JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 363:121437. [PMID: 38852419 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.121437] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2024] [Revised: 05/26/2024] [Accepted: 06/07/2024] [Indexed: 06/11/2024]
Abstract
Membrane-based water treatment has emerged as a promising solution to address global water challenges. Graphene oxide (GO) has been successfully employed in membrane filtration processes owing to its reversible properties, large-scale production potential, layer-to-layer stacking, great oxygen-based functional groups, and unique physicochemical characteristics, including the creation of nano-channels. This review evaluates the separation performance of various GO-based membranes, manufactured by coating or interfacial polymerization with different support layers such as polymer, metal, and ceramic, for endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) and pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs). In most studies, the addition of GO significantly improved the removal efficiency, flux, porosity, hydrophilicity, stability, mechanical strength, and antifouling performance compared to pristine membranes. The key mechanisms involved in contaminant removal included size exclusion, electrostatic exclusion, and adsorption. These mechanisms could be ascribed to the physicochemical properties of compounds, such as molecular size and shape, hydrophilicity, and charge state. Therefore, understanding the removal mechanisms based on compound characteristics and appropriately adjusting the operational conditions are crucial keys to membrane separation. Future research directions should explore the characteristics of the combination of GO derivatives with various support layers, by tailoring diverse operating conditions and compounds for effective removal of EDCs and PhACs. This is expected to accelerate the development of surface modification strategies for enhanced contaminant removal.

Abstract
Controlling miscibility between mixture components helps induce spontaneous phase separation into distinct domain sizes, thereby resulting in porous conjugated polymer (CP) films with different pore sizes after selective removal of auxiliary components. The miscibility of the CP mixture can be tailored by blending auxiliary model components designed by reflecting the difference in solubility parameters with the CP. The pore size increases as the difference in solubility parameters between the matrix CP and auxiliary component increases. Electrical properties are not critically damaged even after forming pores in the CP; however, excessive pore formation enables pores to spread to the vicinity of the dielectric layer of CP-based field-effect transistors (FETs), leading to partial loss of the carrier-transporting active channel in the FET. The porous structure is advantageous for not only increasing detection sensitivity but also improving the detection speed when porous CP films are applied to FET-based gas sensors for NO2 detection. The quantitative analysis of the response-recovery trend of the FET sensor using the Langmuir isotherm suggests that the response speed can be improved by more than 2.5 times with a 50-fold increase in NO2 sensitivity compared with pristine CP, which has no pores.

Abstract
Coke oven gas (COG) is considered to be one of the most likely raw materials for large-scale H2 production in the near or medium term, with membrane separation technologies standing out from traditional technologies due to their less energy-intensive structures as well as simple operation and occupation. Based on the "MOF-in/on-COF" pore modification strategy, the COF membrane (named the PBD membrane) and ZIF-67 were used as assembly elements to design advanced molecular sieving membranes for hydrogen separation. The composition and microstructure of membranes before and after ZIF-67 loading as well as ZIF-67-in-PBD membranes under different preparation conditions (metal ion concentration, metal-ligand ratio, and reaction time) were investigated by various characterizations to reveal the synthesis regularity and microstructure regulation. Furthermore, H2/CH4 separation performances and separation mechanisms were also analyzed and compared. Finally, a dense, continuous, ultrathin, and self-supporting ZIF-67-in-PBD membrane with a Co2+ concentration of 0.02 mol/L, a metal-ligand ratio of 1:4, and a reaction time of 6 h exhibited the largest specific surface area, micropore proportion, and the best H2/CH4 separation selectivity (α = 33.48), which was significantly higher than the Robeson upper limit and was in a leading position among reported MOF membranes. The separation mechanism was mainly size screening, and adsorption selectivity also contributed a little.

Abstract
Polymeric microspheres (PMs) have attracted great attention in the field of biomedicine in the last several decades due to their small particle size, special functionalities shown on the surface and high surface-to-volume ratio. However, how to fabricate PMs which can meet the clinical needs and transform laboratory achievements to industrial scale-up still remains a challenge. Therefore, advanced fabrication technologies are pursued. In this review, we summarize the technologies used to fabricate PMs, including emulsion-based methods, microfluidics, spray drying, coacervation, supercritical fluid and superhydrophobic surface-mediated method and their advantages and disadvantages. We also review the different structures, properties and functions of the PMs and their applications in the fields of drug delivery, cell encapsulation and expansion, scaffolds in tissue engineering, transcatheter arterial embolization and artificial cells. Moreover, we discuss existing challenges and future perspectives for advancing fabrication technologies and biomedical applications of PMs.

Abstract
A combination of benzoyl peroxide (BPO) and tretinoin is recommended for treating acne; however, concurrent administration can be irritating, and coformulation is prevented by BPO-mediated oxidation of tretinoin. In rosacea, benzoyl peroxide has been shown to be efficacious; however, its use has been limited by poor tolerability. To overcome these limitations, the active ingredients can be encapsulated within silica microcapsules. The US Food and Drug Administration has approved 2 products using this technology, a combination of encapsulated benzoyl peroxide and encapsulated tretinoin product for acne vulgaris and encapsulated benzoyl peroxide to treat inflammatory lesions in rosacea. The active ingredients are released through small channels in the silica shell, gradually releasing the active ingredients to the skin. This study describes the stability and release profiles of encapsulated tretinoin and encapsulated benzoyl peroxide from the silica shell in physiologically relevant conditions and provides differentiation from traditional formulations.

