Enhancing the storage capacity of hydrogen on MOFs and making it suitable for the marine environment are crucial to its onboard application as a hydrogen storage medium. Development of the storage medium was based on the density of hydrogen contained within the storage system equipped on a typical fuel cell powered ship. The researches conducted include density functional theory (DFT) calculations and experiments, which were directed to evaluate the effect of incorporating graphene oxide (GO) on enhancing the storage performance of hydrogen on ZIF-8. DFT calculations were performed to determine adsorption energies between the GO@ZIF-8 composites and hydrogen molecules, the reduced density gradient (RDG) scatter plot and isosurface map analysis were then employed to define the interaction mechanism between the GO and ZIF-8 as well as the GO@ZIF-8 composites and hydrogen molecules. Precipitation was employed at ambient temperature to synthesize the ZIF-8 sample and GO@ZIF-8 composites, which were performed the tests further for analyzing adsorption equilibrium as well as the performances of cycling and hydro-stability. Results show that the interaction between the GO and ZIF-8 as well as the GO@ZIF-8 composites and hydrogen molecules can be ascribed to the van der Waals force, and the interaction can be enhanced by incorporating a suitable amount of GO. Within the range 0–8 wt% amount of GO incorporated, the sample added by 2 wt% GO (GO-2@ZIF-8) had a more preferable structure for hydrogen adsorption, and the isosteric heat of hydrogen adsorption on this sample is larger than that on the ZIF-8. It also shows that the incorporation brought about the enhancement on the cycling performance at 77.15 K within 0–5 MPa as well as on the hydro-stability of the sample. It suggests that the composite prepared by incorporating ZIF-8 with GO is a promising medium for on board hydrogen storage.

Glioma cancer is the primary cause of cancer-related fatalities globally for both men and women. Traditional chemotherapy treatments for this condition frequently result in reduced efficacy and significant adverse effects. This investigation developed a new drug delivery system for the chemotherapeutic drug temozolomide (TMZ) using pH-sensitive drug delivery zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIF-8). These nanoplatforms demonstrate excellent biocompatibility and hold potential for cancer therapy. Utilizing the favorable reaction milieu offered by ZIFs, a ‘one-pot method’ was employed for the fabrication and loading of drugs, leading to a good capacity for loading. TMZ@TA@ZIF-8 NPs exhibit a notable response to an acidic milieu, resulting in an enhanced drug release pattern characterized by a controlled release outcome. The effectiveness of TMZ@TA@ZIF-8 NPs in inhibiting the migration and invasion of U251 glioma cancer cells, as well as promoting apoptosis, was confirmed through various tests, including MTT (3-(4,5)-dimethylthiahiazo(-z-y1)) assay, DAPI/PI dual staining, and cell scratch assay. The biochemical fluorescent staining assays showed that TMZ@TA@ZIF-8 NPs potentially improved ROS, reduced MMP, and triggered apoptosis in U251 cells. In U251 cells treated with NPs, the p53, Bax, Cyt-C, caspase-3, −8, and −9 expressions were significantly enhanced, while Bcl-2 expression was diminished. These outcomes show the potential of TMZ@TA@ZIF-8 NPs as a therapeutic agent with anti-glioma properties. Overall, the pH-responsive drug delivery systems we fabricated using TMZ@TA@ZIF-8 NPs show great potential for cancer treatment. This approach has the potential to make significant contributions to the improvement of cancer therapy by overcoming the problems associated with TMZ-based treatments.

This study investigated the enhancement in bioethanol recovery from mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) by functionalizing zeolite framework-8 (ZIF-8) with imidazolate. This study focused on the separation of ethanol from low-concentration ethanol/water mixtures (typical post-fermentation concentrations of 5–10 wt%). Specifically, ZIF-8 was modified by the shell–ligand exchange reaction (SLER) with 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole (DMBIM), resulting in ZIF-8-DMBIM particles with improved hydrophobicity, organophilicity, larger size, and adjustable pore size. These particles were incorporated into a PEBAX 2533 matrix to produce ZIF-8-DMBIM/PEBAX MMMs using a dilution blending method. The resulting membranes showed significant performance enhancement: 8 wt% ZIF-8-DMBIM loading achieved a total flux of 308 g/m2·h and a separation factor of 16.03, which was a 36.8% increase in flux and 176.4% increase in separation factor compared with the original PEBAX membrane. In addition, performance remained stable during a 130 h cycling test. These improvements are attributed to the enhanced compatibility and dispersion of ZIF-8-DMBIM in the PEBAX matrix. In conclusion, the evaluation of nanofiller content, feed concentration, operating temperature, and membrane stability confirmed that ZIF-8-DMBIM/PEBAX MMM is ideal for ethanol recovery in primary bioethanol concentration processes.

