Abstract
With advancements in semiconductor industry technology, the gas emissions per wafer have decreased, but the emission compositions have shown significant differences. This study analyzed nine semiconductor plants representing different generations of process technologies, ranging from 3 μm to 12 nm technology nodes. Stack inspections were conducted on the acid, alkali, and organic exhaust systems to understand the characteristics of inorganic acid emissions in plants in different process technologies. The analysis showed that with technological process and air pollution control equipment advancements, the emissions of inorganic acids per wafer decreased by 38% compared to the first generation. It is worth noting that both hydrofluoric acid and nitric acid are identified as the primary pollutants in traditional semiconductor process plants. At the same time, H2SO4 was instead the primary pollutant in advanced process plants. Based on these characteristics, each plant has established relevant improvement strategies. After two years of improvement, the emissions of inorganic acids per wafer in each generation of plants are evidenced to have further decreased by 15-56%. Hence, it is shown that these initiatives and studies have successfully helped to reduce air pollution emissions and promote advanced green manufacturing.

Abstract
This study synthesized UiO-66, a typical Zr-Metal Organic Framework (MOF), by using an ultrasound-assisted synthesis method to reduce the synthesis time. This method was short-time ultrasound irradiation at the initial stage of the reaction. As compared with average particle size of conventional solvothermal method (=192 nm), averaged particle size by the ultrasound-assisted synthesis method showed particle sizes that were smaller on average, ranging from 56 to 155 nm. In order to compare the relative reaction rates of the solvothermal method and the ultrasound-assisted synthesis method, the cloudiness of the reaction solution in the reactor was observed with a video camera, and the luminance was calculated from the images obtained by the video camera. It was found that the ultrasound-assisted synthesis method showed a faster increase in luminance and shorter induction time than the solvothermal method. The slope of the luminance increase during the transient period was also found to become increase with the addition of ultrasound, which also affects the growth of particles. Observation of the aliquoted reaction solution confirmed that particle growth was faster in the ultrasound-assisted synthesis method than in the solvothermal method. Numerical simulations were also performed using MATLAB ver. 5.5 to analyze the unique reaction field generated by ultrasound. Bubble radius and temperature inside a cavitation bubble was obtained using the Keller-Miksis equation, which reproduces the motion of a single bubble. The bubble radius expanded and contracted repeatedly according to the ultrasound sound pressure, and eventually collapsed. The temperature at the time of collapse was extremely high, exceeding 17,000 K. It was confirmed that the high-temperature reaction field generated by ultrasound irradiation promoted nucleation, leading to a reduction in particle size and induction time.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Titanium implants are regarded as a promising treatment modality for replacing missing teeth. Osteointegration and antibacterial properties are both desirable characteristics for titanium dental implants. The aim of this study was to create zinc (Zn)-, strontium (Sr)-, and magnesium (Mg)-multidoped hydroxyapatite (HAp) porous coatings, including HAp, Zn-doped HAp, and Zn-Sr-Mg-doped HAp, on titanium discs and implants using the vapor-induced pore-forming atmospheric plasma spraying (VIPF-APS) technique. METHODS The mRNA and protein levels of osteogenesis-associated genes such as collagen type I alpha 1 chain (COL1A1), decorin (DCN), osteoprotegerin (TNFRSF11B), and osteopontin (SPP1) were examined in human embryonic palatal mesenchymal cells. The antibacterial effects against periodontal bacteria, including Porphyromonas gingivalis and Prevotella nigrescens, were investigated. In addition, a rat animal model was used to evaluate new bone formation via histologic examination and micro-computed tomography (CT). RESULTS The ZnSrMg-HAp group was the most effective at inducing mRNA and protein expression of TNFRSF11B and SPP1 after 7 days of incubation, and TNFRSF11B and DCN after 11 days of incubation. In addition, both the ZnSrMg-HAp and Zn-HAp groups were effective against P. gingivalis and P. nigrescens. Furthermore, according to both in vitro studies and histologic findings, the ZnSrMg-HAp group exhibited the most prominent osteogenesis and concentrated bone growth along implant threads. SIGNIFICANCE A porous ZnSrMg-HAp coating using VIPF-APS could serve as a novel technique for coating titanium implant surfaces and preventing further bacterial infection.

