Abstract
The evolution of the chemical and pharmaceutical industry requires effective and less energy-intensive separation technologies. Engineering smart materials at a large scale with tunable properties for molecular separation is a challenging step to materialize this goal. Herein, we report thin film composite membranes prepared by the interfacial polymerization of porous organic cages (POCs) (RCC3 and tren cages). Ultrathin crosslinked polycage selective layers (thickness as low as 9.5 nm) are obtained with high permeance and strict molecular sieving for nanofiltration. A dual function is achieved by combining molecular separation and catalysis. This is demonstrated by impregnating the cages with highly catalytically active Pd nanoclusters ( ~ 0.7 nm). While the membrane promotes a precise molecular separation, its catalytic activity enables surface self-cleaning, by reacting with any potentially adsorbed dye and recovering the original performance. This strategy opens opportunities for the development of other smart membranes combining different functions and well-tailored abilities.

Abstract
In the present work, Listeria monocytogenes was used as the target strain to investigate the sterilising potential and mechanism of high power pulse microwave (HPPM). Results showed that the inactivation was positively correlated with the pulse frequencies and operating times. The count of Listeria monocytogenes was decreased by 5.09 log CFU/mL under 200 Hz for 9 min, which was used as the optimised condition to further explore the sterilisation mechanism. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images showed that the L. monocytogenes cells of untreated group presented intact surfaces, clear boundary, and its intracellular contents distributed uniformly in the cytoplasm. Following treatment, the cell wall surfaces began to deform in small areas, and cell membranes were severely ruptured, thus resulting in the appearance of electron transmission areas. Extracellular protein and nucleic acid contents, represented by OD260 nm and OD280 nm, increased with the increase in operating time significantly. After treatment, SDS-PAGE profiles of whole-cell proteins displayed that the protein bands became lighter or even disappeared. Na+ K+-ATPase activities and intracellular ATP content decreased by 72.97 and 79.09%, respectively. This was consistent with the cell viability of L. monocytogenes observed by confocal laser scanning microscopy. Overall, the sterilisation mechanism of HPPM on L. monocytogenes may be caused by membrane damage, intracellular component leakage, and energy metabolism hindrance.

Abstract
Tellurite [Te(IV)] is a high-toxicity metalloid. In this study, a fungus with high Te(IV) resistance was isolated. Strain AB1 could efficiently reduce highly toxic Te(IV) to less toxic Te(0). The reduced products formed rod-shaped biogenetic Te(0) nanoparticles (Bio-TeNPs) intracellularly. Further TEM-element mapping, FTIR, and XPS analysis showed that the extracted Bio-TeNPs ranged from 100 to 500 nm and consisted of Te(0), proteins, lipids, aromatic compounds, and carbohydrates. Moreover, Bio-TeNPs exhibited excellent antibacterial ability against Shigella dysenteriae, Escherichia coli, Enterobacter sakazakii, and Salmonella typhimurium according to inhibition zone tests. Further growth and live/dead staining experiments showed that E. coli and S. typhimurium were significantly inhibited by Bio-TeNPs, and cells were broken or shriveled after treatment with Bio-TeNPs based on SEM observation. Additionally, the antioxidant and cytotoxicity tests showed that the Bio-TeNPs exhibited excellent antioxidant capacity with no cytotoxicity. All these results suggested that strain AB1 showed great potential in bioremediation and Bio-TeNPs were excellent antibacterial nanomaterials with no cytotoxicity.

