Since the emergence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), this highly contagious disease has ravaged the world, cumulatively causing millions of deaths and huge economic losses. As the culprit of COVID-19, severe acute respiratory syndrome β-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is highly infectious and pathogenic, which has caused extreme panic worldwide. Early and rapid monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 has a significant role in suppressing the pandemic and reducing the virus's lethality. In our work, we prepared a self-enhanced ruthenium complex linked to zeolitic imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8) and used it as an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) emitter. Additionally, a double-stranded specific nuclease (DSN)-assisted target RNA cycling with catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) signal amplification technology was used to achieve the conversion of target RNA concentration to double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) output which significantly improved the detection sensitivity of target RNA under environmental conditions and in real human serum samples. In addition, we also combined the trans-cleavage property of CRISPR–Cas12a with the adsorption property of C3N4 on a ferrocene (Fc)-labeled DNA probe and obtained target RNA-dependent ECL signals. The reliable detection protocol achieved the transformation of SARS-CoV-2 RNA concentration to ECL responses, obtaining a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.67 fM with high specificity and reproducibility, which was of guiding significance for current detection methods of mutant SARS-CoV-2 and universal RNA.

In order to meet the requirements of the marine environment for microwave absorption (MA) materials, we put forward the strategy of constructing multi-functional composite materials, which integrate microwave absorption, anti-corrosion, and antibacterial properties. Herein, graphene oxide (GO) was used as a template to induce the growth of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8), simultaneously as a two-dimensional (2D) nanocontainers to load corrosion inhibitors to achieve pH-responsive and self-healing properties. Finally, quaternary ammonium salt (dimethyl octadecyl(3-trimethoxylsilyl propyl) ammonium chloride (DMAOP)) and sodium ascorbate (VCNa) were introduced to achieve synergistic antibacterial activity and the reduction of GO. The 2D strip-like structure of ZIF-8 was due to the confined growth induced by the electrostatic attraction between ZIF-8 and GO sheets. The as-obtained reduced GO (RGO)/ZIF-8/DMAOP 5 exhibited excellent microwave absorption (MA) properties, with a minimum reflection loss (RL) value of −47.08 dB at 12.73 GHz when the thickness was 2.8 mm. Moreover, the effective absorption bandwidth reached 6.84 GHz. After soaking in 3.5% NaCl solution for 35 days, the RGO/ZIF-8/DMAOP 5 −0.7% coating still achieved an impedance value of 4.585 × 10 7 Ω·cm 2 and a protective efficiency of 99.994%, providing superior anti-corrosion properties. In addition, fantastic antibacterial activity was obtained, with the antibacterial rates of RGO/ZIF-8/DMAOP 10 reaching 99.39% and 100% against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus . This work could open new avenues towards the development of a new generation of multifunctional MA materials.

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have the potential to boost the undervalued biomedical applications of metal ions. Such endeavor has been hindered by the challenge of how to avoid the (cyto)toxicity of the prematurely released metal ions to healthy cells or organisms and amorphous precipitates of ions formed with components in biological fluids before achieving targeting applications. The current work aimed to partially address such challenges by developing a prototypical metal ion reservoir. We prepared well-defined core–shell ZIF-8@PDA nanoparticles, with zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) as the reservoir of Zn2+ and polydopamine (PDA) with inherent metal ion chelating capabilities as the shell. The well-known self-etching problem of MOF templates upon polydopamine coating was mitigated by controlling the surface properties of cubic ZIF-8 nanoparticles. As regulated by the PDA shell that can partially trap the prematurely released metal ions, ZIF-8@PDA nanoparticles had a unique Zn2+ releasing behavior consisting of a limited releasing stage followed by pH-dependent burst releasing that could quickly increase the local Zn2+ concentration to harmful levels. Enhanced antibacterial efficiency of ZIF-8@PDA against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus was demonstrated. This could be attributed to the strong interaction of ZIF-8@PDA with bacteria as driven by inherent bioadhesion of PDA, which could promote direct interactions of released zinc ions with bacteria by avoiding potential precipitations.

