Formation mechanism of bright and dark concentric-ring pattern in dielectric barrier discharge

In this work, a bright and dark concentric-ring pattern is reported in a dielectric barrier discharge for the first time. The spatiotemporal dynamics of the bright and dark concentric-ring pattern are investigated with an intensified charge-coupled device and photomultiplier tubes. The results indicate that the bright and dark concentric-ring pattern is composed of three concentric-ring sublattices. These are bright concentric-ring structures, dark concentric-ring structures and wider concentric-ring structures, respectively. The bright concentric-ring structures and dark concentric-ring structures are alternately distributed. The bright concentric-ring structures are located at the centre of the wider concentric-ring structures. The wider concentric-ring structures first form from the outer edge and gradually develop to the centre. The essence of all three concentric-ring structures is the individual discharge filaments. The optical emission spectra of different sublattices are acquired and analysed. It is found that the plasma parameters of the three concentric-ring sublattices are different. Finally, the formation mechanism of the bright and dark concentric-ring pattern is discussed.

Phosphorylating Tannin in Urea System: A Simple Approach for Enhanced Methylene Blue Removal from Aqueous Media.

Tannin, after lignin, is one of the most abundant sources of natural aromatic biomolecules. It has been used and chemically modified during the past few decades to create novel biobased materials. This work intended to functionalize for the first time quebracho Tannin (T) through a simple phosphorylation process in a urea system. The phosphorylation of tannin was studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), NMR, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), and X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF), while further characterization was performed by scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDX) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) to investigate the morphology, composition, structure, and thermal degradation of the phosphorylated material. Results indicated the occurrence of phosphorylation, suggesting the insertion of phosphate-containing groups into the tannin structure, revealing a high content of phosphate for modified tannin (PT). This elevated phosphorus content serves as evidence for the successful incorporation of phosphate groups through the functionalization process. The corresponding PT and T were employed as adsorbents for methylene blue (MB) removal from aqueous solutions. The results revealed that the Langmuir isotherm model effectively represents the adsorption isotherms. Additionally, the pseudo-second-order model indicates that chemisorption predominantly controls the adsorption mechanism. This finding also supports the fact that the introduced phosphate groups via the phosphorylation process significantly contributed to the improved adsorption capacity. Under neutral pH conditions and at room temperature, the material achieved an impressive adsorption capacity of 339.26 mg·g-1 in about 2 h.

Cytotoxicity of Zirconium Oxide Nanoparticles on Rabbit Tooth Gum Cells

The cytotoxicity mechanism of zirconium oxide nanoparticles (ZrO2-NPs) has not been clarified to-date. Nevertheless, the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by ZrO2-NPs has been perceived as an important mechanism in some in vivo studies. Accordingly, this study was conducted to identify the potential effects of ZrO2-NPs on rabbit tooth gum cells as well as the mechanism/s of their cytotoxicity. Synthesized ZrO2-NPs were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), Cell viability, ROS level, lipid peroxidation (LPO), mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), glutathione count (GSH/GSSG), lysosome damage and apoptosis/necrosis were evaluated. Biodistribution studies were conducted on tooth gum, liver, kidney, heart and brain tissues in the rabbit using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP/OES). ZrO2-NPs increased ROS, MMP collapse and malondialdehyde (MDA). In contrast, GSH/GSSG and apoptosis/necrosis were found to be changed. The ZrO2-NPs accumulated significantly more on rabbit tooth gum tissues compared with other organs ([Formula: see text]). The study provided evidence that ZrO2-NPs cannot be considered completely biocompatible in the gum cell tissues of the rabbit. Before these nanoparticles can be used for human dental applications, further investigations on a wide range of cell death signaling should be performed.

