Herein, nanoneedle-constructed WO3 flowers are prepared by hydrothermal synthesis, which are characterized by a large surface area leading to abundant active sites. Additionally, P doping is employed as an effective way to generate charge imbalance and induce more empty d-orbitals around W6+, thus facilitating the adsorption of N2 molecules. Moreover, a flexible TiO2 nanofibrous membrane is used as an electrocatalytically active matrix to fix the P-doped, nanoneedle-constructed WO3 flowers. The hierarchically structured P-WO3@TiO2 nanofibrous membrane acts as a self-supported electrocatalyst, presenting an enhanced ammonia yield (6.54 × 10-10 mol s-1 cm-2) and faradaic efficiency (17.5%) compared to the undoped counterpart.

Constructing a nanofibrous membrane with high flow rate surface pore structure and high-density ligand chemical structure is a promising strategy to balance the trade-off between high flow rates and high adsorption capacity for protein separation and purification. Herein, a nanofiber-based ion-exchange chromatography membrane with a periodic diagonal surface structure and high ionic strength ligands was fabricated using dispersion cross-linking, wet coating, and template printing with a three-wire diagonal woven mesh. For this membrane, EVOH nanofibers were used as skeleton, glutaraldehyde (GA) as cross-linking agent, and quaternized chitosan (QCS) as binder and functional ligand.

: Postoperative abdominal adhesion is a prevalent complication following abdominal surgery, with the incidence of adhesion reaching up to 90%, which may precipitate a range of adverse outcomes. Although fibrous membranes loaded with various anti-inflammatory or other drugs have been proposed for anti-adhesion, most of them suffer from drug-induced adverse effects. : In this study, a lecithin-based electrospun polylactic acid (PLA) nanofibrous membrane (L/P-NM) was developed for the prevention of postoperative abdominal adhesion, utilizing the hydration lubrication theory.

In this study, polysulfone/polyvinylpyrrolidone (PSf/PVP, 20 wt%/5 wt%)-based ultrafiltration (UF) membranes reinforced with different ratios (0.5 and 1 wt%) of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and cellulose nanofibres (CNFs) were prepared by the phase inversion method. The effect of CNC, CNF, and CNC-CNF reinforcement on the morphology, roughness, crystallinity, porosity, average pore size, mechanical properties, and filtration performance of PSf/PVP-based membrane was investigated.

Facemask materials have been under constant development to optimize filtration performance, wear comfort, and general resilience to chemical and mechanical stress. While single-use polypropylene meltblown membranes are the established go-to material for high-performing mask filters, they are neither sustainable nor particularly resistant to sterilization methods. Herein an in-depth analysis is provided of the sterilization efficiency, filtration efficiency, and breathing resistance of selected aerosol filters commonly implemented in facemasks, with a particular focus on the benefits of nanofibrous filters.