In order to form strengthened active sites for superior CO 2 adsorption on core shell ZIF-8@ZIF-67 nanocomposites , graphene oxide (GO) with oxygen-containing functional groups was used as support to synthesize hybrid adsorbents with unsaturated Zn–N 2 –O active sites. The results of XPS O 1s and FTIR analysis revealed that the Me–O functional group content in the 0.5 wt% graphene oxide (GO)-supported core shell ZIF-8@ZIF-67 nanocomposite (38.9 at.%) was much higher than that in the 0.5 wt% reduced graphene oxide (RGO)-supported nanocomposite (19.4 at.%). This was because hydroxyl functional groups in the GO formed coordination bonds with zinc atoms in core shell ZIF-8@ZIF-67. XPS N 1s spectra indicated that the incorporation of oxygen-containing functional groups in GO resulted in the transition of binding form from Me–N 4 to Me–N 2 . The CO 2 adsorption capacity of GO-supported core shell ZIF-8@ZIF-67 gradually decreased from 2.15 to 1.30 mmol/g as GO weight percentage increased from 0.5 to 4 wt%, which was consistent with the decrease in BET surface area from 1378 to 585 m 2 /g and increase in peak pore diameter from 7.7 to 8.2 Å. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrated that unsaturated Zn–N 2 –O active sites in GO-supported core shell ZIF-8@ZIF-67 nanocomposites resulted in a decreased O C⋯Zn interaction distance from 4.65 (Zn–N 4 sites in core shell ZIF-8@ZIF-67) to 3.46 Å and an increased binding energy from 34.02 to 38.87 kJ/mol. Therefore, 0.5 wt% GO-supported core shell ZIF-8@ZIF-67 nanocomposites exhibited the highest CO 2 adsorption capacity of 2.15 mmol/g (at 273 K and 1 bar), 1.34 times higher than that of core-shell ZIF-8@ZIF-67.

Hepatocellular carcinoma is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally. Advanced nanomaterials have emerged as effective approaches to liver cancer therapy such as photothermal therapy. However, limited penetration depth of photothermal agents (PTAs) activated in the NIR-I bio-window and thermoresistance due to heat shock proteins restrict the therapeutic efficacy of PTT in HCC. Herein, we prepared a Bi@ZIF-8 (BZ) nanomaterial by a simple one-step reduction method. Then, gambogic acid, a natural inhibitor of Hsp90, was efficiently loaded onto the BZ nanomaterial via physical mixing. The characterization of the nanomaterial and release of GA due to pH change or NIR-light irradiation were separately studied. Photothermal conversion efficiency was calculated, and therapeutic studies were carried out in vitro and in vivo. This nanomaterial exhibited a significantly enhanced drug release rate when the temperature was increased under acidic conditions and had good light stability under laser irradiation and a photothermal conversion efficiency of about 24.4%. In addition, this novel nanomaterial achieved good therapeutic effects with less toxicity in vitro. The BZ nanomaterial loaded with GA caused tumor shrinkage as well as disappearance and effectively downregulated Hsp90 expression in tumors in vivo. Moreover, this novel nanomaterial exhibited good biocompatibility and potential for application in low-temperature PTT with excellent tumor destruction efficacy.

As persistent organic pollutants, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethanes (DDTs) and their metabolites pose considerable risks to human health and the environment. Therefore, monitoring DDTs in the environment is essential. Here, we developed a green, simple, and effective magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) method coupled with gas chromatography tandem triple-quadrupole mass spectrometry to determine the DDT content of environmental water samples. A magnetic ionic liquid (IL) adsorbent was developed based on a modified magnetic multiwalled carbon nanotube/zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (MM/ZIF-8/IL), synthesized by immobilizing the IL on the surface of MM/ZIF-8. We confirmed successful synthesis of MM/ZIF-8/IL by material characterization, and our results suggested that the MM/ZIF-8/IL had a high Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area (159.9 m2g−1), good thermostability (<800 °C), and a high degree of superparamagnetism (52.9 emu g−1). Several experimental conditions affecting the MSPE efficiency were optimized. Under the best conditions, good detection linearity was achieved (0.5–500 µg L−1) with determination coefficients ranging from 0.9927 to 0.9971. The lower limits of detection (0.0016–0.0072 µg L−1) also had good precision, having an intraday relative standard deviation (RSD) ≤ 6.5% and an interday RSD ≤ 8.9%. Finally, we used the as-developed method to determine DDT levels in environmental water samples.Keywords:dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane;magnetic solid phase extraction;zeolitic imidazolate framework;ionic liquid;environmental samples