Matrine (MT) is a kind of alkaloid extracted from Sophora and is a promising substitute for chemical nematicides and botanical pesticides. The present study utilized sodium alginate (SA), zeolite imidazole salt skeleton (ZIF), and MT as raw materials to prepare a pH-response-release nematicide through the electrostatic spray technique. Zinc metal–organic framework (ZIF-8) was initially synthesized, followed by the successful loading of MT. Subsequently, the electrostatic spray process was employed to encapsulate it in SA, resulting in the formation of MT/ZIF-8@SA microcapsules. The efficiency of encapsulation and drug loadings can reach 79.93 and 26.83%, respectively. Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is one of the important pests that harm crops; acetic acid produced by plant roots and CO2 produced by root respiration causing a decrease in the pH of the surrounding environment, which is most attractive to the SCN when the pH is between 4.5 and 5.4. MT/ZIF-8@SA releases the loaded MT in response to acetic acid produced by roots and acidic oxides produced by root respiration. The rate of release was 37.67% higher at pH 5.25 compared with pH 8.60. The control efficiency can reach 89.08% under greenhouse conditions. The above results demonstrate that the prepared MT/ZIF-8@SA not only exhibited excellent efficacy but also demonstrated a pH-responsive release of the nematicide.

Plasma extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as promising biomarkers for the early diagnosis of glioblastoma. However, rapid and efficient isolation and detection of tumor-specific EV subsets from plasma remains challenging. To address this, we developed an innovative integrated chip based on self-sacrificial metal–organic frameworks and the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) aptamers called ZIF-8@EGFR aptamer (ZIF-8@Apt), which further coupled with a “nano-fuels”-driven DNAzyme amplification strategy. The core functionality of the constructed chip lies in its ability to capture EVs with the ZIF-8@Apt module. Once captured, numerous DNA “nano-fuel” structures are in situ assembled on the EVs’ surfaces. Subsequently, the ZIF-8@Apt@EV@nano-fuels composites are lysed to release Zn 2+ , the EVs’ nucleic acids, and additional nano-fuels for subsequent detection. Finally, a DNAzyme detection system is introduced, where the released nano-fuels activate the DNAzyme, leading to multiple signal amplification aided by Zn 2+ for highly sensitive detection of plasma EVs. This integrated approach effectively enriches and detects target EVs, achieving a significantly enhanced detection sensitivity of 500 particles/μL. In a clinical study involving glioblastoma patients, our chip demonstrated a remarkable ability to distinguish between cancer patients and healthy individuals, achieving an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.958. Moreover, the response signals of the chip can be conveniently read using fluorescence spectroscopy or microscope, offering a rapid, highly sensitive, and high-throughput analysis of plasma EVs for various application scenarios. Overall, this study introduces a comprehensive approach for the rapid isolation and accurate analysis of plasma EVs, holding significant promise for early diagnosis and disease monitoring.

Changes in the content of trans -caryophyllene could identify whether sweetpotatoes are infected with black spot disease. Therefore, in this study, a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) sensor based on modified CAU-1@ZIF-8 was used for non-destructive detection of sweetpotato black spot. The experimental results showed that the constructed sensor performed best when both modified CAU-1 and ZIF-8 were present. The sensor showed a linear trend (R 2 = 0.996, limit of detection (LOD) = 0.55 ppm) in response to trans -caryophyllene in the concentration range of 20–340 ppm with a sensitivity of −0.489 Hz (ppm) −1 . The developed gas sensor was successfully used for the detection of trans -caryophyllene in real samples of sweetpotato. The experimental data showed a significant correlation with the results of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS) with a correlation coefficient of 0.970 ( p < 0.01). Therefore, it could be used for early warning of black spot disease in sweetpotato.

