Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks ZIF-8 and ZIF-67 were prepared from stoichiometric metal ligand aqueous solutions at room temperature within 10 min. Triblock copolymer ammonium hydroxide are both essential for the formation of ZIFs. Ammonium in solution deprotonates 2-methylimidazole, PEO groups triblock surfactant electrostatically attract ions, leading to ZIF-67. The yield is more than 98%, which highest so far. This method very promising efficient environmentally friendly synthesis ZIFs...

Commercial nanofiltration (NF) membranes have been used to separate dyes and salts in industry; however, NF membrane's high rejection divalent (i.e., Na2SO4) leads a reduction of salt recovery. In this study, tight ultrafiltration (t-UF) ceramic membrane (MWCO 8800 Da) is proposed fractionate mixed (NaCl/Na2SO4) for textile wastewater treatment. Performance the t-UF DK polymeric (from GE) has compared regarding permeability, retention reactive dyes, permeation salts. The presents better...
Toluene was discovered as the structure template for synthesis of large-cage RHO-type zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIF-11 and ZIF-12) in an alcohol-based solution where benzimidazole-toluene interactions play a decisive structure-directing role; otherwise it leads to small-cage SOD-type ZIF-7 ZIF-9 without toluene. The specific π-π make toluene molecules adopt oriented arrangement unit cell. XRD intensity (100) plane is strongly dependent on amount toluene: apparent degradation observed...
Porous membranes/filters that can remove airborne fine particulates, for example, PM2.5, with high efficiency at low energy consumption are of significant interest. Herein, we report on the fabrication a new class unusual superior air filters ultrahigh and an interesting antibacterial functionality. We use atomic layer deposition (ALD) to uniformly seed ZnO surface expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) matrix, then synthesize well-aligned nanorods tunable widths lengths from seeds under...
Airborne contaminants, including particulate matters (PM), pathogens, and gases are presenting serious health challenges. Electrospinning has emerged as a facile technique for synthesizing nanofiber membranes to be used separate airborne contaminants. Herein, were formed from polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) by systematic optimization of the electrospinning process generate highly efficient face masks. A scalable comfort (low pressure drop) air filtration efficiency PVDF membrane was achieved...
