Herein, we propose a simple and effective strategy for designing a zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) fluorescent probe with a two-dimensional leaf-like structure. By doping ZIF-L with phosphate, we developed a fluorescent probe for iron (Fe 3+ ) in systems with high salinity. The fluorescence of P-ZIF-L was quenched effectively with the presence of Fe 3+ . The physicochemical structure, surface morphology, selectivity, stability and composition of the probe were investigated. Under optimized conditions, the fluorescent probe had a detection limit of 0.5 μM. Furthermore, the results that the probe exhibited desirable salt-tolerance and was suitable for determination of Fe 3+ in brine water samples with satisfactory results.

Carbon-based magnetic metal composites derived from metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising materials for the preparation of broadband microwave absorbers. In this work, the leaf-like co-doped porous carbon/carbon nanotube heterostructure was obtained using ZIF-L@ZIF-67 as precursor. The number of carbon nanotubes can be controlled by varying the amount of ZIF-67, thus regulating the dielectric constant of the sample. An optimum reflection loss of −42.2 dB is attained when ZIF-67 is added at 2 mmol. An effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 4.8 GHz is achieved with a thickness of 2.2 mm and a filler weight of 12%. The excellent microwave absorption (MA) ability is generated from the mesopore structure, uniform heterogeneous interfaces, and high conduction loss. The work offers useful guidelines to devise and prepare such nanostructured materials for MA materials.

The leaf-like zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-L) is a promising porous nanomaterial that has attracted increasing attention as an ideal host material to encapsulate functional fluorescent nanoparticles for designing fluorescent sensors. However, owing to the large particle size, gravity readily facilitates the precipitation of the ZIF-L from the aqueous solution, and thus lead to imperfect experimental results. Herein, we report a simple and rapid synthetic method which uses the polyethyleneimine (PEI)-modified ZIF-L as a host to solve the precipitation problem and construct a dual-emitting system that combines its fluorescence with carbon dots (CDs). Furthermore, CDs@ZIF-L/PEI with dual-emitting centres could be utilised as a ratio fluorescence sensor to detect Hg2+ ions. The sensor exhibited excellent dispersibility and good selectivity for sensing Hg2+ ions, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 14.5 nM. Furthermore, experimental results reveal that the CDs@ZIF-L/PEI fluorescent sensor could be effectively dispersed into agarose and less polar organic solvents such as DMF, MeOH, EtOH and CH3CN, expanding the application scope of the fluorescent sensor.

Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are rich in accessible and active Lewis acid-base sites and hierarchical pores, making them effective catalysts for the cycloaddition of CO 2 to epoxides under mild conditions. In this study, a facile defect-engineering strategy using acid etching and ligand exchange was developed to convert three-dimensional ZIF-L into layered Br-ZIF-L with a tire-like surface, abundant active sites, and a structure optimized for efficient mass diffusion. This modification enabled the rapid cycloaddition of CO 2 to propylene oxide under mild conditions (1 MPa and 100 °C for 2 h). The resulting cyclic carbonate was obtained in 92 % yield and 100 % selectivity. Additionally, Br-ZIF-L exhibited excellent chemical stability without a loss of catalytic activity after six consecutive cycles, highlighting its potential as a high-performance catalyst for CO 2 conversion. The developed catalytic system exhibited a conversion rate of >90 % for five different substituted epoxides. This study introduces an efficient approach for synthesizing cyclic carbonates via CO 2 fixation under mild conditions.

This study aimed to develop an effective CO2/N2 selective separation membrane for the capture of CO2 from air or flue gas. Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) was chosen as the organic substrate for the preparation of mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs). To enhance the CO2 mass transfer rate, an ionic liquid (IL) with high CO2 solubility was introduced through direct material blending, while a leaf-like zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-L) was functionalized with silane coupling agents as the inorganic filler. Subsequently, the prepared PVDF-IL@ZIF MMMs were tested for the CO2 separation performance and mechanical properties. The results revealed that IL loading could significantly enhance the separation performance of MMMs for CO2/N2 separation, and the AZL-incorporated IL loading MMM (PPAZL) exhibited the optimal gas separation performance, with 24.5% CO2/N2 selectivity at 2 bar transmembrane pressure. Notably, AZL also demonstrated superior interfacial compatibility with PVDF compared to both ZIF-8 and pristine ZIF-L, which facilitated the maximization of IL loading in the MMM, achieving more than 10% higher IL capacity than ZIF-8-filled counterparts while stabilizing IL immobilization within the membrane matrix.

