Abstract Controllable fabrication of angstrom-size channels has been long desired to mimic biological ion for the fundamental study transport. Here we report a strategy fabricating angstrom-scale with one-dimensional (1D) three-dimensional (3D) pore structures by growth metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) into nanochannels. The 1D MIL-53 flexible sizes around 5.2 × 8.9 Å can transport cations rapidly, one two orders magnitude higher conductivities and mobilities than MOF hybrid configurations...

Metal–organic framework (MOF) membranes with high ion selectivity are highly desirable for direct lithium-ion (Li+) separation from industrial brines. However, very few MOF can efficiently separate Li+ brines of Mg2+/Li+ concentration ratios and keep stable in ultrahigh Mg2+-concentrated This work reports a type MOF-channel (MOFCMs) by growing UiO-66-(SH)2 into the nanochannels polymer substrates to improve efficiency challenging extraction. The resulting demonstrate excellent monovalent...

1D nanochannels modified with responsive molecules are fabricated to replicate gating functionalities of biological ion channels, but effects usually weak because small molecular gates cannot efficiently block the large channels in closed states. Now, 3D metal-organic framework (MOF) sub-nanochannels (SNCs) confined azobenzene (AZO) achieve efficient light-gating functionalities. The MOFSNCs consisting a MOF UiO66 ca. 9-12 Å cavities connected by 6 triangular windows work as angstrom-scale...

Biological proton channels are sub-1-nm protein pores with ultrahigh (H+) selectivity over other ions. Inspired by biological channels, developing artificial biological-level is of fundamental significance for separation science. Herein we report synthetic fabrication based on sulfonated metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), UiO-66-X, X = SAG, NH-SAG, (NH-SAG)2 (SAG: sulfonic acid groups), which have windows and a high density groups mimicking natural channels. The ion conductance UiO-66-X...

Abstract The promising energy storage devices, zinc ion batteries (ZIBs), face challenges such as dendritic growth and side reactions, which hinder their application development. As a polar group, hydroxyl groups can utilize hydrogen bonding to stably anchor water molecules, preventing contact between the anode. Moreover, they attract guide Zn 2+ rapidly uniformly deposit on Here, introduction of multi‐hydroxyl water‐locking additive Lactobionic acid (LA) molecules is proposed into...

ConspectusThe smart regulation of ion flow in biological channels (BICs) is vital to life. In general, intelligent BICs possess three main functions: (i) selectively transfer specific ions, (ii) quickly conduct and (iii) responsively control the ions. Since early exploration potassium (K+) sodium (Na+) began 1950s, gating behaviors have been investigated for more than 70 years. Taking first reported voltage-gated transport process as an example, a gate, which acts voltage sensor BICs,...

Recommender systems have been widely used in recent years. By exploiting historical user-item interactions, recommender can model personalized potential interests of users and applied to a wide range scenarios. Despite their impressive performance, most them may be subject unwanted biases related sensitive attributes (e.g., race gender), leading unfairness. An intuitive idea alleviate this problem is ensure that there no mutual information between recommendation results attributes. However,...
