A new approach was proposed for the preparation of metal–organic framework/metal oxide composites in one step using only metal salts. Here, crystalline rhombohedral dodecahedron ZIF-8, hollow ZnO microsphere , and ZIF-8/ZnO composites were obtained in different one-pot solvothermal processes where the growth toward individual ZIF-8 and ZnO phases and toward ZIF-8/ZnO composites was controlled by adjusting the ratio of metal salts to 2-methylimidazole. Subsequently, a series of derived (C and/or N)-doped ZnO nanoparticles was obtained by a two-step calcination process. The absorption kinetics and photocatalytic activity in methyl orange degradation under visible light were investigated. ZIF-8-derived ZnO could maintain their original morphology and displayed excellent photocatalytic activity 10 times higher than that of the original ZIF-8.

Lignin, as a by-product produced in the biological refining and papermaking processes, is often discarded or burned, resulting in environmental pollution and resource waste. Herein, a novel environmental-friendly ternary hybrid foams adsorbent (SLS/PEI/ZIF-8) was designed for effectively removal TC from aqueous solution. The adsorption properties of the adsorbent were systematically studied. The results show that the adsorption process for TC were fitted well by the pseudo-second-order kinetics model and the Langmuir isotherm model, respectively. The maximum Langmuir monolayer adsorption capacity of SLS/PEI/ZIF-8 for TC was calculated as 1098 mg/g at 30 °C, which was superior to most reported adsorbents. Thermodynamic analysis indicated the adsorption process for TC was spontaneous and endothermic. Moreover, the electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding interactions and π–π interactions were proposed as the possible adsorption mechanism. The adsorbent still maintained superior adsorption capacity for TC in ions solution, HA solution and actual water samples, and had good reusability. Therefore, it is a promising adsorbent for the removal of TC from wastewater.

Graphical A defect-free PVDF/ZIF-8-LS membrane prepared by loading a continuous ZIF-8-LS film layer on the PVDF membrane exhibited high and stable adsorption performance for CR and TC removal, because of a good compatibility between PVDF membrane and ZIF-8-LS layer. Lignosulfonate (LS) enhances ZIF-8 dispersion and active sites but faces challenges in recovery and secondary pollution due to its powdered form. To address this, a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)/ZIF-8-LS composite membrane was fabricated via vapor deposition, where LS promoted dense ZIF-8 growth and interfacial compatibility with PVDF. The resulting PVDF/ZIF-8-LS membrane shows a higher continuous, uniform and dense ZIF-8-LS layer without macroscopic cracks or obvious defects. In addition, the PVDF/ZIF-8-LS exhibits the best adsorption capacity of 110.6 mg g −1 for Congo Red, about 8.8 mg g −1 higher than the PVDF/ZIF-8, and 110.2 mg g −1 for tetracycline, respectively. With 92% capacity retention after three cycles and stability across pH 2–10. The more active adsorption sites facilitates the contact between the ZIF-8-LS layer and the adsorbed substance, in addition to the electrostatic, H-bonding, π-π interactions, and coordination bond are also conductive to the adsorption of PVDF/ZIF-8-LS. The excellent adsorption performance and good recyclability of the PVDF/ZIF-8-LS composite membranes exhibit a potential for adsorbing other contaminants from water.

Confining nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) into porous materials could prevent its aggregation and passivation. In this study, we confined nZVI into the cavity of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) via sequential pre-adsorption ferric ion (Fe(III)) and NaBH 4 reduction processes. The optimized Cr(VI) removal rate of ZIF-8 confined nZVI (nZVI@ZIF-8) reached 1.2 × 10 −1 min −1 , 9.2- and 37.5-fold that of nZVI and ZIF-8, respectively. Interestingly, the removal rate constants of nZVI@ZIF-8 toward Cr(VI) still reached 9.6 × 10 −2 min −1 and 6.7 × 10 −2 min −1 with initial pH of 7.0 and 9.0, respectively, 13.0 (7.4 ×10 −4 min −1 ) and 23.9 times that of nZVI. More importantly, channels confinement significantly improved the reactive lifetime of nZVI for Cr(VI) removal. The electro-donating -NH 2 provided positive charge sites for CrO 4 2- or HCrO 4 - adsorption. Subsequently, the difference of Fermi level between nZVI and ZIF-8 drove electrons transfer from nZVI to ZIF-8 for surface Cr(VI) reduction. This study provides an avenue to enhance the performance of nZVI toward heavy metal ions removal by coupling surface adsorption and nano confinement.

