Aromatic poly(m-phenyleneisophthalamide) (PMIA) and the metal-organic framework (MOF) MIL-53(Al) were employed as the polymer matrix and additive, respectively, to develop mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) via non-solvent induced phase separation for potential application in organic solvent nanofiltration. The prepared membranes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and water contact angle measurements. The membrane water permeance enhanced when MIL-53(Al) was incorporated into the membrane structure while the rejection had no significant change. The optimum MMM (with 0.5 wt% MOF concentration) passes mono and bivalent inorganic salts but rejects larger charged organic molecules and has a mean effective pore size of 0.7 nm. The influence of organic solvents on MMM performance was also investigated and the result shows that the performance shifts towards a lower pure water permeance and a higher rejection after exposure to organic solvents (ethyl acetate or methanol). The membrane performance in organic solvent nanofiltration was evaluated on the basis of the permeance and rejection of brilliant blue G in ethanol, and the result showed that the permeance of MMMs significantly increased (by 289%) while the rejection slightly reduced by 4% in contrast to the pure membrane.

The flexible metal-organic framework MIL-53(Cr) has been demonstrated to be an efficient adsorbent for liquid phase adsorption and separation, while the effect of this attractive “breathing effect” on its performance remains uncertain. In this research, by increasing the amount of introduced water, MIL-53(Cr) first shrank into a narrow pore form through bound water and then reopened due to the introduction of free water. Using MIL-53(Cr) with diverse amounts of water as an adsorbent, the liquid-phase adsorption and separation of C8 aromatics, including o -xylene (OX), p -xylene (PX), m -xylene (MX) and ethylbenzene (EB), was manipulated by the pre-adsorbed water in MIL-53(Cr). Pre-adsorbing water in MIL-53(Cr) induced a preference reversal between MX and PX, where dry samples preferentially adsorbed MX, while high-water-addition samples preferred PX instead. In addition, the reopened MIL-53(Cr) with high water addition hardly adsorbed EB, thereby increasing the selectivity of xylene isomers to EB. A longer equilibrium time was observed on MIL-53(Cr) with high water addition, during which the adsorption preference shifted from OX to MX to PX. Further molecular simulation provided a microscopic explanation that water molecules in the pores tended to package around MX and EB, hindering their interaction with frameworks or other adsorbates.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted tremendous interest as photocatalysis for the destruction of organic contaminants. Herein, we synthesize a Fe-based MOF namely MIL-53(Fe), combined with Fe(III) and percarbonate, exhibits photocatalytic activity for the destruction of Sulfamethazine (SMT) under visible LED light irradiation. The morphology and physicochemical properties of the MIL-53(Fe) were determined using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectra (EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL). The results indicated that the photocatalytic performance of MIL-53(Fe) with unsatisfactory efficiency resulted from the rapid recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes. This may be suppressed through the introduction of an external electron acceptor (e.g., Fe(III) and percarbonate) to the catalytic process. It could be seen that the SMT degradation efficiency in the system of Vis/MIL-53(Fe)/Fe(III)/SPC attained nearly 90% within 60 min, while only 12% achieved in the system of Vis/MIL-53(Fe). The quenching experiments and EPR analysis were employed to illuminate the predominant reactive species in the system of Vis/MIL-53(Fe)/Fe(III)/SPC. It must be mentioned that the higher separation efficiency of photoinduced electron- hole pairs was achieved via the addition of Fe(III). The accelerated photocatalytic degradation of SMT could be attributed to the subsequent formation of reactive species, which were generated from the activation of SPS by Fe(II) reduced from Fe(III) in the Vis/MIL-53(Fe)/Fe(III)/SPC system. Furthermore, the mineralization of SMT was systematically investigated, as well as the effects of operating parameters (e.g., the dose of catalyst, the concentration of Fe(III), and pH). The work has expanded the possibility of MOFs as visible light responsive photocatalysts together with percarbonate for the remediation of contaminated water.

