Abstract
COVID-19 forced the human population to rethink its way of living. The threat posed by the potential spread of the virus via an airborne transmission mode through ventilation systems in buildings and enclosed spaces has been recognized as a major concern. To mitigate this threat, researchers have explored different technologies and methods that can remove or decrease the concentration of the virus in ventilation systems and enclosed spaces. Although many technologies and methods have already been researched, some are currently available on the market, but their effectiveness and safety concerns have not been fully investigated. To acquire a broader view and collective perspective of the current research and development status, this paper discusses a comprehensive review of various workable technologies and methods to combat airborne viruses, e.g., COVID-19, in ventilation systems and enclosed spaces. These technologies and methods include an increase in ventilation, high-efficiency air filtration, ionization of the air, environmental condition control, ultraviolet germicidal irradiation, non-thermal plasma and reactive oxygen species, filter coatings, chemical disinfectants, and heat inactivation. Research gaps have been identified and discussed, and recommendations for applying such technologies and methods have also been provided in this article.

Abstract
Janus particles contain two or more chemical properties typically on opposing faces. With various property combinations possible, there are several potential applications, such as surfactants and drug delivery. However, scaling up the particle production process at reasonable cost is a limiting factor, and the method reported here aims to circumvent this issue. The process is based on a top-down destructive strategy that consists of two steps. Photocatalytic titanium dioxide particles prefunctionalized with a surface coating were assembled as particle films via spin-coating on a substrate. The particle films were placed directly under an ultraviolet light source, which induced the photodegradation of the surface coating only on the particle surfaces exposed to the light. The generated Janus particles were amphiphobic-amphiphilic in character. The Janus particles had a theoretical Janus balance close to ideal and remained attached at a hexane/water interface after disruption. They were able to make Pickering emulsions of water in silicone oil with a low energy input. The reported method may be easily scaled up to facilitate the production of gram-scale yields. The use of UV is clean and efficient and can be applied to semiconductor particles with surface coatings that are susceptible to photodegradation, making this method highly versatile.

Abstract
Collecting water from fog flow has emerged as a promising strategy for the relief of water shortage problems. Herein, using a UV-induced (ultraviolet light induced) controllable diffusion method combined with technology of three-dimensional (3D) printing, we fabricate biomimetic materials incorporating beetle-like hydrophobic-hydrophilic character and cactus-like cone arrays with various structure parameters, and then systematically study their fog-harvesting performance. The UV-induced controllable diffusion method can break away from the photomask to regulate the hybrid wettability. Moreover, employing 3D printing technology can flexibly control the structure parameters to improve the water collection efficiency. It is found that the water collection rate (WCR) can be optimized by controlling the hybrid wettability of the sample surface and cone distance and using substrates with printed holes, which lead to a 109% increase of WCR.

Abstract
Recently, bioaerosols, including the 2019 novel coronavirus, pose a serious threat to global public health. Herein, we introduce a visible-light-activated (VLA) antimicrobial air filter functionalized with titanium dioxide (TiO2)-crystal violet (CV) nanocomposites facilitating abandoned visible light from sunlight or indoor lights. The TiO2-CV based VLA antimicrobial air filters exhibit a potent inactivation rate of ∼99.98% and filtration efficiency of ∼99.9% against various bioaerosols. Under visible-light, the CV is involved in overall inactivation by inducing reactive oxygen species production both directly (CV itself) and indirectly (in combination with TiO2). Moreover, the susceptibility of the CV to humidity was significantly improved by forming a hydrophobic molecular layer on the TiO2 surface, highlighting its potential applicability in real environments such as exhaled or humid air. We believe this work can open a new avenue for designing and realizing practical antimicrobial technology using ubiquitous visible-light energy against the threat of infectious bioaerosols.

Abstract
The interface between the reinforcement and surrounding matrix in a fibrous composite is decisive and critical for maintaining component performance, durability, and mechanical structure properties for load coupling assessment, especially for highly flexible composite materials. The clear trend towards tailored solutions reveals that an in-depth knowledge on surface treating methods to enhance the fiber–matrix interfacial interaction and adhesion properties for an optimized load transfer needs to be ensured. This research aims to quantify the effect of several surface treatments for glass fibers applied in endless fiber-reinforced elastomers with pronounced high deformations. Due to this, the glass fiber surface is directly modified with selected sizings, using a wet chemical treatment, and characterized according to chemical and mechanical aspects. For this purpose, the interfacial adhesion performance between fibers and the surrounding matrix material is investigated by a modified fiber pull-out device. The results clearly show that an optimized surface treatment improves the interface strength and chemical bonding significantly. The fiber pull-out test confirms that an optimized fiber–matrix interface can be enhanced up to 85% compared to standard surface modifications, which distinctly provides the basis of enhanced performances on the component level. These findings were validated by chemical analysis methods and corresponding optical damage analysis.

