Abstract
For decades, the study of coordination polymers (CPs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has been limited primarily to their behavior as crystalline solids. In recent years, there has been increasing evidence that they can undergo reversible crystal-to-liquid transitions. However, their "liquid" states have primarily been considered intermediate states, and their diverse properties and applications of the liquid itself have been overlooked. As we learn from organic polymers, ceramics, and metals, understanding the structures and properties of liquid states is essential for exploring new properties and functions that are not achievable in their crystalline state. This review presents state-of-the-art research on the liquid states of CPs and MOFs while discussing the fundamental concepts involved in controlling them. We consider the different types of crystal-to-liquid transitions found in CPs and MOFs while extending the interpretation toward other functional metal-organic liquids, such as metal-containing ionic liquids and porous liquids, and try to suggest the unique features of CP/MOF liquids. We highlight their potential applications and present an outlook for future opportunities.

Abstract
The development of highly active, reusable catalysts for aqueous-phase reactions is challenging. Herein, metallic nickel is encapsulated in a nitrogen-doped carbon-silica composite (SiO2@Ni@NC) as a catalyst for the selective hydrogenation of vanillin in aqueous media. The constructed catalyst achieved 99.8% vanillin conversion and 100% 4-hydroxymethyl-2-methoxyphenol selectivity at room temperature. Based on combined scanning transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Raman analyses, the satisfactory catalytic performance is attributed to the composite structure consisting of an active metal, carbon, and silica. The hydrophilic silica core promoted dispersion of the catalyst in aqueous media. Moreover, the external hydrophobic NC layer has multiple functions, including preventing oxidation or leaching of the internal metal, acting as a reducing agent to reduce the internal metal, regulating the active-site microenvironment by enriching the concentrations of H2 and organic reactants, and modifying the electronic structure of the active metal via metal-support interactions. Density functional theory calculations indicated that NC facilitates vanillin adsorption and hydrogen dissociation to promote aqueous-phase hydrogenation. This study provides an efficient strategy for constructing encapsulated Ni-based amphiphilic catalysts to upgrade biomass-derived compounds.

SMALL METHODS 2024; 8:e2201602. [PMID: 36919581 DOI: 10.1002/smtd.202201602] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2022] [Revised: 02/01/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Static repellency and pressure resistance to liquids are essential for high-performance super-omniphobic surfaces. However, these two merits appear mutually exclusive in conventional designs because of their conflicting structural demands: Static liquid repellency necessitates minimal solid-liquid contact, which in turn inevitably undercuts the surface's ability to resist liquid invasion exerted by the elevated pressure. Here, inspired by the Springtail, these two merits can be simultaneously realized by structuring surfaces at two size scales, with a micrometric reentrant structure providing static liquid repellency and a nanometric reentrant structure providing pressure resistance, which dexterously avoids the dilemma of their structural conflicts. The nanometric reentrants are densely packed on the micrometric ones, serving as "armor" that prevents liquids invasion by generating multilevel energy barriers, thus naming the surface as the armored reentrants (AR) surface. The AR surface could repel liquids with very low surface tensions, such as silicone oil (21 mN m-1), and simultaneously resist great pressure from the liquids, exemplified by enduring the impact of low-surface-tension liquids under a high weber number (>400), the highest-pressure resistance ever reported. With its scalable fabrication and enhanced performance, our design could extend the application scope of liquid-repellent surfaces toward ultimate industrial settings.

Abstract
Porous liquids (PLs), which are solvent-based systems that contain permanent porosity due to the incorporation of a solid porous host, are of significant interest for the capture of greenhouse gases, including CO2. Type 3 PLs formed by using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as the nanoporous host provide a high degree of chemical turnability for gas capture. However, pore aperture fluctuation, such as gate-opening in zeolitic imidazole framework (ZIF) MOFs, complicates the ability to keep the MOF pores available for gas adsorption. Therefore, an understanding of the solvent molecular size required to ensure exclusion from MOFs in ZIF-based Type 3 PLs is needed. Through a combined computational and experimental approach, the solvent-pore accessibility of exemplar MOF ZIF-8 was examined. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations identified that the lowest-energy solvent-ZIF interaction occurred at the pore aperture. Experimental density measurements of ZIF-8 dispersed in various-sized solvents showed that ZIF-8 adsorbed solvent molecules up to 2 Å larger than the crystallographic pore aperture. Density analysis of ZIF dispersions was further applied to a series of possible ZIF-based PLs, including ZIF-67, -69, -71(RHO), and -71(SOD), to examine the structure-property relationships governing solvent exclusion, which identified eight new ZIF-based Type 3 PL compositions. Solvent exclusion was driven by pore aperture expansion across all ZIFs, and the degree of expansion, as well as water exclusion, was influenced by ligand functionalization. Using these results, a design principle was formulated to guide the formation of future ZIF-based Type 3 PLs that ensures solvent-free pores and availability for gas adsorption.

