Inter-connected zeolite imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) hybrid networks were successfully synthesized by a cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) mediated spontaneous weaving strategy, which was denoted as ZIF-67@CNC, and was applied to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for Rhodamine B (RhB) degradation. Characterizations results demonstrated that the ZIF-67 nanocrystals are encapsulated within CNCs and subsequently arranged in a string-like configuration. In comparison to pristine ZIF-67, the ZIF-67@CNC catalyst presented superior performances for RhB dye removal both in terms of degradation efficiency and rate, as the kinetic rate constant increased 5.8-fold. This finding was attributed to the improvement in oxygen-containing groups and meso /microporous structures after the introduction of CNCs, leading to efficient binding to compounds and rapid molecular diffusion. Moreover, the ZIF-67@CNC exhibited remarkable stability throughout the catalysis process in aqueous solutions owing to the robust crosslinking between negatively charged CNCs and positively charged cobalt ions , which significantly mitigated the potential secondary pollution of cobalt to the environment. This research opens up new possibilities for the design of highly efficient and durable ZIF-67-based catalysts to promote future wastewater treatment technology.

Through the utilization of diverse technological processes, lignin could be transformed into a multitude of valuable chemicals and fuels. This transformation not only reduces our dependence on fossil energy but also fosters the promotion of environmental sustainability. In this study, Ce metal was incorporated into the zeolite imidazolium framework-67 (ZIF-67) using the impregnation method to prepare a series of bimetallic catalysts . Using isopropanol solvent as the hydrogen source, guaiacol was effectively converted to cyclohexanol with over 80.0% selectivity over the optimum catalyst at 240 °C, 1.5 MPa N 2 , for 4 hours. The prepared catalysts were subjected to characterization methods such as BET, SEM, XPS , TEM , XRD , H 2 -TPR and NH 3 -TPD. The results of the characterization show that the addition of Ce changed the zeolitic imidazolium ester backbone structure of ZIF-67 and encouraged the emergence of more oxygen vacancies , which strengthened the catalyst hydrodeoxygenation activity and reducibility . Based on the findings of the catalytic performance tests and a retesting, the reaction pathway of the guaiacol hydrodeoxygenation process was suggested.

Construction of ultra-thin and defect-free separation membrane on inner surface of hollow fiber supports is significant but challenging for molecular separation. In this study, the highly permeable PDMS@ZIF-8/PVDF composite membranes were successfully fabricated upon the inner-surface of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) hollow fiber membrane for pervaporation (PV) ethanol/water separation. The efficient preparation of hierarchical PDMS@ZIF-8/PVDF composite membranes benefited from the precise regulation of ZIF-8 layer through interfacial synthesis and sequential coating of PDMS matrix. The thickness of the PDMS layer was only 16 ± 2 nm, which admirably eliminated the non-selective defects in ZIF-8 layer. Owning to the optimal combination of MOF layer and ultra-thin polymer layer, the as-prepared membrane exhibited the excellent ethanol flux of 1.34 kg m −2 h −1 with an ethanol concentration in permeate of 31.3 wt% for separating 5 wt% ethanol aqueous solution at 40 °C. The separation performance of the resultant membrane was superior to that of the other ethanol selective PV membranes . These findings herein provided a new way for preparing high-performance hollow fiber composite membranes for PV separation.

