C&EN/ACS Publications Highlights

Formaldehyde, Begone!
Formaldehyde (CH₂O) from building materials is a key indoor air pollutant. Graphene-like boron nitride rapidly removes large amounts of CH₂O from air.

Environmental Science & Technology Letters

Do It Like the Tree
Polyelectrolyte-containing poly(ethylene terephthalate) membranes—inspired by mangrove root membranes—efficiently desalinate water.

ACS Nano
