This study developed a modified polyacrylonitrile (PAN) membrane controlled by a phenol–amine network and enhanced with a sulfonated covalent organic framework (SCOF), aimed at improving the efficiency of textile wastewater treatment.

The future directions of photocatalytic degradation of micropollutants (pharmaceuticals, dyes, pesticides, etc.) and its role in green fuel production from wastewater are discussed with several examples of modern photocatalysts.

Driving towards sustainable energy solutions: harnessing metal–organic framework/graphene oxide composites to propel high-efficiency smart supercapacitors.

Climate change is causing a rise in the need to transition from fossil fuels to renewable and clean energy such as hydrogen as a sustainable energy source.

This study investigates the electrocatalytic water splitting capabilities of hexamethylene tetra-amine-linked NiCo-MOF, synthesized via hydrothermal approach. It reveals low overpotentials of 274 mV and 330 mV with Tafel slopes of 78 mV dec⁻¹ and 86 mV dec⁻¹ towards HER and OER respectively.

C, Ta-co-doped ZnO nanoparticles (E_g = 2.88 eV), prepared by hydrothermal method, were used as a photocatalyst under visible light to remove organic contaminants in aquatic environments.

Most MOFs for controllable cancer treatment act as drug delivery vehicle and/or anti-cancer agent. Molecules with anti-cancer roles such as chemotherapies, gases, peptides or nucleic acids can be loaded into MOFs that decompose in cancer cells or in the TME to release its cargoes.

A defect-healed layered precursor of FER-type zeolite exhibited enhanced iron atom insertion in more homogeneous environments.

Detailed antibacterial mechanism using by synthesized β-NaFeO₂.

BN-3 with 33% N defects has the biggest adsorption rate and the adsorption capacity of 302.15 mg g⁻¹ for TC due to the decreased the absorption energy and the dominated chemisorption.

CAU-17 was in situ grown on carboxymethylated cotton fabric by ultrasonication and exhibited favorable photocatalytic degradation ability.

The introduction of small quantities of inorganic salts in dolomite causes its half-decomposition at 723–873 K due to the heterovalent doping effect and allows for the production of porous HCDs consisting of magnesian calcite and MgO nanoparticles.

MOFs are emerging photocatalysts designed by tuning organic ligands and metal centers for optimal efficiency.

In this study, an in situ synthesis approach is employed for the co-doping of an NS ligand into PCN-600. The resulting PCN-600-NS is explored for the photocatalytic degradation of the antibiotic metronidazole (MTZ).

With the coming era of artificial intelligence (AI) dominated by high-tech electronics, developing high-performance microwave absorption materials (MAMs) is imperative to solve the problem of increasing electromagnetic inference and pollution.

The syntheses of poly(diallylammonium chloride) (3) and its copolymers (8a–c) containing hydrophilic/hydrophobic pendants and their role in mitigating mild steel corrosion in aggressive 20% HCOOH is not frequently discussed in the literature.

Carcinoembryonic antigens (CEAs) are prominent cancer biomarkers that enable the early detection of numerous cancers.

The growing apprehension surrounding heavy metal pollution in both environmental and industrial contexts has spurred extensive research into adsorption materials aimed at efficient remediation.

Two novel metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), synthesized from 4,6-diamino-2-pyrimidinethiol with Zn and Co metal ions, display antibacterial, antibiofilm, and antioxidant properties, serving multifunctionality in biological and environmental domains.

Efficient elimination of Lead (Pb(II)) from aqueous solutions has become a crucial area of focus in the wastewater treatment industry.

This study demonstrates that a nanoporous glass can be decorated with Au nanoparticles using an alkali impregnation method. The resulting composite exhibits high catalytic activity in CO oxidation.

A model, so called quasi-static growth model, based on the sequential addition of (sub-)monolayers in the stable surface directions has been proposed. Thus, a sequence of different Wulff shapes results in the growth process with a certain barrier.

This work examines the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) activity of non-edible oils using a high surface area catalyst.

Catalytic performances, structure-activity relationships of metal oxide-based and zeolite-based all-inorganic solid base catalytic materials and their major applications in non-refinery and refinery fields.

Flower-like Mg(OH)₂ was fabricated without using structure-directing molecules, achieving remarkable efficiency in adsorbing Pb(II) ions from water. Acid dissolution-electrolysis enables the recycling of adsorbed Pb(II) to obtain metallic lead.
