Enhancing photocatalytic performance via electronic modulation have attracted much attention for synergetic photocatalytic degradation of antibiotic pollutant. In this study, a new hetero-structured system is raised, which comprises In 2 S 3 coupled to In-MOF and operates as an efficient photocatalyst for RhB degradation. The formation of hetero-structure and occurred electron modulation of In 2 S 3 /In-MOF hybrid was confirmed by relevant characterizations. Surprisingly, the In 2 S 3 /In-MOF hybrid represented enhanced photocatalytic ability over In-MOF. The photocatalysis of Rhodamine B in presence of In 2 S 3 /In-MOF hybrid has achieved 92.2 % degradation.

The interfaces in heterostructure photocatalysts play an important role in charge migration, but the rational controllable interfacial construction remains a challenge. Herein, a covalently bonded interface with delocalized π bonds was controllably constructed via the encapsulation of UiO-66-NH2 nanoparticles in MUV-10 skeletons. The UiO-66-NH2/MUV-10 heterojunction enabled both efficient capture and conversion of CO2 and H2O. The delocalized π bond in the covalent interface efficiently accelerated interfacial charge migration, suppressed carrier recombination, and reduced the work function for electronic effusion. As a consequence, UiO-66-NH2/MUV-10 exhibited superior CO2 photoreduction activity with H2O under visible light irradiation in the gas–solid phase. The CO evolution rate reached as high as 38.7 μmol g−1 h−1, which surpassed that of most commonly reported gas–solid phase photocatalysts. This work not only provides a feasible strategy for the controllable construction of interfaces but also demonstrates the great potential of interfacial engineering for efficient photocatalysis and other related areas.

The design of an efficient adsorbent for Au(III) has remained a challenging research focus, as the adsorbent needs to overcome competition from other ions while simultaneously addressing pore blockage caused by the reduction of Au(III) to elemental gold. In this study, we report the synthesis of a hierarchically porous metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with ultra-large pores (300 nm) using the “MOF in MOF” method. This material facilitates enhanced adsorption kinetics by increasing the rate of gold ion adsorption and effectively prevents pore blockage resulting from Au(III) reduction, enabling access to the majority of adsorption sites. Batch experiments were conducted, and various complex water mixtures, including freshwater, simulated electronic waste solution, and gold ore leachate, were tested to demonstrate the rapid extraction of trace amounts of gold by the developed adsorbent. Remarkably, without additional functionalization, the adsorbent solely based on its pore advantage achieved a gold adsorption capacity of 1184 mg/g and reached 80 % adsorption within just 5 min (C0 = 100 mg/L, V/m = 2 L/g). Furthermore, the gold recovered from the leachate of gold ore exhibited a purity of 23.8 K (99.2 % purity).

Solid-state lithium-ion batteries with high safety are the encouraging next-generation rechargeable electrochemical energy storage devices. Yet, low Li + conductivity of solid electrolyte and instability of solid–solid interface are the key issues hampering the practicability of the solid electrolyte. In this research, core–shell MOF-in-MOF nanopores UIO-66@67 are proposed as a unique bifunctional host of ionic liquid (IL) to fabricate core–shell ionic liquid–solid electrolyte (CSIL). In the current design of CSIL, the shell structure (UIO-67) has a large pore size and a high specific surface area, boosting the absorption amount of ionic liquid electrolyte, thus increasing the ionic conductivity. Nevertheless, the core structure (UIO-66) has a small pore size compared to the ionic liquid, which can confine the large ions, decreasing their mobility, and selectively boost the transport of Li + . The CSIL solid electrolyte exhibits considerable enhancement in the lithium transference number ( t Li + ) and ionic conductivity compared to the homogenous porous host (pure UIO-66 and UIO-67). Additionally, the Li|CSIL|Li symmetric batteries maintain a stable polarization of less than 28 mV for more than 1000 h at 1000 µA cm −2 . Overall, the results demonstrate the concept of core–shell MOF-in-MOF nanopores as a promising bifunctional host of electrolytes for solid-state or quasi-solid-state rechargeable batteries.

