Toxic antibiotic effluents and antibiotic-resistant bacteria constitute a threat to global health. So, scientists are investigating high-performance materials for antibiotic decomposition and antibacterial activities. In this novel research work, we have successfully designed ZIF-8@ZIF-67 nanocomposites via sol–gel and solvothermal approaches. The ZIF-8@ZIF-67 nanocomposite is characterized by various techniques that exhibit superior surface area enhancement, charge separation, and high light absorption performance. Yet, ZIF-8 has high adsorption rates and active sites, while ZIF-67 has larger pore volume and efficient adsorption and reaction capabilities, demonstrating that the ZIF-8@ZIF-67 nanocomposite outperforms pristine ZIF-8 and ZIF-67. Compared with pristine ZIF-8 and ZIF-67, the most active 6ZIF-67@ZIF-8 nanocomposite showed higher decomposition efficacy for ciprofloxacin (65%), levofloxacin (54%), and ofloxacin (48%). Scavenger experiments confirmed that •OH, •O2–, and h+ are the most active species for the decomposition of ciprofloxacin (CIP), levofloxacin (LF), and ofloxacin (OFX), respectively. In addition, the 6ZIF-67/ZIF-8 nanocomposite suggested its potential applications in Escherichia coli for growth inhibition zone, antibacterial activity, and decreased viability. Moreover, the stability test and decomposition pathway of CIP, LF, and OFX were also proposed. Finally, our study aims to enhance the efficiency and stability of ZIF-8@ZIF-67 nanocomposite and potentially enable its applications in antibiotic decomposition, antibacterial activities, and environmental remediation.

Halonitrophenols (HNPs) are an emerging type of aromatic disinfection byproduct, with detected concentrations of ∼nmol L−1 in source water and drinking water. Currently, there are no standard methods for identifying HNPs, and most of the reported methods are time-consuming and equipment-dependent. A core–shell metal–organic framework (MOF) based electrochemical sensor (Ag/ZIF-8@ZIF-67) capable of detecting 2,6-dichloro-4-nitrophenol (2,6-DCNP) is reported in this study. The electrochemical sensor obtains the concentration of 2,6-DCNP by detecting the peak current passing through the sensor. In this sensor, Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) play a key role in electrochemical sensing by reducing nitro groups via electron transfer, and porous structure with a large surface area is offered by ZIF-8@ZIF-67. The cyclic voltammetry (CV) response of Ag/ZIF-8@ZIF-67 was found to be approximately 1.75 times and 2.23 times greater than that of Ag/ZIF-8 and Ag/ZIF-67, respectively, suggesting an ideal synergistic effect of the core–shell structures. The Ag/ZIF-8@ZIF-67 sensor exhibited exceptional sensitivity to 2,6-DCNP, exhibiting a broad linear response range (R2 = 0.992) from 240 nmol L−1 to 288 μmol L−1 and a low detection limit of 20 nmol L−1. Furthermore, the sensor exhibited good anti-interference for isomers and common distractors in water, excellent stability and reproducibility, and high recovery in actual water samples. Our reported sensor gives a novel strategy for sensitive, selective, and in situ detection of 2,6-DCNP in practical analysis.

The development of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs)-derived magnetic carbon-based materials for high-efficiency electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption has attracted widespread attention. While these MOFs-derived composites have shown exceptional performance in absorbing EMWs within the X and Ku bands, the pursuit of effective absorption at lower frequencies remains a challenge. Herein, we demonstrate a novel strategy to synthesize hollow Co@C/C rods with excellent C-band EMW absorption via acetic acid etching and pyrolysis of core–shell ZIF-8@ZIF-67. Based on acetic acid etching, ligand-deficient ZIF-8@ZIF-67 rods with abundant mesoporous structures are constructed, enabling precise control over the Co nanoparticles content, graphitization degree, and pyridinic N doping in the derived Co@C/C. This simple fine-tuning approach simultaneously reduces dipole polarization by lowering the pyridinic N doping concentration, suppresses interfacial polarization and conduction loss through reducing the number of graphitic carbon layer, and enhances magnetic loss by increasing the Co content. These combined effects collectively improve the impedance matching of Co@C/C for low-frequency absorption. Notably, as the volume of acetic acid solution increases, the absorption frequency band of Co@C/C gradually shifts from the Ku-band to the C-band, while sustaining superior EMW absorption performance. At the filling ratio of merely 11 %, the RL min values for Co@C/C-20 and Co@C/C-30 achieve −49.8 dB and −34.7 dB at 7.2 GHz and 6.8 GHz, respectively. This study offers a valuable approach to the development of lightweight materials with excellent EMW absorption in C-band.

