MXene has a multilayer structure, which can be peeled and layered into single or multilayer nanosheets, and it possesses multiple functional groups that can be easily modified. MOF-303, a kind of metal–organic framework material, was synthesized by the solvent hydrothermal method using aluminum ion as the center metal and 3,5-pyrazole dicarboxylic acid as the organic ligand. In this paper, MOF-303 was grown in situ on Ti3C2Tx MXene to synthesize the MXene@MOF-303 composite, which combined the advantages of both MXene and MOF-303. Using the MXene@MOF-303 composite as blending fillers and a polyacrylonitrile (PAN) ultrafiltration (UF) membrane as the substrate, an MXene@MOF-303/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/PAN composite membrane was fabricated. The composites and membranes were characterized by FTIR, XRD, SEM, and the pervaporation desalination of the composite membrane was also tested. The experimental results showed that the incorporation of MXene@MOF-303 composites improved the separation performance of the PVA membrane. The MXene@MOF-303/PVA/PAN composite membrane, loaded with 0.5 wt % of MXene@MOF-303, achieved a high flux of 15.87 kg·m–2·h–1 and a rejection of 99.84% when desalinating 3.5 wt % NaCl solution at 35 °C by pervaporation.

The membrane-based pervaporation process presents substantial promise for the challenging separation of azeotropic mixtures. However, the efficiency of conventional polymeric membranes in achieving this remains suboptimal. To tackle this issue, there has been notable attention directed towards the amalgamation of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with polymer matrices, giving rise to the creation of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs). In this study, for the first time, we integrated MOF-303 crystals into a chitosan (CS) matrix, thereby pioneering the development of MOF-303/CS MMMs designed for the separation of azeotropic mixtures of methanol/methyl tert -butyl ether (MTBE). By employing the spin-coating method, a thin and defect-free MOF-303/CS membrane layer was effectively deposited onto a porous substrate. The morphology and physiochemical attributes of the synthesized MOF-303 crystals and the subsequent MOF-303/CS MMMs were analyzed using techniques such as SEM, XRD, TGS, and FTIR. The separation data revealed a marked enhancement in flux and methanol permeance upon the introduction of MOF-303 crystals into the CS membrane, whereas the increase in MTBE flux and permeance was relatively few, resulting in an augmented methanol/MTBE separation factor and selectivity. The optimized MOF-303/CS MMM demonstrated outstanding and enduring separation efficacy, demonstrating a total flux of 173 g/m 2 ·h and a methanol/MTBE separation factor of 209 at 40 °C for 10 wt% methanol-MTBE mixtures. Notably, this performance surpassed that of the pure CS membrane by nearly 1.6 times in total flux and 3.68 times in separation factor, respectively, underscoring its substantial potential in the efficient separation of azeotropic mixtures.

Water scarcity has become one of the largest crises in the world, especially for people living in arid areas. Among all water sources, atmospheric water has the advantages of less geographical limitation and less environmental impact of the water production process. The use of solar-powered atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) has become a viable solution to the problem of water scarcity in arid regions. MOF-303 is a robust and water-stable MOF that collects water at low relative humidity (RH ≤ 30%) and releases it under mild heating. However, its actual demonstrated water absorption remains unsatisfactory, which limits its application in the field of water harvesting. Here, we propose a high-performance composite adsorbent of hygroscopic salt-modified MOF, and obtain the composite adsorbent MOF-303@LiCl by confining LiCl in the pores of MOF-303. The composite adsorbent exhibited excellent water absorption of 0.61 g g-1 at low relative humidity (25℃, 30% RH) and high adsorption kinetics (adsorption saturated at 80 min). By adding a certain proportion of the photothermal material CB, MOF-303@LiCl could be heated up to 66.1℃ under one solar irradiation and achieved desorption within 60 min. The adsorption-desorption cycle of this composite adsorbent can be fed by natural sunlight without the need for optical focusing and additional energy input. The fast adsorption-desorption kinetics allow for multiple cycles of AWH in a single day, which has great potential in water harvesting.

In order to solve the problem of difficult precise nutrient release caused by loose pores in bio-based coated controlled-release fertilizers, this study explores the integration of Metal–Organic Framework (MOF) materials into bio-based coatings. Specifically, MOF-303 is synthesized and used to modify biocomposite coatings mainly derived from natural bio-polyol castor oil, which improved the controlled release performance through unique self-assembling and pore-forming properties of MOF-303. Characterization confirmed the successful incorporation of MOF-303 into the bio-based coatings, resulting in a smoother surface and fewer pores. Specifically, MOF-303 is synthesized and used to modify biocomposite coatings mainly derived from castor oil, which enhanced the controlled-release performance by adjusting the pore structure of the coating. The modified CRFs demonstrated improved controlled-release performance, with nitrogen (N) release periods extending from 63 days in unmodified coatings to 77 and 105 days with 1% and 1.5% MOF-303, respectively. Application trials on potted spinach revealed significant benefits, with yield increases of 37.51% and 30.83% under U and M1 treatment, respectively. This study highlights the potential of MOF-303-modified bio-based CRFs (MBCFs) to offer sustained and precise nutrient supply, thereby improving agricultural productivity and efficiency.

