The Role of a New Stabilizer in Enhancing the Mechanical Performance of Construction Residue Soils.

Urban construction generates significant amounts of construction residue soil. This paper introduces a novel soil stabilizer based on industrial waste to improve its utilization. This stabilizer is primarily composed of blast furnace slag (BFS), steel slag (SS), phosphogypsum (PG), and other additives, which enhance soil strength through physical and chemical processes. This study investigated the mechanical properties of construction residue soil cured with this stabilizer, focusing on the effects of organic matter content (Oo), stabilizer dosage (Oc), and curing age (T) on unconfined compressive strength (UCS). Additionally, water stability and wet-dry cycle tests of the stabilized soil were conducted to assess long-term performance. According to the findings, the UCS increased with the higher stabilizer dosage and longer curing periods but reduced with the higher organic matter content. A stabilizer content of 15-20% is recommended for optimal stabilization efficacy and cost-efficiency in engineering applications. The samples lost their strength when immersed in water. However, adding more stabilizers to the soil can effectively enhance its water stability. Under wet-dry cycle conditions, the UCS initially increased and then decreased, remaining lower than that of samples cured under standard conditions. The findings can provide valuable data for the practical application in construction residual soil stabilization.

Metal Halide Perovskite Nanocrystals-Intermediated Hydrogel for Boosting the Biosensing Performance.

Metal-halide perovskites have become attractive nanomaterials for advanced biosensors, yet the structural design remains challenging due to the trade-off between environmental stability and sensing sensitivity. Herein, a trinity strategy is proposed to address this issue by integrating Mn (II) substitution with CsPb2Cl5 inert shell and NH2-PEG-COOH coating for designing Mn2+-doped CsPbCl3/CsPb2Cl5 core/shell hetero perovskite nanocrystals (PMCP PNCs). The trinity strategy isolates the emissive Mn2+-doped CsPbCl3 core from water and the Mn2+ d-d transition generates photoluminescence with a long lifetime, endowing the NH2-PEG-COOH capped Mn2+-doped CsPbCl3/CsPb2Cl5 PNCs with robust water stability and oxygen-sensitive property. Given the structural integration, photoluminescent hydrogel biosensors are designed by embedding the PMCP PNCs into the hydrogel system to deliver on-site pesticide information on food products. Impressively, benefiting from the dual enzyme triggered-responsive property of PMCP PNCs, the hydrogel biosensor is endowed with ultra-high sensitivity toward chlorpyrifos pesticide at the nanogram per milliliter level. Such a robust PMCP PNCs-based hydrogel sensor can provide accurate pesticide information while guiding the construction of photoluminescent biosensors for upcoming on-site applications.

Accelerating Discovery of Water Stable Metal-Organic Frameworks by Machine Learning.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) provide an extensive design landscape for nanoporous materials that drive innovation across energy and environmental fields. However, their practical applications are often hindered by water stability challenges. In this study, a machine learning (ML) approach is proposed to accelerate the discovery of water stable MOFs and validated through experimental test. First, the largest database currently available that contains water stability information of 1133 synthesized MOFs is constructed and categorized according to experimental stability. Then, structural and chemical descriptors are applied at various fragmental levels to develop ML classifiers for predicting the water stability of MOFs. The ML classifiers achieve high prediction accuracy and excellent transferability on out-of-sample validation. Next, two MOFs are experimentally synthesized with their water stability tested to validate ML predictions. Finally, the ML classifiers are applied to discover water stable MOFs in the ab initio REPEAT charge MOF (ARC-MOF) database. Among ≈280 000 candidates, ≈130 000 (47%) MOFs are predicted to be water stable; furthermore, through multi-stability analysis, 461 (0.16%) MOFs are identified as not only water stable but also thermal and activation stable. The ML approach is anticipated to serve as a prerequisite filtering tool to streamline the exploration of water stable MOFs for important practical applications.

Chemical characteristics and water stability evaluation of groundwater in the CKDu Zone of Sri Lanka.

