The Pd@ZIF-L catalysts with uniform crosshair-star shape and a size of about 20 μm were synthesized by an assembly method, in which a two-dimensional layered zeolitic imidazolate framework-L (ZIF-L) was used as the support to immobilize Pd nanoparticles . Their catalytic activities were evaluated by the catalytic reduction of p -nitrophenol to p -aminophenol. The results highlight that the physical-chemical and catalytic properties of the Pd@ZIF-L catalysts are greatly affected by the synthesis temperature. The temperature variation can make the catalysts transform from two-dimensional flakes to zero-dimensional spheres. High temperature is beneficial for increasing Pd loading and encapsulating Pd nanoparticles within the ZIF-L matrix. However, under the temperature larger than 30 °C, the dense dia(Zn) structures are formed. Increasing Pd loading in the Pd@ZIF-L catalysts leads to a significantly higher p -nitrophenol conversion. The relative dense structure of the as-synthesized catalysts makes p -nitrophenol access the active centers difficultly and a lower catalytic activity is observed. These findings would aid the development of high-performance Pd@ZIF-L catalysts.

Effective bifunctional electrocatalysts for Oxygen reduction reaction and Oxygen evolution reaction (ORR and OER) are key for fuel cells and water electrolysis. Co-based dodecahedral bifunctional catalysts, rich in Co-N, pyridinic nitrogen, and metallic cobalt nanoparticles, were synthesized by pyrolysis of ZIF-67. The obtained ZIF-67–6 catalyst showed an onset potential of 0.90 V, a half-wave potential of 0.83 V (vs. RHE), a limiting diffusion current density of 5.24 mA cm⁻² for ORR, and an overpotential of 1.50 V (vs. RHE) at 10 mA cm⁻² for OER. These values are comparable to those of commercial 20 % Pt/C (0.89 V onset potential, 0.83 V half-wave potential, and 4.27 mA cm⁻² limiting diffusion current density) and IrO₂ (1.53 V overpotential at 10 mA cm⁻²). The catalyst maintained 92.11 % of its current density after polarizing at 0.80 V for 10,000 s. ZIF-67–6′s high performance and stability are attributed to the porous structure from MOF pyrolysis, the deposited cobalt nanoparticle, and the higher Co-N and the pyridinic nitrogen content. This work offers a practical method to produce nitrogen- and cobalt-rich bifunctional electrocatalysts with dodecahedral structures.

Graphical In the study, Mn-functionalized ZIF-67 (Mn@ZIF-67) hybrid material was synthesized using a post-synthesis modification method. Its oxidase-like catalytic activity effect enabled this material to directly oxidize colorless TMB into blue oxTMB without the presence of H 2 O 2 . This color change provided a means for the detection of Art and AA. The work also demonstrated the practical application of this method in analyzing real samples containing AA or Art. Artemisinin (Art) is the first-choice medicine for treating malaria. It also shows good therapeutic effects in antibacterial and antitumor treatment. Therefore, a simple and efficient method for detecting Art is of great significance. Mn-functionalized ZIF-67 (Mn@ZIF-67) hybrid materials were synthesized using a post-synthesis modification method. Due to the introduction of Mn 2+ , Mn@ZIF-67 possesses higher peroxidase/oxidase like dual-mimic enzymes activity than ZIF-67, which can catalyze Art and generate peroxyl radicals. Based on this fact, Mn@ZIF-67 was used to detect Art in the presence of TMB. A good linear relationship between absorption intensities at 652 nm and Art concentrations was obtained in the range of 0–22 μM with a detection limit of 200 nM. Ascorbic acid (AA), due to its reducibility, can inhibit peroxidase/oxidase mimetics activity of Mn@ZIF-67 and the blue Mn@ZIF-67-TMB solution fades gradually with the addition of AA. Mn@ZIF-67-TMB acting as a colorimetric sensor, AA can be sensitively detected ranging from 0–30 μM, and the detection limit is 50 nM. Coexisting substances don't interfere with the detection of Art or AA. This sensing platform provides a highly sensitive and selective colorimetric method for monitoring AA and Art in serum, thereby demonstrating remarkable practicality.