Large amount of lignin was produced annually as a byproduct in papermaking and pulping processes, the challenges in disposal methods had posed serious obstacles for advanced carbon materials and value-added chemicals. This study involved the preparation of kraft lignin (KL) loaded metal–organic framework (ZIF-67) material derived Co nanoparticles carbon using various methods to produce kraft lignin biochar-based carbon materials (Co@NPC-KLB). The novel and advanced carbon materials was utilized for lignin derived bio-oil hydrodeoxygenation to generate high value fuels and chemicals. It could achieve nearly 100 % vanillin (VAN) conversion and 88.49 % 2-methoxy-4-methylphenol (MMP) without the extra hydrogen at 240 °C in ethanol. The results demonstrated that highly active and stable Co nanoparticles, large specific surface area, smaller nano Co nanoparticles, strong metal-support interaction and rich Lewis acid sites on the surface of biochar support exhibited a positive promoting effect on VAN hydrodeoxygenation to generate MMP. Furthermore, density functional theory (DFT) also confirmed that synergistic effect of Co nanoparticles and kraft lignin biochar promoted a high adsorption energy of VAN on the surface of kraft lignin biochar, enhanced the catalytic ability of the hydrodeoxygenation process. This study provided a novel approach for utilizing kraft lignin in preparation functional catalysts, opening up new opportunities for designing efficient biochar-based materials for advanced carbon materials and high-value chemicals.

Benefiting from specific target recognition and trans-cleavage capabilities, the CRISPR/Cas12a system has great application prospects in the design of highly sensitive and rapid fluorescence biosensors. The CRISPR/Cas12a-based fluorophore-quencher molecular beacons exhibit single-color emission and are easily exposed to interference from environmental factors. Herein, we design a CRISPR/Cas12a-derived ratiometric fluorescence sensor for Pb 2+ detection based on embedded carbon dots@zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (CDs@ZIF-8) composites and DNAzyme. The functions of ZIF-8 about encapsulating red emissive CDs in the inner cavity and adsorbing DNA on the outer surface are integrated to establish dual fluorescence signals, thereby reducing the possibility of interference and improving sensing accuracy. The presence of Pb 2+ is converted into the change of activator by the GR5 DNAzyme to activate the CRISPR/Cas12a system, which provides signal amplification through multiple turnovers of side branch cutting, achieving highly sensitive detection of Pb 2+ with a low detection limit of 18 pM. This method has the advantages of simplicity, universality, and excellent quantitative ability, and has broad prospects in sensing applications.

Co-immobilization of laccase and mediator 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) for wastewater treatment could simultaneously achieve the reusability of laccase and avoid secondary pollution caused by the toxic ABTS. Herein, Fe-induced mineralization was proposed to co-immobilize laccase and ABTS into a metal–organic framework (ZIF-8) within 30 min. Immobilized laccase (Lac@ZIF-8-Fe) prepared at a 1:1 mass ratio of Fe2+to Zn2+exhibited enhanced catalytic efficiency (2.6 times), thermal stability, acid tolerance, and reusability compared to free laccase. ABTS was then co-immobilized to form Lac+ABTS@ZIF-8-Fe (ABTS = 261.7 mg/g). Lac@ZIF-8-Fe exhibited significantly enhanced bisphenol A (BPA) removal performance over free laccase due to the local substrate enrichment effect and improved enzyme stability. Moreover, the Lac+ABTS@ZIF-8-Fe exhibited higher BPA removal efficiency than the free laccase+ABTS system, implying the presence of a proximity effect in Lac+ABTS@ZIF-8-Fe. In the successive malachite green (MG) removal, the MG degradation efficiency by Lac@ZIF-8-Fe was maintained at 96.6% at the fifth reuse with only an extra addition of 0.09 mM ABTS in each cycle. As for Lac+ABTS@ZIF-8-Fe, 58.5% of MG was degraded at the fifth cycle without an extra addition of ABTS. Taken together, this research has provided a novel strategy for the design of a co-immobilized laccase and ABTS system for the degradation of organic pollutants.Keywords:laccase;mediator;co-immobilization;MOFs;organic pollutants;biodegradation

