Summary: Developing a novel synthetic strategy named gelothermal synthesis, the researchers successfully downsized metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) from polydisperse crystals to monodisperse nanoparticles, which is of great importance for their potential bioapplications. This strategy led to the isolation of MIL-88, CufumDMF, and ZIF-8 nanoparticles. Through extensive studies on gelothermal condition, a possible mechanism was proposed. The monodisperse MIL-88A nanoparticles demonstrated unique advantages over polydisperse ones in terms of in vitro magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), cellular uptake, and drug-carrying properties.

Summary: Highly dispersed Ni2P catalysts (Ni2P/SiO2-DPx) were prepared through the phosphidation of nickel phyllosilicate with sodium hypophosphite, resulting in a smaller Ni(2)P particle size. Compared with conventional methods, the as-prepared Ni2P/SiO2-DP catalysts exhibited superior catalytic performance in hydrodesulfurization and hydrogenation reactions. The passivation-free Ni-P/SiO2-DPx precursors showed great storage stability, and Ni2P/SiO2-DP derived from the stored precursors exhibited negligible loss of HDS activity. This method provides a potential preparation strategy for industrial applications of transition metal phosphides.

Summary: By hybridizing TiO2 photocatalyst with CaCO3 as the wall material and using linseed oil as the core material, self-cleaning and self-repairing microcapsules were produced using in-situ precipitation. The microcapsules were evaluated for their morphology, chemical composition, thermal stability, and self-cleaning and self-repairing properties. Results showed that the microcapsules had a rough and spherical surface, along with excellent thermal stability and repeatability. Increasing the dosage of microcapsules significantly increased the degradation rate of methylene blue, while the self-repairing effect of micro-cracks became more evident. The optimal microcapsule dosage was found to be 7.0 wt%.
