Ciprofloxacin accumulates in aqueous environment due to its non-degradability. Photocatalysis, as an economical and efficient treatment technology for organic matter, is mostly used to remove antibiotics from water environment. However, the photocatalytic performance is limited by photocatalysts, which suffer from wide band gap and severe recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes. Therefore, we developed a Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst Fe-ZIF-8@AgCl, which was synthesized by combining pre-prepared Fe-ZIF-8 with AgCl. Meanwhile, the X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were employed to characterize the structure of Fe-ZIF-8@AgCl, and a series of photoelectric tests were conducted to demonstrate the photocatalytic properties of Fe-ZIF-8@AgCl. The results revealed that Fe-ZIF-8@AgCl had a remarkable 71.9 % removal efficiency of ciprofloxacin by photodegradation in 120 min. Fe-ZIF-8@AgCl could help reduce band gap energy, inhibit the recombination of photoelectrons and holes, lower the charge transfer resistance, and enhance the photocurrent response. Furthermore, Fe-ZIF-8@AgCl still maintained a high photocatalytic performance after 4 cycles, and ·O 2 - was detected and identified as the main photocatalytic active factor. Subsequently, the charge transfer mechanism of direct Z-scheme heterojunction was proposed, and the photocatalytic degradation pathways of ciprofloxacin were analyzed. In this study, Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst was prepared and showed great potential for efficient photodegradation of ciprofloxacin.

Bimetal doped Cu–Fe-zeolitic imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8)/graphitic carbon nitride (GCN) (Cu–Fe-ZIF-8/GCN) nanocomposites were prepared via one-pot and ion-exchange methods. The main influencing factors, such as adsorbent concentration, TC concentration, initial pH, and coexisting ions, were evaluated in detail. Due to the suitable pore structures and the presence of multiple interactions on the surface, the nanocomposite showed a high adsorption capacity up to 932 mg g−1 for tetracycline hydrochloride (TC), outperforming ZIF-8 by 4.8 times. The adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherm were depicted in good detail using pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir models, respectively. Thermodynamic calculation revealed that the adsorption of the nanocomposite under experimental conditions was a spontaneous heat absorption process, and was primarily driven by chemisorption. After four cycles of use, the nanocomposite retained 87.2% of its initial adsorption capacity, confirming its high reusability and broad application prospects in removing tetracycline-type pollutants from wastewater.

In recent years, lead (Pb) contaminated soil has caused irreversible damage to human beings. It is urgent to develop a novel technology for accurate detection of Pb in the soil solution. Herein, a new electrochemical sensor was fabricated. Fe/ZIF-8 was used as the modification material, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were electrodeposited, and DNAzyme was applied on the surface as the probe. Under the optimum conditions (DNAzyme concentration of 1 μmol, fixation time of 4 min, incubation time of 17 h and reaction time of 30 min), the detection range was 5×10 −12 ∼ 5×10 −5 M, and the minimum detection limit was 10 −13 M (3δ). Furthermore, the electrochemical sensor demonstrated outstanding anti-interference ability to common cations, anions, organic compounds and other interference factors. After four consecutive tests, the relative standard deviation (RSD) was only 0.39%, and it still displayed excellent reproducibility with 0.69% of RSD. After 20 days, the sensor’s response to Pb 2+ remained at 93.58%. In addition, the sensor could accurately detect Pb 2+ in the actual soil solutions, and the recoveries of the samples ranged from 92% to 109.4%. In conclusion, this electrochemical sensor can specifically detect Pb 2+ in the soil solution with enhanced sensitivity, anti-interference capability and stability, which is of great significance for Pb 2+ detection in the field.