Synthesis and evaluation of electrochemical and photocatalytic properties of rare Earth, Ni and Co mixed oxides recycled from spent Ni–MH battery anodes

This study presents a new environmentally favorable hydrometallurgical approach to the recycling of nickel–metal hydride (Ni–MH) battery anodes into new materials based on mixed oxides of Ni, Co, Mn, and lanthanides, which were applied as photocatalysts and electrodes in alkaline media. The starting material was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). Tartaric acid was used as leaching agent for anode metals, and the resulting tartrate salts were converted to oxides via thermal treatment. Characterization of the synthesized materials was performed by XRD, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used to analyze the electrochemical properties of oxides, which were found to behave as electric double-layer capacitors. The recycled materials were used as catalysts in the decolorization of methylene blue in the presence of H2O2 under UV radiation. A decolorization efficiency greater than 90% was achieved in a shorter time than that taken for the non-catalyzed reaction to achieve 80% color removal (maximum decolorization). The results showed that methylene blue photocatalysis and photolysis differ in optimal pH conditions and that the catalyzed reaction follows pseudo-first-order kinetics.

Optical emission characterization of an atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharge in nitrogen: Evolution of CN emissions during PTFE etching

AbstractThe present work investigates the etching of coated polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) films using an atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharge operating in nitrogen in a filamentary regime. For different treatment durations, the optical emission spectra were recorded over time. Most of the emissions are attributed to the N2 second positive system. The presence of CN is also observed, and its emissions rise with the exposure time of PTFE. This rise is attributed to the density of CN produced. The X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy surface characterization suggests two etching regimes. This is linked with a change in slope in the intensity evolution of the optical emissions of the CN. At longer times, a fluorinated deposit on the electrode is observed, confirming a different nature of the etched material.

A disc wind origin for the optical spectra of dwarf novae in outburst

Abstract Many high-state cataclysmic variables (CVs) exhibit blue-shifted absorption features in their ultraviolet (UV) spectra – a smoking-gun signature of outflows. However, the impact of these outflows on optical spectra remains much more uncertain. During its recent outburst, the eclipsing dwarf nova V455 And displayed strong optical emission lines whose cores were narrower than expected from a Keplerian disc. Here, we explore whether disc + wind models developed for matching UV observations of CVs can also account for these optical spectra. Importantly, V455 And was extremely bright at outburst maximum: the accretion rate implied by fitting the optical continuum with a standard disc model is $\dot{M}_{\rm acc} \simeq 10^{-7}~{\rm M}_\odot ~{\rm yr^{-1}}$. Allowing for continuum reprocessing in the outflow helps to relax this constraint. A disk wind can also broadly reproduce the optical emission lines, but only if the wind is (i) highly mass-loaded, with a mass-loss rate reaching $\dot{M}_{\rm wind} \simeq 0.4 \dot{M}_{\rm acc}$, and/or (ii) clumpy, with a volume filling factor fV ≃ 0.1. The same models can describe the spectral evolution across the outburst, simply by lowering $\dot{M}_{\rm acc}$ and $\dot{M}_{\rm wind}$. Extending these models to lower inclinations and into the UV produces spectra consistent with those observed in face-on high-state CVs. We also find, for the first time in simulations of this type, P-Cygni-like absorption features in the Balmer series, as have been observed in both CVs and X-ray binaries. Overall, dense disc winds provide a promising framework for explaining multiple observational signatures seen in high-state CVs, but theoretical challenges persist.

Carrier-Gas free arc igniter microplasma optical emission spectrometry for the determination of arsenic in soil

Rapid on-site assessment of arsenic contamination in soils is crucial for environmental protection and human health. In order to build an effective and affordable device for the determination of arsenic, the use of carrier gas supplies and high power energy consumption largely limit the miniaturization of microplasma-based optical emission spectrometry (OES). An arc igniter microplasma (AIM) can be powered by a low DC power supply and operated in the atmosphere of air without gas infusion, which is beneficial to construct a carrier-gas free and low power supply unit setup. Hydride generation (HG) can improve sample transport efficiency and reduce matrix effects, but the generated by-product hydrogen has not been explored as a sole working gas for plasma excitation. In this work, a hydride generation arc igniter microplasma optical emission spectrometer (HG-AIM-OES) was fabricated for detecting arsenic in soils. H2 derived from HG was served as a working gas to transport AsH3 to excite, eliminating the use of a carrier gas unit. Under the optimized operating conditions, the limit of detection (LOD) for arsenic was 164 μg/L (the analytical line at 234.98 nm), and good linearity of the method was achieved in the range of 0.5–20 mg/L with a precision of 3.14 % (the concentration of arsenic at 1 mg/L). In addition, the influence of H2 on AIM physical properties was carefully studied in the air and Ar discharge atmospheres. The accuracy of the proposed device was validated by the analysis of certified reference materials (CRMs) and a real soil sample, resulting in good agreement with the obtained results by air and Ar as working gas. This HG-AIM-OES system provides a miniaturized, carrier gas-free and low power consuming tool for monitoring and assessment of arsenic-contaminated soils.

