A new type of highly efficient ternary rGO/COF-C4N/NH2-Bi2O3 heterojunctions was designed and synthesized by solvothermal and ultrasonic methods, and was applied to photocatalytic degradation of chlorophenol in water. The results show that the photocatalytic activity and stability of rGO/COF-C4N/NH2-Bi2O3 for the degradation of o-chlorophenol (2-cp) was significantly increased as compared with that of pure Bi2O3, COF-C4N, and COF-C4N/NH2-Bi2O3. The photocatalytic degradation rate for 2-cp by rGO/COF-C4N/NH2-Bi2O3-5% get to 83.7% and 97.4%, and the highest degradation rate constants are 0.0072 min⁻¹ and 0.0158 min⁻¹ under visible light and full light, respectively. The ternary photocatalyst rGO/COF-C4N/NH2-Bi2O3-5% maintained its performance even after four consecutive cycles, only decreasing by 5% of its degradation rate. The degradation experiments for other chlorophenols pollutants under visible light displayed that this ternary heterojunction is mainly applicable to the degradation of 2-cp and 2, 4-dcp, but inefficient for cp, 3-cp, and 4-cp. The degradation rates of 2, 4-dcp could reach 85.1% under visible light. Based on the analysis of band structure, free radical trapping experiment and photoelectrochemical properties, the photocatalytic degradation mechanism of chlorophenols by type II rGO/COF-C4N/NH2-Bi2O3 heterojunction was proposed, in which h+ and ∙OH- have main influence on the degradation activity, and the rGO plays an important role in improving the charge transfer and separation. This work provides a choice for the effective removal of chlorophenols wastewater by photocatalysis

Lead-free copper halides have emerged as promising self-trapped exciton (STE) emitters for broadband white-light generation, yet the direct construction of compositionally regulated single-matrix white emitters remains challenging. This study presents an mPEG-NH 2 -directed phase-engineering strategy for the one-step in situ construction of biphasic Cs 3 Cu 2 I 5 /CsCu 2 I 3 copper halides. By introducing methoxy polyethylene glycol amine into the ligand-assisted reprecipitation (LARP) process, the local coordination environment and supersaturation-driven nucleation behavior of Cs + , Cu + , and I − species are regulated, enabling the coexistence of blue-emitting Cs 3 Cu 2 I 5 and yellow-emitting CsCu 2 I 3 within one crystallization system. The amino and ether oxygen sites of mPEG-NH 2 further promote interfacial coupling with the copper halide matrix, reducing non-radiative STE deactivation and improving radiative recombination. The optimized CCI:3P sample exhibits broadband white-light emission with Commission Internationale de l’Éclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.3236, 0.3347), a photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield of 42.8%, and a prolonged exciton lifetime. A UV-pumped WLED based on CCI:3P emits white light with a correlated color temperature of 6052 K. In addition, the biphasic material exhibits distinct water- and heat-induced luminescence changes, demonstrating stimulus-dependent optical contrast. This work provides a polymer-directed strategy for designing lead-free copper halide emitters with integrated white-light emission and responsive optical functionality.

In this study, a highly sensitive photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunosensor for the detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) utilizing core-sheath-type TiO 2 @NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) nanocone array heterostructures was developed. The immunosensor was constructed by depositing NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) as a sheath onto FTO/TiO 2 nanocones through seed-assisted solvothermal synthesis. The TiO 2 @NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) heterostructure showcased superior PEC detection capabilities for CEA, leveraging the quantum and tip effects of the TiO 2 nanocones along with the broad-spectrum absorption of NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti), which collectively enhanced light utilization and photoelectric conversion efficiency. The internal electric field at the NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti)/TiO 2 interface enabled efficient photogenerated electron transfer, eliminating the need for external bias and enhancing photocurrent. The antibody-functionalized surface effectively captured CEA, resulting in a clear decrease in photocurrent. Under optimized conditions, the immunosensor exhibited a linear response to CEA in the range of 0.1 pg/mL to 100 ng/mL with a remarkable detection limit of 0.54 fg/mL. The developed PEC immunosensor demonstrated high stability and excellent reproducibility, providing an innovative strategy for the development of sensitive photoactive heterojunction materials for biomarker immunosensing applications.

