Dehumidification performance of a high-efficient compact desiccant cooling component named desiccant-coated heat exchanger (DCHE) highly depends on coated desiccant materials. Currently, mesoporous silica gels and salt-supported silica gels have been extensively studied. Silica gels have limited adsorption quantity in the middle relative pressure range, while salt-supported silica gels have potential threat of corrosion. In this work, a metal–organic framework UiO-66 that can achieve good adsorption quantity without corrosion is reported. The equilibrium adsorption test shows that UiO-66 has promising water uptake, especially in the relative pressure range of 0.35–0.65. The adsorption kinetics test displays that UiO-66 exhibits desirable dynamic water uptakes and adsorption rate constant. Dehumidification capacities of a DCHE using UiO-66 are estimated via a mathematical model and compared with silica gel- (SG) and LiCl-supported silica gel (SG/LiCl). Simulation results show that UiO-66 has better dehumidification performance than both SG- and SG/LiCl-coated samples for semiarid and semihumid climates when outdoor temperature is lower than 36 °C. Especially, when the temperature and relative pressure of inlet air are set as 30 °C and 0.35, respectively, its dehumidification capacity can be 2.7 times the amount of the SG-coated one and 1.3 times of the SG/LiCl-coated one. However, it should be more prudent in choosing UiO-66 under hot and humid climates.

The introduction of metal-organic frameworks into semiconductor photocatalysts is one of the strategies to improve the separation efficiency of electron-hole pairs. In this study, UiO-66-NH 2 /Bi 2 WO 6 nano-heterojunction was constructed for the first time by introducing UiO-66-NH 2 into the Bi 2 WO 6 precursor solution. A series of characterizations such as XRD , XPS and FT-IR have indicated that the successful synthesis of the composites and showed that UiO-66-NH 2 and Bi 2 WO 6 are tightly connected and interacted. SEM results showed that the introduction of UiO-66-NH 2 can increase the distance between bismuth tungstate nanosheets and effectively inhibit the agglomeration of Bi 2 WO 6 . The visible light degradation efficiency of 6% UiO-66-NH 2 /Bi 2 WO 6 can reach 99.7%. The improvement of photocatalytic activity could be attributed to the formation of a type II heterojunction in the composite, which effectively promoting the separation of electron and holes.

A novel aptasensor has been fabricated based on the resonance energy transform (RET) system from MoS 2 QDs-PATP/PTCA (donor) to NH 2 -UiO-66 (acceptor). The electrochemiluminescence (ECL) signal of PTCA was greatly amplified due to the decoration of MoS 2 QDs-PATP, and the NH 2 -UiO-66 was utilized to label the signal probe DNA (pDNA), which hybridizes with the exposed aptamer anchored on the surface of MoS 2 QDs-PATP/PTCA. With the target acetamiprid, the specific binding of acetamiprid to aptamer causes the connection between the donor and the acceptor to be interrupted and produce an “on” ECL signal. Thus, an “off-on” ECL sensing platform for sensitive and selective acetamiprid assay was designed. Under the optimal condition, the ECL signal of the aptasensor was found to be linearly related to the logarithm of the acetamiprid concentration ranging from 0.1 fM to 0.1 μM with a detection limit of 0.064 fM. More importantly, the recovery rate of the ECL aptasensor was calculated to be 98.7 ~ 106% with a RSD lower 5.1% for the residual acetamiprid assay in real food samples, which indicated that the aptasensor has high potential for practical applications.

Abstract A new type of Ag 3 PO 4 /UiO-66-NH 2 Z-scheme heterojunction nanocomposite with visible light catalytic activity was successfully prepared. The synthesis of the composite was confirmed by XRD, FT-IR, SEM, TEM, EDS, XPS. The Ag 3 PO 4 /UiO-66-NH 2 Z-scheme heterojunction can effectively improve the utilization of visible light. The optimal Ag/U/1/4 composite has the highest degradation efficiency for methylene blue (MB, 30 mg/L) in 90 min (80%) and Norfloxacin (NOR, 10 mg/L) in 150 min (85%). The decrease of Nyquist radius and the enhancement of photocurrent response indicated that the combination of photogenerated electron–hole pair in Ag 3 PO 4 /UiO-66-NH 2 composite material is significantly inhibited. N 2 adsorption–desorption and zeta potential results indicated that biggish specific surface area and negative zeta potential value are more favorable for the adsorption of the cationic dye MB. The cyclic test verified the good stability of Ag 3 PO 4 /UiO-66-NH 2 heterojunction material. Furthermore, the photocatalytic degradation mechanism of MB was discussed by introducing different traps to inhibit the possible active substances in the degradation process. This work testified that an efficient photocatalytic composite based on metal–organic frameworks can be used for the degradation of pollutants. Graphic Abstract

UiO-66-NH 2 , an important metal–organic framework, is usually synthesized by solvothermal method and the particle size is generally larger than 200 nm, which limits its catalytic applications in chemical reactions. It is very meaningful to produce UiO-66-NH 2 nanoparticles with ultra-small size, but remains challenging. Herein, we synthesized UiO-66-NH 2 nanoparticles in size of 8–15 nm that are immobilized on g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets. Compared with the UiO-66-NH 2 synthesized by the traditional solvothermal method (> 200 nm), the ultra-small UiO-66-NH 2 nanoparticles immobilized on g-C 3 N 4 have more unsaturated coordination positions and increased Lewis acidity. Owing to these combined advantages, the ultra-small UiO-66-NH 2 nanoparticles exhibit greatly improved catalytic activity for Meerwein–Ponndorf–Verley reaction than larger UiO-66-NH 2 particles.