Refining the visible light absorption and optimizing the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs are pivotal in enhancing the photocatalytic activity of composites. A novel Z-scheme plasma photocatalyst, Ag/Ag 3 PO 4 /In-MOF (A/AP/In), was developed in this study. Experimental results demonstrated that A/AP/In exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity for BPA among all samples tested, achieving complete degradation of 50 ppm BPA within 30 min, as well as its apparent degradation rate was about 11 times higher than that of pure Ag 3 PO 4 and 4 times higher than that of pure In-MOF. The enhanced photocatalytic activity can be mainly attributed to the existence of Z-type heterojunctions and the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect induced by Ag nanoparticles , which facilitate efficient migration and separation of photogenerated carriers. Meanwhile, the incorporation of Ag nanoparticles enhances visible light absorption and protects Ag 3 PO 4 from photocorrosion in the composites. Moreover, A/AP/In maintains the large specific surface area of In-MOF and provides abundant reactive active sites. In addition, the photocatalytic performance of A/AP/In was above 90 % after five consecutive cycles confirming its good stability. Overall, this study proposes a novel approach for constructing bifunctional composites with efficient adsorption/catalytic degradation.

Periodate (PI) is widely used in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) due to its unique oxidizing properties. However, excessive residual PI can negatively impact water quality. Here, we report a novel dual-ligand metal-organic framework (MOF), In-MOF, which exhibits excellent performance for PI detection in complex environmental water samples. In-MOF was constructed using 2-aminoterephthalic acid (BDC-NH 2 ) and biphenyl-3,3′,5,5′-tetracarboxylic acid (H 4 BPTC) ligands and features internal molecular hydrogen bonding and photoinduced electron transfer (PET) effects, significantly enhancing its selectivity and stability in aqueous environments. In its native state, the fluorescence of In-MOF is quenched due to its intrinsic PET effect. However, upon interaction with PI, the disruption of internal hydrogen bonds and inhibition of the PET process results in the emergence of bright blue fluorescence. Experimental results demonstrate that In-MOF maintains high selectivity for PI even in the presence of common oxidants and by-products (such as iodate) found in industrial processes. Furthermore, a paper-based platform was developed for on-site PI detection, further expanding the application potential of this MOF-based sensor for environmental monitoring. These findings highlight In-MOF as an efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly solution for periodate detection across various water sources.

The highly efficient removal of radioactive iodine from nuclear accident-polluted seawater is of great significance for the purpose of environmental protection. Herein, we report an indium-based metal–organic framework, named In-MOF, for highly efficient removing iodine from seawater. In-MOF is constructed by In 3+ ions coordinated with tris (4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl) phenyl) amine and exhibits high chemical stability even under seawater for 30 days. Due to the flexible one-dimensional linear structure and high-density charged imidazolium groups, In-MOF possesses a high adsorption capacity (1138 mg/g) for iodine in water. Furthermore, it exhibits high selectivity in the presence of competitive ions, due to forming the unique I-π interactions between iodine and the In-MOF. Notably, these excellent adsorption features endowed In-MOF successfully remove iodine from seawater with a high removal rate of 93.86%. These results are of fundamental importance to understanding iodine uptake and designing materials with high adsorption capacity.

Treating dye-contaminated wastewater using the visible light–driven photo-Fenton reaction is beneficial to environmental remediation. This paper reports the synthesis of a novel, highly effective photo-Fenton catalyst, the Zn/Co-ZIFs@MIL-101(Fe) composite, by a facile internal-growth method. The composite, which had an MOF-in-MOF structure, activated H 2 O 2 to decompose RhB, a polluting-dye model, under visible-light illumination. The transfer of the electron–hole pair was synergistically accelerated by the reaction centers of the composite (the MIL-101(Fe) shell and Zn/Co-ZIFs core), which enhanced H 2 O 2 activation. The generated OH, O 2 − , and 1 O 2 effectively decomposed RhB. The composite’s catalytic performance was significantly enhanced by the electronic hybridization of its Fe 3+ , Co 2+ , and Zn 2+ metal centers. Thus, the composite demonstrated a remarkable capability to remove RhB. The composite polymetallic MOFs loaded with 3% Zn/Co-ZIFs prepared by us showed good reusability and water stability, and their morphology and structure did not change significantly after four runs, depending on the iron, cobalt, and zinc metal leaching concentrations 0.134 mg/L, 0.06 mg/L and 0.054 mg/L respectively. This study provides a novel method to construct an Zn/Co-ZIFs@MIL-101(Fe) catalyst with dual reaction centers that enhance the transfer of electron–hole pairs. Our findings inspire the application of MOF-based photo-Fenton catalysts to wastewater treatment and environmental remediation.