Nonthermal plasma (NTP) offers the potential for converting CH4 with CO2 into liquid products under mild conditions, but controlling liquid selectivity and manipulating intermediate species remain significant challenges. Here, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the Cu/UiO-66-NH2 catalyst in promising the conversion of CH4 and CO2 into oxygenates within a dielectric barrier discharge NTP reactor under ambient conditions. The 10% Cu/UiO-66-NH2 catalyst achieved an impressive 53.4% overall liquid selectivity, with C2+ oxygenates accounting for ∼60.8% of the total liquid products. In situ plasma-coupled Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) suggests that Cu facilitates the cleavage of surface adsorbed COOH species (*COOH), generating *CO and enabling its migration to the surface of Cu particles. This surface-bound *CO then undergoes C–C coupling and hydrogenation, leading to ethanol production. Further analysis using CO diffuse reflection FTIR and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy indicates that in situ generated surface *CO is more effective than gas-phase CO (g) in promoting C–C coupling and C2+ liquid formation. This work provides valuable mechanistic insights into C–C coupling and C2+ liquid production during plasma-catalytic CO2 oxidation of CH4 under ambient conditions. These findings hold broader implications for the rational design of more efficient catalysts for this reaction, paving the way for advancements in sustainable fuel and chemical production.

Pt/C is one of the most favorable catalysts with high catalytic activity used in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, the synthesis of Pt/C with superior durability is still a significant challenge. Here, we introduced a simple technique to fabricate a Pt/N-C catalyst, having ultrasmall Pt nanocrystals encapsulated inside a nitrogen-doped carbon support, which is derived by the UiO-66-NH2 (MOF) using an impregnation technique, followed by a pyrolysis process. This Pt/N-C displays ORR activity and durability in alkaline solution with a half-wave potential of 0.90 V (vs RHE), limited diffusion current density of 5.5 mA cm–2, and only 5 mV deterioration in half-wave potential after testing 20,000 cyclic voltammetry (CV) cycles. In addition, it also shows good performance in acidic solution. In addition, Zn–air batteries (ZABs) assembled using the Pt/N-C air electrode display a high specific capacity of 825 mAh g–1, a high peak power density of 372 mW cm–2, and 208 h long cycle life. This offers an innovative approach for developing noble metal-based catalysts with unusual activity, stability, and a promising future for applications in metal–air batteries and fuel cells.

The development of stable, efficient catalysts for fructose conversion to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) remains a challenge. While sulfonation enhances Brønsted acidity in metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), it often compromises their structural integrity. This work addresses the critical challenge by demonstrating that amino (–NH 2 ) functionalization in MIL-53(Al) acts as a stabilizer, enabling the framework to withstand direct modification with chlorosulfonic acid and facilitating the introduction of sulfonic acid groups. The resulting sulfonated catalyst, MIL-53-N/S(1), achieves an outstanding 5-HMF yield of 84.3% in a biphasic system (170°C, 6 h). This work underscores the dual role of amino functionalization in stabilizing MOFs and enabling efficient acid catalysis for biomass conversion. Graphical A strategy using amino-functionalized MIL-53(Al) was proposed, where pre-grafted –NH 2 groups facilitate effective sulfonation to create abundant –SO 3 H sites without compromising framework stability. This approach addresses the challenge between acidity and structural degradation of MOFs. Under optimized conditions, MIL-53-N/S(1) achieves an HMF yield of 84.3%, demonstrating its potential for practical biomass valorization.

Polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs) are promising membrane materials for CO2 separation due to their high permeability; however, their limited CO2/N2 selectivity restricts practical application. Herein, mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) were fabricated by incorporating a CO2-molecularly imprinted UiO-66-NH2 filler (MIP@U) into amidoxime-functionalized PIM-1 (AOPIM-1), followed by thermal treatment at 160 or 250 °C under vacuum to regulate the membrane microstructure. Spectroscopic and porosity analyses (FTIR, XRD, and N2 physisorption) show that thermal treatment at 160 °C promoted oxadiazole-ring formation, leading to enhanced subnanometer microporosity and improved CO2/N2 selectivity. In contrast, treatment at 250 °C partially regenerates nitrile groups and generates larger micropores, resulting in higher CO2 permeability but reduced selectivity. The MIP@U filler introduces CO2-recognition cavities and improves interfacial compatibility, enabling synergistic control of polymer microporosity and interfacial transport pathways. The optimized 3 wt % MIP@U/AOPIM-1-TR160 membrane achieves a CO2 permeability of ∼1600 Barrer and a CO2/N2 selectivity of 50.8. The membrane also demonstrates stable performance under pressures up to 12 bar and during 30 h of continuous operation at 2 bar. This study highlights a dual-approach strategy combining thermally tailored PIM chemistry with molecularly imprinted MOF fillers for designing high-performance MMMs for CO2 capture.

