α-Ketoglutaric acid (α-KA) is an important endogenous metabolite in the Krebs cycle and considered a critical marker for various diseases. Several approaches for identifying α-KA have been reported. However, most of them are limited to single-signal transduction modes in one assay and working in the suspension state, which easily cause quantification errors and lead to false-positive detection results. Herein, a multivalue-responsive and semi-solid EuMOF-gel (EuMOG) logic biosensor is first designed and fabricated, which can realize the specific, rapid, and easy-to-differentiate naked-eye detection of the disease-associated marker of α-KA in serum through implementing one-to-two logic operation with three multicolor gates. The implementation of one-to-two logic operation can be rationally achieved by assembling 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid as both the energy donor and blue-colored output 1, photoactive Eu3+ ions as the red-emissive output 2, and α-KA stimuli as an input and energy blocker between the dual spectrum-resolved outputs into one unit. With the specific input of α-KA among various analytes, the binary code of the logic decoder switches from (0,1) to (1,0) with an obvious color change from red to cyan. Moreover, by integrating the output chromaticity into the logical operations, the concentration levels of α-KA could be easily evaluated with the intelligent EuMOG detector, which has three multicolor gates in parallel encoding low (0,1), normal (1,1), and danger (1,0) statuses. Such multivalued logic biosensor provides a facile strategy to improve the analysis reliability of disease-associated biomarkers.

In this study, a biodegradable multifunctional photothermal drug delivery nanoparticles (MPH NPs) using curcumin (Cur) as the ligand coated with hyaluronic acid (HA) was successfully prepared, which could simultaneously deliver Cur and doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX·HCl) to overcome the common drug resistance in cancer cells. Polydopamine (PDA) as a protective shell prevents premature degradation of Cur in physiological environment and enables it to play effective medicinal value. MPH NPs can specifically recognize CD44 receptors on the surface of cancer cells for tumor targeting, with the damage of the partially released DOX to the superficial tumor cells, and then the positively charged Cur released may gradually penetrate into the cells through electron interaction to improve the problem of low permeability. In vitro cell experiments showed that hydrophobic/hydrophilic drugs co-loaded MPDH (MPH loaded with DOX·HCl) could enter the cancer cells through the endocytosis mediated by clathrin / caveolin, and the inhibition rate of MPDH on HeLa cells reached 79.28 % irradiation under 808 nm laser. MPH were composed of safe materials that have been proven to be biodegradable in human body, which avoided the disadvantages that NPs were difficult to discharge and caused damage to normal organs during long-term use.

A composite luminescent material consisting of perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) and MOF-5 using an in-situ growth method. The preparation of MOF-5 as a growth template was achieved via hydrothermal synthesis, with the addition of CTAB/TMB as a stencil agent to facilitate the formation of pores with an appropriate size. Subsequently, CsPbBr 3 QDs were grown in situ on the MOF under mechanical grinding conditions. The prepared CsPbBr 3 @MOF-5 composite materials were characterized by various analytical techniques including BET, XRD, PL, TEM, SEM, and EDS. The results revealed that the average size of PQDs was only 4.9 nm, and the corresponding emission peak exhibited a blue shift of 11 nm. The photoluminescence intensity (PL) of CsPbBr 3 @MOF-5 was increased by 71% compared to the unmodified sample, and photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of solid powder increased to 48%. This is due to the fact that MOF-5 reduces the surface defects of quantum dots. Additionally, the Significantly improved PQDs stability after compounding MOF, both at room temperature and under thermal stress. These findings highlight the potential of this synthetic strategy as a means of preparing ultra-small composite light-emitting materials, with promising applications in LED and optoelectronic devices.

Abnormal tryptophan (Trp) metabolism can be used as an important indicator of chronic hepatitis, paranoia, Parkinson’s disease and other diseases. Deficiency or excessive accumulation of Cu 2+ can cause diseases such as Wilson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease. Eu-based metal-organic framework (Eu-MOF) was successfully prepared for fluorescence sensing of Trp and Cu 2+ in an aqueous solution (pH = 7.4). Eu-MOF showed high selectivity and sensitivity for Trp and Cu 2+ with detection limits of 0.22 µM and 0.09 µM and K sv of 6.17 × 103 M − 1 and 2.37 × 10 4 M − 1 respectively. Trp and Cu2+ had overlapped UV absorption spectra with that of Eu-MOF and competed for the excitation light source. Trp also attenuated the antennae effect of organic ligands on Eu-MOF, thus quenching the red fluorescence of Eu-MOF. This study provides insights into the application of MOFs in bioanalysis and diagnostics.