Abstract
Understanding the mechanisms of pH-responsiveness allows researchers to design and fabricate membranes with specific functionalities for various applications. The pH-responsive membranes (PRMs) are particular categories of membranes that have an amazing aptitude to change their properties such as permeability, selectivity and surface charge in response to changes in pH levels. This review provides a brief introduction to mechanisms of pH-responsiveness in polymers and categorizes the applied polymers and functional groups. After that, different techniques for fabricating pH-responsive membranes such as grafting, the blending of pH-responsive polymers/microgels/nanomaterials, novel polymers and graphene-layered PRMs are discussed. The application of PRMs in different processes such as filtration membranes, reverse osmosis, drug delivery, gas separation, pervaporation and self-cleaning/antifouling properties with perspective to the challenges and future progress are reviewed. Lastly, the development and limitations of PRM fabrications and applications are compared to provide inclusive information for the advancement of next-generation PRMs with improved separation and filtration performance.

Abstract
Organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) plays important roles in pharmaceutical ingredients purification and solvent recovery. However, the low organic solvent permeance under cross-flow operation of OSN membrane hampers their industrial applications. Herein, we report the construction of coffee-ring structured membrane featuring high OSN permeance. A water-insoluble crystal monomer that dissolved in EtOH/H2O mixed solvent was designed to react with trimesoyl chloride via interfacial polymerization. Owing to the diffusion of EtOH to n-hexane, coffee-ring nanostructure on the support membrane appeared, which served as the template for construction of coffee-ring structured membrane. The optimal nanostructured membrane demonstrated 2.6-fold enhancement in the effective surface area with reduced membrane thickness. Resultantly, the membrane afforded a 2.7-fold enhancement in organic solvent permeance, e.g., ~13 LMH/bar for MeOH, without sacrificing the rejection ability. Moreover, due to the rigid monomer structure, the fabricated membrane shows distinctive running stability in active pharmaceutical ingredients purification and the ability for concentration of medicines.

Abstract
Graphdiyne (GDY) is a new variant of nano-carbon material with excellent chemical, physical and electronic properties. It has attracted wide attention from researchers and industrialists for its extensive role in the fields of optics, electronics, bio-medics and energy. The unique arrangement of sp-sp2 carbon atoms, linear acetylenic linkages, uniform pores and highly conjugated structure offer numerous potentials for further exploration of GDY materials. However, since the material is at its infancy, not much understanding is available regarding its properties, growth mechanism and future applications. Therefore, in this review, readers are guided through a brief discussion on GDY's properties, different synthesis procedures with a special focus on surface functionalization and a list of applications for GDY. The review also critically analyses the advantages and disadvantages of each synthesis route and emphasizes the future scope of the material.

Abstract
Designing microcapsules with a complicated functionalized shell to respond to an external stimulus has attracted much attention for triggered release; however, simplifying the synthesis process remains a significant challenge. Herein, we initially propose a novel, simple synthesis strategy that utilizes a mixed solvent as the organic phase to control the diffusion of common monomers during interfacial polymerization, resulting in the successful preparation of microcapsules with tunable thickness-to-diameter ratios (T/D). The morphology of microcapsules is confirmed by scanning electron microscopy. We also observe that the T/D of the designed microcapsules progressively increases as the diffusion of monomers occurs, and the glass transition temperature of microcapsules is controlled. Furthermore, microcapsule-based crosslinking agents are applied to investigate the crosslinking reaction of poly(vinyl chloride). Rotational rheometer results indicate that the microcapsules exhibit an excellent external stimulus response, precisely triggering release at the predetermined temperature. This simple approach for the preparation of microcapsules with tunable physical properties has great potential for triggered release in diverse applications.

Abstract
Biomimetic synthesis provides potential guidance for the synthesis of bio-nanomaterials by mimicking the structure, properties and functions of natural materials. Behavioral studies of biological surfaces with specific micro/nano structures are performed to explore the interactions of various molecules or organisms with biological surfaces. These explorations provide valuable inspiration for the development of biomimetic surfaces with similar effects. This work reviews some conventional preparation methods and functional modulation strategies for biomimetic interfaces. It aims to elucidate the important role of biomimetic interfaces with antifouling and low-pollution properties that can replace non-environmentally friendly coatings. Thus, biomimetic antifouling interfaces can be better applied in the field of marine antifouling and antimicrobial. In this review, the commonly used fabrication methods for biomimetic interfaces as well as some practical strategies for functional modulation is present in detail. These methods and strategies modify the physical structure and chemical properties of the biomimetic interfaces, thus improving the wettability, adsorption, drag reduction, etc. that they exhibit. In addition, practical applications are presented of various biomimetic interfaces for antifouling and look ahead to potential biomedical applications. By continuously discovering functional surfaces with biomimetic properties and studying their microstructure and macroscopic properties, more biomimetic interfaces will be developed.