Groundwater is the main source of drinking water for the rural population in the chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology (CKDu) zone of the North Central Province (NCP) in Sri Lanka. In this study, a total of 334 groundwater samples (311 dug wells, 21 tube wells and 2 springs) during the wet season from two aquifers in the NCP were collected, and investigated their chemical characteristics and evaluate their water quality, including groundwater chemistry, main ion sources, the corrosion and scaling potential of groundwater. The results showed that the two hydrochemical types of groundwater in the NCP were mainly of the Ca-HCO3, Na·Ca-HCO3 types, with the main HCO3-, Na+ and Ca2+ ions in both types of groundwater originating from silicate and evaporite salt dissolution and influenced by alternating cation adsorption, while the presence of NO3- was mainly anthropogenic. Evaluation of water stability using namely Langelier saturation index (LSI), Ryznar stability index (RSI), Puckorius scaling index (PSI) and Larson-Skold index (LS), indicated that most groundwater presents corrosion potential and has corrosion behavior tendency of metals to some degrees. The water quality of Polonnaruwa was better than that of Anuradhapura in the NCP, and when the groundwater was worse than the "good" grade, which must be properly treated before it is used as drinking water.

New 2D Metal-Organic Monoacid Framework (MOmAF): Realization of Extreme Water Repellence.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are normally moisture-sensitive and unstable in aqueous environments, which has considerably limited their practical applications because water/moisture is ubiquitous in many industrial processes. New materials with superior water stability are, therefore, in great demand and vital to their practical applications. Here, a novel oil/water interfacial assembly strategy is demonstrated for the synthesis of a new class of metal-organic monoacid framework (MOmAF) with exceptional water stability and chemical stability. Superhydrophobic 2D sheets are synthesized at room temperature, while 1D nanotubes are obtained via the self-scrolling of their 2D sheets for the first time. In addition, a simple sequential drop-casting method is developed to coat as-synthesized MOmAF structures onto porous membranes. This can potentially open up new avenues in the design of superhydrophobic self-cleaning MOmAF materials without tedious post-synthetic modifications and usher in a new class of materials meeting industrial needs.

In Situ Synthesis of CsPbX3/Polyacrylonitrile Nanofibers with Water-Stability and Color-Tunability for Anti-Counterfeiting and LEDs.

Inorganic CsPbX3 (X = Cl, Br, I) perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) have attracted widespread attention due to their excellent optical properties and extensive application prospects. However, their inherent structural instability significantly hinders their practical application despite their outstanding optical performance. To enhance stability, an in situ electrospinning strategy was used to synthesize CsPbX3/polyacrylonitrile composite nanofibers. By optimizing process parameters (e.g., halide ratio, electrospinning voltage, and heat treatment temperature), all-inorganic CsPbX3 PQDs have been successfully grown in a polyacrylonitrile (PAN) matrix. During the electrospinning process, the rapid solidification of electrospun fibers not only effectively constrained the formation of large-sized PQDs but also provided effective physical protection for PQDs, resulting in the improvement in the water stability of PQDs by minimizing external environmental interference. Even after storage in water for over 100 days, the PQDs maintained approximately 93.5% of their photoluminescence intensity. Through the adjustment of halogen elements, the as-obtained composite nanofibers exhibited color-tunable luminescence in the visible light region, and based on this, a series of multicolor anti-counterfeiting patterns were fabricated. Additionally, benefiting from the excellent water stability and optical performance, the CsPbBr3/PAN composite film was combined with red-emitting K2SiF6:Mn4+ (KSF) on a blue LED (460 nm), producing a stable and efficient WLED device with a color temperature of around 6000 K and CIE coordinates of (0.318, 0.322). These results provide a general approach to synthesizing PQDs/polymer nanocomposites with excellent water stability and multicolor emission, thereby promoting their practical applications in multifunctional optoelectronic devices and advanced anti-counterfeiting.

Fluorinated Organic Cations Derived Chiral 2D Perovskite Enabling Enhanced Spin-Dependent Oxygen Evolution Reaction.