Efficient removal of antibiotics from aqueous solution is of fundamental importance due to the increasingly severe antibiotic-related pollution. Herein, a high-performance Fe-ZIF-8-500 adsorbent was synthesized by Fe-doping strategy and subsequent activation with high-temperature. In order to evaluate the feasibility of Fe-ZIF-8-500 as an adsorbent for tetracycline (TC) removal, the adsorption properties of Fe-ZIF-8-500 were systematically explored. The results showed that the Fe-ZIF-8-500 exhibited ultrahigh adsorption capacity for TC with a record-high value of 867 mg g -1 . Additionally, the adsorption kinetics and isotherms for TC onto the Fe-ZIF-8-500 can be well-fitted by the pseudo-second-order kinetics model and the Freundlich model, respectively. The ultrahigh adsorption capacity of Fe-ZIF-8-500 can be explained by the synergistic effect of multi-affinities, i.e., surface complexation, electrostatic attraction, π-π interaction and hydrogen bonding. After being used for four cycles the adsorption capacity of Fe-ZIF-8-500 remains a high level, demonstrating its outstanding reusability. The ultrahigh adsorption capacity, excellent reusability, satisfactory water stability and easy-preparation nature of Fe-ZIF-8-500 highlight its bright prospect for removing tetracycline pollutant from wastewater.

In this work, a novel Fe/ND-CN composite was synthesized by anchoring iron single atoms onto nitrogen-deficient g-C 3 N 4 (ND-CN) using Fe-ZIF-8 as a precursor via calcination. This material served as a photoelectrocatalytic working electrode for U(VI) reduction under light and applied voltage. Remarkably, it achieved near-complete U(VI) removal (99.2%) at pH 5.0. The elucidated mechanism provides a highly efficient technique and theoretical foundation for low-concentration uranium wastewater treatment.

The application of ZIF nanomaterials as controlled release agents for pesticides holds significant promise in enhancing pesticide utilization efficiency, prolonging their effectiveness, and minimizing pesticide residues. However, the loading efficiency of single ZIF is limited and susceptible to external stimuli. Therefore, in order to improve the loading rate of the material and enhance the bioavailability of the pesticide, a novel porous nanocarrier (MPN (Fe) @ZIF-8) was prepared for loading the neonicotinoid pesticide thiacloprid (THIA) by combining the biocompatible material metal polyphenol network (MPN) with ZIF-8 using the co-precipitation method and layer-by-layer self-assembly strategy. Through the selection of carrier materials and optimization of loading conditions, MPN (Fe) @ZIF-8 with irregular coral-like structure was obtained, which had high specific surface area (82.15 m 2 /g) and excellent load ratio (18.93 %). In addition, with the aim of preventing pesticide leakage, polyethyleneimine (PEI) was added to the nanocarrier system as a sealing agent, and porous ZIF nanopesticides with pH-responsive properties (MPN (Fe) @ZIF-8@THIA@PEI) were prepared. In vitro release experiments showed that MPN (Fe) @ZIF-8@THIA@PEI favoured the release of THIA (72.33 % cumulative release) under alkaline conditions (pH = 8.6), whereas it was delayed (42.24 % cumulative release) under acidic conditions (pH = 3.6). It was noteworthy that MPN (Fe) @ZIF-8@THIA@PEI has a higher lethality rate (89.04 %) against B. tabaci than commercial THIA reagents (66.67 %). Furthermore, after 8 h of UV irradiation, the residual pesticide in the commercial THIA reagent was only 11.27 %, while that in MPN (Fe) @ZIF-8@THIA@PEI remained at 73.98 %. Hence, this work provides new ideas for the development of green and environmentally friendly stimuli-responsive porous controlled release agents.

In this work, potassium acetate (KAc) was added during the synthesis of a Zn-Fe based metal-organic framework (Fe-ZIF-8) to increase the fixed amount of Fe while simultaneously enhancing the number of pores. Electrospinning was utilized to embed KAc-modified Fe-ZIF-8 (Fe-ZIF-8-Ac) into the polyacrylonitrile nanofiber mesh, to obtain a network composite (Fe@NC-Ac) with hierarchical porous structure. Fe@NC-Ac was co-pyrolyzed with thiourea , resulting in Fe, N, S co-doped carbon electrocatalyst . The electrochemical tests indicated that the prepared catalyst displayed relatively remarkable oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalytic activity, with an onset potential (E onset ) of 1.08 V (vs. reversible hydrogen electrode, RHE) and a half-wave potential (E 1/2 ) of 0.94 V, both higher than those of the commercial Pt/C (E onset = 0.95 V and E 1/2 = 0.84 V), respectively. Assembled into Zn-air batteries, the optimized catalyst exhibited higher open circuit voltage (1.698 V) and peak power density (90 mW cm −2 ) than those of the commercial 20 wt% Pt/C (1.402 V and 80 mW cm −2 ), respectively. This work provided a straightforward manufacturing strategy for the design of hierarchical porous carbon-based ORR catalysts with desirable performance.

