A UiO-66-type metal–organic framework (MOF) fabricated with titanium was successfully prepared via a facial modified post-grafting method. The as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), ultraviolet-visible adsorption spectroscopy (UV-vis), and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL) techniques. The introduction of titanium enhanced the optical properties of UiO-66 via the formation of oxo-bridged hetero-Zr–Ti clusters, but led to a sacrifice in crystallinity. The removal of methylene blue (MB) over these samples could be attributed to the dual function of the adsorption and photo-degradation mechanisms. The highest MB removal efficiency of 87.1% was achieved over UiO-66(1.25Ti) under simulated sun-light irradiation.

In a detailed study, the influence of microwave irradiation, synthesis time and temperature, addition of acetic acid (HAc) as a modulator on the morphology, crystallinity and stability of UiO-66-NH 2 is investigated to develop a reliable and reproducible strategy for the preparation of well-shaped UiO-66-NH 2 . The UiO-66-NH 2 were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and gas adsorption. It is found that well-shaped UiO-66-NH 2 with a high CO 2 adsorption capacity can be synthesized in a short time by microwave heating. The UiO-66-NH 2 crystals synthesized by microwave heating are of high quality and show a superior CO 2 adsorption capacity (5.8 mmol/g at 273k and 1 bar) due to the strong interactions between the −NH 2 group and CO 2 . The CO 2 /N 2 selectivity of the obtained UiO-66-NH 2 at 298 K and 1 bar is 66, which is much higher than that of the pristine UiO-66 of 17.8.

Photocatalytic NO removal technology is considered as one of the most effective green methods for reducing atmospheric NO but there remains the problems of lower efficiency and poor stability of photocatalysts . Rapid recombination of photogenerated electron (e − ) and holes (h + ) is known as a key issue that causes low activity and poor stability of catalysts. Herein, we report a novel AgCu@UiO-66-NH 2 photocatalyst (AgCu@UN) that is made up of AgCu alloy on the surface of Zr-MOF (UiO-66-NH 2 ) by employing in-situ photodeposition method. The experimental results of photocatalytic NO removal indicated that the optimized 0.5Ag0.5Cu@UN sample with 0.5 mg of Ag and Cu exhibited the best NO removal efficiency of 63 % for ppb-level atmospheric NO, more higher than that of pure UiO-66-NH 2 (38 %). The characterizations suggested that the excellent photocatalytic performance of 0.5Ag0.5Cu@UN can be ascribed to the efficient charge separation and transfer and the visible-light-harvesting ability due to benefiting electron migration process between AgCu alloys and UN. Moreover, the enriched electrons around AgCu could be transferred to O 2 to generate more superoxide radicals (•O 2 − ), which could oxidize NO to the final product, nitrate (NO 3 − ). The present findings can provide some novel insights for the design of efficient MOF based photocatalysts to eliminate low concentrations of NO X .

In this study, POM@UiO-66 nanoparticles were fabricated by encapsulation of POM (K 6 P 2 W 18 O 62 polyoxometalate) into mesoporous UiO-66 metal organic framework through a solvothermal method with trichloroacetic acid as a modulator to promote the defects formation of UiO-66. The as-prepared samples were characterized by TEM , SEM, PXRD , TG, XPS , and EDX elemental mapping, and the successful combination of POM and UiO-66 was confirmed. Two cationic dyes, rhodamine B and malachite green , and one anionic dye orange G were employed to investigate the adsorption performance of POM@UiO-66. The adsorption data showed that the removal process of cationic dyes by POM@UiO-66 matched well with the pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir isothermal model. The resulting POM@UiO-66 nanoparticles exhibited high adsorption to cationic dyes but low adsorption to anionic dyes, and the adsorption capacities of rhodamine B, malachite green, and anionic dye orange G were 222.6, 190.6 and 40 mg g −1 , respectively. Furthermore, the cationic dyes could be selectively removed from a cationic-anionic dye binary system. These results suggested that the novel polyoxometalate-based UiO-66 material is a promising candidate for the adsorption of cationic dyes from effluent.

The flame-retardancy of polymeric materials has garnered great interest. Most of the flame retardants used in copolymers are functionalized additives, which can deteriorate the intrinsic properties of these materials. As a new type of flame retardant, functionalized metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) can be used in surface coatings of polymers. To reduce the flammability, a mixture of phytic acid, multi-wall carbon nanotubes, zirconium-based MOFs, and UiO-66 was coated on a PC/ABS substrate. The structure of the UiO-66-based flame retardant was established by FT-IR, XRD, XPS, and SEM. The flammable properties of coated PC/ABS materials were assessed by LOI, a vertical combustion test, TGA, CCT, and Raman spectroscopy. The presence of a UiO-66-based coating on the PC/ABS surface resulted in a good flame-retardant performance. Heat release and smoke generation were significantly reduced. Importantly, the structure and mechanical properties of PC/ABS were less impacted by the presence of the flame-retardant coating. Hence, this work presents a new strategy for the development of high-performance PC/ABC materials with both excellent flame-retardancy and good mechanical properties.

