The structural diversity and chemical functionality of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) render them promising candidates for CO adsorption and separation. However, their applications are often restricted by their intrinsic fragility and decreased processability. Herein, a hierarchical fibrous MOF/ionic liquid (IL) membrane was constructed by assembling well-ordered ZIF-8 nanounits with an encapsulated IL along the polyimide (PI) fibers. This design promotes the formation of an efficient three-dimensional gas transfer network and generates an abundance of nanopores decorated with CO-philic units, thereby enhancing the separation of CO from N. The hierarchical fibrous PI/ZIF-8/IL membranes exhibit remarkable structural features, including a large specific surface area of 79.89 m g, a high porosity of 93.28%, and excellent mechanical stability. Moreover, the PI/ZIF-8/IL membranes demonstrate an enhanced CO adsorption capacity of 3.32 mmol/g at 298 K and 1 bar, an excellent CO/N selectivity of 28, and a stable recyclable regeneration capability. The integrated hierarchical pore structure proposed in this study provides a practical direction for the rational design of MOF/IL membranes for targeted gas separation applications.

A facile and low-cost synthesis method for carbon nanomaterials using an organic molecule perylene tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) as a precursor is presented. The resulting products exhibit a combination of floccular and fibrous morphologies, along with a low-crystallinity graphitic nanostructure characteristic of hard carbon. The synthesis is carried out by using a low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (CVD) system, during which the pressure changes in the CVD chamber are continuously monitored.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), known for their high surface area, adjustable pore structure, and ease of functional modification, have attracted considerable interest for carbon dioxide (CO) capture. Nevertheless, their practical use is hindered by their powdered form, which results in limited mechanical strength and a reduced gas transport performance. In this study, an effective approach is presented for developing three-dimensional UiO-66-NH/polyacrylonitrile (PAN) interconnected networks to serve as efficient gas transport pathways, thereby enhancing CO adsorption capabilities.

High-grade sarcomas often lack typical morphological features and exhibit no clear differentiation, often leading to a diagnosis of undifferentiated sarcoma (US). Pleomorphic leiomyosarcoma (PLMS) is a high-grade sarcoma consisting of a typical leiomyosarcoma (LMS) component alongside dedifferentiated high-grade areas. A few decades ago, PLMS was regarded as a subtype of high-grade sarcoma previously referred to as malignant fibrous histiocytoma; it is now classified as a variant of LMS.

Extreme cold weather seriously harms human thermoregulatory system, necessitating high-performance insulating garments to maintain body temperature. However, as the core insulating layer, advanced fibrous materials always struggle to balance mechanical properties and thermal insulation, resulting in their inability to meet the demands for both washing resistance and personal protection. Herein, inspired by the natural spring-like structures of cucumber tendrils, a superelastic and washable micro/nanofibrous sponge (MNFS) based on biomimetic helical fibers is directly prepared utilizing multiple-jet electrospinning technology for high-performance thermal insulation.

Efficient separation of water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions is essential for wastewater treatment, yet conventional electrospun membranes often suffer from poor mechanical properties, large inter-fiber pores and structural instability. Here, we propose a coaxial electrospinning strategy that combines a PVDF/CNC core with a PDMS shell to construct a hierarchical superhydrophobic membrane. The incorporation of CNC induces nonsolvent-driven microphase separation during electrospinning, generating spindle- and nanosphere-like surface structures while reinforcing the fibrous network.