Abstract
Epidemiological control and public health monitoring during the outbreaks of infectious viral diseases rely on the ability to detect viral pathogens. Here we demonstrate a rapid, sensitive, and selective nanotechnology-enhanced severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) detection based on the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) responses from the plasma-engineered, variant-specific antibody-functionalized silver microplasma-engineered nanoassemblies (AgMEN) interacting with the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) and nucleocapsid (N) proteins. The three-dimensional (3D) porous AgMEN with plasmonic-active nanostructures provide a high sensitivity to virus detection via the remarkable SERS signal collection. Moreover, the variant-specific antibody-functionalization on the SERS-active AgMEN enabled the high selectivity of the SARS-CoV-2 S variants, including wild-type, Alpha, Delta, and Omicron, under the simulated human saliva conditions. The exceptional ultrahigh sensitivity of our SERS biosensor was demonstrated via SARS-CoV-2 S and N proteins at the detection limit of 1 fg mL-1 and 0.1 pg mL-1, respectively. Our work demonstrates a versatile SERS-based detection platform can be applied for the ultrasensitive detection of virus variants, infectious diseases, and cancer biomarkers.

Abstract
Due to their interfacial defects between inorganic fillers and polymer matrices, research into mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) is challenging. In the application of CO2 separation, these defects can potentially jeopardize the performance of membranes. In this study, aminosilane functionalization is employed to improve the nano-sized zeolite Y (ZeY) particle dispersion and adhesion in polyether block amide (Pebax). The performance of CO2/CH4 separation of Pebax mixed matrix composite hollow fiber membranes, incorporated with ZeY and aminosilane-modified zeolite Y (Mo-ZeY), is investigated. The addition of the zeolite filler at a small loading at 5 wt.% has a positive impact on both gas permeability and separation factor. Due to the CO2-facilitated transport effect, the performance of MMMs is further improved by the amino-functional groups modified on the ZeY. When 5 wt.% of Mo-ZeY is incorporated, the gas permeability and CO2/CH4 separation factor of the Pebax membrane are enhanced by over 100% and 35%, respectively.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) membranes are potentially useful in gas separation applications. Conventional methods of MOF membrane preparation require multiple steps and high-pressure conditions. In this study, a reliable one-step interfacial synthesis method under atmospheric pressure has been developed to prepare zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) membranes supported on porous α-Al2O3 disks. To obtain optimal ZIF-8 membranes, three reaction parameters were investigated, namely, reaction temperature, reaction time, and concentration of the organic linker (i.e., 2-methylimidazole). The growth of ZIF-8 membranes under various parameters was evaluated by field-emission scanning electron microscopy, and the optimal synthesis conditions were determined (i.e., 80 °C for 12 h in 50 mM of 2-methylimidazole). The as-synthesized ZIF-8 membranes were then applied to CO2/N2 gas separation, which exhibited a maximum separation factor of 5.49 and CO2 gas permeance of 0.47 × 10-7 mol·m-2·s-1·Pa-1.

Abstract
This paper describes the fabrication, modification, and evaluation of the performance of thin-film composite (TFC) forward osmosis (FO) membranes for lab-scale aquaculture wastewater recovery using various fumed silica (SiO2) nanoparticles. The active polyamide (PA) layers of these membranes were novelly modified using different types of pretreated SiO2 nanoparticles [virgin SiO2, dried SiO2, and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES)-modified SiO2] and concentrations (0.05, 0,1, 0,2, and 0.4 wt%) to improve the membrane hydrophilicity with minimum particle agglomeration. Results show that the APTES-SiO2 modified membrane had the highest water flux and selectivity, followed by the dried-SiO2 modified membrane. The APTES coupling agent notably reduced the SiO2 aggregation on the membrane surface and improved membrane hydrophilicity. Consequently, high permeate flux and an acceptable reverse solute flux were observed. The optimal SiO2 concentration for PA modification was 0.1 wt% for all the nanoparticle types. The virgin and APTES-SiO2 modified membranes were used for aquaculture wastewater recovery. The water recovery rate reached 47% in 84 h when using the APTES-SiO2 modified membrane, while it reached only 26% in 108 h when using the virgin membrane. With a suitable design of the filtration apparatus and choice of draw solution (DS), the prepared novel TFC-FO membrane containing APTES-modified SiO2 can be used for recycling aquaculture wastewater into the DS, which can then be reused for other purposes.