Nanocontainers encapsulating corrosion inhibitors are commonly incorporated into organic coatings to enable self-healing effects, thereby ensuring long-term anticorrosion performance. In this study, a novel dual corrosion inhibitor-loaded self-healing nanocontainer with core-shell structure was proposed for fabricating composite waterborne epoxy coatings with both active and passive corrosion prevention properties. The nanocontainer, named BTA-ZIF-8@LDH-Mo, was synthesized through the in-situ growth of molybdate-intercalated ZnAl layered double hydroxide (LDH-Mo) on the surface of 1H-benzotriazole-inbuilt zeolitic imidazolate framework (BTA-ZIF-8). Potentiodynamic polarization results showed that the I corr of bare Q235 carbon steel immersed in a 3.5 wt% NaCl solution decreased from 4.658 × 10 −6 A/cm 2 to 1.274 × 10 −6 A/cm 2 after introducing BTA-ZIF-8@LDH-Mo nanocontainers, resulting in a superior corrosion inhibition efficiency of 72.65 %. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy further demonstrated that the |Z| f=0.01Hz of epoxy coating doped with BTA-ZIF-8@LDH-Mo reached 4.24 × 10 9 Ω·cm 2 after 42 d of immersion in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution, approximately 30 times higher than that of pure EP coating. Moreover, investigations on artificially scratched coatings indicated that the incorporation of BTA-ZIF-8@LDH-Mo nanocontainers effectively mitigated the corrosion process by forming an inhibiting layer on the metal substrate that impeded the corrosion process. The dual corrosion inhibitor strategy relies on the synergistic action of BTA pre-loaded in ZIF-8 nanoparticles and molybdate ( MoO 4 2- ) intercalated in LDH interlayers for active corrosion protection . Additionally, the nanocontainers enhance passive protection by elongating the diffusion paths of corrosive media and trapping chloride ions. This nanocontainer design offers a facile strategy for fabricating a smart coating with the excellent anticorrosion properties.

A one-step hydrothermal method was used to deposit a in situ composite coating on a magnesium alloy by adding ZIF-8 nanoparticles modified by polydopamine (PDA) (PDA@ZIF-8) as a photoabsorbing agent and growing Mg-Al double-layer hydroxide (LDH). The results showed that PDA@ZIF-8 nanoparticles had significant influence on the corrosion resistance, antibacterial properties, and biocompatibility of the LDH coating, and improved the compactness and crystallinity of LDH by regulating the growth of its lamella. Compared with the LDH coating, the corrosion current density of the composite coating by adding PDA@ZIF-8 nanoparticles was reduced from 2.28×10 -5 to 1.86×10 −6 A·cm -2 . And its immersion corrosion rates were 0.89 ± 0.05 mm·year −1 in SBF solution for 8 days. Meanwhile, it had antibacterial efficacy of 99.99% and 99.99% against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus , respectively, with the in vitro photothermal conversion efficiency of 29.77%. Moreover, besides greatly improving osteogenic activity and biocompatibility in vitro, the composite coating with the addtion of PDA@ZIF-8 nanoparticlescan also drive M1-type macrophages to M2-biased phenotypes after exposure to 808 nm NIR light, changing in macrophage secretion for tissue regeneration, and fulfill the excellent antibacterial properties in vivo antibacterial implantation test. This method can provide an effective way and strategy for regulating and enhancing the antibacterial functionalization and improving the corrosion resistance of the double-layer hydroxide coating on the surface of magnesium alloys.

A core–shell–shell sandwich material is developed with silver nanowires as the core, ZIF-8 as an inner shell, and gold nanoparticles as the outer shell, namely, Ag@ZIF-8@Au nanowires (AZA-NW). Then, the synthesized AZA-NW is transformed into a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) sensor (named M-AZA) by the vacuum filtration method and used to enrich, detect, and inactivate traces of bacteria in the environment. The M-AZA sensor has three main functions: (1) trace bacteria are effectively enriched, with an enrichment efficiency of 91.4%; (2) ultrasensitive detection of trace bacteria is realized, with a minimum detectable concentration of 1 × 101 CFU/mL; (3) bacteria are effectively killed up to 92.4%. The shell thickness of ZIF-8 (5–75 nm) is controlled by adjusting the synthesis conditions. At an optimum shell thickness of 15 nm, the effect of gold nanoparticles and ZIF-8 shell on the sensor’s stability, SERS activity, and antibacterial performance is investigated. The simulation of the SERS sensor using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method is consistent with the experimental results, theoretically demonstrating the role of the gold nanoparticles and the ZIF-8 shell. The sensor also shows excellent stability, safety, and generalizability. The campus water sample is then tested on-site by the M-AZA SERS sensor, indicating its potential for practical applications.