Abstract
ConspectusThe last two decades have witnessed a tremendous development of crystalline microporous adsorbents in a wide range of applications including molecular adsorption, storage and separation, purification, as well as catalysis. The main players as porous materials that have contributed to the developments are extended molecular frameworks (e.g., metal-organic frameworks, MOFs; covalent-organic frameworks, COFs) or discrete porous molecules (e.g., metal-organic cages, MOCs; porous organic cages, POCs) thanks to the high degrees of freedom in their structural designability and tunability. To overcome the processability issue originating from their powder forms after synthesis, one main strategy is to hybridize the microporous adsorbents as pore-containing fillers with solvents or polymers as processable matrices to produce porous soft materials, such as porous liquids, gels/aerogels, and mixed-matrix membranes, depending on the form of matrix used. Nevertheless, the fabrication of "ideal" hybrid materials relies on the homogeneous distribution of the pore-containing fillers within the matrices. It is still challenging to find a versatile way to solve the aggregation issues of fillers and their insufficient interaction with the matrices, which are concerned with inhibiting the translation of the distinctive properties of microporous adsorbents into the obtained hybrid soft materials.Herein, we describe a new bottom-up approach for the fabrication of "pore-networked soft materials" based on the concept of directly interconnecting the pore-containing fillers into a continuous pore network within the matrices. The advantages of the pore-networking strategy lie in two main aspects: (i) the elimination of the need to struggle with the aggregation issue of fillers due to their overall interconnection throughout the matrices; (ii) the generation of continuous pore networks that guarantee the efficient molecular mass transfer in the materials. In this Account, we summarize our state-of-the-art progress of pore-networked soft materials based on the use of MOCs, alternatively called metal-organic polyhedra (MOPs) herein, as pore units for the pore network construction. The good solubility of MOPs in organic solvents allows them to be feasibly processed in solution, wherein the coordination of MOPs with organic linkers leads to the formation of linked MOP gels featuring not only intrinsic MOP cavities but also tunable extrinsic porosities generated between linked MOPs through the control of MOP/linker structures and network connectivity. Furthermore, the matrix of the linked MOP network, here referred to as the continuous phase with respect to the entire porous MOP network, is not limited to the solvents. We anticipate that the implementation of air, liquids, and polymers as the matrices could result in different forms of pore-networked soft materials like aerogels, foams, gels, monoliths, and membranes. For instance, we demonstrate the fabrication of linked MOP aerogel and permanently porous gel with their potential applications on selective CO2 photoreduction and gas sorption, respectively. We believe that the pore-network strategies will advance the development of porous soft materials featuring unique advantages and properties beyond the current hybrid systems.

Abstract
Heat and the work of compression/decompression are among the basic properties of thermodynamic systems. Being relevant to many industrial and natural processes, this thermomechanical energy is challenging to tune due to fundamental boundaries for simple fluids. Here via direct experimental and atomistic observations, we demonstrate, for fluids consisting of nanoporous material and a liquid, one can overcome these limitations and noticeably affect both thermal and mechanical energies of compression/decompression exploiting preferential intrusion of water from aqueous solutions into subnanometer pores. We hypothesize that this effect is due to the enthalpy of dilution manifesting itself as the aqueous solution concentrates upon the preferential intrusion of pure water into pores. We suggest this genuinely subnanoscale phenomenon can be potentially a strategy for controlling the thermomechanical energy of microporous liquids and tuning the wetting/dewetting heat of nanopores relevant to a variety of natural and technological processes spanning from biomedical applications to oil-extraction and renewable energy.