Developing a facile and effective assay method is crucial due to the potential harm of metronidazole (MNZ) antibiotics to both human health and the environment. Herein, snowflake-shaped poly(3-thiophenemalonic acid, 3-TPA) combined with a carbonized core–shell-type ZIF-8@ZIF-67 (C-ZIF-8@ZIF-67) hollow polyhedra modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE), denoted as C-ZIF-8@ZIF-67/P3TPA/GCE, was fabricated by electropolymerization followed by the electrodeposition strategy. The resulting sensor demonstrates a significant electrocatalysis effect for the reduction reaction of MNZ, exhibiting a broad linear range (0.1–20, 20–800 μM) with a low limit of detection (LOD, 3S/N) of 0.024 μM. Furthermore, it has been successfully applied to determine MNZ in tablets and lake water. A synergistic effect between P3TPA and C-ZIF-8@ZIF-67 is elucidated through density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Consequently, this research introduces a sensitive and effective method for monitoring MNZ in real samples.

The high effective Ag/ZIF-8@ZIF-67 core-shell composite was fabricated by a convenient strategy and applied in the reduction of 4-nitrophenol. The obtained samples were fully characterized by transmission electron microcopy (TEM), element mapping, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and the like. Catalytic experiments showed that the Ag/ZIF-8@ZIF-67 exhibit superior catalytic activity in the reduction of 4-nitrophenol and another two nitroaromatic compounds. The apparent rate constant (K app ) and the conversion frequency (TOF) of Ag/ZIF-8@ZIF-67 0.4 for 4-nitrophenol were 12.22 × 10 −3 s −1 and 5.611 min −1 , respectively, and preserved high catalytic performance after four cycles. The catalytic activity of Ag/ZIF-8@ZIF-67 was significantly increased compared to Ag/ZIF-8, which was mainly attributed to the high specific surface area of ZIF-8@ZIF-67, the synergy of ZIF-8 core and ZIF-67 shell and the restriction of pores to Ag NPs.

The preparation of highly active and stable catalysts for syngas conversion is a major challenge for Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS). Herein, we report a strategy to prepare a highly dispersed Co-embedded porous carbon nanocage (CoPCN) structure derived from a core–shell metal–organic framework (MOF) ZIF-8@ZIF-67 precursor. High Co loading (over wt 30%) is achieved while maintaining an optimal dispersion and particle size of the active Co phase when a ZIF-8@ZIF-67 is pyrolyzed at 920 °C. Besides, the porous channels and hollow structures of the CoPCN strengthen the diffusion of reactants and the hydrocarbon product, enhancing the C5+ selectivity and CO conversion. The CoPCN shows high stability in FTS with a CO conversion of 18.3%, 80.2% selectivity for long-chain hydrocarbons (C5+), and 8.9% selectivity for short-chain hydrocarbons (C2–C4) after 100 h time on stream. Compared with other MOF-derived FTS catalysts, CoPCN-920 can achieve higher C5+ selectivity at a lower reaction temperature. The present work uncovers the relationship between the porous structure and catalytic performance, providing an efficient method to prepare promising materials for enhanced FTS stability, activity, and selectivity.

In this study, a novel metal-organic framework (M-ZIF-8@ZIF-67) was successfully prepared using the single layer Fe 3 O 4 -ZIF-8 as magnetic core and wrapped a layer of ZIF-67 outer. This M-ZIF-8@ZIF-67 was employed as an adsorbent for the adsorption and removal of fipronil and its metabolites from environmental water and cucumber samples. The characterization results suggested that M-ZIF-8@ZIF-67 has the double layer structure a polyhedral structure with uniform pores, while ZIF-67 was successfully coated on the surface of Fe 3 O 4 -ZIF-8. The unique structure endowed M-ZIF-8@ZIF-67 a high surface area (219 m 2 /g) and high adsorption capacity for fipronil, fipronil desulfinyl, fipronil sulfide and fipronil sulfone. To our knowledge, this is the first report detailing the adsorption properties of M-ZIF-8@ZIF-67 with double layer structure relating to the adsorption and removal of pesticides. Furthermore, the adsorption model analysis demonstrated that the static adsorption data fitted the Freundlich bimolecular layer adsorption model better than the Langmuir monolayer adsorption model. This study indicates that M-ZIF-8@ZIF-67 has significant potential in the adsorption and removal of fipronil and its metabolites in water and vegetable samples.

In the pursuit of chiral materials with significant chiral recognition effects and stability, various strategies have been explored, among which the integration of metal nanoparticles and chiral metal–organic frameworks (CMOFs) is highly promising. However, metal nanoparticles (MNPs)/CMOFs show high chiral properties but inferior stabilities due to the MNPs being easily detached from the outside layer under certain conditions. Sandwich MOFs@MNPs@CMOF chiral materials can overcome this dilemma because the sandwich structure can maximize the regulation of the chiral interface activity, while the controlled outer layer can stop the MNPs from falling off in the procedure of chiral recognition. Here, a novel sandwich chiral material (d-His-ZIF-8@Au@ZIF-8) was synthesized by a ligand-assisted strategy with a well-defined sandwich morphology and chiral recognition capabilities. The electrochemical chiral recognition showed that d-His-ZIF-8@Au@ZIF-8 was the most efficient for the enantiomer of phenylalanine (Phe). This experiment presents a novel perspective for the fabrication of a chiral electrochemical sensing platform based on a solid sandwich chiral nanocomposite.