The development of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs)-derived magnetic carbon-based materials for high-efficiency electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption has attracted widespread attention. While these MOFs-derived composites have shown exceptional performance in absorbing EMWs within the X and Ku bands, the pursuit of effective absorption at lower frequencies remains a challenge. Herein, we demonstrate a novel strategy to synthesize hollow Co@C/C rods with excellent C-band EMW absorption via acetic acid etching and pyrolysis of core–shell ZIF-8@ZIF-67. Based on acetic acid etching, ligand-deficient ZIF-8@ZIF-67 rods with abundant mesoporous structures are constructed, enabling precise control over the Co nanoparticles content, graphitization degree, and pyridinic N doping in the derived Co@C/C. This simple fine-tuning approach simultaneously reduces dipole polarization by lowering the pyridinic N doping concentration, suppresses interfacial polarization and conduction loss through reducing the number of graphitic carbon layer, and enhances magnetic loss by increasing the Co content. These combined effects collectively improve the impedance matching of Co@C/C for low-frequency absorption. Notably, as the volume of acetic acid solution increases, the absorption frequency band of Co@C/C gradually shifts from the Ku-band to the C-band, while sustaining superior EMW absorption performance. At the filling ratio of merely 11 %, the RL min values for Co@C/C-20 and Co@C/C-30 achieve −49.8 dB and −34.7 dB at 7.2 GHz and 6.8 GHz, respectively. This study offers a valuable approach to the development of lightweight materials with excellent EMW absorption in C-band.

Bamboo scrimber (BS) as an engineering material has been widely used in outdoor areas, in order to improve the protective properties of bamboo scrimber, this study prepared a new composite coating. Wood wax oil (WO) and Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-8 (ZIF-8) nanoparticles were prepared separately, and ZIF-8 nanoparticles were modified with low surface energy perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane (POTS). ZIF-8/POTS nanoparticles were constructed on the surface of bamboo scrimber to form ZIF-8/POTS/WO/BS composite coatings via the mediating effect of wood wax oil. The composite coatings were superhydrophobic, with a water contact angle of 161.4°. After aging tests, the contact angle of the composite coatings decreased by only 6.51 %, indicating that they remained superhydrophobic. Compared with uncoated substrates, after anti-mildew and preservative treatment tests, the bamboo scrimber coated with ZIF-8/POTS/WO/BS showed an improvement in its discoloration level from grade 4 to grade 1 and an infection level improvement from grade 3 to grade 0. The composite coatings had a nanoscale surface roughness with a surface energy of 2.94 mJ/m 2 . The coatings also exhibited self-cleaning performance, with a dust removal efficiency of 90.91 %. The air layer created on the surface of the composite coating made it difficult for water and microorganisms to directly contact the surface of the coatings. Furthermore, The Zn 2+ ions and 2-methylimidazole released by ZIF-8 disrupted the ionic balance in the surrounding environment, achieving a dual synergistic antifungal effect, which inhibited microbial growth and reproduction on the surface of the coatings, thus providing greater outdoor protection. This work pioneered the use of MOFs and wood wax oil to construct superhydrophobic, self-cleaning, and weather-resistant composite coatings on bamboo scrimber. This coating may enable bamboo scrimber to be used in outdoor building structures, highway guardrails, and bridge components, especially in harsh and wet outdoor environments.

The indiscriminate use and excessive consumption of ciprofloxacin (CIP) may induce adverse effects in both humans and animals, while concurrently contributing to environmental contamination. Hence, there is an urgent demand to establish highly efficient detection methods for trace ciprofloxacin residues. Herein, a highly efficient electrochemical sensor based on ZIF-8 metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived N-containing porous carbon-supported Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles (Fe 3 O 4 /NPC) was fabricated for the sensitive determination of CIP residues in milk and honey. Due to the synergistic interaction between Fe 3 O 4 NPs and NPC, the composite exhibited large specific surface area, high conductivity, and abundant internal catalytic sites, effectively improving the voltammetric response of CIP. As a result, the Fe 3 O 4 /NPC demonstrated significant electrocatalytic activity for CIP oxidation, with two wide linear response ranges (0.01–1.0 μM and 1.0–10 μM), high sensitivity (3.312 and 0.8574 μM μA −1 ), and a low limit of detection (0.002 μM). The Fe 3 O 4 /NPC/GCE showed strong anti-interfering capabilities even in excess potential interference substances, and could operate stably for at least one month (with a current retention rate of 81.9 %). Moreover, the Fe 3 O 4 /NPC/GCE was successfully applied to the determination of CIP in milk and honey, achieving satisfactory recovery (95.2 %–103.8 %). Considering its significant advantages such as cost-effectiveness, ease of operation, and excellent sensing properties, the Fe 3 O 4 /NPC has broad application prospects on sensitive detection CIP residues at trace level.