This study reports the development of an electrostatic self-assembly surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate based on zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) decorated with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). A seed-mediated growth method was employed to synthesize AgNPs with an average diameter of 30 nm, and a mild synthesis process was used to prepare ZIF-8 nanoparticles with an average diameter of 350 nm. The ZIF-8/Ag nanocomposites have been optimized and characterized using a variety of techniques. As a probe molecule, 4-aminothiophenol was used to evaluate the SERS performance of the ZIF-8/Ag nanocomposites, demonstrating low limit of detection to 8.32 × 10 −8 M, respectively. ZIF-8/Ag nanocomposites also demonstrated good signal reproducibility with a relative standard deviation of 12.5 % for 10 −6 M 4-aminothiophenol. Furthermore, the ZIF-8/Ag nanocomposites have successfully been used to detect 4-mercaptopyridine and the pesticide thiram in laboratory tap water with recoveries ranging from 87 % to 113 %. The ZIF-8/Ag nanocomposites were further investigated for their potential use as SERS substrates for the detection of thiram residues on the surface of apples. A finite difference time-domain simulation was also conducted to investigate the SERS enhancement mechanism of the ZIF-8/Ag nanocomposites.

Bacterial infections seriously retard skin wound healing. To enhance the antibacterial efficiency and subsequent skin regeneration, a core–shell structured therapeutic platform, named FZAM, was designed with multiple antimicrobial pathways. FZAM consists of nanosized Fe3O4 as the core and ZIF-8 loaded with Au nanoparticles (NPs) and maltodextrin as the shell. Fe3O4 and Au NPs form a heterojunction that generates hyperthermia and abundant reactive oxide species (ROS) under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation. This heterojunction also exhibits outstanding peroxidase-like activity. When bacteria invade, maltodextrin plays a targeting effect to increase the interaction between FZAM and bacteria, and with the synergistic action of NIR-induced hyperthermia and ROS as well as Zn2+ from ZIF-8, FZAM kills more than 99% of bacteria at 200 μg mL–1. Fortunately, FZAM is cytocompatible and even promotes the biofunctions of fibroblasts and endothelial cells. In infected skin wound models, FZAM sterilizes bacteria with NIR irradiation and subsequently reduces the inflammatory response and accelerates skin regeneration. This work provides a core–shell structured therapy platform for treating infection with the assistance of NIR irradiation and helping skin wound healing.

Bioaerosol infections containing pathogenic viruses and bacteria have resulted in significant economic losses and posed a serious threat to public health, as evidenced by outbreaks of coronavirus disease and avian influenza. Consequently, the sampling and screening of bioaerosols are crucial for the prevention of bioaerosol-borne diseases. In this study, an ultrasensitive biosensor based on zeolitic imidazolate framework-8-melamine foam (ZIF-8-MF) was innovatively developed for the specific capture and in situ detection of bioaerosols. The bacterial bioaerosols were collected by a wet cyclone into phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) buffer at a high collection rate, achieving a satisfactory collection efficiency of ∼80% within 10 min. The target bacteria collected in the PBS buffer were specifically captured and effectively concentrated using immune ZIF-8-MF. The gold@platinum nanozymes (GPNs) were employed to specifically label the captured target bacteria and efficiently amplify the biological signal. And the resulting colorimetric signal was analyzed via a self-developed smartphone application (App). This biosensor demonstrated the capability to detect bioaerosols containing Salmonella typhimurium in the range of 1.6 × 102–1.6 × 105 CFU/m3 within 1.5 h, with a detection limit as low as 100 CFU/m3. Compared with other bioaerosol detection methods, the biosensor offered advantages such as high collection rate, specific capture, efficient concentration, and in situ detection, positioning it as a highly promising and practical tool for the monitoring of bioaerosols containing diverse pathogenic bacteria.

