Commercial TiO 2 (P25) is a potentially promising catalyst for photocatalytic CO 2 reduction. Nonetheless, the inefficient light capture ability and egregious charge recombination restrict its further utilization. In this work, CdS and P25 are incorporated to form the composite CdS-P25, which is further immobilized on the surface of a copper-based organic metal framework (MOF), ZIF-67, so as to establish a ternary hybrid CdS-P25/ZIF-67 via a facile hydrothermal method. On the basis of the enhancement in light absorption resulted from the formation of CdS-P25, the incorporation of ZIF-67 further prolongs the light absorption edge of CdS-P25/ZIF-67, up to 552 nm. In addition, the introduction of ZIF-67 with the dual Z-Scheme system constructed could significantly suppress the charge recombination, as revealed by the transient photocurrent value of CdS-P25/ZIF-67, which is 3.47 μA cm −2 , about 20.4 times than that of CdS-P25. Accordingly, the photocatalytic assessment of CdS-P25/ZIF-67 also presents a significantly amelioration in CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR) in comparison with either CdS-P25 or ZIF-67, giving 1.58 μmol h −1 CH 4 and 1.49 μmol h −1 CO production. Our work sheds light on the investigation of efficacious construction of P25 based hybrids for light-driven photocatalysis.

Nickel–cobalt layered double hydroxide (NiCo-LDH) is a promising electrode material for supercapacitors due to its high electrochemical activity. However, it easily restacks and aggregates due to its nanosheet structure, which limits the effective utilization of redox active sites. Herein, the NiCo-LDH nanosheets derived from ZIF-67 were in situ grown on the surface of a basic copper cobalt carbonate (CoCu) urchin-like skeleton and supported by nickel foam (CoCu@NiCo-LDH). The well-designed three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical nanostructure not only effectively prevents the aggregation of NiCo-LDH nanosheets, but also provides a rapid charge transport channel, which facilitates ion diffusion and electron transport, therefore enhancing the utilization of NiCo-LDH redox active sites to a greater extent. Besides, the synergistic interactions between NiCo-LDH nanosheets and CoCu nanoneedles further enrich the redox reactions and increase the electrical conductivity and reaction kinetics of the electrode at the same time. As a result, the CoCu@NiCo-LDH electrode exhibits outstanding electrochemical performance with an ultrahigh mass loading of 14 mg cm−2, including excellent specific capacitance (18.71 F cm−2 or 1346 F g−1 at 3 mA cm−2) and distinguished rate capability of 87.3% from 3 mA cm−2 to 50 mA cm−2. When the CoCu@NiCo-LDH electrode was assembled with active carbon (AC) to form an asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC), the CoCu@NiCo-LDH//AC ASCs display outstanding energy density (1.98 mW h cm−2) and power density (97.5 mW cm−2) with excellent cycling stability (86.0% initial capacitance after 5000 cycles), and could keep an LED light bulb working for 90 min after only charging for 60 s. This work provides an effective strategy for the design and application of layered double hydroxide based pseudocapacitors.

A novel electrochemical sensor modified by aspartic acid polymer and carbonized-ZIF-67 was prepared for arbutin detection. ZIF-67 was synthesized and carbonized, and then used as the substrate supporting of electrochemical sensor. Carbonized-ZIF-67 had a large specific surface and good electrical conductivity, which provided large electroactive area and promoted the electron transfer at the sensing interface. Aspartic acid polymer was prepared by cyclic voltammetry. Aspartic acid polymer could effectively absorb arbutin, resulting in the preconcentration of arbutin on sensor surface. Benefiting from the synergistic effect between carbonized-ZIF-67 and aspartic acid polymer, the prepared electrochemical sensor exhibited sensitive electrochemical response for arbutin. Under the optimum conditions, the electrochemical sensor achieved a wide linear range in the range from 5 to 110 μmol/L and a low detection limit of 0.41 μmol/L for arbutin. In practical application, the electrochemical sensor was employed to detect arbutin in green tea and whitening cream samples, exhibiting satisfactory recovery rates. With the outstanding features of easy operation, rapid response and high sensitivity, the prepared electrochemical sensor provided a convenient and effective tool for arbutin detection.

Core–shell ZIFs wrapped CuO hybrid materials (CuO@ZIF-67(Co)) were designed, synthesized, characterized, and employed as peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activators to degrade methylene blue (MB). It demonstrated outstanding catalytic activity on account of the unique structure and the synergistic effect between CuO cores and ZIF-67(Co) shells, resulting in complete degradation of MB (10 mg/L) in 1 min. Reactive oxygen species (ROSs) research showed that both SO 4 − and OH were responsible for the removal of MB. The synergistic activation mechanisms in the CuO@ZIF-67(Co)/PMS system were investigated, which mainly involved the effective electron transfer of CuO and ZIF-67(Co) for accelerating the cycle of Cu II /Cu I and Co III /Co II . This study broadens the application of MOF-derived materials for wastewater treatment.