A synergistic MgO@UiO-66-NH₂ nanocomposite was prepared for CTL sensing. • The proposed CTL sensor enables rapid, non-invasive detection of isopropanol. • The sensor exhibits a wide linear range (0.04–120 mg/L) and good stability. • This method offers a potential approach for preclinical lung cancer screening via exhaled breath analysis. Isopropanol (IPA) has been identified as a potential biomarker for lung cancer, and the rapid detection of IPA in exhaled breath may offer a promising strategy for lung cancer screening. In this study, rod-like MgO, MnO₂, and ZnO, along with natural halloysite nanotubes (HNTs), were synthesized and used as carriers to fabricate nanocomposites with a Zr-based metal–organic framework (UiO-66-NH₂). Their catalytic activities toward IPA were evaluated using cataluminescence (CTL) measurements. MgO@UiO-66-NH₂ exhibited the highest catalytic activity, attributed to the synergistic effect between MgO and UiO-66-NH₂ enhancing the redox capacity in the presence of ozone. Based on this composite, a rapid CTL method was developed for IPA detection in exhaled breath. The intra-sensor precision (nine repeated measurements on the same sensor) gave a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 3.41%; inter-sensor reproducibility (seven different sensors) gave an RSD of 3.81%; and long-term stability over seven weeks showed an RSD of 4.3%. The linear range was 0.04–120 mg/L, with a limit of detection of 0.015 mg/L (S/N = 3). When applied to three healthy human exhaled breath samples, the method achieved spiked recoveries ranging from 90.0% to 105.3%. These results demonstrate that the proposed CTL sensor enables rapid, non-invasive detection of IPA and holds great potential for IPA detection in exhaled breath.

Understanding exciton recombination and exciton-phonon coupling in hybrid perovskite single crystals is essential for developing high-performance linear and nonlinear optoelectronic devices. Herein, we systematically investigate the photophysical processes in formamidinium lead bromide (CH(NH 2 ) 2 PbBr 3 ) single crystals through steady-state photoluminescence (PL), temperature-dependent spectroscopy, time-resolved PL, and Raman analysis. Under 405 nm excitation, dual emission peaks at 555 and 577 nm are assigned to free exciton (FE) and bound exciton (BE) recombination. Time-resolved PL measurements reveal nanosecond-scale lifetimes for FE and longer sub-microsecond lifetimes for BE. Under 800 nm excitation, a single 567 nm emission with a microsecond lifetime is observed, demonstrating two-photon absorption (2PA) induced localization and reabsorption-mediated relaxation. Temperature-dependent PL reveals an activation energy of 72 meV derived from Arrhenius fitting, while the monotonic linewidth broadening is well described by the Boson model with a longitudinal optical phonon energy of 24 meV. An anomalous evolution of the emission features around ∼160 K suggests a possible phase transition, which modulates exciton-phonon coupling and recombination dynamics. Raman spectroscopy further confirms strong electron-phonon interaction and lattice anharmonicity. These results establish a unified picture of FE-BE competition and 2PA-dominated recombination dynamics in CH(NH 2 ) 2 PbBr 3 , providing fundamental insight for perovskite-based lasers, nonlinear photonics, and scintillation devices.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted significant research interest as promising innovative platforms for designing heterojunction photocatalysts. Herein, we report the rational design and preparation of an AgI@Sn-BDC-NH 2 heterojunction composite via a simple and facile in-situ route to degrade organic dyes (RhB). The AgI@Sn-BDC-NH 2 structural, surface, and optical characteristics were thoroughly examined by means of XRD, FTIR, SEM, EDS, UV-Vis DRS, VB-XPS, N 2 physisorption, TG, XPS, PL, transient photocurrent, and EIS techniques. The experimental results confirmed that AgI particles were dispersed on the surface of flower-like Sn-BDC-NH 2 , and the introduction of AgI significantly boosts the photocatalytic performance of the nanocomposites. Under the operating parameters (catalyst dosage of 0.5 g/L, RhB concentration of 30 mg/L, volume of 40 mL, and illumination time of 60 min), the 30-AgI@Sn-BDC-NH 2 with the AgI loading of 30% exhibited the highest degradation efficiency in RhB, reaching 94.7%, with a photocatalytic rate constant of 0.039 min − 1 , which was 3.22 times and 26.0 times that of pure AgI and Sn-BDC-NH 2 , respectively. The enhanced activity can be originated from the formation of Z-scheme heterojunction between AgI and Sn-BDC-NH 2 with intimate interfacial contact and the synergistic effects among the components, thereby providing a mesoporous structure and larger relative surface area (27.9 m 2 /g), improving utilization of visible light, more charge transfer channels, and lower electron-hole pair recombination rates. More crucially, it retained 78.1% degradation efficiency after five cycles, confirming excellent stability. Furthermore, trapping analyses suggest that e − , •O 2 − , and h + radicals dominate the degradation reaction pathway, and then a possible mechanism of 30-AgI@Sn-BDC-NH 2 Z-scheme heterojunction was proposed. Overall, this research work highlights the potential of using Sn-MOF-based heterojunction composites as practical photocatalysts for sustainable dye-contaminated wastewater treatment.

