All-inorganic cesium lead halide (CsPbX 3 , X = Cl, Br, I) perovskite nanocrystals have drawn great interest because of their excellent photophysical properties and potential applications. However, their poor stability in water greatly limited their use in applications that require stable structures. In this work, a facile approach to stabilize CsPbBr 3 nanowires is developed by using SU-8 as a protection medium; thereby creating stable CsPbBr 3 /SU-8 microstructures. Through photolithography and layer-by-layer deposition, CsPbBr 3 /SU-8 is used to fabricate bilayer achiral microswimmers (BAMs), which consist of a top CsPbBr 3 /SU-8 layer and a bottom Fe 3 O 4 magnetic layer. Compared to pure CsPbBr 3 nanowires, the CsPbBr 3 /SU-8 shows long-term structural and fluorescence stability in water against ultrasonication treatment. Due to the magnetic layer, the motion of the microswimmers can be controlled precisely under a rotating magnetic field, allowing them to swim at low Reynolds number and tumble or roll on surfaces. Furthermore, CsPbBr 3 /SU-8 can be used to fabricate various types of planar microstructures with high throughput, high consistency, and fluorescence properties. This work provides a method for the stabilization of CsPbBr 3 and demonstrates the potential to mass fabricate planar microstructures with various shapes, which can be used in different applications such as microrobotics.

ZIF-8/PVA microspheres with an even size were synthesized with the assistance of a simple microfluidic device. The ZIF-8/PVA microdroplets were first generated in a simple co-flow microfluidic device using a PVA aqueous solution dispersed with ZIF-8 nanoparticles as the dispersed phase and fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) as the continuous phase. Subsequently, the ZIF-8/PVA microdroplets were further extracted to form ZIF-8/PVA microspheres. The influence of the type of continuous phase on the sphericity of microspheres was investigated and the effect of ZIF-8 content was studied. Further studies showed that decreasing the extraction rate and using additives of NaCl in the dispersed phase could improve the sphericity of the ZIF-8/PVA microspheres. Finally, the synthesized ZIF-8/PVA microspheres were used to study the loading and release of tetracycline. The results showed that the loading of ZIF-8/PVA microspheres was more than 5 times higher than that of pure PVA microspheres. The drug release time of ZIF-8/PVA microspheres was much longer than that of the PVA microspheres and the release rate was significantly affected by the pH of the environment.

Introduction: The high rate of retear following rotator cuff repair is largely attributed to the absence of a fibrocartilage layer and limited bone regeneration capacity. We aim to evaluate a bioadhesive derived from decellularized porcine annulus fibrosus extracellular matrix, loaded with zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8), and to promote rotator cuff tendon–bone healing.Methods: Three adhesive formulations were developed: (1) silk fibroin/tannic acid (ST group), (2) ST combined with decellularized porcine annulus fibrosus extracellular matrix (ST/dECM group), and (3) ST/dECM supplemented with ZIF-8 (ST/dECM/ZIF-8 group). Optimal component ratios were determined using lap shear strength testing. The microstructure, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra, swelling behavior, and degradation properties of the materials were characterized. In vitro studies assessed the adhesives’ effects on cytotoxicity, proliferation, and the chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). A rat rotator cuff repair model was used to evaluate in vivo anti-inflammatory effects, fibrocartilage and bone regeneration, and biomechanical performance.Results: All adhesive formulations exhibited comparable tissue adhesion strength and biocompatibility. Both the ST/dECM and ST/dECM/ZIF-8 groups enhanced BMSC chondrogenic differentiation compared to the ST group, with the ST/dECM/ZIF-8 group showing superior osteogenic induction. In vivo, the ST/dECM/ZIF-8 hydrogel effectively reduced interfacial inflammation and promoted fibrocartilage and bone regeneration. Biomechanical testing demonstrated significantly higher ultimate load, tensile stress, and stiffness in all adhesive-treated groups compared to untreated controls.Conclusion: The ST/dECM/ZIF-8 bioadhesive hydrogel promotes fibrocartilage and bone regeneration. These findings highlight its potential as a promising biomaterial-based strategy to enhance tendon-to-bone interface healing following rotator cuff repair.

