Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) inhibitors are integral to contemporary cancer immunotherapy. However, their objective response rate in microsatellite-stable colorectal cancer (MSS CRC) remains below 5 %. This limited efficacy is primarily due to insufficient tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), a consequence of the combined effects of low tumor immunogenicity and impaired dendritic cell (DC)-mediated antigen presentation. The combination of ursolic acid (Ua) and ginsenoside Rg3 (Rg3) enhances TIL infiltration by inducing immunogenic cell death (ICD) in tumor cells and promoting DC maturation. Due to their poor oral bioavailability, an oral ZIF nanoplatform was engineered with a chitosan oligosaccharide (Cos) and inulin (In) bilayer coating [(In/Cos)@Ua-Rg3-ZIF] for targeted delivery of Ua and Rg3 to the CRC microenvironment. Efficient dual-drug co-loading was achieved with a loading efficiency of 24.07 wt%. After oral administration, the (In/Cos) coating protects the formulation from degradation in the upper gastrointestinal tract, while specific enzymatic cleavage by colonic microbiota releases Ua-Rg3-ZIF into tumor tissues. The ZIF platform responds to elevated adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the tumor microenvironment, enabling controlled release of Ua and Rg3 to enhance cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) levels. In vivo studies demonstrate that combining (In/Cos)@Ua-Rg3-ZIF with α-PD-1 results in an 80.86 % tumor inhibition rate, significantly outperforming monotherapies. This strategy presents an innovative oral delivery system capable of resisting gastrointestinal degradation and facilitating microbiota-responsive drug release, effectively enhancing antitumor immunity and improving the therapeutic outcome of immunotherapy in MSS CRC.

The incalculable metal corrosion loss makes the research of long-term corrosion resistant coatings attract much attention. Herein, we demonstrated a new strategy for constructing a pH-responsive nanocontainer as a gatekeeper, which consisted of a laminated double hydroxide (LDH) surface in situ grown ZIF-8 containing the corrosion inhibitor of 2-mercaptobenzimidazole (MBM). The shell-core structures of the composite fillers displayed the excellent barrier performance and pH-responsive controlled release properties in epoxy (EP) coatings. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and salt spray tests were conducted to investigate the multifunctional role in providing an intelligent anti-corrosion MBM@ZIF-8@LDH/EP composite coating . After immersing in salt solution (3.5 wt%) for 30 days, the impedance value of the MBM@ZIF-8@LDH/EP coating at 0.01 Hz (|Z| 0.01 Hz ) was 2.82 × 10 8 Ω∙cm 2 , which was about four orders of magnitude higher than that of the epoxy coating (1.54 × 10 4 Ω∙cm 2 ). The outstanding corrosion protection of MBM@ZIF-8@LDH was attributed to not only the compactness improvement of the composite coating, but also the anion exchange capability to act as a storage station for chloride ions. Meanwhile, the active filler could be used as a pH-responsive nanocontainer to release the loaded corrosion inhibitor of MBM and prevented further damage to the steel substrate, displaying a self-healing behavior. This strategy provides a new idea to combine perfect barrier effect and active anti-corrosion performance to prepare high-performance anti-corrosion and self-healing coatings. The multi-protective smart anti-corrosive coating would be a candidate with excellent performance for use in a variety of fields.

