Article Abstract
Porous aromatic frameworks (PAFs) were first reported in 2009 and have quickly attracted much attention because of their exceptionally ultrahigh specific surface area (5800 m·g). Uniquely, PAFs are constructed from carbon-carbon-bond-linked aromatic-based building units, which render PAFs extremely stable in various environments. At present, PAFs have been applied in many fields, such as adsorption, catalysis, ion exchange, electrochemistry, and so on. However, for such a unique material, its application in the biological fields is still rarely explored. Therefore, this Perspective introduces the reported application of PAFs in biological fields, for instance, diagnosis and treatment of diseases, artificial enzymes, drug delivery, and extraction of bioactive substances. Major challenges and opportunities for future research on PAFs in biology and biomedicine are identified in diagnostic platforms, novel drug carriers/antidotes, and novel artificial enzymes.

Porous organic cages (POCs) have emerged as promising porous materials for a wide range of applications. However, their development is often limited by insufficient chemical stability and challenges in systematically functionalization. Herein, we reported the design and synthesis of a tetrazine-based POC (TC1) featuring rigid tetrahedral structure, prepared via a one-pot nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction.

Fragrances are indispensable additives in consumer products including foods, cosmetics, and tobacco products. However, their inherent instability leads to rapid quality degradation and performance loss, driving the urgent need for controlled-release systems to stabilize fragrance performance. In this work, cellulose nanofibers (CNF) were used to prepare CNF aerogel-like gels (CA) and carbonized CNF aerogels (C-CA) through freeze-drying and high-temperature carbonization.

Industrial separation processes account for 10-15% of global energy consumption. Membrane-based processes are less energy-intensive than traditional gas separation technologies; however, enhanced material separation performance and stability for numerous gas mixtures are needed for widespread industrial adoption. This work presents a generalizable strategy for preparing mixed-matrix gas separation membranes exceeding the performance upper bounds of existing polymer membranes for a wide variety of industrial gases.

This study introduces an innovative strategy for active, biodegradable food packaging through the incorporation of gamma-decalactone (GDL), a natural aromatic compound with antimicrobial properties, into apple-pectin-based edible films. The addition of GDL significantly modified the film structure, resulting in enhanced light barrier properties (the opacity increased from 1.10 to 8.

Asphaltenes are known to cause high density and viscosity in heavy crude oil. The gene for thiol peroxidase was found to be present in five members of the nine-membered bacterial consortium able to biotransform about 75% of asphaltenes. Here, we report cloning, expression, purification, and detailed characterization of a thiol peroxidase enzyme from one of the consortium members, sp.