Abstract
An "antibiotic-free strategy" provides a viable option to address bacterial infections, especially for the "superbug" challenge. However, the undesirable antibacterial activity of antibiotic-free agents hinders their practical applications. In this study, we developed a combination antibacterial strategy of coupling peptide-drug therapy with chemodynamic therapy (CDT) to achieve the effective bacterial inhibition. An amphiphilic oligopeptide (LAOOH-OPA) containing a therapeutic unit of D(KLAK)2 peptide and a hydrophobic linoleic acid hydroperoxide (LAHP) was designed. The positively charged D(KLAK)2 peptide with an α-helical conformation enabled rapid binding with microbial cells via electrostatic interaction and subsequent membrane insertion to deactivate the bacterial membrane. When triggered by Fe2+, moreover, LAHP could generate singlet oxygen (1O2) to elicit lipid bilayer leakage for enhanced bacteria inhibition. In vitro assays demonstrated that the combination strategy possessed excellent antimicrobial activity not only merely toward susceptible strains (Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative Escherichia coli) but also toward methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). On the mouse skin abscess model induced by S. aureus, self-assembled LAOOH-OPA exhibited a more significant bacteria reduction (1.4 log10 reduction) in the bioburden compared to that of the standard vancomycin (0.9 log10 reduction) without apparent systemic side effects. This combination antibacterial strategy shows great potential for effective bacterial inhibition.

Abstract
Precisely tailoring the surface morphology characteristics of the active layers based on bionic inspirations can improve the performance of thin-film composite (TFC) membranes. The remarkable water adsorption and capture abilities of octopus tentacles inspired the construction of a novel TFC nanofiltration (NF) membrane with octopus arm-sucker morphology using carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and beta-cyclodextrin (β-CD) during interfacial polymerization (IP). The surface morphology, chemical elements, water contact angle (WCA), interfacial free energy (ΔG), electronegativity, and pore size of the membranes were systematically investigated. The optimal membrane exhibited an enhanced water permeance of 22.6 L·m-2·h-1·bar-1, 180% better than that of the TFC-control membrane. In addition, the optimal membrane showed improved single salt rejections and monovalent/divalent ion selectivity and can break the trade-off effect. The antiscaling performance and stability of the membranes were further explored. The construction mechanism of the octopus arm-sucker structure was excavated, in which CNTs and β-CD acted as arm skeletons and suckers, respectively. Furthermore, the customization of the membrane surface and performance was achieved through tuning the individual effects of the arm skeletons and suckers. This study highlights the noteworthy potential of the design and construction of the surface morphology of high-performance NF membranes for environmental application.

Abstract
Membrane fouling, caused by aggregation of organics and microorganisms from filtrate on the membrane surface, seriously reduces the service life of a nanofiltration (NF) membrane. Developing facile and renewable antifouling modification methods without sacrificing separation properties of the membrane remain an imperative requirement. Herein, a thin-film composite (TFC) NF membrane with a light-responsive and regenerable functional layer (P-TFC) was fabricated via host-guest interactions between the azobenzene (guest) labeled functional polymers and the β-cyclodextrin (host) bonded membrane surface (H-TFC). The P-TFC-3 not only showed outstanding antifouling ability and high flux recovery ratio (FRR > 90% at the fourth antiadhesive test) but also exhibited enhanced water permeability (17.9 L m-2 h-1 bar-1) and high selectivity (αMgSO4NaCl = 33.4 and fast antibiotics enrichment capacity) compared with the pristine membrane. Furthermore, when the functional layer was contaminated, it can be removed by ultraviolet light irradiation and a new functional layer can be rebuilt by adding fresh azobenzene labeled functional polymers. After several regeneration processes, the membranes still showed constant separation properties and high flux recovery ability (FRR > 90%). This work proposes an easy-to-assemble and regenerable surface modification strategy to endow TFC NF membranes with excellent fouling resistance and sustainable utilization ability while maintaining high separation properties.

