Summary: We have developed a method for controlling surface wettability patterns by growing ZnO nanorods on laser-microstructured silicon. The prepared surfaces are superhydrophilic and can transition to a wetting state with high water contact angles under certain conditions. The surfaces also exhibit reversible wettability with external stimuli. This method allows for local modification of the wetting state, enabling directed liquid motion for microfluidic applications.

Summary: Nanocarriers have been successfully used to improve the delivery of antitumor drugs, with the potential to enhance bioavailability and therapeutic efficiency. Phosphorene, a new nanomaterial, shows promise as a drug delivery system due to its low cytotoxicity, biocompatibility, and high drug loading capacity. The interaction between phosphorene and thioguanine molecules was studied using density functional theory-based simulations, showing physisorption of the drug on the phosphorene surface. The results indicate that the phosphorene-thioguanine complex has higher biodegradability and altered optical conductivity.

These nanoparticles prevent the collapse of micropores in the membrane, while also providing fast diffusion pathways and facilitating CO2 transport. The resulting mixed matrix membranes display high CO2 permeability and CO2/N-2 selectivity, with only a slight reduction in CO2 permeability observed under long-term operating conditions.

Summary: Effective capture and recovery of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) from SF6/N2 mixture is a challenge that needs to be urgently addressed. This study used computational screening to identify top-performance metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for SF6/N2 separation. The degree of unsaturation (unsat) and the number of hydrogen per unit cell (H) were found to be important factors. One of the screened MOFs, FIRNAX01(TKL-107), showed superior separation performance compared to previously reported MOFs. This computational screening not only enables effective prediction, but also accelerates the development of novel MOFs.

Summary: Titanium dioxide (TiO2) has been investigated as a photoelectrode material for solar-energy-driven water splitting. However, its limitations in terms of conductivity, light absorption, and band gap have hindered its application. In this study, the substitution of Ag, Fe, and Co in TiO2 was found to alter its properties and shift the bandgap to the visible region. Co-doped TiO2 showed high absorption and photoconductivity, as well as a low bandgap suitable for water reduction without external energy.

Summary: By using molecular dynamics simulation, we studied the wettability of a textured surface with a periodic array of hierarchical pillars. We investigated the wetting transition from the Cassie-Baxter (CB) to Wenzel (WZ) states by changing the height and spacing of the minor pillars. Our findings reveal the molecular structures and free energies of the transition and meta-stable states between the CB and WZ states. The taller and denser minor pillars greatly enhance the hydrophobicity of the pillared surface, increasing the activation energy required for the CB-to-WZ transition and significantly increasing the contact angle of a water droplet on such a surface.

Summary: Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are commonly used as fillers in mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) to enhance gas separation performance. However, non-selective interface defects and discontinuous dispersion of MOF particles in polymeric matrices affect the efficiency of molecular transfer. This study successfully constructs a defect-free mixed matrix ion gel membrane by embedding [C5min][BF4] encapsulated ZIF-67 (IL@ZIF) composites into an IL/Pebax ion gel matrix, resulting in a CO2 permeability of 408.2 Barrer and CO2/N2 selectivity of 97.2 with 80 wt% IL content and 70 wt% IL@ZIF doping amount. This work has significant reference value for the development of high-performance MOF-based MMMs for gas separation.
