As a third-generation fluoroquinolone antibiotic, levofloxacin (LEV) residue in biological and environmental samples has aroused widespread public concern. In this work, NH 2 -UiO-66 was in-situ synthesized via a solvothermal route on MoO 3 surface. Subsequent covalent modification with ferrocene (Fc) afforded a ratiometric electrochemical sensor denoted as Fc-NH 2 -UiO-66/MoO 3 /GCE for LEV quantification. The anchored Fc units not only construct an internal self-calibration system with stable reference signal to greatly improve detection reliability, but also boost the electrical conductivity of the composite electrode. The as-fabricated sensor exhibits favorable analytical performance toward LEV, featuring a wide linear range of 0.6 µM-600 µM and a low limit of detection of 0.032 µM, together with stable anti-interference capability. Moreover, the developed electrode was successfully employed to determine LEV in practical specimens including serum, urine and commercial LEV eye drops. This reliable and sensitive analytical strategy exhibits promising prospects for clinical diagnosis and pharmaceutical analysis. Graphical abstract

Antibiotic overuse has led to drug-resistant bacteria and superbugs, necessitating urgent strategies. MOFs, although they are potential antimicrobial carriers, have limitations at low doses and in single therapy. Here, by adding different amounts of CTAB in the precursor solution, two different morphologies of NH2-MIL-101(Fe)@Ag nanoagents were obtained, namely, NH2-MIL-101(Fe)@Ag-1 (Cube) and NH2-MIL-101(Fe)@Ag-2 (Octahedron). Antibacterial experiments showed that these two nano reagents with both photothermal and photodynamic effects exhibited nearly 100% bactericidal rate against high concentrations of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli (107 CFU/mL) within 15 min. The combination of inactivation of intracellular proteins and disruption of cell membranes induced by Ag ions and high temperature resulted in NH2-MIL-101(Fe)@Ag 100% in an octahedron showing durable and superior bactericidal performance at low doses (64 μg/mL), which is much better than other antibacterial reagents. Furthermore, the enhanced mechanism was discussed in detail by DFT calculations. A special electron transfer process occurred between Ag and NH2-MIL-101 (Fe) under 880 nm NIR irradiation, which promoted the generation of ROS and enhanced the antibacterial effect. In addition, these two nano reagents have good therapeutic effects on wound healing in vivo due to silver ions and photothermal effects.

Biomimetic mineralization is a crucial biotechnology for encapsulating enzymes within metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). While this technique is extensively employed in solvent-based systems, its applicability in mechanochemical systems remains to be explored. In addition, the structural units of MOF composition may significantly influence this process. In this study, we reported that dodecanuclear zirconium clusters act as precursors to facilitate the mechanochemical process of biomimetic mineralization, leading to the construction of cellulase@UiO-66-NH2 (with cellulase abbreviated as Cel). The results demonstrate that dodecanuclear zirconium clusters promote the biomimetic mineralization of Cel@UiO-66-NH2, preventing enzyme degradation by organic solvents. This approach leads to a 20% increase in enzyme activity per unit mass and a 78% improvement in the encapsulation rate. It also enhances catalytic efficiency and substrate affinity compared with Cel@UiO-66-NH2 synthesized with hexanuclear zirconium clusters. The biomimetic mineralization was attributed to the increased local concentration of structural units of MOFs surrounding Cel, as well as transformations in chemical bonding and alterations in enzyme structure. We demonstrated the stability of Cel@UiO-66-NH2 compared to traditional physical adsorption methods and explored its applications in the saccharification of carboxymethylcellulose and microcrystalline cellulose and the high-temperature sequential extraction of polysaccharides from Naematelia aurantialba. Our results revealed that Cel@UiO-66-NH2 retained over 50% of its catalytic activity after eight cycles of carboxymethylcellulose saccharification and maintained 50.9% enzyme activity after five cycles of treatment with microcrystalline cellulose. In addition, we achieved a polysaccharide extraction yield of 10.35% at 70 °C.

Compact and phase-pure UiO-66-NH 2 membranes were synthesized on the 3-aminopropy-ltriethoxysilane (APTES) modified macroporous Al 2 O 3 tubes through a repeated synthesis strategy. APTES acts as a molecular linker for anchoring the metal ions onto the support surface to promote the nucleation and the crystallization of UiO-66-NH 2 membrane. Therefore, well-intergrown UiO-66-NH 2 membranes could be prepared through a repeated synthesis method on the APTES-modified macroporous Al 2 O 3 tubes. The developed UiO-66-NH 2 membranes were evaluated for seawater desalination by pervaporation . It is found that the UiO-66-NH 2 membranes show high desalination performances attributing to the narrow pore size which is exactly in between the size of water molecules and hydrated ions . With increasing the feed temperature from 318 to 363 K, the water fluxes increase from 1.5 to 12.1 kg m −2 h −1 , with ions rejections of above 99.7%. Further, the UiO-66-NH 2 membranes display high stability for a long time in seawater desalination, which is very promising for seawater desalination.