Radiation therapy is one of the core means of tumor treatment, especially in local control and radical treatment has an irreplaceable role. However, radiotherapy resistance is one of the major challenges in current clinical practice. Tumor cells have a strong ability to repair DNA damage, which can effectively resist DNA double-strand breaks caused by X-ray, thus weakening the killing effect of radiotherapy. In addition, the complexity of the tumor microenvironment (TME) will further reduce the sensitivity of radiotherapy, leading to poor treatment results. With the rapid development of nanotechnology, multi-modal combined therapy nanoplatform has gradually become a new strategy to overcome radiotherapy resistance. These nanoplatforms achieve synergies by integrating multiple therapeutic approaches, such as radiation sensitization, photothermal therapy and chemotherapy. In this study, we utilized ZIF-8, a member of the metal-organic frameworks, to simultaneously load ICG and Rapamycin for X-ray sensitization and combined photothermal therapy. In this formulation, Rapamycin enhances tumor cells' sensitivity to radiotherapy by inhibiting the mTOR signaling pathway, increasing DNA damage, regulating the cell cycle, and stimulating the STING pathway, which amplifies the tumor immune response. Meanwhile, ICG, as a photosensitizer, effectively converts light energy into heat, achieving tumor photothermal ablation. The modified drug-delivery system becomes a tumor-microenvironment-responsive smart carrier, increasing tumor cell uptake, prolonging retention at the tumor site, and achieving targeted drug delivery. It releases drugs in the specific tumor microenvironment, enhancing photothermal and radiotherapy sensitization effects. The results show that the smart dual-loaded nanoplatform effectively combines photothermal therapy and external-beam sensitization, reshapes the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and significantly inhibits tumor proliferation in the HepG2 subcutaneous xenograft model, demonstrating marked antitumor activity and good biosafety.

Separating butanol/water mixtures via distillation is notably energy-intensive and costly, highlighting the urgent need for more efficient alternatives. This study introduces a novel approach using mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) infused with Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-8 (ZIF-8) transformed into its porous liquid (PL) form, aimed at enhancing the separation efficiency of butanol/water mixtures through pervaporation (PV). We selected ZIF-8 for its hydrophobic nature and high surface area, which are critical for improving both flux and selectivity in membrane-based separation processes. The study details the synthesis of ZIF-8-PL, its characterization through techniques such as Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the fabrication of the MMMs. Our results demonstrate that ZIF-8-PL-based membranes at 55°C with a 30 wt% PL loading significantly enhance biobutanol-selective PV efficiency. Specifically, these membranes show an improvement in flux of approximately 102% and an increase in separation factor by 64% when compared to unmodified polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membranes. This significant enhancement highlights the effectiveness of PL-based fillers in advancing MMM performance for biofuel separation, providing a promising route to optimize energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness in industrial scale applications.

Highly permeable polyamide (PA) membranes with precise ion selection can be used for many energy-efficient chemical separations but are limited by membrane inefficiencies. Herein, polyphenol-mediated ZIF-8 nanoparticles with hydroxyl-rich hollow structure were synthesized by tannic acid tailored regulation. PA-based membranes with fast penetration, high retention, and precise Cl − /SO 4 2− selection were then synthesized through spatially and temporally controlling interfacial polymerization with modified ZIF-8 nanoparticles (tZIF-8) as aqueous phase additives or as interlayers. The effects of the embedding position of tZIF-8 on the structure, morphology, physicochemical properties, and performance of PA-based membranes were explored through a sequence of characterization techniques. The results revealed that the PA-based membrane with tZIF-8 embedded in the PA layer could achieve a high water permeance of 24.8 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 with a high retention of 99.4 % Na 2 SO 4 and a Cl − /SO 4 2− selectivity of 141, which was superior to most state-of-the-art PA-based membranes. Comparatively, the Cl − /SO 4 2− selection of the PA-based membrane with tZIF-8 embedded between the PA layer and the substrate was 136, while the water permeance was slightly enhanced to 28.2 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 . Excitingly, the resulting membranes all exhibit superior antifouling properties and stability. Our facile strategy for tuning membrane microstructures provides new ideals into the development of highly permeable and excellently selective PA-based membranes for precise ion sieving.

The development of lithium-metal batteries (LMBs) with high energy density and safety is considered a top priority for the next generation of rechargeable batteries. However, the mitigation of the inevitable reaction between lithium and the liquid electrolyte (LE), as well as the subsequent formation of Li dendrites, poses a crucial challenge that needs to be addressed. Upgrading traditional LEs serves as a pivotal strategy in achieving this objective. Here, we report a ZIF-8@SiO 2 /PVDF-HFP (ZSPH) quasi-solid electrolyte (QSE) with ultra-multistage pore crosslinked network structure. The interconnected micro-stage pore structure in a honeycomb-like morphology of polyvinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene (PVDF-HFP) and the rich multistage pore structure of nanoscale SiO 2 “armored” zeolite imidazolium ester backbone-8 (ZIF-8@SiO 2 ) collectively establish a multi-stage ion transport channel. This unique structure facilitates appreciable ionic conductivity (2.21 × 10 −3 S cm −1 at 30 °C) and provides a wide and stable electrochemical window (approximately 5.0 V). The Li/ZSPH9-LiPF 6 /Li quasi-solid-state cell demonstrates an impressive longevity of over 1800 h at a current density of 0.2 mA cm −2 . The high compatibility of the interface between electrode and ZSPH QSE and effective inhibition of Li dendrites growth create synergistic effects, which make it possible to realize high energy density and safe LMBs.

Mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) for CO 2 /N 2 separation were prepared by incorporating nickel-substituted ZIF-8 (Zn/Ni-ZIF-8) into a polyether-block-amide (PEBA2533) polymer, in which the Zn and Ni ions in Zn/Ni-ZIF-8 have different affinities for CO 2 based on π-complexation; these MMMs exhibited exceptional molecular sieving properties compared to ZIF-8-PEBA MMMs. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that Zn/Ni-ZIF-8 nanoparticles were small and uniformly distributed within the PEBA, and attenuated total reflectance Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy revealed good interfacial compatibility between the Zn/Ni-ZIF-8 and PEBA; consequently these MMMs exhibited excellent mechanical properties . The 10% Zn/Ni-ZIF-8-PEBA MMM showed a high CO 2 permeability of 321 Barrer, and a CO 2 /N 2 selectivity of 42.8 at 2 bar; these values were much higher than those of the 10% ZIF-8-PEBA MMM (266 Barrer and 33.8, respectively). We assume that different metal-ion affinities towards CO 2 resulted in the asymmetric adsorption/desorption behaviour of these MMMs, which led to a significantly higher permselectivity for the Zn/Ni-ZIF-8-PEBA MMM. The MMM loaded with 10% Zn/Ni-ZIF-8 exhibited long-term CO 2 -separation-performance stability under mixed-gas conditions, with a CO 2 permeability of 282 Barrer and a CO 2 /N 2 selectivity of 42.7. Moreover, the permselectivity of the 10% Zn/Ni-ZIF-8-PEBA MMM under pure-gas condition surpassed Robeson's upper bound reported in 2008.

Rational construction of profitable microstructure in carbon-based electromagnetic composites is becoming a promising strategy to reinforce their microwave absorption performance. Herein, a N-doped highly porous carbon composite derived from thermal decomposition of Zn-based MOF (ZIF-8) has been synthesized for microwave absorption applications. The maximum reflection loss (RL) of −39.7 dB could be achieved with a thickness of 4 mm and the effective absorption bandwidth was from 7.9 GHz to 12.2 GHz covered X band (8–12 GHz). By comparing the porous carbon composites derived from conventional ZIF-8, it can be validated that porous structure, degree of graphitization and graphitic-N level is the key factors to improve the microwave absorption performance by increasing dielectric loss ability. The results demonstrated that the ZIF-8 derived graphitized nitrogen-doped porous carbon composites had great potential for microwave absorption performance, which may open up a new avenue to promote the electromagnetic applications of MOF-derived carbon composites.

The hybrid nanocomposites ZIF@L composed of Zn-based MOFs (ZIF-8) and lignin were successfully synthesized via a simple one-step method at room temperature. The yield of the hybrid nanocomposites ZIF@L were up to 52% and the synthesis time was greatly shortened. Characterization using FT-IR, XRD, SEM and N 2 -sorption analysis indicated that ZIF@L composites exhibited rhombic dodecahedral structure such as the parent ZIF-8 synthesized in the absence of lignin and the incorporation of lignin did not destroy the framework integrity of ZIF-8. The ZIF@L composites were used to remove methyl violet (MV). The ZIF@L nanocomposites had a remarkable improvement in adsorption capacity of MV compared with the parent ZIF-8. The modified Langmuir model fitted better the equilibrium data of MV adsorption on the ZIF@L-4 composite and the maximum adsorption capacity of MV is 1001.2 mg g −1 . The pseudo-second-order model could describe well the kinetics process of MV dye onto the prepared adsorbents.

Burns on human skin often leads to slow recovery because of continuous wound infections caused by the loss of skin protection. In this study, a seed-free soaking method is put forward to prepare PCL@ZIF-8/εPL nanofibers as a dressing for burn wounds. This ZIF-8-coated polycaprolactone (PCL) fiber exhibits increased specific surface area, significantly increasing the polypeptide loading of epsilon polylysine (εPL) from 12 to 20 wt.%. The antibacterial experiment found that ZIF-8 and εPL exhibited dual antibacterial properties, and after εPL was loaded to ZIF-8, the nanofiber demonstrated stronger antibacterial properties that can better kill the remaining tenacious bacteria. This high-efficiency bactericidal property, combined with the ability to protect wounds from common infections by bacteria in the air, would promote wound healing, shortening the healing time period from 24 to 17 days. Further tissue sections confirm that the shielding effect and dual antibacterial properties of the composite fiber membrane are the reasons behind the acceleration of the healing of burns and scalds. Shielding and antibacterial material are helpful for the treatment of burns and scalds, and it may also guide the treatment of other types of wounds.
