The urgent need for multifunctional, high-performance materials is critical in addressing environmental pollution and energy shortages faced by contemporary society. This research presents innovative NH 2 -MIL-88B/Ta 4 C 3 T X /graphene aerogels that exhibit exceptional capabilities in photocatalysis and thermal energy storage utilizing solar energy. Synthesized through a combination of hydrothermal and freeze-drying methods, these aerogels feature unique structural characteristics, including a hierarchical porous structure, low density, and a large specific surface area. Furthermore, the synergistic effects of NH 2 -MIL-88B, Ta 4 C 3 T X MXene, and the aerogel matrix contribute to remarkable physicochemical properties, such as high sunlight absorptivity and an optimal optical band gap that aligns well with the solar spectrum. These attributes enable the aerogels to photodegrade various dye and antibiotic drug solutions with high concentrations. The photodegradation efficiencies achieved were 75.57 % for Congo red, 61.56 % for methylene blue, and 58.57 % for tetracycline hydrochloride. Additionally, these aerogels exhibit significant adsorption capacities for various dyes and drugs. Moreover, when the phase change material polyethylene glycol is successfully integrated into the aerogels, they exhibit excellent thermal energy storage performance with leak-proof capabilities. A high photothermal conversion efficiency of 90.15 %, a phase enthalpy of 202.13 J g −1 , and an enthalpy efficiency of 98.55 % provide evidence for this. This work provides valuable insights into the development of multifunctional aerogels aimed at addressing the challenges of wastewater treatment and energy shortages.

The electron transfer rate in photocatalysts is one of the factors determining their hydrogen production activity. In this work, NH2-MIL-88B(Fe) (NFM) was synthesized using a one-step hydrothermal synthesis method and NFM/GDY-25 (NFMG-25) was successfully synthesized by loading graphdiyne (GDY) onto the surface of NFM. The hydrogen production performance and the mechanism of the prepared photocatalysts were systematically investigated using XRD, SEM, FT-IR, XPS, UV-Vis, PL and photoelectrochemical tests. The results showed that the hydrogen production of NFMG-25 reached 61.7 μmol in 5 hours. Photoelectrochemical and Mott–Schottky tests demonstrated that the composite catalyst exhibited high photogenerated carrier separation efficiency and single catalysts were n-type semiconductors. The conduction bands of NFM and GDY were −0.36 V and −0.56 V, respectively, while the valence bands were 1.90 V and 1.12 V. NFM acted as an electron acceptor and donor, which accelerated the transfer of the electrons, and enhanced the photocatalytic hydrogen production efficiency of the composite system. This study provides an effective method for using NFM in photocatalytic hydrogen production.

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) possess excellent post-modification characteristics, high specific surface area, diversity of skeleton composition and pore tunability, have been increasingly applied in membrane modifications. In this work, NH 2 -MIL-88B(Fe) (NM88B) was first fixed onto polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane by polyethyleneimine (PEI) through a vacuum-assisted self-assembly process, and the deposited NM88B was subsequently grafted with perfluoroalkyl polyethoxyacetic acid (FPEOAA) via a condensation reaction to realize the surface modifications. The modified membranes (named as N1F x ) showed improved hydrophilicity and underwater-oleophobicity. In addition, very high pure water flux (up to 9403 L‧m −2 ‧h −1 ) was obtained for the N1F x membranes due to the high porosity of introduced NM88B. In the dead-end filtration experiments of n -hexadecane-water emulsion, the optimum membrane N1F20 showed a good oil rejection rate (98.3%) and high permeation flux (667 L‧m −2 ‧h −1 ) which is approximately seven times of the pure PVDF membrane, indicating that the surface-modified membranes had excellent permeability and good separation performance. Even after four filtration cycles of oil-water emulsion, the rejection rate maintained higher than 97%, showing good reusability. Furthermore, the study found that N1F20 had certain acid and alkaline resistance and great potential for engineering applications.

Rational design of viable routes to develop affordable and efficient oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts is essential for advancing electrochemical water splitting, yet significant challenges remain, particularly in seawater. Here, we propose a ligand defect engineering strategy to modify the electronic structure of NH2-MIL-88B(Fe) using a monodentate ligand (acetic acid, AcOH), inducing ligand vacancies in NH2-MIL-88B(Fe) for oxygen evolution in an alkaline seawater electrolyte, thereby improving the performance of the electrocatalysts. The resulting defective MOFs (denoted as NH2-MIL-88B(Fe)-x) exhibited exceptionally high catalytic activity for OER, requiring low overpotentials of 313 and 329 mV at a current density of 100 mA cm−2 in 1 M KOH and simulated seawater (1 M KOH + 0.5 M NaCl) solutions, respectively. Experimental analyses revealed that the introduction of AcOH can modulate the d-band center of active sites in NH2-MIL-88B(Fe)-x and play a critical role in alleviating chloride ion (Cl−) corrosion, thereby enhancing catalytic stability in seawater. When directly used as an OER catalyst in an alkaline electrolyte, wind and solar power were harnessed to operate the NH2-MIL-88B(Fe)-x || Pt/C configuration to drive the electrolytic water reaction. Thus, the ligand defect strategy can be employed to design and prepare high-performance OER electrocatalysts, particularly for generating H2 through water electrolysis powered by renewable energy sources.

