Article Synopsis
  • Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have potential for creating high-quality separation membranes but face challenges in gas separation due to larger pore sizes.
  • The study introduces a novel method by embedding the metal-organic framework (MOF) ZIF-8 within TB-COF to enhance gas separation properties.
  • The resulting ZIF-8@TB-COF membrane achieves significantly increased hydrogen selectivity for separating gas mixtures compared to traditional COF membranes, demonstrating the effectiveness of this new synthesis approach.

Two-dimensional (2D) materials with high chemical stability have attracted intensive interest in membrane design for the separation of organic solvents. As a novel 2D material, polymeric fullerenes (C) with distinctive properties are very promising for the development of innovative membranes. In this work, we report the construction of a 2D (C) nanosheet membrane for organic solvent separation.

The osmotic energy between riverine water and seawater can be converted into electricity by reverse electrodialysis (RED). However, the facile fabrication of advanced RED membranes with high energy conversion efficiencies, large areas, and excellent mechanical properties remains a challenge. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) exhibit excellent conductivity and provide suitable channels for ion transport but cannot form membranes independently, which limits the related applications in osmotic energy conversion.

To attain carbon neutrality and carbon peaking, there is an urgent need to convert the vast amount of blue energy present between seawater and river water into usable electricity. Reverse electrodialysis based on ion-exchange membranes is a promising way to efficiently achieve osmotic energy conversion. Anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membranes are frequently used for osmotic energy harvesting because of their uniform nanopore channels, high flux, and excellent stability.

With the speedy progress in the research of nanomaterials, self-assembly technology has captured the high-profile interest of researchers because of its simplicity and ease of spontaneous formation of a stable ordered aggregation system. The self-assembly of block copolymers can be precisely regulated at the nanoscale to overcome the physical limits of conventional processing techniques. This bottom-up assembly strategy is simple, easy to control, and associated with high density and high order, which is of great significance for mass transportation through membrane materials.

Ion-selective membrane is the key component for osmotic energy conversion. Nanofluid channels based on two-dimensional materials have advantages of facile preparation, tunable channel size, and easy upscaling, which is promising for efficient osmotic energy harvesting. However, further improvement of the output power is hindered by the low ion sensitivity for the limited charge density.

Background: Previous study had demonstrated that sestrin2 (Sesn2) expression was increased in human failing heart. Although, the circulating Sesn2 concentrations in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) remains unknown. This study investigated plasma Sesn2 concentrations in patients with CHF and the role between Sesn2 and the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events.
