How to modulate the open metal sites (OMS) for enhancing the luminescence emerges as a significant issue to explore in the exploration of high-performance metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for photoluminescence (PL) sensing and X-ray detection. Here, by efficiently extending the conjugation of the ligand, nanoscale Zr-ADIP, which has eight OMS per Zr cluster, was first synthesized and demonstrated to have enhanced PL and X-ray excited luminescence (XEL) performance. Furthermore, a modulator tuning strategy was adopted to occupy the OMS, which has been proven to be efficient for engineering the unoccupied electronic levels, promoting the relaxation of the excited electrons, and enhancing the PL efficiency. It is found that with benzoic acid as the modulator, the optimal nanoscale Zr-ADIP-BzOH exhibits superior performance with an X-ray detection limit of 0.53 μGy s–1, which is 10 times lower than the minimum X-ray dose rate requirement for medical X-ray imaging. The superior XEL performance of Zr-ADIP-BzOH has been further proven to be effective in the tentative monitoring of the morphology of a mature pearl in a clam sample by constructing a condensed film device. We expect that the proposed OMS introduction and modulator tuning strategy would offer insights for the structural design and performance enhancement of luminescent MOFs.

Different ligand functionalized UiO-66 (UiO-66-X, X = OH, (OH)2 and NH2) were prepared and then modified by ZnIn2S4 lamellas to form ZnIn2S4/UiO-66-X heterostructures for visible-light-driven H2O2 evolution in pure water. The H2O2 yields using ZnIn2S4/UiO-66-NH2, ZnIn2S4/UiO-66-(OH)2 and ZnIn2S4/UiO-66-OH are 799, 733 and 165 μmol L−1, respectively, which are 9.5, 8.7 and 2.0 times that of ZnIn2S4/UiO-66. The high performance of ZnIn2S4/UiO-66-NH2 and ZnIn2S4/UiO-66-(OH)2 is ascribed to the benign visible-light response and Z-scheme heterostructures, and the H2O2 evolution abides by indirect O2 reduction with ˙O2− as an intermediate species. Additionally, H2O2 yields using ZnIn2S4/UiO-66-NH2 on tap water and Xuanwu Lake (Nanjing, China) water can be comparable to that on the above-deionized water. This study sheds light on the great promise of functionalized MOFs and their applications on green (photo)catalytic energy conversion.

Designing and fabricating ultrafiltration membranes that possess relatively high permeability while simultaneously maintaining high rejection and improved antifouling properties continues to be a challenge. In this study, we investigated the integration of novel melamine modified Zr-based metal organic frameworks (Zr-MOFs) with nanosheets of graphene oxide (GO) and sulfonated graphene oxide (SGO). These composite materials were synthesized using the solvothermal process and subsequently coated onto the PES membrane surface using the vacuum-assisted dip-coating method. The stability enhancement of the topmost MOF composite layer adhering to the membrane surface is attributed to hydrogen bonding, π-π stacking, and van der Waals interactions. These effects are augmented by the incorporation of polar functional groups such as hydroxyl, carboxyl, sulfonate, and amine groups. The optimized composite membranes incorporating MOFs exhibit enhanced performance, with a permeability of 80.2 L/m 2 h bar, achieving a bovine serum albumin (BSA) rejection of ≥97.8 % and a humic acid (HA) rejection of 98.9 %. Moreover, a flux recovery ratio (FRR) of 89.5 %. To investigate the interactions among the incorporated components, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were employed in a computational study. The simulations validated hydrogen bond formation and reinforced prior studies, demonstrating the potential of Zr-MOF compositions as effective hydrophilic nanoparticles. The overall results indicate a substantial enhancement in membrane performance and underscore the high potential for practical applications.

Xylanase is a natural and high-efficiency catalyst for the degradation of xylan to reducing sugar. However, the catalytic performance of xylanase is greatly limited by its poor activity and stability at the harsh condition. To overcome this issue, covalent immobilization of xylanase on a magnetic porous MOFs material with core-shell structure, UIO-66-NH2 carrier was applied to improve the catalytic activity and stability of xylanase. Several tools were employed to monitor the preparation and immobilization processes, magnetic properties, and the structural/chemical characteristics of the biocatalyst. 77.9% of the activity for xylanase was retained after immobilization. Moreover, the thermal stability in terms of half-life of the immobilized enzyme was three times higher than that in free form, and which had higher catalytic efficiency for hydrolysis of xylan. Furthermore, the greater temperature and wider pH ranges of the activity stability were achieved for the immobilized xylanase in compared with free one. Notably, the biocatalyst exhibits both excellent storage stability and could be easily separated using a magnet, which is conducive for its reusability. And nearly 70% of its initial activity was retained after seven recycles during the hydrolysis of corn straw. These features indicate that the present immobilization method is promising prospect for the industrial application of enzyme.

