Summary: Certain types of face masks, including P-masks produced using a facile spray-pressing technique, have shown high efficiency in protecting humans from bacterial and viral pathogens. However, the shift from reusable to disposable masks has led to various problems related to personnel comfort, fabrication cost, medical waste generation, and environmental contaminants. Integrating the spray-pressing technique into the automatic mask production process can address these issues and enhance the masks' self-cleaning and self-sterilizing properties under solar irradiation.

Summary: This study reports on the exceptional adsorption properties of Al(III)-based MOFs such as DUT-5 and MOF-303 for diclofenac sodium (DCF) remediation. Both MOFs exhibited high chemical stability and a maximum adsorption capacity of 334.89 and 103.36 mg g-1, respectively. The adsorption mechanisms were proposed to involve physicochemical forces such as metal & pi;, & pi;-& pi; stacking, and electrostatic interaction.

Summary: Atmospheric water harvesting using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is a promising technology for providing clean and long-term water supply in arid areas. In-situ positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) has been utilized to understand the water sorption mechanism in MOFs and select suitable candidates for desired applications. This study investigated the DUT-67-Zr and DUT-67-Hf frameworks using PALS, revealing the stepwise pore filling mechanism of water molecules in MOFs and offering insights for the design and use of MOFs for water harvesting.

Summary: Studies on the combined use of biochar and compost in polluted soil showed that the adsorption capacity of amended soils increased with the amount of additives. Biochar and compost demonstrated different adsorption mechanisms, with pore filling and hydrophobic partitioning being the main mechanisms, respectively. In terms of organic pollutant sorption and desorption, compost was found to be more effective than biochar in degraded soil environments.

Summary: In this study, the adsorption and desorption behaviors of pydiflumetofen in different arable soils were investigated using infrared spectroscopy and batch equilibrium method. The results showed that the adsorption capacity of pydiflumetofen was positively correlated with soil organic matter and organic carbon content. Both high and low temperatures and the addition of certain chemicals affected the sorption property of the soil. Pydiflumetofen was found to be weakly mobile and leachable in most soils, posing a certain threat to surface soil and water organisms but not contaminating groundwater.

Summary: This study compared the sorption-desorption characteristics of epiandrosterone (EADR) and cortisol (CRL) in sewage sludge and aquatic sediment, and investigated their surface and molecular interactions. The results showed that the sorption capacities were higher in the sludge than in the sediment, and a smaller proportion of steroids could be desorbed from the sludge compared to the sediment. The organic content in the sludge and mineral content in the sediment might contribute to these differences.

Summary: Doped carbon materials, especially F-doped carbon catalysts, have gained significant attention as metal-free catalysts for oxygen reduction reactions and as corrosion-resistant supports for Pt and non-Pt nanoparticles. F-doped carbon materials possess unique properties and greatly improve the activity and durability of the ORR compared to N-doped carbon materials. The high electronegativity of F-doping can efficiently modify the electronic band structure of carbon materials, favoring the ORR. This review systematically discusses the effect of F-doping/F co-doping on the electrocatalytic reduction of O2 in acidic and alkaline conditions, the stability and durability of fuel cell catalysts, and provides guidelines for working with F-doped carbons. Future research directions on F-doped carbons are also proposed to bridge the gap between laboratory-scale assessments and commercial applications.
