The porous metal-organic frameworks, MIL-101, MIL-101-SOH and MIL-101-NH were used for the removal of harmful drug (rocephin) from water via adsorption. The kinetics study suggests that the adsorption onto all the MOFs follows the pseudo-second-order model. The adsorption isotherms results suggest that the adsorption onto MIL-101 and MIL-101-NH fits well with Langmuir model and the maximum adsorption capacities are calculated to 204.08 mg g and 277.78 mg g, respectively; while the adsorption onto MIL-101-SOH cannot fit well with both Langmuir and Freundlich models and the maximum adsorption capacity in the experiment is 25 mg g. Furthermore, the effect of pH as well as the adsorption mechanism was analysed systematically. It was found that electrostatic interaction as well as hydrogen-bond interaction plays dominant roles in adsorption of rocephin, and MIL-101-NH with abundant amino groups can exhibit better adsorption capacity and removal percentage towards rocephin than MIL-101, MIL-101-SOH, and some other common adsorbents. In addition, co-existed Zn(NO) can induce a large improvement of rocephin adsorption performance of MIL-101-NH. At last, MIL-101-NH demonstrates to be a renewable adsorbent. In conclusion, we suggest MIL-101-NH is a promising adsorbent for effective removal of rocephin in water.

Superhydrophobic surfaces find applications in numerous biomedical scenarios, requiring the repellence of biofluids and biomolecules. Plastron, the trapped air between a superhydrophobic surface and a wetting liquid, plays a pivotal role in biofluid repellency. A key challenge, however, is the often short-lived plastron stability in biofluids and the lack of knowledge surrounding it.

Poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) materials have been widely researched and applied as fouling-release coatings. Incorporation of silicone oils into PDMS has been shown to improve the antifouling properties of PDMS materials. In this research, we applied sum frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopy to study PDMS materials incorporated with various silicone oils containing phenyl groups in air, water, and protein solutions.

Photochemical weathering and eco-corona formation through natural organic matter (NOM) adsorption play vital roles in the aggregation tendencies of nanoplastics (NPs) in aquatic environments. However, it remains unclear how photochemical weathering alters the adsorption patterns of NOM and the conformation of the eco-corona, subsequently affecting the aggregation tendencies of NPs. This study examined the effect of Suwannee River NOM adsorption on the aggregation kinetics of pristine and photoaged polystyrene (PS) NPs in monovalent electrolyte solutions.

In this study, we demonstrate a novel and efficient fabrication methodology for nonclose-packed, two-dimensional (2D) colloidal crystals exhibiting square lattice structures. In our recent work, we detailed the formation of 2D colloidal crystals via the electrostatic adsorption of three-dimensional (3D) charged colloidal crystals onto oppositely charged substrates. These 3D colloidal crystals possessed a face-centered cubic (FCC) lattice structure with their (111) planes aligned parallel to the substrate, facilitating the formation of 2D crystals with triangular lattice arrangements upon adsorption.

A AuNSs@PB@Ag-Apt surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) probe has been developed by embedding Prussian blue (PB) between Au core and Ag shell. The PB SERS probe illustrates strong SERS activity in the Raman silent region of 2070 cm, and has a zero background signal, ensuring high sensitivity for the detection of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus).
