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.

Although molybdenum carbide (Mo x C) has emerged as an effective absorber of electromagnetic (EM) waves, its practical application is hindered by impedance mismatch and single loss mechanism. Herein, we developed a one-step method for creating NaCl template precursors assembled with ZIF-67 to produce porous multiple components of Mo x C composites. The Mo x C-Co/C composites exhibit a minimum reflection loss ( RL min ) of −59.69 dB with a bandwidth of 3.12 GHz at a thickness of 1.50 mm. The RL min reaches −71.39 dB with a bandwidth of 4.08 GHz at a thickness of 2.09 mm. The flower-like Mo x C-Co/C composites are capable of improving impedance matching and offering multiple loss mechanisms such as interfacial polarization, dipolar polarization, conductive loss and magnetic loss, resulting in enhanced EM wave absorption. Thus, our work featured a simple strategy to provide a unique insight into fabricating high-performance EM wave absorbers on molybdenum carbon basis.

Chitosan film is frequently used to preserve food. However, the stability of chitosan film is poor, so it is crucial to strengthen the stability, anti-ultraviolet, antibacterial activity, anti-oxidation and continuous fresh-keeping activity of chitosan film. In this work, paeonol@ZIF-8 and Ag 2 CO 3 /Ag 2 O nano-heterojunctions were dispersed into chitosan/kudzu-based solution by matrix mixing and solution casting method, which successfully prepared a biodegradable nanocomposite film and used it for preservation of raspberry. Moreover, ZIF-8 provided a large number of active sites to PAE. The loading rate of PAE@ZIF-8 was 36.33 ± 0.82 % by a simple one-pot process. The paeonol@ZIF-8 had the effect of slow release in different food environments and intelligent response to pH. The Ag 2 CO 3 /Ag 2 O nano-heterojunctions also cooperated to inhibit bacteria by releasing silver ions. Meanwhile, the physical and chemical properties of chitosan film were improved, which could make it more suitable for food packaging. The improved film could block 90.32 % of UV–visible light. Moreover, its antioxidant and antibacterial properties were increased by 1.24 times and 4 times, respectively. It could extend the shelf life of raspberries to 5 days as the hydrophobic film. The nanocomposite film also effectively maintained cucumber slice quality. It also found that the migrating silver ion content of raspberry and cucumber slice complied with EU food safety law regulations. Importantly, the nanocomposite film was degradable and did not affect the germination and growth of the seed. Our work provides a sustainable multifunctional food packaging material that can be used to preserve perishable foods.

Ochratoxin A (OTA) as a mycotoxin has strong carcinogenicity and can affect human health. Thus, it is necessary to establish an accurate method to detect OTA. Herein, a ratiometric absorbance and fluorescence dual model immunoassay based on ZIF-8@uranine (ZIF-8@UR) and p -nitrophenol (PNP) was developed. In this new immunoassay, alkaline phosphatase-labeled secondary antibodies (IgG-ALP) were used to associate OTA with signal output. The IgG-ALP can hydrolyze 4-nitrophenyl phosphate salt (PNPP) to generate yellow PNP and phosphate (Pi). Then, the Pi triggered the decomposition of ZIF-8@UR to release UR with a fluorescence signal. The absorbance ratio of PNP and UR was taken as a ratiometric absorbance signal. The ratiometric absorbance and fluorescence modes exhibited linear ranges of 0.781–50.0 ng/mL and 1.563–100.0 ng/mL, with limits of detection (LODs) of 0.112 ng/mL and 0.147 ng/mL, respectively. Meanwhile, the new immunoassay showed high specificity for OTA and satisfactory recovery rate in actual samples.

The hyperglycemic microenvironment of diabetic chronic wounds is a major driver of severe bacterial infections, excessive inflammatory responses, and impaired angiogenesis, all of which delay wound healing. To address these challenges, we prepared a glucose oxidase (GOx)–loaded zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (GOx@ZIF-8). Furthermore, a multifunctional hydrogel (AACZ) was fabricated by incorporating 5-methylfurfural– and L-arginine–grafted alginate and maleimide–grafted chondroitin sulfate with GOx@ZIF-8 through the Diels–Alder reaction. Results showed that immobilized GOx remained active for a longer time than of free GOx. At the wound site, GOx catalyzed the conversion of excess glucose to gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ). The reduced pH in the local region induced Zn 2+ release from zeolitic imidazolate framework-8, simultaneously, H 2 O 2 mediated the generation of nitric oxide (NO) from L-arginine. The synergy between Zn 2+ and NO endowed AACZ with excellent antibacterial properties. The biocompatible hydrogel promoted cell proliferation and migration, regulated local blood glucose levels, inhibited bacterial activity, alleviated inflammation and promoted angiogenesis and collagen deposition at the diabetic wound site. These findings suggest that AACZ holds promise as a responsive dressing material in healing for complex wounds.