Abstract
Poor ultraviolet (UV) resistance and good hydrophilicity lead to light aging of aramid fabrics and cause heat damage to the human body. This scenario occurs when the absorbed water by the fabric evaporates and forms high-temperature water vapor in a high-temperature fire environment, which may scald the human body. Herein, a superhydrophobic hollow TNT network structure was built on surfaces of aramid fibers by surface coating fluorinated TiO2 nanotubes (TNTs) to develop an air-permeable, UV-protective, and superhydrophobic coating. The as-prepared superhydrophobic aramid fabric exhibited highly superhydrophobic properties against various solutions of sauce, coffee, methylene blue, active red, Au nanoparticles, Ag nanoparticles, HCl, and NaOH with liquid contact angles up to 152-160°. In addition, the superhydrophobic fabric exhibited excellent UV aging resistance (UV protection factor was 100+; 74.58% of strength retention for 24 h of UV radiation compared with 55.15% of untreated fabric), a self-cleaning function against solid soil, and original wearing characteristics, including good breaking strength and air permeability. The developed superhydrophobic coating technology may promote practical application in high-temperature environments for aramid fabrics due to its good UV resistance, chemical resistance, poromericity, superhydrophobicity, anti-fouling, and self-cleaning properties.

Abstract
Enhanced and selective photocatalytic oxidation of nonylphenol (NP), a typical hydrophobic endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), was realized on hydrophobic titanium dioxide nanotubes (H-TiO2NTs), which was fabricated by an electrochemical anodization method, followed by grafting of perfluorooctyl groups. The water contact angle of catalyst surface changed from 21.1° to 128.4° after hydrophobic modification. H-TiO2NTs showed excellent photocatalytic oxidation performance for NP, that it was completely converted in 40 min under irradiation, which was improved for about 17% compared with the hydrophilic TiO2NTs. The enhanced photocatalytic performance of H-TiO2NTs was attributed to the stronger adsorption ability toward NP identified by ATR-FTIR, with an initial adsorption rate of 4 times as higher as that of bare TiO2NTs. Meanwhile, the hydrophobic surface of H-TiO2NTs was beneficial for generation of more hydroxyl radicals. The apparent rate constant of hydroxyl radicals' generation on H-TiO2NTs, which was the main oxidizing species, could reach 1.83 times that of the hydrophilic TiO2NTs. Both the two factors contributed to the successful competition of NP against the coexistent hydrophilic contaminates in the adsorption and oxidation on the catalyst surface, leading to the selective removal of NP in mixed systems finally.

Abstract
For the fulfilment of increasing global demand and associated challenges related to the supply of clean-and-safe water, PV has been considered as one of the most attractive and promising areas in desalinating salty-water of varied salinities. In pervaporative desalination, the sustainability, endurance, and structural features of membrane, along with operating parameters, play the dominant roles and impart paramount impact in governing the overall PV efficiency. Indeed, polymeric- and organic-membranes suffer from several drawbacks, including inferior structural stability and durability, whereas the fabrication of purely inorganic membranes is complicated and costly. Therefore, recent development on the high-performance and cost-friendly PV membrane is mostly concentrated on synthesizing composite- and NCP-membranes possessing the advantages of both organic- and inorganic-membranes. This review reflects the insights into the physicochemical properties and fabrication approaches of different classes of PV membranes, especially composite- and NCP-membranes. The mass transport mechanisms interrelated to the specialized structural features have been discussed. Additionally, the performance potential and application prospects of these membranes in a wide spectrum of desalination and wastewater treatment have been elaborated. Finally, the challenges and future perspectives have been identified in developing and scaling up different high-performance membranes suitable for broader commercial applications.

