The use of metal organic frameworks as hard templates for the preparation of
heterogeneous catalysts is thoroughly reviewed. In this critical article, the main factors to …

This review (with 200 references) summarises the state of the art of gas and vapour sensors
based on the use of vanadium oxide (VO x; with V occurring in various valencies) …

The performance of chemically intercalated V2O5 was found to strongly depend on the
interlayer spacing, which is related to the radius of hydrated metal ion, which can be readily …

Zinc‐ion batteries are under current research focus because of their uniqueness in low cost
and high safety. However, it is still desirable to improve the rate performance by improving …

Vanadium oxides, particularly hydrated forms like V2O5· n H2O (VOH), stand out as
promising cathode candidates for aqueous zinc ion batteries due to their adjustable layered …

The lithium‐sulfur battery is a compelling energy storage system because its high theoretical
energy density exceeds Li‐ion batteries at much lower cost, but applications are thwarted by …

Smart radiative cooling devices based on thermochromic materials such as vanadium
dioxide (VO2) are of practical interest for temperature regulation and artificial homeostasis …

Two-dimensional transition-metal-based carbides (or nitrides), so-called MXenes, that can
be derived from the three-dimensional MAX phases, have attracted considerable attention …

Nanomaterials with enzyme‐like activity (nanozymes) attract significant interest owing to
their applications in biomedical research. Particularly, redox nanozymes that exhibit …

The oxidation mechanisms and the numerous phase transitions undergone by VO 2 thin
films deposited on SiO 2/Si and Al 2 O 3 substrates when heated from room temperature …
