With the advantages of low raw material cost and 100% atom utilization, the synthesis of high value-added chemical product cyclic carbonates by the cycloaddition of CO 2 to epoxides has become one of the most prospective approaches to achieve the industrial utilization of CO 2 . In the reported catalytic systems, the complexity of the catalyst synthesis process, high cost, separation difficulties, and low CO 2 capture limit the catalytic efficiency and its large-scale application. In this paper, Ag nanoparticles loaded on polyethyleneimine (PEI)-modified UiO-66-NH 2 (Ag/PEI@UiO-66-NH 2 ) are successfully synthesized by in situ immersion reduction. The Ag nanoparticles and the amino groups on the surfaces of PEI@UiO-66-NH 2 contribute to the adsorption of CO 2 and polarization of C–O bonds in epoxides, thereby boosting the conversion capability for the CO 2 cycloaddition reaction. At the amount of propylene oxide of 0.25 mol and the catalyst dosage of 1% of the substrate, the yield and selectivity of propylene carbonate are up to 99%. In addition, the stability and recyclability of Ag/PEI@UiO-66-NH 2 catalyst are attained. The Ag/PEI@UiO-66-NH 2 catalyst also demonstrates a wide range of activity and distinctive selectivity toward cyclo-carbonates in the cycloaddition of CO 2 to epoxides. This work provides a guide to designing a highly efficient catalyst for in situ capture and high-value utilization of CO 2 in industrial applications.

Excessive discharge of uranyl ion (U(VI)-containing) wastewater poses significant environmental and human health risks due to radiological contamination. In this study, a metal–organic framework (MOF) exhibiting aerogel-like properties was synthesized by combining UiO-66-NH 2 with MXene through a freeze-drying process. The research focused on the removal of U(VI) from aqueous solutions with this aerogel material. The adsorption isotherm was consistent with the Langmuir model, and the maximum adsorption capacity was determined to be 229.1 mg∙g −1 . The aerogel-like MOF possesses a mesoporous structure, enhancing its U(VI) adsorption efficiency while enabling easy separation and maintaining structural integrity afterward. In cyclic adsorption–desorption experiments conducted over five cycles, the UiO-66-NH 2 /MXene adsorbent demonstrated a U(VI) removal efficiency exceeding 96 %. Overall, the aerogel-like MOF demonstrates outstanding U(VI) adsorption capacity and shows promise as an effective capacitive deionization (CDI) electrode for mitigating radiological contamination.

A fast, simple and effective method was developed and validated for determination of 11 fungicides using magnetic solid-phase extraction with NH2-Fe3O4@GO (graphene oxide) combined with gas chromatography–triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (GC–MS/MS). To carry out the extraction of the fungicides from samples, NH2-Fe3O4@GO nanocomposites were synthesized and characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The target analytes were extracted on NH2-Fe3O4@GO and then eluted by ethyl acetate and acetonitrile (1:1 v/v). Finally, the extraction solvent concentrated by nitrogen blowing was analyzed by GC–MS/MS, which demonstrated good linearity between 0.05 and 5.0 mg L−1. The limits of detection (signal-to-noise ratio = 3) and the limits of quantification (signal-to-noise ratio = 10) for the 11 fungicides ranged from 1.0 to 3.5 and 3.0 to 10.5 μg kg−1, respectively. The accuracy and precision of the proposed method were evaluated by measuring tagged samples; the recoveries and relative standard deviations ranged from 75.3% to 103.9% and 2.19% to 4.68%, respectively. The utility of the adsorbent was demonstrated to determine trace fungicides in fresh fruit juice samples.

In the present study, a novel and efficient immobilization for horseradish peroxidase (HRP) had been developed by using 6-arm magnetic composite microsphere (Fe 3 O 4 @PAA-6-arm-PEG-NH 2 ) containing 6-arm polyethylene glycol (6-arm-PEG-NH 2 ) and Fe 3 O 4 . The morphology and chemical properties of Fe 3 O 4 @PAA-6-arm-PEG-NH 2 were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The immobilization conditions and loading capacity of the carrier toward HRP were also investigated. According to the results, the optimum immobilization conditions were as follows: glutaraldehyde concentration of 0.10 mol L −1 , the carrier concentration of 7 mg L −1 , the temperature of 35 °C and immobilization time of 180 min. The loading capacity of the immobilized HRP arrived to 139.82 mg g −1 (RSD = 0.87%). Compared with free HRP, the stability of the immobilized HRP had been enhanced in a wide range of temperature and pH. The activity of the immobilized HRP retained 71.05% of its initial activity after 60 days storage. It was also found that the activity of the immobilized HRP retained 61.06% of its initial activity after eight times of successive reuse. The immobilized HRP could hydrolyze phenol to 94.4% within 10 min. It proved that the immobilized HRP could improve the performance of HRP, which had a good prospect in biological application.

