Dual-template synthesis of SFO-type aluminophosphate with enhanced water-sorption-driven cooling performance.

Water-based adsorption chillers (ADC) driven by low-grade thermal energy are environment-friendly alternatives to the traditional compression ones to realize the net zero carbon target. Aluminophosphates molecular sieve (AlPOs) is an excellent material for water-based adsorption applications. However, AlPOs suffers from relatively high cost attributed to the extensive use of expensive structure direct agents (SDAs).

Ultralow-temperature-driven water-based sorption refrigeration enabled by low-cost zeolite-like porous aluminophosphate.

Thermally driven water-based sorption refrigeration is considered a promising strategy to realize near-zero-carbon cooling applications by addressing the urgent global climate challenge caused by conventional chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) refrigerants. However, developing cost-effective and high-performance water-sorption porous materials driven by low-temperature thermal energy is still a significant challenge. Here, we propose a zeolite-like aluminophosphate with SFO topology (EMM-8) for water-sorption-driven refrigeration.

Screening of metal-organic frameworks for water adsorption heat transformation using structure-property relationships.

It is of great importance to correlate the water adsorption performance of MOFs to their physicochemical features in order to design and prepare MOFs for applications in adsorption heat transformation. In this work, both data analysis from existing studies and Grand Canonical Monte Carlo molecular simulation investigations were carried out. The results indicated that the highest water adsorption capacity was determined by the pore volume of MOF adsorbents, while there was a linear correlation interrelationship between isosteric heats of adsorption and the water adsorption performance at a low relative pressure.

Upregulation of CASC2 sensitized glioma to temozolomide cytotoxicity through autophagy inhibition by sponging miR-193a-5p and regulating mTOR expression.

Objective: Numerous studies suggested autophagy was involved in temozolomide (TMZ) resistance in glioma. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) CASC2 was shown to be downregulated in glioma tissues and cell lines, and was related to the TMZ resistance. However, whether CASC2 affects TMZ resistance through regulating autophagy is unknown.