Abstract
Porous metal-organic frameworks have emerged to resolve important challenges of our modern society, such as CO2 sequestration. Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) can undergo a glass transition to form ZIF glasses; they combine the liquid handling of classical glasses with the tremendous potential for gas separation applications of ZIFs. Using millimetre-sized ZIF-62 single crystals and centimetre-sized ZIF-62 glass, we demonstrate the scalability and processability of our materials. Further, following the evolution of gas penetration into ZIF crystals and ZIF glasses by infrared microimaging techniques, we determine the diffusion coefficients and changes to the pore architecture on the ångström scale. The evolution of the material on melting and processing is observed in situ on different length scales by using a microscope-coupled heating stage and analysed microstructurally by transmission electron microscopy. Pore collapse during glass processing is further tracked by changes in the volume and density of the glasses. Mass spectrometry was utilized to investigate the crystal-to-glass transition and thermal-processing ability. The controllable tuning of the pore diameter in ZIF glass may enable liquid-processable ZIF glass membranes for challenging gas separations.

Abstract
The shape and topology of pores have significant impacts on the gas storage properties of nanoporous materials. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are ideal materials with which to tailor to the needs of specific applications, due to properties such as their tunable structure and high specific surface area. It is, therefore, particularly important to develop descriptors that accurately identify the topological features of MOF pores. In this work, a topological data analysis method was used to develop a topological descriptor, based on the pore topology, which was combined with the Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) algorithm to predict the adsorption performance of MOFs for methane/ethane/propane. The final results show that this descriptor can accurately predict the performance of MOFs, and the introduction of the topological descriptor also significantly improves the accuracy of the model, resulting in an increase of up to 17.55% in the R2 value of the model and a decrease of up to 46.1% in the RMSE, compared to commonly used models that are based on the structural descriptor. The results of this study contribute to a deeper understanding of the relationship between the performance and structure of MOFs and provide useful guidelines and strategies for the design of high-performance separation materials.

Abstract
Removal of trace impurities for natural gas purification coupled with waste gas conversion is highly desired in industry. We here report a type of porous ionic liquids (PILs) that can realize the continuous flow separation of CH4 /CO2 /H2 S and the conversion of the captured H2 S to useful products. The PILs are synthesized through a step-by-step surface modification of ionic liquids (ILs) onto UiO-66-OH nanocrystals. The introduction of free tertiary amine groups on the nanocrystal surface endows these PILs with an exceptional ability to enrich H2 S from CO2 and CH4 with impressive selectivity, while the permanent pores of UiO-66-OH act as containers to store an exceptionally higher amount of the selectively captured H2 S than the corresponding nonporous ILs. Simultaneously, the tertiary amines as dual functional moieties offer effective catalytic sites for the conversion of the H2 S stored in PILs into 3-mercaptoisobutyric acid, a key intermediate required for the synthesis of Captopril (an antihypertensive drug). Molecular dynamics, density functional theory calculations and Grand Canonical Monte Carlo simulations help understand both the mechanisms of separation and catalysis performance, confirming that the tertiary amines as well as the permanent pores in UiO-66-OH play vital roles in the whole procedure.

Abstract
Compressibility is a fundamental property of all materials. For fluids, that is, gases and liquids, compressibility forms the basis of technologies such as pneumatics and hydraulics and determines basic phenomena such as the propagation of sound and shock waves. In contrast to gases, liquids are almost incompressible. If the compressibility of liquids could be increased and controlled, new applications in hydraulics and shock absorption could result. Here, it is shown that dispersing hydrophobic porous particles into water gives aqueous suspensions with much greater compressibilities than any normal liquids such as water (specifically, up to 20 times greater over certain pressure ranges). The increased compressibility results from water molecules being forced into the hydrophobic pores of the particles under applied pressure. The degree of compression can be controlled by varying the amount of porous particles added. Also, the pressure range of compression can be reduced by adding methanol or increased by adding salt. In all cases, the liquids expand back to their original volume when the applied pressure is released. The approach shown here is simple and economical and could potentially be scaled up to give large amounts of highly compressible liquids.

