Global warming and the increasing frequency of extreme weather caused by the gradual increase in CO 2 concentration in the atmosphere are urgent issues that must be addressed. In this study, ZIF-8-derived in-situ nitrogen-doped porous carbon materials were prepared through one-step pyrolysis of ZIF-8. The synthesis was gradually optimized by exploring different pyrolysis temperatures to determine the optimal ZIF-8-derived porous carbon for CO 2 adsorption. The CO 2 -adsorption capacity of ZIF-8–800 reached 5.22 and 6.19 mmol g −1 at 25 ℃ and 0 ℃ (1 bar), respectively. After five cycles, its CO 2 -adsorption capacity decreased by only about 1.7 %. Moreover, the CO 2 /N 2 selectivity at 1 bar was as high as 21.2 (48.9 at 0.05 bar), and the isothermal adsorption heat was also within a moderate range (31 kJ mol −1 ). The superior CO 2 adsorption performance was found to originate from the comprehensive effect of the three-dimensional pore structure that combined reasonably coordinated micropores, mesopores, and macropores, as well as some specific favorable N/O groups. The results indicate the broad application prospects of ZIF-8-Ts in CO 2 capture and separation and provide new ideas for the sustainable application of novel MOF-derived porous carbon materials.

In this study, we developed a novel magnetic composite of walnut shell biochar (WSB) and modified it with ZIF-7 for the purpose of removing Co 2+ ions. We conducted a comprehensive evaluation of its performance in Co 2+ removal, considering various factors such as contact time, temperature, adsorbent dose, pH, and initial Co 2+ concentration. Utilizing response surface methodology-central composite design (RSM-CCD), we examined the interactions between these variables. The specific surface area and magnetic saturation value of the WSB/MnFe 2 O 4 /ZIF-7 composite were determined as 170.560 m 2 .g −1 and 23.469 emu.g −1 , respectively. ANOVA analysis indicated that our model effectively captures the interactions between variables, with a high R 2 value of 0.9982, explaining 99.82 % of the experimental data. Optimal conditions for maximum Co 2+ adsorption efficiency (99.05 %) were identified as follows: a contact time of 44.82 min, pH of 6.04, adsorbent dose of 0.947 mg.L -1 , temperature of 25.55 °C, and Co 2+ concentration of 11.13 mg.g −1 . Kinetic studies revealed that the Pseudo 2nd order kinetic model provided the best fit to the experimental data. The negative entropy parameter indicated a decrease in disorderliness during the adsorption process, while the exothermic nature of adsorption was confirmed by enthalpy values of −92.751 and −40.511 kJ.mol −1 for WSB/MnFe 2 O 4 /ZIF-7 and WSB, respectively. Furthermore, the Langmuir isotherm model demonstrated excellent fitting to the isotherm results, suggesting the dominance of homogeneous surfaces in adsorption. The maximum adsorption capacities for Co 2+ using WSB/MnFe 2 O 4 /ZIF-7 and WSB were determined to be 29.26 and 22.39 mg.g −1 , respectively. The WSB/MnFe 2 O 4 /ZIF-7 magnetic composite demonstrates promising potential for efficiently removing Co 2+ from both natural water sources and industrial wastewater, highlighting its versatility and effectiveness in environmental remediation applications.

The accurate and real-time detection of antibiotics in the complex mixtures remain a significant challenge in the clinical drug monitoring, the food safety and the environmental surveillance. In this study, we developed an innovative electrochemical sensor platform, i.e. Ag/ZIF-67/g-C 3 N 4 /GCE, combined with the assistance of machine learning for the detection of chloramphenicol (CHL) in the practice pharmaceutical and urine samples. The incorporation of machine learning into the sensor design represents a key advancement, enabling the intelligent analysis and the enhanced sensing performance. The Ag/ZIF-67/g-C 3 N 4 composite electrode exhibited remarkable electrochemical properties, including a broad linear detection range (0.01–250.00 μmol L −1 ) and an ultralow detection limit of 5.32 nmol L −1 . The sensor demonstrated excellent selectivity, reproducibility and stability, even in the complex sample matrices. For practical application, the developed sensor achieved high recovery rates (98.00–103.00 % in the pharmaceutical samples and 96.67–103.33 % in the urine samples) with the standard deviations below 2.56 % and 2.26 %, respectively. More importantly, the artificial neural network (ANN), specifically the backpropagation (BP) neural network, was applied to analyze the collected sensor data, successfully predicting and validating the CHL sensing efficiency. This study highlights the synergistic combination of the advanced materials and machine learning for the intelligent and the accurate detection of antibiotics, paving ways for the AI-powered electrochemical sensing platforms with potential applications in both health monitoring and real-world sample analysis.

