The purification of oxygenated volatile organic compounds VOCs (OVOCs), important precursors of ozone and particulate matters, has triggered intensive research interests. UiO-66 with high photocatalytic activity have shown great potential. However, the lack of active sites severely limited the trapping and degradation of OVOCs. Herein, reo-UiO-66 with increased specific surface area, hierarchical porous structure and tunable acidic/basic sites was synthesized by simply adding water as the modulator. XRD, TGA and FTIR results confirmed the formation of reo-defects, which significantly affected the surface hydrophilicity and active sites of UiO-66. The adsorption of Lewis acidic acetaldehyde was enhanced by 265 times with coordinative unsaturated Zr acting as the dominant adsorption sites. The degradation efficiency of typical OVOCs (acetaldehyde and acetone) increased from 0% and 25% to 50% and 73%, respectively. This work provided a facile method to modulate the micro-environment in MOFs for the efficient capture and catalytic purification of OVOCs.

Hydrophilic UiO-66 crystals with superior water adsorption ability were synthesized and incorporated into the polyimide (PI) membrane for efficient aprotic solvent separation via pervaporation. The effect of the different UiO-66 addition in the pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA)-2, 2-bis[4-(4-amlnophenoxy)phenyl]propane (BAPP)-based PI membrane on the membrane structure, thermal stability, surface hydrophilicity, solvent-resistant, and pervaporation performance was systematically studied. The UiO-66/PI hybrid membranes with small amount content (2 wt%) exhibited high hydrophilicity and excellent swelling resistance due to the superb dispersion benefiting from the excellent complexation of UiO-66 and PI chain. The effects of operational variables such as operating temperature and concentration of feed solution on the pervaporation separation performance of the hybrid membranes with different UiO-66 loadings were investigated. When the mass fraction of UiO-66 was 2 wt%, the hybrid membranes show the permeation flux of 109.7 and 57.1 g/(m 2 h) and separation factor of 34.1 and 133.9, respectively, for DMF/H 2 O and DMAc/H 2 O systems.

Numerous applications require low humidity sensors that not only sensitive but also stable, small hysteresis, high resolution and fast response. However, most reported low humidity sensors cannot possess these properties at the same time. In this work, inspired by sea urchin , we developed an ionic liquid (IL) modified metal organic framework (UiO-66) based low humidity sensor. Owing to the synergistic effect of the hydrophilicity and ionic conductivity of IL and the steric hindrance effects of UiO-66, the optimized low humidity sensor simultaneously exhibits high response (47.5), small hysteresis (0.3 % RH), ultrafast response speed (0.2 s), high resolution (1 % RH), and excellent long-term stability (>120 days). In particular, the sensor has been proved to have potential applications in visual humidity detection and water source location. This work provides a preliminary design principle that will contribute to the preparation of high-performance low humidity sensing materials.

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are used as novel adsorption materials owing to their large surface area and tunable pore size. However, the lack of selectivity considerably limits their application. Consequently, designing functionalized MOFs with specific recognition abilities is essential for enhancing their adsorption performance. Herein, we synthesized a functionalized NH 2 -UiO-66 composite modified by molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP@NH 2 -UiO-66) via a one-step polymerization process in which NH 2 -UiO-66 and MIP were formed simultaneously. Results demonstrate that MIP@NH 2 -UiO-66 effectively recognized sulfamethoxazole (SMX) in complex matrices. The adsorption equilibrium was reached in only 30 min, and this fast SMX adsorption on MIP@NH 2 -UiO-66 was described by the Avrami kinetic model, which indicates a spontaneous and exothermic adsorption process. Within the pH range of 3.0–10.0, MIP@NH 2 -UiO-66 exhibited an optimal binding capacity for SMX, and the maximum adsorption of SMX was 68.36 mg g −1 at 25°C, which exceeded those of existing adsorption materials (< 60.10 mg g −1 ). Additionally, MIP@NH 2 -UiO-66 was regenerated for ∼17 cycles compared to less than eight cycles for the other adsorbents. MIP@NH 2 -UiO-66 effectively removed 90.58%–99.60% of SMX from river water, rainwater, soil, sediment, chicken, pork, and milk samples, with a relative standard deviation of less than 4.43%. The superior adsorption of SMX on MIP@NH 2 -UiO-66 was primarily driven by the synergistic effects of the imprinting sites, hydrogen bonding, and electrostatic forces. The one-step polymerization method substantially simplified the synthesis process and reduced the costs, which are promising factors for the synthesis of MOFs with high selectivity.