A nanostructured organic–inorganic framework, hexagonal NH 2 -MIL-88B, has been prepared through a facile one-pot reflux reaction and then it was characterized using various techniques. The as-prepared sample with high specific surface area (414 m 2 g −1 ) showed excellent adsorption for 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP) in the liquid phase. Detailed studies of the adsorption kinetics, adsorption mechanism, adsorption isotherm, activation energy and various thermodynamic parameters were conducted. The adsorption mechanism of NH 2 -MIL-88B for TNP may be ascribed to hydrogen bond interaction, and the complexation between ─OH in TNP and unsaturated Fe(III) on the surface of NH 2 -MIL-88B. The maximum adsorption capacity of NH 2 -MIL-88B for TNP based on the Langmuir isotherm was 163.66 mg g −1 . The as-prepared NH 2 -MIL-88B adsorbent seems to be a promising material in practice for TNP removal from aqueous solution.

The presence of the antibiotics in the wastewater has posed a huge risk to aquatic life and human health. It is a great significance to develop an effective technology to treat the antibiotics-containing wastewater. In this study, a series of g-C 3 N 4 /NH 2 -MIL-88B(Fe) composite photocatalysts are synthesized through a simple one-step method. The structure and optical properties of prepared photocatalysts are detected by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV–Vis absorption spectra (UV–Vis DRS), photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy and transient photocurrent techniques, respectively. FESEM and TEM show that MOF is uniformly dispersed in petaloid g-C 3 N 4 . The uniform dispersion of Fe-MOFs in the heterojunction composites increases the specific surface area ( S BET ) of g-C 3 N 4 , which results in a great adsorption property for the nanocomposite. The capture experiment shows that • O 2 − and h + are the main active substances in ciprofloxacin (CIP) degradation. These prepared composite photocatalysts exhibit excellent CIP photodegradation activity under visibly light irradiation with an apparent rate constant of 0.0127 min − 1 (3.74 times as the rate of single component). The remarkable catalytic performance can be ascribed to the fact that the g-C 3 N 4 /NH 2 -MIL-88B(Fe) heterojunction inhibits the recombination of photoinduced electron–hole pairs and improved the visible light absorption.

Herein, a novel membrane with polyacrylic acid (PAA), NH 2 -MIL-88B(Fe) (NM88B), and graphene oxide (GO) was fabricated via a simple vacuum filter method equipped with the nylon membrane substrate. The composite membrane (PAA@NM88B/GO membrane) retained the laminated structure of GO, and PAA@NM88B was used as the photo-Fenton catalytic nano-filler to intercalate GO. Through a series of material characterization and membrane separation performance tests, the results showed that by introducing porous NM88B and PAA cross-linking modification, PAA@NM88B/GO membrane had excellent hydrophilicity, water flux and dye rejection performance. The flux of the PAA@NM88B/GO membrane was 68.21 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 , which is about 15 times higher than that of GO membrane. In addition, the composite membrane had a high rejection (over 97%) for methylene blue (MB), crystal violet (CV) and Congo red (CR). More importantly, PAA@NM88B/GO membrane can also be used to degrade textile wastewater in real life. The membrane can be used as a catalyst to degrade contaminants, and had a high removal of MB in 40 min (98.79%) under the synergistic effect of membrane adsorption and photocatalysis . Therefore, the results indicated that this new type of PAA@NM88B/GO membrane had potential applications in water purification and actual textile wastewater treatment .

Membrane fouling is one of the major blockages toward the further sustained development of membrane technology . In this work, PVDF/NH 2 -MIL-88B(Fe) (PVDF/NM88B) membranes were prepared for the first time via one-step simple non-solvent induced phase conversion method. The PVDF/NM88B membrane shows an excellent separation performance (above 99.4%) and permeation flux (340–1970 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 ) towards different oil/water emulsions. Moreover, PVDF/NM88B membrane exhibits excellent antifouling performance with flux recovery ratio of almost 100% attributing to hydrophilicity and high photo-Fenton activity of NM88B. In addition, the membrane with good mechanical properties and recyclability shows great application potential in wastewater treatment . This work may shine a new light on the promising photo-Fenton self-cleaning prospect of Fe-based MOFs in constructing antifouling membranes for wastewater remediation and potential applications.