Abstract
This Perspective points toward pathways to prepare porous ionic liquids using easily accessible materials, aiming for reduced environmental impact. We demonstrate that suspensions of porous solids are stable in eutectic mixtures, underscoring their potential for the preparation of porous ionic liquids. Porous ionic liquids retain the wide electrochemical window observed in their precursor pure ionic liquids, rendering them well-suited for green electrochemical reactions, particularly those involving gases whose solubility is enhanced in the porous suspensions. Moreover, their capacity as gas-rich media points to sustainable biomedical and pharmaceutical applications, provided nontoxic, biocompatible ionic liquids and porous solids are utilized.

Abstract
The limited active sites and poor acid-alkaline solution stability of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), significantly limit their wider application. In this study, the acid property of tannic acid (TA) was used as an etchant to etch the surface-active sites. Subsequently, the further chelation of the protonated TA with the exposed metal active site can effectively protect the metal ions. Meanwhile, the TA provided a large amount of phenolic hydroxyl groups, which can greatly improve the stability of imidazolate-coordinated MOFs. The electrochemical test results indicated that the MOFs composite materials synthesized using this scheme had high specific capacitance and stability. And the mechanism of its electrochemical reaction process was explored through in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) and theoretical calculations. In addition, the same treatment was carried out through a series of carboxyl-coordinated MOFs, which further confirmed the principle of this scheme to obtain a higher active site and stability. This paper explains the mechanism of functionalization of nano-MOFs by polyphenolic compounds, providing new ideas for the research of nano-MOFs.

Abstract
Capturing and converting CO2 through artificial photosynthesis using photoactive, porous materials is a promising approach for addressing increasing CO2 concentrations. Porphyrinic Zr-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are of particular interest as they incorporate a photosensitizer in the porous structure. Herein, the initial step of the artificial photosynthesis is studied: CO2 sorption and activation in the presence of water. A combined vibrational and visible spectroscopic approach was used to monitor the adsorption of CO2 into PCN-222 and PCN-223 MOFs, and the photophysical changes of the porphyrinic linker as a function of water concentration. A shift in CO2 sorption site and bending of the porphyrin macrocycle in response to humidity was observed, and CO2/H2O competition experiments revealed that the exchange of CO2 with H2O is pore-size dependent. Therefore, humidity and pore-size can be used to tune CO2 sorption, CO2 capacity, and light harvesting in porphyrinic MOFs, which are key factors for CO2 photoreduction.

Abstract
Permanent macropores (>50 nm) had not been reported in the liquid state until a recent report by Tao Li and co-workers describing a synthetic strategy to form a porous liquid with dual micro-macroporosity. This is prepared by producing hierarchically porous particles that are surface coated and fluidised by dispersion. Surface micropores enable permanent porosity by steric exclusion of the fluid phase. The material has a considerable water uptake capacity (27 % w/w) due to large (480 nm) unoccupied macropores. This also enables switching of thermal conductivity on uptake of water. These are new properties translated from porous solids to the liquid state.

Abstract
Aqueous dispersions of microporous nanocrystals with dry, gas-accessible pores─referred to as "microporous water"─enable high densities of gas molecules to be transported through water. For many applications of microporous water, generalizable strategies are required to functionalize the external surface of microporous particles to control their dispersibility, stability, and interactions with other solution-phase components─including catalysts, proteins, and cells─while retaining as much of their internal pore volume as possible. Here, we establish design principles for the noncovalent surface functionalization of hydrophobic metal-organic frameworks with amphiphilic polymers that render the particles dispersible in water and enhance their hydrolytic stability. Specifically, we show that block co-polymers with persistence lengths that exceed the micropore aperture size of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) can dramatically enhance ZIF particle dispersibility and stability while preserving porosity and >80% of the theoretical O2 carrying capacity. Moreover, enhancements in hydrolytic stability are greatest when the polymer can form strong bonds to exposed metal sites on the external particle surface. More broadly, our insights provide guidelines for controlling the interface between polymers and metal-organic framework particles in aqueous environments to augment the properties of microporous water.