Antibiotics abuse has been a significant threat to the environment and human health. In this study, we successfully synthesized highly stable amino-functionalized Zr-based metal–organic frameworks (UiO-66-NH 2 ) and studied the adsorption behaviors of norfloxacin (NOR) in water. The adsorption capacities of UiO-66-NH 2 reached a maximum of 222.5 mg/g for NOR, which were considerably higher than that of most reported adsorbents. Moreover, the equilibrium time (6 h) was less than that of several previously reported adsorbents. Ionic-strength-influenced experiments showed that NaCl and CaCl 2 aqueous solutions could improve the removal efficiency of NOR. The presence of humic acid could barely affect the adsorption amount. At a concentration of 10 mg/L, the highest partition coefficient of 20.9 mg/g/µM was obtained, and the removal rate of NOR was as high as 91.6%, implying that UiO-66-NH 2 offered considerable adsorption performance at a low concentration of NOR. In addition, UiO-66-NH 2 exhibited good regeneration efficiency, thus offering the possibility to remove norfloxacin from sewage. Finally, several credible adsorption mechanisms were proposed. The results will aid us to comprehend the surface interaction between organic micropollutants and UiO-66-NH 2 and prefigure the potential of UiO-66-NH 2 as a novel adsorbent for the removal of NOR.

Lightweight and wearable fabrics with rapid self-detoxification functions are highly desired to resist chemical warfare agents (CWAs). Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) with high specific surface area and customizability are singularly attractive because of their ability to effectively capture and catalytically degrade CWAs. Herein, photothermal graphene-based nanocomposite fabrics are designed by wet-spinning and chemical reduction of graphene oxide fibers followed by in situ growth of UiO-66-NH 2 . The flexible graphene fabrics decorated with UiO-66-NH 2 nanoparticles exhibit an ultrafast photothermal catalytic decontamination of dimethyl 4-nitrophenyl phosphate (DMNP), a typical simulant of CWAs. The half-life of the degradation reaction decreases from 3.4 to 1.6 min under simulated solar light irradiation, a significant gain over the values reported in the literature. Furthermore, DMNP can be degraded in 20 min by the graphene/UiO-66-NH 2 fabric, and even after 5 cycles the degradation efficiency still retains more than 92 %. More importantly, the photothermal conversion of graphene and its instantaneous heat transfer to the UiO-66-NH 2 catalyst effectively accelerate the catalytic reaction kinetics, achieving the fast detoxification of DMNP. The combination of catalytic degradation of MOFs with photothermal conversion effect of graphene makes the lightweight and flexible fabrics promising for protection against CWAs and other pollutants.

Summary One-dimensional (1D) sodium ligninsulfonate functionalized carbon nanotubes (SCNT), two-dimensional (2D) graphene oxide (GO), and three-dimensional (3D) zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks (UiO-66) are self-assembled as filler materials for proton-exchange membranes (PEMs) because of their potential for extending proton transport pathways. Herein, UiO-66-SCNT and UiO-66-SCNT@GO were prepared by a facile solvothermal synthesis and then the nanohybrid chitosan (CS) PEMs were fabricated via solution casting. The hybrid PEMs with higher ion exchange capacity than the pure CS membrane displayed higher proton conductivity and selectivity. The proton conductivity of nanohybrid membrane doped with 7 wt% UiO-66-SCNT@GO (CS/U-S@GO-7) was enhanced to 64 mS cm −1 at 70°C. Simultaneously, the selectivity was reached 19.4 × 10 4 S s cm −3 and was much higher than the pristine CS membrane (0.13 × 10 3 S s cm −3 ). Moreover, the mechanical properties of all composite membranes were significantly enhanced compared with that of the pure CS membrane. The results showed that our research provided a valuable strategy for designing high-performance CS-based PEMs in direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC). Highlights A simple and facile solvothermal synthesis was used to prepare UiO-66-SCNT@GO. UiO-66-SCNT@GO was introduced into chitosan (CS) matrix to optimize proton transport channels. CS-based hybrid membranes exhibit high proton conductivity and selectivity. CS-based hybrid membranes show low methanol permeability.