Chirality-induced spin selectivity observed in chiral 2D organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite holds promise to achieve spin-dependent electrochemistry. However, conventional chiral 2D perovskites suffer from low conductivity and hygroscopicity, limiting electrochemical performance and operational stability. Here, a cutting-edge material design is introduced to develop a stable and efficient chiral perovskite-based spin polarizer by employing fluorinated chiral cation. The fluorination approach effectively promotes the charge carrier transport along the out-of-plane direction by mitigating the dielectric confinement effect within the multi-quantum well-structured 2D perovskite. Integrating the fluorinated cation incorporated spin polarizer with BiVO4 photoanode considerably boosts the photocurrent density while reducing overpotential through a spin-dependent oxygen evolution reaction. Furthermore, the hydrophobic nature of fluorine in spin polarizer endows operational stability to the photoanode, extending the durability by 280% as compared to the device with non-fluorinated spin polarizer.

Enhanced water stability and catalytic activity of Fe-based metal-organic frameworks with co-ligands for 2,4-dichlorophenol degradation.

Fe-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have good photocatalytic performance, environmental friendliness, low cost, and abundance. However, their applications are limited by low water stability, particularly in the presence of light irradiation and oxidizing agents. In this study, we present a MIL-53(Fe)-based MOF using 1,4-naphthalene dicarboxylic (1,4-NDC) and 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic (H2BDC) acid co-ligands, denoted MIL-53(Fe)-Nx, where Nx represents the ratio of 1,4-NDC. This MOF exhibits high water stability and good photocatalytic activity because of the hydrophobicity of naphthalene. The removal and mineralization rates for 100 mg/L 2,4-dichlorophenol reached 100% and 22%, respectively, within 60 min. After three cycles of use, the Fe leached into the solution from the catalysts was significantly lower than the maximum permissible limit indicated in the European Union standard. Of note, 1,4-NDC can be used to make a rigid MOF, thereby improving the crystallinity, porosity, and hydrophobicity of the resultant materials. It also significantly reduced the bandgap energy and improved the charge separation efficiency of the catalysts. This study provides a route to enhance the water stability of Fe-based MOFs via a mixed-ligand strategy to expand their applications in pollutant control.

Aminolysis-Based Zwitterionic Immobilization on Polyethersulfone Membranes for Enhanced Hemocompatibility: Experimental, Computational, and Ex Vivo Investigations.

Dialysis membranes are not hemocompatible with human blood, as the patients are suffering from the blood-membrane interactions' side effects. Zwitterionic structures have shown improved hemocompatibility; however, their complicated synthesis hinders their commercialization. The goal of the study is to achieve fast functionalization for carboxybetaine and sulfobetaine zwitterionic immobilization on PES membranes while comparing the stability and the targeted hemocompatibility. The chemical modification approach is based on an aminolysis reaction. Characterization, computational simulations, and clinical analysis were conducted to study the modified membranes. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) patterns showed a lower mean roughness for carboxybetaine-modified (6.3 nm) and sulfobetaine-modified (7.7 nm) membranes compared to the neat membrane (52.61 nm). The pore size of the membranes was reduced from values above 50 nm for the neat PES to values between 2 and 50 nm for zwitterionized membranes, using Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis. More hydrophilic surfaces led to a growth equilibrium water content (EWC) of nearly 6% for carboxybetaine and 10% for sulfobetaine-modified membranes. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements were 12% and 16% stable water for carboxybetaine- and sulfobetaine-modified membranes, respectively. Sulfobetaine membranes showed better compatibility with blood with respect to C5a, IL-1a, and IL-6 biomarkers. Aminolysis-based zwitterionization was found to be suitable for the improvement of hemodialysis membranes. The approach introduced in this paper could be used to modify the current dialysis membranes with minimal change in the production facilities.

Highly Fluorinated Nanospace in Porous Organic Salts with High Water Stability/Capability and Proton Conductivity.