An efficient visible light responsive ZnIn 2 S 4 @NH 2 -MIL-53(Fe/Co 0.75 ) nanocomposite was prepared for photocatalytic hydrogen production application. Under visible light irradiation, the ZnIn 2 S 4 @NH 2 -MIL-53(Fe/Co 0.75 ) photocatalyst displayed improved photocatalytic performance and the hydrogen production rate reached to 161724.8 μmol/g in 6 h. The nanocomposite with large specific surface area and mesoporous structure increased the light absorption, improved the electrons transfer and suppressed the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, thus exhibiting efficient photocatalytic hydrogen production performance. The controllable synthesis of ZnIn 2 S 4 @NH 2 -MIL-53(Fe/Co 0.75 ) nanocomposite as a high-efficiency photocatalyst would have broad prospect for water splitting hydrogen production application.

The development of efficient electrocatalysts through heterostructure engineering is crucial for boosting the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) kinetics. Herein, we demonstrate a hierarchical MIL-53/NiCu-LDH(12) heterostructure in-situ grown on nickel foam (NF), where the MIL-53 component is controllably constructed on NiCu-LDH/NF to establish robust interfacial contact and electronic coupling. This multi-level architecture synergistically endows the catalyst with enlarged electrochemical active surface area, abundant accessible active sites, accelerated electron transfer kinetics, and reduced band gap. Remarkably, operando characterization reveals that the heterojunction undergoes partial structural reconstruction during OER to generate γ-FeOOH/γ-NiOOH active phases. The formed Fe-O-Ni bridging bonds facilitate interfacial charge redistribution, which effectively modulates the electronic configuration and optimizes reaction intermediates adsorption. Benefiting from these merits, the MIL-53/NiCu-LDH(12)/NF electrode delivers exceptional alkaline OER performance, requiring ultralow overpotentials of 160 and 226 mV to achieve current densities of 10 and 100 mA cm −2 , respectively, along with a small Tafel slope of 42 mV dec −1 . This work proposes an innovative strategy integrating hierarchical architecture design with interfacial electronic modulation for developing advanced transition metal-based OER electrocatalysts.

A general synthetic strategy for HS-Fe 3 O 4 @MIL-53(Al) adsorbent has been developed in this work. The composite material exhibits an efficient capture performance for rubidium ion due to sulfhydryl group and magnetic Fe 3 O 4 doped in its porous cavity. The results of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and N 2 adsorption–desorption proved that the HS-Fe 3 O 4 was immobilized in the composite material. High Rb + uptake capacity over the HS-Fe 3 O 4 @MIL-53(Al) is attributed to the exchange of acidic protons between the sulfhydryl group and the Rb + . The pseudo-second-order and Freundlich model could make a good description of the adsorption process. The Rb + sorption selectivity was moderately influenced by any co-ions effect (K + , Na + and Cs + ) due to HS-Fe 3 O 4 doped. These results reveal that our novel composite material might be a promising industrial adsorbent for Rb + capture.

Graphdiyne (g-CnH2n–2) is a new carbon material composed of sp and sp2 hybrid carbon atoms. Since the synthesis by Li’s team, graphdiyne has been widely studied in other fields because of its excellent properties. In this paper, graphdiyne was synthesized from copper-containing materials and the composite GDY/CuI/MIL-53(Al) S-scheme heterojunction is prepared for photocatalytic cracking of water to produce hydrogen. First, GDY/CuI was prepared by organic synthesis, and then GDY/CuI was anchored on the surface of MIL-53(Al) by in situ ultrasonic stirring. After the continuous optimization of experimental conditions, the final hydrogen evolution rate is much higher than that of MIL-53(Al). This efficient photocatalytic performance can be attributed to the S-scheme heterojunction formed by the unique energy band arrangement. At the same time, the mechanism of charge transfer was demonstrated by in situ irradiation X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The strong interaction among the three strongly promotes the separation and transfer of photogenerated electron–hole pairs.

