Binder-Free mechanochemical metal-organic framework nanocrystal coatings

The practical applications of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) usually require their assembly into mechanically robust structures, usually achieved via coating onto various types of substrates. This paper describes a simple, scalable,...

Bimetal Metal-Organic Framework Domino Micro-Reactor for Synergistic Antibacterial Starvation/Chemodynamic Therapy and Robust Wound Healing

Antibacterial chemodynamic therapy (aCDT) has captured considerable attention in the treatment of pathogen-induced infection due to its potential to inactivate bacteria through germicidal reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, the lifespan...

Cerium oxide nanozyme attenuates periodontal bone destruction by inhibiting ROS-NFκB pathway

Periodontitis, an inflammatory disease of oxidative stress, occurs due to the excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) contributing to cell and tissue damage that in turn leads to alveolar bone resorption...

Process of metal−organic framework (MOF)/covalent−organic framework (COF) hybrids-based derivatives and their applications on energy transfer and storage

The fossil-fuel shortage and severe environmental issues have posed ever-increasing demands on clean and renewable energy sources, for which the exploration of electrocatalysts has been in a big challenge toward...