In this work, a two-dimensional leaf-like framework-L embedded electrochemically reduced graphene oxide (ERGO@ZIF-L) was proposed as an outstanding electrode material for the sensitive electrochemical sensing of benomyl (BM). ZIF-L is surrounded by ERGO, which could effectively ensure the stability and dispersion of ZIF-L. With this unique combination, the prepared ERGO@ZIF-L displayed excellent synergistic characteristics with a large surface area, excellent conductivity, plentiful active sites, and high electrocatalytic properties, thus endowing it with high sensitivity for BM determination. The experimental parameters, such as solution pH, material volume, and accumulation time, were optimized. Under optimal conditions, the BM sensor showed a wide linear range (0.009–10.0 μM) and low-limit detection (3.0 nM). Moreover, the sensor displayed excellent stability, repeatability, and reproducibility, and good anti-interference capability. The method was successfully applied to detect BM in real-world samples.Keywords:two-dimensional MOFs;zeolitic imidazolate framework;ERGO;benomyl;electrocatalysts;electrochemical sensor

Interfacial solar steam generation (ISSG) technology is considered to be one of the most promising approaches to alleviating the global shortage of clean water due to its high solar thermal conversion efficiency. However, achieving stable evaporation in high salinity solutions and preventing the occurrence of salt deposition phenomena remains a challenge. Here, an efficient and stable photothermal membrane-based evaporator has been developed, which consists of polydopamine (PDA) modified leaf-like zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-L) implanted in sodium alginate (SA) membrane supported on a melamine sponge (S-ZIF-L/PDA sponge), providing more advantages for boosting the photothermal conversion performance and preventing salt deposition. This S-ZIF-L/PDA sponge displays an excellent light absorption (>95 %), and remarkable evaporation rate of 1.66 kg·m −2 ·h −1 with a solar-thermal efficiency of 91.06 % under 1.0 sun (1 kW·m −2 ) illumination. Benefiting from the super hydrophilic feature of the melamine sponge and the rejection properties of the SA membrane structure, the obtained sponge effectively prevents salt and contaminants from depositing on the surface. Particularly, the S-ZIF-L/PDA sponge achieves an evaporation efficiency of 86.17 % in 20 wt% NaCl solution, along with excellent resistance to salt deposition and marvelous stability in cycling tests. The salt ion concentration of the obtained fresh water is much lower than the World Health Organization (WHO) drinking water standard, and the organic removal rate exceeds 99 %. This work provides a competitive solution for high-salinity desalination and wastewater treatment.

In this paper, ZIF-L was blended with citric acid (CA) and polyethersulfone (PES) to prepare a casting solution. A novel negatively charged ultrafiltration (UF) membrane (ZIF-L/CA/PES) was obtained using the reverse thermally induced phase separation (RTIPS) method. The hydrophilic carboxyl groups present in CA not only imparted high hydrophilicity and negative charge to the membrane surface, enhancing the membrane’s selectivity and contamination resistance, but also created an acidic environment to attack the Zn atoms in ZIF-L by the ionized H + from CA, resulting in the generation of micro-defective pores and an improvement in permeability. Additionally, the results showed that membranes generated through the RTIPS process exhibit uniform porous surfaces and spongy cross-sections, enhancing membrane performance. The optimized membranes demonstrated the capability to achieve a pure water flux of up to 2267 L/m 2 h with 93.1 % humic acid (HA) retention, and a remarkable membrane flux recovery rate of 75.8 %, suggesting the crucial roles played by CA and ZIF-L in the separation process. In conclusion, hydrophilic anti-fouling UF membranes with a high negative charge and excellent permeation selectivity were fabricated by establishing micro-defective channels through the incorporation of carboxylic acid and ZIF-L, combined with the RTIPS process.

