Bio-based route for preparing adipic acid (AA) from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural is the direction for achieving green and sustainable AA production. In light of the challenges, such as corrosion and difficulties in recycling of I - containing homogeneous catalyst, large amount, high cost, and significant mass transfer resistance of ionic liquid (IL) catalyst, encountered in the current hydrodeoxygenation of 2,5-tetrahydrofurandicarboxylic acid (THFDCA) to AA process. Herein, 1-sulfobutyl-3-methylimidazolium iodide IL ([HSO 3 -b-mim]·I) was used to functionalize MIL-101-NH 2 through acid-base self-assembly approach, hence, a heterogeneous catalyst, IL/MIL-101-NH 2 was designed and applied in the hydrodeoxygenation of THFDCA to bio-based AA for the first time. When reacted at 180 °C for 2 h, the THFDCA conversion and AA yield were 100 % and 99.9 %, respectively. Moreover, IL/MIL-101-NH 2 exhibited remarkable stability and could be reused multiple times with minimal loss in activity. XRD, SEM, FT-IR, BET, XPS, and TG results revealed that the functionalization process involved the reaction between HSO 3 in the IL and NH 2 in MIL-101-NH 2 , forming a salt that chemically bonded the IL to MIL-101-NH 2 , thereby enhancing stability. The excellent hydrodeoxygenation activity was attributed to the synergistic effect of the Lewis acid site (Cr 3+ ) and the Lewis base nucleophilic site (I - ) within IL/MIL-101-NH 2 .

The technology of using electricity generated from renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power for water electrolysis to produce hydrogen has achieved high efficiency, high purity, and environmental friendliness. However, its further development is constrained by the high overpotential of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and the high cost of precious metal catalysts. The methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) as an alternative to OER can significantly reduce overall energy consumption and accelerate the hydrogen evolution reaction. This study innovatively utilizes the metal-organic framework (MOF) of NH₂-MIL-88(Fe) to introduce Ni doping, preparing a series of Fe x Ni y -MOF and their bimetallic carbon derivatives (Fe x Ni y /C) through solvothermal synthesis and high-temperature carbonization. Results show that FeNi₂/C exhibited excellent performance in OER, with a Tafel slope of 38.69 mV·dec⁻ 1 and an overpotential of 335 mV at 10 mA cm⁻ 2 , comparable to RuO₂. In MOR, the overpotential was 193 mV, reduced by approximately 140 mV compared to OER, with outstanding stability. The catalytic mechanism was analyzed using ion chromatography, revealing the key role of Ni doping in enhancing catalytic activity and stability. This study provides new strategies for improving the electrocatalytic hydrogen production efficiency of renewable energy and reducing the production cost of hydrogen energy.

Photocatalytic selective oxidation of furfural is a green, gentle way of preparing furoic acid. Photocatalytic oxidation effectively avoids the problems of difficult separation and high energy consumption in subsequent work-ups caused by the use of homogeneous oxidants. The photocatalytic process suffers from uncontrollable reactive oxygen species, resulting in low selectivity of the target product and excessive oxidation. Therefore, the K x -C 3 N 4 /UiO-66-NH 2 -Y catalyst was prepared by the mass proportion of UiO-66-NH 2 and K x -C 3 N 4 to form a heterogeneous structure, and the band gap width was adjusted to effectively avoid the formation of non-target strong reactive oxygen species ( OH). The results showed that: the aqueous 0.1 mM Na 2 CO 3 solution had an inhibitory effect on the non– target reactive oxygen species at room temperature; when the reaction time was 5 h and K 0.1 -C 3 N 4 /UiO-66-NH 2 -20, the furoic acid had the highest yield of 70.7, the target reactive oxygen species was confirmed by free radical capture experiments as O 2 – , and it was postulated that the reaction mechanism for the preparation of furoic acid by selective oxidation of furfural.