Abstract
Engineering membranes for molecular separation in organic solvents is still a big challenge. When the selectivity increases, the permeability tends to drastically decrease, increasing the energy demands for the separation process. Ideally, organic solvent nanofiltration membranes should be thin to enhance the permeant transport, have a well-tailored nanoporosity and high stability in harsh solvents. Here, we introduce a trianglamine macrocycle as a molecular building block for cross-linked membranes, prepared by facile interfacial polymerization, for high-performance selective separations. The membranes were prepared via a two-in-one strategy, enabled by the amine macrocycle, by simultaneously reducing the thickness of the thin-film layers (<10 nm) and introducing permanent intrinsic porosity within the membrane (6.3 Å). This translates into a superior separation performance for nanofiltration operation, both in polar and apolar solvents. The hyper-cross-linked network significantly improved the stability in various organic solvents, while the amine host macrocycle provided specific size and charge molecular recognition for selective guest molecules separation. By employing easily customized molecular hosts in ultrathin membranes, we can significantly tailor the selectivity on-demand without compromising the overall permeability of the system. Engineering thin membranes for molecular separation with well tailored nanoporosity and which can withstand harsh conditions is still a big challenge. Here, the authors introduce a trianglamine macrocycle as a molecular building block for cross-linked membranes, prepared by facile interfacial polymerization, for high performance selective separations.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2020; 743:140766. [PMID: 32679500 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.140766] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2020] [Revised: 07/02/2020] [Accepted: 07/03/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
To overcome the permeability-selectivity limitation and improve the performance of desalination membranes, novel methods and design strategies are needed to prepare new types of thin film composite (TFC) nanofiltration (NF) membranes. In this work, a modified TFC membrane with a sandwiched layer and a surface layer was fabricated through a facile additional two-step approach. The microfiltration (MF) substrate and TFC surface were modified by a cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) sandwiched layer and a polydopamine (PDA) layer, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis indicated that the support modified by CNCs presented a more homogeneous surface than the control TFC. Cross-sectional SEM images showed that the underneath MF support, CNC interlayer, polyamide layer and PDA deposition layer were perfectly integrated. The surface charge was determined by an electrophoretic analyzer and revealed that the CNC interlayer increased the membrane electronegativity, while the PDA layer presented the opposite effect. Compared to the control TFC membrane, the solute permeability and rejection of the resultant CNC-TFC-PDA membrane were simultaneously increased, indicating a breakthrough in the trade-off limitation. The modified membranes exhibited a high removal rate for Congo red, Rose Bengal, sodium lignosulfonate and alkaline lignin, suggesting their excellent rejection performance for textile dyes and lignin derivatives. Fouling tests indicated that both the interlayer and surface layer exhibited positive effects on fouling alleviation. The effects of each functional layer were explored, and the main factors for performance improvement, including the modified hydrophilicity, surface charge, pore size and surface roughness, were discussed.

Abstract
Nanofiltration plays an increasingly large role in many industrial applications, such as water treatment (e.g., desalination, water softening, and fluoride removal) and resource recovery (e.g., alkaline earth metals). Energy consumption and benefits of nanofiltration processes are directly determined by the selectivity of the nanofiltration membranes, which is largely governed by pore-size distribution and Donnan effects. During operation, the separation performance of unmodified nanofiltration membranes will also be impacted (deleteriously) upon unavoidable membrane fouling. Many efforts, therefore, have been directed toward enhancing the selectivity of nanofiltration membranes, which can be classified into membrane fabrication method improvement and process intensification. This review summarizes recent developments in the field and provides guidance for potential future approaches to improve the selectivity of nanofiltration membranes.

Abstract
Disinfecting drinking water in a reliable, sustainable, and affordable manner is a great challenge, especially for water contaminated with pathogenic microbes, and traditional water disinfection strategies still suffer from biofouling, irreversible depletion of disinfectants, and energy consumption. In this study, we developed biomimetic and superelastic skeletal-structured silica nanofibrous aerogels (SNAs) with rechargeable bactericidal and antifouling property via the combination of electrospun silica nanofibers and a functional Si-O-Si bonding network. The premise for our design is that the Si-O-Si network comprising rechargeable N-halamine moieties can provide the aerogels with structural stability yet durable bactericidal activity. The resulting aerogels exhibit intriguing properties of high porosity, superhydrophilicity, superelasticity, rechargeable chlorination capability (>4800 ppm), and exceptional bactericidal activity (99.9999%), enabling the aerogels to effectively disinfect the bacteria-contaminated water with ultrahigh flux (57 600 L m-2 h-1) and antifouling function. The synthesis of the SNAs opens pathways for exploring antibacterial and antifouling materials in a renewable and nanofibrous form.