Self-healing polyurethane (SPU) has important applications in areas such as protective coatings, medical devices and solid lubrication . However, improving the lubricating properties of self-healing polyurethanes to reduce their friction and wear is still an important challenge. Herein, an amphoteric SPU is prepared and used as the solid lubrication matrix. NH 2 -Ti 3 C 2 -ZIF-8 is grown on NH 2 -Ti 3 C 2 in situ to obtain NH 2 -Ti 3 C 2 -ZIF-8 as lubrication additive. The lubrication performance of NH 2 -Ti 3 C 2 -ZIF-8/SPU composites is the best when the NH 2 -Ti 3 C 2 -ZIF-8 content is 1.00 wt%. The coefficient of friction (COF) is only 0.10, and the wear rate is only 1.315×10 −4 mm 3 /(N·m), which are reduced by 80.4 % and 99.4 % respectively compared with single SPU. By exploring the lubrication mechanism, it is found that NH 2 -Ti 3 C 2 -ZIF-8 participated in producing transfer film during friction, and the excellent lubricity and anti-wear effect of NH 2 -Ti 3 C 2 and the unique adsorption and rolling effect of ZIF-8 jointly improved the friction performance of the samples. In addition, the composite material can realize rapid healing within 5 min at 75 %RH, 20℃, the self-healing efficiency can reach 84.7 %. Therefore, the SPU containing NH 2 -Ti 3 C 2 -ZIF-8 has potential applications in the field of solid lubricated materials.

In situ growth of nano-arrays on substrate materials is a neoteric and efficacious catalyst design strategy, but it is still a difficulty to prepare unique nano-structured electrocatalysts with excellent activity for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). In this study, phosphidizating ternary nickel/iron/cobalt hybrid nano-arrays (NiFeCo-P) with vertically staggered growth were successfully synthesized on the surface of nickel foam (NF) through three steps: impregnation, hydrothermal reaction and phosphidizating calcination. The initial ZIF-67/NF and the derived NiFeCo-layered double hydroxide (LDH)/NF nano-array (NiFeCo-LDH/NF) template promote the charge transfer and ion diffusion between electrolyte surfaces, which is attributed to the enhancement of the interface contact area of electrolyte ions. Phosphidizated NiFeCo-LDH/NF nano-arrays (NiFeCo-P/NF) showed lower overpotential of 251 and 278 mV at 50 mA cm−2 and 100 mA cm−2, respectively. The Tafel slope was 25.24 mV dec−1, which was better than the performance of some transition metal-based OER catalysts reported before. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy further revealed the good kinetics in the electrolysis process. Furthermore, the high structural stability of the nanosheet array promotes the generation of the active phase in the OER process, so it has good stability after continuous operation for 20 h at a current density of 50 mA cm−2.

Nowadays, sulfur compounds (e.g., thiophene) in liquid fuels are increasingly recognized as a major source of air pollution, making fuel purification a top priority. A new composite composed of metal-organic framework (ZIF-67) and ZnFe(4:1)-layer double hydroxide (ZnFe LDH) materials was synthesized at room temperature with varying weight ratios of ZIF-67 (20, 40, and 60 wt %) for the removal of thiophene from a model fuel ( n -heptane). The characterization techniques (XRD, SEM, TEM, FTIR, and BET) confirmed the successful synthesis of the composite materials. The adsorptive desulfurization performance of the ZIF-67@ZnFe LDH composites was compared with ZIF-67 and ZnFe-LDH via adsorption batch processes. The experimental adsorption data were tested using isotherm and kinetic models to know the adsorption process. The composite material (40 % ZIF-67@LDH) appeared a significantly greater adsorption capacity (395.4 mg/g), exceeding that of the two parent materials (ZnFe-LDH and ZIF-67) by (2.5 and 1.6 times), respectively. Monte Carlo simulation was employed to identify the most favorable adsorption sites for thiophene on ZIF-67 and Zn–Fe LDH. Our results suggest that the combination of ZIF-67 and ZnFe LDH in the composite material has a synergistic effect, leading to a remarkable enhancement in adsorption performance. The ZIF-67, with its large pore volume and high surface area, provides a high capacity for thiophene adsorption. While the LDH offers abundant and more favorable interaction sites with higher adsorption energy for thiophene. The 40 % ZIF-67@LDH composite exhibited promising reusability, maintaining its effectiveness for at least four consecutive adsorption-desorption cycles. This suggests its potential as a low cost, efficient and sustainable solution for thiophene removal.
