Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232214270. [PMID: 36430752 PMCID: PMC9699325 DOI: 10.3390/ijms232214270] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2022] [Revised: 10/28/2022] [Accepted: 11/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
In this review, we present the most recent and relevant research that has been done regarding the fabrication of 3D micro/nanostructures for tissue engineering applications. First, we make an overview of 3D micro/nanostructures that act as backbone constructs where the seeded cells can attach, proliferate and differentiate towards the formation of new tissue. Then, we describe the fabrication of 3D micro/nanostructures that are able to control the cellular processes leading to faster tissue regeneration, by actuation using topographical, mechanical, chemical, electric or magnetic stimuli. An in-depth analysis of the actuation of the 3D micro/nanostructures using each of the above-mentioned stimuli for controlling the behavior of the seeded cells is provided. For each type of stimulus, a particular recent application is presented and discussed, such as controlling the cell proliferation and avoiding the formation of a necrotic core (topographic stimulation), controlling the cell adhesion (nanostructuring), supporting the cell differentiation via nuclei deformation (mechanical stimulation), improving the osteogenesis (chemical and magnetic stimulation), controlled drug-delivery systems (electric stimulation) and fastening tissue formation (magnetic stimulation). The existing techniques used for the fabrication of such stimuli-actuated 3D micro/nanostructures, are briefly summarized. Special attention is dedicated to structures' fabrication using laser-assisted technologies. The performances of stimuli-actuated 3D micro/nanostructures fabricated by laser-direct writing via two-photon polymerization are particularly emphasized.

[PMID: 33310303 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.143901] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2020] [Revised: 11/05/2020] [Accepted: 11/17/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
As the rapid increase of the worldwide population, recovering valuable resources from wastewater have attracted more and more attention by governments and academia. Electrochemical technologies have been extensively investigated over the past three decades to purify wastewater. However, the application of these technologies for resource recovery from wastewater has just attracted limited attention. In this review, the recent (2010-2020) electrochemical technologies for resource recovery from wastewater are summarized and discussed for the first time. Fundamentals of typical electrochemical technologies are firstly summarized and analyzed, followed by the specific examples of electrochemical resource recovery technologies for different purposes. Based on the fundamentals of electrochemical reactions and without the addition of chemical agents, metallic ions, nutrients, sulfur, hydrogen and chemical compounds can be effectively recovered by means of electrochemical reduction, electrochemical induced precipitation, electrochemical stripping, electrochemical oxidation and membrane-based electrochemical processes, etc. Pros and cons of each electrochemical technology in practical applications are discussed and analyzed. Single-step electrochemical process seems ineffectively to recover valuable resources from the wastewater with complicated constituents. Multiple-step processes or integrated with biological and membrane-based technologies are essential to improve the performance and purity of products. Consequently, this review attempts to offer in-depth insights into the developments of next-generation of electrochemical technologies to minimize energy consumption, boost recovery efficiency and realize the commercial application.

Abstract
Electric field-accelerated ion-permselective membrane (EISM) separation has attracted significant attention in recent years. Thus, herein, to further investigate the ion transport mechanism and optimize the separation efficiency, five types of ion-permselective membrane modules (IPMM I–V) based on the electrochemically switched ion exchange (ESIX) scheme were designed. Compared with the traditional ion separation systems, the in situ membrane-based ion separation system was set up with an extra pulse potential applied to the PPy/PSS/SSWM (polypyrrole/polystyrenesulfonate/stainless steel wire mesh) membrane. The continuous permselective separation of K+ as target ions was performed from dilute aqueous solution through the IPMM system. The pulse potential combined with the regulated cell voltage was functionalized synergistically to create an “ion-sieving effect” and effectively guide the target cations from the source cell to the receiving cell. Moreover, the formation of an equal potential volume in IPMM-V suppressed the reverse migration of the target ions and the detected ion flux across the membrane was 100 times that of the IPMM-I system. The ion transport mechanism was also analyzed in detail based on the equivalent circuit of the system, and the optimized operation parameters were obtained for the high-efficient ion separation system. These results can provide some beneficial information for the design and practical operation of novel EISM systems. Novel ion permselective membrane modules based on the ESIX scheme.![]()

Abstract
Conductive polymers are potential selective ion-exchange membrane materials. In this study, a novel redox transistor electrodialyzer consisting of two chambers separated by a polypyrrole (PPy) membrane electrode was designed for potassium ion (K+) recovery from water. The PPy membrane electrode was fabricated by depositing PPy on a stainless-steel wire mesh through the electrochemical method. Based on ion-exchange results, the PPy membrane exhibited electrodialysis selectivity for K+ in the presence of Na+, with a K+/Na+ separation factor of 2.10. Adding modified active carbon to PPy provided a larger electroactive area and better conductivity, resulting in higher ion-exchange capacity (1.04 mmol/L) compared with the original PPy membrane. Even for seawater containing a very low concentration of K+ (16.18 mmol/L), the PPy membrane still demonstrated K+ selectivity (separation factor of 2.18). Energy consumption in the electrodialyzer was 3.80 kW h/kg K, which was 37% lower than that in traditional electrodialysis. Furthermore, the PPy membrane exhibited antiscaling/fouling ability with the help of a pulse voltage. These findings highlight a novel redox transistor electrodialysis process with great potential application in K+ recovery from wastewater with relatively low energy consumption.

Abstract
As a material family, pi-conjugated polymers (also known as intrinsically conductive polymers) elicit the possibility of both exploiting the chemical and physical attributes of the polymer for membrane-based separations and incorporating its electronic and electrochemical properties to enhance the separation figures-of-merit. This review article, although by no means comprehensive, provides a current snapshot of the investigations from many research laboratories in the use of conducting polymers for membrane-based separations. The review focuses primarily on polyaniline, polypyrrole, and substituted-polythiophene and includes applications in gas separations, liquid (and/or vapor) separations, and ion separations. Additionally, we discuss the broad challenges and accomplishments in membrane formation from conducting polymers.
