The primary challenges impeding the extensive application of adsorption for indoor air purification have been low efficiency and effective capacity. To fill the research gap, we developed carbonaceous net-like adsorption films featuring multi-scale porous structures for efficient indoor formaldehyde removal. By optimizing the interfacial mass transfer and internal diffusion, we designed macro- to mesoscale meshes on the film surface and micro- to nano-scale pores within the materials, which were achieved by direct-ink-writing (DIW) printing and sacrificial template methods, respectively.

The burden of disease and death attributable to environmental pollution is a growing public health challenge worldwide, particularly in developing countries. While the adverse effects of environmental pollution on oral health have garnered increasing attention, a comprehensive and systematic assessment remains lacking. This article delves into the intricate relationship between environmental pollution and oral health, highlighting significant impacts on various aspects such as dental caries, periodontal diseases, oral facial clefts, cancer, as well as other oral diseases.

A novel fluorescence sensing nanoplatform (CDs/AuNCs@ZIF-8) encapsulating carbon dots (CDs) and gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) within a zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) was developed for ratiometric detection of formaldehyde (FA) in the medium of hydroxylamine hydrochloride (NHOH·HCl). The nanoplatform exhibited pink fluorescence due to the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect of AuNCs and the internal filtration effect (IFE) between AuNCs and CDs. Upon reaction between NHOH·HCl and FA, a Schiff base formed via aldehyde-diamine condensation, releasing hydrochloric acid.

This study describes the process of developing a high-impact, low-cost, and low-maintenance air ventilation system for anatomy facilities. It employed the strategic application of Value Engineering (VE), assuring that the air ventilation system meets contemporary threshold limit values (TLVs) for formaldehyde in the working zone of dissection tables. A creative-innovative construction methodology was used, combining the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ/TIPS) and VE for an anatomy laboratory air ventilation concept.

Modulating the electronic structure of noble metals via electronic metal-support interaction (EMSI) has been proven effectively for facilitating molecular oxygen activation and catalytic oxidation reactions. Nevertheless, the investigation of the fundamental mechanisms underlying activity enhancement has primarily focused on metal oxides as supports, especially in the catalytic degradation of volatile organic compounds. In this study, a novel Pt catalyst supported on nitrogen-doped carbon encapsulating FeNi alloy, featuring ultrafine Pt nanoparticles, was synthesized.