Realizing nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) detections based on semiconductor-based gas sensors with high tolerance to humidity conditions is deemed to be a long-term challenge. To independently acknowledge the physiosorbed-water influence mechanism on semiconductor-based sensors, hydrophobic zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) covered chemisorbed-oxygen-nonexistence zinc hydroxyfluoride (ZnOHF) snowflake-like nanorod bundles are synthesized for NO 2 detections with non-hindrance of interfering gases and high humidity in our work. Gas-sensing testing results display that the 0.6ZIF-8/ZnOHF-based gas sensor provides an optimum NO 2 response of 12.1–10 ppm NO 2 at the operating temperature of 200 ℃ with excellent NO 2 selectivity. As the relative humidity (RH) increases from 20% RH to 80% RH, the response of the 0.6ZIF-8/ZnOHF sensor shows a marginal fluctuation of only 13%, exhibiting outstanding anti-humidity characteristics towards NO 2 detections, the outperformed NO 2 selectivity and humidity tolerance of which are greatly attributed to the unique band structures of ZnOHF and the surficial hydrophobic treatment by ZIF-8, which is further validated via In-situ diffuse reflection infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy ( In-situ DRIFTS) and electronic structure analyses. Humidity impact on ZnOHF poses a persuasive evidence for establishing the separate physiosorbed water interfering mechanism on semiconductors. This work endows a perspective on optimizing humidity tolerance for semiconductor-based sensors at low operating temperature.

The coexistence of dopamine (DA) and acetaminophen (AC) in living organisms leading to an unexpected mutual interference in electrochemical detection techniques demands a simultaneous, selective as well as simple and cost-effective approach for DA and AC. Herein, a novel nanocomposite was fabricated by integrating carbonized ZIF-67 (C-ZIF-67) with carbon black Super P (SP) and introduced onto a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) to form a highly sensitive electrochemical sensor (C-ZIF-67/SP/GCE) for the simultaneous determination of DA and AC. The well-prepared nanomaterial presents a polyhedral morphology interlaced on a reticulated chain. C-ZIF-67/SP/GCE shows excellent electrocatalytic activity towards the redox reactions of DA and AC in a dynamic linear range up to 100 μM, which could be attributed to the synergistic effect of the large specific surface area of C-ZIF67 and the excellent conductivity of SP. The limits of detection (LODs, S/N = 3) of 0.58 μM and 0.27 μM were obtained for DA and AC, respectively. Moreover, the developed sensor exhibited good reproducibility and long-term stability. The C-ZIF-67/SP/GCE was employed to analyze DA and AC biomedical samples and satisfactory recoveries were achieved. This approach provides a simple, easy and sensitive method to detect DA and AC simultaneously and selectively.

Developing stimuli-responsive on-demand release systems is very important to effectively suppress microbial infections and excessive food decomposition. However, the commonly designed controlled release systems with a single responsiveness cannot accurately response to environmental changes in food packaging scenarios. Herein, a pH/enzyme dual-responsive active packaging was fabricated based on in situ growth of ZIF-8 nanoparticles (ZIF-8 NPs) on TEMPO-oxidized cellulose (TOCNF) film and loading with carvacrol (CAR), after that electrostatic adsorbing pectin as “gatekeeper” for fruit preservation. The developed CAR@ZIF-8/TOCNF/Pec film was able to respond to acidic condition and pectinase produced by microorganisms in the case of fungal infections during food storage, thus possessing a dual-responsive controlled-release function. The release rate of CAR reached approximately 86.83 ± 1.82 % at pH = 5.0 and reached 88.65 ± 1.86 % in the presence of pectinase (1.0 mg/mL) after 168 h. In addition, the CAR@ZIF-8/TOCNF/Pec film performed superior inhibition efficacy against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus , and Aspergillus niger . The CAR@ZIF-8/TOCNF/Pec film were highly effective in preserving the freshness of fungus-inoculated raspberries and mangoes, and inhibited the spread of fungal spores during storage for 5 and 7 days, respectively. Therefore, this work provided a promising, smart and eco-friendly strategy for on-demand and precise release of bioactive ingredients during food storage and preservation.