Abstract
The beneficial effects of Sr- and Mg-doped hydroxyapatite (HAp) on osteoblast proliferation and bone regeneration have been investigated in the past, and the antibacterial ability of Zn ions is well known. However, HAp coatings doped with these three elements via thermal spraying have not yet been investigated. In this study, HAp powder was synthesized at different pH values (4, 6, 8, and 10) and calcined at different temperatures (200, 400, 600, 800, and 1000 °C) to obtain HAp with the highest purity. Subsequently, strontium-, magnesium-, and zinc-doped HAp powders were synthesized at the optimal pH value and calcination temperature. The HAp powder was then coated onto Ti disks using atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) or vapor-induced pore-forming atmospheric plasma spraying (VIPF-APS) techniques at different working currents (350, 400, and 450 A) and spraying distances (10 and 15 cm). X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy-dispersive spectroscopy were used for material characterization to determine the optimal parameters. With these optimal coating parameters, HAp, Zn-HAp, SrMg-HAp, and ZnSrMg-HAp powders were deposited onto the Ti disks using VIPF-APS and named HAp-Ti, Zn-HAp-Ti, SrMg-HAp-Ti, and ZnSrMg-HAp-Ti, respectively. The in vitro bioactivity of these four groups was evaluated using a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide and alkaline phosphatase (ALPase) activity assay. Besides, the antibacterial activities against Prevotella nigrescens, Porphyromonas gingivalis, and Fusobacterium nucleatum were assessed. The results showed that the purity of HAp synthesized at pH 10 and 800 °C was 98.40%. A porous coating without cracks was obtained at a 10 cm spraying distance and 400 A working current using VIPF-APS. SrMg-HAp-Ti and ZnSrMg-HAp-Ti resulted in higher osteoblast proliferation and ALPase activity than the control. Moreover, both Zn-HAp-Ti and ZnSrMg-HAp-Ti exhibited antibacterial activity against the three bacteria. Therefore, ZnSrMg-HAp has potential as a coating for biomedical materials due to its ability to reduce bacterial infection and enhance osseointegration.

Abstract
We report on our use of a thin-layered vertical mesoporous silica thin film (MSTF) with tunable pore size overlaid on an anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membrane for advancing water purification. The features of ultrathin thickness (about 20 nm), a uniform vertical pore orientation, low tortuosity, high porosity, and a hydrophilic surface endow the MSTF membranes with ultrahigh water permeability compared with that of state-of-the-art membranes. The modified E-MSTF membrane with a small pore diameter of 2.1 ± 0.1 nm demonstrates superior nanofiltration performance for dye molecules with a cutoff of 520 Da and ultrahigh water permeability of 310 ± 8 L m-2 h-1 bar-1. Furthermore, the precise molecular sieving of dye/salt mixtures was realized with outstanding salt permeation (97.5% NaCl, 96.0% Na2SO4) and a high retention of dye (99.0%). The water permeance and selectivity of the modified E-MSTF membrane are higher than that of reported membranes with similar dye rejections. This work opens up new avenues for constructing tailor-made membranes with tunable pore size and remarkable separation performance.

