Metal or metal oxides with diverse superstructures have become one of the most promising functional materials in sensor, catalysis, energy conversion, etc. In this work, a novel metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)-directed method to prepare metal or metal oxide superstructure was proposed. In this strategy, nodes (metal ions) in MOFs as precursors to form ordered building blocks which are spatially separated by organic linkers were transformed into metal oxide micro/nanostructure by a green method. Two kinds of Cu-MOFs which could reciprocally transform by changing solvent were prepared as a model to test the method. Two kinds of novel CuO with three-dimensional (3D) urchin-like and 3D rods-like superstructures composed of nanoparticles, nanowires and nanosheets were both obtained by immersing the corresponding Cu-MOFs into a NaOH solution. Based on the as-formed CuO superstructures, a novel and sensitive nonenzymatic glucose sensor was developed. The small size, hierarchical superstructures and large surface area of the resulted CuO superstructures eventually contribute to good electrocatalytic activity of the prepared sensor towards the oxidation of glucose. The proposed method of hierarchical superstructures preparation is simple, efficient, cheap and easy to mass production, which is obviously superior to pyrolysis. It might open up a new way for hierarchical superstructures preparation.

Due to the ultra-weak and instantaneous chemiluminescence (CL) of luminol–H 2 O 2 system, developing new catalysts to dramatically enhance and produce persistent CL emission is crucial. In this study, the Cu-metal-organic frameworks (Cu–MOFs) with flower morphology converted from Cu-based metal-organic gels (Cu–MOGs) could catalyze luminol–H 2 O 2 system, exhibiting persistent CL. The possible mechanism of this persistent emission of luminol was attributed to the gradual generation of OH˙, O 2 ˙ − and 1 O 2 in Cu–MOFs–catalyzed luminol–H 2 O 2 system. In addition, OH˙ and O 2 ˙− were continuously recombined into singlet oxygen on the surface of Cu–MOFs which further prolonged the duration time of the CL leading to the persistent emission, due to the longer lifetime of 1 O 2 compared to OH˙ and O 2 ˙ − . Furthermore, based on the high-intensity emission of Cu–MOFs–catalyzed luminol–H 2 O 2 system, the strategy for sensitive response to quercetin was established with good linearity within the range of 0.05–1.2 μM and a detection limit of 49.7 nM. This study provides a new idea for developing persistent CL catalysts.

Two nano metal-organic frameworks (NMOFs), [Cu(2,6-dmy-3,5-pyda) 4 ] n (namely Cu-MOFs) and {[Zn(2,6-dmy-3,5-pyda) 2 (4,4′-bipy) (H 2 O)]•H 2 O} n (namely Zn-MOFs) with the unsaturated metal sites were hydrophobically modified by octadecylphosphonic acid (OPA) to prepare MOFs/OPA hydrophobic composites, which were added as hydrophobic additives to the epoxy (EP) coating to prepare Cu-MOFs/OPA/EP and Zn-MOFs/OPA/EP anticorrosion coating. The corrosion protection behavior of these coatings was examined in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution by using EIS, the capacitive arc of the coating modified with Cu-MOFs/OPA and Zn-MOFs/OPA was larger than EP, and R p increases from 1.283 × 10 7 to 6.111 × 10 8 and 7.415 × 10 8 , respectively. The two anticorrosion coatings showed higher impedance modulus values in low frequency region. All the study results proved that both Cu-MOFs/OPA and Zn-MOFs/OPA composite materials with the EP coating provided a very strong barrier and shielding effect, and have the ability to enhance the anticorrosive performance of the epoxy coating

A series of graphene-modified copper–metal–organic framework composites (G-Cu-MOF-0.3, G-Cu-MOF-0.5, G-Cu-MOF-1) were fabricated via a solvothermal method. Structural characterizations verified that graphene was successfully composited without damaging the Cu-MOF crystalline framework, among the four materials, G-Cu-MOF-0.5 exhibits the largest specific surface area and pore size. Electrochemical results showed that G-Cu-MOF-0.5 displayed the best CO₂ electroreduction performance, with a current density of − 11 mA cm⁻², a double-layer capacitance (Cdl) of 4.97 mF cm⁻² and a Tafel slope value of 36.5 mV dec⁻¹. At − 1.5 V vs. RHE, the total Faradaic efficiency for CH₄ and CO reached 24% with stable operation over 12 h. Graphene modification significantly improves the conductivity, active site density, and structural stability of Cu-MOF, realizing efficient and controllable CO 2 conversion to C1 products. The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) remains the dominant side reaction, and the Faradaic efficiency toward CH 4 is still moderate, leaving room for further selectivity optimization.This work provides a feasible strategy for designing MOF–carbon composites for electrocatalytic CO₂ reduction to methane.