Abstract
Biofluid analysis by surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is usually hindered by nonspecific interferences. It is challenging to drive targeted molecules towards sensitive areas with specific capture and quantitative recognition in complex biofluids. Herein, a highly specific and quantitative SERS analyzer for small molecule dopamine (DA) in serum is demonstrated on a portable Raman device by virtue of a transducer of mercaptophenylboronic acid (MPBA) and a site-directed decoration of plasmonic Ag dendrites on a superhydrophobic surface. Theoretical simulations of molecular vibrations and charge distributions demonstrate the predomination of Raman surface selection rules in molecular reorientation upon the binding of DA. This recognition event is translated into ratiometric changes in the spectral profile which evidences excellent capability on SERS quantitation. The rules can well distinguish DA from its common interferents including fructose, glucose, sucrose and ascorbic acid which all generate weak but completely opposite spectral changes. Moreover, benefitting from the wettability difference, the target DA in diluted serum can be specifically enriched on a transducer-capped Ag surface, and the adsorption of other interferences is resisted by superhydrophobic features. It paves a new way for labelling a single SERS tag to simultaneously realize the identification and quantification of small molecules in complex biological media.

Abstract
It has been a big challenge to separate oil slicks from oil-polluted water sources efficiently and in an environmentally friendly way. Three-dimensional (3D) hydrophobic and superoleophilic materials have great potential in water separation continually. In this study, we developed a facile two-step strategy for fixing functionalized nanoparticles on 3D complex macroscopic surfaces. By using commercial glue to immobilize different types of nanoparticles on the surfaces of various 3D objects, superhydrophobic copper foam, cotton wool, and polyurethane (PU) sponge with strong stability and excellent performance were prepared. Owing to flexible fixing with the glue, the prepared PU sponge remained superhydrophobic after 950 mechanical compression cycles, 250 cycles of absorption/squeezing, or soaking in n-dodecane for 60 h. The prepared PU sponge was applied to the rapid absorption of clean oil on a water surface, and the feasibility of separating mixed oil through capillary separation of cavernous bodies was examined. Furthermore, the method for loading nanoparticles onto a 3D structure can be used with many self-cleaning, flexible electrodes and catalysts.

Abstract
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles were prepared by the sol-gel method at different pH values (3.2-6.8) with a hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution. Raw samples were calcined at 500 °C for 2 h. The effects of pH on the structural, morphological and optical properties of TiO2 nanoparticles were investigated. At pH 4.4-6.8, only the anatase phase of TiO2 was observed. Under strong acidic condition at pH 3.2 rutile, brookite and anatase co-exist, but rutile is the predominant phase. The strain value increased and the crystallite size decreased as the HCl content increased. The increased crystallite sizes in the range 21-24 nm and enhanced blue emission intensity around 432 nm was obtained for the sample at pH 5.0. Experimental results showed that TiO2 nanoparticles synthesized at pH 5.0 exhibited the best luminescence property with pure anatase phase.

Abstract
Multifunctional coatings are in urgent demand in emerging fields. In this work, nanocomposite coatings with extraordinary self-cleaning, antiwear, and anticorrosion properties were prepared on aluminum substrate by a facile spraying technique. Core-shell structured polyaniline/functionalized carbon nanotubes (PANI/fCNTs) composite and nanosized silica were synergistically integrated into ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) matrix to construct lotus-leaf-like structures, and 1H,1H,2H,2H- perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane (POTS) was used to decrease the surface energy. The composite coating with 6 wt % PANI/fCNTs possesses superamphiphobic property, with contact angles of 167°, 163°, and 159° toward water, glycerol, and ethylene glycol, respectively. This coating demonstrates stable nonwetting performance over a wide temperature range (<400 °C), as well as outstanding self-cleaning ability to prevent contamination by sludge, concentrated H2SO4, and ethylene glycol. Superamphiphobic surface property could be maintained even after 45 000 times abrasion or bending test for 30 times. The coating displayed strong adhesive ability (grade 1 according to the GB/T9286) on the etched aluminum plate. The superamphiphobic surface could be retained after immersion in 1 mol/L HCl and 3.5 wt % NaCl solutions for 60 and 90 d, respectively. It should be noted that this coating reveals significantly improved anticorrosion performance as compared to the bare ETFE coating and ETFE composite coating without PANI/fCNTs. Such coatings with integrated functionalities offer promising self-cleaning and anticorrosion applications under erosive/abrasive environment.