Magnetically recoverable CuFe2O4 nanocatalyst: Dual catalytic action in sonogashira and Chan-Lam coupling reactions

Magnetically retrievable CuFe2O4 nanocatalyst has been synthesized for Sonogashira (C-C) and Chan-Lam (C-N) coupling reactions by a facile co-precipitation method. Synthesized nanocatalyst was characterized by powder x-ray diffraction (PXRD), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) analysis. The catalytic action of the catalyst was evaluated for both Pd-free C-C coupling and base-free C-N coupling reactions where an excellent product yield up to 96 % and 95 % respectively was obtained. The uniqueness of the catalyst was its effective performance under ambient reaction conditions in green solvents such as EtOH and EtOH:H2O (1:1) with a broad substrate scope. The catalyst can be easily retrieved from the reaction mixture with the aid of an external magnet and reused at least five times without significant loss in catalytic activity. The structural stability of the recovered catalyst was confirmed by XRD, FTIR, SEM and ICP-OES (Inductively coupled plasma - optical emission spectrometry) analysis. Thus, the synthesized catalyst works excellently well for dual applications and establishes the sustainable application of the catalyst.

Analysis of the Concentration of Selected Elements in Teeth Hard Tissues and Their Role in Biomineralization Processes

The role of trace elements, heavy metals, and their effect on the development of hard tissue mineralization balance is poorly documented and the available results are often contradictory. The aim of the present study was the assessment of the concentration of the selected elements in the teeth of deer (Capreolus capreolus) and red deer (Cervus elaphus) with respect to their potential role in maintaining biomineralization balance in teeth hard tissues. Moreover, the aim was to determine whether trace elements accumulate in teeth with age. This study was conducted on 22 molar teeth of red deer (Cervus elaphus) and 54 molar teeth of roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) from Poland. Samples were analyzed with the use of inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry equipped with a concentric nebulizer and cyclonic spray chamber in order to determine their Al, Ba, Cd, Fe, K, Li, Mg, Na, Ni, Pb, Sr, and Zn contents. There were strong positive correlations between strontium and zinc with heavy metals, particularly in dentine, which may affect the neutralization of the negative effects of heavy metals on tooth tissue and, consequently, maintaining ionic balance. The accumulation of trace elements with age in serenades has not been confirmed.

Experimental Research on the Study of Мéntha Piperíta Makro- and Microelement Composition Growing in Goris, Syunik Region

The purpose of our work was to study the qualitative and quantitative composition of the mineral elements of peppermint (Méntha piperíta) leaves. The relevance of the study is revealed by the fact that, though some trace elements in low concentrations are necessary for plant growth, their excess can lead to plant death. This effect depends both on the nature of the element and on the type of plant. To achieve this goal, we used the method of optical emission spectroscopy with inductively coupled plasma on an Agilent 5110 ICP-OEC equipment. The object of research was the dried aerial part of peppermint (Méntha piperíta) growing in Goris region of Armenia. The content of 30 elements was determined, for five of which the biological absorption coefficient is greater than unity. This means that these elements accumulate in plants. These include strontium and molybdenum, which are toxic elements. Based on the data presented, it is certainly necessary to control the maximum permissible concentrations of molybdenum and strontium in peppermint (Méntha piperita) collections before using it in cooking and for the creation of medicinal products.