The catalyst materials 0N-Cu-MOF, 1N-Cu-MOF, and 2N-Cu-MOF were successfully synthesized usinga solvothermal method, and using different concentrations of nitrogen-modified Cu organic frameworks (xN-Cu-MOF). Characterizations using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analysis showed that 1N-Cu-MOF had the largest SSA and pore size among the three materials synthesized. 1N-Cu-MOF exhibited the largest pore size and specific surface area among the three materials, which had a decisive effect on CO2 reduction. In addition, stability and CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) activity were evaluated by linear sweep voltmeter, cyclic voltmeter, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and time flow tests. Faradaic efficiency (FE) was determined by product analysis. Among the three catalyst materials, 1N-Cu-MOF showed the best catalytic performance at 50 mA·cm-2 (maximum current density). The charge transfer resistance was 8.23 Ω, the average current density was 19.9 mA·cm-2, and the FE of methane (CH4) production showed a high efficiency of 70.45 % when tested for 12 h at an overpotential of -0.35 V (to-RHE).

Mucin 1 protein (MUC1) is a well-known tumor marker overexpressed in a variety of human malignancies, and thus its highly selective and sensitive detection is significantly desired for clinical diagnostics. Herein, a sensitive electrochemical MUC1 sensing platform has been fabricated based on copper-based metal-organic frameworks (Cu-MOFs) decorated with gold-platinum alloy nanoparticles (AuPt NPs). Besides serving as a redox probe to avoid introducing extra redox media, the electroactive Cu-MOFs function as catalysts in the hydrogen peroxide reduction, resulting in electrochemical signal amplification. Meanwhile, AuPt NPs loaded on the Cu-MOFs mimic horseradish peroxidase to promote the reduction of hydrogen peroxide, giving rise to the secondary-amplified electrochemical signal. Moreover, the target MUC1 triggered catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) further improves the sensitivity of the developed biosensor via the target recycling amplification. The constructed sensing platform displayed a desirable dynamic range between 10 fM and 10 nM in the MUC1 detection, with a sufficiently low limit-of-detection (3.33 fM). The current strategy of utilizing hybrid nanocomposite consisting of MOFs and alloy NPs and enzyme-free CHA provides a promising platform for the detection of biomarkers in the clinical diagnosis with high selectivity and sensitivity.

Modulating the release of Cu(I) ions from copper-based antifoulants is of notable engineering and scientific importance. However, this approach remains challenging because of a lack of valence-stabilizing protection strategies for Cu(I) sites and the poorly characterized releasing behavior of Cu(I) ions. To address these issues, a novel multivalent antifoulant Cu(I, II)-metal–organic framework (Cu(I, II)-BTC; BTC: 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate) was synthesized via an in situ reduction of Cu(II)-BTC under mild conditions. The framework structure of Cu(I, II)-BTC was examined in detail using X-ray diffraction, N 2 sorption analysis, and transmission electron microscopy–selected-area electron diffraction. For the first time, the release behavior of Cu(I) from Cu(I, II)-BTC submerged in seawater was characterized by ultraviolet–visible spectrophotometry. The chemical state of the copper sites in the Cu(I, II)-BTC complex was determined before and after submersion in fresh seawater to investigate whether the framework structure facilitated the retention of Cu(I) ions. Further, the bactericidal activity of Cu(I, II)-BTC was evaluated by measuring the intracellular reactive oxygen species levels to reveal the biocidal effect of the released Cu(I) ions. Finally, the antifouling performance of the resulting Cu(I, II)-BTC-based antifouling coating was comprehensively evaluated via laboratory bioassays (using fouling bacteria and barnacle larvae as test organisms) and long-term marine field trials. This study offers viable avenues for designing novel antifoulants and developing an in-depth understanding of the copper-mediated antifouling process.

Addressing the low surface area and high charge recombination of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ), this study employs a synergistic carboxylation and MOF-loading strategy. Copper-based MOF (Cu-MOF) was uniformly loaded onto carboxylated spherical g-C 3 N 4 (C 3 N 4 –C) via a solvothermal method, creating a visible-light-responsive C 3 N 4 –C-MOF photocatalyst. Material characterization results indicate that the characteristic peak at 1632 cm −1 in the Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy confirms the successful grafting of 4-carboxybenzoic acid (4-CBA). Carboxylation enhanced hydrophilicity and optimized surface charge, improving reactant adsorption. Photoelectrochemical tests showed significantly boosted visible light absorption, increased photocurrent density, and reduced EIS arc radius, confirming efficient interfacial charge separation. Photocatalytic hydrogen production experiments revealed that under simulated solar irradiation, the hydrogen production rate of C 3 N 4 –C-MOF2.0 reached up to 12.68 mmol g −1 h −1 , representing an approximately 1.68-fold increase compared to the unmodified C 3 N 4 -MOF. This work provides a novel approach for designing MOF/functionalized g-C 3 N 4 composites, advancing solar-driven hydrogen production.

