Glyphosate (Gly) is a widely-used herbicide in food production, while, the residue of which due to the long-term and excessive overspray poses serious threats to public health. The development of reliable methods for its sensitive detection is of great urgency. In this study, a novel ratiometric fluorescent nanosensor by encapsulating N-doped carbon dots (N-CDs) and gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) in zeolitic imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8) as the dual-emissive fluorescence probes at 410 and 650 nm, respectively, was constructed for Gly detection. Due to the adsorption property of ZIF-8, the N-CDs/AuNCs@ZIF-8 nanoprobes accumulated Cu 2+ to quench the red fluorescence of AuNCs, and the blue fluorescence of N-CDs was stable. While thiocholine, a product of acetylthiocholine, hydrolyzed by acetylcholinesterase could coordinate with Cu 2+ , resulting in significant fluorescence recovery of AuNCs. This phenomenon was utilized for the quantitation of Gly, due to its inhibitory effect on acetylcholinesterase activity. By calculating the fluorescence intensity ratio ( I 650 /I 410 ), Gly in real sample could be accurately determined in a concentration range of 2–100 ng/mL with a limit of detection of 1.92 ng/mL because of the anti-interference and the self-correction ability of the two fluorescence signals. The N-CDs/AuNCs@ZIF-8 nanoprobes-assisted ratiometric fluorescent nanosensor exhibited unique merits of rapid construction, simple operation, high specificity, and good accuracy for Gly in edible and medicinal malt samples with recoveries of 93.7–108.2 %. This study presents a multiple tool for the versatile sensing of trace pesticides in more food matrices, which can be extended to a full range of environmental and food safety applications.

Zeolitic-Imidazolate Framework 8 (ZIF-8), a porous crystalline absorbent, could be synthesized from the coordination reaction of zinc ions and 2-methylimidazole (2-mIM). ZIF-8 has a large specific surface area and a high adsorption capacity for n -hexane ( n HEX). However, ZIF-8 suffers from low selectivity for both linear and mono-chain alkanes. Therefore, ZIF-8 was modified through 2-mIM ligand being partly replaced by 2-nitroimidazole (2-nIM) through Vapor-Phase post-synthesis modification. The modified materials were denoted as ZIF-8-2-nIM-X (X = 24h, 48h, 72h). ZIF-8-2-nIM-X has a higher specific surface area and better thermal stability than ZIF-8. Further thermodynamic and kinetic calculations show that the affinity of hexane isomers on ZIF-8-2-nIM-X is spontaneous physical adsorption combined with an exothermic process. In contrast, kinetic studies show that the adsorption of hexane isomers on ZIF-8-2-nIM-X is a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The batch and dynamic adsorption and separation properties of ZIF-8-2-nIM-X for hexane isomers were studied. The results of the one-component vapor adsorption equilibrium experiment show that ZIF-8-2-nIM-72h has the best adsorption separation coefficient at 293 K. The adsorption capacity of n HEX and 3-methylpentane (3MP) were 211.63 mg/g and 33.91 mg/g, respectively. Compared with ZIF-8 (selectivity coefficient: 1.08), the adsorption selectivity coefficient of the modified material is greatly improved. The adsorption selectivity coefficient of n HEX/3MP is 6.24 (ZIF-8-2-nIM-72h).

Excessive use of tetracycline poses risks to human health and the ecological balance, which poses challenges to develop a method for facile and reliable detection of tetracycline. Herein, the MoS 2 QDs@ZIF-8 was prepared through a simple method, serving as an asynchronous response sensor for the naked-eye detection of tetracycline. The photoinduced electron transfer between the composite sensor and target tetracycline led to quench the blue fluorescence emitted by MoS 2 QDs. Hydrogen bond, chelation, π-π stacking and pore effect between the composite sensor and tetracycline made the aggregation of tetracycline, significantly enhancing the intrinsic yellow fluorescence of tetracycline. Moreover, it also exhibited good detection performance for the real samples such as river water, farm wastewater, honey and milk, demonstrating that it was suitable for naked-eye visualization detection in the field. This work provided a novel approach for constructing ratiometric fluorescence sensors with asynchronous response.

Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) incorporating ZIF-8 nanoparticles through non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) hold great potential in the organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) field, but their advancement and application have been significantly hindered by ZIF-8’s instability of ZIF-8 in aqueous conditions and major interfacial incompatibilities with polymers. This study presents an approach to overcome these obstacles by initially forming crosslinked ZnO/polyimide (PI) MMMs via NIPS and crosslinking processes, followed by in-situ conversion of ZnO to ZIF-8 within the membrane structure. This method prevents direct contact of ZIF-8 with water, optimizes the interface between ZIF-8 and the polymer, and modulates the pore structure of the membranes. The resulting crosslinked ZIF-8/PI membranes exhibit an ultra-high ethanol permeance of 42.7 L m⁻ 2 h⁻ 1 bar⁻ 1 and a 99.5 % rejection of Rose Bengal dye, surpassing the performance of all state-of-the-art OSN MMMs to our knowledge. Additionally, these membranes also demonstrate excellent separation performance in harsh solvents such as DMF and NMP. The findings of this study not only significantly advance the development of OSN membranes but also offer insights into the optimization of membrane fabrication techniques, setting a new benchmark for the design of high-performance OSN membranes.

Recently, significant attention has been directed towards piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs), serving as nanoscale devices for energy harvesting, in the realm of providing power to wearable electronics. However, the limited power output of PENGs has significantly impeded their widespread application. To address this issue, the present study successfully developed a ZIF-8 functionalized polyacrylonitrile/tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate nanofiber membrane (ZIF-8@PAN/TBAHP-NM) with the aim of enhancing the energy harvesting efficiency of PENGs. The process entails the in-situ growth of ZIF-8 crystals onto the surfaces of PAN/TBAHP nanofibers. The experimental results show that the proportion of the planar zigzag conformation within the nanofiber membrane rises to 71.61 % upon the addition of TBAHP to pure PAN. Furthermore, the incorporation of ZIF-8 nanoparticles led to an increase in the proportion of the planar zigzag conformation to 79.60 %, thereby significantly enhancing the electromechanical energy conversion efficiency. The resultant PENGs exhibited a current output of approximately 2.5 μA and a voltage output of 14.8 V, marking an enhancement of 7.3 times and 4.9 times, respectively, compared to pure PAN nanofiber membranes. During a 5000-s durability test, the device maintained a stable electrical signal output, demonstrating robust durability. Additionally, simulations encompassing actions like walking, running, and jumping have further demonstrated the superior performance of piezoelectric nanosensors in tracking human motion, thereby laying the groundwork for advancements in the field of wearable electronics.

Photocatalysis has been considered a promising method for environmental purification. However, powder nanomaterials are not suitable for large-scale application due to the limit of low recyclability and energy-intensive operation. Integrating and depositing powder photocatalysts on monolithic substrates may solve these issues. In this study, a ZIF-8 photocatalyst membrane and its derived product (ZnS photocatalyst membrane) was constructed by a facile in-situ treatment of cellulose-based substrate (take filter paper as an example). Both the two nanomaterials were confirmed to be tightly anchored to filter paper with the aid of chemical interaction. Under visible light irradiation, excellent dynamic-flow photocatalytic removal efficiencies of methylene blue (MB) degradation (97% within 80 min, k = 0.042 ± 0.002 min −1 ) and Cr(VI) reduction (100% within 60 min, k = 0.116 ± 0.007 min −1 ) were achieved by the prepared ZIF-8 photocatalyst membrane and its derived ZnS photocatalyst, respectively. Considering the high MB adsorption capacity and facile regeneration process of ZIF-8 photocatalyst membrane, the adsorption-degradation strategy was promising for its universal applications. The MB degradation pathway and photocatalytic mechanisms were also explored. Ultimately, a comprehensive discussion on the advantages and implications of prepared photocatalyst membranes for photocatalytic water treatment was rationally proposed. This study provided a promising method for water decontamination and demonstrated the significant superiority of monolithic membrane for photocatalytic water treatment.