Nanocellular polymer foams are highly valuble for their lightweight nature, high strength, and unique nanostructures, which offer significant potential across a variety of applications. However, their production and practical use are limited by low cell nucleation efficiency and the requirement for extremely high-pressure foaming processes. In this study, we successfully fabricated poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nanocellular foams with a cell density on the order of 1012 cells cm–3 at a relatively low foaming pressure of 6.0 MPa. This achievement was made possible through the use of defective UiO-66 nanoparticles as nucleation enhancers, which demonstrated a high nucleation efficiency of 1.11. We synthesized four types of defective UiO-66 nanoparticles, each with varying levels of defects, and confirmed their efficacy as nucleators for PMMA nanofoams. The successful synthesis of these defective UiO-66 nanoparticles was verified using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, X-ray Diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy. The cell size and density of the PMMA nanocellular foams were characterized via SEM analysis. Our findings showed that the incorporation of defective UiO-66 nanoparticles markedly reduced the cell size of the PMMA foam, achieving a higher cell density. This improvement is attributed to a decrease in the free energy required for cell nucleation within nanocavities located at the matrix–nucleator interface. Consequently, the careful design of high-performance nucleating particles and the judicious choice of foam matrix components emerge as critical strategies in developing polymer cellular materials with nanoscale cell dimensions. These insights significantly advance the fabrication of polymer foams with enhanced thermal insulation properties and have broad implications for the field of cellular materials science. By optimizing nucleation mechanisms and material combinations, this work opens new avenues for the development of advanced cellular polymers tailored for applications requiring superior insulation or lightweight yet robust structures.

Photocatalysis is an alternative for antibiotics removal from wastewater for the sustainable development of human society. However, applying photocatalysts for antibiotics (e.g., tetracycline) degradation under practical conditions is highly restricted by the low reaction efficiency due to the prompt charge recombination. Constructing porous heterojunctions is an efficient way to regulate the electron transfer path and accelerate charge migration efficiency. Herein, TiO 2 /defective UiO-66 porous octahedral S-scheme heterojunctions are successfully fabricated through an in-situ growth strategy. The strong interaction and charge migration behavior between TiO 2 and defective UiO-66 have been studied using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electron paramagnetic resonance measurements. The photocatalytic removal efficiency of tetracycline is notably improved by forming TiO 2 /defective UiO-66 porous heterojunctions. The promoted photocatalytic performance can be ascribed to the strong interaction between TiO 2 and defective UiO-66, and the accelerated charge separation and transfer efficiency due to the formation of S-scheme heterojunctions, thus generating abundant reactive oxygen species, including O 2 − and OH. The optimized 38-TiO 2 /UiO-66-300 can eliminate 97.9 % of tetracycline in 60 min with a reaction constant rate of 0.0425 min −1 , which is approximately 4 and 10 times that of pristine TiO 2 and UiO-66-300, respectively. This work provides an alternate strategy for preparing highly active heterojunction photocatalysts for environmental applications.

A series of Al 3+ -doped UiO-66(Ce) MOFs (U(Ce x Al 1−x )) was developed to reveal the roles of metal doping on active site formation and substrate activation in photocatalytic selective transformation of amines to imines. Al 3+ doping induced crystal structure distortion to form coordinately unsaturated metal (Al, Ce) sites as Lewis acid sites to chemisorb and activate benzylamine (BA). In situ FTIR revealed that the Al site with stronger acid strength facilitated BA activation. The activation degree of N–H bonds in BA was evaluated by changes of calculated force constant. The intermediate products were confirmed through time-dependent in situ FTIR. The Al 3+ -doped sample U(Ce 0.90 Al 0.10 ), the optimal catalyst, showed a significantly increased BA conversion (97.6 %) than that (47.5 %) of undoped sample, which was attributed to enough active sites and the optimal charge mobility. Finally, the present study proposes a synergistic photocatalytic mechanism associated with molecular activation to demonstrate selective oxidation pathways at the molecular level.

