Abstract
The widespread presence of diuretics in wastewater, driven by their growing use in managing hypertension, heart failure, and kidney disorders as well as their chemical stability and bioactivity, poses significant environmental risks. To address these limitations, we developed a host–guest interaction-driven sandwich-like nanocomposite membrane with alternating porous and fibrous layers for rapid diuretic removal. The HPβCD composite membrane (HPβCD CM) demonstrated stable adsorption performance under acid and alkaline conditions. Within 60 s, the HPβCD CM achieved >70% removal of hydrochlorothiazide, exhibiting an adsorption rate constant 2–3 times higher than those of GAC and single-component β-cyclodextrin polymers. The maximum adsorption capacities of the membrane reached 300 mg/g for HCTZ and 200 mg/g for bendroflumethiazide and indapamide. With its outstanding adsorption performance, cost-effectiveness, and ease of regeneration, the HPβCD CM represents a promising solution for advanced water treatment applications.
期刊介绍:
ACS Materials Letters is a journal that publishes high-quality and urgent papers at the forefront of fundamental and applied research in the field of materials science. It aims to bridge the gap between materials and other disciplines such as chemistry, engineering, and biology. The journal encourages multidisciplinary and innovative research that addresses global challenges. Papers submitted to ACS Materials Letters should clearly demonstrate the need for rapid disclosure of key results. The journal is interested in various areas including the design, synthesis, characterization, and evaluation of emerging materials, understanding the relationships between structure, property, and performance, as well as developing materials for applications in energy, environment, biomedical, electronics, and catalysis. The journal has a 2-year impact factor of 11.4 and is dedicated to publishing transformative materials research with fast processing times. The editors and staff of ACS Materials Letters actively participate in major scientific conferences and engage closely with readers and authors. The journal also maintains an active presence on social media to provide authors with greater visibility.