Developing high-performance artificial enzyme materials with practical applications in efficient catalytic hydrolysis detoxification of organophosphate (OP) nerve agents remains a formidable challenge. Herein, UiO-66-NH2-stabilized Pickering high internal phase molecularly imprinted polymer systems (MOFs@PHIPMIPs) were developed using OPs as template molecules. Thus, UiO-66-NH2-doped high-internal-phase MIP composites were obtained, which integrate MIPs and MOFs successfully, showing remarkable catalytic hydrolysis activity towards OPs. In addition, by introducing methyl methacrylate (MMA) during copolymerization, the MOFs@PHIPMIPs would effectively acquire pH buffering properties. The multi-porous composite catalysis system exhibits an exceptionally high detoxification efficiency towards dimethyl-4-nitrophenyl phosphate (DMNP) in pure water (kobs = 0.9162 min−1, t1/2 = 0.76 min). This work presents a new strategy for the preparation of artificial phosphatase materials with high-performance catalytic detoxification of OPs with great application prospects.

Despite epoxy composites being used in a wide range of applications, it remains a great challenge to solve the defect of high brittleness and poor wear resistance for real engineering applications. Nanomaterials enhance fracture toughness and provide superior antifriction and wear resistance for epoxy matrix materials. In this work, a late-model ANFs/MXene/UiO-66-NH 2 hybrid aerogel (AMU) with 3D layered and “mortar-brick” multi-hole structure was devised via solution impregnation and hydrothermal in situ growth processes. MXene and UiO-66-NH 2 were uniformly anchored to the surface of the ANFs aerogel backbone due to hydrogen bonding forces and electrostatic adsorption. The acquired AMU-EP composites exhibited excellent thermal conductivity owing to an efficient three-dimensional network of thermal conductive pathways inside the epoxy matrix. Moreover, the efficient synergistic effect of AMU components formed a high-quality transfer film on the surface of steel balls during the friction process, which was important for enhancing the tribological properties of AMU-EP.

In this paper, the effect of conventional solvothermal and a microwave-assisted method for the synthesis of MIL-101(Fe) and NH 2 -MIL-101(Fe) as adsorbents for the removal of tetracycline in wastewater is reported for the first time. The results had shown that the microwave treatment led to a significant reduction in the material synthesis time, which greatly saved the energy. It was also found that the microwave-assisted synthesized material exhibited small particle size, high specific surface area and better adsorption capacity. The introduction of amino group further enhanced the adsorption capacity of MIL-101(Fe). The adsorption capacity of MIL-101(Fe) and NH 2 -MIL-101(Fe) samples for tetracycline adsorption by microwave assisted synthesis method reached up to 332 mg/g and 378 mg/g, respectively. Moreover, the adsorption isotherm was well-fit with Freundlich model, indicating a multilayer adsorption . The kinetic studies indicated that the reaction followed pseudo second-order reaction kinetics with a best fit to the theoretical value. Due to the higher adsorption efficiency and lower energy consumption of the synthesis, the as-prepared microwave assisted materials could be used as potential adsorbents for different pollutants in wastewater.

Haloacetic acid (HAA) disinfection by-products (DBPs) with high polarity, low concentration and significant health hazard are widely present during disinfection processes, particularly iodinated and brominated acetic acids. Due to the lack of selective enrichment media, current sample preparation methods are insufficient for efficient enrichment of low concentrations of HAA DBPs in complex samples, which usually influences the analytical sensitivity and accuracy. In this study, a modulator-induced defect formation strategy was employed to prepare defective UiO-66-NH 2 (D-UiO) as a selective enrichment medium which was further fabricated as membrane solid-phase extraction (M-SPE) to efficiently enrich HAA DBPs. The structure and enrichment performance of the D-UiO medium was studied in detail. D-UiO exhibited good extraction selectivity for the five target DBPs in the presence of structural analogs as interfering compounds. Then, a sensitive quantification method by D-UiO based M-SPE was developed for trace brominated and iodinated acetic acid DBPs in tea drinks coupled with ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The limits of detection of the method were in the range of 5.0-15.0 ng/L, and the recoveries were in the range of 78.3%-124%. By combining a ten-pass syringe pump with M-SPE technology, this method enabled batch sample processing and significantly reduced pre-treatment time. The method developed was efficient, selective, sensitive, and accurate for the analysis of hazardous HAA DBPs in complex tea drinks.