Abstract
Nucleic acid plays a crucial role in countless biological processes. Hence, there is great interest in its detection and analysis in various fields from chemistry, biology, to medicine. Nanoporous crystalline materials exhibit enormous potential as an effective platform for nucleic acid recognition and application. These materials have highly ordered and uniform pore structures, as well as adjustable surface chemistry and pore size, making them good carriers for nucleic acid extraction, detection, and delivery. In this review, the latest developments in nanoporous crystalline materials, including metal organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), and supramolecular organic frameworks (SOFs) for nucleic acid recognition and applications are discussed. Different strategies for functionalizing these materials are explored to specifically identify nucleic acid targets. Their applications in selective separation and detection of nucleic acids are highlighted. They can also be used as DNA/RNA sensors, gene delivery agents, host DNAzymes, and in DNA-based computing. Other applications include catalysis, data storage, and biomimetics. The development of novel nanoporous crystalline materials with enhanced biocompatibility has opened up new avenues in the fields of nucleic acid analysis and therapy, paving the way for the development of sensitive, selective, and cost-effective diagnostic and therapeutic tools with widespread applications.

Abstract
Oxygen is critical to the survival, function and fate of mammalian cells. Oxygen tension controls cellular behavior through metabolic programming, which in turn controls tissue regeneration. A variety of biomaterials with oxygen-releasing capabilities have been developed to provide oxygen supply to ensure cell survival and differentiation for therapeutic efficacy, and to prevent hypoxia-induced tissue damage and cell death. However, controlling the oxygen release with spatial and temporal accuracy is still technically challenging. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of organic and inorganic materials available as oxygen sources, including hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), photosynthetic organisms, solid and liquid peroxides, and some of the latest materials such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Additionally, we introduce the corresponding carrier materials and the oxygen production methods and present state-of-the-art applications and breakthroughs of oxygen-releasing materials. Furthermore, we discuss the current challenges and the future perspectives in the field. After reviewing the recent progress and the future perspectives of oxygen-releasing materials, we predict that smart material systems that combine precise detection of oxygenation and adaptive control of oxygen delivery will be the future trend for oxygen-releasing materials in regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Facile approaches capable of constructing stable and structurally diverse porous liquids (PLs) that can deliver high-performance applications are a long-standing, captivating, and challenging research area that requires significant attention. Herein, a facile surface deposition strategy is demonstrated to afford diverse type III-PLs possessing ultra-stable dispersion, external structure modification, and enhanced performance in gas storage and transformation by leveraging the expeditious and uniform precipitation of selected metal salts. The Ag(I) species-modified zeolite nanosheets are deployed as the porous host to construct type III-PLs with ionic liquids (ILs) containing bromide anion , leading to stable dispersion driven by the formation of AgBr nanoparticles. The as-afforded type-III PLs display promising performance in CO2 capture/conversion and ethylene/ethane separation. Property and performance of the as-produced PLs can be tuned by the cation structure of the ILs, which can be harnessed to achieve polarity reversal of the porous host via ionic exchange. The surface deposition procedure can be further extended to produce PLs from Ba(II)-functionalized zeolite and ILs containing [SO4 ]2- anion driven by the formation of BaSO4 salts. The as-produced PLs are featured by well-maintained crystallinity of the porous host, good fluidity and stability, enhanced gas uptake capacity, and attractive performance in small gas molecule utilization.

Abstract
Porous liquids are an emerging class of microporous materials where intrinsic, stable porosity is imbued in a liquid material. Many porous liquids are prepared by dispersing porous solids in bulky solvents; these can be contrasted by the method of dissolving microporous molecules. We highlight the latter "Type II" porous liquids-which are stable thermodynamic solutions with demonstrable colligative properties. This feature significantly impacts the ultimate utility of the liquid for various end-use applications. We also describe a facile method for determining if a Type II porous liquid candidate is "porous" based on assessing the partial molar volume of the porous host molecule dissolved in the solvent by measuring the densities of candidate solutions. Conventional CO2 isotherms confirm the porosity of the porous liquids and corroborate the facile density method.