Bacterial infection threatens human health, so the design of efficient and stable photocatalytic antibacterial materials has attracted widespread attention. In this regard, a novel photocatalyst GQDs/NH 2 -MIL-125 (GQDs: graphene quantum dots) was prepared by the solvothermal method for photocatalytic disinfection. Since the addition of GQDs enhanced the absorption of visible light and also accelerated the transfer of photogenerated electrons, the photocatalytic performance of GQDs/NH 2 -MIL-125 was significantly improved. 5 wt% GQDs loading sample (2-GQDs/NH 2 -MIL-125) exhibited the best antibacterial properties. The killing efficiency by 2-GQDs/NH 2 -MIL-125 against E. coli and S. aureus (10 7 CFU·mL −1 ) increased from 40 % and 75 % by NH 2 -MIL-125 to 92 % and 93 % within 60 min, respectively. Moreover, through the single-wavelength antibacterial experiments, it was found that the introduction of GQDs led to a wide-range-responsive antibacterial effect. Through photocatalytic trapping experiments and ESR analysis, the dominant roles of superoxide radicals (•O 2 – ) were confirmed in the antibacterial process. Finally, by studying the state of bacteria via TEM, confocal fluorescent images, and gel electrophoresis, it was found that the active substances not only destroyed the cell membranes but also further destroyed DNA to achieve the purpose of completely killing bacteria. This work provides a new method for the rapid disinfection of pathogenic microorganisms using GQDs-related photocatalysts.

Membrane distillation (MD) is considered an emerging desalination technology. However, the presence of surfactants allows liquid to penetrate the membrane, resulting in membrane wetting, which hinders the commercialization of MD. In this study, we use very few modified materials to prepare novel Janus thin membranes that immobilize modified materials (graphene oxide (GO) and UiO-66-NH 2 ) on polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) hydrophobic base membranes via crosslinkers. The composite thin membrane properties with eight different ratios and contents of GO and UiO-66-NH 2 were fabricated and tested by a feed solution of sodium chloride containing a high concentration of sodium dodecyl sulfate. An optimal ratio of Janus membrane with high flux without affecting the effluent water quality was obtained. The Janus membrane exhibited excellent anti-wetting properties compared to the original PTFE membrane. A desalination rate of up to 99.9% was still available even under 48 h of long-term operating conditions by maintaining a flux of approximately 21.2 L/(m 2 ·h). The anti-wetting mechanism of this membrane was further confirmed by the modified XDLVO model. It suggested that the novel Janus membrane could be a highly promising substitute to the MD process for the resource-based treatment of surfactant-containing wastewater, which played an important role in promoting its application.