Separation membranes with high solvent permeation and rejection are attractive for energy conservation in waste solvents separation. Herein, ultra-high flux dye separation membrane was firstly obtained by in situ growing continuous thin MOF membranes on commercial non woven fabrics, which overcome the “trade-off” effect of traditional separation membranes. The continuity of MOF membrane is closely related to the grafting density of maleic anhydride (MAH), and the thickness and surface morphology of continuous thin UiO-66-NH 2 membrane (CTUM) can be controlled by tuning reaction time. The CTUM exhibits a molecule weight cut-off of 950 Da and organic solvents permeation of > 2200 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 with the rose bengal (RB) rejection of 99.39 %. The selectivity of CTUM depends on the size screening and electrorepulsion effect, and the permeation of CTUM is at least 10 times higher than conventional separation membranes. Meanwhile, the CTUM is durable under mechanical friction and during filtration. Our work represent a reliable way to make durable MOF membranes for ultra-high permeation organic solvent filtration, which lay a foundation for further exploration of high performance separating membranes.

Following peripheral nerve injury, a large number of macrophages will be recruited to the nerve defect site to regulate the immune microenvironment and then initiate a series of inflammatory reactions, which is not conducive to nerve repair. Electrical stimulation can not only affect the polarity of macrophages by regulating the immune microenvironment but also promote nerve regeneration by modulating voltage-gated ion channels. However, traditional electrical stimulation relies on power sources, wires, and implanted electrodes, which may pose risks of infection and secondary surgery. Here piezoelectric materials Ti3C2Tx/UiO-66 are synthesized by a hydrothermal method and then blended into PLLA to prepare a self-power nerve scaffold using laser additive manufacturing technology. Under ultrasound stimulation, UiO-66 nanoparticles can generate localized piezoelectric potential, while Ti3C2Tx nanosheets accelerate the charge transfer. The results indicate that a nerve scaffold promotes the current generation, with a current of up to 0.036 μA. The results indicate that electrical stimulation can promote the transformation of macrophages into the M2 antiinflammatory phenotype by inhibiting the Ca2+-CaMKII-NF-κB signaling pathway. Furthermore, the scaffold can upregulate the expression of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell neural markers Tuj and Map under ultrasound treatment. This work provides insights into wireless electrical stimulation regulating the immune microenvironment to promote nerve repair.

In this study, UiO-66/Cotton composite adsorbents with varied UiO-66 loadings were fabricated via a coupling strategy and applied for the adsorption of quinolone antibiotics (QNs)—including norfloxacin (NOR), ciprofloxacin (CIP), pefloxacin (PEF), and moxifloxacin (MFX)—from aqueous media. Under optimal conditions ( T = 298 K, pH=8.0, dosage=1 g/L, contact time=2 h, C 0 =100 mg/L), the maximum adsorption capacities followed the order: PEF (106.29 mg/g) > MFX (85.30 mg/g) > NOR (83.64 mg/g) > CIP (75.53 mg/g). Adsorption was enhanced by increased UiO-66 loading, though utilization efficiency decreased. Optimal performance was observed under pH 6.0–10.0 and in the presence of divalent cations. The process followed pseudo-second-order and Freundlich models, involving coordination, hydrogen bonding, electrostatic attraction, and π–π interactions. The UiO-66/Cotton composite (18.63 % loading) exhibited excellent reusability, maintaining 81.25 % removal efficiency for PEF after five cycles. Moreover, its solid–liquid separation and washing efficiency improved by approximately 40.1-fold and 44.3-fold, respectively, compared to pristine UiO-66. This work highlights the potential of MOF-based composite materials for effective QNs removal in water treatment applications.

Sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) emissions present significant environmental and health risks, yet efficiently capturing SO 2 remains challenging due to its corrosive nature and the limited performance of conventional adsorbents. In this study, we developed multivariate metal-organic frameworks (MTV-MOFs) based on UiO-66(Zr) for effective SO 2 capture. Through systematic ligand functionalization with -OH, -NH 2 , -SO 3 H, and -(NH 2 ) 2 groups on terephthalic acid linker, we developed a series of MTV-UiO-66 materials with tailored pore environments and adsorption characteristics. UiO-66-NH 2 exhibited superior performance with an SO 2 uptake of 252.9 mL g −1 at 298 K and 1 bar. Ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST) calculations demonstrated improved selectivity for SO 2 over N 2 (847) and CO 2 (31), surpassing that of the parent UiO-66. Dynamic breakthrough experiments further confirmed the practical viability of MTV-UiO-66 materials for SO 2 capture under both dry and humid (50 % RH) conditions, with UiO-66-NH 2 retaining a capacity of 30.73 mL g −1 in dry settings and exhibiting robust performance in moisture-rich environments. Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations provided molecular-level insights into the adsorption mechanisms, revealing that functional groups play a crucial role in modulating binding interactions through hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole interactions, and spatial confinement effects. The computational binding energies corroborated the experimental isosteric heats of adsorption, validating the integrated experimental-computational approach.
