As a vital signaling molecules, hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) with abnormal concentrations is correlated with many diseases. Therefore, development of novel assays for quantitative and selective detection of H 2 S is important. Herein, we synthesized a host-guest metal-organic framework (MOF), i.e., RhB/UiO-66-N 3 (here, RhB means rhodamine B) by a mildly and simply way, as reaction-based ratiometric fluorescent nanosensor for selective detection and intracellular imaging of H 2 S. In the presence of H 2 S, the RhB/UiO-66-N 3 exhibits dual emissions at 425 nm and 575 nm under irradiation of single excitation wavelength. The blue fluorescence at 425 nm (F 425 ) is attributed to the H 2 S-mediated biorthogonal reduction of azide to amine, and the red fluorescence at 575 nm (F 575 ) originating from RhB is served as an internal reference. With increasing concentrations of H 2 S, the intensity of blue fluorescence increases while the intensity of red fluorescence has no obvious change. With F 425 /F 575 as readout, turn-on and ratiometric fluorescence detection of H 2 S was achieved with good selectivity and sensitivity. Interestingly, RhB/UiO-66-N 3 can be tuned from microscale to nanoscale sizes, and endows high stability under physiological conditions. The exogenous and endogenous H 2 S in live cells has been further targeted and imaged, demonstrating its considerable potential for extensive applications.

The synthesis of ultra-thin, uniform and continuous polyamide (PA) membranes is a crucial prerequisite for enhancing their desalination performance. Research has indicated that effectively slowing down the interfacial polymerization (IP) reaction and promoting the interface stability are key strategies for achieving ultra-thin, uniformly nano-structured membranes with excellent performance. Herein, we have demonstrated the successful design of a continuous and uniform PA membrane, ranging from 10 to 20 nm, by utilizing the UiO-66-(OH) 2 n-hexane dispersion as a transition layer to regulate IP reaction and enable efficient water-salt separation. The results showed that the presence of the transition layer facilitated a bidirectional diffusion-contact reaction between the two monomers, resulting in improved interface stability and alleviating the occurrence of severe IP that may lead to heterogeneous membrane structures. As a result, the PA active layers formed through this approach exhibited superior thinness and uniformity compared to those produced via traditional IP methods. Moreover, the transition layer enabled uniform pre-polymerization of UiO-66-(OH) 2 at the reaction interface by pre-exposing it to down-diffusing acyl chloride monomers. This ensured the continuity of membrane structure while creating additional free volume within the membrane. This work presented a scalable method for manufacturing ultra-thin, defect-free, homogeneous, and high-performance nanofiltration membranes.

Hollow MOFs nanoreactors with controlled shape, size, pore volume , and shell thickness have been considered as emerging materials for a variety of applications. Selecting environmentally friendly and cheap colloidal carbon (CNs) as the template, bimetallic hollow Ce/Zr-UiO-66 nanoreactors were synthesized. The PXRD , TEM , EDS and other characterization analysis proved that hollow structure was formed, accompanied with incorporating of Ce(III) in UiO-66 and the crystal morphology was good. Furthermore, bimetallic hollow Ce/Zr-UiO-66 was studied as a catalyst to catalyze the conversion of furfural (FF) to furfuryl alcohol (FAL) without exogenous hydrogen. The results showed that the hollow structure and bimetallic UiO-66 was beneficial to the catalytic reaction by modulating the ratio of Ce(III) and Zr(IV). Among then, the 1:4 ratio of Ce(III) and Zr(IV) displayed good catalytic activity, the conversion rate of FF was 95% and selectivity of FAL was 94%. This study opens a new avenue for further rational design and construction of well-performing MOFs nanoreactors.

A new type aminophthalocyanine was synthesized and loaded on MOFs material UiO-66-NH 2 by impregnation method to synthesize a new type binary composite catalyst AmCoPc/UiO-66-NH 2 . It was systematically characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and N 2 adsorption desorption. The synthesized catalyst was applied to the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue dye under visible light. Compared with AmCoPc or UiO-66-NH 2 monomer performance, the synthesized AmCoPc/UiO-66-NH 2 composite significantly enhanced the degradation of methylene blue (MB), the best degradation efficiency was 90.32%. The reason is that the synergistic effect of AmCoPc and UiO-66-NH 2 effectively improves the light utilization efficiency. The desirable properties such as the positive catalytic activity of the central ion and the high specific surface area of the composites accelerate charge transport and reduce charge recombination.

Recently, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) based substrates have shown great potential for the quantitative analysis of food samples by surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) due to their unique properties. Herein, we developed two UiO-66 MOFs/gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) based substrates by self-assembly, including UiO-66/AuNPs suspension substrate and UiO-66(NH 2 )/AuNPs/Nylon-66 flexible membrane substrate, for quantitative analysis of complex food samples by SERS. UiO-66/AuNPs suspension substrate was prepared for SERS-based determination of a carcinogenic heterocyclic amine in barbecue meat. UiO-66(NH 2 )/AuNPs/Nylon-66 membrane substrate was fabricated for the simultaneous separation, enrichment, and in situ analysis of Sudan Red 7B in chilli products. The heterocyclic amine and Sudan dye in real samples could be detected and quantified with the recoveries of 82.3–110% and 84.5–114% and relative standard deviations (RSDs) of 3.1–11.0% and 1.9–5.6% (n = 3) by use of these two substrates, respectively. These two UiO-66/AuNPs based substrates combined molecular enrichment and SERS activity, achieving excellent analytical accuracy and widening SERS application in practical food safety analysis.