The separation of mono- and di-branched C6 alkane isomers is one of the most challenging industrial processes for the production of high-octane gasoline components. In this work, ZIF-8 with dual ligands of imidazole (IM) and 2-methylimidazole (2-MIM), named as DLA-ZIF-8-IM, was synthesized by the method of delayed linker addition, and the microstructure of DLA-ZIF-8-IM was analyzed. Adsorption thermodynamic, kinetic and separation properties of C6 alkane isomers were investigated. The results show that compared with SALE-ZIF-8-IM prepared by the solvent-assisted ligand exchange method, the synthesis method of DLA-ZIF-8-IM is simpler and the BET specific surface area and pore volume (2136 m 2 ·g −1 and 0.72 cm 3 ·g −1 ) of DLA-ZIF-8-IM are increased by 21 % and 14 %, which is more conducive to adsorption and diffusion of 3-methylpentane (3MP) on DLA-ZIF-8-IM. The equilibrium adsorption capacity of 3MP on DLA-ZIF-8-IM reaches up to 2.89 mmol·g −1 , which is 1.1 times than that on SALE-ZIF-8-IM, and the ratio of diffusion time constants between 3MP and 2,3-dimethylbutane (23DMB) on DLA-ZIF-8-IM (5.13) is 2.2 times than that on SALE-ZIF-8-IM. Moreover, at 30℃, the breakthrough adsorption capacity of 3MP on DLA-ZIF-8-IM is 1.46 mmol·g −1 , which is 1.6 times more than that of SALE-ZIF-8-IM (0.90 mmol·g −1 ), while the breakthrough adsorption capacity of 23DMB is basically the same. The separation factor between 3MP and 23DMB on DLA-ZIF-8-IM is 2.96 via the synergy of thermodynamic and kinetic mechanism and the dynamic adsorption capacity of 3MP reaches 1.46 mmol·g −1 . DLA-ZIF-8-IM achieves complete separation of C6 alkane mixtures for obtaining single high-purity product. This work provides a novel synthesis strategy for developing C6 alkane (clear) adsorption separation materials by modulating microporous structures of dual-ligand MOFs.

In order to efficiently keep activities of enzymes and enhance stabilities of enzymes, intercalation of enzymes into core of Au nanorod and MOFs shell has been designed. Vice versa, enzymes immobilized on the surface of Au nanorod can guide MOFs shell growth via biomineralization interplay accompany with surfactant directed growth of MOFs on an anisotropic plasmonic template, leading to formation of a porous layer-by-layer nanostructure. Due to incorporation of stimuli-responsive enzyme and MOFs skeleton, loaded anticancer drug can be efficiently released under endogenous stimuli. In-situ SERS and UV-Vis analysis indicate that porous Au nanorod@enzymes@ZIF-8 nanocomposites can perform superior drug releasing behavior compared to Au nanorod@ZIF-8. Hence, the porous Au nanorod@enzymes@ZIF-8 nanocomposites can give more efficient enzymatic biocascade reaction in the nanoreactor in contrast with Au nanorod@ZIF-8@enzymes. Based on porous characteristics of ZIF-8 shell in the Au nanorod@enzymes@ZIF-8 nanocomposites, the nanocomposites can cause complete apoptosis of HeLa cell via enzymatic biocascade reaction and loaded anticancer drug. It can be expected that the unique biological-inorganic-organic hybridized nanosystem would be extensively applied in quantitative evaluation of multi-modal tumor therapy.

The dyes in printing and dyeing wastewater are harmful to the human body and the environment. It is essential to develop practical and effective adsorbents to deal with them. In this study, an Fe-doped, ZIF-67 derived Fe/Co/C composite material with strong magnetism was successfully synthesized. The effects of pH, initial concentration, and adsorption time on the properties of the adsorbent were investigated. To further improve the removal efficiency and enhance the practicality, potassium peroxymonosulfate (PMS) was added to the system due to its Fenton-like effect. Then, an Fe/Co/C composite was used with PMS to remove Congo red (CR) with a 98% removal of 250 mg·L−1. Moreover, for its high saturation magnetization of 85.4 emu·g−1, the Fe/Co/C composite can be easily recovered by applying a magnetic field, solving the problem that powdery functional materials are difficult to recover and, thus, avoiding secondary pollution. Furthermore, since the composite material was doped before carbonization, this synthetic strategy is flexible and the required metal elements can be added at will to achieve different purposes. This study demonstrates that this Fe-doped, ZIF-67 derived magnetic material has potential application prospects for dye adsorption.