Zhu CY, Li HN, Guo BB, Fang Y, Liu C, Yang HC, Zhang C, Liang HQ, Xu ZK. Leveraging Janus Substrates as a Confined "Interfacial Reactor" to Synthesize Ultrapermeable Polyamide Nanofilms. RESEARCH (WASHINGTON, D.C.) 2024; 7:0359. [PMID: 38694199 PMCID: PMC11062503 DOI: 10.34133/research.0359] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2024] [Accepted: 03/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/04/2024]
Abstract
Porous substrates act as open "interfacial reactors" during the synthesis of polyamide composite membranes via interfacial polymerization. However, achieving a thin and dense polyamide nanofilm with high permeance and selectivity is challenging when using a conventional substrate with uniform wettability. To overcome this limitation, we propose the use of Janus porous substrates as confined interfacial reactors to decouple the local monomer concentration from the total monomer amount during interfacial polymerization. By manipulating the location of the hydrophilic/hydrophobic interface in a Janus porous substrate, we can precisely control the monomer solution confined within the hydrophilic layer without compromising its concentration. The hydrophilic surface ensures the uniform distribution of monomers, preventing the formation of defects. By employing Janus substrates fabricated through single-sided deposition of polydopamine/polyethyleneimine, we significantly reduce the thickness of the polyamide nanofilms from 88.4 to 3.8 nm by decreasing the thickness of the hydrophilic layer. This reduction leads to a remarkable enhancement in water permeance from 7.2 to 52.0 l/m2·h·bar while still maintaining ~96% Na2SO4 rejection. The overall performance of this membrane surpasses that of most reported membranes, including state-of-the-art commercial products. The presented strategy is both simple and effective, bringing ultrapermeable polyamide nanofilms one step closer to practical separation applications.

Abstract
Developing combination chemotherapy systems with high drug loading efficiency at predetermined drug ratios to achieve a synergistic effect is important for cancer therapy. Herein, a polymeric dual-drug nanoparticle composed of a Pt(IV) prodrug derived from oxaliplatin and a mitochondria-targeting cytotoxic peptide is constructed through emulsion interfacial polymerization, which processes high drug loading efficiency and high biocompatibility. The depolymerization of polymeric dual-drug nanoparticle and the activation of Pt prodrug can be effectively triggered by the acidic tumor environment extracellularly and the high levels of glutathione intracellularly in cancer cells, respectively. The utilization of mitochondria-targeting peptide can inhibit ATP-dependent processes including drug efflux and DNA damage repair. This leads to increased accumulation of Pt-drugs within cancer cells. Eventually, the polymeric dual-drug nanoparticle demonstrates appreciable antitumor effects on both cell line derived and patient derived xenograft lung cancer model. It is highly anticipated that the polymeric dual-or multi-drug systems can be applied for combination chemotherapy to achieve enhanced anticancer activity and reduced side effects.

Abstract
Processable covalent organic framework membranes (COFM) are emerging as potential semiconducting materials for device applications. Nevertheless, the fabrication of crystalline and free-standing 3D COFMs is challenging. In this work, a unique time and solvent-efficient triple-layer-dual interfacial (TLDI) approach for the simultaneous synthesis of two 3D COFMs from a single system is developed. Besides, for the first time, the optical conductivity of these free-standing 3D COFMs is analyzed using terahertz (THz) spectroscopy in transmission mode. Interestingly, these membranes show excellent transmittance at THz frequencies with very high intrinsic THz conductivities. The evaluated scattering time and plasma frequency of the free carriers of the COFMs are highly promising for future applications in optoelectronic devices in THz frequencies.

Abstract
The conducting polymers have continuously been hybridized with their counterparts to overcome the intrinsic functional limitations compared to the metallic or inorganic analogs. Remarkably, the liquid/liquid interface-assisted methods represent an efficient and facile route for developing fully tunable metamaterials for various applications. The spontaneous adsorption of nanostructures at a quasi-two-dimensional interface is energetically favorable due to the reduction in interfacial tension, interfacial area, and interfacial energy (Helmholtz free energy). This Perspective highlights the fundamentals of nanostructure adsorption leading to hierarchical architecture generation at the interface from an experimentalist's point of view. Thereafter, the essential applications of the conducting polymer/nanocomposites synthesized at the interface emphasize the capability of the interface to tune functional materials. This Perspective also summarizes the future challenges and the use of the known fundamental aspects in overcoming the functional limitations of polymer/nanomaterial composites and also provides some future research directions.

Abstract
Bioinspired two-dimensional (2D) nanofluidic membranes have been explored for the creation of high-performance ion transport systems that can mimic the delicate transport functions of living organisms. Advanced energy devices made from these membranes show excellent energy storage and conversion capabilities. Further research and development in this area are essential to unlock the full potential of energy devices and facilitate the development of high-performance equipment toward real-world applications and a sustainable future. However, there has been minimal review and summarization of 2D nanofluidic membranes in recent years. Thus, it is necessary to carry out an extensive review to provide a survey library for researchers in related fields. In this review, the classification and the raw materials that are used to construct 2D nanofluidic membranes are first presented. Second, the top-down and bottom-up methods for constructing 2D membranes are introduced. Next, the applications of bioinspired 2D membranes in osmotic energy, hydraulic energy, mechanical energy, photoelectric conversion, lithium batteries, and flow batteries are discussed in detail. Finally, the opportunities and challenges that 2D nanofluidic membranes are likely to face in the future are envisioned. This review aims to provide a broad knowledge base for constructing high-performance bioinspired 2D nanofluidic membranes for advanced energy applications.