Excessive fluorine can cause a serious threat to human health. It is significant but challenging to develop a straightforward and rapid way to simultaneously detect and remove excess F– from water. Herein, we presented a three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical UiO-66-NH2 nanoparticle/γ-AlO(OH) nanowire hybrid synthesized by a facile biotemplate route for simultaneous detection and removal of F– from water. We elaborately assembled two kinds of materials in a bioinspired 3D hierarchical structure as a functional unit to achieve detection and removal of dual functions. The outer UiO-66-NH2 nanoparticles served as a fluorescent sensor to detect and capture F– via a strong fluorescence enhancement effect caused by the electron transfer from F– and γ-AlO(OH) and acted as the capture unit of F–. The inner γ-AlO(OH) nanowire layer served as a F– absorbent through ion exchange between F– and γ-AlO(OH). The resulting UiO-66-NH2 nanoparticle/γ-AlO(OH) nanowire hybrid displayed excellent selectivity and sensitivity for F– detection (the detection range was 0–5 mM and the limit of detection was as low as 0.77 μM) and high capacity for F– removal (the maximum equilibrium adsorption capacity qmax was as high as 87.0 mg g–1). This dual-function material provided a strategy for simultaneously selective sensing and efficient removal of anionic pollutants from water.

The wettability of the membrane surface is very important for the separation of oil-in-water emulsion. In this paper, the hydrophilic NH 2 -CAU-1 was added to the membrane surface by interfacial polymerization, which greatly improved the separation efficiency of oil-in-water emulsion. The effect of the amount of NH 2 -CAU-1 on the separation efficiency of TFN membrane was studied, and it was determined that TFN-1 membrane had ultra-high separation efficiency of oil-in-water emulsion (> 97.60%). TFN-1 membrane has a high underwater oil contact angle (higher than 139.53°), resulting in excellent oil adhesion resistance on the membrane surface. The universality and cycling performance of TFN-1 membrane were tested, and UWOCA had good stability under strong acid, strong base and different NaCl concentrations, and the separation efficiency did not change significantly after 8 cycles. The results show that TFN-1 membrane has excellent performance in separating oil-in-water emulsions and has broad application prospects in separating oil-in-water emulsions stabilized by surfactants.

The photocatalytic method has been proven as one of the effective methods for uranium removal from radioactive wastewater. Herein, a photocatalyst UiO-66-NH 2 -Pt was prepared using the adsorption-photoinduction method. Pt was first adsorbed on the substrate and then photo-reduced under light irradiation to be doped into the structure of UiO-66-NH 2 . The characterization results implied the formation and atomic dispersion of Pt with a loading content of 1.90 wt%. The loading of Pt has promoted the effective separation and transfer of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, broadened the visible light adsorption range and narrowed down the bandgap, thus to enhance the photocatalytic activity. Then they were applied for the photo-removal of uranium under air atmosphere. The reaction rate of UiO-66-NH 2 -Pt was about 7 times that of pure UiO-66, confirming the higher photocatalytic activity after the loading of Pt. It showed good reusability and was also universal for different water matrix. The detection of hydroxyl radicals with EPR method indicated the formation of H 2 O 2 , which could react with uranyl ions to form metastudtite under air. This work further verified the feasibility of photoinduced synthesis of Pt single atom and provided a novel material for photocatalytic removal of uranyl ion under air.

The persistent presence of antibiotic contaminants, such as fluoroquinolones (FQs), in aquatic environments poses significant environmental risks. In this study, a porous poly(glycidyl methacrylate) (PPGMA) microsphere adsorbent was designed for the efficient removal of FQs. Acrylate monomers were dispersed in water to prepare an oil-in-water high internal phase emulsion, which was subsequently subjected to ultraviolet (UV) irradiation for 3 min to prepare the microsphere with high yield. To template the porous structure, cyclohexane, a poor solvent for the polymer, was introduced into the initial monomer oil phase, and its influence on the evolution of porous morphology was systematically investigated. Thereafter, the porous microsphere was modified through grafting with polyethyleneimine to facilitate the in-situ growth of a metal-organic framework, UiO-66-NH 2 . The modification progress was monitored, and the final UiO@PPGMA microspheres were comprehensively characterized. Based on adsorption kinetics and thermodynamics, the microsphere containing only 2.78 % UiO-66-NH 2 exhibits significantly enhanced adsorption rate and capacity, which can be attributed to the in-situ grown UiO-66-NH 2 nanoparticles. Furthermore, the UiO@PPGMA microsphere can be easily regenerated, allowing it to be packed in a column for cyclic fixed-bed adsorption. Consequently, our results demonstrate a facile strategy for preparing porous microsphere adsorbents, which may have promising applications in the removal of antibiotic contaminants from water sources.
