Porous organic frameworks (POFs), including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs), have drawn attention as ion-selective materials due to their well-defined channels and functional sites. However, their individual limitations require novel approaches to maximize their potential. In this study, a hybrid bilayer membrane combining MOFs and COFs on a nylon substrate via consecutive liquid-liquid interface polymerization is developed. This method forms robust chemical bonds between the MOF and COF layers, creating efficient ion transport channels. The integration of ZIF-8 (MOF layer), which exhibits strong electrostatic repulsion against cations, with TpPa-SOH (COF layer), offering strong cation coordination, results in a synergistic effect that significantly enhances ion separation. The ZIF-8/TpPa-SOH/nylon membrane achieved a Li/Mg separation ratio of 501, which is 400 times higher than the pristine ZIF-8 membrane and 200 times higher than the TpPa-SOH membrane. This outstanding performance is due to the combined electrostatic repulsion of the MOF layer and functional coordination of the COF layer, enabling precise ion discrimination. The membrane's structural integrity and chemical stability further contribute to its superior ion separation efficiency, making it a promising candidate for large-scale lithium extraction from salt lakes.

Phased structures for lossless ion manipulation offer significant improvements over the scanning second gate method for coupling with ion trap mass analyzers. With an experimental run time of under 1 min for select conditions and an average run time of less than 4 min, this approach significantly reduces experimental time while enhancing the temporal duty cycle. The outlined SLIM system connects to an ion trap mass analyzer via a PCB stacked ring ion guide, which replaces the commercial ion optics and capillary inlet.

The solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) strongly determines the stability and reversibility of aqueous Zn-ion batteries (AZIBs). In traditional electrolytes, the nonuniform SEI layer induced by severe parasitic reactions, such as the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), will exacerbate the side reactions on Zn anodes, thus leading to low zinc utilization ratios (ZURs). Herein, we propose to use methoxy ethylamine (MOEA) as a nucleophilic additive, which has a stronger nucleophilic characteristic than water, with the advantage of an abundance of nucleophilic atoms.

For silicon-based devices using dielectric oxides doped with rare earth ions, their electroluminescence (EL) performance relies on the sufficient carrier injection. In this work, the atomic GaO layers are inserted within the Er-doped GeO nanofilms fabricated by atomic layer deposition (ALD). Both Ga(CH) and Ga(CH) could realize the ALD growth of GaO onto the as-deposited GeO nanofilm with unaffected deposition rates.

Amino acids, as the fundamental constituents of proteins and enzymes, play a vital role in various biological processes. Amino acids such as histidine, cysteine, and methionine are known to coordinate with metal ions in proteins and enzymes, playing critical roles in their structure and function. In metalloproteins, metal ions are often coordinated by specific amino acid residues, contributing to the protein's stability and catalytic activity.
