Photocatalytic CO 2 reduction is a promising strategy to address both environmental issues and energy crisis. Defect engineering offers great potential for improving the photocatalytic performance. Herein, we report an innovative approach to introduce defects in MIL-68(In) via electron beam irradiation for the photoreduction of CO 2 into CH 4 . The irradiated X-MIL-68(In) (X mean the irradiation dose) retained the crystal structure and morphology of pristine MIL-68(In), while generating novel organic framework defects. These defects significantly improved the CO 2 photoreduction activity, with 300-MIL-68(In) achieving the highest CH 4 rate of 87.5 μmol g −1 h −1 and a CH 4 selectivity of 74.8 %. Comprehensive ex situ and in situ characterizations, combined with DFT calculations, demonstrated that defects formation in 300-MIL-68(In) accelerated the separation and transfer of photoexcited carriers, thereby driving its superior photocatalytic performance. Furthermore, In situ DRIFTS along with DFT calculations confirmed that ⁎ COOH, ⁎ CHO and ⁎ CH 2 O were key intermediates during CO 2 reduction process. This work highlights electron beam irradiation as an effective strategy for defect engineering, offering new opportunities for tuning the performance of photocatalysts.

Utilization of CO2 and its conversion to value-added chemicals are highly desirable to alleviate the environmental concerns caused by the massive anthropogenic CO2 emission. Although In2O3/Pd have been employed as efficient catalysts for hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol, the electronic effects by strong metal–support interaction (SMSI) between Pd and In2O3 are poorly understood, which is greatly affected by the morphology of In2O3. Herein, we use MIL-68(In) nanorod as a morphological template for the synthesis of hollow In2O3 nanotubes (h-In2O3) and the preparation of supported Pd catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol. Interestingly, loading Pd on h-In2O3 showed a much higher performance than In2O3 with other morphologies, which exhibited almost unchanged CO2 conversion of 10.5%, methanol selectively of 72.4%, and methanol space-time yield of 0.53 gMeOH h–1 gcat–1 over 100 h on stream at 3 MPa and 295 °C. After in-depth characterizations, we found that the different electronic properties of Pd species on In2O3 can be finely tuned by diverse synthetic conditions, which were responsible for high activity and stability. The molar fraction of Pd2+ species in the h-In2O3/Pd catalyst reached 67.6%, 3.2 times that of the In2O3@Pd catalyst (21.3%), due to the different surface chemistry of In2O3. Density function theory results indicated that the Pd donated more electrons to the curved In2O3 (222) surface than the pristine surface, and Pd2+ was critical to facilitate H2 adsorption and formation of the surface oxygen vacancy. This work demonstrates that controlling the morphology of In2O3 can modify both the Pd electronic property and SMSI between Pd and In2O3, which are the origins of the high catalytic performance.

It is essential to develop a highly efficient detection platform for tetracycline (Tc). Herein, based on well-designed hierarchical MIL-68(In)-NH 2 /MWCNT/CdS composites as a highly efficient transducer, a label-free visible light driven photoelectrochemical (PEC) aptasensor was systematically fabricated. Characterization results indicate that the forming of MIL-68(In)-NH 2 /CdS heterojunction remarkable facilitated the transfer and inhibited the recombination of charge carriers. Moreover, the transfer properties of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) further improved the photoelectric conversion efficiency by adjusting electron transport routes. The aptamer as a biorecognition unit was grafted on the modified electrode by chemical bonding effect, and Tc molecules could be captured through the specific interaction of aptamer and Tc in solution. The concentration of Tc was detected by observing the fluctuation of photocurrent signals. Under optimized conditions, the proposed aptasensor showed the broad linear range from 0.1 nmol L −1 to 1 μmol L −1 with a low detection limit (LOD) of 0.015 nmol L −1 . Furthermore, the high sensitivity, excellent reproducibility and favorable stability of the PEC sensing platform indicated the potential applications for antibiotic residues detecting in environmental media.

For the first time, visible-light-driven g-C 3 N 4 /MIL-68(In)-NH 2 heterojunction composites with high photocatalytic activity were prepared for the degradation of ibuprofen (IBP) using an in-situ solvothermal synthesis method assisted with ultrasonication. The composites achieved intensive visible-light absorption, enhanced separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers, and high adsorption capacity, thus achieving excellent photocatalytic degradation for IBP. Among all the composites, 10 wt% g-C 3 N 4 /MIL-68(In)-NH 2 exhibited the maximum photocatalytic rate (0.01739 min −1 ), 19.28 and 2.00 times higher than those of g-C 3 N 4 and MIL-68(In)-NH 2 , respectively. Moreover, the pH, ibuprofen concentration, and catalyst dosages played important roles both in photodegradation and adsorption. In addition, the photocatalytic mechanism was also elucidated, demonstrating that h + was the main reactive species, followed by OH and O 2 − radicals, responsible for the degradation of IBP. Finally, seven aromatic intermediates of IBP were identified, and five possible degradation pathways were proposed, mainly involving hydroxylation, aldehyde oxidation, decarboxylation, and dehydrogenization reactions.