Achieving percolation pathways in a metal-organic framework (MOF)–based mixed matrix membrane (MMM) without compromising its mechanical properties is challenging. We developed phase separated (PS)–MMMs with an interconnected MOF domain running across the whole membrane. Through demixing two immiscible polyimides, the MOF particles were selectively partitioned into one of the preferred polymer domains at over 50 volume % local packing density, leading to a percolated network at only 19 weight % MOF loading. The CO2 permeability of this PS-MMM is 6.6 times that of the pure polymer membrane, while the CO2/N2 and CO2/CH4 selectivity remain largely unchanged. Meanwhile, benefiting from its unique co-continuous morphology, the PS-MMM also exhibited markedly improved membrane ductility compared to the conventional MMM at similar MOF loading. PS-MMMs offer a practical solution to simultaneously achieve high membrane permeability and good mechanical properties.

In this work, we activate metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) by applying the general vacuum heating (VH) method or the solvent exchange (SE) method, and encapsulate PSt into the MOF channels by the in-situ polymerization. For the SE method, methanol is optimal to exchange the DMF molecules inside MOF. The effectiveness of these two activation methods is compared. The results show that the MOF activated via the SE method has a higher specific surface area and a larger pore volume than the MOF activated via the general VH method. Also, the SE method is more efficient for the removal of DMF from the MOF channels, and leaves more open metal sites. Specifically, the amounts of loaded monomers inside the MOF activated via the SE method and the general VH method are 4.58 and 2.67 mmol/cm 3 . Furthermore, the MOF activated via the SE method has better retention of the channel structure and more free volume in the channels. This can increase the mobility of the monomers. As a consequence, the conversion rate of 47.57% from St to PSt is achieved in the MOF activated via the SE method, which is 50.21% higher than that obtained via the general VH method.

Hydrogen/carbon dioxide (H 2 /CO 2 ) separation for sustainable energy is in desperate need of reliable membranes at high temperatures. Molecular sieve membranes take their nanopores to differentiate sizes between H 2 and CO 2 but have compromised at a marked loss of selectivity at high temperatures owing to diffusion activation of CO 2 . We used molecule gatekeepers that were locked in the cavities of the metal-organic framework membrane to meet this challenge. Ab initio calculations and in situ characterizations demonstrate that the molecule gatekeepers make a notable move at high temperatures to dynamically reshape the sieving apertures as being extremely tight for CO 2 and restitute with cool conditions. The H 2 /CO 2 selectivity was improved by an order of magnitude at 513 kelvin (K) relative to that at the ambient temperature.

The development of supercapacitors is impeded by the unclear relationships between nanoporous electrode structures and electrochemical performance, primarily due to challenges in decoupling the complex interdependencies of various structural descriptors. While machine learning (ML) techniques offer a promising solution, their application is hindered by the lack of large, unified databases. Herein, constant-potential molecular simulation is used to construct a unified supercapacitor database with hundreds of metal–organic framework (MOF) electrodes. Leveraging this database, well-trained decision-tree-based ML models achieve fast, accurate, and interpretable predictions of capacitance and charging rate, experimentally validated by a representative case. SHAP analyses reveal that specific surface area (SSA) governs gravimetric capacitance while pore size effects are minimal, attributed to the strong dependence of electrode-ion coordination on SSA rather than pore size. SSA and porosity, respectively, dominate volumetric capacitance in 1D-pore and 3D-pore MOFs, pinnacling the indispensable effects of pore dimensionality. Meanwhile, porosity is found to be the most decisive factor in the charging rate for both 1D-pore and 3D-pore MOFs. Especially for 3D-pore MOFs, an exponential increase in porosity is observed in both ionic conductance and in-pore ion diffusion coefficient, ascribed to loosened ion packing. These findings provide profound insights for the design of high-performance supercapacitor electrodes.