Abstract
A subphase exchange cell was designed to observe fluid-fluid interfaces with a conventional optical microscope while simultaneously changing the subphase chemistry. Materials including phospholipids, asphaltenes, and nanoparticles at fluid-fluid interfaces exhibit unique morphological changes as a function of the bulk-phase chemistry. These changes can affect their interfacial material properties and, ultimately, the emergent bulk material properties of the films, foams, and emulsions produced from such interfacial systems. In this work, we combine experiments, computational fluid dynamics simulations, and modeling to establish the operating parameters for a subphase exchange cell of this type to reach a desired concentration. We used the experimental setup to investigate changes to a graphene film during a common wet-etching transfer process. Observations reveal that capillary interactions can induce defects and deformations in the graphene film during the wet-etching process, an important finding that must be considered for any wet-etching transfer technique for 2D materials. More generally, conventional optical microscopy was shown to be able to image the dynamics of interfacial systems during a bulk-phase chemistry change. Potential applications for this equipment and technique include observing morphological dynamics of phospholipid film structure with subphase salinity, asphaltene film structure with subphase pH, and particle film synthesis with subphase chemistry.

Abstract
Stabilizing emulsion droplets with amphiphilic emulsifiers are the current prevailing method, but the extensive use of such amphiphilic substances has caused widespread concerns. In this Perspective, three traditional methods for the stabilization of emulsion droplets according to the type of emulsifiers used are outlined, and the emphasis is placed on the mechanism of steric hindrance for emulsion stabilization. Then, we provide a concise introduction and discussion of the fast interfacial polymerization method as a new strategy for preparing stable emulsifier-free emulsion droplets with a polymer film, including its research background, current progress, and possible development directions. It is anticipated that this paper will promote the development of emulsifier-free emulsion production via fast interfacial polymerization and other related methods.

Abstract
The potential of harnessing osmotic energy from the interaction between seawater and river water has been recognized as a promising, eco-friendly, renewable, and sustainable source of power. The reverse electrodialysis (RED) technology has gained significant interest for its ability to generate electricity by combining concentrated and diluted streams with different levels of salinity. Nanofluidic membranes with tailored ion transport dynamics enable efficient harvesting of renewable osmotic energy. In this regard, anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membranes with abundant nanochannels provide a cost-effective nanofluidic platform to obtain structures with a high density of ordered pores. AAO can be utilized in constructing asymmetric composite membranes with enhanced ion flux and selectivity to improve output power generation. In this review, we first present the fundamental structure and properties of AAO, followed by summarizing the fabrication techniques for asymmetric membranes using AAO and other nanostructured materials. Subsequently, we discuss the materials employed in constructing asymmetric structures incorporating AAO while emphasizing how material selection and design can resist and promote efficient energy conversion. Finally, we provide an outlook on future applications and address the challenges that need to be overcome for successful osmotic energy conversion.

Abstract
Janus membranes with asymmetric wettability have been considered cutting-edge for energy/environmental-sustainable applications like water/fog harvester, breathable skin, and smart sensor; however, technical challenges in fabrication and accurate regulation of asymmetric wettability limit their development. Herein, by using water-assisted hydrogen-bonded (H-bonded) assembly of small molecules at water/oil interface, a facile strategy is proposed for one-step fabrication of membranes with well-regulable asymmetric wettability. Asymmetric orderly patterns, beneficial for mass transport based on abundant high-permeability sites and large surface area, are constructed on opposite membrane surfaces. Upon tuning water-assisted H-bonding via H-sites/configuration design and temperature/pH modulation, double-hydrophobic, double-hydrophilic, and hydrophobic-hydrophilic membranes are facilely fabricated. The Janus membranes show smart vapor-responsive curling and unidirectional water transport with promising flux of 1158±25 L m-2 h-1 under natural gravity and 31500±670 L·(m-2 h-1 bar-1 ) at negative pressure. This bottom-up approach offers a feasible-to-scalable avenue to precise-manipulation of Janus membranes for advanced applications, providing an effective pathway for developing tailor-made self-assembled nanomaterials.

Abstract
Designing polymeric membranes with high solute-solute selectivity and permeance is important but technically challenging. Existing industrial interfacial polymerization (IP) process to fabricate polyamide-based polymeric membranes is largely empirical, which requires enormous trial-and-error experimentations to identify optimal fabrication conditions from a wide candidate space for separating a given solute pair. Herein, we developed a novel multitask machine learning (ML) model based on an artificial neural network (ANN) with skip connections and selectivity regularization to guide the design of polyamide membranes. We used limited sets of lab-collected data to obtain satisfactory model performance over four iterations by introducing human expert experience in the online learning process. Four membranes under fabrication conditions guided by the model exceeded the present upper bound for mono/divalent ion selectivity and permeance of the polymeric membranes. Moreover, we obtained new mechanistic insights into the membrane design through feature analysis of the model. Our work demonstrates a ML approach that represents a paradigm shift for high-performance polymeric membranes design.