Flumequine, a quinolone antibacterial drug, has been widely used in aquiculture. However, excess use of flumequine may lead to antibiotic residues in animals and its rapid determination remains a challenge. In this study, a visual lanthanide metal–organic frame probe of Trp@ZIF-8/Tb3+ was used for the determination of flumequine. The probe was stepwise synthetized by tryptophan (Trp), zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8), and terbium (III). In the presence of flumequine, the fluorescence of Tb3+ in Trp@ZIF-8/Tb3+ was sensitized. The fluorescence method was fast, requiring only 40 s, the detection range was wide from 0.03 to 1.53 μM, and the detection limit was 0.018 μM. Moreover, the Trp@ZIF-8/Tb3+ probe had good specificity and strong anti-interference ability, which was used for flumequine determination in milk, tap water, and serum. Furthermore, the Trp@ZIF-8/Tb3+ probe provided a method for the rapid determination of flumequine on test strips: The color changed from blue to green with increasing concentration. Hence, the developed Trp@ZIF-8/Tb3+ probe offers an efficient and convenient method for flumequine determination.

Currently, Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) face challenges in antibiotic adsorption due to their inherent difficulty in recovery and susceptibility to hydrolysis. To overcome these limitations, herein, Mn-doped ZIF-67 was synthesized via coordination modification and then electrospun with high-mechanical-strength polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) to produce Mn-ZIF-67@PVP/PVDF composite nanofiber membranes. Characterization results based on SEM, XRD, and FT-IR analyses demonstrate that the layered nanofiber membrane provides abundant attachment sites for Mn-ZIF-67. Antibiotic adsorption experiments further reveal that the composite membrane exhibits facile recyclability, with Mn-ZIF-67 retaining 80 % of its initial adsorption capacity after five consecutive cycles, while maintaining its crystalline structure and remarkable aqueous stability throughout repeated utilization. The composite membrane achieved maximum adsorption capacities of 583.43 mg/g for tetracycline (TC) and 122.42 mg/g for ciprofloxacin (CIP). The adsorption process followed pseudo-first-order kinetics and Langmuir isotherm models, while thermodynamic analysis revealed a spontaneous and endothermic nature. The adsorption performance showed minimal impact from coexisting ions and pH variations. These superior characteristics of enhanced adsorption performance, exceptional water stability, and convenient recoverability endow the Mn-ZIF-67@PVP/PVDF composite membrane with significant practical advantages over conventional ZIF materials for antibiotic removal applications.

Formaldehyde sensors represent an effective technology for real-time, online monitoring of formaldehyde concentrations. The selectivity of gas-sensitive materials for formaldehyde is a fundamental determinant of sensor performance and is crucial for the development of formaldehyde sensing technology. In this work, Sn-doped Zn-MOFs were employed to fabricate SnO 2 /ZnO micro-nano materials, and their selective response behaviors to formaldehyde were systematically explored. The results demonstrate that 5 % SnO 2 /ZnO, prepared with 5 % Sn doping, exhibits exceptional selectivity for formaldehyde. Under testing conditions of 170 °C and relative humidity below 60 %, the 5 % SnO 2 /ZnO sensor achieved a selectivity coefficient of 0.87 toward 50 ppm formaldehyde, with a response value of 72.8, response and recovery times of 81/30 s, a linear regression coefficient of 0.9997, and a minimum detection limit of 0.047 ppm. Moreover, the 5 % SnO 2 /ZnO sensor demonstrates excellent selectivity, anti-interference capability, and stability for formaldehyde detection. The enhanced formaldehyde selectivity is attributed to the high specific surface area, abundant pore structure, abundant oxygen vacancies, and n–n heterojunctions present in the 5 % SnO 2 /ZnO composite.

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.

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.

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.
