In this study, we synthesized metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) UiO-67-bpydc using H2bpydc as ligands and Zr6 clusters as vertexes. Due to the protonation of the bipyridine group, UiO-67-bpydc shows pH-dependent fluorescence (365 nm/530 nm) in the pH range from 1 to 9, which shows its feasibility as a wide-range pH sensor. Further study indicated that UiO-67-bpydc exhibits stability, reusability, selectivity and has an excellent linear relationship in the pH range 4.0–6.5, and the mechanism of the UiO-67-bpydc fluorescence intensity with the variation of pH has been studied in detail. This MOF-based fluorescent sensor has been applied to specifically detect the pH of solutions in the presence of the body fluid matrix. Compared with reported pH-MOF sensors, UiO-67-bpydc can be practically applied in real samples and is easily prepared with excellent stability in different buffer solutions.

In this work, a mesoporous Zr-based MOF (MP-UIO-66) was first synthesized by biomineralization method using dextran as template and the resultant particles were applied in the immobilization of cellulase . Compared with conventional UIO-66, MP-UIO-66 has more mesoporous channels (4.6 nm) that allow cellulase (3.4 * 12.4 nm) to be entrapped into the channels, improving loading capacity and stability of immobilized enzyme . Specifically, the results showed that MP-UIO-66 had an excellent loading capacity (265 mg g −1 ) for cellulase, and the residual enzyme activity of PVP-cellulase@MP-UIO-66 (PCMU) was still about 83% after 6 cycles. Moreover, the suitable pore structure exposes the active center of cellulase to the external environment, which facilitates the mass transfer of the substrate. Based on Michaelis-Menten constant analysis, the substrate affinity (13.355 mg mL −1 ) and catalytic efficiency (1.311 mL mg −1 min −1 ) of PCMU were better than those of free cellulase (14.525 mg mL −1 , 0.732 mL mg −1 min −1 ).

The development of novel biocatalysts is essential to promote the commercialization of biodiesel production by transesterification reaction. In this paper, Rhizopus oryzae lipase (ROL) was immobilized on an amino-functionalized zirconium-based metal organoskeleton by interfacial adsorption. The immobilization conditions were optimized and the enzymatic properties were tested, and the resulting novel biocatalysts exhibited higher stability and heat resistance. SEM, XRD and BET analyses were used to characterize the biocatalysts and carrier materials. The catalytic performance of ROL@UiO-66-NH 2 in the production of biodiesel by transesterification reaction was explored, and the production process was optimized by response surface method. The results showed that the conversion rate of FAEE reached 82.05% at molar ratio of ethanol/oil of 15.43:1, reaction temperature of 50.28°C, reaction time of 120.9 min, DES addition of 48.08 wt%, biocatalyst addition of 3 wt%, and ultrasonic power of 90 W. In addition, ROL@UiO-66-NH 2 demonstrated good recyclability, with the catalytic efficiency remaining at 71.87% after five cycles.

The recovery of gold from industrial effluents is crucial for environmental conservation, sustainable resource management, and promoting the green development of gold resources. We designed a Zr-based MOF (UKM-78) by incorporating functional organic ligands that resemble amino groups, using MOFs’ inherent sieving effect for ion separation. This novel material exhibited enhanced gold recovery under acidic conditions, with an adsorption capacity three times and an adsorption rate four times higher than those of nonfunctionalized UKM-77. Notably, UKM-78 efficiently captured gold solutions at concentrations as low as 1 ppm and achieved an adsorption rate exceeding 90%, owing to the electrostatic interactions and coordination between its functionalized groups and the synergistic effect of its porous structure. Despite multiple regeneration cycles, UKM-78 retains 99.4% of its adsorption capacity. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), kinetic studies, and thermodynamics collectively demonstrated that Au(III) binding on UKM-78 involved cooperative electrostatic interactions and chemical adsorption through coordination. This study highlights the potential of MOFs for efficient and sustainable recovery of gold from complex waste streams.

A novel ternary complex photocatalyst (UiO-66/ g -C 3 N 4 /Ag) was fabricated by chemical protonation coating and photodeposition and its physicochemical parameters, crystal morphology, and electrochemical properties characterized using a series of techniques. Proper addition of g -C 3 N 4 and Ag effectively enhanced the separation and mobility of photoinduced charge and improved the visible-light absorption and thereby the catalytic performance. Degradation experiments on target contaminants such as Rhodamine B (RhB) dye and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4- d ) showed that the photocatalytic ability of UiO-66/ g -C 3 N 4 /Ag(15) was greatly increased compared with the parent material. Moreover, the composite could be regenerated by a simple ethanol washing process and exhibited stability and high reusability over six cycles. Finally, experiments on trapping of active species revealed that superoxide radicals (·O
− 2
), holes (h + ), and hydroxyl radicals (·OH) were primarily responsible for the photodegradation of RhB and 2,4- d .

As a green conversion device, the electricity performance of microbial fuel cell (MFC) was mainly affected by the extracellular electron transfer (EET) process of the biofilm. This paper presented the fabrication and characterization of carbonized derivatives composed with alloy nanoparticles (NPs) derived from Zr-based metal organic frameworks, which exhibited biocompatibility and high electrocatalytic activity. As the results of bioanodes, the charge transfer resistance decreased from 5.60 Ω (Zr-C) to 0.61 Ω (Fe/Ni-Zr-C), and the exchange current density increased from 0.56 mA/cm 2 (Zr-C) to 1.40 mA/cm 2 (Fe/Ni-Zr-C). Electrochemical tests and density functional theory (DFT) confirmed that Fe-Ni alloy NPs promoted the rapid transfer of electrons within the electrode and improved the EET efficiency mediated with the flavin compounds. High throughput sequencing and PICRUSt verified the specific screening function of Fe-Ni alloy for electrogenic bacteria (mainly Geoalkalibacter) and the promoting effect on the expression of flavin-related proteins in biofilm. The maximum power density of Fe/Ni-Zr-C MFC (5.09 W/m 2 ) was higher than that of Ni-Zr-C (4.19 W/m 2 ), Fe-Zr-C (3.58 W/m 2 ) and Zr-C (3.09 W/m 2 ) MFCs. Fe/Ni-Zr-C material can act as an economical and high-performance bioelectrocatalyst to improve the power generation capability of MFC by improving EET rate and energy conversion efficiency of biofilm.