Potentially toxic metals in road dust: An assessment of ecological and health risks at Woldia and Kobo towns in North Wollo, Ethiopia

ABSTRACT The accumulation of heavy metals (HMs) in the environment threatens the ecosystem and human well-being. This study investigated the amounts of Mn, Fe, Ni, Co, Cu, Zn, Cd, Hg, Pb, As, and Cr, as well as the associated health and ecological risks. Thirty samples of roadside dust were collected in the northern Ethiopian towns of Woldia and Kobo. The collected samples were digested using acid digestion method and the levels of heavy metals were analysed using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy. The results showed that the average concentrations of HMs were 0.103 (As)-7.6 (Cd) and 0.083 (Cd)-3.80 (Fe) mg/kg in Woldia and Kobo, respectively. All the HM concentrations investigated in this study were lower than the average global concentration, except for Hg in both towns and Cd in Woldia town. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) for the heavy metal concentration showed a significant difference across each sampling site, while Ni and Hg did not show a significant difference. The hazard quotient (HQ) and hazard index (HI) values of all HMs for adults and children through the three exposure routes were lower than 1, which means that they had a low likelihood of noncarcinogenic risks. The pollution index, geoaccumulation index, ecological risk index, integrated pollution index and risk index parameters were used to estimate the ecological risk. The results demonstrated that the pollution level mainly varied between low and moderate levels, except in Woldia, which is highly polluted by Cd metal that further detailed research is highly recommended to find out the sources of this metal.

Constraining the physical properties of gas in high-z galaxies with far-infrared and submillimetre line ratios

Optical emission line diagnostics, which are a common tool for constraining the properties of the interstellar medium (ISM) of galaxies, become progressively inaccessible at higher redshifts for ground-based facilities. Far-infrared (FIR) emission lines, which are redshifted into atmospheric windows that are accessible for ground-based submillimetre facilities, could provide ISM diagnostics alternative to optical emission lines. We investigated FIR line ratios involving CII OIII OIII NII and NIII using synthetic emission lines applied to a high-resolution gas $= 883.4 M$_ odot $) cosmological zoom-in simulation, including radiative transfer post-processing with the code at z = 6.5. We find that the CII NII 122 ratio is sensitive to the temperature and density of photodissociation regions. It might therefore be a useful tool for tracing the properties of this gas phase in galaxies. We also find that NII NIII is a good tracer of the temperature and that OIII OIII 88 is a good tracer of the gas density of HII regions. Emission line ratios containing the OIII line are sensitive to high-velocity outflowing gas.

Self-consistent calculation of the optical emission spectrum of an argon capacitively coupled plasma based on the coupling of particle simulation with a collisional-radiative model

We report the development of a computational framework for the calculation of the optical emission spectrum of a low-pressure argon capacitively coupled plasma (CCP), which is based on the coupling of a particle-in-cell/Monte Carlo collision simulation code with a diffusion-reaction-radiation code for Ar I excited levels. In this framework, the particle simulation provides the rates of the direct and stepwise electron-impact excitation and electron-impact de-excitation for 30 excited levels, as well as the rates of electron-impact direct and stepwise ionization. These rates are used in the solutions of the diffusion equations of the excited species in the second code, along with the radiative rates for a high number of Ar-I transitions. The calculations also consider pooling ionization, quenching reactions, and radial diffusion losses. The electron energy distribution function and the population densities of the 30 excited atomic levels are computed self-consistently. The calculations then provide the emission intensities that reproduce reasonably well the experimentally measured optical emission spectrum of a symmetric CCP source operated at 13.56 MHz with 300 V peak-to-peak voltage, in the 2–100 Pa pressure range. The accuracy of the approach appears to be limited by the one-dimensional nature of the model, the treatment of the radiation trapping through the use of escape factors, and the effects of radiative cascades from higher excited levels not taken into account in the model.

Photoluminescence Quenching Upon Growth of Metal Nanoparticles: Quantum-Mechanical Views.