In order to improve the catalytic performance of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), it is pivotal to increase the density and accessibility of the active sites. Herein, we have developed a template-free melamine-assisted cocalcined strategy to afford Fe-embedded and N-doped carbons (Fe–N–C) with not only high density of atomically dispersed Fe–Nx active sites but also abundant three-dimensional interconnected mesopores by directly pyrolyzing Fe-ZIF-8 covered with a controllable melamine layer. It is demonstrated that the introduction of melamine in the precursor plays a key role in constructing various carbonized products with controllable morphology, porosity, and components. With an optimal mass ratio 1:1 of melamine to Fe-ZIF-8, the resultant Fe@MNC-1 exhibits excellent ORR activity and stability, which exceeds 20 wt % commercial Pt/C catalyst (with a half-wave potential of 0.88 V vs 0.85 V) in an alkaline electrolyte and is even comparable to the commercial Pt/C catalyst (with a half-wave potential of 0.78 V vs 0.80 V) in an acidic electrolyte. To the best of our knowledge, Fe@MNC-1 can be ranked among the best nonprecious metal electrocatalysts for ORR in both alkaline and acidic media. The present synthetic strategy may provide a new opportunity for the design and construction of metal–organic framework-derived nanomaterials with rational composition and a desired porous structure to boost their electrocatalytic performance.

The development of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) catalysts with sufficient active sites and high mass transfer capacity is a desirable but challenging aspect in advanced oxidation processes. In this work, an Fe/N-co-doped porous carbon (Fe/N-PC) material derived from silica-coated Fe-doped zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (Fe-ZIF-8) was developed and used as catalyst for the degradation of aflatoxin B 1 (AFB 1 ). Fe-ZIF-8 introduced additional Fe-N sites with high catalytic PMS activity. Importantly, the strategy of silica coating on the surface of Fe-ZIF-8 effectively prevented the aggregation of catalyst particles during the pyrolysis process and introduced a hierarchical porous structure in Fe/N-PC, significantly improving the mass transfer of reactants on the catalyst. As a result, Fe/N-PC possessed a much higher adsorption capacity for AFB 1 (202.8 mg g −1 ) than other reported carbon adsorbents and exhibited fast degradation of AFB 1 with ultra-high removal efficiency (99.88%) within 30 min. Singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) was proved to be the dominant reactive species for AFB 1 degradation. In addition, four degradation products were identified, and two possible degradation pathways were proposed. The double bond of the terminal furan ring or the methoxy group was destroyed, which implied that the toxicity of the degradation products was significantly reduced. Based on the above results, Fe/N-PC can be considered an efficient catalyst for the removal of hard-to-degrade AFB 1 in practical applications.

Designing artificial nano-enzymes for scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) in chondrocytes (CHOs) is considered the most feasible pathway for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA). However, the accumulation of ROS due to the amount of nano-enzymatic catalytic site exposure and insufficient oxygen supply seriously threatens the clinical application of this therapy. Although metal–organic framework (MOF) immobilization of artificial nano-enzymes to enhance active site exposure has been extensively studied, artificial nano-enzymes/MOFs for ROS scavenging in OA treatment are still lacking. In this study, a biocompatible lubricating hydrogel-loaded iron-doped zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (Fe/ZIF-8/Gel) centrase was engineered to scavenge endogenous overexpressed ROS synergistically generating dissolved oxygen and enhancing sustained lubrication for CHOs as a ternary artificial nano-enzyme. This property enabled the nano-enzymatic hydrogels to mitigate OA hypoxia and inhibit oxidative stress damage successfully. Ternary strategy-based therapies show excellent cartilage repair in vivo. The experimental results suggest that nano-enzyme-enhanced lubricating hydrogels are a potentially effective OA treatment and a novel strategy.