Maintaining the long-term stability of flexible polymer-immobilized lipase remains a significant challenge in enzyme catalysis. The deformation of the polymer during the process often damages the lipase, severely limiting its practical application. In this work, we in situ constructed rigid Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-8 (ZIF-8) in porous hydrophobic polymer PVIm as “rigid and flexible” composite PVIm/ZIF-8 through a self-assemble strategy. The implanted rigid ZIF-8 improves the network stability of the hydrophobic polymer PVIm. Additionally, it acts as a co-factor, leveraging defective Zn sites to immobilize lipase through bonding with its amino acid moieties. This approach represents a typical two-birds-with-one-stone strategy. The optimal biocatalyst CalA@PVIm/ZIF-8(0.3) affords the highest yield of biodiesel of 82 % with a TON of 136.6 g (biodiesel) /g (CalA) from waste cooking oil under 30 °C and 24 h. Compared to CalA@PVIm/ZIF-8(0.3), the TON of free CalA is only 25 % of that value. Compared to the ZIF-8-free CalA@PVIm, CalA@PVIm/ZIF-8(0.3) exhibits near 1.2 folds enhancement of performance, further unveiling the co-factor role of ZIF-8 in the reaction. More importantly, this incorporation of ZIF-8 makes the resulted CalA@PVIm/ZIF-8(0.3) afford at least 44 days operation period and retains 83 % original activity after 16 running recycles, superior to almost all the reported immobilized lipase researches, far outperforming that (24.1 % activity after 16 cycles) of CalA@PVIm. The wide flexibility in various biodiesel synthesis can be further demonstrated, affording the practical application value of developed catalyst.

This study investigated the enhancement in bioethanol recovery from mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) by functionalizing zeolite framework-8 (ZIF-8) with imidazolate. This study focused on the separation of ethanol from low-concentration ethanol/water mixtures (typical post-fermentation concentrations of 5–10 wt%). Specifically, ZIF-8 was modified by the shell–ligand exchange reaction (SLER) with 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole (DMBIM), resulting in ZIF-8-DMBIM particles with improved hydrophobicity, organophilicity, larger size, and adjustable pore size. These particles were incorporated into a PEBAX 2533 matrix to produce ZIF-8-DMBIM/PEBAX MMMs using a dilution blending method. The resulting membranes showed significant performance enhancement: 8 wt% ZIF-8-DMBIM loading achieved a total flux of 308 g/m2·h and a separation factor of 16.03, which was a 36.8% increase in flux and 176.4% increase in separation factor compared with the original PEBAX membrane. In addition, performance remained stable during a 130 h cycling test. These improvements are attributed to the enhanced compatibility and dispersion of ZIF-8-DMBIM in the PEBAX matrix. In conclusion, the evaluation of nanofiller content, feed concentration, operating temperature, and membrane stability confirmed that ZIF-8-DMBIM/PEBAX MMM is ideal for ethanol recovery in primary bioethanol concentration processes.

To improve the flux, anti-fouling and dye separation performance of PES-based membranes, PES mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) blended with ZIF-8@Ti 3 C 2 T x composites were fabricated via a facile one-pot microemulsion strategy. The introduction of hydrophilic components in the microemulsion into the PES matrix enhanced the pore structures and surface polarity of the resulting MMMs, causing them to exhibit high permeation and anti-fouling performance compared to both neat PES and MMMs with ZIF-8. The optimal membrane flux and anti-fouling performance were found to be 280 L·m −2 ·h −1 and 91 % (bovine serum albumin rejection), respectively, at 3 % microemulsion content. The well-distributed ZIF-8@Ti 3 C 2 T x composites in the MMMs interact with dye molecules, which strengthens the dye retention from high-salinity wastewater. Further, the pore size of the MMMs was positively correlated with the flux but negatively correlated with dye retention. In particular, the M-3 membrane exhibited high flux (140 L·m −2 ·h −1 ) and up to 98 % dye rejection in high-salinity wastewater, but its rejection of salt ions was <5 %. In addition, the dye rejection recovery rate of M-3 after each washing exceeded 93 % over 5 fouling/backwashing cycles. These results strongly suggest that MMMs incorporated with ZIF-8@Ti 3 C 2 T x composites have promising application prospects for removing trace dye pollutants from high-salinity wastewater.