The green and facile strategy of producing high efficiency microwave absorption materials (MAMs) has attracted wide attention, but remains a challenge. In this work, polydopamine (PDA) was used as carbon source and nitrogen source, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) was used as protective layer and dispersant, and nanoparticles with concave cube morphology were prepared by self-template eco-friendly method. By adjusting the addition amount of PDA and PVP, the MOF derived materials with three morphologies of pure ZIF-67 nanoparticles , core-shell adhesion cube and concave cube can be precisely controlled. Compared with the other two kinds of absorbers, the sample with concave cube morphology shows excellent electromagnetic wave absorption (EMA) performance. Furthermore, the excellent EMA performance comes from the efficient electron transport channel with unique concave cube morphology, multi-interface polarization process and Co nanoparticles high impedance matching. The analysis demonstrates that when the filling ratio of the concave cube sample is 15%, its effective absorption bandwidth is 5.97 GHz, which can basically cover the Ku band (12.0–18.0 GHz), and the corresponding thickness is 1.88 mm. Our research provides a meritorious approach for the design and preparation of high efficiency MAMs by considering the effects of the morphology and filling ratio of the absorber comprehensively.

During recent years, increasing demand of new, clean, and renewable energy resources has stimulated wide study on exploitation of non-platinum-group cathode catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Here, a series of nitrogen-doped carbon coated Co nanoparticle supported on reduced graphene oxide (Co@NC/RGO) were prepared by growth of ZIF-67 on GO with subsequent carbonation. The influence of incorporating dose of GO on the catalyst structure and activity was studied. The phase structure, morphology, element distribution, element composition, specific surface area, and pore-size distribution were characterized by various characterization techniques. The highest catalytic performance is achieved when the adding proportion of GO is 2.6% with the onset potential of 0.96 V and half-wave potential of 0.82 V. The introduction of RGO not only improves the electronic conductivity but also accelerates charge transfer. The special porous structure makes it have high specific surface area (313.7 m 2 g −1 ) and large pore size (12.6 nm). The contents of pyridinic-N (53.4%) and graphitic-N (19.3%) in Co@NC/RGO-2.6 are higher than those in Co@NC (50.2% and 10.3%). Co@NC/RGO-2.6 exhibits much higher durability than commercial Pt/C. The ORR mechanism on the home-made catalyst is similar to that on Pt/C.

Metal-organic framework (MOF) materials have exhibited a wide range of application as heterogeneous catalyst or catalyst precursor. However, the catalytic activity of many micro-sized or big block MOFs usually was limited by mass transfer resistance and low percentage of exposed active site. Herein, we report a novel strategy to prepare high-efficiency non-noble metal nanocatalysts via the exfoliation of stromatolithic MOF crystal combined subsequent carbonization process. First, micro-sized Cu- or Zn-containing MOF (Cu- or Zn-MOF) was synthesized by the coordination bonds between metal ion precursor and organic ligand. Subsequently, an exfoliated process was carried out to harvest MOFs nanosheets by H 3 PO 4 molecules selective diffusion and etching between the MOFs crystal layer. Cu or Zn nanoparticles embedded by porous carbon (Cu@C or Zn@C) was finally obtained by the carbonization of Cu-MOF or Zn-MOF nanosheets in N 2 atmosphere, respectively. Cu@C and Zn@C nanosheets showed excellent catalytic activity and reusability toward the reduction of 4-nitrophenol and organic dyes. Such enhanced performance could be attributed to the high specific surface area, good dispersibility, fully exposed active sites, and the synergistic effect of metal NPs and carbon. The strategy presented herein can give MOFs great potential for application in the treatment of environmental wastewater.

BACKGROUND 4-Nitrophenol, as a representative hazardous contaminant, may pose potential risks to the environment in the process of production, storage, and use. Catalytic hydrogenation reduction offers a promising route to the removal of 4-nitrophenol by its transformation into the less toxic and biodegradable 4-aminophenol. In this work, nickel−cobalt bimetal oxide nanostructures were fabricated by the thermal decomposition of metal organic frameworks and cooperatively utilized for the catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol. RESULTS The as-fabricated oxide catalysts were characterized and analyzed with several physicochemical measurements, including X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol was conducted in the presence of the as-prepared oxide nanostructures with varying Ni/Co ratios to evaluate their catalytic activity. The optimal catalyst (Ni–Co–O) delivered the activity parameter of k’ app = 12.0 min −1 mg −1 , which was higher than either NiO (2.4 min −1 mg −1 ) or Co 3 O 4 (3.6 min −1 mg −1 ). Moreover, the induction time of the 4-nitrophenol reduction was significantly reduced by using the bimetal oxide catalyst. Based on the surface and electrochemistry analyses, the enhancement of catalytic activity for the Ni–Co bimetal oxide nanostructures was discussed. CONCLUSION The above results indicated that the cooperation of nickel with cobalt into bimetal oxide nanostructures exhibited an enhanced catalytic activity, which not only promoted the conversion rate of 4-nitrophenol, but also shortened the reduction induction period.

