Developing efficient heterojunction structures is of critical importance for boosting solar energy conversion in photocatalysis. Herein, a ZnS-ZnO heterojunction is fabricated via pyrolysis of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) followed by in-situ sulfidation. Due to the formation of heterojunction, the separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers can be efficiently enhanced. As a result, the as-fabricated ZnS-ZnO heterojunction exhibited a H 2 O 2 formation rate of 6.88 mmol g⁻¹ h⁻¹ , which is 3.75-fold that of ZnO. The mechanism revealed that •OH and •O 2 - were active species involved in the photocatalytic H 2 O 2 production process. Moreover, the as-prepared samples have been successfully applied to degrade norfloxacin and exhibited excellent removal efficiency. This work provides an efficient route to develop highly efficient photocatalyst based on metal-organic frameworks (MOF).

Abnormal tumor microenvironment, such as hypoxia, interstitial hypertension and low pH, leads to unexpected resistance for current tumor treatment. The development of versatile drug delivery systems which present responsive characteristics to tumor microenvironment (TME) has been extensively carried out, but remains challenging. In this study, zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) coated ZnS nanoparticles have been designed and prepared for co-delivery of ICG/TPZ molecules, denoted as ZSZIT, for H 2 S-amplified synergistic therapy. Methods: The ZSZ nanoparticles were characterized using SEM, TEM and XRD. The in vitro viabilities of cancer cells cultured with ZSZIT under normoxia/hypoxia conditions were evaluated by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. In addition, in vivo anti-tumor effect was also performed using male Balb/c nude mice as animal model. Results: ZSZIT shows cascade PDT and hypoxia-activated chemotherapeutic effect under an 808nm NIR irradiation. Meanwhile, ZSZIT degrades under tumor acidic environment, and H 2 S produced by ZnS cores could inhibit the expression of catalase, which subsequently favors the hypoxia and antitumor effect of TPZ drug. Both in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate the H 2 S-sensitized synergistic antitumor effect based on cascade PDT/chemotherapy. Conclusion: This cascade H 2 S-sensitized synergistic nanoplatform has enabled more effective and lasting anticancer treatment.

Abstract The derivatives of metal–organic frameworks have been proven to be ideal candidates for microwave absorption due to their ability to form diverse microstructures of metals/heteroatom doped-carbon composites. In this study, we synthesized three types of zinc oxide (ZnO)@ZIF-8 with varying ZIF-8 shell thicknesses using ZnO colloidal spheres as sacrificial templates. Subsequently, we investigated the microwave absorption properties of a series of non-magnetic ZnO/N-doped carbon nanospheres pyrolyzed by ZnO@ZIF-8 at different temperatures. Remarkably, the non-magnetic samples (30 wt% filler loading) with a hollow structure pyrolyzed at 800 °C exhibited a broad effective absorption band exceeding 6 GHz. The excellent microwave absorbing performance of the samples pyrolyzed at 800 °C can be attributed to the reduction of the ZnO core to Zn 0 , anchoring it in the graphitized N-carbon layer, and the formation of an inner hollow cavity that enhances impedance matching. Therefore, this research not only provides an array of excellent dielectric-type microwave absorbing materials but also presents a novel strategy for developing lightweight and high-performance non-magnetic carbon-based microwave absorbing materials.

A new (8-hydroxyquinolin-2-yl)methylene picolinohydrazide derivative ( L ) has been successfully synthesized and characterized. The probe L displays high selectivity to Co 2+ in CH 3 CN/HEPES (1:1, Ｖ / Ｖ , 10 mmol·L −1 , pH=7.4) with a fluorescence "ON-OFF" response. The Co 2+ ion recognition event possesses some distinct features including rapid response, high selectivity and sensitivity, good anti-interference ability and being applicable within a wide pH range. Based on job's plot and ESI-MS studies, the 1:1 binding mode was proposed. The binding constant of L and Co 2+ is 1.63×10 8 L·mol −1 and the detection limit is 1.15 µmol·L −1 . Natural water samples experiments revealed that probe L can be potentially applied to the detection of Co 2+ in real environment.

To enhance the long-term protective efficacy of epoxy resin (EP) coatings, this study prepared naringin (Nar)-functionalized thiourea (TU)@ZIF-8/graphene oxide (NTZG) nanoparticles via in situ growth coupled with self-assembly and used these nanoparticles to prepare a pH-responsive modified EP coating. The uniformly dispersed particles considerably improved the protective efficacy of the coating, reducing the water absorption rate to 1/56 that of pure EP coating. After 90 d of coating corrosion resistance testing, the impedance modulus of the NTZG/EP coating at 0.01 Hz remained above 10 8 Ω·cm 2 , whereas the pure EP coating lost its protective capability. The release of TU and Nar from damaged sites on the coating effectively suppressed corrosion. Simultaneously, the released agents exhibited a synergistic effect with Zn 2+ generated through ZIF-8 degradation, producing potent antibacterial effects by disrupting the membrane structures of bacteria and inhibiting the activity of enzymes. Experimental studies combined with quantum chemical calculations showed that strong molecular interactions between TU and Nar effectively inhibited the penetration of media into the damaged coating area. Thus, the proposed strategy shows promise for the design of multifunctional smart protective coatings suitable for harsh energy production environments.