Bacterial infections pose a significant threat to global public health, and the presence of bacterial biofilms complicates the treatment of these infections. Therefore, the development of materials with both antibacterial and antibiofilm properties is crucial. In this study, we designed a composite material that combines chemical and photothermal antibacterial functions using a zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) and protocatechuic acid (PCA). PCA-ZIF was synthesized by immersing ZIF-8 in a PCA solution, followed by surface encapsulation with polydopamine (PDA) through dopamine polymerization to enhance its photothermal therapy potential. This process yielded PCA-ZIF@PDA, which can generate localized hyperthermia and gradually release PCA to achieve multimodal antibacterial activity. The structure of the composite was characterized using XRD, FTIR, SEM, and BET, and its photothermal performance under 808 nm laser irradiation, drug release profile, and in vitro antibacterial efficacy were also evaluated. The results indicated that the immersion of PCA did not alter the crystal structure of ZIF-8, however, the polydopamine (PDA) coating significantly reduced its crystallinity. The PCA loading capacities were measured at 253.7 mg⋅g −1 for PCA-ZIF and 209.2 mg⋅g −1 for PCA-ZIF@PDA. The photothermal conversion efficiency of the 1 mg⋅mL −1 sample under 808 nm irradiation was found to be 61.4 %. Under near-infrared irradiation and acidic conditions (pH 5.0), the cumulative drug release from PCA-ZIF@PDA reached 91 % after 12 h. Antibacterial experiments demonstrated that PCA-ZIF@PDA effectively killed E. coli and S. aureus , inhibited their growth, and significantly prevented biofilm formation.

The excessively leached metal ions from traditional metallic antimicrobial nanoparticles are harmful to biological and human tissues. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) coordinating bioactive metal ions to organic bridging ligands can potentially address this issue, avoiding the excessive leaching of metal ions and simultaneously exhibiting high effective antibacterial activities. Here, we report the preparation of a 2-dimensional leaves-like zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-L) for potential antibacterial and anti-algae applications. The ZIF-L nanosheet exhibits complete inactivation ofEscherichia coli(phosphate buffer saline: 4 h) andBacillus subtilis(seawater: 0.5 h). The ZIF-L/epoxy composite has excellent antibacterial effect, poisoning effect and anti-adhesion effect on a variety of marine algae. It is worth noting that the removal rate (Escherichia coli) for ZIF/epoxy composite can be reached to 90.20% by only adding ZIF-L (0.25 wt%). This work will inspire researchers to develop more metal-organic frameworks materials for applications in the antibacterial and anti-algae fields.Keywords:ZIF-L;two dimensional;antibacterial;anti-algae

Benzimidazole and metal cobalt salts were employed in the synthesis of Co-ZIF-9 by solvothermal crystallization. Highly active catalysts for selective hydrogenation of carbonyl compounds were developed. The optimal nanocatalyst Co-ZIF-350 manifested remarkable activity and selectivity for the hydrogenation of cyclohexanone under mild conditions. Catalytic conversion of cyclohexanone reached the highest over the catalyst of Co-ZIF-9-pyrolyzed at 350 °C for 2 h, in which the conversion of cyclohexanone was 100 % and the selectivity of cyclohexanol was ＞99 % at 50 °C. A wide scope of ketones/aromatic aldehydes could be selectively reduced to the corresponding alcohols with high yields. Importantly, the nanocatalyst Co-ZIF-350 presented good tolerance of substrates with various functional groups under mild conditions.

Shape control in metal–organic frameworks still remains a challenge. We propose a strategy based on the capping agent modulator method to control the shape of ZIF-8 nanocrystals. This approach requires the use of a surfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), and a second capping agent, tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (TRIS), to obtain ZIF-8 nanocrystals with morphology control in aqueous media. Semiempirical computational simulations suggest that both shape-inducing agents adsorb onto different surface facets of ZIF-8, thereby slowing down their crystal growth rates. While CTAB molecules preferentially adsorb onto the {100} facets, leading to ZIF-8 particles with cubic morphology, TRIS preferentially stabilizes the {111} facets, inducing the formation of octahedral crystals. Interestingly, the presence of both capping agents leads to nanocrystals with irregular shapes and higher index facets, such as hexapods and burr puzzles. Additionally, the combination of ZIF-8 nanocrystals with other materials is expected to impart additional properties due to the hybrid nature of the resulting nanocomposites. In the present case, the presence of CTAB and TRIS molecules as capping agents facilitates the synthesis of metal nanoparticle@ZIF-8 nanocomposites, due to synergistic effects which could be of use in a number of applications such as catalysis, gas sensing and storage.