Oxidative lesions, such as 8-oxo-dG and 8-oxo-dA, are continuously generated from exposure to reactive oxygen species. While 8-oxo-dG has been extensively studied, 8-oxo-dA has not received as much attention until recently. Herein, we report the synthesis of duplex DNAs incorporating dA, 8-oxo-dA, 7-deaza-dA, 8-Br-dA, and 8-Br-7-deaza-dA, which have different substitutions at 7- and 8-position, for the investigation into the implications of N7-hydrogen and C8-keto on the base pairing preference, mutagenic potential and repair of 8-oxo-dA. Base pairing study suggested that the polar N7-hydrogen and C8-keto of 8-oxo-dA, rather than the syn -preference, might be essential for 8-oxo-dA to form a stable base pair with dG. Insertion and extension studies using KF-exo − and human DNA polymerase β indicated that the efficient dGTP insertion opposite 8-oxo-dA and extension past 8-oxo-dA:dG are contingent upon not only the stable base pair with dG, but also the flexibility of the active site in polymerase. The N7-hydrogen in 8-oxo-dA or C7-hydrogen in 7-deaza-dA and 8-Br-7-deaza-dA was suggested to be important for the recognition by hOGG1, although the excision efficiencies of 7-deaza-dA and 8-Br-7-deaza-dA were much lower than 8-oxo-dA. This study provides an insight into the structure-function relationship of 8-oxo-dA by nucleotide analogues.

Two rapid and sensitive analytical methods are developed for the determination of D-penicillamine (D-PEN) and tiopronin (TP) through high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection (HPLC-FLD) and capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence detection (CE-LIF). A boron-dipyrrolemethene (BODIPY) fluorescence labeling reagent, 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-8-bromomethyl-difluoroboradiaza-s-indacene (TMMB-Br) was successfully applied to derivatize these two thiol drugs. Fluorescein was used as the internal standard (IS) for the quantification of D-PEN and TP in CE-LIF. The derivatization and separation conditions were optimized carefully. Under the optimum conditions, the HPLC and CE separation of D-PEN and TP could be achieved within 12 min. The limits of detection were as low as 2.0 nmol/L for HPLC-FLD and 0.47 nmol/L for CE-LIF. The drugs in human urine and serum samples were determined successfully, and the recoveries were 95.0–06.7% and 95.2–104.3%, respectively.

In recent years, lead (Pb) contaminated soil has caused irreversible damage to human beings. It is urgent to develop a novel technology for accurate detection of Pb in the soil solution. Herein, a new electrochemical sensor was fabricated. Fe/ZIF-8 was used as the modification material, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were electrodeposited, and DNAzyme was applied on the surface as the probe. Under the optimum conditions (DNAzyme concentration of 1 μmol, fixation time of 4 min, incubation time of 17 h and reaction time of 30 min), the detection range was 5×10 −12 ∼ 5×10 −5 M, and the minimum detection limit was 10 −13 M (3δ). Furthermore, the electrochemical sensor demonstrated outstanding anti-interference ability to common cations, anions, organic compounds and other interference factors. After four consecutive tests, the relative standard deviation (RSD) was only 0.39%, and it still displayed excellent reproducibility with 0.69% of RSD. After 20 days, the sensor’s response to Pb 2+ remained at 93.58%. In addition, the sensor could accurately detect Pb 2+ in the actual soil solutions, and the recoveries of the samples ranged from 92% to 109.4%. In conclusion, this electrochemical sensor can specifically detect Pb 2+ in the soil solution with enhanced sensitivity, anti-interference capability and stability, which is of great significance for Pb 2+ detection in the field.
