrication of next-generation separation, catalysis, optical, and biomedical devices. Here, we review the approaches for designing, fabricating, and characterising MOF glass composites. We determine the key application opportunities enabled by these composites and explore the remaining hurdles, such as improving thermal and chemical compatibility, regulating interfacial properties, and scalability.

    Abstract Inspired by the high affinity of copper with DNA and RNA, a uracil-copper catalytic system was developed to promote ring-opening allylation of cyclopropanols with allylic alcohols under water-tolerant conditions. A new C-OH bond-breaking model can well resolve the trade-off between the need for acidic activators for C(allyl)-OH bond cleavage and the demand for strong basic conditions for generating homoenolates. Therefore, Morita-Baylis-Hillman alcohols, rather than their pre-activated versions, could be incorporated directly into dehydrative cross-coupling with cyclopropanols delivering water as the only by-product.

    Abstract A direct dehydroxylative and decarboxylative coupling between a large number of allylic alcohols and alkynoic acids was realized affording 1,4-enyne motifs in high efficiency. In this reaction, calcium-promoted C–OH bond cleavage was crucial, which facilitated the sequential ­decarboxylation, and thus enabled the palladium-catalyzed allyl­–alkynyl coupling, which occurred in an environmentally benign manner tolerating a wide variety of functional groups. This protocol has been successfully used in preparing anticancer active rooperol derivatives in gram scale.

    Abstract Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), sometimes also known as coordination polymers, are a very versatile group of materials consisting of metal nodes and organic linkers forming a tunable porous structure that can exist in different structural phases. The capability to synthesise MOF films allows for application in many different fields such as separation, energy, and catalysis. This perspective aims to explore the transport mechanism and tuning strategies in different types of MOF thin films tailored for different applications. Intracrystalline transport, which has been widely studied, has been shown to successfully aid in the selective transport of different molecules by adjusting the MOF's pore structure and environment. However, in the context of thin film, it is also important to consider interframework (for mixed matrix membrane (MMM) thin film) or intercrystalline (for polycrystalline thin film) based transport as it also directly impacts the overall transport of the thin film. Here we highlight the current intracrystalline and intercrystalline/interframework transport tuning strategies, as well as chart a course for future transport tuning strategies tailored for current and future applications.

    Abstract The optimal spatial layout of low impact development best management practices (LID-BMPs) can be used to inform LID-BMP construction to prioritize resources to achieve the highest comprehensive benefits. An objective decomposition algorithm is designed to decompose the control objectives of total rainwater runoff, peak discharge, pollution reduction and rainwater utilization for each pixel of a raster image. A type selection algorithm is then designed to optimize the types of LID-BMPs deployed in each pixel. The most suitable positions for the construction of LID-BMPs are identified using a topographic index model to determine spatial priority level of LID-BMP construction sequence. A multi-objective model, including the maximum average reduction ratios of runoff and pollution and minimum total cost, is constructed. An adaptive differential evolution algorithm (ADEA) is designed to solve the multi-objective optimization problem. The optimal grid-based priority scheme is obtained for high-resolution spatial planning. It is shown that the most suitable positions for implementing LID-BMPs are located in regions with negative soil moisture deficits. Optimal total cost and reduction ratios of runoff and pollution to construct LID-BMPs in Yinchuan, China are $49,463,516, and 0.46 and 0.38 in the first priority scheme; $50,920,496, and 0.74 and 0.62 in the second priority scheme; and $99,207,806, and 0.92 and 0.86 in the third priority scheme. The optimal spatial priority schemes of LID-BMPs obtained from the ADEA can maintain the maximum runoff and pollution controls under different investment periods.

    Abstract Doping is an effective strategy for tuning metal oxide-based semiconductors for solar-driven photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. Despite decades of extensive research effort, the dopant selection is still largely dependent on a trial-and-error approach. Machine learning (ML) is promising in providing predictable insights on the dopant selection for high-performing PEC systems because it can uncover correlations from the seemingly ambiguous linkages between vast features of dopants and the PEC performance of doped photoelectrodes. Herein, the authors successfully build ML model to predict the doping effect of 17 metal dopants into hematite (Fe
