Extraction of Hexavalent and Trivalent F-Block Elements Using Metal–Organic Framework-303: An Experimental and Theoretical Investigation

Abstract In this study, the adsorption behavior of uranium, U(VI), and neodymium, Nd(III), onto metal–organic framework (MOF)-303, exhibiting a high surface area and tunable functional groups, was systematically investigated. Batch adsorption experiments were performed to evaluat...

A Descriptor and Tool for Guiding Composition Design toward Developing Single- or Mixed/Hybrid-Phase “Layered” Transition Metal Oxide Cathode Materials for Na-Ion Batteries

Abstract The structure type and phase assemblage of “layered” Na-transition metal (TM) oxides dictate their performance as cathode materials, resulting in an impetus toward developing biphasic or hybrid Na-TM-oxides. However, a fundamental understanding as to what drives the form...

Phase II Non-Randomised Trial of Oral Chlorophyllin in Haemorrhagic Cystitis from Radiation Therapy (CLARITY Trial): clinical and quality-of-life outcomes with exploratory proteomics

Abstract Chronic Haemorrhagic Cystitis (cHC) affects 5–15% of patients after pelvic radiotherapy. Sodium-copper-chlorophyllin, a semi-synthetic chlorophyll derivative, has shown promise in preclinical models. The phase II CLARITY trial evaluated oral chlorophyllin for radiation-i...

NanostructuredSilver Microparticles from MicrodropletReduction and Evaporative Assembly for Plasmon-Driven Photocatalysisand SERS

Abstract Plasmonic nanoparticle aggregates are excellent plasmonic photocatalysts and substrates for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) due to localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) coupling and hot-spot generation. Yet facile but scalable synthesis methods for such m...

Lighting Hidden Traces: Rapid Green Synthesis of Zero‐Dimensional Manganese Halide Perovskite for X‐Ray and Fingerprint Imaging

ABSTRACT Lead‐free, eco‐friendly organic–inorganic manganese halides (OIMnHs) have attracted considerable attention for optoelectronic applications, owing to their outstanding optical properties and facile solution processability. Here, we present a novel zero‐dimensional (0D) OI...

Tailoring Pluronic® F127-Gelucire® 48/16 mixed micellar nanostructures for efficient solubilization of petroleum-derived hydrocarbon contaminants

Benzene (a representative monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, MAH) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are persistent hydrophobic pollutants frequently present in petroleum-related waste streams, produced waters, and contaminated aquatic environments. The low solubility of a...

Nucleotide Driven Hierarchical Self‐Assembly of Covalent Organic Framework and Gold Nanostar for Molecular Diagnosis of Turner Syndrome

ABSTRACT Turner Syndrome (TS), a rare chromosomal disorder, cause significant phenotypical changes like growth failure and primary ovarian insufficiency. Chromosomal karyotyping, the preferred diagnostic method till date, resulting in delayed diagnosis that precludes early interv...