In dictating the optical processes in metal nanoparticles, for instance, quantum nature of free electrons is significantly dominant and plays very crucial roles at the level of nanoscale dimensions of materials. As consequences of the quantum-confinement effects on the conduction electrons, surface-plasmon resonance induced optical absorption and light emission properties of metal nanoparticles are found to be strongly dependent on physical dimensions of the nanomaterials. In addition, surface-confined acoustic vibration (phonon) modes have been experimentally observed to depend on the sizes of the metal nanoparticles. Also, interestingly, tuning of the surface-plasmon resonance condition is found to enhance the intensity of the acoustic Raman modes in metal nanoparticles. The study highlights the role of plasmon-phonon coupling in Co metal nanoparticles embedded in a silica-glass. In the research field of nanosciences and nanotechnologies, extraordinary behaviour and properties of nanoscale matters are investigated. In this context, interesting studies have been discussed in this review article to elaborate optical, chemical and photoluminescence properties of nanoscale Ag metal particles. Subtle detection of optical phenomena associated with the excited many-body electronic processes in the metal nanoparticles, for example, are very interesting but definitely challenging. Here we make an attempt to find out how the thermal growth of Ag metal nanoparticles in a glass matrix snuffs out the light emission from the samples? Quantum mechanical interpretations of the underlying processes about the quenching of photoluminescence phenomena with the growth of the metal nanoparticles will help to fine tune the optical properties of plasmonic systems as well as to harness potential applications of the nanomaterials.

Impact of Soluble and Exchangeable Concentrations of Elements in Surface Sediments from Recreational Areas on Culturable Bacterial Behaviors

Contamination of major and trace elements in sediments is a global concern due to their potential risks to organisms. Bacteria also play vital roles in ecosystem processes and human health. However, the environmental adaptation of bacterial species due to human activities remains unclear. Therefore, in this study, surface sediments were collected from 12 recreational areas in Istanbul, Türkiye. Major and trace elements were determined in soluble and exchangeable fractions of sediments using inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). In addition, viability and primary biochemical and oxidative markers (protein, antioxidant, and lipid peroxidase) of gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and gram-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa were assessed with exposure to soluble and exchangeable fractions of sediments from 1 to 42 h. The results showed that Na, Mg, K, Ca, P, Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn, and Al were present at average concentrations of 1254.1 ± 574.5, 234857.0 ± 126335.7, 109960.3 ± 73248.6, 201343.0 ± 84426.4, 124.0 ± 77.1, 129.5 ± 82.4, 36.0 ± 22.8, 25.2 ± 32.8, 26.3 ± 16.4, and 186.5 ± 76.7 mg/kg, respectively. The bacterial responses to the soluble and exchangeable fractions of sediments showed that approximately 27% of Staphylococcus aureus exhibited inhibition at short exposures; the inhibition levels were 14% to 34% for Pseudomonas aeruginosa. However, the inhibition decreased and no specific viability changes were observed at longer exposures compared to controls. The viability of bacteria is explained by the protein, antioxidant and lipid peroxidation with moderate and strong correlations. The bacterial responses were evaluated using elemental concentrations, and adaptation was explained by the correlation results.

Development Of A Distance Education Experiment Set That Allows The Ratio Of Chemical Components In Hydroponic Farming Nutrient Liquid To Be Estimated By Artificial Intelligence

With the increase and development of electronic systems, especially with the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) applications, AI has begun to meet many of humanity's needs. Due to the rapidly increasing human population and the decreasing availability of fertile land, the use of AI has become necessary in rapidly expanding soilless agriculture practices. One of the biggest challenges in soilless agriculture is the inability to accurately determine the chemical content of nutrient solutions in real-time. In this study, the results of inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) and electrical conductivity (EC) were obtained for 300 hydroponic agriculture nutrient solutions containing different ratios of Mg, K, and P minerals. The obtained data were evaluated using artificial neural networks in Matlab® software, with ICP-OES results as inputs and EC results as outputs (3 inputs-1 output). The results were uploaded to the cloud system using Firebase, and an EC meter capable of communicating with the cloud was developed. The results of the produced EC meter were compared with the data in the cloud, and attempts were made to determine the element ratios in the nutrient solution content of 300 samples using artificial neural networks. The Pearson Correlation Constant (R) was found to be 0.860 for all data. According to the test results obtained with the produced system, the success rate of the artificial neural network in detecting the chemical composition of the nutrient solution ranged from 53.2% to 87.4% depending on the chemical ratios in the nutrient solution.

