Polymer dielectric materials are widely used in electrical and electronic systems, and there have been increasing demands on their dielectric properties at high temperatures. Incorporating inorganic nanoparticles into polymers is an effective approach to improving their dielectric properties. However, the agglomeration of inorganic nanoparticles and the destabilization of the organic-inorganic interface at high temperatures have limited the development of nanocomposites toward large-scale industrial production.

The removal of heavy metal ions, such as lead (Pb2+), from aqueous systems is critical due to their high toxicity and bioaccumulation in living organisms. This study presents a straightforward approach for the synthesis and surface modification of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) for the magnetic removal of Pb2+ ions. IONPs were produced via electrosynthesis at varying voltages (10-40 V), with optimal magnetic properties achieved at 40 V resulting in highly crystalline and magnetic IONPs in the gamma-maghemite (γ-Fe2O3) phase.

Bioreceptors are increasingly popular for selective aroma sensing but face challenges with receptor separation and cell culture. Here, we developed a bioreceptor-free electronic nose employing Mn-metal organic framework (Mn-MOF) nanonets as sensing materials for rapid electrochemical quantification of (E)-2-hexenal, a characteristic aroma commonly found in various foods. A simple solvent-mediated morphology engineering technology was proposed to create Mn-MOF structures, including nanoparticles, nanowires, and nanonets.
