Aflatoxins as toxic substances produced by microorganisms widely existed in food crops and detoxification of aflatoxins is highly desired to avoid their leaking into the environment. Herein, a novel combination strategy of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) and porous membrane was used to prepare membrane adsorbent for aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) removal. Fir...

Naturally occurring spatiotemporal patterns typically have a predictable pattern design and are reproducible over several cycles. However, the patterns obtained from artificially designed out-of-equilibrium chemical oscillating networks (such as the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction for example) are unpredictable and difficult to control spatiotemporal...
Herein, we report a novel porphyrin/fullerene supramolecular cocrystal using a shape-persistent zinc-metalated porphyrin box (Zn-PB) and C-60/C-70. An unprecedented arrangement of a tightly packed square-planar core of four C-60 or C-70 surrounded by six cube-shaped Zn-PBs was observed. This unique packing promotes strong charge transfer (CT) inter...
Covalent functionalization of graphene is highly sought after, not only in view of the potential applications of the chemically modified material, but also because it brings fundamental insight into the chemistry of graphene. Thus, strategies that yield chemically modified graphene with densely grafted films of aryl groups via simple experimental p...
Many interesting target guest molecules have low symmetry, yet most methods for synthesising hosts result in highly symmetrical capsules. Methods of generating lower symmetry pores are thus required to maximise the binding affinity in host-guest complexes. Herein, we use mixtures of tetraaldehyde building blocks with cyclohexanediamine to access lo...
Рассматривается проблема воспитания основ экологической культуры учащихся, пути решения которой автор предлагает исходя из собственного опыта работы учителем биологии и химии в школе. / The article deals with the problem of educating the basics of environmental culture of students. The author suggests ways to solve this problem based on his own exp...
This paper aims at studying the combustion in a homemade combustion chamber of biofuel briquettes prepared from olive mill solid wastes. Two different samples of briquettes compressed under 150 MPa and 35 degrees C were investigated: with binder (BOMSW) by adding corn starch and without binder (OMSW). Three combustion regimes were considered: 18, 3...
Despite having great value across a wide variety of scientific fields, two-photon polymerizations currently suffer from two significant problems: the need for photoinitiators, which generate toxic side products, and the irreversibility of the process. Hence, the design of a versatile approach that circumvents these issues represents a major scienti...
Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) has aroused great interest in organic electrics because of its high electrical conductivity and mechanical flexibility. To improve the charge transport, it can act as an ionic liquid (IL) additive due to its ion characteristics and high electrical conductivity. Herein, we investigated the hole-transport perf...