To address the growing global challenge of water scarcity, developing high-performance reverse osmosis (RO) membranes for desalination and water purification is essential. However, conventional polyamide (PA) thin-film composite (TFC) membranes are limited by the trade-off between permeability and selectivity, as well as limited rejection of small-molecular contaminants. In this study, we report a novel high-permeability thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) RO membrane by tuning the hydrophilicity of a zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) interlayer to achieve synergistic enhancement in both desalination and micropollutant removal. Specifically, a ZIF-8 interlayer was in situ grown on a hyperbranched PA-UIO-66-NH 2 support, followed by partial ligand exchange with 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole (Hdmbim) to reduce its hydrophilicity. This modification facilitated the diffusion of m-phenylenediamine (MPD) monomers, enabling the formation of a highly cross-linked PA selective layer (h-TFN) with angstrom-scale water transport channels. The optimized h-TFN membrane exhibited a water permeability of 5.40 L·m −2 ·h −1 ·bar −1 , 2.94 times that of the control TFC membrane, while maintaining high NaCl rejection (98.35 %). Moreover, it achieved 96.06 ± 0.18 % rejection for micropollutants such as heptyl paraben (HP). These results surpass the permeability–selectivity limitations of existing membranes and demonstrate a promising strategy for the design of advanced RO membranes capable of efficient desalination and micropollutant removal.

In this study, a novel Z-scheme ZnO-AgCl-Ag photocatalyst was prepared by converting the metal-organic framework ZIF-8 to ZnO via a simple pyrolysis method and using a physical wet mixing method. The crystal structure, microstructure, elemental distribution, and photoelectrochemical properties of the catalyst were systematically characterized using various analytical techniques. The characterization results showed that the introduction of AgCl/Ag into ZnO exhibited a higher light absorption capacity as well as a lower transmission resistance. Photocatalytic degradation experiments showed that the ZA-3 sample achieved a 99.97 % degradation rate of 10 mg/L RhB in 24 min, which was 2.3 higher than that of ZIF-8-derived ZnO. In addition, we systematically investigated the effects of initial RhB concentration, solution pH, anion interference, and catalyst recycling cycle on the photocatalytic activity, demonstrating the stability and applicability of the composites under different conditions. In addition, radical trapping experiments were conducted to probe the photocatalytic reaction mechanism, and a Z-scheme charge transfer pathway was confirmed, in which photogenerated electrons were effectively separated and transferred at the Z-scheme heterojunction interface through the conductive channel of Ag nanoparticles as carriers, which significantly improved the photocatalytic activity. In this study, the advantages of MOFS were rationally and effectively utilized to design and prepare Z-scheme photocatalysts with UV–visible response.

In surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) measurements, the creation of “hot spots” and the effective concentration of analytes in these areas are crucial for enhancing detection sensitivity. In this work, a novel composite with highly SERS activity, Ag nanospheres decorated Ag nanostar/ZIF-8 composite (Ag NS/ZIF-8/Ag) was achieved via first coating the Ag nanostars with the metal-organic framework ZIF-8, known for its strong molecular adsorption capabilities, followed by the electrostatic self-assembly of Ag nanospheres. The composites produce numerous hotspots due to the abundant plasmonic nanogaps, including the interstitial space between the Ag nanostar and Ag nanospheres, as well as internanogaps between neighboring Ag nanospheres, resulting in outstanding SERS performance. It was successfully applied for the quantitative and simultaneous detection of diquat and thiram in fruit juice, achieving detection limits of 5.0 × 10 −8 mol/L and 1 × 10 −8 mol/L, respectively, with recovery rates ranging from 86.6 % to 118.4 %. Notably, under UV light exposure, the composite was able to degrade pesticides efficiently within 80 min. Additionally, its reusability was demonstrated by sustaining strong SERS activity over five continuous detection cycles. These results emphasize the capability of Ag NS/ZIF-8/Ag composites for sensitive pesticide detection via SERS.

