Fluoride compounds are abundant and widely distributed in the environment at various concentrations, which can seriously injure the human body. In this study, we aim to evaluate the effects of excessive fluoride exposure on the liver, kidney, and heart tissues of healthy female Xenopus laevis by administering NaF (0, 100, and 200 mg/L) in drinking water for 90 days. The expression level of procaspase-8, cleaved-caspase-8, and procaspase-3 proteins were determined by Western blot . Compared with the control group, the group exposed to NaF exhibited expression levels of procaspase-8, cleaved-caspase-8, and procaspase-3 proteins that were considerably upregulated at a concentration of 200 mg/L in the liver and kidney. The cleaved-caspase-8 protein expression in the group exposed to a high concentration of NaF was lower than that in the control group in heart. Histopathological results by hematoxylin and eosin staining showed that excessive NaF exposure caused necrosis of hepatocytes and vacuolization degeneration. Granular degeneration and necrosis in renal tubular epithelial cells were also observed. Moreover, hypertrophy of myocardial cells, atrophy of myocardial fibers and disorder of myocardial fibers were detected. These results demonstrated that NaF-induced apoptosis and the mediated death receptor pathway activation ultimately damaged the liver and kidney tissues. This finding offers a fresh perspective on the effects of F-induced apoptosis in X. laevis.

Recently, anti-corrosion coatings with auto-inhibition and self-reporting on their premature flaws are becoming more and more attractive. In this work, we engineered a cerium nitrate/8-hydroxyquinoline (Ce-HQ) hybrid pigment to endow epoxy coatings with corrosion self-inhibiting and fluorescent self-reporting performances via molecule design. The Ce-HQ pigments were synthesized by physical mixture and then dispersed into the commercial epoxy coating. Once the epoxy coating gets degraded, the underneath aluminum alloy matrix may corrode to produce Al 3+ ions, which can compete with Ce 3+ ions in the Ce-HQ complex, and then chelate with dissociative 8-HQ to form fluorescent Al-HQ complex, due to the higher bonding strength of Al 3+ with 8-HQ than Ce 3+ ions. Thus, not only the responsive releasing of Ce 3+ ions and 8-HQ can inhibit the underlying Al alloy, but the newly formed Al-HQ complex could indicate the location and severity of coating flaws through fluorescent emission under UV light. Electrochemical impedance evidenced that the composite epoxy coating containing 1 % mass Ce-HQ presents high corrosion resistance even after 504 h of salt spray test, showing 90 % corrosion refraining efficiency. This work may enlighten an approach to developing self-healing and self-diagnosis coating for premature corroded Al alloy beneath coatings via reactive release and fluorescent visualization.

In this study, a new graphitic carbon nitride (CN) catalyst was synthesized by combining 5-sulfonic-8-hydroxyquinoline (SQ) and Fe (III) ions. Photocatalysis reduction of nitroaromatic compounds was employed to evaluate the catalytic performance of the synthesized catalyst. Compared to the pristine CN, the optimized CN-SQ-2-Fe photocatalyst showed enhanced absorption in visible light region, which promoted photogenerated charge transfer and separation. Herein, we also developed a green and efficient photocatalysis route to convert nitrophenols (NPs) into aminophenols (APs) using CN-SQ-2-Fe photocatalyst. The visible light, separation of photogenerated charges and carrier transportation of the optimized sample CN-SQ-2-Fe were significantly improved in comparison with the pristine CN and the modified samples of CN-Fe and CN-SQ-2. Accordingly, the CN-SQ-2-Fe showed a high conversion (96%) of p- nitrophenol ( p- NP) to p- aminophenol ( p- AP) under visible light irradiation for 2 h and possessed high photocatalytic durability. Different NP compounds were also studied under the condition of photocatalysis reduction and demonstrated high conversion (>97%). Finally, a possible mechanism was proposed for the photocatalytic reduction of p- NP by CN-SQ-2-Fe. This work provides an effective approach to prepare graphitic carbon nitride (CN) modified by 5-sulfonic-8-hydroxyquinoline (SQ) and Fe (III) ions, which is a potential visible light driven photocatalyst for the reduction of nitrobenzene derivatives.

A facile, ultra-sensitive and cost-effective electrochemical sensor was successfully prepared by combining metal–organic framework ZIF-8 with MWCNTs-COOH, which detecting of tert -butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) in edible oil and fried foods. The hydrothermally synthesized ZIF-8 material with microporous structure was demonstrated to have large specific surface area, and together with the MWCNTs-COOH with high electrical conductivity and catalytic properties, was used as a modified substrate for electrodes. Because of the synergistic effect between ZIF-8 and MWCNTs-COOH, the modified electrode exhibited significant electrocatalytic ability for TBHQ. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the ZIF-8/MWCNTs-COOH modified electrode obtained good linearity when the TBHQ concentration ranged from 0.01 to 25.0 μg mL −1 with the LOD (limit of detection) of 0.009 μg mL −1 (S/N = 3). Moreover, the constructed electrochemical sensor exhibits better anti-interference capability, reproducibility and stability, and can be used to monitor the content of TBHQ in oil and fried foods.

