A core–shell–shell sandwich material is developed with silver nanowires as the core, ZIF-8 as an inner shell, and gold nanoparticles as the outer shell, namely, Ag@ZIF-8@Au nanowires (AZA-NW). Then, the synthesized AZA-NW is transformed into a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) sensor (named M-AZA) by the vacuum filtration method and used to enrich, detect, and inactivate traces of bacteria in the environment. The M-AZA sensor has three main functions: (1) trace bacteria are effectively enriched, with an enrichment efficiency of 91.4%; (2) ultrasensitive detection of trace bacteria is realized, with a minimum detectable concentration of 1 × 101 CFU/mL; (3) bacteria are effectively killed up to 92.4%. The shell thickness of ZIF-8 (5–75 nm) is controlled by adjusting the synthesis conditions. At an optimum shell thickness of 15 nm, the effect of gold nanoparticles and ZIF-8 shell on the sensor’s stability, SERS activity, and antibacterial performance is investigated. The simulation of the SERS sensor using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method is consistent with the experimental results, theoretically demonstrating the role of the gold nanoparticles and the ZIF-8 shell. The sensor also shows excellent stability, safety, and generalizability. The campus water sample is then tested on-site by the M-AZA SERS sensor, indicating its potential for practical applications.

Improving the reactant mass transfer on the catalyst surface is a feasible approach to fabricate a robust solid catalyst for efficiently promoting the biomass macromolecules-involving reactions, specifically for biodiesel production by using non-edible acidic oils as feedstocks. In this premise, to reduce the mass transfer resistance, the hierarchical porous SOM-ZIF-8 was firstly synthesized using polystyrene spheres (PS) as templates and then employed as catalyst supports for loading of Keplerate-type polyoxomolybdates {Mo 132 } to prepare a novel {Mo 132 }@SOM-ZIF-8 solid acid catalyst. The catalyst characterization results revealed that the active species of {Mo 132 } clusters were well-dispersed on the SOM-ZIF-8 support and the primary framework of the SOM-ZIF-8 support remained nearly unaltered after the preparation processes. This prepared catalyst featured three-dimensional ordered hierarchical porous structure and dual Bronsted-Lewis acid sites, with a large surface area of 736.26 m 2 /g and high acidity of 903 μmol/g, presenting high activities for concurrent triglyceride transesterification and free fatty acids (FFAs) esterification. With the acidic soybean oils as feedstocks, 93.9 % of oil conversion and full FFA conversion to biodiesel were achieved over this solid catalyst at 130 °C for 8 h with a catalyst loading of 2 wt%, thus imparting the great potential for a one-pot efficient biodiesel manufacture from the acidic oils to comply with the demand of green and clean production. The synergy between the hierarchical porous structure and the strong acidity emerged, thus boosting the catalytic performance of this solid catalyst for the heterogeneous biodiesel production. The good FFA and moisture-resistance capacity was shown for this catalyst even in the case of moisture content of 3 % and FFA content of 25 %. Further, this catalyst showed excellent reusability without significantly losing its catalytic performance even after five runs, providing a deeper insight into constructing efficient solid catalysts with hierarchical porous structure that are utilized for cost-effective production of biodiesel from the non-edible acidic oils.

Metal-nitrogen-carbon (M–N–C) catalysts are promising alternatives to precious metal-based bifunctional catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in Zn-air batteries (ZABs). Herein, FeCo@nitrogen doped carbon nanotube/nitrogen doped reduced graphene oxide (FeCo@NCNT/N-rGO) catalyst with unique 3D heterostructure was synthesized through one-step pyrolysis of FeCo-ZIF-8 precursor anchored on graphene oxide (FeCo-ZIF-8/GO). Benefiting from the coupling of FeCo dual-metal sites with nitrogen-doped carbon substrates, the FeCo@NCNT/N-rGO catalyst achieved extraordinary bifunctional oxygen electrocatalytic activity, exhibiting a high ORR half-wave potential (E 1/2 ) of 0.881 V (vs. RHE), which was superior to the Pt/C catalyst (0.838 V), and OER overpotential of 343 mV at 10 mA cm −2 , merely inferior to RuO 2 by 33 mV. The resulting ΔE (defined as E j=10 − E 1/2 ) reaches an impressively low value of 0.69 V, highlighting its superior reversible oxygen electrocatalytic performance. Meanwhile, achieving a high-power density of 240 mW cm −2 and open circuit voltage (OCV) of 1.488 V in ZAB applications, superior to that of Pt/C + RuO 2 in ZAB (1.447 V; 143 mW cm −2 ). Flexible solid-state ZAB with FeCo@NCNT/N-rGO achieves 1.416 V OCV and 47.4 mW cm −2 power density, remaining stable even when bent 180°. This study guides design of dual-site non-precious metal bifunctional oxygen catalysts.