Water in hydrophobic nanospaces shows specific dynamic properties different from bulk water. The investigation of these properties is important in various research fields, including materials science, chemistry, and biology. The elucidation of the correlation between properties of water and hydrophobic nanospaces requires nanospaces covered only with simple hydrophobic group (e.g., fluorine) without impurities such as metals. This work successfully fabricated all-organic diamondoid porous organic salts (d-POSs) with highly fluorinated nanospaces, wherein hydrophobic fluorine atoms are densely exposed on the void surfaces, by combining fluorine substituted triphenylmethylamine (TPMA) derivatives with tetrahedral tetrasulfonic acid. This d-POSs with a highly fluorinated nanospace significantly improved their water stability, retaining their crystal structure even when immersed in water over one week. Moreover, this highly hydrophobic and fluorinated nanospace adsorbs 160 mL(STP)/g of water vapor at Pe/P0=0.90; this is the first hydrophobic nanospace, which water molecules can enter, in an all-organic porous material. Furthermore, this highly fluorinated nanospace exhibits very high proton conductivity (1.34×10-2 S/cm) at 90 °C and 95 % RH. POSs with tailorable nanospaces may significantly advance the elucidation of the properties of specific "water" in pure hydrophobic environments.

Hydrostability, mechanical resilience, and biodegradability of paper straws fabricated through lignin-based polyurethane and chitosan binary emulsion bonding.

This study focuses on enhancing the strength and water stability of paper straws through a novel approach involving a binary emulsion of lignin-based polyurethane and chitosan. Kraft lignin serves as the raw material for synthesizing a blocked waterborne polyurethane, subsequently combined with carboxylated chitosan to form a stable binary emulsion. The resulting emulsion, exhibiting remarkable stability over at least 6 months, is applied to the base paper. Following emulsion application, the paper undergoes torrefaction at 155 °C. This process deblocks isocyanate groups, enabling their reaction with hydroxyl groups on chitosan and fibers, ultimately forming ester bonds. This reaction significantly improves the mechanical strength and hydrophobicity of paper straws. The composite paper straws demonstrate exceptional mechanical properties, including a tensile strength of 47.21 MPa, Young's modulus of 4.33 GPa, and flexural strength of 32.38 MPa. Notably, its water stability is greatly enhanced, with a wet tensile strength of 40.66 MPa, surpassing commercial paper straws by 8 folds. Furthermore, the composite straw achieves complete biodegradability within 120 days, outperforming conventional paper straws in terms of environmental impact. This innovative solution presents a promising and sustainable alternative to plastic straws, addressing the urgent need for eco-friendly products.

Exceptional Stability against Water, UV Light, and Heat for CsPbBr3@Pb-MOF Composites.

All-inorganic lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have been widely applied in optoelectronic devices owing to their excellent photoluminescence (PL) properties. However, poor stability upon exposure to water, UV light or heat strongly limits their practical application. Herein, CsPbBr3@Pb-MOF composites with exceptional stability against water, UV light, and heat are synthesized by ultrasonic processing the precursors of lead-based MOF (Pb-MOF), oleylammonium bromide (OAmBr) and cesium oleate (Cs-OA) solutions at room temperature. Pb-MOF can not only provide the lead source for the in situ growth of CsPbBr3 NCs, but also the protective layer of perovskites NCs. The formed CsPbBr3@Pb-MOF composites show a considerable PL quantum yield (PLQY) of 67.8%, and can maintain 90% of the initial PL intensity when immersed in water for 2 months. In addition, the outstanding PL stability against UV light and heat is demonstrated with CsPbBr3 NCs synthesized by the conventional method as a comparison. Finally, a green (light-emitting diode) LED is fabricated using green-emitting CsPbBr3@Pb-MOF composites and exhibits excellent stability without packaging when immersed in water for 30 days. This study provides a practical approach to improve the stability in aqueous phase, which may pave the way for future applications for various optoelectronic devices.

Mechanical characterization and water stability of loess improved by bio-based materials: An eco-friendly approach.