For NO 2 , a gas that is widely used and harmful, domestic and foreign researchers have done a lot of work to develop a sensor with low detection limit and low humidity sensitivity to achieve efficient detection of NO 2 . In this work, first of all, dense and uniform SnO 2 nanosheets were grown in situ on the surface of Al 2 O 3 ceramic tube by hydrothermal method. Then, the ZIF-8@SnO 2 porous composite gas-sensitive material was constructed by solvent thermal method. With the advantages of the ZIF-8 porous screening framework, the permeation of different gases can be selectively controlled, and the adsorption efficiency of NO 2 gas can be enhanced through the modification of ammonia to improve the selectivity of NO 2 . The results show that the response of the Modified-ZIF-8@SnO 2 sensor is significantly enhanced, and the selectivity is greatly improved at low operating temperature. At 140 °C, the response of Modified-ZIF-8@SnO 2 to 50 ppm NO 2 gas is as high as 61, which is about 18.4 times higher than that of SnO 2 nanosheets and about 16.3 times higher than that of ZIF-8@SnO 2 . Meanwhile, the anti-interference ability of the Modified-ZIF-8@SnO 2 sensor to humidity has been improved. This work provides a new idea for improving the selectivity and humidity insensitivity of gas sensors.

In this work, the Fe 3 O 4 @ZIF-8 catalyst was prepared by combining Fe 3 O 4 with ZIF-8 for degrading carbamazepine (CBZ) in water, using activated persulfate (PS) and peroxymonosulfate (PMS). We investigated the optimal catalysts and reaction conditions for using PS or PMS as activators by varying the pH, temperature, catalyst dosage, as well as the dosage of PS and PMS, respectively. The results demonstrated that the CBZ removal rate using Fe 3 O 4 @ZIF-8 reached 98.1 % after 30 min with a mass ratio of Fe 3 O 4 to ZIF-8 = 3:1, temperature = 40°C, catalyst dosage = 0.50 g·L −1 , and PS dosage = 0.25 g·L −1 , using pH = 3.0. Characterization results show due to the fact that the presence of ZIF-8 facilitates the dispersion of the catalytic active species Fe 3 O 4 , prevents the agglomeration of the active species, increases the number of active species, and improves the catalytic performance. Furthermore, radical quenching assay and electron paramagnetic resonance spectra successfully identified the main oxidizing components generated in the system, namely SO 4 • − and •OH.

Fabrication of simple and efficient adsorbents is greatly vital to satisfy the requirements of removal of tellurium in wastewater treatment , yet remains challenging. Here, a facile and cost-effective strategy to develop ZIF-L coated self-crosslinking cellulose membrane (ZIF-L/SC membrane) for tellurium adsorption was presented. In-situ vertical growth of ZIF-L nanoplates with functional properties on membrane substrate is an available strategy, effectively remedying deficiency of pure nanosized sorbent in agglomeration problem and unhandy recovery. The SC membrane formed by strong hydrogen bonding among cellulose fibers is an excellent substrate, due to the favorable mechanical strength and abundant hydroxyl groups. The as-prepared ZIF-L/SC membrane shows advantageous morphology of large contact surface, fine thermal stability and eligible mechanical strength. The adsorption performance and possible mechanism of ZIF-L/SC membrane for Te (IV) were investigated by diverse characterization methods, showing admirable adsorption effect. Furthermore, the ZIF-L/SC membrane has excellent antibacterial properties, thus it is expected to deal with membrane fouling caused by microorganism breeding. Therefore, the bifunctional ZIF-L/SC membrane with excellent antibacterial activity is anticipated to be a promising candidate for efficient tellurium adsorbents, and simultaneously have potential in various fields in the future.