Currently, the development of two kinds of materials from a single precursor has been an important frontier in material synthesis. In this study, we have successfully fabricated a single precursor using metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) (zeolitic imidazolate framework, ZIF-8) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). ZnO quantum dots (QDs)/carbon/CNTs and porous N-doped carbon/CNTs have been selectively synthesized from a single ZIF-8/CNTs template. When the two derived materials were used for supercapacitor electrodes, they showed high capacitance values (185 F g−1 g for ZnO QDs/carbon/CNTs at 0.5 A g−1 and 250 F g−1 g for porous N-doped carbon/CNTs at 1 A g−1, respectively). Further, an all-solid-state asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) device using ZnO QDs/carbon/CNTs as the positive electrode and porous N-doped carbon/CNTs as the negative electrode was fabricated, and this device could reach a working potential of 1.7 V, delivering a maximum energy density of 23.6 W h kg−1 and a maximum power density of 16.9 kW kg−1, which are better than those of the ZnO-based symmetric or asymmetric supercapacitor devices.

The authors describe an efficient method for the extraction of tetracycline antibiotics (TCs) from water samples by using a new kind of core-shell adsorbent. It consists of a magnetite (Fe 3 O 4 ) core and a metal-organic framework (type ZIF-8) as the shell. The sorbent has a large specific surface and superparamagnetic response. The sorbent was characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption, and X-ray diffraction. The adsorption isotherms, dynamic adsorption, and mechanisms of interactions between tetracycline and sorbent were studied. Various parameters affecting the extraction efficiency were optimized. Following desorption of the TCs with methanol (containing 1% of acetic acid), they were quantified by using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography combined with mass spectrometry. The method has a linear range that extends from 0.5 to 50 ng·L −1 , and the limits of detection for tetracycline, chlortetracycline, and oxytetracycline are 0.125, 0.122 and 0.143 ng·L −1 , respectively. The relative standard deviations of intra-day and inter-day assays range from 3.3% to 8.5%, and from 2.8% to 8.3%, respectively. The recoveries of TCs (at spiking levels of 0.5, 5.0 and 50 ng·L −1 ) are in the range between 78.3% and 93.7%. The method was successfully applied to the determination of TCs in spiked river water, fish pond water, and livestock wastewater.

Intelligent films are essential for real-time monitoring of food spoilage. However, the application is often limited by challenges such as hydrophilicity and color instability. In this study, two high hydrophobic bilayer indicators based on sodium alginate-polyvinyl alcohol/chitosan-zein with alizarin grafted onto ZIF-8 carrier (AL@ZIF-8) were fabricated using the casting method and electrospinning, respectively. Molecular docking simulations confirmed the successful grafting of AL@ZIF-8 onto the film substrates. The performance of films was compared and the effectiveness in monitoring freshness indicators was evaluated. The cast film had a precisely controlled thickness due to self-assembly performance, resulting in superior mechanical properties (TS = 10.64 MPa, EB = 43.764 %). In comparison, the nanofiber films demonstrated higher UV-blocking ability (ΔE < 4), faster spoilage response, and greater safety (Cell viability >80 %). Importantly, the nanofiber films exhibited higher sensitivity in monitoring beef freshness, with a color change pattern strongly correlating with spoilage (R 2 = 0.8976).