Under industrially conditions (pressures ≥10 bar), polymer membranes usually exhibit poor CO 2 /CH 4 separation performance and limited stability, severely restricting their practical application. Here, we present a materials engineering strategy, in which phenolic resin is in-situ polymerized on the surface of NH 2 -UiO-66 to engineer the MOF-polymer interface, thereby enabling high CO 2 /CH 4 separation performance and excellent structural stability for mixed matrix membranes. The phenolic resin forms a uniform coating (∼10 nm thick) on the porous MOF surface, providing a high-density CO 2 active sites that accelerate CO 2 transport. In addition, due to favorable interfacial interactions between the phenolic resin shell and the polyetherimide matrix, the resulting MMMs exhibit excellent stability under high pressures. Compared to the pristine PEI membranes, the CO 2 permeability and CO 2 /CH 4 selectivity of the optimized 30-RF@NH 2 -UiO-66-PEI membranes are enhanced by 8550% and 1500%, respectively. Under simulated industrial conditions (10/90 CO 2 /CH 4 mixture at 10 bar and 50 °C), the engineered membranes maintain a CO 2 permeability of 6105 Barrer and a CO 2 /CH 4 selectivity of 30.5, demonstrating excellent separation performance. More importantly, the 30-RF@NH 2 -UiO-66-PEI membrane exhibits both scalability (readily extendable to the square-meter level) and cost-effectiveness (∼55 USD per square meter). This work highlights the potential of phenolic resin-modified MOF fillers to enable efficient CO 2 /CH 4 separation under realistic industrial conditions.

One-pot synthesis of urea [(NH2)2CO] from easily available small molecules, that is, N2, CO2, and H2O, is an extremely attractive but very challenging reaction. 2D-CdS@3D-BiOBr composites with S-scheme heterojunctions are constructed via a facile hydrothermal technique followed by a self-assembly method and shown to be an excellent photocatalyst enabling the reduction of N2 and CO2 with H2O to (NH2)2CO under visible light. The optimal 40%2D-CdS@3D-BiOBr sample shows up to 15 μmol·g–1·h–1 total yield of NH3 and (NH2)2CO, of which (NH2)2CO accounts for 54%. The apparent quantum efficiency (AQE) is 3.93% for urea production. On the photocatalyst, urea is speculated to form by two possible chemical routes. One is direct photocatalytic synthesis. Both N2 and CO2 molecules are activated by the Cd2+ ion of 2D-CdS and the oxygen defect of 3D-BiOBr at the edges of the heterojunction interface of 2D-CdS/3D-BiOBr, respectively. *HNCONH* is the key intermediate of the formation of (NH2)2CO molecules. The other is indirect synthesis by photocatalysis and then thermocatalysis. N2 is reduced into NH3 and CO2 is reduced into CO on 2D-CdS by the photogenerated electrons and protons, and then the formed NH3 reacts with the reactant CO2 or the product CO to form (NH2)2CO by thermocatalysis on 2D-CdS. The former is dominant for urea synthesis. The work confirms that urea could be synthesized photocatalytically from cheap N2, CO2, and H2O under visible light. A composite heterojunction semiconductor could be a prospective photocatalyst appropriate for the complex reaction.

Efficient recovery of Au(III) from electronic and industrial waste streams is of both economic and environmental importance. Herein, a pore-regulation strategy was developed to construct hierarchically porous NH 2 -MIL-101(Fe 1-x Cu x ). By employing 2-aminoterephthalic acid to coordinate simultaneously with Fe 3 + and Cu 2+ , the unstable Cu–O bonds were selectively removed through a mild acid-soaking treatment, thereby generating enlarged channels and hierarchical micro–mesoporous structures. The optimized framework achieved an Au(III) adsorption capacity of 944 mg g −1 , which was ∼30.7 % higher than that of unmodified NH 2 -MIL-101. Mechanistic studies demonstrated that the hierarchical pore architecture not only facilitated mass transfer but also enhanced accessibility of active sites, synergistically contributing to the superior adsorption performance. This work highlights that rational pore-channel engineering around adsorption sites can substantially boost the recovery efficiency of reducible precious metals, offering a novel design paradigm for advanced MOF-based adsorbents.

Enzyme reaction has been accepted widely in numerous applications owing to the high efficiency and stereo-selectivity, as well as simple preparation by gene engineering. However, the fragility and complex purification process of the enzyme are long-standing problems which limit the large-scale application. One possible solution may be the enzyme immobilization. As one type of porous material with high loading capacity and designable functionality, Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are ideal choices for the immobilization of enzyme with a considerable interest in recent years. In this study, d -amino acid transaminase ( DAT ), an important enzyme for industrial synthesis of d -Ala, was covalently immobilized on the surface of a star MOFs material, UiO-66-NH 2. Interestingly, we found that the nanoscale hybrid enzyme UiO-66-NH 2 -Gd- DAT not only maintained the high catalytic efficiency but also got rid of the interference of polluting enzymes, which meant that we could obtain efficient and stereo-selective immobilized enzyme without complex purification process. In general, our findings demonstrated that using UiO-66-NH 2 might be a promising strategy to immobilize enzyme and produce effective biocatalyst with high activity and stereo-selectivity.