Methods based on photoelectrochemical immunoassay have been utilized for the quantitative monitoring of neuron-specific antigen (NSE) with neuroblastoma patients, but most provide only low sensitivity. In this contribution, a simple and feasible photoelectrochemical immunoassay based on ZIF-8-derived double-shelled hollow ZnS nanocages (ZnS NCs) was applied to the split-type photocurrent measurement of NSE in biological fluids, accompanied by an enzyme-catalyzed system for synergistic amplification. Glucose oxidase (GOx)-labeled anti-NSE secondary antibody was utilized to form a sandwiched immunoreaction on capture antibody-coated microplate, whereas ZnS NCs with strong and stable photocurrents were employed to generate the detectable photocurrent. Subsequently, GOx catalyzed the glucose substrate to produce hydrogen peroxide, thereby causing the change in the photocurrent of double-shelled hollow ZnS nanocages. Followed by optimizing experimental conditions, the photoelectrochemical immunoassay displayed good photocurrent responses within the dynamic range 1.0–10000 pg mL −1 at a low detection limit of 0.59 pg mL −1 NSE. Good reproducibility and high specificity were acquired for determination of NSE standards. Such a highly favourable analytical performance could be achieved even in human serum samples at different dilutions.

The inherent hydrophobicity of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) ultrafiltration membranes leads to severe membrane fouling when processing proteinaceous solutions and organic contaminants, significantly limiting their practical applications. This study presents a novel metal-ion mediated co-deposition strategy for fabricating high-performance antifouling poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) hollow fiber ultrafiltration membranes. Through Zn2+coordination-driven self-assembly, a uniform and stable composite coating of dopamine (DA), tannic acid (TA), and ZIF-8 nanoparticles was successfully constructed on the membrane surface under mild conditions. The modified membrane exhibited significantly enhanced hydrophilicity, with a water contact angle of 21° and zeta potential of −29.68 mV, facilitating the formation of a dense hydration layer that effectively prevented protein adhesion. The membrane demonstrated exceptional separation performance, achieving a pure water permeability of 771 L/(m2∙h∙bar) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) rejection of 97.7%. Furthermore, it showed outstanding antifouling capability with flux recovery rates exceeding 83.6%, 74.7%, and 71.5% after fouling by BSA, lysozyme, and ovalbumin, respectively. xDLVO analysis revealed substantially increased interfacial free energy and stronger repulsive interactions between the modified surface and protein foulants. The antifouling mechanism was attributed to the synergistic effects of hydration layer formation, optimized pore structure, additional water transport pathways from ZIF-8 incorporation, and electrostatic repulsion from negatively charged surface groups. This work provides valuable insights into the rational design of high-performance antifouling membranes for sustainable water treatment and protein separation applications.

ZIF-8, a subclass of metal organic frameworks (MOFs), was employed as the CuO carriers because of its high surface areas and good dispersibility. A novel antibacterial agent CuO@ZIF-8 was synthesized by environmentally-friendly direct calcination strategy, and introduced into the composite double-layer films for packing materials. The double-layer films were prepared via solution casting method with polylactic acid (PLA) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-quaternary ammonium chitosan as the matrix of outer layer and inner layer, respectively; and CuO@ZIF-8 nanoparticles were introduced into the PVA-quaternary ammonium chitosan layer. The double-layer films exhibited superior antibacterial activity resulted from the uniform dispersion of CuO by ZIF-8 carriers. The elongation at break was enhanced and up to 17.13%, about 2.4-fold that of PLA films. Meanwhile, the films provided low water vapor permeability and strong UV-barrier ability which were attributed to the lay-by-layer casting, CuO@ZIF-8 doping and TiO 2 addition. Cherry tomato preservation experiment revealed that the composite films retarded the growth of harmful microorganisms on the fruit surface. MTT assay confirmed the cytocompatibility of the films. The easily fabricated double-layer films presented potential possibility in the field of biodegradable food packaging.

