Article Abstract
The incorporation of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) towards the removal of organic pollutants has triggered increasing research over the past decade. This study investigated the impact of binary metal sites (Fe:M, where M = Co, Cd, Cu, Mn, Mg, Ni, and In) and secondary organic ligands (malonic acid, cinnamaldehyde, pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid, 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde, and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid) on the MIL-88A material. For the first time, a flexible 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde-In/Fe-MOF was used for the adsorption of tetracycline hydrochloride. Importantly, the adsorption was hinged on (i) the pore-filling effect of the MIL-88A mesoporous configuration and (ii) the chemical interactions (hydrogen bonding, electrostatic attraction, and pi-pi interactions) that were both enhanced by the In metal centers and the 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde ligand. TCH adsorption stood at 97.88 %, with an adsorption capacity of 475.42 mg/g (towards 300 mg/L TCH) despite its low BET surface area of 15.48 m/g. Notably, a wide adsorption working range was observed from pH = 2 (81.70 %, 490.21 mg/g) to even pH = 11 (93.35 %, 560.09 mg/g). Also, the kinetic studies correlated with both pseudo-second-order and pseudo-first-order fittings. Fe:In(25:75)-5 %-dhba had favorable adsorption even after five cycles. This work presents an outstanding MOF needed for the effective elimination of organic water pollutants.

Pd-zeolites are promising passive NO adsorber (PNA) materials for mitigating cold-start emissions from lean-burn engines. However, their practical deployment is constrained by insufficient densities and dispersion of isolated Pd active sites as well as their susceptibility to hydrothermal degradation and phosphorus poisoning encountered in vehicle exhaust environments. Herein, we develop a rationally engineered core-shell Pd/SSZ-13@AlO composite, featuring a Pd/SSZ-13 core encapsulated within a mesoporous AlO shell.

Solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) are being extensively researched as replacements for liquid electrolytes in future batteries. Despite significant advancements, there are still challenges in using SSEs, particularly in extreme conditions. This study presents a hydrated metal-organic ionic cocrystal (HMIC) solid-state ion conductor with a solvent-assisted ion transport mechanism suitable for extreme operating conditions.

The development of high-performance, cost-effective non-noble metal catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is critical to advancing sustainable hydrogen production via water electrolysis. Herein, we report a facile and mild strategy for synthesizing amorphous bimetallic organic framework materials (NiFe-MOFs) using pyridine-modified threonine (l-PyThr) as an organic ligand. The optimized NiFe-PyThr-4:1 catalyst exhibits remarkable OER activity, requiring low overpotentials of only 162 and 222 mV to achieve current densities of 10 and 100 mA cm, respectively, along with a small Tafel slope of 34.

With the rapid development of the nuclear medicine business worldwide, the removal of iodine-131 from specific contaminated environments to protect public health has important application prospects. In this study, the surface decontamination mechanism of Ce(IV)/HNO3 as a decontaminant for iodine-131-contaminated nonmetallic materials was investigated by using an orthogonal experimental method and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). During the preparation experiments with the contaminated materials, both quartz glass and ceramics reached peak activity concentration levels at 4 h of adsorption (contamination) by using immersion; the decontamination factor (DF) was selected as the test index for the decontamination experiments.

Introduction: Psychotropic drug intoxication may require urgent management. Hemoadsorption (HA) may detoxify blood in such cases, but its effect has not been quantified.
Methods: We studied in-vivo removal of valproate, quetiapine and escitalopram with HA using the Jafron HA 380 cartridge in six sheep.