It is important to find an effective way to enhance the photocatalytic efficiency of metal–organic frameworks. In this work, an organic supermolecule perylene diimide (PDI) semiconductor with a carboxyl terminal was added into the synthesis process of MIL-53(Fe) crystals. The PDI/MIL-53(Fe) (PM) composite photocatalyst was first obtained. The TC-H photodegradation rate of the most efficient 5PM was nearly 94.08% within 30 min, whose apparent reaction rate constant (k) is 4 times that of PDI and 33 times that of MIL-53(Fe), respectively. By investigation and characterization, it has been found that PDI nanofibers were dispersed and fixed in MIL-53(Fe) and bonded to each other by covalent bonds. The radical trap experiments and electron spin resonance analysis illustrated that hydroxyl radical (·OH), superoxide radical (·O2–), and photogenerated holes (h+) were active species. Combined with the band structure of PDI and MIL-53(Fe), it is proposed that the PM photocatalyst was a Z-scheme heterojunction mechanism. Therefore, PM photocatalysts showed excellent charge separation and transfer ability. The performance improvement of 5PM is due to enhanced visible light absorption, efficient charge separation, and excellent redox potential. Five cyclic photocatalytic tests and experiments further demonstrate that the 5PM photocatalyst has a promising future for pollutant removal.

The construction of ternary heterojunction photocatalysts can achieve multi-gradient transfer of charges and accurate control the position of photogenerated electrons which has received increasing attention. In this paper, NH 2 -MIL-53(Al)@BiOBr@CQDs-10 % (ABCQDs-10 %) was prepared via a facile hydrothermal and chemical synthesis processes. Three-dimensional serration of NH 2 -MIL-53(Al) as a platform for irregular BiOBr nanosheets, CQDs promote interfacial contact and act as electron transport channels between BiOBr and NH 2 -MIL-53(Al) and constitute Z-type heterojunctions with high redox properties. ABCQDs-10 % shows the best photocatalytic removal efficiency (94.24 %) of CIP, the reaction rate constants (0.045 min −1 ) were 1.2 and 64 times higher than BiOBr and NH 2 -MIL-53(Al), respectively. The excellent degradation performance is attributed to the construction of Z-type heterojunction of NH 2 -MIL-53(Al)@BiOBr@CQDs which improve electron-hole separation and transfer efficiency. The main active species was •O 2 - . The photocatalytic activity of ABCQDs-10 % had not obvious loss after cycle experiments and the crystal structure had no significant changes, means high stable photocatalytic activity.

Tetracycline detection has been a great concern because of its overuse and difficulty in degrading. Here, a detection method with ratio fluorescence was developed by synthesizing Eu3+ doped nanocomposites with NH2-MIL-53(Al) nanosheets. After adding tetracycline, the fluorescence intensity at 616 nm characteristic emission peak of Eu3+ was sensitized by the antenna effect generated from coordinating Eu3+ with tetracycline, but the fluorescence of NH2-MIL-53(Al) at 433 nm was quenched by the fluorescence resonance energy transfer between the Eu3+-tetracycline composition and NH2-MIL-53(Al). Therefore, the efficient detection of tetracycline was achieved based on this change of ratio fluorescence signal. The experimental results show that Eu3+/NH2-MIL-53(Al) has excellent selectivity, a wider linear range and a lower detection limit for detecting tetracycline. This method can afford favorable ideas for developing advanced chemical and biological sensors.

A thin film of MIL-53(Al) on the activated Al slice has been prepared successfully. The crystals in the films exhibit high phase purity and a preferential orientation with straight channel network (or (h0l) planes) of the crystals parallel to the support surface, which are studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The loading of organic (2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-pyridine) (PP) fluorescent molecules in the film has been accomplished. The behaviours of the fluorescent molecules assembled in the pores of the oriented crystals are probed by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and fluorescence spectroscopies.

Nano-sized NH 2 -MIL-53(Al) particles were conveniently synthesized in aqueous solution at ambient temperature with a widely applicable mixing method, and the morphology and character were examined with a series of techniques. XRD patterns and TEM images showed that the obtained NH 2 -MIL-53(Al) material possessed rod-like shape, which is different from those obtained from N, N-dimethyl formamide (DMF). This nano-sized NH 2 -MIL-53(Al) matrix displayed enhanced efficiency for adsorptive elimination of methyl blue molecules in aqueous solution.