Loess exhibits poor engineering properties, such as low strength and poor water stability. Conventional materials used for improving loess, such as cement and lime, result in environmental pollution issues throughout their production and application processes. To assess the efficacy of bio-based materials, including calcium alginate (CA), xanthan gum (XA), cotton fibers (CO) and flax fibers (FA) in the treatment of loess, the improved soil's strength, disintegration, and water resistance were examined. Subsequently, an optimal amendment approach was determined, and dry-wet cycle tests and microscopic observation were performed. The results show that 1.0 % calcium alginate can effectively enhance the strength of loess, significantly improving its resistance to disintegration with almost no observable disintegration; permeability is significantly reduced, and water repellency is enhanced. 2.0 % xanthan can improve the strength and disintegration resistance of loess, but the improvement in strength is lower than that of calcium alginate. Additionally, the improved soil with XA experiences a flocculent disintegration in static water, which cannot maintain the soil structure. Cotton fibers and flax fibers can enhance both compressive and tensile strength of the soil. The content of 0.45 % flax fibers is considered the optimal choice as it has no effect on water stability. Combining the above results, the combination of 1.0 % CA and 0.45 % FA has been selected to improve the loess, which effectively improves the comprehensive mechanical properties and water stability of the composite improved soil. The decrease in strength and mass loss rate are significantly reduced after dry-wet cycle tests. Microscopic tests show that calcium alginate connects soil particles by Ca2+ ionic bridges, which allows the cementing materials to fill the loess pores and exert the role of agglomeration and coagulation to enhance the integrity of the loess. This study shows that the bio-based material with calcium alginate as the main body can effectively improve the mechanical strength and water stability of the loess.

Selective CO2 Photoreduction Enabled by Water-stable Cu-based Metal-organic Framework Nanoribbons.

The goal of photocatalytic CO2 reduction system is to achieve near 100 % selectivity for the desirable product with reasonably high yield and stability. Here, two-dimensional metal-organic frameworks are constructed with abundant and uniform monometallic active sites, aiming to be an emerged platform for efficient and selective CO2 reduction. As an example, water-stable Cu-based metal-organic framework nanoribbons with coordinatively unsaturated single CuII sites are first fabricated, evidenced by X-ray diffraction patterns and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. In situ Fourier-transform infrared spectra and Gibbs free energy calculations unravel the formation of the key intermediate COOH* and CO* is an exothermic and spontaneous process, whereas the competitive hydrogen evolution reaction is endothermic and non-spontaneous, which accounts for the selective CO2 reduction. As a result, in an aqueous solution containing 1 mol L-1 KHCO3 and without any sacrifice reagent, the water-stable Cu-based metal-organic framework nanoribbons exhibited an average CO yield of 82 µmol g-1 h-1 with the selectivity up to 97 % during 72 h cycling test, which is comparable to other reported photocatalysts under similar conditions.

Size- and concentration-dependent effects of microplastics on soil aggregate formation and properties.

Plastics fragment and threaten soil ecosystems. Degradation of soil structure is one of the risks. Despite this, data on impacts of different sized microplastics (MPs) on soil aggregates is lacking. This study systematically investigated the effects of pristine polyethylene powders of different sizes (< 35, < 125, < 500 µm) and concentrations (0, 0.1, 1.0, 10 wt%) on aggregate formation and their properties for two contrasting soils (woodland soil, WS; agricultural soil, AS). 75 day wet-dry cycles produced newly-formed aggregates in all treatments. MP size and concentration impacted the incorporation of MPs in aggregates and this varied with aggregate size; the size distribution of aggregates also varied with MP size and concentration. Aggregates produced in soil containing 10 wt% < 35 µm MPs had significantly lower MWDs (mean weight diameters) than controls. The wettability of aggregates (> 4 mm) reduced with increasing MP exposure concentration and decreasing MP exposure size. MP incorporation decreased the water stability of aggregates (1-2 mm) in WS but increased it in AS. The particle density of aggregates (> 4 mm) significantly decreased with increasing MP concentration, whereas MP size had no effect. As MPs breakdown, fragment and become smaller over time, their potential risk to the aggregated structure of soil increases.

Conducting Polymer Coatings Prepared by Mixed Emulsions Are Highly Conductive and Stable in Water.