The increasing deterioration of ecosystem derived from heavy metals residues brings about the environmental and food contamination , which presses the exploration of facile platform for monitoring heavy metals. Herein, a ratiometric fluorescence sensor was designed for Hg 2+ detection based on the compound of UiO-66-NH 2 and Ru(bpy) 3 2+ (Ru@UiO-66-NH 2 ) which was synthesized by situ encapsulation. The innovative composite displayed two emission peaks at 437 and 604 nm, and the addition of Hg 2+ could only quench the blue fluorescence due to static quenching and photo-induced electron transfer mechanism, providing an internal standard to promote the precision. Under optimal conditions, the ratiometric Ru@UiO-66-NH 2 probe revealed outstanding anti-interference capability and performed with a great limit of detection (LOD) of 0.053 μM for Hg 2+ , which was 2-fold lower than that of single-color UiO-66-NH 2 . By merit of Ru@UiO-66-NH 2 , test hydrogels were fabricated to provide a tactics for visual, rapid and on-site detection of Hg 2+ . Additionally, the dual-emitting sensing platform presented satisfactory recoveries and reliabilities in lake water, tap water , and drink water, demonstrating the application potential of this proposed ratiometric fluorescence sensor for monitoring Hg 2+ .

MOFs-filled mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) have great potential to break the trade-off effects of traditional gas separation membranes. However, achieving good interfacial compatibility and adequate dispersion of the MOF is not straightforward. In this study, a continuous postmodification was developed for advanced CO2/N2 MMMs. UiO-66-NH2 was easily modified with trimesoyl chloride (UiO-66-TMC) and polyethylene glycol (UiO-66-PEG) sequentially, which was utilized as fillers to construct polyimide (PI) mixed matrix membranes (MMMs). Rich interactions between modified UiO-66-NH2 and the PI polymer contribute to efficient CO2 and N2 separation. At 25 °C and 0.1 MPa, UiO-66-TMC/PI MMMs showed a CO2/N2 selectivity of 55.3, and a CO2 permeability of 616.17 Barrer, and those are 56.7 and 686 Barrer for UiO-66-PEG200/PI MMMs. Both of their CO2/N2 separation performances exceed the 2008 Robeson upper bound. The ether bonds in PEG exhibit strong interactions with the CO2 molecules and improve the CO2 dissolution selectivity. Meanwhile, the introduction of organic ingredients realized good dispersion and interfacial compatibility within the PI matrix. This work lays the groundwork for the further fabrication of highly selective CO2 separation materials with specific microscopic interface structures and properties.

Despite the remarkable development in conductive polymer-based NH 3 sensors, there are still several obstacles such as long response/recovery time and difficulty in detecting low concentrations of NH 3 . In this work, polyaniline (PANI) was modified using a metal-organic framework (MOF) UiO-66 to construct a microchannel tube NH 3 sensor. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) characterizations disclose that the addition of UiO-66 could induce formation of a highly porous nanofiber PANI film. The sensor can realize the gas response up to 2540% for 100 ppm NH 3 , and 20% response to 10 ppb NH 3 with excellent reversibility and response/recovery time (25 s/14 s). The improved sensing performance is ascribed to the high specific surface area of the PANI/UiO-66 film. Furthermore, the sensor has a microchannel tube structure which can realize fast and effective on-time detection of small-volume NH 3 gas. The as-fabricated sensor could be a potential candidate in practical medical monitoring applications.

Novel visible-light-induced UiO-66/BiOI photocatalysts with a p–n junction structure have been prepared for the first time through a facile hydrothermal method. The prepared photocatalysts were characterized using the powder X-ray diffraction, high resolution transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, UV–visible diffuse reflectance spectra, and N 2 adsorption–desorption (Brunauer–Emmett–Teller) techniques respectively. The photodegradation performances of UiO-66/BiOI photocatalysts were evaluated by photodegrading salicylic acid under visible-light irradiation. The UiO-66/BiOI composites displayed much higher photocatalytic efficiencies than pure BiOI under visible light. When the content of UiO-66 was 5.2 wt%, the composite (UiO-66/BiOI-2) has the best photocatalytic activity. Most of the salicylic acid molecules can be degraded in 100 min. The degradation rate of UiO-66/BiOI-2 samples is higher than single BiOI and UiO-66. The enhanced photocatalytic performance of UiO-66/BiOI may be ascribed to the formation of p–n heterojunctions between BiOI and UiO-66, which facilitates the transfer and separation of the photogenerated charge carriers. After recycling of the photocatalyst for five times for the photodegradation of salicylic acid, more than 85% of salicylic acid could still be degraded in the fifth cycle, implying that the as-prepared photocatalysts are highly stable.