The Zn/Zr-MOFs were synthesized via microwave-assisted ball milling and subsequently characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The thermal stability of the Zn/Zr-MOFs was evaluated through thermogravimetry (TGA). The results demonstrated the exceptional adsorption properties of the Zn/Zr-MOFs towards Lomefloxacin hydrochloride and Levofloxacin hydrochloride. At a concentration of 30 ppm for Lomefloxacin hydrochloride, the addition of 30 mg of Zn/Zr-MOFs material resulted in an adsorption capacity of 179.2 mg•g−1. Similarly, at a concentration of 40 ppm for Levofloxacin hydrochloride, the addition of 30 mg Zn/Zr-MOFs material led to an adsorption capacity of 187.1 mg•g−1. Kinetic analysis revealed that the experimental data aligned well with a pseudo-second order kinetic model. Overall, these findings highlight the significant potential application of Zn/Zr-MOF materials in wastewater treatment.

Owing to the intrinsic nature of the uniformed topologies and ultrasmall Zr 6 nodes of Zr-MOFs, herein, we employed Zr-MOFs (UiO-66 and UiO-67), as opposed to the support of traditional ZrO 2 , to prepare the Pd catalysts for toluene degradation. Compared with the catalysts of Pd/UiO-66 and Pd/ZrO 2 , Pd/UiO-67 catalyst boosted an excellence catalytic performance for toluene degradation, giving the lowest T 90% value of 235 °C with long-term stability. With the assisting of the cavity confinement of Zr-MOFs, Pd nanoparticles are prone to be encapsulated in the 3D frameworks of Zr-MOFs, and the bigger micropores of UiO-67 are more conducive to the formation of larger Pd nanoparticles. The in situ FT-IR results further declared that although the active sites are partly sacrificed due to the larger Pd nanoparticles formed in UiO-67, the stable adsorbed toluene on Pd/UiO-67 boosted the quick degradation of toluene in the reaction interval even without undergoing intermediate processes of benzoate and benzaldehyde. Graphical Abstract UiO-66, UiO-67 and ZrO 2 were employed to prepare the Pd catalysts for toluene degradation, Pd/UiO-67 catalyst boosted an excellence catalytic performance with long-term stability.

A highly efficient and organic solvent-free synthetic strategy for the selective oxidation of anilines to azoxybenzenes was developed by employing porous Zr-MOFs as catalysts in aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution. The impact of cluster nodes, pore size, and linker functionalities on the catalytic performance of Zr-MOFs was fully evaluated and discussed. Featuring abundant bridging Zr-OH-Zr catalytic sites and confined microenvironments, the pristine UiO-66(Zr) could create abundant reactive oxygen species (ROS) with high H 2 O 2 efficiency, affording quantitative yield of azoxybenzene under mild conditions. Furthermore, the UiO-66(Zr)/H 2 O 2 heterogeneous catalytic system exhibited broad and size-selective substrate scope and excellent stability in consecutive catalytic cycles. Mechanism studies demonstrated that the azoxybenzenes were produced through radical pathway on bridging Zr-OH-Zr sites. This study provided alternative strategies exploiting green catalytic systems with porous MOFs, which might further expand the potential application of the MOFs family.

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), a new type of porous material, have shown many possible applications in gas storage and separation, biomedicine, catalysis, and so on. While most MOFs are synthesized through solvothermal synthesis where a large quantity of organic solvent is used, the green synthetic approach using a minimized amount of solvent is important to prevent irreversible environmental compacts. In this study, we successfully synthesized Zr-MOFs with SBUs (e.g., UiO-66 and MIL-140A) using a simple metal source and investigated the role of organic modulators in modulating the MOF structures during solid-state synthesis. Meanwhile, UiO-66 rich in defects synthesized via a solid-state conversion strategy shows good catalytic performance for the ring-opening of epoxides with alcohols. This work contributes to the understanding of the role of organic modulators in the solid-state synthesis of MOFs.