Achieving a high yield of oxygenates and inhibiting overoxidation remain challenging for CH 4 photooxidation. Here, we report a catalyst with enriched Ag-ZnO interfaces by using ZIF-8 as the precursor. The resulting Ag/Z-450 photocatalysts show extraordinary efficiency in the photocatalytic oxidation of CH 4 , a high liquid oxygenate yield of 57.88 mmol·g cat −1 (28.94 mmol·g cat −1 ·h −1 ) and a selectivity of ∼100 % were obtained over 3.0Ag/Z-450, with HCHO as the major product (41.04 mmol·g cat −1 , ∼71 % selectivity). Mechanistic studies revealed that ZnO and Ag species acted as electron donors and acceptors, respectively, which enhanced charge carriers transfer and separation. CH 4 and O 2 can be effectively activated to generate •CH 3 and reactive oxygen species (ROS), their following reaction led to formation of CH 3 OOH, which can be further converted to CH 3 OH and HCHO. This work contributes to the development of a “two-in-one” CH 4 photooxidation catalyst system that simultaneously achieves unparallel productivity and selectivity.

ZIF-8 has strong potential for biomedical applications due to its excellent biocompatibility. In this study, 89.67 % of natural drug magnolol (Mag) was loaded in ZIF-8 to form Mag@ZIF-8, which was subsequently modified with chitosan (CS) to obtain Mag@ZIF-8/CS. The prepared materials were characterized using the UV–Vis spectroscopy, FTIR, XRD, DLS, SEM and TEM techniques. Thermal stability of materials was analyzed using Thermos Gravimetric Analysis system. PDI and Z -average hydrodynamic sizes of Mag@ZIF-8/CS and Mag@ZIF-8 were increased compared to ZIF-8. Similarly, Mag@ZIF-8 revealed higher zeta potential (+17.5 ± 2.3 mV) than ZIF-8 (+9.8 ± 0.5 mV), but Mag@ZIF-8/CS exposed 3.2 ± 0.9 mV, in water; however, at pH 4 it was changed to +5 mV. Pure ZIF-8 and Mag@ZIF-8 exhibited a hexagonal morphology, while Mag@ZIF-8/CS had a rotund, flat-like structure, with mean particle size of 101 nm, 123 nm and 343 nm, respectively. Density Functional Theory (DFT) analysis offered a deeper insight into the electronic properties and binding interactions of the composites. Under acidic conditions, drug release from Mag@ZIF-8 was higher (86.4 %) and faster than from Mag@ZIF-8/CS (74 %), when tested at physiological pH 7.4 and 37 °C. This, suggests that CS modification of Mag@ZIF-8 is crucial for achieving prolonged and sustained drug release. Mag@ZIF-8 and Mag@ZIF-8/CS depicted a two-fold increase in antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus , demonstrating a synergistic effect. The MIC value for E. coli and S. aureus were, 35 μg/mL and 20 μg/mL, respectively, confirming the enhanced antibacterial efficacy of the composites. Molecular docking analysis provided deeper insights into the binding interactions between the materials and the E. coli protein 5AZC.

Recently, continuous-fluid catalysis technology has been widely used in biocatalysis. However, the poor stability of the reactor-supported enzyme and expensive manufacturing cost of the reactor restrict its use. Herein, a wood-based bioreactor, β-glucosidase@ zeolitic imidazolate framework-8@delignified wood (β-Glu@ZIF-8@DW), with attractive features was developed. The naturally oriented channels of the xylem-based reactor enable high throughput. The interference of the fluids through the porous inner walls in the directional channels of the xylem-based reactor considerably increased the probability of contact between the substrate and enzyme. Resveratrol with multifaceted biological activities exists in many plants, including Mulberry (Morus spp., Moraceae) and Camellia sinensis and Polygonum cuspidatum (P. cuspidatum) . However, it mainly presents in its glycosylated form (polydatin) rather than as free resveratrol in plant. To improve the acquisition of resveratrol, continuous convert polydatin into resveratrol by a bioreactor is a good strategy. The conversion rate of polydatin using the as-prepared reactor reached 98.98% in 2 h. The uniform distribution of β-Glu@ZIF-8 in the channel increased the stability of the bioreactor with an 80.28% conversion rate after seven cycles. The reactor provided an excellent strategy for continuous catalysis, which can be used for industrial production with low synthesis costs and high mass transfer efficiency. Therefore, it has great potential for commercial applications.