With growing concerns about antibiotic contamination in water environments, developing efficient photocatalysts for tetracycline (TC) degradation has become imperative. In this study, a novel nanoflower-like BiOI/UiO-66(Ce/Fe) S-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst was developed for efficient TC degradation under visible light. Experimental evaluations revealed that the optimized 0.05-Bi/U(Ce/Fe) sample achieved 99.5 % TC degradation efficiency, maintaining 88.8 % of its initial activity after four consecutive cycles. The superior photocatalytic activity arises from three synergistic mechanisms: Fe 3+ doping modulates the band structure to broaden visible-light absorption, while the synergistic effect of Ce 4+ /Ce 3+ and Fe 3+ /Fe 2+ redox pairs optimizes charge transport. The internal electric field at the BiOI/UiO-66(Ce/Fe) heterojunction enhances charge separation while maximizing the redox capacity of the photocatalyst. Radical capture experiments and LC-MS analysis confirmed ·O 2 − and ·OH as the dominant reactive radicals, with proposed possible degradation pathways. Thus, a new synergistic strategy for designing efficient photocatalysts is proposed in this work.

Photocatalysts TiO 2 @UiO-66-(OH) 2 was successfully synthesized via an impregnation method for removal of formaldehyde under high pressure mercury lamp irradiation, and the photocatalysts were characterized by using a variety of analytical techniques. The characterized results indicated that TiO 2 was attached to the surface of UiO-66-(OH) 2 , and there was a strong electronic interaction between the elements of TiO 2 and UiO-66-(OH) 2 in the composite. The synergistic combination of high adsorption capacity of UiO-66-(OH) 2 , high dispersion of TiO 2 and efficient interfacial charge transfer between UiO-66-(OH) 2 and TiO 2 have a significant impact on the enhanced photocatalytic performance for formaldehyde removal. And the hydroxyl radicals (⋅OH) and superoxide radicals (⋅O 2 − ) also play a major role in removal of formaldehyde. The formaldehyde removal rate of 20TiO 2 @UO (1 g 0.15 m 3 ) is 83.01 % within 5.5 h, if the removal time is extended to 24 h, the formaldehyde removal rate can reach 91.49 %, and the continuous photocatalytic reaction showed that the composite is a highly stable catalyst. This could provide a useful method for highly efficient formaldehyde in indoor air purification.

Salinity gradient energy (SGE) harvesting from water has long been sought as a clean energy source. Commercial ion exchange membranes often face high energy barriers, inadequate ion transport ability, and chemical instability, thus displaying low power outputs. In this study, a series of continuous, flexible, zirconium-based metal–organic frameworks (Zr-MOFs) were synthesized on reduced graphene oxide membranes via electrochemical synthesis for highly efficient SGE harvesting are developed. The well-defined nanoscale channels and functional groups act as ionic filters and conductors, enhancing the ion selectivity for highly efficient SGE harvesting. Notably, the SO 3 H-UiO-66 membrane achieved a power density of 57.5 W/m −2 in neutral solution under a 1000-fold KCl concentration gradient, with a high K + transference number of 0.92, outperforming most reported membranes. Furthermore, the SO 3 H-UiO-66 membrane demonstrates a high output power density of 16.2 W/m −2 when tested with real seawater (Huang Hai) and domestic water, and is also effective in harvesting energy from wastewater, achieving a power density of 17.3 W/m −2 . This study opens new avenues for fabricating continuous Zr-MOF membranes as a platform for utilizing seawater and wastewater sources in SGE harvesting.

In this research, the modified upconversion nanocrystals NaYF 4 :Yb,Er were adopted as the precursors for the synthesis of the NaYF 4 :Yb,Er@UiO-66 composite. The XRD, XPS and TEM characterizations indicated that the composite has good crystallinity and uniform morphology. Under 980 nm excitation, the NaYF 4 :Yb,Er@UiO-66 composite exhibits bright upconversion emission that characterized of Er 3+ : 2 H 11/2 → 4 I 15/2 , 4 S 3/2 → 4 I 15/2 , and 4 F 9/2 → 4 I 15/2 radiative transitions. After modified with BPEI (branched polyethyleneimine), the NaYF 4 :Yb,Er@UiO-66/BPEI fluorescence probe was constructed and was used for the detection of Cu 2+ . The results revealed that the integrated emission intensity of Er 3+ displayed a linear relationship with the concentration of Cu 2+ within the range of 5 to 45 μM with a LOD of 0.9615 μM. This study offered a feasible method for constructing UCNC@UiO-66 composites with regular morphology,which may have a potential application as fluorescent probes for the detection of various metal ions by adjusting the doping luminescent center.