Highly efficient treatment of oil-water emulsions in severe environments (organic solvents, strong acids) is recognized as a challenging subject. Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) is an ideal membrane material with superior thermal stability as well as chemical resistance that is expected to settle this challenge. However, the hydrophobicity of PPS (h-PPS) membrane inherently prevents its efficient treatment of oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions. In this study, superhydrophilic modification of PPS substrates was achieved by in situ electrostatic self-assembly of hydrophilic Zr-MOFs to obtain UiO-66-NH 2 @h-PPS membranes. The introduction of UiO-66-NH 2 crystals constructed the micro/nanoscale hierarchical structure for the substrate, which transforms the PPS substrate from a hydrophobic to a superhydrophilic state (water droplets require only 0.6 s to be completely immersed in the membrane). Meanwhile, the UiO-66-NH 2 @h-PPS membranes gain under-water superhydrophobicity (the under-water oil contact angle exceeds 150° for toluene, hexane , dichloromethane , and carbon tetrachloride , of which toluene reaches 163.1°), thereby improving wettability selectivity and decreasing oil adhesion, permitting the fabricated UiO-66-NH 2 @h-PPS membranes to effectively separate different types of O/W emulsions. The UiO-66-NH 2 @h-PPS membranes acquire excellent permeate fluxes (for the surfactant-free toluene-in-water emulsion, it reaches up to 7638.1 L m −2 h −1 ) and separation accuracy (99.1% oil rejection). Moreover, the UiO-66-NH 2 @h-PPS membrane exhibited outstanding harsh environment resistance. Interestingly, the combination of UiO-66-NH 2 and h-PPS substrate was applicable to degrade the organic compound in water, and the degradation efficiency of the methylene blue achieved 85.7% under visible light within 120 min. In summary, loading Zr-MOFs onto h-PPS substrates provides a novel strategy for the efficient treatment of wastewater under complex conditions with great potential for practical applications.

To address increasing climate deterioration, it is of great value to prepare highly permselective separation membranes for CO2 enrichment and separation. In this study, zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks (Zr-MOFs) containing defective structures (defected-UiO-66-NH2, D-UN) with a high volume yield (12 g L–1 in a single batch) were prepared at room temperature for the first time using a simple green-synthesis strategy. After the modification with pentafluorobenzaldehyde, the fluorine-containing D-UN (named F-g-UN) nanoparticles showed the characteristics of local and dense distribution of fluorine elements. Due to the optimized CO2 affinity and improved dispersion of fluorination modification, the prepared mixed-matrix membrane (MMM) F-g-UN@AO-PIM-1 achieved synergistic improvement in CO2 permeability and selectivity, exceeding the 2008 Robeson upper bound (CO2 664.1 Barrer and CO2/CH4 34.2) and the 2018 binary CO2/CH4 mixed-gas upper bound (CO2/CH4 28.7). The substantial cause was the introduction of fluorine species, verified by relevant experiments and mechanism analyses such as CO2 adsorption. This work proves the feasibility of using crystal defect engineering and post-treatment strategies to enhance separation functions and offers new insights into designing efficient and low-cost MMMs for gas separation, promoting their application in separation membranes including but not limited to gas separation.

Chrome-free tanning agent is of great significance because it can eliminate the notable environmental pollution of chrome tanning. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are the products of the desired combination of metal ions and organic ligands, which make them the born self-masking tanning agent. Herein, a series of Zr-MOFs were prepared by a solvothermal method, and then applied in leather tanning process. Among the Zr-MOFs family, UiO-66 tanned leather exhibited the highest shrinkage temperature ( T s ) of 75.3 °C. Meanwhile, the smaller particle size and self-masking structure of Zr-MOFs allowed for the uniform distribution in collagen fibers matrix, thus giving improved physical-mechanical and organoleptic properties . It was noted that 80% metal usage reduced could be achieved with Zr-MOF as tanning agent comparing with conventional zirconium sulfate. It was found that Zr 4+ of Zr-MOFs could mainly coordinate with -COOH and -NH 2 groups in collagen fibers to form a stable cross-linked structure. In addition, the BOD 5 /COD value (>0.3) of Zr-MOF tanning waste liquor indicated good biodegradability , further confirming the eco-friendly metal-less tanning process. All results indicate that the proposed Zr-MOFs will promote the eco-friendly metal-less tanning process and open a new chapter for the chrome-free tannage.

In this work, a novel and effective ratio fluorescent porphyrin metal–organic framework (MOF) probe by encapsulating UiO-66(OH)2 into the porphyrin MOF (PCN-224) was prepared, showing the excellent fluorescence performance in detecting Cu2+. In this probe, the signal from the green-emission UiO-66(OH)2 encapsulated in PCN-224 was deemed as an effective reference, thus affording an effective built-in correction in complex environmental effects. The red-emission PCN-224 contained the active site for detecting Cu2+. At the same time, Cu2+ can selectively quench the fluorescence intensity of PCN-224. The ratiometric probe therefore gave an effective and reliable Cu2+ determination platform with an LOD value as low as 0.068 nM. This LOD result was better than the Cu2+ concentration limitation in drinking water regulated by World Health Organization (WHO) and reported by some other methods. This provides a simple new sensor for rapidly detecting copper ions, which can be further expanded in various environmental and biological analysis tasks.
