Abstract
Increasing levels of boron in water exceeding acceptable thresholds have triggered concerns regarding environmental pollution and adverse health effects. In response, significant efforts are being made to develop new adsorbents for the removal of boron from contaminated water. Among the various materials proposed, inorganic adsorbents have emerged as promising materials due to their chemical, thermal, and mechanical stability. This review aims to comprehensively examine recent advances made in the development of inorganic adsorbents for the efficient removal of boron from water. Firstly, the adsorption performance of the most used adsorbents, such as magnesium, iron, aluminum, and individual and mixed oxides, are summarized. Subsequently, diverse functionalization methods aimed at enhancing boron adsorption capacity and selectivity are carefully analyzed. Lastly, challenges and future perspectives in this field are highlighted to guide the development of innovative high-performance adsorbents and adsorption systems, ultimately leading to a reduction in boron pollution.

Abstract
Thanks to a bottom-up design of metals and organic ligands, the library of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has seen a conspicuous growth. Post-synthetically modified MOFs comprise a relatively smaller subset of this library. Whereas the approach of post-synthetic modification was seminally introduced for MOFs in the early 1990s, the earliest examples of post-synthetically modified MOFs are only congruous with adsorption and catalysis. The utility of PSM-derived MOFs for the sensing and capture of water contaminants is relatively niche. Arguably though, an increasing number of post-synthetically modified MOFs are finding relevance in the context of water pollutant remediation. In this article, we review the recent advances in this area and propose a structure-function relationship-guided blueprint for the future outlook.

Abstract
Excess boron in water could result in a critical hazard to plants and humans. Traditional treatment approaches cannot efficiently remove boron from water, especially during seawater desalination using reverse osmosis technology. Achieving satisfactory adsorption capacity and rate for boron remains an unmet goal for decades. Herein, we report cellulose-derived polyols as high-performance adsorbents that can rapidly remove boron and organic pollutants from water. Cellulose-derived polyols were synthesized from saccharides and cellulose via controlled radical polymerization and click reaction. Remarkably, CA@NMDG can adsorb boron with an astonishing capacity of ~34 mg g-1 in 10 min, which surpasses all those cellulose-based materials reported thus far, meanwhile, much faster than those of commercial adsorption resin. Moreover, cellulose-derived polyols also showed high removal efficiencies (70-98% in several minutes) toward certain organic pollutants, including Congo red and Reactive Blue 19. The water-insoluble characteristic of cellulose-derived polyols is advantageous to be separated from the treated sewage after adsorption for reuse. This work provides a novel insight into the fabrication of safe, fast, and high-capacity cellulose adsorbents for water purification.

Abstract
The anthropogenic emission of boron to river has become a serious problem that deteriorates the water quality and endangers the ecosystem. Although boron is a micronutrient, it is toxic to plants, animals and humans upon exposure. In this review, we first present the sources of the boron-containing streams and their composition, and then summarize the recent progress of boron removal methods based on adsorption and coagulation systematically. The boron-spiked streams are produced from coal-fired and geothermal power plants, the manufacturing and the activities of oil/gas excavation and mining. The adsorbents for boron removal are classified into the ones functionalized by chelating groups, the ones on the basis of clays or metal oxide. Three subgroups reside in the coagulation approach: electrocoagulation, chemical precipitation and chemical oxo-precipitation. The hybrid technology that combines membrane process and adsorption/coagulation was covered as well. To provide a comprehensive view of each method, we addressed the reaction mechanism, specified the strength and weakness and summarized the progress in the past 5 years. Ultimately, the prospective for future research and the possible improvement on applicability and recyclability were proposed.

Abstract
The metal corrosion possesses a serious threat to the safety and loss of property. The anticorrosion study on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) remains rarely reported. Therefore, it is desirable to build MOFs-based anticorrosion coating with long-term corrosion resistance. Herein, we prepared a novel MOF-polymer anticorrosion composite PANI@MIL-101 by encapsulating polyaniline (PANI) within the pores of MIL-101 with in-situ polymerization of aniline monomer. The N2 adsorption-desorption and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of PANI@MIL-101 illustrate that PANI is successfully encapsulated in the pores of MIL-101 with in-situ polymerization. PANI@MIL-101 was dispersed in epoxy resin (EP) to prepare anti-corrosive coatings. The Tafel potentiodynamic polarization measurements and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy show that PANI@MIL-101/EP coating system has superior corrosion protection with the lowest icorr value and the highest |Z|0.01 value compared with MIL-101/EP coating, PANI/EP coating and EP coating. A possible anticorrosion mechanism of PANI@MIL-101 was discussed. This work reveals that MOF-polymer composite materials are superb candidates for high-performance corrosion protection.

Abstract
Canonical molecular dynamics simulations are performed to investigate the behavior of single-chain and multiple-chain poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) contained within a cubic framework spanned by polyethylene (PE) chains. This simple model is the first of its kind to study the chemical physics of polymer-threaded organic frameworks, which are materials with potential applications in catalysis and separation processes. For a single-chain 9-mer, 14-mer, and 18-mer in a small framework, the PEG will interact strongly with the framework and assume a more linear geometry chain with an increased radius of gyration Rg compared to that of a large framework. The interaction between PEG and the framework decreases with increasing mesh size in both vacuum and water. In the limit of a framework with an infinitely large cavity (infinitely long linkers), PEG behavior approaches simulation results without a framework. The solvation of PEG is simulated by adding explicit TIP3P water molecules to a 6-chain PEG 14-mer aggregate confined in a framework. The 14-mer chains are readily solvated and leach out of a large 2.6 nm mesh framework. There are fewer water-PEG interactions in a small 1.0 nm mesh framework, as indicated by a smaller number of hydrogen bonds. The PEG aggregate, however, still partially dissolves but is retained within the 1.0 nm framework. The preliminary results illustrate the effectiveness of the simple model in studying polymer-threaded framework materials and in optimizing polymer or framework parameters for high performance.