Laser induced high temperature pulse (HTP) generation has been widely used in some high-immediacy applications requiring dramatic temperature changes. Recent years researchers put interest in light-to-heat (include photothermal, light induced exothermic reaction and combination of both) materials to reduce the initiating energy of the laser ignition. However, the laser energy for realizing sufficient light-to-heat conversion is still high. MXene exhibits excellent light absorption, high light-to-heat conversion efficiency and has abundant metastable atoms which trend to undergo exothermic chemical reactions, but its incomplete oxidation affects its total heat release when the laser power is relatively high. Herein, we have prepared a ZIF-67/Ti 3 C 2 MXene intercalated membrane. It is found that porous ZIF-67 exhibits a synergistic effect on MXene and can significantly improve its physical/chemical coupled HTP by enhancing its light absorption and subsequent energy release during its oxidation. ε 2,4,6,8,10,12-(hexanitrohexaaza) cyclododecane (ε-CL-20) laser ignition experiments prove that ZIF-67/Ti 3 C 2 MXene intercalated membrane exhibits better ignition performance than pure MXene membrane by reducing both ignition threshold (151.2 mJ) and ignition delay (21 ms) at a low laser power intensity (59.7 W/cm 2 ). This work can provide an insight for the structural design of new light-to-heat membranes.

The separator is a key component of the lithium-ion battery (LIB), which not only prevents the anode and the cathode from contacting, but is also related to the performance of the LIB. However, the widely used polyolefin separator has the disadvantages of inferior electrolyte retention capability and poor electrolyte wettability. Therefore, the development of high-performance separators for LIB has attracted widespread attention. In order to enhance the electrolyte retention capacity of the separator, the bacterial cellulose (BC)/zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) composite separator was prepared by introducing ZIF-67 on the BC nanofibers. It was found that the introduction of ZIF-67 in BC membrane significantly improved the pore structure and enhanced the electrolyte retention capability, thus contributing to the transfer of lithium-ion, increasing the ionic conductivity (0.837 mS cm −1 ). In terms of ionic conductivity, BC/ZIF-67 separator has achieved a great improvement compared to polypropylene (PP) separator (0.096 mS cm −1 ). Besides, the prepared BC/ZIF-67 composite separators hardly shrink at high temperatures. The discharge capacity retention of the LIB using BC/ZIF-67 separator was 91.41% after 100 cycles (0.2 C). Meanwhile, LIB with BC/ZIF-67 separator showed a large discharge capacity (156 mAh g −1 ) and improved rate performance. Therefore, the BC/ZIF-67 composite membrane has good development potential in the direction of LIB separator. Graphic abstract

Due to the wide variety of pollutants in wastewater, therefore, how to efficiently and effectively remove mixed pollutants is of great importance for environmental remediation. In this study, ZIF-67 hollow prisms self-assembled by nanoparticles were prepared. The nanoparticles possess a regular distributed pore structure, which mixed with the self-assembled hierarchical structure can provide more binding sites. This special self-assembly structure endows ZIF-67 hollow prisms to have a large specific surface area (1221 m 2 /g), and to exhibit excellent efficiency in removing a variety of pharmaceuticals. For simultaneous removal of ciprofloxacin and Pb(II) mixed pollutants, the adsorption process of Pb(II) is ultra-fast (<2 min), and the average amount removed efficiently was 100 %. The maximum adsorption capacities of ciprofloxacin (CIP) and Pb(II) were 1586.14 and 2488.14 mg g −1 , respectively. The XPS results indicated that Pb(II) may be mixed with Co-OH to form Co-O-Pb during the adsorption process. As well, metal ions are easily complexed with antibiotics, which makes the adsorption performance of CIP and Pb remarkable. This study explored the adsorption capacity by porous materials with self-assembled structures, and provided a novel strategy for the efficient removal of antibiotic/heavy metal complex pollutants from the environment.

Hydrogen energy is vital important for solving pollution of environment and energy shortage. Hydrogen production via solar energy and semiconductor photo-splitting water is one of the most environmentally friendly strategies at present. In this work, Co-N-C, a non-noble metal-based ZIF-67 derivative, was employed as a co-catalyst to achieve an in situ growth of spherical CdS via simple one-step hydrothermal. Due to the large specific surface area of Co-N-C, the agglomeration of CdS is avoided and the photocorrosion phenomenon is weakened. Under irradiation of visible light , the hydrogen generation activity of Co-N-C/CdS was achieved 905 μmol g −1 h −1 . It is 6 times that of pure CdS with excellent stability. At the contact interface of the Co-N-C and CdS, the transfer and the separation of photoinduced carriers had been enhanced by a great many of channels. DFT calculation further showed that Co nanoclusters , as the active sites of hydrogen production, significantly enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity. Therefore, Co-N-C not only acts as electron acceptor , but also serves as support of highly dispersed CdS to promote the stability of system during photocatalytic hydrogen generation. This work demonstrates the advantages of CdS binding MOF derivatives to construct composite photocatalysts with enhanced dispersibility and hydrogen production activity.