Abstract
This study investigated the position of ultrasonic irradiation source and reactor geometry on fragmentation rate of a layered compound, α-zirconium phosphate (α-ZrP). By numerically solving the acoustic pressure distribution using COMSOL Multiphysics®, it is clarified the mechanism whereby the operating factors influenced the α-ZrP dispersion to make a suggestion of guideline of the process design method. Two vessels made of glass with a flat-bottom and a spherical-bottom, respectively, were used. Although the flat-bottom vessel at lower horn position showed the best performance of fragmentation, the region of high acoustic pressure field in the flat bottom vessel sharply narrowed and the transmittance became prominently low. On the other hand, no significant difference of the transmittance value in the spherical bottom vessel between the cases of low and high horn positions could be observed and the spherical bottom vessel was robust for the horn position. These results suggest that not only the magnitude of acoustic pressure but also the size of high acoustic pressure region is also an important factor and a spherical bottom vessel is one of suitable shape which gives large size of high acoustic pressure region regardless of the horn position.

Abstract
The slow kinetics of ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) has limited its widespread use for fuel cells. Bimetallic catalysts with optimized surface compositions can considerably govern rate-determining steps through selectivity for CH3COOH formation or by facilitating the adsorption of OHadsvia the bifunctional effect of an alloy to increase the EOR's kinetic rates. Here, we reported monodisperse ordered In-Pd nanoparticles as new bimetallic high-performance catalysts for EOR. In-Pd nanoparticles, i.e., In3Pd2 and In3Pd5 were prepared using arrested precipitation in solution, and their composition, structures, phase and crystallinity were confirmed using a variety of analyses including TEM, XPS, EDS and XRD. In-Pd nanoparticles were loaded on carbon black (Vulcan XC-72) as electrocatalysts for EOR in alkaline media. In3Pd2 and In3Pd5 nanoparticles exhibited 5.8 times and 4.0 times higher mass activities than commercial Pd/C, which showed that the presence of indium greatly boosts electrocatalytic reactivity for EOR of Pd catalysts. This performance is the best among those of bimetallic nanoparticles reported to date. Such high performance of In-Pd nanoparticles may be attributed to the following two reasons. First, In-Pd nanoparticles exhibited excellent CO anti-poison ability, as confirmed by CO striping experiments. Second, as revealed by DFT calculations of metals with OHads adsorption, In atoms on In3Pd2 surface exhibited the lowest energy (-1.659 eV) for OHads adsorption as compared to other common oxophilic metals including Sn, SnPt, Ag, Ge, Co, Pb, and Cu. We propose that the presence of indium sites promoted efficient free OH radical adsorption on indium sites and resulted in a faster reaction rate of acetate formation from acetaldehyde (the rate determining step for EOR on Pd sites). Finally, a single direct ethanol fuel cell (DEFC) with Pd/C anode was prepared. Compared to the results for a commercial Pd/C anode, the open circuit voltage (OCV) of In3Pd2/C improved by 0.25 V (from 0.64 to 0.89 V) and the power density improved by ∼80% (from 3.7 to 6.7 mW cm-2), demonstrating its practical uses as Pt or Pd catalyst alternatives for DEFC.

Abstract
Having a secure and stable energy supply is a top priority for the global community. Fuel-cell technology is recognized as a promising electrical energy generation system for the twenty-first century. Polyvinyl alcohol/zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (PVA/ZIF-8) composite membranes were successfully prepared in this work from direct ZIF-8 suspension solution (0⁻45.4 wt %) and PVA mixing to prevent filler aggregation for direct methanol alkaline fuel cells (DMAFCs). The ZIF-8 fillers were chosen for the appropriate cavity size as a screening aid to allow water and suppress methanol transport. Increased ionic conductivities and suppressed methanol permeabilities were achieved for the PVA/40.5% ZIF-8 composites, compared to other samples. A high power density of 173.2 mW cm-2 was achieved using a KOH-doped PVA/40.5% ZIF-8 membrane in a DMAFC at 60 °C with 1⁻2 mg cm-2 catalyst loads. As the filler content was raised beyond 45.4 wt %, adverse effects resulted and the DMAFC performance (144.9 mW cm-2) was not improved further. Therefore, the optimal ZIF-8 content was approximately 40.5 wt % in the polymeric matrix. The specific power output was higher (58 mW mg-1) than most membranes reported in the literature (3⁻18 mW mg-1).