Rational design of high-performance electrode materials is crucial for enhancing desalination performance of capacitive deionization (CDI). Here, ultrathin nitrogen-doped carbon/Ti 3 C 2 T x -TiN (NC/MX-TiN) heterostructure was developed by pyrolyzing zeolite imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) nanoparticles sandwiched MXene (ZSM), which were formed by assembling ultrafine ZIF-8 nanoparticles with size of 20 nm on both sides of MXene nanosheets. The introduction of ultrasmall ZIF-8 particles allowed for in situ nitridation of the MXene during pyrolysis, forming consecutive TiN layers tightly connected to the internal MXene. The two-dimensional (2D) heterostructure exhibited remarkable properties, including high specific surface area and excellent conductivity. Additionally, the resulting TiN demonstrated exceptional redox capability, which significantly enhanced the performance of CDI and ensured cycling stability. Benefiting from these advantages, the NC/MX-TiN exhibited a maximum adsorption capacity of 45.6 mg g −1 and a steady cycling performance in oxygenated saline water over 50 cycles. This work explores the rational design and construction of MXene-based 2D heterostructure and broadens new horizons for the development of novel CDI electrode materials.

Ethylene glycol (C 2 H 6 O 2 ) is an organic compound widely used in industry and daily life. However, it is toxic to animals and humans and can cause serious health problems when ingested. It is important to explore new sensing materials to achieve effective detection of C 2 H 6 O 2 . In this work, pumpkin shaped aspergillus niger with submicron scale has been cultured, aspergillus niger-derived carbon (ANDC) was prepared by simple carbonization, and then novel ANDC/ZIF-8 composite was prepared using a solvothermal method. ANDC/ZIF-8 exhibits considerable selectivity for C 2 H 6 O 2 at room temperature, and the detection limit was 0.84 ppm and the response/recovery time was 13.9/10.6 s, respectively. Compared to ANDC, the gas sensitive performance of ANDC/ZIF-8 composite is greatly improved. This enhancement should be mainly attributed to the formation of heterogeneous junctions and hydrogen bonding interaction between ZIF-8 and C 2 H 6 O 2 . In this way, the mould with regular shapes produced by biomanufacturing was prepared into biochar, which in turn created a new type of gas sensing material and pioneered the introduction of biomanufacturing into the preparation process of gas sensing materials.

The application of biopolymers in adhesive design holds immense potential for advancing the sustainable manufacturing of high-performance materials. In this study, chitosan (CS), a renewable and biodegradable biopolymer, serves as the structural backbone for developing an innovative organic-inorganic hybrid resin Cu/ZIF-8@CS-MCS@BN. Initially, CS was chemically functionalized via crosslinking with maleic anhydride (MA) to form a maleated chitosan network (CS-MCS), exploiting the biopolymer's abundant amino and hydroxyl groups for covalent bonding. This chitosan-based network was subsequently reinforced with boron nitride nanosheets (BN) and copper-doped ZIF-8 metal-organic frameworks (Cu/ZIF-8), synergistically combining the flame-retardant and mechanical-enhancing properties of inorganic fillers with the organic network of the chitosan matrix. The Cu/ZIF-8@CS-MCS@BN resin was processed into two distinct wood composites: (1) plywood fabricated by hot-pressing poplar veneers with the resin exhibited exceptional interfacial adhesion, achieving a boiling-water-resistant shear strength of 1.01 MPa, which surpasses the requirements of the Chinese national standard GB/T 9846–2015; (2) lightweight aerogels prepared by freeze-drying resin-wood flour mixtures demonstrated outstanding compressive resistance (compressive modulus: 45.23 MPa) and fire safety (limiting oxygen index (LOI) = 42.8 %, UL-94 V-0 rating). This work establishes a green paradigm for fabricating multifunctional wood composites, highlighting the pivotal role of biopolymer engineering in next-generation construction materials.