High levels of Cu (II) in the human body can cause kidney dysfunction, liver cirrhosis, and many neurological diseases, such as Wilson’s disease (WD). Therefore, rapid and efficient detection of Cu (II) in urine is highly essential. First, by a simple multiple seeded growth method, the gold nanoclusters (Au NCs) embedded metal-organic framework (ZIF-8) is decorated on cellulose paper to generate a fluorescent Au NCs@ZIF-8 paper. Then the Au NCs@ZIF-8 paper is loaded on the fluidic cartridge integrated with the syringe for ultra-sensitive urine copper detection. The fluorescence paper is intercalated in a reusable fluidic cartridge and attached to a syringe, allowing the fluidic cartridge to flow a amount of samples through the paper. The interaction of Cu (II) with in situ growth of Au NCs@ZIF-8 on the paper induced fluorescence quenching , which fluorescence images can be recorded and analyzed by the portable smartphone-assisted device. Furthermore, a large amount of sample solution was flowed through the Au NCs@ZIF-8 paper, enabling more Cu (II) to react with the Au NCs@ZIF-8 paper on the novel paper-based analytical device (nPAD). Cu (II) detection can be completed by nPAD in 20 mins, and the limit of detection was as low as 9.2 nM. We show the value of the paper device for on-site detection of copper (II) and indicate that it has excellent potential for clinical applications and environmental monitoring.

A facile and efficient “bottle-around-ship” approach for preparing the ratiometric fluorescent probe has been developed by encapsulating the red-colored fluorescence CdTe quantum dots (QDs) and blue-colored fluorescence graphitic carbon nitride quantum dots (g-CNQDs) into the zeolitic imidazolate metal–organic frameworks (ZIF-8) in one step. At a single excitation of 360 nm, the obtained probe ZIF-8@g-CNQD/CdTe shows the dual-emission peaked at 450 and 633 nm, respectively. The red emission of CdTe QDs is selectively quenched by the Hg 2+ , whereas the blue fluorescence of g-CNQDs as an internal reference is insensitive, resulting in an apparent color transformation from pink to blue for special recognition of Hg 2+ . By this approach, the relative fluorescence intensity ratio ( F 633 / F 450 ) decreased linearly with increasing Hg 2+ concentration in the 0.2–3.5 μM range with a low limit of detection (LOD) of ~ 46 nM. Therefore, we demonstrate that this “bottle-around-ship” process provides a new strategy for the construction of ratiometric fluorescent Hg 2+ probes with good simplicity, high efficiency, and excellent stabilities. Moreover, the obtained Hg 2+ fluorescent probe shows good results in the detection of actual samples. Graphical abstract

The combined application of nanozymes and natural enzymes has received widespread attention in recent years. In this work, a simple and efficient method was used to synthesize a composite material of CuO nanoparticles modified zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (CuO NPs@ZIF-8) with multiple enzyme activities (glucose oxidase-like and hydrolase-like activities) to detect the activity of natural enzymes through fluorescence and colorimetric (UV-Vis) dual-mode detections. The hydrolase- and oxidase-like activities of CuO NPs@ZIF-8 show an acceptable affinity with L-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate trisodium (AAP) and o-phenylenediamine (OPD). Using the developed sensor, highly sensitive detection of natural enzymes glucose oxidase (GOX) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was achieved through both fluorescent and colorimetric analysis with a wide linear range (fluorescence for GOX: 0.86-1.23×105 mU/mL, UV-Vis for GOX: 0.081-1.62×105 mU/mL; fluorescence for ALP: 0.042-1.20×104 mU/mL, UV-Vis for ALP: 0.0046-1.23×104 mU/mL) and low LOQs (fluorescence for GOX: 0.86 mU/mL, UV-Vis for GOX: 0.081 mU/mL; fluorescence for ALP: 0.042 mU/mL, UV-Vis for ALP: 0.0046 mU/mL). Compared to the other fluorescent and colorimetric sensors, this sensor has better catalytic activity due to the addition of GOX and ALP, which can amplify the detection signal and improve the sensitivity. This is the first time that composite material CuO NPs@ZIF-8 with "tandem enzyme" activity was synthesized and applied in the detection of enzyme activity. Additionally, the proposed fluorescent and UV-Vis platforms exhibit the capability to detect GOX and ALP in serum samples with satisfactory recovery, indicating potential application prospects in biochemical analysis.
