In the cover picture, we adapt the ideal from "Journey to the West," one of Chinese four literary classics. The ancient Chinese mythical character, Monkey King, holds a treasure in his hand, which represents the catalysts with well-defined interface. CO2 is blown out from the mouth of Monkey King, then goes through the catalyst interface, and finally is converted into high value-added chemicals like CH4, CH3OH and CO. This well describes the focus of our paper titled “Progress and Understanding on Catalysts with Well-defined Interface for Boosting CO2 Conversion”.

ABSTRACT

The exploration of a dual-functional sensor is the key to effectively detect the Cr(VI) and Fe(III) cations in water, which is important to human health and environmental sustainability. Because of the phase stability and excellent luminescence, the rare-earth coordination polymers have great potential as dual-functional sensors. Here, we develop a Y0.91Eu0.09(H2O)2{C6H3(CO2)3}(MIL-92(Y):9%Eu3+)-based dual-function luminescent sensor on Cr(VI) and Fe(III), which exhibits excellent phase stability and dispersibility in water. The luminescence of MIL-92(Y):9%Eu3+ aqueous suspension quenches on Fe3+ with Stern-Volmer constant Ksv of 1.79 × 103 M-1 and limit of detection of 17 μM. The MIL-92(Y):9%Eu3+ aqueous suspension also has turn-off sensing ability towards Cr2O72- and CrO42- with Ksv values of 3.5 × 103 and 6.14 × 103 M-1, respectively. It has detection limitations of 10 and 5 μM on Cr2O72- and Cr2O72- ions, respectively.