The functionalization of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) has been considered an effective strategy for promoting heavy metals removal from water. Therefore, a novel post coordination modulation method was systematically studied to synthesize ZIF-8 functionalized by 2,5-Dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole (Post-ZIF-8-DMTD) for trace heavy metals removal from drinking water. The effects of addition time and addition amount of DMTD on the structure and adsorption performance of Post-ZIF-8-DMTD were investigated. It was found that addition time of DMTD had minor impact, while addition amount of DMTD had great impact, appropriate DMTD addition amount (375 mg) could not only provide sufficient active sites but also avoid self-polymerization of DMTD. Post-ZIF-8-DMTD exhibited a more regular structure than Before-ZIF-8-DMTD synthesized by direct coordination of mim and DMTD with Zn 2+ , and had faster adsorption rate and deeper purification capability for trace Pb(II). Post-ZIF-8-DMTD also exhibited good stability, wide suitable pH range, high maximum adsorption capacity (4.34 mg/g) that met WHO effluent Pb(II) concentration standard and excellent capture capacity for many trace heavy metals in tap water, and could be regenerated effectively with thiourea solution. The post coordination modulation method provides a novel and efficient strategy for the functionalization of MOFs, and Post-ZIF-8-DMTD has excellent application prospects in drinking water purification.

Zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) base-aptamer “gate-lock” biomaterial probes have been synthesized for monitoring intracellular deoxynivalenol (DON) and cytochrome c (cyt c) levels. The aptamer and organic fluorescent dye were regarded as a recognition element and a sensing element, respectively. In the presence of DON, the aptamers of DON and cyt c were specifically bound with the DON and induced cyt c, leading to the dissociation of aptamers from the porous surface of the probes. The gate was subsequently opened to release methylene blue (MB) and Rhodamine 6G (Rh6G), and their fluorescence (emission of MB at 700 nm and Rh6G at 550 nm) significantly recovered within 6 h. Cell imaging successfully monitored the exposure of DON and the biological process of cyt c discharge triggered by the activation of the DON-induced apoptosis pathway. In addition, the response between DON and cyt c was observed during the apoptosis process, which is of high significance for the comprehensive and systematic development of mycotoxins cytotoxicity.

Graphical The morphology of micelles in surfactant-free emulsion was regulated by adjusting the oil-water ratio and concentration of amphiphilic copolymer. Subsequently, polymer micelles served as templates to direct the assembly of ZIF-8 crystals in the surfactant-free emulsion to fabricate polymer/ZIF-8 composite materials (ZIF-8@CSP) with various structures. An amphiphilic chitosan-g-poly N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) methacrylamide (CS-g-PDMAPMA, CSP) was proposed and synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (RAFT), and further employed as emulsifier to construct a surfactant-free emulsion. The morphology of micelles in surfactant-free emulsion was regulated by adjusting the oil-water ratio and concentration of amphiphilic copolymer. Subsequently, polymer micelles served as templates to direct the assembly of ZIF-8 crystals in the surfactant-free emulsion to fabricate polymer/ZIF-8 composite materials (ZIF-8@CSP) with various structures. Specifically, ZIF-8@CSP with various architectures such as spheres, rods, cubes, leaf-shaped flakes, cross-flowers and wrinkled cubes were obtained by varying the concentration of CSP, the addition sequence of ZIF-8 precursors and the ratio of oil-water.

The unreasonable spraying and random migration of acetamiprid may cause pollution of crops, soil and water resources in the environment, resulting in threatening ecosystem and human health. However, the monitoring of acetamiprid using mass spectrum in the environment encounters challenges due to high-cost instruments and complex processing time. Herein, we fabricated a rapid and reliable SERS method based on Ag@ZIF-8@Au platforms for tracing acetamiprid residues in the environment. In this method, a MOF material named ZIF-8 is coated with silver nanoparticles and distributed internally between AgNPs and AuNPs to enhance Raman signal, which can enrich pesticide molecules into the hotspots area provided by noble material and helps avoid the oxidation of silver nanoparticles. High sensitivity (LOD of 9.027 × 10 -10 M for acetamiprid, and SERS enhancement factor of 4.3 × 10 7 ), excellent reproducibility (6.496% or 7.198% RSD for 30 random points) and superior stability (3.127% RSD for 6 weeks) were achieved using the proposed method. Acetamiprid with concentrations from 10 -4 to 10 -9 M were successfully detected by SERS method. Furthermore, the linear detection models of acetamiprid in different environment matrices (lake water, tea leaves, tea garden soil, oranges and oranges orchard soil) were established and all the correlation coefficient (R 2 ) were higher than or equal to 95%, indicating the excellent adaptability of Ag@ZIF-8@Au platform in environment. The randomly spiked concentrations of acetamiprid were also tested with good recovery values and low relative error values, further confirming the reliability of the detection method.

