Abstract
The efficient removal of radioactive uranium from aqueous solution is of great significance for the safe and sustainable development of nuclear power. An ultrathin 2D metal-organic framework (MOF) nanosheet with cavity structures was elaborately fabricated based on a calix[4]arene ligand. Incorporating the permanent cavity structures on MOF nanosheet can fully utilize its structural characteristics of largely exposed surface area and accessible adsorption sites in pollutant removal, achieving ultrafast adsorption kinetics, and the functionalized cavity structure would endow the MOF nanosheets with the ability to achieve preconcentration and extraction of uranium from aqueous solution, affording ultrahigh removal efficiency even in ultra-low concentrations. Thus, more than 97% uranium can be removed from the concentration range of 50-500 µg L-1 within 5 min. Moreover, the 2D nano-material exhibits ultra-high anti-interference ability, which can efficiently remove uranium from groundwater and seawater. The adsorption mechanism was investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) analysis, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, which revealed that the cavity structure plays an important role in uranium capture. This study not only realizes highly efficient uranium removal from aqueous solution but also opens the door to achieving ultrathin MOF nanosheets with cavity structures, which will greatly expand the applications of MOF nanosheets.

Abstract
Enhanced bioenergy anabolism through transmembrane redox reactions in artificial systems remains a great challenge. Here, we explore synthetic electron shuttle to activate transmembrane chemo-enzymatic cascade reactions in a mitochondria-like nanoarchitecture for augmenting bioenergy anabolism. In this nanoarchitecture, a dendritic mesoporous silica microparticle as inner compartment possesses higher load capacity of NADH as proton source and allows faster mass transfer. In addition, the outer compartment ATP synthase-reconstituted proteoliposomes. Like natural enzymes in the mitochondrion respiratory chain, a small synthetic electron shuttle embedded in the lipid bilayer facilely mediates transmembrane redox reactions to convert NADH into NAD+ and a proton. These facilitate an enhanced outward proton gradient to drive ATP synthase to rotate for catalytic ATP synthesis with improved performance in a sustainable manner. This work opens a new avenue to achieve enhanced bioenergy anabolism by utilizing a synthetic electron shuttle and tuning inner nanostructures, holding great promise in wide-range ATP-powered bioapplications.

Abstract
We demonstrate that ATP synthase-reconstituted proteoliposome coatings on the surface of microcapsules can realize photozyme-catalyzed oxidative phosphorylation. The microcapsules were assembled through layer-by-layer deposition of semiconducting graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) nanosheets and polyelectrolytes. It is found that electrons from polyelectrolytes are transferred to g-C3N4 nanosheets, which enhances the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. Thus, the encapsulated g-C3N4 nanosheets as the photozyme accelerate oxidation of glucose into gluconic acid to yield protons under light illumination. The outward transmembrane proton gradient is established to drive ATP synthase to synthesize adenosine triphosphate. With such an assembled system, light-driven oxidative phosphorylation is achieved. This indicates that an assembled photozyme can be used for oxidative phosphorylation, which creates an unusual way for chemical-to-biological energy conversion. Compared to conventional oxidative phosphorylation systems, such an artificial design enables higher energy conversion efficiency.

Light-driven proton transmembrane transport enabled by bio-semiconductor 2D membrane: A general peptide-induced WS 2 band shifting strategy. Biosens Bioelectron 2022; 218:114741. [PMID: 36209531 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2022.114741] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2022] [Revised: 09/12/2022] [Accepted: 09/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/02/2022]
Abstract
Light-driven proton directional transport is important in living beings as it could subtly realize the light energy conversion for living uses. In the past years, 2D materials-based nanochannels have shown great potential in active ion transport due to controllable properties, including surface charge distribution, wettability, functionalization, electric structure, and external stimuli responsibility, etc. However, to fuse the inorganic materials into bio-membranes still faces several challenges. Here, we proposed peptide-modified WS2 nanosheets via cysteine linkers to realize tunable band structure and, hence, enable light-driven proton transmembrane transport. The modification was achieved through the thiol chemistry of the -SH groups in the cysteine linker and the S vacancy on the WS2 nanosheets. By tuning the amino residues sequences (lysine-rich peptides, denoted as KFC; and aspartate-rich peptides, denoted as DFC), the ζ-potential, surface charge, and band energy of WS2 nanosheets could be rationally regulated. Janus membranes formed by assembling the peptide-modified WS2 nanosheets could realize the proton transmembrane transport under visible light irradiation, driven by a built-in potential due to a type II band alignment between the KFC-WS2 and DFC-WS2. As a result, the proton would be driven across the formed nanochannels. These results demonstrate a general strategy to build bio-semiconductor materials and provide a new way for embedding inorganic materials into biological systems toward the development of bioelectronic devices.

Abstract
Ion pumps are important membrane-spanning transporters that pump ions against the electrochemical gradient across the cell membrane. In biological systems, ion pumping is essential to maintain intracellular osmotic pressure, to respond to external stimuli, and to regulate physiological activities by consuming adenosine triphosphate. In recent decades, artificial ion pumping systems with diverse geometric structures and functions have been developing rapidly with the progress of advanced materials and nanotechnology. In this Review, bioinspired artificial ion pumps, including four categories: asymmetric structure-driven ion pumps, pH gradient-driven ion pumps, light-driven ion pumps, and electron-driven ion pumps, are summarized. The working mechanisms, functions, and applications of those artificial ion pumping systems are discussed. Finally, a brief conclusion of underpinning challenges and outlook for future research are tentatively discussed.