The environmental pollution resulting from organic dye wastewater presents a significant threat to human health. Photocatalysis has emerged as a highly promising approach for mitigating wastewater contamination. In this study, a novel synthetic strategy was developed using NH 2 -UiO-66 as a template. By precisely controlling the amount of Ag + ions introduced into the NH 2 -UiO-66 precursor and employing a straightforward reduction approach, the Ag-NH 2 -UiO-66 composite photocatalyst was successfully synthesized. Comprehensive characterization via X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray photoelectron microscopy (XPS) confirmed that the incorporated Ag+ ions were effectively reduced to metallic silver and uniformly dispersed within the porous framework. Photocatalytic degradation experiments employing Rhodamine B (RhB) as a model pollutant under ultraviolet irradiation demonstrated that the catalyst with a silver loading of 0.05 mol/L achieved a maximum degradation efficiency of 91% within 150 min, markedly surpassing the 39% efficiency exhibited by pristine NH 2 -UiO-66. Furthermore, cyclic stability tests verified the catalyst's excellent reusability and structural durability. Mechanistic investigations revealed that superoxide radicals (O 2 − ) served as the predominant reactive species responsible for RhB degradation in the Ag-NH 2 -UiO-66 system. This work presents a simple and effective strategy for fabricating highly efficient and stable MOF-based photocatalysts for the remediation of dye-contaminated wastewater.

The HC(NH 2 ) 2 PbI 3 thin films as the perovskite solar cells absorption layer were prepared by single-source thermal evaporation. The stoichiometric ratio effects of HC(NH 2 ) 2 I/PbI 2 precursors on the properties of HC(NH 2 ) 2 PbI 3 thin films were investigated. The microstructure, surface morphology and optical properties of HC(NH 2 ) 2 PbI 3 thin films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectroscope, scanning electron microscopy and spectrophotometer respectively. The results show that, with stoichiometric ratio of FAI/PbI 2 3:1, the XRD results of formamidine lead iodine thin films prepared by single source thermal evaporation indicated the typical peaks of HC(NH 2 ) 2 PbI 3 thin films with few impurities. The dense and uniform films were formed with large crystal grains on the surface and high crystallization. The Pb/I element ratio was approximate to the ideal stoichiometric ratio of HC(NH 2 ) 2 PbI 3 thin films. The band gap of the HC(NH 2 ) 2 PbI 3 thin film calculated was 1.5 eV, which satisfied the optical properties requirement of absorbers for perovskite solar cell applications, making them potential applicable for large-area efficient perovskite solar cells.

Constructing a Z-scheme heterostructure on a metal–organic framework (MOF) composite with an explicit charge transfer mechanism at the interface is considered to be an effective strategy for improving the photocatalytic performance of MOFs. Herein, an internal electric field (IEF)-induced Z-scheme heterostructure on the ZnIn2S4@NH2-MIL-125 composite is designed and fabricated by a facile electrostatic self-assembly process. Systematic investigations reveal that close interfacial contact and difference in work function between NH2-MIL-125 and ZnIn2S4 enable the formation of the IEF, which drives the Z-scheme charge transfer as revealed by the in situ irradiated X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (ISI-XPS), photoirradiated Kelvin probe force microscope (KPFM) measurement, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) radical trapping experiment, as well as density functional theory (DFT) calculation; meanwhile, directions of the interfacial IEFs are determined. Benefiting from the unique merit of IEF-induced Z-scheme charge transfer, the optimized ZnIn2S4@NH2-MIL-125 composite exhibits significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity for the photoreduction of 4-nitroaniline (4-NA) to p-phenylenediamine (PPD) under visible light irradiation. This work not only provides in-depth insights for charge transfer in the IEF-induced Z scheme heterostructure but also affords useful inspirations on designing the Z-scheme MOF composite to boost the photocatalytic performance.

A reasonable introduction of MOFs-derived Ni 2 P with high dispersion is a valid way to reduce the recombination rate of photogenerated electron holes , thus enabling more effective visible light-driven water splitting. Herein, the MOF-on-MOF strategy was used to prepare Ni 2 P@UiO-66-NH 2 by in situ growth of Ni-MOF on UiO-66-NH 2 followed by vapor-phase phosphating, and the composite photocatalyst of CdS/Ni 2 P@UiO-66-NH 2 was obtained by a facile ultrasound method in solvent. UiO-66-NH 2 provides the growth site for Ni-MOF, enabling uniform dispersion of Ni 2 P and the firmly anchoring of CdS. By adjusting the proportion of Ni 2 P@UiO-66-NH 2 , the light absorption capacity and photocatalytic activity can be further optimized. The hydrogen production efficiency of CdS/Ni 2 P@UiO-66-NH 2 can reach up to 2103 µmol·g −1 ·h −1 , which is about 7 times higher than that of pure CdS. The improvement of the photocatalytic performance of CdS/Ni 2 P@UiO-66-NH 2 composites can be mainly ascribed to the increased active sites exposure, well dispersion of CdS, and the creation of multiple heterojunctions , which tune the band gap, broaden the visible light absorption, and facilitate the carrier separation. This work offers an efficient synthetic strategy for creating ternary composites with remarkable catalytic activity and high stability for hydrogen evolution .