This study describes the preparation of a cylindrical polymer foam column termed Chitosan/β-Cyclodextrin/MIL-68(Al) (CS/β-CD/MIL-68(Al)). An ice template-freeze drying technique was employed to prepare the CS/β-CD/MIL-68(Al) foam column by embedding MIL-68(Al) in a polymer matrix comprising cross-linked chitosan (CS) and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD). The cylindrical CS/β-CD/MIL-68(Al) foam was subsequently inserted into a syringe to develop a solid phase extraction (SPE) device. Without the requirement for an external force, the sample solution passed easily through the SPE column thanks to the porous structure of the CS/β-CD/MIL-68(Al) foam column. Moreover, the CS/β-CD/MIL-68(Al) foam column was thought to be a superior absorbent for SPE since it included the adsorptive benefits of CS, β-CD, and MIL-68(Al). The SPE was utilized in conjunction with high-performance liquid chromatography to analyze six sulfonamides found in milk, urine, and water. With matrix effects ranging from 80.49 % to 104.9 % with RSD values of 0.4–14.0 %, the method showed high recoveries ranging from 80.6 to 107.4 % for water samples, 93.4–105.2 % for urine, and 87.4–100.9 % for milk. It also demonstrated good linearity in the range of 10–258 ng·mL -1 with the limits of detection ranging from 1.88 to 2.58 ng·mL -1 . The cylindrical CS/β-CD/MIL-68(Al) foam column prepared in this work offered several advantages, including its simple fabrication, excellent water stability, absence of pollutants, biodegradability, and reusability. It is particularly well-suited for SPE. Furthermore, the developed SPE method, employing CS/β-CD/MIL-68(Al) foam column, is straightforward and precise, and its benefits, including affordability, ease of preparation, lack of specialized equipment, and solvent economy, underline its broad applicability for the pretreatment of aqueous samples.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), with tunable morphologies and porous architectures, show great potential in photocatalysis. A variety of MOFs can be synthesized by changing the types of metal ions and organic ligands. However, fewer studies have explored the influence of the metal-to-ligand molar ratio on the catalytic performance of the resulting MOF-related products. In this work, capsule-shaped NH 2 -MIL-68(In)/InOOH composites were synthesized by adjusting molar ratios of In(NO 3 ) 3 to 2-aminoterephthalic acid. Time-dependent characterization revealed sequential crystallization: rod-shaped NH 2 -MIL-68(In) initially formed in the solution, followed by the in-situ growth of InOOH nanowires on its surfaces via excess indium ions, ultimately constructing a Z-scheme heterojunction. The optimized NM/InOOH (8:1) composite exhibited a larger specific surface area and extended light absorption. The Z-scheme configuration significantly promoted charge carrier separation efficiency while maintaining strong redox potentials of the photoinduced holes and electrons, thereby resulting in 5–8-fold improvement in degradation rates for four dyes (AOII, RhB, MB, and Rh6G), highlighting its broad photocatalytic applicability.

The efficiency of photocatalytic Nitric Oxide(NO) oxidation is limited by the lack of oxygen(O 2 ) active sites and poor charge carrier separation. To address this challenge, we developed a molecular Cobalt Phthalocyanine modified MIL-68(In)–NH 2 photocatalyst with a robust Built-in electric field(BIEF). In the 2 % CoPc-MIN sample, the BIEF strength is increased by 3.54 times and 5.83 times compared to pristine CoPc and MIL-68(In)–NH 2 , respectively. This BIEF facilitates the efficient S-scheme charge transfer, thereby enhancing photogenerated carrier separation. Additionally, the Co-N4(II) sites in CoPc can effectively trap the separated photoexcited electrons in the S-scheme system. In addition, the Co-N4(II) sites can also serve as active sites for O 2 adsorption and activation, promoting the generation of superoxide radical ( O 2 – ), thereby driving the direct conversion of NO to nitrate(NO 3 – ). Consequently, the 2 % CoPc-MIN sample exhibits a remarkable photocatalytic NO removal efficiency of 79.37 % while effectively suppressing the formation of harmful by-product nitrogen dioxide(NO 2 ) to below 3.5 ppb. This study provides a feasible strategy for designing high-efficiency O 2 activation photocatalysts for NO oxidation.

A novel vortex-assisted solid-phase extraction method based on MIL-68(Al)/Chitosan-melamine sponge column (or V-MIL-68(Al)/CS-SC-SPE) is presented in this paper. The MIL-68(Al)/Chitosan-sponge column was prepared by a simple infiltration method and a preparation process that does not consume organic solvents. Scanning electron microscopy was used to characterize the functionalized sponge columns, and the skeleton and pores of the melamine sponge were successfully modified with the coating material (MIL-68(Al) and chitosan). Chitosan was used successfully not only as an adsorption adjuvant material, but also as an adhesive in the preparation of MIL-68(Al)/CS coating sponge materials. The presented method was further combined with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and used in the determination of trace parabens (including methyl-, ethyl-, propyl- and butyl-parabens) in environmental water samples. Several important factors that affect the extraction performance were investigated. Under the optimum conditions, the method was successfully used to detect the four kinds of parabens in different water samples (domestic water, lake water and river water). The limits of detection ranged between 0.21 and 0.50 ng/mL, and the relative standard deviations for all parabens were below 10.8%.