A series of CeO2–MnOXcatalysts with different Ce contents was prepared using Mn–BTC MOF as a sacrificial template for toluene oxidation. Interestingly, the performance of CeO2–MnOXincreased rapidly only when the Ce content lower than 5%. The 1%-, 3%- and 10%-Ce-content samples exhibited the T90value of 325 °C, 291 °C and 277 °C, respectively. XRD shows that the catalyst phase changes significantly before (Mn3O4only) and after (Mn2O3, Mn3O4and CeO2) 3% Ce loading. All other results indicated that the Ce–Mn interface properties of different Ce content composite oxides was quite distinguishable in terms of removal and energy efficiency. XRD and XPS results further showed that there a Ce monolayer dispersion threshold existed on the interface of MnOX(3.2 wt%, confirmed by XPS), which caused the difference in performance increment. The dispersed Ce could be divided into a monolayer dispersion state (1–3%) and a crystalline phase state (>3%), according to the existence form, which corresponded to the significant and minor enhancements of toluene conversion rate. Importantly, the Ce in monolayer dispersion state obviously improved the redox properties of catalysts interface, while the Ce in crystal state not. The interfaces with monolayer dispersion Ce result in more abundant metal ion states, oxygen vacancies, better electron transfer performance and catalytic activity.

Fabrication of porous micro/nanostructures with high electronic conductivity is very efficient for enhancing the electrochemical performance of transition metal oxide-based anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. Here, we successfully propose Zn2SnO4 composites functionalized using biomass-derived carbon and metal–organic framework derived MnO/C. The fabricated LC@Zn2SnO4@MnO/C composite exhibits superior electrochemical performance with a reversible capacity of 1185.6 mA h g−1 at 200 mA g−1 and maintains 552 mA h g−1 even at 2 A g−1 for 150 cycles. The significantly improved performance suggests that the unique structure constructed by MOF-derived oxide decoration and dual-carbon coating can efficiently enhance the material integrity and facilitate charge transfer upon repeated (de)lithiation processes, demonstrating a general strategy for the preparation of mixed-metal-oxide nanostructures for batteries with improved electrochemical performance.

With the merits of high safety and energy density, all-solid-state zinc–air batteries possess potential applications in flexible and wearable electronic devices. Especially, the air cathodes with bifunctional catalytic activity, i.e. oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) have been received enormous attention. In this work, we provide a novel phosphorus/nitrogen co-doped and bimetallic metal–organic framework (MOF)-derived cathode configurated with phosphorus-doped bimetallic FeNi alloys and a nitrogen-doped porous carbon layer loaded on graphene (P–FeNi/NC@G). The P–FeNi/NC@G electrode exhibits a superior OER activity with an overpotential of 310 mV at 10 mA cm−2 and an ORR performance with a half-wave potential of 0.81 V. With P–FeNi/NC@G as the air cathode, the integrated all-solid-state rechargeable zinc–air battery presents a high open-circuit voltage of 1.53 V, a high peak power density of 159 mW cm−2, a small charge–discharge voltage gap of 0.73 V at 5 mA cm−2, as well as excellent long-term stability up to 144 cycles. This work not only expands the air cathode materials database but also develops a new co-doped synthesis method that can be utilized to fabricate a cathode with promoted catalytic efficiency, resulting in improved performance for an all-solid-state zinc–air battery.

Biofuels separation using membranes becomes one of the research focuses in the field of renewable energy. In this study, a series of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) with defect-free active layer around 1 µm thickness were elaborately prepared through interfacial synthesis for ethanol permselective pervaporation . Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) was employed as polymer matrix , which adjusted the nucleation of MOF precursors to in situ generate ZIF-8 nanoparticles . Within the active layer, the resultant ZIF-8 nanoparticles provided the preferential pathways for ethanol due to their ultrahigh adsorption capacity and super-hydrophobicity. Moderate aggregation could form the relatively continuous diffusion pathways. This approach rendered the uniform dispersion of ZIF-8 nanoparticles within PDMS matrix and their excellent compatibility. The ZIF-8 nanoparticles endowed the membranes with enhanced ethanol affinity, hydrophobic property, and thermal stability. More importantly, the ZIF-8 nanoparticles substantially reduced the permeation energy barriers of the membrane for penetrants. The membranes displayed the simultaneous increase in permeation flux and separation factor when utilized for ethanol recovery from aqueous solution, revealing the desirable anti-tradeoff effect. Particularly, the resultant membrane exhibited a superior pervaporation performance with relatively high permeation flux (1778 g · m -2 · h -1 ) and comparable separation factor (12.1) in separating 5.0 wt% ethanol aqueous solution at 40 °C.
