Mixed matrix membranes (MMM) incorporating metal-organic framework (MOF) fillers have gained increasing attention in addressing environmental and sustainability challenges. Hierarchical materials combining pore sizes of different length scales are expected to facilitate molecular diffusion mass transfer for the optimization catalysis separation processes. Herein, a novel preparation method hier...

Abstract Suppression of tumor development by inducing ferroptosis may provide a potential remedy for triple-negative breast cancer, which is sensitive to intracellular oxidative imbalance. Recently, artemisinin (ART) and its derivatives have been investigated as anticancer agents the treatment highly aggressive cancers via induction iron-mediated cleavage endoperoxide bridge. Owing poor water s...

The development of membranes for nanofiltration applications requires not only selective layers but also suitable supports to control their synthesis as well enable efficient and competitive membrane performances. Single-walled carbon nanotube free-standing films (denoted buckypaper) have been used the preparation polyamide (PA) by interfacial polymerization (IP) tested dead-end dyes removal (2...

A BiNPs@NPCGS nanocomposite was designed for highly efficient detection of multiple heavy-metal ions by in situ synthesis of bismuth-nanoparticle (BiNP)-enriched nanoporous carbon (NPS) on graphene sheet (GS). The NPCGS was prepared by pyrolysis of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) nanocrystals deposited on graphene oxide and displayed a high surface area of 1251 m(2)  g(-1) and a pore s...

With their strong confining porosity and versatile surface 2 chemistry, Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks-including the 3 prototypical ZIF-8-display exceptional properties for vari-4 ous applications. In particular, forced intrusion of water 5 at high pressure (∼ 25 MPa) into ZIF-8 nanopores is in-6 terest energy storage. Such a system reveals also ideal to 7 study experimentally dynamics thermod...