The development of high-performance membranes for heavy metal remediation remains a key challenge in advanced water treatment. In this work, a hierarchically structured composite membrane was fabricated via a self-confined growth strategy, in which Zn(OH) 2 nanostrands immobilized MoS 2 and directed the in-situ growth of ZIF-8, forming a defect-free interlayer for robust polyamide (PA) deposition. The resulting ZM15-PA membrane exhibits a highly hydrophilic surface with a contact angle of 31.5°, a strong positive surface charge under acidic conditions, and excellent water permeability reaching 83.5 L m -2 h -1 . Most notably, the membrane achieves an ultrahigh Pb(II) rejection rate of 99.2%, consistently reducing effluent concentrations to less than 10 μg L -1 , even in the presence of coexisting ions and dissolved organic matter. Mechanistic investigations reveal that Pb(II) removal is governed by synergistic mechanisms including electrostatic repulsion, molecular sieving, and coordination interactions involving Pb-S, Pb-O, and Pb-N bonds. Furthermore, the membrane demonstrates outstanding antifouling resistance, long-term operational stability, and antibacterial efficiency exceeding 99% under photo-Fenton conditions. These findings highlight the promise of self-confined growth strategies for stabilizing two-dimensional materials and developing multifunctional membranes for selective heavy metal removal in complex water matrices.

Rapidly and sensitively evaluating the acid value (AV) of edible oils is significant to ensuring food quality and safety. Cesium lead bromide perovskite nanocrystals (CsPbBr3 NCs) are an effective candidate for AV detection; however, their instability restricts wide applications. Herein, CsPbBr3@ZIF-8 was prepared by confining and growing CsPbBr3 NCs in situ into zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) to improve the stability, and a fluorescence sensor was established to evaluate the AV of edible oils. The results present that CsPbBr3 NCs (below 5 nm) with excellent optical properties were confined and grown in situ in micropores and mesopores of ZIF-8. Meanwhile, CsPbBr3@ZIF-8 had better long-term storage, ultraviolet-irradiation, and water-exposure stabilities, compared with CsPbBr3 NCs. Given the fact that free fatty acids (the major contributor of AV) decrease the fluorescence of CsPbBr3 NCs, the fluorescence intensities of CsPbBr3@ZIF-8 were negative-linearly related to oil AV (R2 = 0.9902) in 0.04–6.00 mg of KOH/g with a 0.06 mg of KOH/g limit of detection. Besides, the practical AV recovery was 92–101% with an average relative standard deviation of 2%. Furthermore, the detection time was 20 min. The response mechanism revealed that free fatty acids could remove surface ligands and increase surface defects to prompt the aggregation of CsPbBr3 NCs and the formation of lattice fringe dislocations, inducing a decrease in the fluorescence. Thus, a stable, sensitive, reliable sensor was established to evaluate the AV of edible oils.

The excessive accumulation of toxic copper species makes it imperative to develop smart dual-functional materials for the simultaneous removal and detection of Cu(II) in drinking water. In this work, novel core–shell NH2-MIL-101(Al)@ZIF-8 nanoflowers were successfully fabricated via an internal extended growth mode under the regulation of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) to achieve this goal. Benefiting from the specific affinity of imidazole nitrogen in ZIF-8 toward Cu(II), the resultant NH2-MIL-101(Al)@ZIF-8 shows high adsorption capacity (526.74 mg g−1). Moreover, the fluorescence of NH2-MIL-101(Al) shows a Cu(II)-dependent change, causing this composite to possess superior selective/sensitive detection with a broad linear range (1.5–625 μM) and a low detection limit (0.17 μM) for Cu(II). Specifically, the hybrid MOF@MOF structure provides greater sensitivity as compared to the individual constituent (pristine NH2-MIL-101(Al)) and the mixed state, which is ascribed to the rational optimization of the smart adsorbent based on the following two aspects. (i) The synergistic effect of the core–shell nanostructure improves the preconcentration ability at the interface between single MOFs. (ii) The existence of the three-dimensional hierarchical nanoflower architecture (structure optimization) accelerates the mass transport and sculpts the final composite with enhanced adsorption and detection ability. These indicate that the smart NH2-MIL-101(Al)@ZIF-8 nanoflower could be an excellent candidate for the synchronous remediation and selective detection of Cu(II) in aqueous systems, which could be potentially useful in wastewater treatment and water quality monitoring.
