Summary: Hexavalent chromium (Cr(vi)) is a toxic heavy metal that poses a threat to human health and marine organisms. The efficient removal of this pollutant is crucial. In this study, a MOF-on-MOF hybrid named Ce-on-Zr-MOF-808, formed by combining Zr-MOF-808 and Ce-MOF-808, was used to reduce Cr(vi) to the less mobile Cr(iii) species. Ce-on-Zr-MOF-808 (1 : 1), which had the lowest bandgap, exhibited the most efficient photocatalytic activity.

Summary: We developed phase separated mixed matrix membranes with an interconnected MOF domain, achieving high CO2 permeability and good mechanical properties. The CO2 permeability of this membrane is 6.6 times higher than that of the pure polymer membrane, while the CO2/N2 and CO2/CH4 selectivity remain largely unchanged. The phase separated membrane also exhibits improved ductility compared to conventional mixed matrix membranes.

Summary: The removal of excessive phosphate from water is important to prevent eutrophication. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have received attention for phosphate adsorption due to their physicochemical features. However, MOFs derived from petroleum-based ligands can have negative environmental impacts. This study used an eco-friendly Aluminum based fumarate MOF (Al-Fum) for phosphate adsorption and compared it with other MOFs. The results showed that Al-Fum had the highest adsorption capacity at room temperature and demonstrated continuous adsorption and stability.

Summary: We demonstrate the potential of metal-organic framework (MOF) composite fibers produced by electrospinning for removing D4 siloxane from gaseous solutions. The fibers are based on polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and a microporous aluminum-based MOF called DUT-4. The best dispersion on the fiber surface is achieved using coaxial electrospinning with a DUT-4:PAN ratio of 1:1.4. The Al-MOF fiber composite shows higher adsorption capacity and faster adsorption kinetics compared to individual DUT-4 crystals.

Summary: The corrosion behavior of Fe-60 and Fe-83 ribbons in 0.6 M NaCl was studied. Fe-60 exhibited a local corrosion mode and formed a stable passivation film with higher corrosion resistance, while Fe-83 showed a combination of local and global corrosion modes and had lower corrosion resistance. Controlling the precipitation of nanocrystalline phases and increasing the POx content in the passivation film significantly improved the corrosion resistance of Fe-based glassy alloys.

Summary: In the study of BM-SCO and HSCO thin films, it was found that H vacancies tend to prefer sites near the external surface or oxygen vacancy channels (OVCs), while H interstitials prefer sites of oxygen on a layer that contains six-fold coordinated Co. These findings not only enrich the understanding of complex surface phenomena of defect formation but also provide an explanation for the reversibility during phase transformation.

Summary: This study explores the potential of biphenylene as a nanocarrier for the delivery of the anticancer drug cisplatin. It is found that biphenylene offers physical stability, rapid release rate, solubility, and bio-compatibilities compared to other nanocarriers. The adsorption of cisplatin on the surface of biphenylene involves charge transfer from cisplatin to biphenylene. The drug is shown to be released at body temperature in an acidic environment. Biphenylene also exhibits excellent cytotoxicity activity and cellular uptake of the drug. Overall, biphenylene shows promise as a potential nanocarrier for cisplatin delivery.

Summary: In this study, a potential platform to enhance Raman scattering and increase the number of observable Raman modes in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) was proposed. The platform consisted of large-scale arrays of gold micropillars (MPs), which were able to enhance the Raman intensity of TMDs and make difficult-to-detect Raman modes observable. The platform showed great industrial advantages and wide applicability due to its low cost, simple process, large controllable area, and short process time.