ZIF-8 is considered as a promising functional material in anti-corrosion coating applications. However, ZIF-8 hydrolyzes easily, especially in acidic and salty media, due to its unstable Zn–N coordination bonding and hydrophilic crystal surface, which reduces anti-corrosion durability of the coatings. In this study, highly hydrophobic modification of ZIF-8 particles was performed through simple surface ligand exchange with 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole (DMBIM). The as-prepared ZIF-8/DMBIM particles showed high water-repellency and enhanced chemical stability in acidic, neutral, and alkaline media, and excellent compatibility and barrier function in epoxy coatings. As a consequence, ZIF-8/DMBIM modified epoxy coatings showed significantly enhanced corrosion resistances in acid, alkali and salt aqueous solutions with pH 3.0–11.0. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests demonstrated that, after 20 days of immersion in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution at all the studied pH, the |Z| 0.01 Hz values of ZIF-8/DMBIM modified epoxy coatings were approximately two orders of magnitude higher than of the original epoxy coatings. This work provides an idea for the development and application of ZIF materials in more fields, and innovative anti-corrosion coatings based on functional modification of materials.

Fenton-like reactions with Fe-based metal–organic framework (MOF) catalysts have been extensively explored in the field of environmental remediation. However, easy precipitation of Fe2+/Fe3+ and the production of sludge under basic conditions caused catalyst loss and greatly limited their large-scale application in industry. The development of an Fe-free Fenton-like reaction is of extreme importance and remains in its infant stage. Herein, a series of Fe-free dual MOF nanoparticles (HKUST-1/ZIF-67-X) were fabricated by in situ coating of ZIF-67 on HKUST-1 and were systematically analyzed by various characterization techniques, such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and N2 adsorption–desorption isotherms. Subsequently, these materials were applied in catalyzing methylene blue (MB) degradation. The effects of several operation parameters, i.e., pH, H2O2 dosage, catalyst dosage, and reaction temperature, on MB degradation were investigated. It was unveiled that HKUST-1/ZIF-67-7% exhibited an outstanding catalytic activity without the production of any sludge, which could reach as high as 93.29% MB degradation efficiency within 40 min. This was attributed to the unique core–satellite histoarchitecture of HKUST-1/ZIF-67-7% and the synergistic effect between HKUST-1 and ZIF-67. The HKUST-1/ZIF-67-7% composite still achieved up to 80.17% MB degradation efficiency at the fifth catalysis cycle. Importantly, HKUST-1/ZIF-67-7% exhibited significant catalytic efficiency under a wide pH range (4.2–10.1) and top catalytic efficiency at the near neutral pH value. The low cost, environment benignancy, satisfactory degradation efficiency, wide pH application range, and excellent reusability emphasize its great application potential in Fenton-like degradation of pollutants. This contribution could provide a paradigm investigation for designing non-iron-based MOF catalysts to solve the increasingly pressing pollution issues.

Gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) have been widely investigated because of their unique photoluminescence properties. However, the applications of AuNCs are limited by their poor stability and relatively low fluorescence. In the present work, we developed nanocomposites (L-Cys-AuNCs@ZIF-8) with high fluorescence and stability, which were constructed by encapsulating the water-dispersible L-Cys-AuNCs into a ZIF-8 via Zn2+-triggered growth strategy without high temperature and pressure. The maximum emission wavelength of the L-Cys-AuNCs@ZIF-8 composite was at 868 nm, and the fluorescence intensity of L-Cys-AuNCs@ZIF-8 was nearly nine-fold compared with L-Cys-AuNCs without the ZIF-8 package. The mechanism investigation by fluorescence spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that L-Cys-AuNCs@ZIF-8 impeded ligand rotation, induced energy dissipation, and diminished the self-quenching effect, attributing to the spatial distribution of L-Cys-AuNCs. Based on the high fluorescence efficiency of L-Cys-AuNCs@ZIF-8, a “signal off” detective platform was proposed with copper ions as a model analyte, achieving a sensitive detection limit of Cu2+at 16.7 nM. The quenching mechanism was confirmed, showing that the structure of the L-Cys-AuNCs@ZIF-8 nanocomposites was collapsed by the addition of Cu2+. Attributing to the strong adsorption ability between copper ions and pyridyl nitrogen, the as-prepared L-Cys-AuNCs@ZIF-8 was shown to accumulate Cu2+, and the Zn2+in ZIF-8 was replaced by Cu2+.