Abstract
Insufficient access to clean water and resources has emerged as one of the most pressing issues affecting people globally. Membrane-based ion separation has become a focal point of research for the generation of fresh water and the extraction of energy elements. This Review encapsulates recent advancements in the selective ion transport of covalent organic framework (COF) membranes, accomplished by strategically pairing diverse monomers to create membranes with various pore sizes and environments for specific purposes. We first discuss the merits of using COF materials as a basis for fabricating membranes for ion separation. We then explore the development of COF membranes in areas such as desalination, acid recovery, and energy element extraction, with a particular emphasis on the fundamental principles of membrane design. Lastly, we address both theoretical and practical challenges, as well as potential opportunities in the targeted design of ion-selective membranes. The goal of this Review is to stimulate future investigative efforts in this field, which is of significant scientific and strategic importance.

Abstract
Interfacial polymerization is a well-known process to synthesize separation layers for thin film composite membranes at an immiscible organic liquid-aqueous liquid interface. The organic-aqueous interface determines the diffusion dynamics of monomers and the chemical environment for polymerization, exerting a critical influence on the formation of polymer thin films. This review summarizes recent advances in tailoring interfacial polymerization using interfaces beyond the conventional alkane-water interface to achieve high-performance separation films with designed structures. Diverse liquid-liquid interfaces are introduced for synthesizing separation films by adding co-solvents into the organic phase and/or the aqueous phase, respectively, or by replacing one of the liquid phases with other solvents. Innovative liquid-gel and liquid-gas interfaces are then summarized for the synthesis of polymer thin films for separation. Novel strategies to form reaction interfaces, such as spray-coating, are also presented and discussed. In addition, we discuss the details of how a physically or chemically patterned substrate affects interfacial polymerization. Finally, the potential of unconventional interfaces in interfacial polymerization is forecast with both challenges and opportunities.

Abstract
Electrochromic polymer film preparation methods such as spin coating, spray coating, and electrochemical polymerization, are commonly used. At present, developing new film preparation technology is an important aspect in the field of electrochromics. Herein, a continuous in situ self-growing method based on the chemical reaction occurring on the surface of an ITO glass between a metal oxide and organic acid groups was successfully applied to prepare electrochromic polymer films at a mild room temperature. SEM, FT-IR spectroscopy, XPS, and XRD characterization methods were combined to reveal the process and mechanism of film formation. The following notable electrochromic properties were observed: switching time within 6 s, contrast reached 35%, and minimal decrease of stability after 600 cycles. Finally, the patterned films were obtained through the directional growth of polymers in solution. This study provides an effective strategy for designing and preparing electrochromic films by self-growing methods in future applications.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), as a burgeoning class of crystalline porous materials, have made significant progress in their application to optoelectronic devices such as field-effect transistors, memristors, and photodetectors. However, the insoluble features of microcrystalline two-dimensional (2D) COF powders limit development of their thin film devices. Additionally, the exploration of spin transport properties in this category of π-conjugated skeleton materials remains vacant thus far. Herein, an imine-linked 2D Py-Np COF nanocrystalline powder was synthesized by Schiff base condensation of 4,4',4'',4'''-(pyrene-1,3,6,8-tetrayl)tetraaniline and naphthalene-2,6-dicarbaldehyde. Then, we prepared a large-scale free-standing Py-Np COF film via a top-down strategy of chemically assisted acid exfoliation. Moreover, high-quality COF films acted as active layers were transferred onto ferromagnetic La0.67 Sr0.33 MnO3 (LSMO) electrodes for the first attempt to fabricate organic spin valves (OSVs) based on 2D COF materials. This COF-based OSV device with a configuration of LSMO/Py-Np COF/Co/Au demonstrated a remarkable magnetoresistance (MR) value up to -26.5 % at 30 K. Meanwhile, the MR behavior of the COF-based OSVs exhibited a highly temperature dependence and operational stability. This work highlights the enormous application prospects of 2D COFs in organic spintronics and provides a promising approach for developing electronic and spintronic devices based on acid-exfoliated COF thin films.

Abstract
Compared to the enormous number of nanostructures that have been documented, the variety of nanostructures produced by organic polymerization is rather limited. We devised an unconventional route and a sustainable approach to distribute tellurium nanoparticles (Te NPs) in a poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene) (PEDOT) matrix to form semiconducting organic-inorganic nanocomposites for potential applications in electrochemical sensing. The adopted strategy of in situ liquid/liquid interface-assisted polymerization aids in the formation of intimately tethered Te NPs on the PEDOT polymer chains, thereby preventing the aggregation of Te NPs. The untapped versatility inherent to using biphasic systems for interfacial polymerization is explored at three interface systems of immiscible solvents: chloroform/water, dichloromethane/water, and hexane/water, giving rise to PEDOT/Te nanocomposite (PTeNC) of distinct morphology. Chemical nature, crystallinity, and morphology investigations proved the successful formation of PTeNC in different interface systems. Consequently, the temporal evolution of interfacial tension in the preferential adsorption of nanoparticles and final product morphology was monitored by pendant drop tensiometry. Owing to the role of morphology, PTeNC synthesized at the hexane/water interface showcased the best electrocatalytic behavior toward nonenzymatic detection of l-ascorbic acid, an essential nutritional factor, and a neuromodulator with a limit of detection of 0.66 μM and excellent sensitivity, selectivity, and reproducibility. Hence, we envision that interface-assisted polymerization offers a nascent and robust strategy for encapsulating unusual electrode materials in polymeric matrices.