Durable anti-fouling membranes for the effective and simultaneous removal of insoluble oil droplets and organic dyes from wastewater need to be developed urgently. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are emergent porous organic–inorganic hybrid materials, that have been attracting increasing attention because of wide applications, such as liquid separation, dye adsorption, and catalysis. However, the preparation of a well-intergrown MOF membrane remains challenging, because of poor water stability and low affinity between MOF grains and substrates. Herein, we report the first preparation of a continuous, water-stable MOF-coated mesh with an ordered porous structure by using a simple hydrothermal method to realize array growth of MOF-303 crystals on a layered double-hydroxide modified mesh surface. As the MOF-303 has a high water uptake capability, the prepared MOF-303 @SSM with sufficient surface hydration exhibited superhydrophilicity-underwater superoleophobicity and excellent antifouling performance. This membrane was used for gravity-driven separation of oil/water mixtures at high flux (> 12308 L m −2 h −1 ) and efficiency (> 99.35%). This membrane simultaneously and efficiently removed an oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion and water-soluble dyes, and exhibited outstanding reusability. More importantly, MOF-303 @SSM is promising for practical applications because of outstanding physical and chemical stability, as well as high thermal stability, under harsh environmental conditions. Therefore, this study provides a promising strategy to develop a functional MOF membrane for purifying hazardous wastewater.

Humidity-temperature dual-functional sensors show great demand in healthcare and archaeology, requiring sensors with high sensitivity, high resolution and high stability. In this work, utilizing the post-coordination strategy, the uncoordinated N atoms in MOF-303 were used as the metal chelate sites to chelate CuCl 2 , and due to the accordion-like morphology, the obtained material shows potential in humidity sensing and temperature sensing. The CuCl 2 -MOF-303 based sensor shows whole range humidity sensing with response of 11.4 at 33 % RH and 56,700 at 95 % RH, 1 % RH of resolution and good long-term stability (>90 days), and excellent temperature sensing performance of high sensitivity (–3.3 %/°C), high linearity (R 2 >0.99) and high resolution (0.3 °C) in the temperature range of 35–38 °C. Furthermore, the application of sensor in healthcare, noncontact sensing and information transmission is verified. This study provides a preliminary exploration for the application of MOFs in humidity-temperature dual-functional sensors.

As an emerging metal–organic framework (MOF) material in recent years, the MOF-303 membrane has shown great potential applications in seawater desalination, dehydration, and atmospheric water harvesting. Herein, we report on a dense and uniform MOF-303 membrane fabricated by a facile in situ hydrothermal synthesis approach in the presence of an anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) channel membrane acting as the only Al source and substrate. Interestingly, the MOF-303 isomer can be obtained due to an insufficient amount of organic ligand caused by the less hydrophilic and larger pore size of the AAO substrate. The MOF-based composite membranes possessed surface-charge-governed ionic transport behavior. Moreover, the MOF-303/AAO membrane yielded an output power density of 1.87 W/m2 under a 50-fold KCl concentration gradient. Under a 50-fold gradient of artificial seawater and river water, a maximum power density of 1.46 W/m2 can be obtained. After 30 days of stability testing, the composite membrane still maintained the power output, and the power density was higher than 1.20 W/m2. This work provides a facile and effective strategy for constructing Al-based MOF composite membranes and boosts their applications in harvesting salinity-gradient energy.

High-efficiency polyamide nanofiltration membranes were recognized as crucial for alleviating freshwater scarcity. However, the rapid reaction rate between piperazine (PIP) and trimesoyl chloride (TMC) resulted in low membrane flux and suboptimal separation efficiency, which limited the application and development of membrane technology. Herein, a novel MOF-303@GO nanomaterials were prepared by in-situ growth method, which were anchored in the framework of the substrate membrane through a phase separation method to regulate the speed of interfacial polymerization reaction to improve the performance of composite nanofiltration membranes. The MOF-303@GO was found to exhibit an adsorption effect on PIP monomers for the accumulation of the PIP molecules around the MOF-303@GO in the membrane pore, which effectively slowed transfer rate of PIP. This process resulted in a thin PA layer and rough surface, which alleviated the resistance to water molecule transport during the membrane separation process. The adsorption mechanism between MOF-303@GO and PIP was profoundly demonstrated by density-functional theory calculations. Besides, the fabricated membrane demonstrated a good water permeability of 14.53 L·m −2 ·h −1 ·bar −1 , along as well as a high Na 2 SO 4 rejection of 96.56 %. This research provided a novel material to regulate the diffusion state of PIP molecules and introduced a key strategy for uniformly blending to modify the substrate membrane, offering a potential solution to the issue of excessively rapid IP reaction rates.