Herein we report a facile bottom-up strategy to prepare highly dispersed supported Co 3 O 4 on N-doped Porous Carbon (NPC). Specifically, ZIF-67 (ZIF = Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks) microcrystals firstly grow on benzoic acid modified covalent organic framework (BFC), resulting in ZIF-67/COF composite. Subsequently, highly dispersed Co 3 O 4 /NPC was obtained via the calcination of ZIF-67/COF. Interestingly, high dispersion of supported Co 3 O 4 is dominated by homogeneous distribution of benzoic acid auchoring on nanoporous COF . More notably, largely triggered by the porosity and confining effect of COF , the resultant Co 3 O 4 /NPC features highly active crystal plane and a large specific surface area of 228.0 m 2 /g. Furthermore, the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) measurement results demonstrated that highly dispersed Co 3 O 4 /NPC features good catalytic activity (330 mV overpotential at 10 mA.cm −2 , 79 mV.dec −1 Tafel slope and mass activity of 130 A.g −1 at overpotential of 400 mV) and durable stability, superior to currently available counterparts. Moreover, Li-ion battery (LIB) tests also showed high reversible capacity (785 mA.h.g −1 at 500 mA.g −1 ) as well as excellent cycling stability and rate performance. Furthermore, Density functional theory (DFT) calculation results demonstrated that these superior OER properties can be attributed to the geometrical and electronic effects of Co 3 O 4 /NPC on activation and adsorption/desorption of reaction species.

ZIF-8-modified micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coatings have attracted considerable attention for improving the corrosion resistance of aluminum alloys, owing to their combined barrier and chemical protection effects. In this work, ZIF-8/MAO composite coatings were fabricated via in situ solvothermal growth, and the effects of solvothermal temperature and time on coating evolution and corrosion performance were systematically investigated. The coatings were characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The results show that increasing the solvothermal temperature promotes ZIF-8 formation, which may be related to enhanced coordination reactions and particle growth. Prolonging the solvothermal time induces a transition from ZnO-dominated coatings at 8 h to ZIF-8-dominated structures at 16–24 h, whereas unconverted ZnO is still detected after prolonged growth. The in situ-grown ZIF-8 particles cover the MAO surface and contribute to the sealing of surface micropores and cracks, forming a more compact composite barrier structure. The reduced coating performance at 220 °C or after 32 h may be associated with excessive particle refinement, local structural imperfections, or reduced coating integrity under prolonged or high-temperature solvothermal conditions. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) results reveal that the composite coating exhibits a charge transfer resistance more than one order of magnitude higher than that of the bare MAO coating, indicating significantly enhanced barrier protection. These findings demonstrate that in situ-grown ZIF-8 is an effective strategy for improving the corrosion resistance of MAO coatings on aluminum alloys.

Sustainable management of plant bacterial diseases calls for delivery systems that minimize reliance on conventional synthetic pesticides while improving deposition efficiency, on-demand release, and environmental compatibility. This study employs a coordination-driven hollowing strategy to construct interface-optimized hollow metal–phenolic nanocarrier (NaSA@PDA@ZIF-8), achieving synergistic loading of sodium salicylate and Zn 2+ . PDA-induced etching of ZIF-8 generates a well-defined hollow architecture while enhancing hydrophilicity and colloidal stability. The optimized nanocarrier, obtained via Box–Behnken response surface design, achieves a NaSA loading content of 23.90%. Regarding interfacial performance, the carrier exhibits significantly optimized wetting behavior with a contact angle reduced to 51.15°, enhanced dynamic spreading speed, and outstanding leaf adhesion and rain-wash resistance, ensuring effective retention and utilization in complex field environments. Under simulated bacterial wilt conditions in tobacco (acidic pH 5.0 and elevated temperature of 35 °C), the system exhibited enhanced release behavior. The cumulative release of NaSA reached 81.72% and 83.40%, while Zn 2+ release reached 23.19% and 18.72%, indicating good responsiveness to disease-relevant microenvironmental conditions. Its antibacterial activity (EC 50 = 17.80 mg·L -1 ) is likely associated with multiple contributing factors, including Zn 2+ release, potential ROS generation mediated by PDA, and NaSA-related activation of plant defense responses. This work demonstrates a hollow metal–phenolic nanoplatform that integrates interfacial adhesion, stimuli-responsive co-delivery, and biosafety, providing a multifunctional reference model for green plant protection.