Abstract
Water shortages are one of the problems caused by global industrialization, with most wastewater discharged without proper treatment, leading to contamination and limited clean water supply. Therefore, it is important to identify alternative water sources because many concerns are directed toward sustainable water treatment processes. Nanofiltration membrane technology is a membrane integrated with nanoscale particle size and is a superior technique for heavy metal removal in the treatment of polluted water. The fabrication of nanofiltration membranes involves phase inversion and interfacial polymerization. This review provides a comprehensive outline of how nanoparticles can effectively enhance the fabrication, separation potential, and efficiency of NF membranes. Nanoparticles take the form of nanofillers, nanoembedded membranes, and nanocomposites to give multiple approaches to the enhancement of the NF membrane's performance. This could significantly improve selectivity, fouling resistance, water flux, porosity, roughness, and rejection. Nanofillers can form nanoembedded membranes and thin films through various processes such as in situ polymerization, layer-by-layer assembly, blending, coating, and embedding. We discussed the operational conditions, such as pH, temperature, concentration of the feed solution, and pressure. The mitigation strategies for fouling resistance are also highlighted. Recent developments in commercial nanofiltration membranes have also been highlighted.

Abstract
Due to the minimization of interface area caused by surface tension, the stabilization of liquid in complex and precise nonequilibrium shapes is challenging. In this work, a simple, surfactant-free, and covalent strategy to stabilize liquid in precise nonequilibrium shapes via fast interfacial polymerization (FIP) of highly reactive n-butyl cyanoacrylate (BCA) monomer triggered by water-soluble nucleophiles is described. Full interfacial coverage can be achieved instantly, and the resultant polyBCA film anchored at the interface can support the unequal interface stress, which allows the production of non-spherical droplets with complex shapes. Notably, the formulation of internal aqueous phase is nearly unaffected since no specific additive is required. Moreover, considering the excellent biocompatibility of BCA and polyBCA, the produced droplets can be used as micro-bioreactor for enzyme catalysis and even bacterial culture, which well mimic the morphology of cells and bacteria to achieve the biochemical reaction in non-spherical droplets. The present work not only opens a new sight for the stabilization of liquid in nonequilibrium shapes, but may also promote the development of synthetic biology based on non-spherical droplets, and tremendous potential applications are anticipated.

Abstract
Interfacial polymerization (IP) and self-assembly are two thermodynamically different processes involving an interface in their systems. When the two systems are incorporated, the interface will exhibit extraordinary characteristics and generate structural and morphological transformation. In this work, an ultrapermeable polyamide (PA) reverse osmosis (RO) membrane with crumpled surface morphology and enlarged free volume was fabricated via IP reaction with the introduction of self-assembled surfactant micellar system. The mechanisms of the formation of crumpled nanostructures were elucidated via multiscale simulations. The electrostatic interactions among m-phenylenediamine (MPD) molecules, surfactant monolayer and micelles, lead to disruption of the monolayer at the interface, which in turn shapes the initial pattern formation of the PA layer. The interfacial instability brought about by these molecular interactions promotes the formation of crumpled PA layer with larger effective surface area, facilitating the enhanced water transport. This work provides valuable insights into the mechanisms of the IP process and is fundamental for exploring high-performance desalination membranes.

Abstract
Anti-dehydration hydrogels have attracted considerable attention due to their promising applications in stretchable sensors, flexible electronics, and soft robots. However, anti-dehydration hydrogels prepared by conventional strategies inevitably depend on additional chemicals or suffer from cumbersome preparation processes. Here, inspired by the succulent Fenestraria aurantiaca a one-step wetting-enabled three-dimensional interfacial polymerization (WET-DIP) strategy for constructing organogel-sealed anti-dehydration hydrogels is developed. By virtue of the preferential wetting on the hydrophobic-oleophilic substrate surfaces, the organogel precursor solution can spread on the three-dimensional (3D) surface and encapsulate the hydrogel precursor solution, forming anti-dehydration hydrogel with 3D shape after in situ interfacial polymerization. The WET-DIP strategy is simple and ingenious, and accessible to discretionary 3D-shaped anti-dehydration hydrogels with a controllable thickness of the organogel outer layer. Strain sensors based on this anti-dehydration hydrogel also exhibit long-term stability in signal monitoring. This WET-DIP strategy shows great potentialities for constructing hydrogel-based devices with long-term stability.