It is still a huge challenge for lithium metal batteries (LMBs) with high energy density for practical application due to the intractable dendrite-growth issue triggered by inhomogeneous Li deposition as well as the unstable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). For the purpose of constructing a dendrite-free Li metal anode, herein we designed and fabricated a functional separator (ZIF-L/rGO@PP) by facile vacuum infiltration in order to realize the effective regulation of ion transport. The nanochannels in ZIF-L with polar functional groups promote the uniform Li+ flux and the restricted migration of anions, while the rGO lamella endows the coating with good flexibility by reinforcing the interlayer bonding interactions. Based on the synergistic effects of ZIF-L and rGO, the functional separator exhibited superb electrolyte wettability and a high Li+ transference number of 0.66, ensuring the uniformity of Li+ transmission and thus induced a robust interface of the Li anode. Consequently, the cells with ZIF-L/rGO@PP separators delivered prolonged lifespan over 700 h with a small overpotential of less than 40 mV at 2 mA cm–2. More importantly, the employment of the separator enables Li||NCM811 full cell with enhanced cycling stability even under the limited N/P ratio of 2.5.

The use of thermal conversion to convert Chinese patent medicines (CPM) residues into porous carbon-based materials and carbon dots (CDs) has effectively resolved the challenges associated with resource waste and environmental pollution while enhancing the added value of CPM residues. In this study, biochar and N-doped CDs with high quantum yield (QY) were simultaneously prepared from fermentation residues by employing a hydrothermal carbonization method without any chemical reagents . The obtained biochar had remarkable adsorption capacity, with an iodine adsorption value of 693.22 mg g –1 . The QY of N-doped CDs could reach to 36.17 % by the mean of self-doping due to the high nitrogen content of the fermentation residues. Considering the structural integrity and permeable porous structure of the two-dimensional leaf-like zeolitic imidazole framework (ZIF-L), N-doped CDs were encapsulated into ZIF-L to form novel fluorescent composites (N-doped CDs@ZIF-L). Moreover, N-doped CDs@ZIF-L as a novel fluorescent probe could be efficiently quenched in the presence of tetracycline (TC), doxycycline (DOC), and chlortetracycline (CTC) by static quenching and the inner filter effect . Notably, the fluorescent probe exhibited a good linear relationship with the TC, DOC, and CTC at 0–50, 0–50, and 0–45 μM, respectively, with limits of detection of 0.025, 0.033, and 0.027 μM, respectively. This probe could be employed to detect TC antibiotics in honey and milk, suggesting that it had the great potential for applications in environmental monitoring and food safety.

The permselectivity of gas molecules can be considerably increased by optimizing the oriented of MOF membranes, and it is possible to construct MOF membranes with high permeance and high selectivity. Here, chelation-assisted interfacial growth is used to prepare ZIF-L membranes for H 2 /CO 2 separation. The growth rate of the ZIF-L crystal plane is regulated by optimizing the interface Zn 2+ diffusion, and a ZIF-L membrane with preferred orientation is constructed for efficient separation of H 2 /CO 2 . The optimized ZIF-L membrane has an H 2 permeance of over 2000 GPU, and the H 2 /CO 2 selectivity exceeds 30. Additionally, the prepared ZIF-L membrane exhibits outstanding operating stability and tolerance, making it a promising candidate for industrial applications.

Integration of Lewis acid and base sites and oxygen surface groups in one catalyst is favorable to promote CO 2 cycloaddition reaction. Here, Zn-ZIF-L was used as starting material to design one kind of catalyst with multiple active sites via pyrolysis and oxidization treatment. The well-dispersed ZnO nanoparticles and pyridinic nitrogen in nitrogen-doped carbon serve as Lewis acid and base sites to activate epoxide and CO 2 while oxygen surface groups help promote the ring-opening reaction of epoxides. Results show that Zn-ZIF-L derived catalyst displays high catalytic activities for CO 2 cycloaddition (6 h, 83% of yield) under mild conditions (70 °C and 0.1 MPa CO 2 ) and outperforms ZIF-8 derived catalyst. Moreover, the obtained catalyst also achieves a satisfactory photothermal catalysis of cycloaddition reaction under light irradiation (120 mW/cm 2 ), which makes our sample a promising catalyst for CO 2 conversion.