Ethylene glycol (C 2 H 6 O 2 ) is an organic compound widely used in industry and daily life. However, it is toxic to animals and humans and can cause serious health problems when ingested. It is important to explore new sensing materials to achieve effective detection of C 2 H 6 O 2 . In this work, pumpkin shaped aspergillus niger with submicron scale has been cultured, aspergillus niger-derived carbon (ANDC) was prepared by simple carbonization, and then novel ANDC/ZIF-8 composite was prepared using a solvothermal method. ANDC/ZIF-8 exhibits considerable selectivity for C 2 H 6 O 2 at room temperature, and the detection limit was 0.84 ppm and the response/recovery time was 13.9/10.6 s, respectively. Compared to ANDC, the gas sensitive performance of ANDC/ZIF-8 composite is greatly improved. This enhancement should be mainly attributed to the formation of heterogeneous junctions and hydrogen bonding interaction between ZIF-8 and C 2 H 6 O 2 . In this way, the mould with regular shapes produced by biomanufacturing was prepared into biochar, which in turn created a new type of gas sensing material and pioneered the introduction of biomanufacturing into the preparation process of gas sensing materials.

The hyperglycemic microenvironment of diabetic chronic wounds is a major driver of severe bacterial infections, excessive inflammatory responses, and impaired angiogenesis, all of which delay wound healing. To address these challenges, we prepared a glucose oxidase (GOx)–loaded zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (GOx@ZIF-8). Furthermore, a multifunctional hydrogel (AACZ) was fabricated by incorporating 5-methylfurfural– and L-arginine–grafted alginate and maleimide–grafted chondroitin sulfate with GOx@ZIF-8 through the Diels–Alder reaction. Results showed that immobilized GOx remained active for a longer time than of free GOx. At the wound site, GOx catalyzed the conversion of excess glucose to gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ). The reduced pH in the local region induced Zn 2+ release from zeolitic imidazolate framework-8, simultaneously, H 2 O 2 mediated the generation of nitric oxide (NO) from L-arginine. The synergy between Zn 2+ and NO endowed AACZ with excellent antibacterial properties. The biocompatible hydrogel promoted cell proliferation and migration, regulated local blood glucose levels, inhibited bacterial activity, alleviated inflammation and promoted angiogenesis and collagen deposition at the diabetic wound site. These findings suggest that AACZ holds promise as a responsive dressing material in healing for complex wounds.

The moist wound environment of the human body immediately following injury is highly susceptible to microbial colonization and subsequent infection, potentially triggering a prolonged inflammatory response. Existing dressings tend to be more monofunctional, making it difficult to cope with wound bleeding and bacterial growth at the same time. The development of more effective wound dressings is a critical priority in contemporary wound care. In this study, we developed a hydrogel wound dressing comprising two components: (1) antimicrobial particles of curcumin (Cur)-loaded bimetallic organic framework (Cu/ZIF-8), and (2) a carrier hydrogel formed by methacryloylated gelatin (GelMA) cross-linked with methacryloylated hyaluronic acid (HAMA). The experimental results confirmed the successful loading of curcumin with 45.6% for Cu/ZIF-8@Cur. In addition, the material exhibits pH-responsive behavior, excellent biocompatibility (>80% cell survival), low hemolytic activity (<5%), and potent antimicrobial activity (≥99%) against E. coli and S. aureus. It is stable under neutral conditions and releases bactericidal particles under bacterial infection (in an acidic environment) to achieve sterilization. This study addresses the limitations of gelatin-based dressings, such as inadequate hemostatic capacity and weak antimicrobial performance, and it demonstrates promising potential for clinical translation.

A novel strategy for the preparation of heterojunction derivants by regulating the loading of precursors was proposed and applied for the first time to effectively remove dyes and antibiotics. Zeolite imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8)-derived ZnO/TiO 2 nano-burst-tube (NBT) was prepared by calcination of ZIF-8 as precursor grown in a solvothermal system adjusted by NH 4 OH or NaOH , TiO 2 NBT as solvothermal substrate. Through a reasonable selection of solvothermal system, ZIF-8-derived ZnO/TiO 2 NBT not only provides enhanced specific surface area (1012.3 m 2 /g), but also enhances the visible light response and charge separation of TiO 2 NBT, whose instantaneous photocurrent density is up to 53 mA cm −2 , which is three times that of TiO 2 NBT. Under visible light irradiation, ZnO/TiO 2 NBT achieved rapid degradation of Rhodamine B(RhB), tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) and chlortetracycline hydrochloride (CTC) with complete removal within 20 min, outperforming ZnO, ZIF-8, TiO 2 NBT and ZIF-8/TiO 2 NBT, with excellent cyclic photocatalytic performance. The results show that the degradation pathways of RhB, TCH and CTC are different. The work provides a promising strategy for multifunctional derivative photocatalytic materials preparation.

