Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are capable in capture and storage of iodine ions with high efficiency, and polymer/MOF nanocomposite membrane has the potential to be used for efficient removal of iodine from radioactive wastewater. In this work, we have reported a PVDF/ZIF-8 nanocomposite adsorption membrane prepared by contra-diffusion method. The combination of surface graft of poly(4-vinylpyridien) brushes and optimal addition of sodium formate into ligand contributes to the formation of a well-intergrown and continuous ZIF-8 layer on the metal ions side surface of PVDF- g -P4VP membrane. In the batch adsorption, the PVDF/ZIF-8 nanocomposite membrane exhibits high affinity for iodine following a pseudo-second-order kinetics and fitting the Freundlich isotherm model with a maximum adsorption capacity of 73.33 mg/g. In the dynamic adsorption, the PVDF/ZIF-8 nanocomposite membrane exhibits a high flux of 66.19 L/(m 2 ⋅h⋅MPa) and an iodine removal efficiency of 73% until 180 min. Initial iodine concentration has a little influence on the iodine removal efficiency, but solution pH shows a significant effect. The iodine removal efficiency can be maintained around 92% in a weakly alkaline medium of pH = 8. The PVDF/ZIF-8 nanocomposite membrane possesses an excellent reusability with an iodine removal efficiency of 73.4% after five cycles.

The flexibility, wide response range, and ultra-high sensitivity of flexible sensors make them suitable forwearable technology, automated manufacturing, and robotics. The development of raw materials for flexible sensors and the design of their source layer structures can address a range of issues. In this article, we aim to develop flexible sensors for wearable technology by preparing MXene/PVDF@ZIF-8 multilayer nanofiber membranes through electrospinning technology. By incorporating ZIF-8 particles into PVDF fibers through in situ electrospinning technology, flexible sensors with a rough structure were obtained. We similarly employed vacuum filtration technology to introduce MXene nanosheets into PVDF@ZIF-8 nanofibers, further constructing a conductive network with a multidimensional structure in the vertical direction of the film. The performance of the prepared MXene/PVDF@ZIF-8 composite fiber membrane pressure sensor was tested, revealing its wide working range (0–125 kPa), high sensitivity (25.8–77.9 kPa -1 ), load/unload Time (20 ms/30 ms), and strong mechanical stability. Various human movements and lying postures were simulated, confirming that the sensor can effectively provide feedback on external pressure applied to the skin. This also demonstrates the broad application prospects of the flexible sensor in the field of flexible wearables.

Graphical ZIF-8 was synthesized through an in-situ growth method within a PVDF membrane matrix. The PVDF/ZIF-8 composite membrane was subsequently prepared via the phase inversion method using immersion precipitation. The ZIF-8 particles were uniformly distributed in the PVDF/ZIF-8 composite membrane. The widespread use of organic dyes in industrial processes has led to increasing environmental pollution due to the discharge of dye-contaminated wastewater, necessitating more efficient dye removal methods. In this study, a poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)/ZIF-8 composite membrane was fabricated via a phase inversion method using immersion precipitation, with ZIF-8 synthesized via in-situ growth within the membrane matrix. The composite membranes were thoroughly characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The ZIF-8 particles were uniformly distributed in the PVDF/ZIF-8 composite membrane. The adsorption performance of the PVDF/ZIF-8 composite membrane was evaluated for methyl green (MG) removal. At 313 K with an adsorbent dose of 10 mg, the membrane exhibited an adsorption capacity of 172.30 mg g⁻¹ and a removal ratio of 87.21%, demonstrating that the incorporation of ZIF-8 significantly enhanced adsorption performance. Adsorption isotherm studies revealed that the process followed the Freundlich model, while kinetic analysis indicated a pseudo-second-order mechanism. Additionally, thermodynamic investigations suggested that the adsorption was endothermic and spontaneous. The major driving force for adsorption was identified as electrostatic interactions between the dye and the membrane. These findings highlight the potential of PVDF/ZIF-8 composite membranes for effective dye removal from wastewater.

Graphical A defect-free PVDF/ZIF-8-LS membrane prepared by loading a continuous ZIF-8-LS film layer on the PVDF membrane exhibited high and stable adsorption performance for CR and TC removal, because of a good compatibility between PVDF membrane and ZIF-8-LS layer. Lignosulfonate (LS) enhances ZIF-8 dispersion and active sites but faces challenges in recovery and secondary pollution due to its powdered form. To address this, a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)/ZIF-8-LS composite membrane was fabricated via vapor deposition, where LS promoted dense ZIF-8 growth and interfacial compatibility with PVDF. The resulting PVDF/ZIF-8-LS membrane shows a higher continuous, uniform and dense ZIF-8-LS layer without macroscopic cracks or obvious defects. In addition, the PVDF/ZIF-8-LS exhibits the best adsorption capacity of 110.6 mg g −1 for Congo Red, about 8.8 mg g −1 higher than the PVDF/ZIF-8, and 110.2 mg g −1 for tetracycline, respectively. With 92% capacity retention after three cycles and stability across pH 2–10. The more active adsorption sites facilitates the contact between the ZIF-8-LS layer and the adsorbed substance, in addition to the electrostatic, H-bonding, π-π interactions, and coordination bond are also conductive to the adsorption of PVDF/ZIF-8-LS. The excellent adsorption performance and good recyclability of the PVDF/ZIF-8-LS composite membranes exhibit a potential for adsorbing other contaminants from water.