Empirical line ratios for optical emission spectroscopy in low-temperature, low-density, magnetised Ar plasmas

Spectroscopic evaluation of electron temperature and density in low-temperature, low-density, magnetized plasmas can be difficult, but necessary in situations where chemical erosion and physical sputtering prevent the use of other diagnostics, such as Langmuir probes (LP). Further, in such cases, because of the low densities and temperatures, the vessel and environment involved, theoretical line ratios derived from Collisional-Radiative models may not be easily applicable. This is the case, for example, of low-temperature (<15 eV), low-density (<1011 cm−3), magnetised plasma used for plasma-material interaction studies where chemical erosion and physical sputtering can be significant. The aim of the present work is to define an empirical line ratio (ELR) method derived from an extensive calibration campaign with the two diagnostics, using LP measurements as a reference. The ELR method is useful to permit the use of optical emission spectroscopy independent of LP in conditions that are critical for the latter, resulting in an effective instrument for the evaluation of plasma parameters. Further, the use of two different lines of sight and the influence of the magnetic field intensity on the measurements are also discussed. The proposed ELR method is demonstrated here for pure Ar linear plasmas and is in principle applicable also to other similar cases.

Effect of Heat Treatment on the Microstructural Heterogeneity and Abrasive Wear Behavior of ASTM A128 Grade C Steel.

Microstructural heterogeneities of an ASTM A128 grade C steel subjected to heat treatments and their effect on abrasive wear behavior were investigated. The heat-treatment process involved different austenization times at 1050 °C and quenching media. To characterize the effects of heat treatment on the material's microstructure and mechanical behavior, two microscopy techniques were used: optical microscopy (OM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The chemical composition of the material was obtained using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) optical emission spectrometry. The variation in carbide composition was evaluated using X-ray Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS). To characterize the mechanical behavior of the steel, hardness measurements and abrasive wear tests were performed after homogenization annealing and quenching treatments. The results showed that the heat-treated samples developed a heterogeneous microstructure, with the presence of austenitic grains and Martensite around the surface of the samples induced by decarburization in both the protected and unprotected specimens. The specimens with lower decarburization presented less formation of Martensite and precipitated carbides, resulting in lower hardness values and higher abrasion resistance (solution treatment at 1080 °C for 1 h + sand protection + brine quenching).

Post‐Synthetic Modification of Mixed‐Metal UiO‐66 Framework for Rapid Neutralization of Chemical Warfare Agent Simulants

AbstractMetal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) are a promising class of materials for catalysis, offering unique opportunities for designing efficient and selective catalysts. In this study, we have focused on the synthesis and catalytic activity of a novel mixed metal MOF, Ce/Zr−UiO‐66@LiOtBu, designed for the rapid hydrolysis of chemical warfare agents simulants: dimethyl 4‐nitrophenyl phosphate (DMNP) and 2‐chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES). This MOF was thoroughly characterized using powder X‐ray diffraction (PXRD), BET surface area, and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP‐OES). The catalytic performance of Ce/Zr−UiO‐66@LiOtBu was monitored in the hydrolysis of DMNP and CEES by using 31P NMR and GC‐MS respectively. Remarkably, the MOF demonstrated rapid and efficient catalytic activity, breaking the P−O bond in DMNP with 2 min and the hydrolysis of CEES was observed in less than 45 min The results suggest the potential application of Ce/Zr−UiO‐66@LiOtBu as a robust catalyst in the detoxification of chemical warfare agent simulants. Our findings highlight the novelty of Ce/Zr−UiO‐66@LiOtBu as a catalytically active MOF, showcasing the successful integration of cerium ions and lithium tert‐butoxide to enhance basicity.