The current oil-water separation field is extremely complex and the material system is variable. Therefore, the full process applicability of membrane technology is extremely demanding, both in terms of high oil-water separation efficiency and the treatment of soluble substances in wastewater, such as heavy metal ions. The high demand for membrane performance is accompanied by the complexity of the membrane manufacturing process, resulting in the development of membrane technology being hindered. If we can purify heavy metal ions from wastewater while meeting the conditions of oil-water treatment, and simplify the process flow, it is an innovation that we are happy to see. Herein, the use of a seed pre-embedded growth strategy is taking polyacrylamide (PEI) as a breakthrough point, we take advantage of blending to introduce embedding sites in polyacrylonitrile (PAN) membranes. Uniform growth of MOF-303 with Burr Puzzle structure on membrane surface using in situ hydrothermal growth method. The Burr Puzzles structure on the membrane surface is not only able to effectively deal with nanoscale stabilized oil-water mixture and effectively adsorb heavy metal ions, but also enables the MOF-303 crystals to grow more firmly on the membrane surface, so that the modified membrane still maintains good performance in harsh environments. The separation fluxes of the oil-in-water emulsions were all higher than 6987 L m −2 h −1 for oil-in-water emulsion with a separation efficiency of 98.4 %, and the adsorption efficiency of heavy metal ions was also as high as 98.3 %. After 20 cycles, the membrane maintains its promising performance. Due to its simple preparation process and excellent efficiency of emulsions separation and heavy metal ions separation, simplifies complex membrane processes while meeting the rigors of wastewater treatment. it has great prospects for development in the current complex wastewater treatment process.

The capture of toxic radioiodine is an increasingly important priority for the safe development of nuclear energy. Copper is a promising alternative for expensive silver to capture iodine. To develop novel copper-based adsorbents and determine the effect of copper species on iodine adsorption, the metal–organic framework with dual-pyrazole ligands (MOF-303) is employed as the scaffold to bind Cu 2+ species. Cu 0 nanoparticles were formed after the reduction by NaBH 4 . The obtained Cu 2+ -MOF-303 and Cu 0 -MOF-303 show high iodine uptake capacities at 353 K, 747 mg·g −1 and 837 mg·g −1 , respectively. They also show high iodine uptake capacities of more than 300 mg·g −1 at a high temperature (423 K), which are better than other Cu-based adsorbents. Besides, the loading of Cu can enhance the iodine selectivity under humid vapor, and iodine adsorption rate in iodine-cyclohexane solutions. The Cu 0 on Cu 0 -MOF-303 can react with iodine directly via the redox mechanism. For Cu 2+ -MOF-303, the adjacent pyrazole ligands can chelate with Cu 2+ ions strongly and transfer charges to trapped iodine to form polyiodide anions, and thus stable CuI species could also be generated. The strategy of anchoring Cu species using MOF-303 provides large channels for iodine diffusion, and highly-dispersed Cu and N sites for iodine capture.

This study applied a novel strategy to modify an inert fluorine-containing surface by combining alkaline lignin (AL) and silk fibroin (SF), introducing many active sites. The intercalation sites of SF during the formation of the AL coating allow the shape of the Mortise-Tenon metal-organic framework (MOF). MOF-303 with a Mortise-Tenon structure was grown on the surface of the membrane. The PVDF@MOF-303 membrane possesses superhydrophilic/underwater superoleophobic properties. The modified membrane showed perfect resistance to oil adhesion. Stable oil-in-water emulsions and toxic heavy metal ions can be separated by the PVDF@MOF-303 membrane with a Mortise-Tenon structure. This membrane has achieved outstanding oil-in-water emulsion separation efficiency (over 99.2 %) and flux (over 4200.0 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 ). After ten repeated experiments, a separation efficiency of 93.0 % was obtained. This membrane was used for heavy metal adsorption with high capacity (over 3374.4 mg m −2 ) and efficiency (over 99.6 %). Even more importantly, harmful heavy metal ions soluble in water can be effectively removed during emulsion separation. It can modify other substrates due to the easy preparation method and efficient performance described in this report.

Amorphous noble metals often display excellent sensitization due to their unsaturated atomic coordination and abundant active sites on the surface. In this work, amorphous palladium–ruthenium bimetallic nanoparticles were successfully prepared by lithium doping and incorporated into MOF-303 by using a confinement strategy. Compared with crystalline c-PdRuOx@MOF-303, the low-humidity sensor constructed with amorphous a-PdRuOx@MOF-303 exhibits higher response values (3600 Hz to 3.39% RH), shorter response/recovery time (9/7 s), low-humidity hysteresis (0.16% RH) and excellent stability. Meanwhile, the a-PdRuOx@MOF-303 sensor has been further explored to achieve continuous monitoring of human breathing, cough, and finger humidity, providing broad application prospects for amorphous materials in wearable medical devices and noncontact human–machine interactions. Additionally, the sensitive mechanism was explored by GCMC methods. The simulation results demonstrate that introducing a-PdRuOx into the pores of MOF-303 leads to significant enhancement in adsorption properties. This improvement is not only due tothe increase of active sites provided by a-PdRuOx but also the substantial rise in adsorption energy for the hydrophilic pocket of MOF-303. The adsorption energy increases from −25.70 to −31.56 kJ/mol, highlighting that the abundant active sites of the a-PdRuOx work in synergy with the hydrophilic pocket of MOF-303. This synergy enables the adsorption and activation of more water molecules, effectively enhancing the overall adsorption capacity and performance of the MOF-303.
