Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with a high surface area and excellent stability are potential candidates for uranium (U) adsorption. Amidoxime (AO) is the most widely used functional group to extract U, which is usually introduced into MOFs by two-step post-synthetic methods (PSMs). Herein, MOF UiO-66-NH-(AO) was obtained by a one-step PSM with amidoximation from UiO-66-NH-(CN), which was synthesized by a new organic ligand of 2-cyano-terephthalic acid and whose morphology was octahedron and could be well controlled with the new ligand. The one-step PSM can greatly maintain the octahedron of the MOFs. What is more, UiO-66-NH-(AO) showed good adsorption performance for U, the adsorption equilibrium was obtained within 1500 min, and the adsorption capacity of U was calculated to be 134.1 mg/g according to the Langmuir model. It also had excellent selectivity for U in the presence of high concentrations of vanadium (V), ferrum (Fe), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), and zirconium (Zr). The adsorption capacity of U in natural seawater was determined to be 5.2 mg/g within 8 days. The recyclability of UiO-66-NH-(AO) in simulated seawater was demonstrated for at least four adsorption/desorption cycles. The binding mechanism was investigated by the extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy, revealing that U binding occurs in a fashion η motif. This study provides a reliable idea for the modification of MOFs and the potential for MOF-based materials to extract U from seawater.

Microswimmers are considered promising candidates for active cargo delivery to benefit a wide spectrum of biomedical applications. Yet, big challenges still remain in designing the microswimmers with effective propelling, desirable loading and adaptive releasing abilities all in one. Inspired by the morphology and biofunction of spermatozoa, we report a one-step formation strategy of polymorphous sperm-like magnetic microswimmers (PSMs) by developing a vortex turbulence-assisted microfluidics (VTAM) platform.

With the rapid development of industry and technology, high-efficiency extraction of uranium from seawater is a research hotspot from the aspect of nuclear energy development. Herein, a new amidoximated metal-organic framework (UiO-66-DAMN-AO) constructed through a novel organic ligand of 2-diaminomaleonitrile-terephthalic acid (BDC-DAMN) is designed via one-step post-synthetic methods (PSM), which possess the merit of abundant multiaffinity sites, large specific surface area, and unique porous structure for efficient uranium extraction. Adopting one-step PSM can alleviate the destruction of structural stability and the reduction of the conversion rate of amidoxime groups.

Fabricating functional electrospun nanofiber coating for highly selective extraction of microcystin-LR (MC-LR) was of significant importance for water-safety monitoring. Herein, a novel MOF@aptamer functionalized nanofabric was presented via a facile and reliable strategy integrating polydopamine (PDA) mediation and thiol-ene chemistry and applied for specific recognition of the MC-LR model analyte. Using polydopamine (PDA) as the mediating layer, vinyl-UiO-66 MOF was grown in situ, followed by post-synthetic modification (PSM) of Zr with vinyl phosphate and rapid UV-initiated click reaction of aptamers.

With the continuous expansion of global investment institutions, the development of the investment industry is gradually accelerating, but the risks behind the investment are also constantly increasing. Using the data of A-share companies in China's capital market from 2010 to 2019, this paper studies the impact of venture capital on corporate fraud. Empirical results show that venture capital holdings reduce the probability and frequency of corporate fraud.