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) receive wide attention owing to their high specific surface area, porosity, and structural designability. In this paper, ZC-Ru and ZC-Cu electrodes loaded with monatomic Ru and Cu doped with nitrogen were prepared by pyrolysis, ion impregnation, and carbonization process using ZIF-8 synthesized by static precipitation as a precursor. ZC-Cu has a high specific surface area of 859.78 m2g−1and abundant heteroatoms O (10.04%) and N (13.9%), showing the specific capacitance of 222.21 F g−1at 0.1 A g−1in three-electrode system, and low equivalent series resistance (Rct: 0.13 Ω), indicating excellent energy storage capacity and electrical conductivity. After 10,000 cycles at 1 A g−1in 6 M KOH electrolyte, it still has an outstanding capacitance retention of 99.42%. Notably, symmetric supercapacitors ZC-Cu//ZC-Cu achieved the maximum power density and energy density of 485.12 W·kg−1and 1.61 Wh·kg−1, respectively, positioning ZC-Cu among the forefront of previously known MOF-based electrode materials. This work demonstrates the enormous potential of ZC-Cu in the supercapacitor industry and provides a facile approach to the treatment of transition metal.

The development of copper-based materials with a high efficiency and low cost is desirable for use in iodine (I2) remediation. Herein, Cu0-nanoparticles-functionalized, ZIF-8 (Zeolite Imidazole Framework-8)-derived, nitrogen-doped carbon composites (Cu@Zn-NC) were synthesized by ball milling and pyrolysis processes. The as-prepared composites were characterized using SEM, BET, XRD, XPS, and FT-IR analyses. The results showed that the morphology of ZIF-8 changed from a leaf-like structure into an irregular structure after the introduction of a copper salt and carbonization. The copper in the pyrolysis samples was mainly in the form of Cu0particles. The presence of an appropriate amount of Cu0particles could increase the specific surface area of Cu@Zn-NC. The subsequent batch adsorption results demonstrated that the as-fabricated composites showed high I2adsorption amounts (1204.9 mg/g) and relatively fast dynamics in an iodine–cyclohexane solution when the Cu content was 30% and the pyrolysis temperature was 600 °C, outperforming the other Cu-based materials. The isothermal adsorption followed both Langmuir and Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherm models, while the kinetics of I2adsorption followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The activation energy (Eα) of the adsorbent was determined to be 47.2 kJ/mol, according to the Arrhenius equation. According to the experimental and DFT analyses, I2-Zn interactions and I2-Cu0chemisorption jointly promoted the elimination of iodine. In general, this study provided an operative adsorbent for the highly effective capture of iodine in solution, which might be worth applying on a large scale.

Antimicrobial coatings with the capabilities to prevent and treat biofilm infections on implant are promising surface treatment strategies, but it is difficult to eradicate an already-formed biofilm by the coating. Magnetically-drivable coatings can physically destruct the surface-attached biofilm to enhance antimicrobial killing. However, current magnetic coatings cannot inhibit the initial bacteria growth and the demand of coating stability restricts their magnetic controllability. Herein, a magnetically-drivable, pH-responsive coating is developed by simply mixing Fe 3 O 4 and ZIF-8 nanoparticles on titanium surface. In physiological pH, Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles are stable and non-magnetically drivable on surface due to charge attractions and electrostatic interactions. While in acidic pH caused by bacterial growth, ZIF-8 degradation is significantly accelerated, releasing Zn 2 + and recovering the magnetic controllability of Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles. The released Zn 2+ kills the initially-attached bacteria, inhibiting subsequent biofilm formation. Once a biofilm has formed, Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles can be magnetically pulled-off to destruct the biofilm structure and then enhance antibiotic killing. The Fe 3 O 4 /ZIF-8 coating shows excellent biocompatibility and osteogenesis to compare with bare Ti disc. Animal experiments further proved the in-vivo antimicrobial and osteogenic performances of the coating. Therefore, this work put forward a new surface strategy to solve biofilm-related infections on implants.