The development of reliable sensing platforms for the simultaneous detection of multiple heavy metal ions has remained challenging in environmental monitoring. Herein, a novel ratiometric electrochemical sensor was developed using a Cu-MOFs@MnO 2 NSs composite for the simultaneous quantification of Pb 2+ and Hg 2+ . The composite was synthesized through a facile approach and functionalized onto a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) to establish an efficient sensing interface. This design capitalized on the synergistic properties of both components: MnO 2 nanosheets provided abundant surface hydroxyl groups and enhanced electrical conductivity, while Cu-MOFs contributed a large specific surface area with multiple binding sites for metal ion enrichment. Significantly, the incorporated Cu-MOFs functioned as an internal reference, delivering a stable built-in signal for ratiometric analysis. The developed sensor achieved impressive detection limits of 22.69 nmol/L for Pb 2+ and 30.07 nmol/L for Hg 2+ , while maintaining high selectivity and reproducibility in complex matrices. This study not only established a reliable platform for the accurate detection of Pb 2+ and Hg 2+ but also promoted the adoption of ratiometric strategies in electrochemical sensing to support environmental protection and public health security.

Most metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are synthesized from carboxylate and metal precursors by hydrothermal process, which will consume a large amount of solvent and carboxylate. To address this issue, a new strategy for Cu-based MOFs was developed, in which the Cu-based MOFs was obtained by using abundant natural polymer (tannic acid) as one of the precursors and using high-energy ball milling to achieve a self-assembly of tannic acid and copper sulfate. Based on this strategy, a novel Cu-based MOFs derivative (Cu x O@C composite) was synthesized by high-temperature sintering of Cu-based MOFs and used for sulfamerazine (SMR) removal via O 2 activation. The BET specific surface area and average pore size of Cu x O@C composite were 110.34 m 2 g −1 and 21.06 nm, respectively, which made Cu x O@C composite had the maximum adsorption capacity ( Q max ) for SMR of 104.65 mg g −1 and favored the subsequent degradation of SMR. The results from XRD and XPS indicated that Cu x O@C composite contained a lot of Cu 0 and Cu 2 O with the sizes of 76.6 nm and 9.8 nm, respectively, which led to its high performance of O 2 activation. The removal efficiency of SMR and 90.2% TOC achieved 100% and 90.2%, respectively in the Cu x O@C/air system at initial pH of 4.0, air flow rate of 100 mL min −1 , Cu x O@C dosage of 1 g L −1 and reaction time of 30 min. Reactive species, including H 2 O 2 , OH and O 2 - radicals were detected in the Cu x O@C/air system, and OH and O 2 - were mainly responsible for the degradation of SMR.

In this study, a novel electrochemical sensor was designed to detect luteolin (Lu) with the composite of gold nanoparticles and nickel phthalocyanine-based 2D conductive metal-organic frameworks (Au NPs@NiPc-Cu MOFs) for the first time. The NiPc-Cu MOFs exhibit excellent conductivity, large specific surface area, and porous structure, which can accelerate the mass transfer process of target molecules. To further improve the sensitivity of the sensing platform, Au NPs with outstanding conductivity were introduced to the surface of NiPc-Cu MOFs to prepare Au NPs@NiPc-Cu MOFs. The synergistic effect of NiPc-Cu MOFs and Au NPs endows the sensor with excellent electrocatalytic performance and outstanding sensitivity. Under optimal conditions, the electrochemical sensor has a wide linear range (0.1–40 μM). Moreover, the prepared sensor possesses good stability and anti-interference ability. This method does not require complicated sample pretreatment, simple operation, and short detection time, which can provide a new method for the rapid detection of Lu.

Magnesium alloys are used in ultrahigh voltage (UHV) insulator connections due to their high specific strength, vibration damping, and shielding properties. However, their low electrochemical potential (−2.37 V) leads to porous oxide films in tidal flats, humid conditions, and salt spray environments, causing pitting and cracking. Subsequently, microorganisms attach to the surface, secreting metabolites that acidify the area in synergy with Cl − , forming biofilm-corrosion coupling and accelerating failure. To address this, we developed a porous Cu-MOFs/CuS composite coating on AZ31B magnesium alloy using a hydrothermal method (160°C, 10 h) and stearic acid modification, creating a superhydrophobic surface (contact angle of 162°). After 50 cycles of simulated sandpaper abrasion, the contact angle remained above 150°, demonstrating superior mechanical stability compared to pure Cu-MOFs coatings. Immersion tests in acids, bases, and salts, as well as dynamic potentiodynamic polarization curves, proved that the Cu-MOFs/CuS composite coating has superior acid–base-salt stability and corrosion resistance compared to a pure MOFs coating. Moreover, the Cu 2+ released from the coating show high inhibitory and antibacterial effects on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus epidermidis, significantly reducing the risk of microbially induced corrosion. This provides an innovative solution for the long-term reliable service of magnesium alloys in UHV transmission and transformation equipment.