Gas sensing performances of MOF-derived metal-oxide-semiconductor were significantly affected by structural collapse and self-agglomeration. To solve the problem, ZIF-67 derived Co 3 O 4 based on polystyrene sphere templates were prepared by room temperature precipitation and high temperature calcination. The prepared materials were characterized and analyzed by a variety of characterization methods. The results showed that the structure and dispersion of ZIF-67 derived Co 3 O 4 were affected by template concentration. The optimized ZIF-67 derived Co 3 O 4 showed a hollow porous polyhedral structure with the improved integrity, dispersion and stability of structure. The BET results showed that the optimized hollow porous polyhedra had the larger specific surface area and richer pores. Because of the improved material properties, the gas sensing performances was also greatly enhanced. The response of the optimized ZIF-67 derived Co 3 O 4 to 10 ppm triethylamine was 6.72, while the response of ZIF-67 derived Co 3 O 4 without template was only 3.81. Compared with the sample without template, the response time of the optimized ZIF-67 derived Co 3 O 4 were shorter 27 s and the recovery time were shorter 154 s. Besides, the gas responses of the optimized sample with template showed a good stability and repeatability. The relative standard deviation of responses during 41 days was only 2.992 %. This work showed that the template-assisted growth is a promising way to enhance the structure and gas sensing properties of ZIF-67 derived Co 3 O 4 .

In this study, we endeavored to catalyze the biosynthesis of D -phenyllactic (D-PLA) from L-Phenylalanine (L-Phe) through a one-pot method. However, the crucial enzymes for the biosynthesis of phenylpyruvate (PPA), amino acid oxidase (L-AAD), is a membrane-bound protein. Herein, we proposed a novel co-immobilization strategy of whole cells and enzymes, integrating them into ZIF-90 to achieve efficient biosynthesis of D-PLA. Consequently, we embarked on integrating both enzyme and E. coli into ZIF-90, ultimately obtaining the novel biocatalyst E. coli /LDH@ZIF-90. This achievement facilitated the cascade reaction between LDH and E. coli , enabling a streamlined one-pot bioconversion process. The morphology and structure of E. coli /LDH@ZIF-90 were thoroughly characterized using a range of methods, including XRD, SEM, FT-IR, CLSM, and XPS, which confirmed that the material had been successfully synthesized. Further activity experiments revealed that E. coli /LDH@ZIF-90 exhibited good stability even under harsh conditions. Additionally, the biocatalyst retained 76 % of its initial catalytic activity after completing six cycles. Moreover, when utilized for the biosynthesis of D-PLA, this system demonstrated an impressive conversion rate of 85.2 % after 12 h. The successful cascade catalysis from L-Phe to D-PLA underscored the potential of the enzyme-cell cascade catalytic system, offering valuable insights for its potential industrial applications.

The development of multifunctional materials capable of serving both as high-efficiency adsorbents and high-performance supercapacitors is a critical challenge for environmental and energy applications. In this study, a novel zeolitic imidazole framework-8/mycelial pellet (ZIF-8/MP) composite was successfully synthesized using a simple in-situ growth and staged adsorption process. The MP with its three-dimensional porous structure, served as a scaffold, facilitating the uniform distribution of ZIF-8 across the porous carbon matrix. The resulting ZIF-8 in the ZIF-8/MP composite demonstrated a remarkable adsorption capacity for Congo red (CR), with a maximum capacity of 1428.57 mg/g. The adsorption mechanism was attributed to electrostatic interactions, zinc coordination, hydrogen bonding, and π–π conjugation, as confirmed by FTIR, XPS, and DFT analyses. After adsorption, the carbonized ZIF-8/MP composite demonstrated outstanding supercapacitor performance, achieving a specific capacitance of 113.4 F/g at 1 A/g, and maintaining 93 % capacitance retention after 5000 charge/discharge cycles. Additionally, the ZIF-8/MP composite effectively reduced the toxicity of CR, as demonstrated by phytotoxicity assays, underscoring its potential for environmental remediation. This innovative approach provides an eco-friendly, easily separable, efficient, and practical multifunctional material for transforming hazardous waste into valuable resources for environmental detoxification and energy storage applications.
