Summary: The development of efficient adsorbents with anti-biofouling properties for uranium extraction from seawater is highly attractive. Inspired by the structures of phospholipid, the bio-inspired zwitterionic phosphate groups were created onto the electrospun nanofibers to manipulate the affinity with uranium and the anti-biofouling property. The constructed hyperbranched zwitterionic phosphate groups functionalized nanofiber adsorbents (ZP-PAN fibers) exhibited high distribution coefficient k(d) (7.38 x 10(6) mL/g) and large adsorption capacity (1294.0 mg g(-1)) in the uranium-spiked seawater, surpassing most of reported polymeric adsorbents.

Summary: The current energy shortage is concerning and nuclear energy is crucial for the energy transition. Uranium, an important resource for the nuclear industry, is abundant in seawater. However, extracting uranium from seawater efficiently is challenging due to low uranium concentrations and biofouling. In this study, a 2D-perylene diimide-polyethyleneimine (PDI-PEI) photocatalyst was successfully synthesized to enhance uranium extraction. The photocatalyst creates an electric field on its surface, attracting and adsorbing uranium from seawater. It also has antibacterial activity and hydrophilicity, making it a versatile method for uranium adsorption.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the unsatisfactory histologically complete resection (CR) rate of small rectal neuroendocrine tumors (RNETs) and its associated risk factors and clinical outcomes. The study found that polypectomy, a central depression, and treatment in the early period were risk factors for incomplete resection (IR). Further analysis revealed that an atypical hyperemic appearance and treatment in the early period were significant predisposing factors for inappropriate choice of polypectomy.

Summary: The majority of COFs synthesized using current methods are insoluble powders, which limits their practical applications. We have developed a solvothermal-treated unit exchange approach to convert insoluble COF powders into smaller, highly soluble COFs via a hydrogen bond-assisted strategy. The obtained soluble COFs exhibit remarkable fluorescence quenching upon detection of iodine in aqueous solution and can be used for the efficient treatment of iodine-contaminated solutions.

Summary: This study fabricated an oxygen-modulated metal nitride cluster (C-MoNx-O) as an electrocatalyst for lithium-sulfur batteries, which showed a high discharge capacity of 875 mAh g(-1) at 0.5 C and a low capacity decay rate of 0.10% after 280 cycles. The C-MoNx-O electrocatalyst effectively immobilized and catalyzed the solid-solid conversion of Li2S2-Li2S, promoting reaction kinetics and eliminating the shuttle effect. This research provides innovative structures and reversible solid-solid conversions to overcome the sluggish redox chemistry of polysulfides.

Summary: The use of machine learning to predict the performance of specific adsorbents in phosphate adsorption shows great promise in saving time and revealing underlying mechanisms. However, the small size of the dataset and insufficient detailed information limits the model training process and the accuracy of results. To address this, the study employs a fuzzing strategy that replaces detailed numeric information with descriptive text messages on the physiochemical properties of adsorbents. This strategy allows the recovery of discarded samples with limited information, leading to accurate prediction of adsorption amount, capacity, and kinetics. The study also finds that phosphate uptake by adsorbents is generally through physisorption, with some involvement of chemisorption. The framework established in this study provides a practical approach for quickly predicting phosphate adsorption performance in urgent scenarios, using easily accessible information.
