Development of highly-efficient ZIF-8@PDMS/PVDF nanofibrous composite membrane for phenol removal in aqueous-aqueous membrane extractive process by Jin, Meng-Yi, Lin, Yuqing, Liao, Yuan, Tan, Choon-Hong, Wang, Rong

“…The high performance was maintained for over 360 h without loss of salt rejection. These results could be attributed to the organophilic-assisted “bi-mode” transporting mechanism of ZIF-8 nanofillers in PDMS matrix, namely: (1) the solution-diffusion transport mode; (2) the pore-flow transport mode, where the synergistic effects are expected to significantly improve the phenol transfer efficiency through the membranes. …”

Single Zn atoms with acetate-anion-enabled asymmetric coordination for efficient H2O2 photosynthesis by Li, Yunxiang, Guo, Yan, Fan, Guilan, Luan, Deyan, Gu, Xiaojun, Lou, David Xiong Wen

“…Herein, we report the facile design and fabrication of polymeric carbon nitride (CN) decorated with single-Zn sites that have tailorable local coordination environments, which is enabled by utilizing different Zn salt anions. Specifically, the O atom from acetate (OAc) anion participates in the coordination of single-Zn sites on CN, forming asymmetric Zn-N3 O moiety on CN (denoted as CN/Zn-OAc), in contrast to the obtained Zn-N4 sites when sulfate (SO4 ) is adopted (CN/Zn-SO4 ). …”
