Extraction of gold from secondary resources such as electronic waste (e-waste) has become crucial in recent times to compensate for the gradual scarcity of the noble metal in natural mines. However, designing and synthesizing a suitable material for highly efficient gold recovery is still a great challenge. Herein, we have strategically designed rapid fabrication of an ionic crystalline hybrid aerogel by covalent threading of an amino-functionalized metal-organic polyhedra with an imine-linked chemically stable covalent organic framework at ambient condition. The hierarchically porous ultra-light aerogel featuring imine-rich backbone, high surface area, and cationic sites have shown fast removal, high uptake capacity (2349 mg/g), and excellent selectivity towards gold sequestration. Besides, the aerogel can extract ultra-trace gold-ions from different terrestrial water bodies, aiming towards safe drinking water. This study demonstrates the great potential of the composite materials based on a novel approach to designing a hybrid porous material for efficient gold recovery from complex water matrices.

Rapid evolution of smart devices necessitates high-performance, lightweight materials for effective electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. TiCT MXene nanosheets are promising for such applications, yet the high solid content typically required for 3D-printable MXene inks limits their scalability and cost efficiency. In this study, we present an MXene-based ink with an ultralow solid content (0.

The demand for sustainable packaging materials is rapidly increasing due to growing environmental concerns over the impact of plastic waste. In this study, biodegradable, porous, lightweight, and high-surface-area microcrystalline cellulose-starch (MCC-S) hybrid aerogels were synthesized via supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO) drying. The samples were generated using five different MCC-S weight ratios and characterized for their morphology, crystallinity, and structural and thermal properties.

Given the limitations of single-function electromagnetic wave-absorbing materials (EWAMs) in meeting the evolving demands of complex usage scenarios, there is a growing need for structure-function integrated composites that offer a combination of microwave absorption, human monitoring, and thermal insulation. This study successfully synthesized two-dimensional (2D) TiCT MXene via selective etching of Al from the TiAlC MAX phase. By introducing MXene into a composite of hydroxylated CoFeO nanoparticles (-CFO NPs) and bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) to modulate the electromagnetic performance of the EWAMs.

Nanostructured Faradaic materials show extraordinary promise for capacitive deionization (CDI) toward the relief of global freshwater scarcity. But at present, there exist at least two shortages for the development of CDI electrode materials. In laboratory studies, evaluating their desalination performance is usually based on low mass loadings (<1 mg cm), which is far behind the practical demand for fabricating high-mass-loading CDI electrodes or devices.

Anion doping engineering is recognized as a prospective strategy to adjust the electronic configuration and transport capacity of carbon-based magnetoelectric hybrids and to optimize defects for the modulation of electromagnetic (EM) properties. This study effectively accomplishes an overwhelming enhancement in the dielectric coupling between conduction and polarization for the CuCo bimetallic/carbon system by employing in situ (N, O)/ex situ (S, Se) doping and defect modulation strategies. The well-designed lattice distortions are facilitated by the large atomic radii (Se) intercalated carbon skeleton and the bimetallic CuCo, which activate the reinforcement of the dipole polarization in the high-frequency region.