The slow kinetic of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) hampers the practical application of energy conversion devices, such as fuel cells, metal-air batteries. Here, an efficient ORR electrocatalyst consists of Co, Ni co-decorated nitrogen-doped double shell hollow carbon cage (Ni–Co@NHC) was fabricated by pyrolyzing Ni-doped polydopamine wrapped ZIF-67. During the preparation, polydopamine served as a protective layer can effectively prevent the aggregation of Co and Ni nanoparticles during the pyrolysis process, and at the same time forming a carbon layer to grow a double layer carbon cage. This unique hollow structure endows the catalyst with a high specific surface area as well as more exposed active sites. Also benefited from the synergistic effect between Ni and Co nanoparticles, the Ni–Co@NHC catalyst leads to an outstanding ORR performance of half-wave potential (E1/2, 0.862 V), outperforms that of commercial Pt/C catalyst. Additionally, when Ni–Co@NHC was used in the cathode for the zinc-air battery, the cell exhibits high power density (108 mW cm−2) and high specific capacity (806 mAh g−1) at 20 mA cm−2 outperforming Pt/C. This work offers a promising design strategy for the development of high-performance ORR electrocatalysts.

Abstract It is still a significant challenge to replace noble metal based catalysts by non-noble metal-based, highly efficient and earth-abundant catalysts in the H 2 generation upon hydrolysis of sodium borohydride. Herein, we first design and synthesize the highly selective and heterogeneous Co x W y nanocomposites from ZIF-67 as robust catalysts for H 2 production upon the hydrolysis of sodium borohydride. Among them, the Co 0.45 W 0.55 nanocatalyst exhibits the highest TOF of 1770 mL H2 g cat −1 min −1 (the TOF related to only cobalt nanoparticles 8401 mL H2 g Co −1 min −1 ) over pure ZIF-67 or W nanoparticles and other ones. In addition, the Co 0.45 W 0.55 catalyst has been successfully recycled at least 5 times without any significant activity loss, although the W (VI) has been partly reduced to W (V), W (IV) and W (0) in the hydrolysis of sodium borohydride. This stability is taken into account by the highly active Co species rather than the activity of W itself. Based on the results obtained, we have shown that Co 0.45 W 0.55 nanocomposite can be a potential candidate for the replacement of a noble metal catalyst for H 2 generation. Graphic Abstract

Thanks to the unique structure and properties of MOFs, a well-designed novel hollow ZnO/Mn-ZIF-67 composite photocatalyst was synthesized by a facile sonocrystallization approach successfully. The hollow ZnO/Mn-ZIF-67 composites exhibited higher photocatalytic activity in degrading Bismarck brown R than pure hollow ZnO spheres and Mn-ZIF-67. The optimal ZnO/Mn0.5-ZIF-67 showed the highest catalytic activity with 89.5% Bismarck brown R removal within 100 min. The improved photocatalytic activity of the composites could be mainly attributed to effective photogenerated charge separation and transfer through the coupled Z-scheme heterojunction between hollow ZnO spheres and Mn-ZIF-67. The composite photocatalyst exhibited obviously good stability and recyclability after recycling 4 times. Finally, a possible Z-scheme electron transfer mechanism was proposed based on the active radical trapping experiments and ESR which could explain the improved photocatalytic performance of the photocatalytic system. This work provides a promising approach to construct a direct Z-scheme heterojunction for the degradation of environmental pollutants.

The extracellular domain of the human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2-ECD) is a breast cancer biomarker. Accurate and sensitive detection of HER2-ECD concentration in serum is crucial in the diagnosis and patient follow-up. Herein, an “off–on” type electrochemiluminescence (ECL) aptasensor based on the resonance energy transfer (RET) between AuPt@ZIF-67 and AuNPs/g-C3N4/PDDA was developed for detecting HER2-ECD. First, AuNP-modified g-C3N4 (AuNPs/g-C3N4/PDDA), as a signal substrate, generates ECL signals under the co-reactant peroxodisulfate (S2O82–) in a specific potential range and shows significantly enhanced signal strength and stability. Then, AuPt@ZIF-67 expeditiously quenched the ECL signal of AuNPs/g-C3N4/PDDA because of ECL resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET) between AuPt@ZIF-67 and AuNPs/g-C3N4/PDDA. We designed a new aptasensor detection platform for HER2-ECD detection. After specific binding of the aptamer with HER2-ECD, the AuPt@ZIF-67 content in the system decreased, and the ECL response recovered. The biosensor demonstrated a linear range of HER2-ECD detection between 100 fg/mL and 100 ng/mL under ideal circumstances, with a low detection limit of 17.3 fg/mL. Furthermore, this biosensor was successfully tested in human serum samples. This strategy, as a novel ECL system with satisfactory stability and excellent sensitivity, can realize the detection of other biological molecules by changing the probe, which is a promising method.