Abstract
The foliar loss of pesticides causes serious utilization decline and environmental risk. On the basis of biomimetics, pesticide-loaded microcapsules (MCs) with spontaneous deformation on foliar micro/nanostructures, like the snail suction cup, are prepared by interfacial polymerization. By controlling the usage or types of small alcohols in the MC preparation system, the flexibility of MCs is tunable. Through the investigation of emulsions and MC structures, we discover that the migration and distribution of small alcohols driven by amphiphilicity affect the process of interfacial polymerization between polyethylene glycol and 4,4-methylenediphenyl diisocyanate. By hydrophobic modification of the polymer and competition for oil monomers of small alcohols, the thickness and compactness of shells are reduced, whereas the density of the core is increased. As a result of the regulation in structures, the flexibility of MCs is improved significantly. In particularly, the MCs-N-pentanol (0.1 mol kg-1) with the best flexibility show strong scouring resistance on varied foliar structures, sustained release property on the air/solid interface, and persistent control effect against foliar diseases. The pesticide-loaded soft MCs provide an effective way to improve pesticide foliar utilization.

Abstract
It is challenging to find a conventional nanofabrication technique that can consistently produce soft polymeric matter of high surface area and nanoscale morphology in a way that is scalable, versatile, and easily tunable. Here, the capabilities of a universal method for fabricating diverse nano- and micro-scale morphologies based on polymer precipitation templated by the fluid streamlines in multiphasic flow are explored. It is shown that while the procedure is operationally simple, various combinations of its intertwined mechanisms can controllably and reproducibly lead to the formation of an extraordinary wide range of colloidal morphologies. By systematically investigating the process conditions, 12 distinct classes of polymer micro- and nano-structures including particles, rods, ribbons, nanosheets, and soft dendritic colloids (dendricolloids) are identified. The outcomes are interpreted by delineating the physical processes into three stages: hydrodynamic shear, capillary and mechanical breakup, and polymer precipitation rate. The insights into the underlying fundamental mechanisms provide guidance toward developing a versatile and scalable nanofabrication platform. It is verified that the liquid shear-based technique is versatile and works well with many chemically diverse polymers and biopolymers, showing potential as a universal tool for simple and scalable nanofabrication of many morphologically distinct soft matter classes.

Abstract
A series of cyclomatrix polyphosphazene films have been prepared by nonaqueous interfacial polymerization (IP) of small aromatic hydroxyl compounds in a potassium hydroxide dimethylsulfoxide solution and hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene in cyclohexane on top of ceramic supports. Via the amount of dissolved potassium hydroxide, the extent of deprotonation of the aromatic hydroxyl compounds can be changed, in turn affecting the molecular structure and permselective properties of the thin polymer networks ranging from hydrogen/oxygen barriers to membranes with persisting hydrogen permselectivities at high temperatures. Barrier films are obtained with a high potassium hydroxide concentration, revealing permeabilities as low as 9.4 × 10-17 cm3 cm cm-2 s-1 Pa-1 for hydrogen and 1.1 × 10-16 cm3 cm cm-2 s-1 Pa-1 for oxygen. For films obtained with a lower concentration of potassium hydroxide, single gas permeation experiments reveal a molecular sieving behavior, with a hydrogen permeance of around 10-8 mol m-2 s-1 Pa-1 and permselectivities of H2/N2 (52.8), H2/CH4 (100), and H2/CO2 (10.1) at 200 °C.

Abstract
The rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoTs) and proliferation of wearable electronics have significantly stimulated the pursuit of distributed power supply systems that are small and light. Accordingly, micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) have recently attracted tremendous research interest due to their high power density, good energy density, long cycling life, and rapid charge/discharge rate delivered in a limited volume and area. As an emerging class of electrochemical energy storage devices, MSCs using polyaniline (PANI) electrodes are envisaged to bridge the gap between carbonaceous MSCs and micro-batteries, leading to a high power density together with improved energy density. However, despite the intensive development of PANI-based MSCs in the past few decades, a comprehensive review focusing on the chemical properties and synthesis of PANI, working mechanisms, design principles, and electrochemical performances of MSCs is lacking. Thus, herein, we summarize the recent advances in PANI-based MSCs using a wide range of electrode materials. Firstly, the fundamentals of MSCs are outlined including their working principle, device design, fabrication technology, and performance metrics. Then, the working principle and synthesis methods of PANI are discussed. Afterward, MSCs based on various PANI materials including pure PANI, PANI hydrogel, and PANI composites are discussed in detail. Lastly, concluding remarks and perspectives on their future development are presented. This review can present new ideas and give rise to new opportunities for the design of high-performance miniaturized PANI-based MSCs that underpin the sustainable prosperity of the approaching IoTs era.

Abstract
Reactions at interfaces between fluid phases are widely used to synthesize small molecules, polymers, and nanoparticles. In situ monitoring of the underlying dynamic reaction pathways remains challenging. Liquid crystals (LCs) have been used to detect simple chemical transformations at interfaces in situations where interface-bound reactants and products trigger distinct equilibrium orientations of LCs. However, whether or not LCs can be used to report complex reaction pathways via nonequilibrium states generated by reactions has not been explored. Here we explore this question using SN2' nucleophilic substitution reactions that involve a synthetic amphiphile and a series of amine-based nucleophiles with one to four reaction sites. Although all reactants and products generate the same equilibrium LC orientation, we find that each nucleophile defines a distinct set of possible reaction pathways with a characteristic spatial and temporal LC optical response unique to the nucleophile. Additional experiments reveal that the nonequilibrium orientational states of the LCs arise from a combination of dynamic interfacial processes that include adsorption/desorption of reactants, the presence of reaction intermediates on the LC interface, and the generation of interfacial tension gradients (Marangoni stresses). Overall, our results reveal that the spatiotemporal optical outputs of LCs ("optical fingerprints") can be a rich source of information regarding interfacial reactions.