Oil-containing emulsion pollution seriously endangers the ecological environment and human health, and it is urgent to solve the problem of oil-containing emulsion pollution. In membrane separation technology, metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are being widely used to enhance the wettability of the membrane surface and separation efficiency. Here, electrospinning technics and the outstanding wetting properties of MOF are combined to improve the separation performance of oil-containing emulsions. PVP chains were successfully grafted on Zr-O clusters of UiO-66-NH 2 to prepare PVP-UiO-66-NH 2 nanoparticles, which were then loaded on the PAN nanofiber substrate with microspheres/fine fibers prepared by a continuous electrospinning-electrospray process. The result shows that the PAN nanofiber substrate loaded with 0.5 wt% PVP-UiO-66-NH 2 has the best separation efficiency and stable anti-fouling ability for different kinds of oil-in-water surfactant stabilized emulsions (TOC = 11.6 mg/L, R = 99.2% FRR = 94.4% for n-hexane-water emulsion). Therefore, the constructed nanofiber membrane is the favorable candidate for the efficient separation of oil-containing emulsions.

Nanofiltration membranes show great potential in water treatment and resource recovery for their special separation mechanisms that can separate the small molecules effectively. However, their wide application needs to address the low separation efficiency caused by the similar solute sizes and charges while using the charged NF membranes with nanopores. This work reports a low-cost amine–carbon quantum dots (CQDs–NH 2 ) modified thin-film composite (CTFC) membrane via the facile interfacial polymerization process. The electrostatic force and competing reaction between the positively charged CQDs–NH 2 and the reactive monomers reformulated the interfacial polymerization process. The resultant CTFC membrane exhibits improved surface morphology and hydrophilicity. Besides, the incorporation of CQDs–NH 2 changed the original polyamide network structures to construct more transport space. The CTFC membrane permeance was boosted significantly (from 6.2 to 38.44 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 ) compared with the unmodified TFC membrane, showing precise dyes separation property. This work may offer valuable guidance for the low-cost loose nanofiltration membrane preparation towards molecular separation.

The poor stability of fully inorganic halide perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) has always restricted their wider application, especially in cell imaging. It has attracted more and more attention to use ligand engineering to improve the stability of PNCs. In this work, CsPbBr3/mPEG-NH2 NCs were synthesized using a highly biocompatible functional polymer, methoxypolyethylene glycol amine, as the capping ligand. The as-prepared CsPbBr3/mPEG-NH2 NCs exhibited superior water solubility as a result of the hydrophilic properties of mPEG-NH2. More shockingly, a significantly enhanced fluorescence intensity was found when CsPbBr3/mPEG-NH2 NCs were dispersed in water for a period of time. Correspondingly, the fluorescence quantum yield increased from the initial 16% to 41% a week later. Meanwhile, the thermal stability of the product has been greatly improved; about 80% of the initial PL intensity was still maintained after heating the product to 100 °C. Finally, we directly utilized the CsPbBr3/mPEG-NH2 NCs as luminescent probes for cell imaging for the first time.

Firstly, the SiO2 microspheres were prepared by Stӧber method, and then modified by 3-Aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (KH-540) to introduce –NH2 onto the microspheres. Then, SiO2-NH2 microspheres were mixed into polysulfone casting solution, and SiO2-NH2/PSF composite membrane was prepared by the phase conversion method. On this basis, the functional adsorbent SiO2-NH2/PSF-g-PMAA was prepared by grafting polymerization of methacrylic acid (MAA) as a functional monomer using –NH2/S2O82− surface initiation system. The samples were characterized by Fourier infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) and weighing method. The adsorption properties of amlodipine (ADP) by functional adsorbents were investigated, and the adsorption mechanism was further studied. The results show that the adsorption reaches equilibrium at 180 min, and the adsorption kinetics can be well fitted by the pseudo-second-order model. The adsorption capacity of SiO2-NH2/PSF-g-PMAA for amlodipine in methanol with 1.4 mg/mL at 15 °C is 137 mg/g. The adsorption ability increases with the decrease of ionic strength and temperature via the hydrogen bond and ionic interactions, and the adsorption of ADP by SiO2-NH2/PSF-g-PMAA is consistent with the D-R adsorption isotherm model. Thermodynamic parameters imply that adsorption is a spontaneous and exothermic process.