Most pristine metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are inherently microporous. To introduce desired porosity for easy enzyme infiltration and immobilization, polystyrene spheres was used as sacrificial template to design hierarchical ordered micro-mesoporous truncated single-crystalline ZIF-8 (SOM-ZIF-8). The surface area and pore diameter of the SOM-ZIF-8 were 821 m 2 /g and 7.09 nm which changed to 669 m 2 /g and 4.98 nm respectively, after lipase immobilization, suggesting the pores and surface of the SOM-ZIF-8 served as binding sites for the enzyme, and could reach a loading capacity of 134 mg/g after 24 h. The optimal conditions for achieving maximum lipase activity for free LipaseELP, ZIF-8@LipaseELP and SOM-ZIF-8@LipaseELP were pH 7.8 at 45 °C, and maintained 33.67 %, 45.6 % and 57.78 % residual activity after incubation at 80 °C for 2 h. The specific activity towards tributyrin and p-nitrophenyl acetate were observed to be SOM-ZIF-8@LipaseELP (0.25 and 45.85 U/mg) compared to ZIF-8@LipaseELP (0.211 and 43.62 U/mg) and LipaseELP (0.179 and 41.09 U/mg) respectively. The SOM-ZIF-8@LipaseELP could further be recovered and reused for 9 rounds while maintaining 73.8 % of its original activity. This study demonstrates that introducing mesoporous structures into ZIF-8 could improve its binding enzyme property for enhanced hydrolytic function.

Optical properties are the most significant properties of optical thin films, which determine its application in optical and photoelectric devices. Designable optical properties are the most challenging goals in optical material engineering. Recently, Metal-organic framework (MOF)-based optical thin films have attracted increasing attention due to their novel optical properties, especially their modular design, which allows fine-tuning of the relevant properties. In this work, a strategy for tuning the optical properties of MOF-based thin films is developed, which is realized by adjusting MOF crystal morphology. A commonly used MOF, ZIF-8 (zeolitic imidazolate framework-8), is selected as the research model. The morphology of ZIF-8 nanocrystal is adjusted using a surfactant/end-capping agent modulation method. The surfactant/end-capping agents are absorbed onto different crystal planes of ZIF-8, slowing the growth of the crystal planes and causing the formation of ZIF-8 crystals with different morphologies. Six different morphologies of ZIF-8 crystals are successfully synthesized in the presence of different amounts of CTAB and/or TRIS: nano-spherical, rhombohedral dodecahedron, nano-cubic, rough octahedron, flake-shaped and hexapod-like morphology. Then, the corresponding ZIF-8 thin films with different crystal morphologies are prepared via spin-coating. The optical properties of the thin films are investigated using UV–vis spectroscopy and ellipsometry in detail. The results indicate that the film with rough octahedron morphology has the best transmittance, reaching 93.35 % at 581 nm. As a key optical parameter of the film, its refractive index can be adjusted between 1.27 and 1.54. The success of tuning of the optical properties of MOF optical thin films by adjusting the crystal morphology will make it meet the different required optical properties in various optical and photoelectric devices.

Lithium-sulfur batteries have become a potential candidate for a new generation of energy storage devices due to their extremely high theoretical capacity, but their shuttle effect and poor conductivity of sulfur and final discharge products hinder their commercial development. In this paper, ZIF-8 material with a large specific surface area was successfully prepared with metallic zinc as the central atom and dimethylimidazole. After sintering at 800 °C, the mesoporous carbon material was obtained, which increased its physical adsorption of sulfur. At the same time, titanium dioxide was coated on the mesoporous carbon material to obtain a core-shell structure with a specific surface area of up to 556.1 m 2 /g. The titanium dioxide coating well inhibits the occurrence of the shuttle effect and at the same time improves the cycle stability of the lithium-sulfur battery. The specific discharge capacity of the battery reaches 1351 mAh/g at 0.1 C.