A novel strategy was developed to build high-performance thin film composite (TFC) total heat exchange membranes (THEMs) by in situ growing ZIF-8 crystalline micro-leaves (ZIF-L) from Polyethyleneimine (PEI) coated on polysulfone (PSF) ultra-filtration substrates. It was found that flexible PEI polymeric chains could tightly cross-link and seal large masses of ZIF-L micro-leaves (ZIF/PEI wt. ratio up to 18.5) to thwart CO 2 permeation, on top of PSF substrate. Such PEI cross-linking could also effectively open up the internal channels of ZIF-L micro-leaves to enhance moisture permeance and latent heat recovery without trading off CO 2 gas barring property. ZIF-L in varied shapes protruded into the air stream could provide ultra-rough surfaces with increased surface area for improved total energy recovery efficiency. Optimized PEI/ZIF-L TFC THEMs showed ultra-low CO 2 permeance of 0.5–8 GPU and ultra-high total heat recovery rates of 68–74%.

A type-III porous liquid based on zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) and an ionic liquid trihexyltetradecylphosphonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([THTDP][BTI]) was synthesized and used for the desulfurization of model diesel. The desulfurization effect by ZIF-8/[THTDP][BTI] combined both the adsorptive desulfurization by ZIF-8 and the extraction desulfurization by [THTDP][BTI]. The removal of the three chosen aromatic organic sulfides by the ZIF-8/[THTDP][BTI] porous liquid followed the order of dibenzothiophene (73.1%) > benzothiophene (70.0%) > thiophene (61.5%). It was further found that deep desulfurization could be realized by ZIF-8/[THTDP][BTI] through triple desulfurization cycles and ZIF-8/[THTDP][BTI] can be regenerated readily. The desulfurization mechanism was explored further in detail by conformation search and density functional theory calculations. Calculations supported that the large molecular volume of [THTDP][BTI] excluded itself from the cavities of ZIF-8, making the pores of ZIF-8 in the porous liquid unoccupied and accessible by other guest species, here the studied organic sulfides. These calculations indicate that the van der Waals interactions were the main interactions between ZIF-8/[THTDP][BTI] and specifically benzothiophene. This work supports that the porous liquid ZIF-8/[THTDP][BTI] could potentially be used for desulfurization of diesel in industry.

A novel 3D ZIF-8 network-reinforced polyethylene oxide (PEO) composite polymer electrolyte (Z-C-PAN-PEO) is successfully built, in which the network with an interpenetrated structure is tactfully developed by in situ assembling ZIF-8 nanoparticles on electrospinning carboxylated polyacrylonitrile (C-PAN) nanofiber surfaces. ZIF-8 with high porosity and unsaturated open metal sites will act as the bridge between C-PAN nanofibers and the PEO matrix. It is proven that the selected ZIF-8 can play a significant role in facilitating Li+ conduction and transference by effectively interacting with the oxygen atoms of C–O–C to promote the segmental movement of PEO and immobilizing TFSI– anions to release more free Li+. The 3D interpenetrating structure of Z-C-PAN further enables the conduction channels more consecutive and long-ranged, endowing the Z-C-PAN-PEO electrolyte with an optimum ionic conductivity of 4.39 × 10–4 S cm–1 and a boosted Li+ transference number of 0.42 at 60 °C. Other improvements occurring in the reinforced electrolytes are the broaden electrochemical stability window of ∼4.9 V and sufficient mechanical strength. Consequently, the stable Li-plating/stripping for 1000 cycles at 0.1 mA cm–1 witnesses the splendid compatibility against Li dendrite. The cycling performance of LiFePO4/Z-C-PAN-PEO/Li cells with a reversible capacity of 116.2 mAh g–1 after 600 cycles at 0.2 C guarantees the long-term running potential in lithium metal batteries. This study puts forward new insights in designing and exploiting the active role of MOFs for high-performance solid polymer electrolytes.

The anodic precious metal catalyst of direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) is poisoned due to CO adsorption, which makes the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) kinetics tardily. In this study, a series of hierarchical core–shell structure catalysts PdZn/ZDC@SiO 2 were synthesized by loading PdZn nanoparticles (NPs) on ZIF-8 derived porous carbon (ZDC) and protecting by the mesoporous silica (SiO 2 ) are reported. A hierarchical core–shell structure informed in PdZn/ZDC@SiO 2(20) caused by mesoporous silica shell leads to well-dispersed and uniform of PdZn NPs (10 nm). Compared with commercial palladium carbon (Pd/C), the optimized catalyst PdZn/ZDC@SiO 2(20) has higher current density (765.2 mA/mg) and stronger CO toxicity tolerance (I f /I b = 3.30). And the onset potential and the peak potential of PdZn/ZDC@SiO 2(20) (−0.294 V, −0.203 V) are more negative in CO stripping experiment. Silica is an inorganic oxide that can provide oxygen-containing species to the adjoining precious metal sites and promote CO oxidation. In addition, PdZn NPs can accelerated electron transport and then improve methanol oxidation performance due to the changing electronic structure of Pd and the modifying the surface adsorption of the catalyst. PdZn/ZDC@SiO 2(20) is a potential substitute material for noble metal catalyst that can be used for direct methanol fuel cells.
