TL;DR: The hypothesis is put forward that the histidine plays a key role on the stabilization of CTAB micelles and avoiding the production of unexpected by-products therefore promotes the fabrication of pure phase ZIF-8 containing the mesopores interconnected with micropores.

TL;DR: In this paper, a zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) was explored for the removal of trace arsenate from water, and the results showed that ZIF8 outperformed some other adsorbents and owned the first and highest reported adsorption capacity (76.5 mg g−1) at a low equilibrium concentration (9.8 μg L−1).

TL;DR: By the combination of the thermal stability ofMOFs and pyrolysis of metal triacetylacetonate complex at matched conditions, the porous structure of MOFs are well maintained while the size-induced superparamagnetic property of nano γ-Fe2O3 is obtained.

TL;DR: In this paper, a hierarchical structure and pore formation was proposed for the typical CuO hollow spheres with hierarchical pores and architecture, which exhibited excellent sensing performance toward H2S as gas sensing material, such as low detection limit of 2 ppb, high sensitivity at parts per billion level concentration, broad linear range, short response time of 3 s, and recovery time of 9 s.

TL;DR: Investigation of the effects of electrical charges, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy spectra, andXPS spectra revealed that electrostatic attraction and hydrogen bond might be involved in the adsorption process of arsenate onto MIL-53(Al), a promising new material for arsenate removal from water.