Improving the reactant mass transfer on the catalyst surface is a feasible approach to fabricate a robust solid catalyst for efficiently promoting the biomass macromolecules-involving reactions, specifically for biodiesel production by using non-edible acidic oils as feedstocks. In this premise, to reduce the mass transfer resistance, the hierarchical porous SOM-ZIF-8 was firstly synthesized using polystyrene spheres (PS) as templates and then employed as catalyst supports for loading of Keplerate-type polyoxomolybdates {Mo 132 } to prepare a novel {Mo 132 }@SOM-ZIF-8 solid acid catalyst. The catalyst characterization results revealed that the active species of {Mo 132 } clusters were well-dispersed on the SOM-ZIF-8 support and the primary framework of the SOM-ZIF-8 support remained nearly unaltered after the preparation processes. This prepared catalyst featured three-dimensional ordered hierarchical porous structure and dual Bronsted-Lewis acid sites, with a large surface area of 736.26 m 2 /g and high acidity of 903 μmol/g, presenting high activities for concurrent triglyceride transesterification and free fatty acids (FFAs) esterification. With the acidic soybean oils as feedstocks, 93.9 % of oil conversion and full FFA conversion to biodiesel were achieved over this solid catalyst at 130 °C for 8 h with a catalyst loading of 2 wt%, thus imparting the great potential for a one-pot efficient biodiesel manufacture from the acidic oils to comply with the demand of green and clean production. The synergy between the hierarchical porous structure and the strong acidity emerged, thus boosting the catalytic performance of this solid catalyst for the heterogeneous biodiesel production. The good FFA and moisture-resistance capacity was shown for this catalyst even in the case of moisture content of 3 % and FFA content of 25 %. Further, this catalyst showed excellent reusability without significantly losing its catalytic performance even after five runs, providing a deeper insight into constructing efficient solid catalysts with hierarchical porous structure that are utilized for cost-effective production of biodiesel from the non-edible acidic oils.

Metal-nitrogen-carbon (M–N–C) catalysts are promising alternatives to precious metal-based bifunctional catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in Zn-air batteries (ZABs). Herein, FeCo@nitrogen doped carbon nanotube/nitrogen doped reduced graphene oxide (FeCo@NCNT/N-rGO) catalyst with unique 3D heterostructure was synthesized through one-step pyrolysis of FeCo-ZIF-8 precursor anchored on graphene oxide (FeCo-ZIF-8/GO). Benefiting from the coupling of FeCo dual-metal sites with nitrogen-doped carbon substrates, the FeCo@NCNT/N-rGO catalyst achieved extraordinary bifunctional oxygen electrocatalytic activity, exhibiting a high ORR half-wave potential (E 1/2 ) of 0.881 V (vs. RHE), which was superior to the Pt/C catalyst (0.838 V), and OER overpotential of 343 mV at 10 mA cm −2 , merely inferior to RuO 2 by 33 mV. The resulting ΔE (defined as E j=10 − E 1/2 ) reaches an impressively low value of 0.69 V, highlighting its superior reversible oxygen electrocatalytic performance. Meanwhile, achieving a high-power density of 240 mW cm −2 and open circuit voltage (OCV) of 1.488 V in ZAB applications, superior to that of Pt/C + RuO 2 in ZAB (1.447 V; 143 mW cm −2 ). Flexible solid-state ZAB with FeCo@NCNT/N-rGO achieves 1.416 V OCV and 47.4 mW cm −2 power density, remaining stable even when bent 180°. This study guides design of dual-site non-precious metal bifunctional oxygen catalysts.

Currently, the development of two kinds of materials from a single precursor has been an important frontier in material synthesis. In this study, we have successfully fabricated a single precursor using metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) (zeolitic imidazolate framework, ZIF-8) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). ZnO quantum dots (QDs)/carbon/CNTs and porous N-doped carbon/CNTs have been selectively synthesized from a single ZIF-8/CNTs template. When the two derived materials were used for supercapacitor electrodes, they showed high capacitance values (185 F g−1 g for ZnO QDs/carbon/CNTs at 0.5 A g−1 and 250 F g−1 g for porous N-doped carbon/CNTs at 1 A g−1, respectively). Further, an all-solid-state asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) device using ZnO QDs/carbon/CNTs as the positive electrode and porous N-doped carbon/CNTs as the negative electrode was fabricated, and this device could reach a working potential of 1.7 V, delivering a maximum energy density of 23.6 W h kg−1 and a maximum power density of 16.9 kW kg−1, which are better than those of the ZnO-based symmetric or asymmetric supercapacitor devices.