The high activity and easy recyclability of catalysts are significant challenges in the photocatalytic treatment of wastewater. Combining photocatalytic technology with membrane separation technology to prepare self-cleaning catalytic composite membranes for treating wastewater containing organic pollutants can not only solve the problem of traditional catalyst recovery difficulties but also overcome membrane fouling. In this paper, NH 2 -MIL-88B was modified by introducing citric acid as a ligand construction defect, and NH 2 -MIL-88B-CA (NMB-CA) with better photocatalytic performance was obtained. Then, a thin film nanocomposite (TFN) film with better self-cleaning performance was prepared by covalently bonding the NMB-CA nanocatellite to the active polyamide layer through interfacial polymerization and amidination in Polysulfone (PSF) based membrane. The best-performing TFN-2 membrane has even better fouling resistance, removing 98.1% of tetracycline after 8 cycles, and the water flux of the membrane can still recover to 99% of the initial water flux, demonstrating excellent recyclability. TFN membrane prepared in this paper has unique self-cleaning and anti-pollution characteristics, which provides a new solution for efficient treatment of organic-contaminated water.

TiO 2 @NH 2 -MIL-88B(Fe) heterostructures (TMFe-x) were successfully synthesized and used in an efficient sunlight-driven reduction towards Cr(VI) in a neutral aqueous media. Further, the prepared TMFe-x heterostructures exhibited higher photocatalytic activity when compared with those exhibited by pure TiO 2 and NH 2 -MIL-88B(Fe) under simulated sunlight irradiation. The optical TiO 2 modification content was determined to be 10 wt.% (TMFe-b), with 98.6% Cr(VI) being converted to Cr(III) within 35 min using ammonium oxalate as the hole scavenger at pH = 7. In neutral conditions, the kinetic rate constant (0.0878 min −1 ) was five times larger than the published values. Additionally, the photocatalytic performance of TMFe-b was maintained and Fe leaching was observed to be negligible after the completion of four reaction cycles. The superior photocatalytic property can be attributed to the high photoelectron-hole separation and migration efficiency. Subsequently, TMFe-b achieved Cr(VI) reduction under neutral conditions by capturing hydrogen from the water molecules or the hole scavengers. The photoelectrons and superoxide radicals were the main active species. Furthermore, TMFe-b was able to efficiently eliminate various pollutants through photocatalytic oxidation and reduction. This study suggests a novel strategy for the preparation of environmentally stable and efficient MOF-based photocatalysts to efficiently eliminate various pollutants. Further, there is a huge potential for the practical application of this technology to water purification .

A g-C3N4/NH2-MIL-88B(Fe)/CD@GO membrane (M2) was prepared by a simple vacuum filtration method. By embedding a Z-scheme heterojunction composite photocatalyst into graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets, not only can the water molecule transport channel be regulated, but the membrane can also be endowed with photocatalytic activity and membrane fouling is effectively alleviated. The pure water permeation flux of M2 (253.26 L m−2 h−1 bar−1) was 13 times that of the original GO membrane (18.83 L m−2 h−1 bar−1). What's more, even after 10 cycles, M2 still maintains excellent separation efficiency and flux. After six cycles, the rejection of Congo Red (CR), Malachite Green (MG) and Rhodamine B (RhB) by M2 was over 95%. At the same time, under the conditions of an extreme pH value and high salt concentration, the rejection of dye remained at the original level after six cycles. Therefore, the novel photocatalytic membrane has excellent separation performance, stability and photocatalytic activity, and can be used as a potential membrane for wastewater purification and environmental protection.

While Fe-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can be used to remove antibiotics by adsorption, knowledge of how antibiotics are degraded by MOFs is still limited. In this study, one Fe-based MOF, NH 2 -MIL-88B was used to remove pefloxacin from aqueous solution via a combination of adsorption and Fenton-like oxidation. NH 2 -MIL-88B exhibited a high adsorption capacity for pefloxacin (41.37 mg·g −1 ), with >99% removal efficiency within 120 min based on Fenton-like oxidation. To better understand the mechanisms involved in integrated adsorption and Fenton-like oxidation, various advanced characterization techniques were used to monitor the changes in morphology and composition of NH 2- MIL-88B before and after removal of pefloxacin. Scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) all supported adsorption and Fenton oxidation of pefloxacin. In addition, the pefloxacin degradation products identified by LC-UV and LC-MS provided information on the potential adsorption-Fenton oxidation mechanism. These results suggested that NH 2 -MIL-88B has remarkably potential to be used in an integrated adsorption and Fenton-like process for the removal of antibiotics from aqueous solution.