The development of cost-effective, high-performance oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) electrocatalysts is pivotal for advancing energy conversion technologies such as metal–air batteries and fuel cells. Herein, we report a facile and efficient strategy to synthesize Mn nanoparticles loaded on N-doped hierarchically porous carbon framework (Mn/N-C) through utilizing ZIF-8 as a carbon/nitrogen precursor and MnCl 2 ·4H 2 O as the Mn source. The synthesis integrates mechanical grinding with an NaCl-assisted pyrolysis process, where molten NaCl acts as a dynamic template and intercalation agent to prevent structural collapse during carbonization, thereby creating a 3D porous architecture with coexisting micro-, meso-, and macropores. Physicochemical characterization reveals that the Mn/N-C-2 sample exhibits a high specific surface area (1770 m 2 /g), abundant defects, and uniform dispersion of Mn nanoparticles within the N-doped carbon matrix. Electrochemical evaluations demonstrate that Mn/N-C-2 catalyst possesses a higher half-wave potential ( E 1/2 ) of 0.836 V and a larger limiting current density ( J L ) of 5.54 mA/cm 2 , surpassing other control samples and most reported Mn-based catalysts and comparable to that of commercial Pt/C. When integrated into Zn–air batteries (ZABs), Mn/N-C-2-based ZABs deliver an open-circuit voltage of 1.49 V and a peak power density of 150.51 mW/cm 2 , outperforming benchmark Pt/C-based counterparts. This work offers a cost-effective electrocatalyst for ORR and can be used instead of noble metals in ZABs. Graphical Mn/N-C electrocatalysts are fabricated by a NaCl-assisted pyrolysis strategy. The optimized Mn/N-C-2 catalyst exhibits a large specific surface area, hierarchically porous architecture and high content of active N, presenting an E 1/2 of 0.836 V for ORR. When integrated into ZABs, it delivers an open-circuit voltage of 1.49 V and a peak power density of 150.5 mW/cm 2 .

Conventional nanoparticles incorporated into epoxy coatings suffer from poor compatibility and insufficient corrosion improvement, hindering their practical applications. A dual-strategy approach integrating in-situ host–guest nanoconfinement and surface self-assembly was devised to fabricate 8HQ@ZIF-8/PDA smart nanocontainers. The guest 8-hydroxyquinoline (8HQ) was encapsulated within the zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) host, leveraging nanoconfinement effects. A bioinspired polydopamine (PDA) layer was then self-assembled on the 8HQ@ZIF-8 surface through dopamine oxidative self-polymerization, resulting in a robust nanocontainer architecture. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations verify that the molecular interactions between the PDA and the ZIF-8 surface was the chemical adsorption. The resultant 8HQ@ZIF-8/PDA retained the rhombic dodecahedral morphology and crystallinity of ZIF-8, demonstrating controlled pH-responsive release behavior. When incorporated into an epoxy (EP) resin matrix on magnesium alloy, the 8HQ@ZIF-8/PDA/EP smart composite coatings exhibited outstanding interfacial compatibility and long-term stability, achieving a low-frequency impedance (| Z |₀.₀₁ Hz ) of 2.49 × 10⁷ Ω cm², a maximum phase angle of 82.8°, and a breakpoint frequency ( f b ) of 63.34 Hz after 50 days of immersion in a 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. These findings highlight the exceptional self-healing and corrosion-resistant properties of the 8HQ@ZIF-8/PDA/EP smart composite coatings, underscoring its potential for protecting magnesium alloys in aggressive environments.

Constructing self-supporting electrodes with ordered channels is critical to enhancing mass transport and ensuring structural integrity in practical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) applications. Herein, we develop a binder-free self-supporting electrode using freestanding carbonized wood (CW) as a three-dimensional scaffold. ZIF-8 was utilized as a linker for in-situ growth to form CW@ZIF-8 materials. This composite was then impregnated with molybdate salts and subjected to a secondary carbonization process, resulting in the formation of electrically active Mo 2 C nanoparticles within the ordered channels. The resulting Mo 2 C/N–C/CW electrode exhibits excellent HER performance, which requires only 106.5 mV overpotential in alkaline and 130.9 mV in acidic media at 10 mA cm −2 . The enhanced performance is attributed to the hierarchical CW framework, which not only promotes uniform Mo 2 C dispersion but also facilitates electrolyte diffusion. This strategy offers a scalable route toward cost-effective, efficient, and durable self-supporting HER electrodes suitable for both acidic and alkaline environments.