Abstract
Porous liquids (PLs) based on the zeolitic imidazole framework ZIF-8 are attractive systems for carbon capture since the hydrophobic ZIF framework can be solvated in aqueous solvent systems without porous host degradation. However, solid ZIF-8 is known to degrade when exposed to CO2 in wet environments, and therefore the long-term stability of ZIF-8-based PLs is unknown. Through aging experiments, the long-term stability of a ZIF-8 PL formed using the water, ethylene glycol, and 2-methylimidazole solvent system was systematically examined, and the mechanisms of degradation were elucidated. The PL was found to be stable for several weeks, with no ZIF framework degradation observed after aging in N2 or air. However, for PLs aged in a CO2 atmosphere, formation of a secondary phase occurred within 1 day from the degradation of the ZIF-8 framework. From the computational and structural evaluation of the effects of CO2 on the PL solvent mixture, it was identified that the basic environment of the PL caused ethylene glycol to react with CO2 forming carbonate species. These carbonate species further react within the PL to degrade ZIF-8. The mechanisms governing this process involves a multistep pathway for PL degradation and lays out a long-term evaluation strategy of PLs for carbon capture. Additionally, it clearly demonstrates the need to examine the reactivity and aging properties of all components in these complex PL systems in order to fully assess their stabilities and lifetimes.

Abstract
Porous liquids are fluids with the permanent porosity, which can overcome the poor gas solubility limitations of conventional porous solid materials for three phase gas-liquid-solid reactions. However, preparation of porous liquids still requires the complicated and tedious use of porous hosts and bulky liquids. Herein, we develop a facile method to produce a porous metal-organic cage (MOC) liquid (Im-PL-Cage) by self-assembly of long polyethylene glycol (PEG)-imidazolium chain functional linkers, calixarene molecules and Zn ions. The Im-PL-Cage in neat liquid has permanent porosity and fluidity, endowing it with a high capacity of CO2 adsorption. Thus, the CO2 stored in an Im-PL-Cage can be efficiently converted to the value-added formylation product in the atmosphere, which far exceeds the porous MOC solid and nonporous PEG-imidazolium counterparts. This work offers a new method to prepare neat porous liquids for catalytic transformation of adsorbed gas molecules.

Abstract
Herein, we encapsulated modified silicon carbide nanoparticles utilizing a metal-organic backbone. E-SiC-FeZnZIF composites were successfully prepared via Fe doping. The catalysis activity of this bifunctional composite material was evaluated by the degradation of tetracycline (THC) and carbamazepine (CBZ) and the reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2). Nano SiC has received widespread attention in advanced oxidation applications, especially in the catalytic activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS). However, the inferior activity of SiC has severely restricted its practical use. In this study of dual functional composite materials, nano SiC was firstly etched under aqueous alkali. Then, zeolite imidazolate frame-8 (ZIF-8) was used for immobilization. The filling of the etched nano SiC with FeZnZiF was confirmed by SEM, XRD, FTIR, BET, and XPS analyses. In addition, E-SiC-FeZnZIF exhibited excellent catalytic activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to oxidize water pollutants, which can degrade tetracycline hydrochloride (THC), achieving a removal rate of 72% within 60 min. Moreover, E-SiC-FeZnZIF exhibited a relatively high CO2 reduction rate with H2O. The yields of CO and CH4 were 0.085 and 0.509 μmol g-1, respectively, after 2 h, which are higher than that of 50 nm of commercial SiC (CO: 0.084 μmol g-1; CH4: 0.209 μmol g-1). This work provides a relatively convenient synthesis path for constructing metal skeleton composites for advanced oxidation and photocatalytic applications. This will have practical significance in protecting water bodies and reducing CO2, which are vital not only for maintaining the natural ecological balance and negative feedback regulation, but also for creating a new application carrier based on nano silicon carbide.