Solid composite polymer electrolytes have been proposed as high-performance solid electrolytes for next-generation energy storage devices. In particular, UiO-66 with monodispersed size (400 nm) and morphology and outstanding stability was introduced as a functional filler to modify the electrochemical properties of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) solid electrolytes with LiClO 4 as the lithium salt. The desired physicochemical properties and electrochemical properties of the electrolyte was improved through microstructure regulation and the intermolecular interactions, as confirmed by X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry , optical microscopy and electrochemical characterisation. Owing to the intermolecular interactions, crystallisation of PEO was inhibited, and the ionic conductivity of the solid composite polymer electrolyte increased to 4.8 × 10 −5 S cm −1 at 25 °C. Electrochemical stable window and lithium ion transference number (t + ) were also observably enhanced. The assembled LiFePO 4 /PEO-LiClO 4 -UiO-66/Li solid-state lithium batteries exhibited excellent cycling and C-rate performances. The initial discharge capacity reached to 160 mAh g −1 , and superior cycle stability with a capacity retention ratio of 83% after 200 cycles at 1C current and 80 °C was achieved. The discharge capacity at 5C was improved by 232%. This work provides new insights into boosting the performances of solid composite polymer electrolytes through intermolecular interactions.

Photocatalysis can directly convert solar energy into chemical energy, has shown unique advantages in solving environmental and energy problems. In this paper, novel UiO-66/p-BN (UBN) heterojunction photocatalysts were successfully prepared by a simple solvothermal method. UBN-6 achieved a degradation efficiency of up to 93.8 % for 30 mg/L tetracycline under 180 min of visible light irradiation, which was 2.46 and 3.25 times higher than that of pure UiO-66 and p-BN, respectively. The enhancement of UBN photocatalytic activity stemmed from the incorporation of p-BN, which increased the specific surface area to expose more active sites, broadened the visible light absorption range, and promoted the separation of photogenerated carriers through the formation of heterojunctions. Free radical trapping experiments showed that ·O 2 - , ·OH and h + played important roles in the photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline pollutants. In addition, the photocatalytic mechanism of UBN was revealed by analyzing the degradation intermediates of TC by LC-MS. This work provides an effective strategy for designing visible light responsive photocatalysts to degrade pollutants.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as host-guest catalyst in oxidative desulfurization (ODS) face challenges due to limited access to active sites through their microporosity. Herein, hierarchical porous Ce-UiO-66 (HCU) was synthesized through a templating method in an aqueous environment to enhance host accessibility; phosphotungstic acid (PW) was uniformly loaded within the mesopores of HCU via post-impregnation; Ce sites were exposed by selective removing the coordinated acetate from the HCU with the acid post-treatment, these synergistically optimized the catalytic potential of the composite. The resulting HCU@5PW-H demonstrates outstanding desulfurization performance (1000 ppm sulfur removal) within 16 minutes under mild conditions (40 °C, O/S molar ratio = 5) and maintains high efficiency over at least eight cycles. The catalytic mechanism involves the decomposition of H 2 O 2 to reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the formation of W VI -peroxo intermediates that determine the ODS activity. This synergistic mechanism offers a promising strategy to enhance the oxidation potential of hierarchical porous MOF-based host-guest catalysts under mild conditions.

Metal-organic framework UiO-66-NH 2 was studied as an adsorbent for effective boron removal from desalination seawater for the first time. First, UiO-66-NH 2 was synthesized using the solvothermal method and then characterized in terms of N 2 adsorption/desorption isotherms, zeta potential, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. Based on the experimental design of response surface methodology, the adsorption of boron on UiO-66-NH 2 was optimized using three independent variables: adsorbent dosage (60–80 mg/L), pH (5–7), and temperature (298–318 K). Under the optimized conditions, the maximum adsorption capacity was predicted to reach 24.54 mg/g. Investigation of the kinetics and isotherms revealed that the pseudo-second-order kinetics model and the Langmuir isotherm can well cover the adsorption data of boron. Thermodynamic parameters showed that the adsorption of boron by UiO-66-NH 2 is spontaneous and feasible. UiO-66-NH 2 also exhibits good reproducibility. It is a highly practical sorbent that can be used to remove boron from desalination seawater.

Novel visible-light-induced UiO-66/BiOI photocatalysts with a p–n junction structure have been prepared for the first time through a facile hydrothermal method. The prepared photocatalysts were characterized using the powder X-ray diffraction, high resolution transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, UV–visible diffuse reflectance spectra, and N 2 adsorption–desorption (Brunauer–Emmett–Teller) techniques respectively. The photodegradation performances of UiO-66/BiOI photocatalysts were evaluated by photodegrading salicylic acid under visible-light irradiation. The UiO-66/BiOI composites displayed much higher photocatalytic efficiencies than pure BiOI under visible light. When the content of UiO-66 was 5.2 wt%, the composite (UiO-66/BiOI-2) has the best photocatalytic activity. Most of the salicylic acid molecules can be degraded in 100 min. The degradation rate of UiO-66/BiOI-2 samples is higher than single BiOI and UiO-66. The enhanced photocatalytic performance of UiO-66/BiOI may be ascribed to the formation of p–n heterojunctions between BiOI and UiO-66, which facilitates the transfer and separation of the photogenerated charge carriers. After recycling of the photocatalyst for five times for the photodegradation of salicylic acid, more than 85% of salicylic acid could still be degraded in the fifth cycle, implying that the as-prepared photocatalysts are highly stable.

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.

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.