Utilizing metal–organic frameworks as templates to synthesize photocatalysts has garnered increasing attention thanks to their substantial advantages. In this study, Cu-doped ZnIn 2 S 4 with hollow tubular structures was ingeniously synthesized using MIL-68-NH 2 as a template for photocatalytic H 2 O 2 production in ambient air and pure water under visible light. The hollow tubular structures promote light penetration and reflection, furnish substantial accessible reactive sites and accelerate the diffusion of reactants and products. Cu doping notably varies the band configuration of ZnIn 2 S 4 , resulting in a narrower bandgap and a lower conduction band potential. Their cooperative effects enable a respectable H 2 O 2 production from oxygen reduction reactions. The hollow tubular ZnIn 2 S 4 and corresponding Cu-doped counterpart achieved high H 2 O 2 yields of 1153 and 1616 μmol·L −1 , respectively, 3.6 and 5.1 times-increase compared with that of ordinary ZnIn 2 S 4 prepared without MIL-68-NH 2 . This work would provide a new perspective on ZnIn 2 S 4 -based photocatalysts and provoke the study on the green synthesis of H 2 O 2 .

In this work, a metal–organic framework MIL-68(In)–NH2 incorporated high internal phase emulsion polymeric monolith (MIL-68(In)–NH2/polyHIPE) was prepared and applied as a solid phase extraction adsorbent for the extraction and detection of trace triazine herbicides in environmental water samples by coupling with HPLC-UV detection. The fabricated material showed good adsorption for simazine, prometryn, and prometon in water samples because of π–π interactions and hydrogen bonding interactions. Under optimal conditions, the maximum adsorption capacity of simazine, prometon and prometryn was 800 μg g−1, 800 μg g−1 and 6.01 mg g−1, respectively. The linearities were 10–800 ng mL−1 for simazine, prometon and prometryn. The limits of detection were 31–97 ng L−1, and the recoveries were 85.6–118.2% at four spiked levels with relative standard deviations lower than 5.0%. The method has a high sensitivity for the determination of three triazine herbicides in environmental water samples.

To boost the visible light catalytic performance of typical metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) materials (MIL-68(In)-NH 2 ), a novel stable Z-scheme Ag/Ag 3 PO 4 /MIL-68(In)-NH 2 plasmonic photocatalyst was constructed by electrostatic attraction, co-precipitation reaction, and in-situ photoreduction reaction methods for the first time. The photocatalytic activities of the photocatalysts are systematically explored by the photocatalytic degradation of bisphenol A (BPA) and reduction of Cr(VI) under visible light. Ag/Ag 3 PO 4 /MIL-68(In)-NH 2 displays the best photocatalytic performance among the as-prepared photocatalysts. The rate constant of BPA degradation on Ag/Ag 3 PO 4 /MIL-68(In)-NH 2 is 0.09655 min −1 , which is better than many reported photocatalytic materials. It also achieved a maximum rate constant of 0.02074 min −1 for Cr(VI) reduction. The boosted photocatalytic performance is due to the improved absorption caused by localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), effective interface charge transfer and separation, and more reactive sites provided by the large specific surface area. Besides, the photocatalytic degradation pathway of BPA is concluded according to GC-MS analysis. Finally, a more reasonable Z -scheme mechanism is speculated and verified through a series of characterizations and simulations, such as time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy (TRPL), electron spin resonance (ESR), and finite difference time domain (FDTD) method.

Pulsed lasers operating in the mid-infrared are of great importance for numerous applications in spectroscopy, medical surgery, laser processing, and communications. In spite of recent advances with mid-infrared gain platforms, the lack of a capable pulse generation mechanism hinders the development of compact mid-infrared pulsed laser source. Here we show that MIL-68(Al) and MIL-68(Fe), which are aluminum- and iron- based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with ordered atoms distribution and periodic mesoporous structure, constitute exceptional optical switches for the mid-infrared. We fabricated the MIL-68(Al) and MIL-68(Fe) via hydrothermal method and prepared reflection-type MIL-68(Al)- and MIL-68(Fe)- saturable absorber mirrors (SAMs). By employing the as-prepared SAMs in the laser cavities, we achieved high-power nanosecond Q-switched fiber lasers at 2.8 µm. Especially, the average output power and pulse duration of the MIL-68(Al) Q-switched fiber laser reached 809.1 mW and 567 ns, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time to demonstrate that MIL-68(M) can be efficient optical switches for 3-µm mid-IR laser pulses generation. Our findings reveal that MIL-68(M) is promising saturable absorber for compact and high-performance mid-infrared pulsed lasers.