Chitosan (CS) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) were crosslinked by glutaraldehyde and Zn2+ to fabricate polymer networks. Subsequently, CS/PVP sols were dropped into an alkaline solution resulting in deionization of hydrophilic groups and contraction of polymer networks to form CS/PVP beads with restricted networks. ZIF-8 crystals were incubated in the restricted networks to prepare ZIF-8@CS/PVP gel beads (CPZxB). The growth of ZIF-8 crystals in the restricted networks had more regular morphology. Meanwhile, the size of ZIF-8 crystals in beads were modulated by the molar ratio of 2-MeIM to Zn²⁺. Specifically, the size of ZIF-8 crystals was decreased with increasing the ratio of 2-MeIM to Zn2+. Additionally, the equilibrium adsorption capacity of beads for CO2 was 3.13 mmol/g oud initial pressure of 400kPa at 288.15K, and increased by 23% compared to ZIF-8 crystals. Adsorption mechanism was explored by kinetic model and Langmuir model, and the adsorption thermodynamic parameters were calculated using the Van't Hoff equation. The results indicated that adsorption of gel beads for CO2 primarily depended on chemisorption, and was a spontaneous exothermic process. As a result, it may be an effective strategy that growth of MOFs crystals in the confined networks could be form more regular morphology.

A magnetic double-layer metal-organic framework composite (Fe 3 O 4 @ZIF-8@ZIF-67) was successfully synthesized through a facile layer-by-layer self-assembly method at room temperature and thoroughly characterized using various techniques. The composite Fe 3 O 4 @ZIF-8@ZIF-67 was explored as an adsorbent for the removal of two harmful organic pollutants, Congo red (CR) and tetracycline hydrochloride (TC). Some essential parameters, including initial concentration, adsorbent dose, contact time, pH, and temperature, were systematically optimized. Under optimal conditions, Fe 3 O 4 @ZIF-8@ZIF-67 demonstrated the maximum adsorption capacities of 276.77 mg/g for CR and and 356.12 mg/g for TC, respectively. The double-layer structure endowed Fe 3 O 4 @ZIF-8@ZIF-67 high adsorption efficiency for CR (99.44%) than the pristine Fe 3 O 4 @ZIF-8 (73.26%). Adsorption kinetics and isotherms studies revealed that the adsorption process followed pseudo-second-order kinetics and Langmuir model, indicating a monolayer chemisorption-dominated mechanism. Furthermore, the spent Fe 3 O 4 @ZIF-8@ZIF-67 was regenerated through a Fenton-like oxidative degradation reaction, maintaining a removal efficiency above 70% after three consecutive cycles. With its facile synthesis, cost-effectiveness, mild operating conditions, and high selectivity for anionic dyes, Fe 3 O 4 @ZIF-8@ZIF-67 emerges as a highly promising material for advanced wastewater treatment applications.

ZIF-8-core/Au-shell (ZIF-8@Au) nanoparticles were fabricated through a two-step strategy involving thiol-modification of ZIF-8 substrates and subsequent Au shell growth via seed-mediated approach, and the ZIF-8@Au nanoparticles were applied to the screening of clostridium difficile infection (CDI). Through regulating dosage of thiol-modifier, we established a surface functionalization protocol that introduced tunable thiol groups onto ZIF-8 particles while preserving their pristine morphology and crystallinity. Subsequent refinement of Au coating parameters enabled the construction of ZIF-8@Au core–shell nanostructures via seed-mediated growth. The resulting ZIF-8@Au nanoparticles were successfully applied to detect biomarkers of CDI, including toxin A, toxin B, and glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH), with sensitivities of 7 pg/mL, 115 pg/mL, and 27 pg/mL, respectively. These results demonstrate the promising potential of this nanoparticle-based platform for lateral flow assays. Graphical
