Ultraefficiently Calming Cytokine Storm Using TiCT MXene.

During the global outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, "cytokine storm" conditions are regarded as the fatal step resulting in most mortality. Hemoperfusion is widely used to remove cytokines from the blood of severely ill patients to prevent uncontrolled inflammation induced by a cytokine storm. This article discoveres, for the first time, that 2D TiCT MXene sheet demonstrates an ultrahigh removal capability for typical cytokine interleukin-6.

Removal of extremely low concentration cobalt by intercalation composite material of carbon nitride/titanium dioxide.

Due to the high toxicity and the great harm of radioactive cobalt to the human body and the environment, the removal of heavy metal cobalt ions from radioactive wastewater had attracted more and more scientific researchers. In this paper, the intercalation composite material of carbon nitride itanium dioxide (g-CN/TiO) composite material which combined the advantages of the two materials was prepared and its actual effect of removing Co (Ⅱ) from wastewater was evaluated. Batch experimental method was employed for the investigation of the impact of solution pH during adsorption, adsorption kinetics, adsorption thermodynamics and adsorption isotherms.