An aqueous emulsion of conducting polymer is commonly applied on a substrate to form a coating after drying. The coating, however, disintegrates in water. This paper reports a coating prepared using a mixture of two emulsions: an aqueous emulsion of conducting polymer, and an aqueous emulsion of hydrophobic and rubbery chains copolymerized with silane coupling agents. When applied on a substrate and dried, particles of the mixed emulsion merge into a continuous film. While the conducting polymer forms percolated nanocrystals, the silane groups crosslink the rubbery chains and interlink the rubbery chains to the substrate. The percolated nanocrystals make the coating highly conductive. The covalent network of hydrophobic polymer chains stabilizes the coating in water. The high conductivity and stability in water may enable broad applications.

An Intrinsic Stable Layered Oxide Cathode for Practical Sodium-Ion Battery: Solid Solution Reaction, Near-Zero-Strain and Marvelous Water Stability.

Non-aqueous solvents, in particular N,N-dimethylaniline (NMP), are widely applied for electrode fabrication since most sodium layered oxide cathode materials are readily damaged by water molecules. However, the expensive price and poisonousness of NMP unquestionably increase the cost of preparation and post-processing. Therefore, developing an intrinsically stable cathode material that can implement the water-soluble binder to fabricate an electrode is urgent. Herein, a stable nanosheet-like Mn-based cathode material is synthesized as a prototype to verify its practical applicability in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). The as-prepared material displays excellent electrochemical performance and remarkable water stability, and it still maintains a satisfactory performance of 79.6% capacity retention after 500 cycles even after water treatment. The in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) demonstrates that the synthesized material shows an absolute solid-solution reaction mechanism and near-zero-strain. Moreover, the electrochemical performance of the electrode fabricated with a water-soluble binder shows excellent long-cycling stability (67.9% capacity retention after 500 cycles). This work may offer new insights into the rational design of marvelous water stability cathode materials for practical SIBs.

Introducing Specific Iodine Ions in Perovskite-Based Nanocomplex to Cater for Versatile Biomedical Imaging and Tumor Radiotherapy.

Multimodal biomedical imaging and imaging-guided therapy have garnered extensive attention owing to the aid of nanoagents with the aim of further improving the therapeutic efficacy of diseases. The ability to engineer nanocomplexes (NCs) or control how they behave within an organism remains largely elusive. Here, a multifunctional nanoplatform is developed based on stabilized I-doped perovskite, CsPbBr3 -x Ix @SiO2 @Lip-c(RGD)2 (PSL-c(RGD)2 ) NCs. In particular, by regulating the amount of regular I- ions introduced, the fluorescence emission spectrum of perovskite-based NCs can be modulated well to match the requirement for biomedical optical imaging at the scale from molecule, cell to mouse; doping 125 I enables the nanoformulation to be competent for single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging; the introduction of 131 I- imparts the NCs with the capability for radiotherapy. Through facile manipulation of specific iodine ions, this nanoplatform exhibits a remarkable ability to match multifunctional biomedical imaging and tumor therapy. In addition, their in vivo behavior can be manipulated by adjusting the thickness of the silica shell and the surface polarity for more practical applications. These experimental explorations offer a novel approach for engineering desirable multimodal NCs to simultaneously image and combat malignant tumors.

Robust Organogel Scintillator for Self-healing and Ultra-flexible X-ray Imaging.

Metal halide scintillators serve as promising candidates for X-ray detection due to their high attenuation coefficients, high light yields, and low-cost solution-processable characteristics. However, the issues of humidity/thermal quenching and mechanical fragility, remain obstacles to the broad and diversified development of metal halide scintillators. Here, this work reports a lead-free, water-stable, stretchable, and self-healing (ethylenebis-triphenylphosphonium manganese (II) bromide (C38H34P2)MnBr4 organogel scintillator that meets X-ray imaging in complex scenarios. The robust organogel scintillator can be stretched with elongation up to 1300% while maintaining the scintillation properties. Activated by the dynamic hydrogen bonds and coordination bonds design, the organogel scintillator exhibits excellent self-healing properties at room temperature to alleviate the vignetting problem of the rigid scintillator films, the X-ray imaging resolution can reach 16.7 lp mm-1. The organogel scintillator can also realize flexible and self-healing X-ray imaging in water, providing a design path for portable devices in harsh conditions.