Background A novel luminescent sensor with dual-emitting platforms, Tb@UiO-66 , was used for highly detecting Sm 3+ and teflubenzuron. Methods Tb@UiO-66 was synthesized on basis of the exchange of guest molecules, where Tb 3+ ions were encapsulated into the cages of UiO-66 . Significant finds The results of multiband fluorescence originated from the linker-to-cluster charge transfer and the characteristic emission of Tb III . Tb@UiO-66 displayed luminescence enhancements or quenches according to small molecules. Especially for Sm 3+ and teflubenzuron, the characteristic peaks of Tb@UiO-66 at 490, 545, 585, and 621 nm increased with the increasing of the concentration of the analytes, where Tb@UiO-66 exhibited the effect of luminescence enhancement. The detection limits for detecting Sm 3+ and teflubenzuron were 0.09 μM and 0.21 μM, and the changes of luminescence intensities could be observed by naked eyes under the UV light at 365 nm. Tb@UiO-66 could also be used to detect teflubenzuron in real water samples. Tb@UiO-66 could be reused for at least 5 cycles for the detection of Sm 3+ and teflubenzuron with the framework of Tb@UiO-66 uncollapsed. These results implied that the integration of Ln III luminescent materials and Zr-MOFs by doping method provided a new strategy for fabricating novel luminescent sensors for detecting polluting small molecules.

UiO-66-NH2, a zirconium-based functional metal–organic framework (MOF), was postsynthetically modified via Schiff base reaction between aldehyde groups in glutaraldehyde and amino groups in UiO-66-NH2 and CO2-preabsorbed polyethyleneimine (PEI). The resulting PEI-modified MOFs, abbreviated as PEIC@UiO, were characterized with 1H NMR, Fourier transform infrared, powder X-ray diffraction, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller, scanning electron microscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis and evaluated as CO2 adsorbents. In comparison with pristine UiO-66-NH2, the PEIC@UiO adsorbents have reduced specific surface area (7–150 m2/g) but maintained the same crystal structure. Particularly, the PEIC96@UiO adsorbent exhibited significantly improved CO2/N2 adsorption selectivity (48 vs 25) and higher CO2 adsorption capacity (3.2 vs 2.7 mmol/g). The adsorbent also displayed moderate desorption energy (68 kJ/mol CO2), superior moisture endurance, and recyclability, which are very desirable for practical applications.

The removal of boron from seawater remains a challenge and now receives increasing attention worldwide. Boron removal rates offered by conventional reverse osmosis membranes through one-pass desalination processes are not sufficient to achieve WHO standard. In this paper, the UiO-66 nanoparticles , a metal-organic framework (MOF), are proposed to incorporate into the polyamide (PA)-based thin film nanocomposite (TFN) reverse osmosis (RO) membrane for boron removal due to their inherent porous structure, narrow pore size, and strong adsorption to boron. At an optimum blending concentration of 0.05% (w/v), The UiO-66 TFN membrane showed a ∼50% increase in water flux and a marginal increase in rejection compared with the benchmark thin film composite (TFC) membrane in the brackish water desalination test. In a simulated seawater desalination test, the UiO-66 blended TFN membrane promotes the boron rejection by ∼11% compared with the benchmark membrane. The simultaneous increase of water flux and boron rejection at low blending concentrations are likely attributed to the highly porous structure which provides additional pathways for water transport and the strong adsorption to boron which indued a further pore narrowing effect to its intrinsic pore size of ∼6.1 Å. Therefore, this work provides a new and facile approach to enhance the boron removal rate of the polyamide-based RO membrane via the incorporation of UiO-66 nanoparticles.

A facile controlled interfacial polymerization strategy was proposed for the synthesis of novel thin film nanocomposite (TFN) membranes for enhanced nanofiltration performance. UiO-66 nanoparticles were aminated and pre-immobilized onto a polymer substrate via polydopamine (PDA) coating to achieve a continuous and defect-free polyamide dense layer. The mediation of the PDA coating could not only enhance the structural stability of TFN nanofiltration membranes, but also improve the dispersion and anchorage of UiO-66-NH2, thus closely fixing the position of UiO-66-NH2 nanoparticles on the polymer substrate. Moreover, since the amino group (–NH2) further reacted with PDA via Michael addition or Schiff base reaction, the in situ mutual reaction reduced the nanoparticle losses significantly during the draining off of the monomer solution in the fabrication process, which effectively cut down the actual dosage. The results showed that the PDA interlayer could induce the tight attachment of the PA layer to the support, enhancing the structural stability of TFN membranes. Furthermore, the dosage of UiO-66-NH2 in the as-prepared TFN membranes could also be decreased to as low as 0.01 w/v%, which was nearly a 10–20-fold reduction in the required amount of UiO-66-NH2 for the synthesis. The fabricated TFN/UiO-66-NH2 membranes exhibited very high water permeance and competitive salt rejections in cross-flow nanofiltration, which shows the huge potential for the application of novel TFN membranes with controlled nanoparticle incorporation in industrial separation.