Photoresponsive materials may be used to improve the humidity of a microenvironment, thus improving the comfort of people occupying that space. In this work, by constructing a synergistic layer (amino groups) and a regulating layer (spiropyran compounds) on the surface of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) electrospun membranes, we successfully developed fiber materials with excellent mechanical stability that can reversibly regulate the humidity of the microenvironment. Spiropyran molecules can undergo photoisomerization (reversible polar-nonpolar structure interconversion) by conversion of ultraviolet/visible light. The wettability and microenvironment humidity can be controlled bidirectionally under different light sources. More importantly, the amino groups on the fiber surface can assist the ring-opened merocyanine in absorbing water molecule, thus playing a synergistic role. Moreover, changing the electrospinning voltages can help regulate the porosity of the fiber materials, which can change wettability and the humidity range regulation. The energy change of spiropyran before and after water absorption was obtained by density functional theory calculations, and it is further proven that the synergistic layer can promote the ability of humidity regulation.

The present work demonstrates the synthesis of the microsphere composite photocatalyst Bi 3 O 4 Br/NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) (BOB/NMILT) system, and the physicochemical properties of the material were analyzed by various characterization means. Further, the photocatalytic performance of the BOB/NMILT system was evaluated by degrading tetracycline (TC) under simulated sunlight. The degradation rate of TC using BOB/NMILT-5 reached 88.5% within 90 min. The degradation rate is 6.5 times and 3 times higher than that of individual catalysts NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) (NMILT) and Bi 3 O 4 Br, respectively. The improvement in photocatalytic activity of composites mainly benefited from the construction of heterojunctions , which effectively inhibited the recombination of carriers. Importantly, the role of h + and •O 2 − was found to be significant in the reaction of TC. Cumulatively, a Z-scheme photocatalytic degradation mechanism of tetracycline on the BOB/NMILT composite system was proposed. The proposal of this system is of great significance for the future development of photocatalytic materials that can degrade tetracycline.

To alleviate the supply–demand contradiction of gallium metal (Ga), this study reports a method of preparing 2-CNT/UiO-66-NH 2 composite materials by combining carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with UiO-66 series metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) to improve the recovery and utilization efficiency of Ga in solution. The adsorbent material is used for selective adsorption and recovery of Ga in aqueous solutions. The physical properties of the composite adsorbent, such as morphology, structure, and elemental composition, were explored by analyzing the surface characteristics of the samples. The impacts of variables like the amount of adsorbent used, time, solution concentration, pH value, and coexisting ions on adsorption efficiency were explored during the experiment. The results indicate that ion exchange and chelation play a major role in the adsorption of Ga by 2-CNT/UiO-66-NH 2 , and Ga ions can be separated and recovered from the mixed solution through selective adsorption. At 313 K and pH = 8, the greatest amount of adsorption is 925.44 mg/g, and the rate at which it is absorbed can reach 99% when the adsorption time is only 1 h. The hybrid absorbent generally has a high adsorption efficiency and good selective adsorption performance for Ga, providing more efficient and economical technical assistance for the future recovery and exploitation of Ga supplies.

Cr(VI) is a common heavy metal pollutants present in the aquatic environment, which possess toxic and carcinogenic properties. In this study, a solvothermal reaction was used to prepare porphyrin (TCPP)-modified UiO-66-NH2(UNT). The UNT integrated adsorption and photocatalytics in the application for dealing with Cr(VI). The photocatalytic reduction activities of UNT for Cr(VI) were investigated under visible light illumination. We found that the TCPP doping amount of 15 mg UNT (15-UNT) had a 10 times higher reduction rate of Cr(VI) than pristine UiO-66-NH2. The optimal 15-UNT photocatalyst demonstrated the highest photocatalytic activity, and Cr(VI) was completely removed within 80 min. In addition, the introduction of porphyrin not only enhanced the absorption of light but also enabled the transport of photogenerated electrons from porphyrin to UiO-66-NH2, which promoted the separation of charge carriers. Furthermore, the effects of factors such as porphyrin content, pH and light source on the photocatalytic reduction performances of UNT were also explored. Overall, this work presented a possible relationship between the crystal structures and the performance of UNT.Keywords:photocatalytic reduction;porphyrin;UiO-66-NH2;hexavalent chromium