Abstract
The synthesis of ammonia through photocatalysis or photoelectrochemistry (PEC) and nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) has become one of the recent research hotspots in the field, where the catalyzed materials and strategies are critical for the NRR. Herein, a Ni-doped MoS2/Si nanowires (Ni-MoS2/Si NWs) photocathode is prepared, where the Si NWs are formed on the surface of a Si slice by the metal-assisted chemical etching method, and the hydrothermally synthesized Ni-MoS2 nanosheets are then cast-coated on the Si NWs electrode. Porous water with high solubility of N2 is prepared by treating a hydrophobic porous coordination polymer with hydrophilic bovine serum albumin for subsequent aqueous dispersing. The relevant electrodes and materials are characterized by electrochemistry, UV-vis spectrophotometry, scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method, and zeta potential method. The uses of the Ni-MoS2/Si NWs photocathode and the porous water with high nitrogen solubility for PEC-NRR give a yield of NH3 of 12.0 mmol h-1 m-2 under optimal conditions (e.g., at 0.25 V vs RHE), and the obtained apparent Faradaic efficiency higher than 100% is discussed from the inherent photocurrent-free photocatalysis effect of the photoelectrodes and the suggested classification of three kinds of electrons in PEC, which may have some reference value in understanding and improving other PEC-based processes.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived metal oxide semiconductors have recently received extensive attention in gas sensing applications due to their high porosity and three-dimensional architecture. Still, challenges remain for MOF-derived materials, including low-cost and facile synthetic methods, rational nanostructure design, and superior gas-sensing performances. Herein, a series of Fe-MIL-88B-derived trimetallic FeCoNi oxides (FCN-MOS) with a mesoporous structure were synthesized by a one-step hydrothermal reaction followed by calcination. The FCN-MOS system consists of three main phases: α-Fe2O3 (n-type), CoFe2O4, and NiFe2O4 (p-type), and the nanostructure and pore size can be controlled by altering the content of α-Fe2O3, CoFe2O4, and NiFe2O4. The sensors based on FCN-MOS exhibit a high response of 71.9, a good selectivity towards 100 ppm ethanol at 250 °C, and long-term stability up to 60 days. Additionally, the FCN-MOS-based sensors show a p-n transition gas sensing behavior with the alteration of the Fe/Co/Ni ratio.

Abstract
Molecular dynamics simulation is applied to investigate the effect of two ionic liquids (IL) on the nucleation and growth of (nano)cavities in water under tension and on the cavities' collapse following the release of tension. Simulations of the same phenomena in two pure water samples of different sizes are carried out for comparison. The first IL, i.e., tetra-ethylammonium mesylate ([Tea][Ms]), is relatively hydrophilic and its addition to water at 25 wt % concentration decreases its tendency to nucleate cavities. Apart from quantitative details, cavity formation and collapse are similar to those taking place in water and qualitatively follow the Rayleigh-Plesset (RP) equation. The second IL, i.e., tetrabutyl phosphonium 2,4-dimethylbenzenesulfonate ([P4444][DMBS]), is amphiphilic and forms nanostructured solutions with water. At 25 wt % concentrations, [P4444][DMBS] favors the nucleation of bubbles that tend to form at the interface between water-rich and IL-rich domains. Cavity collapse in [P4444][DMBS]/water solutions are greatly hindered by a shell of ions decorating the interface between the solution and the vapor phase. A similar effect is observed for the equilibration of a population of bubbles of different sizes. The drastic slowing down of the bubbles' relaxation processes suggests ways to produce long-lived nanometric cavities in the liquid phase that could be useful for nanotechnology and drug delivery.

Abstract
Otitis media (OM) is the main cause of pediatric antibiotic prescriptions. Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) is a major OM pathogen, which forms a biofilm that resists conventional antimicrobials and immune clearance. Thus, novel treatments that are effective against NTHi and its biofilm are urgently required. Nanozymes (often inorganic nanoparticles) mimic natural enzymes' catalytic activities to generate strong antimicrobials at the site of infection, and thus represent one of the emerging solutions to the crisis of antimicrobial resistance. They mimic natural enzymes' activities, such as generating strong antimicrobials catalytically at the site of infection, to minimize overexposure. However, that in situ generation often relies on Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) as precursors, a prerequisite that limits the broad deployment of nanozymes. To address this challenge, we designed a cascade nanozyme that generates an antiseptic, HOBr, from a ubiquitous non-ROS, i.e., O2, which successfully eradicates NTHi. The cascade nanozyme simultaneously exhibits glucose oxidase (GOx)-like activity from gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and haloperoxidase (HPO)-mimicking activity from vanadium pentoxide nanowires (V2O5 NWs) connected using dopamine (DPA). The cascade nanozyme demonstrated strong antimicrobial efficacy against NTHi and its biofilm, while showing improved biocompatibility compared to the nanozyme of V2O5 NWs alone. The cascade nanozyme thus points to a material-oriented infectious disease treatment strategy, where small-molecule antimicrobials are generated in real time at the site of infection for the benefit of autonomous dosing. This strategy potentially mitigates the development of antimicrobial resistance and reduces side effects.