Abstract
Strong adhesion of hydrogels on solids plays an important role in stable working for various practical applications. However, current hydrogel adhesion suffers from poor interfacial bonding with solid surfaces. Here, we propose a general superwetting-assisted interfacial polymerization (SAIP) strategy to robustly anchor hydrogels onto solids by forming high-density interfacial covalent bonds. The key of our strategy is to make the initiator fully contact solid surfaces via a superwetting way for enhancing the interfacial grafting efficiency. The designed anchored hydrogels show strong bulk failure with a high breaking strength of ≈1.37 MPa, different from weak interfacial failure that occurs in traditional strategies. The strong interfacial adhesion greatly enhances the stability of hydrogels against swelling destruction. This work opens up new inspirations for designing strongly anchored hydrogels from an interfacial chemistry perspective.

Abstract
There is a growing interest in advanced materials that can effectively treat wastewater contaminated with radioactive cesium (137Cs), which is an extremely hazardous material. Here, we report a new class of Cs-adsorptive membranes compactly assembled with Cs-adsorptive Prussian blue (PB) particles. The PB particle assembly was formed via an in-situ interfacial reaction between two PB precursors in the presence of tannic acid (TA) as a binder on a porous support. While the interfacial reaction enabled the formation of a defect-less PB network, TA enhanced the PB-PB and PB-support compatibilities, consequently producing a uniform, densely packed PB assembly near the support surface. The fabricated TA-assisted PB membrane (PB/TA-M) synergistically rejected Cs via a combination of adsorption and membrane filtration, although adsorption predominantly determined Cs rejection initially. Hence, the PB/TA-M membrane showed considerably higher Cs removal performance than commercial nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) polyamide (PA) membranes for a sufficiently long operation time. Furthermore, the PB/TA-M membrane displayed excellent radioactive 137Cs removal performance, significantly exceeding those of commercial NF and RO PA membranes due to its higher radiation stability, indicating its viability for application in treating actual radioactive wastewater.

Abstract
Ultrathin polymeric films have recently attracted tremendous interest as functional components of coatings, separation membranes, and sensors, with applications spanning from environment-related processes to soft robotics and wearable devices. In order to support the development of robust devices with advanced performances, it is necessary to achieve a deep comprehension of the mechanical properties of ultrathin polymeric films, which can be significantly affected by confinement effects at the nanoscale. In this review paper, we collect the most recent advances in the development of ultrathin organic membranes with emphasis on the relationship between their structure and mechanical properties. We provide the reader with a critical overview of the main approaches for the preparation of ultrathin polymeric films, the methodologies for the investigation of their mechanical properties, and models to understand the primary effects that impact their mechanical response, followed by a discussion on the current trends for designing mechanically robust organic membranes.

Abstract
Covalent organic framework (COF) membranes have shown enormous potential for molecular separation due to their large surface areas and pre-designable structures. However, the mild and convenient preparation of COF membranes with high crystallinity has remained a significant challenge. In this work, we reported on a facile liquid-liquid interfacial polymerization method to fabricate self-standing imine-based COF membranes with excellent crystallinity and a tunable thickness at room temperature. Polymerization was confined at the immiscible organic solvent-water interface when the monomers in the dichloromethane met the catalyst aqueous solution. This unique design concept exploited the rapid formation of COF monolayers at the liquid-liquid interface to control catalyst diffusion and structural rearrangement, achieving high crystallinity of the COF membrane. Moreover, the thickness of the self-standing COF membranes could be regulated from 50 nm to 1 μm through the flexible regulation of the growth process. Benefiting from the large surface area of the COF membranes (378 m2/g) and the intensive π-π conjugate effect between the COFs and organic dyes, the obtained COF membranes exhibited high adsorption capacities toward Chrome Black T and Rose Bengal. This work may open a viable avenue to easily and mildly prepare COF membranes for water treatment.

Abstract
Aqueous two-phase system features with ultralow interfacial tension and thick interfacial region, affording unique confined space for membrane assembly. Here, for the first time, an aqueous two-phase interfacial assembly method is proposed to fabricate covalent organic framework (COF) membranes. The aqueous solution containing polyethylene glycol and dextran undergoes segregated phase separation into two water-rich phases. By respectively distributing aldehyde and amine monomers into two aqueous phases, a series of COF membranes are fabricated at water-water interface. The resultant membranes exhibit high NaCl rejection of 93.0-93.6% and water permeance reaching 1.7-3.7 L m-2 h-1 bar-1, superior to most water desalination membranes. Interestingly, the interfacial tension is found to have pronounced effect on membrane structures. The appropriate interfacial tension range (0.1-1.0 mN m-1) leads to the tight and intact COF membranes. Furthermore, the method is extended to the fabrication of other COF and metal-organic polymer membranes. This work is the first exploitation of fabricating membranes in all-aqueous system, confering a green and generic method for advanced membrane manufacturing.
