Selective removal of organic pollutants by PMS-activated heterogeneous catalytic system has become one of the commonly used methods, but the adsorption of the catalyst is often ignored in the degradation process. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are often used in the field of environment because of their high porosity and structural diversity/adjustability. However, there are still difficulties in the aggregation and recycling of nanoparticles . This study effectively synthesized the material CuS-PVP@ZIF-67 by using hollow spherical CuS as the carrier of Co-MOF (ZIF-67) to solve these problems. A high concentration of oxytetracycline hydrochloride (OTC) can be successfully adsorbed by electrostatic attraction and π-π interaction, and small amount of PMS may be quickly activated, and the removal rate of OTC is 94.82 % in 20 min. The catalyst used can be easily recovered by suction filtration and has good reusability. In addition, a potential cooperating mechanism for adsorption-PMS activation has additionally been proposed. The degradation pathway of OTC is determined, and the potential harm of intermediate products is analyzed. This work aims to create a heterogeneous catalytic system with significant adsorption and catalytic ability to remove refractory organic contaminants in water.

The inverse spinel-structured Fenton-like catalyst, magnetic Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles, effectively activates peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to achieve the degradation of tetracycline (TC). However, a significant challenge remains in accelerating the Fe 3 + /Fe 2+ cycling during the activation process. Herein, Fe 3 O 4 /ZIF-67/Ti 3 C 2 T x (FCT) magnetic composite materials were synthesized via a wet chemical method and comprehensively characterized. The degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TC-HCl) was investigated by activating PMS with FCT, with a focus on the effects of charge transfer and transition metal ion valence state changes on sulfate radical (•SO 4 - )-based advanced oxidation processes. FCT-1 exhibited high efficiency in activating the PMS system for the removal of TC-HCl, achieving complete degradation of 10 mg/L TC-HCl within 10 minutes. A synergistic catalytic mechanism to activate PMS by FCT was proposed, primarily involving the electron-donating ability of Fe 2+ in Fe 3 O 4 , which enhances the Co 3+ /Co 2+ cycle, and the reduction capability of Ti 3 C 2 T x towards Fe 3+ . Additionally, FCT exhibited excellent recyclability and facilitated magnetic separation. Overall, this work provides new opportunities for developing efficient environmental catalysts with magnetic recoverability.

The development of a catalyst that is efficient, clean, simple, inexpensive, and conducive to a wide range of industrial applications is the key to achieving water electrolysis for hydrogen production. In this paper, iron-doped ZIF-67 materials were synthesized using a one-step hydrothermal method, with the different molar ratios of n (Fe3+): n (Co2+) = 0.05%, 1%, 2%, 5%, 10%. We found that trace amounts of iron greatly changed the particle size of ZIF-67. After high-temperature pyrolysis (400 °C, 600 °C, and 800 °C), the electrochemical results showed that the content of doped iron and different pyrolysis temperatures lead to different hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) effects. The 1% Fe/Co-600 sample with the overpotential (202 mV) at 10 mA·cm–2 and the Tafel slope (125.1 mV·dec–1) was significantly lower than other iron-doped materials and exhibited a better HER performance, though still higher than the commercial Pt/C (5 wt %) catalyst with the overpotential of 179 mV at 10 mA·cm–2 and the Tafel slope of 67.8 mV·dec–1. Significantly, the 1% Fe/Co-600 sample has strong stability. After pyrolysis, the 1% Fe/Co-600 sample still had a large specific surface area of 290.1763 m2·g–1 and a porous structure consisting of micropores and mesopores, which improved the catalytic effect. It may provide a new way to modify the catalyst geometry and design and prepare low-cost and high-activity Co-based catalysts.

g-C3N4@ZIF-67 composite photocatalyst-supported NiSx are successfully prepared by a hydrothermal method using g-C3N4 and ZIF-67 as carriers. The synthesized composite catalyst has an efficient photocatalytic H2 production effect. Under visible light irradiation, the maximum H2 production within 5 h over the [g-C3N4@ZIF-67/(10%wt)NiSx] photocatalyst is 208 μmol, which is 8.32 times higher than that of pure g-C3N4. Based on the analysis of scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy, it is not only known that g-C3N4 and ZIF-67 provide space for the loading of NiSx nanoparticles but also that ZIF-67 as a carrier framework can effectively reduce the particle size of NiSx nanoparticles and increase the dispersion of NiSx. Further studies of photoluminescence (PL), time-resolved PL, i–t, linear scanning voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and Mott–Schottky curves, we can not only know that the modification of NiSx nanoparticles do enhance the electron transfer ability but also that the matched conduction band position between g-C3N4 and ZIF-67 provides a feasible thermodynamic path for the transmission of electrons. Based on the DFT calculations, both NiS2 and Ni3S4 show the metallic characteristics, which means the outstanding electrical conductivity of them and implies the excellent capability to transport electrons. The work function of NiSx with metallic properties is more negative than that of the semiconductor, which indicates that the loading of NiSx can further promote the separation of electrons, thereby improving the H2 production efficiency.

Zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)-supported flower-like porous MnO2 (ST@ZIF-67/MnO2) was fabricated through SiO2-guided preparation of the ZIF precursor and subsequent in situ synthesis and deposition of MnO2. The specific porous structure can effectively shorten the ion transport channels, expose more active sites, and improve the tolerance toward volume expansion during the cyclic process, thus resulting in enhanced supercapacitive properties. Typically, the ST@ZIF-67/MnO2-based electrode delivered a high specific capacitance of 278.6 F g–1 at 0.5 A g–1, which is almost 10 times that of pristine ZIF-67 and 1.5 times that of the composite without using the SiO2 template (ZIF-67/MnO2). Additionally, the electrode showed good electrochemical cycling stability with 80.3% retention after 10, 000 cycles at 10 A g–1. Our strategy of growing porous transition metal oxides on ZIFs provides a viable pathway for developing efficient electrode materials for energy storage devices.

MOFs-reinforced electrospun carbon nanofibers offer a wide range of applications in the field of energy storage. In this study, ZIF-67 nanoparticles were produced and combined with polyacrylonitrile for electrospinning before being stabilized and carbonized to form a carbon nanofiber. BET, FT-IR, EA, DSC , and other techniques were used to investigate the stabilizing behaviors of PAN electrospun fiber with varying ZIF-67 concentrations at different temperatures. Under the same stabilizing settings, it was discovered that PAN electrospun fiber containing ZIF-67 nanoparticles could absorb more oxygen, promoting a higher degree of cyclization and crosslinking. Therefore, it was preferred to prepare carbon nanofibers at a lower stabilization temperature. Importantly, the degree of stability and disorder of the PAN/ZIF-67 stabilized fiber has been described by the FT-IR and the Raman spectra . This research deepens understanding about the formation of MOF-reinforced carbon nanofibers and expands our knowledge of the stability of PAN/MOF hybrid fibers.

The high internal phase emulsion (HIPE) template method is widely used to prepare porous functional materials because of its designable emulsion components and adjustable porosity. Herein, amphiphilic gelatin (GE) as the sole emulsion stabilizer, and no additional emulsifiers were added to prepare a stable GE-HIPE membrane and its zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) hybrid composite membrane. The ZIF-67/GE-HIPE composite membrane has good lipophilicity by constructing dual micro-nano structures by HIPE template and in situ growth of ZIF-67. When ZIF-67 was grown in situ, the water contact angle (CA) increased from 58.1 ± 2° for the GE membrane to 121 ± 1.9° for ZIF-67/GE-HIPE composite membranes. Besides, the minimum CA of organic solvent is 4.5 ± 0.7° ( n -hexane). The ZIF-67/GE-HIPE composite membranes exhibit good O/W emulsion separation properties and adsorption removal ability of organic pollutants. After 10 times of recycling emulsion separation, the emulsion separation capacity of the membrane was still greater than 99.4%. The lipophilic dye removal rate of the ZIF-67/GE-HIPE composite membrane was 2.37 times higher than that of GE-HIPE, and the adsorption process conforms to the pseudo-second-order model. Thus, this work provides a strategy for the preparation of GE-based hydrophobic modified membrane and also presents a typical treatment of adsorption-separation of lipophilic substances.

Developing hybrid metal sulfide electrocatalyst with excellent hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalytic performance and stability is vital to its commercial applications. Herein, hybrid CuCo 2 S 4 @ MoS 2 catalysts were designed with CuCo 2 S 4 synthesized by using ZIF-67 as a template and externally decorated with MoS 2 . The hybrid catalysts (denoted as C@M-0.5, C@M − 1, C@M − 2) show improved catalytic activity than those of MoS 2 and CuCo 2 S 4 due to large surface area and the interface between nanoflower-like MoS 2 and three-dimensional interconnected lamellar stacked CuCo 2 S 4 , which boost charge transport capability and improve the HER kinetic process. The influences of different ratio of CuCo 2 S 4 to MoS 2 on the electrocatalytic activity are investigated in detail. Specifically, C@M − 1 exhibit the best HER performance with an overpotential of 143 mV@ 10 mA/cm 2 , a Tafel slope of 45.2 mV/dec and satisfactory long-time stability. This work rationally designs hybrid CuCo 2 S 4 @MoS 2 catalyst to preserve the merits of using the ZIF-67 as a template and make use of the synergistic coupling effects between CuCo 2 S 4 and MoS 2 , which can be extended to synthesize other catalysts in different energy conversion fields.

In this work, an efficient cage-core peroxymonosulfate (PMS) catalyst was synthesized by applying an electrospinning–calcination process to the cobalt–zeolitic imidazole framework (ZIF-67) crystals for the catalytic degradation of dimethyl phthalate (DMP). The morphology and surface properties of the synthesized materials (ZIF-67, Z600 and ZP400/600/800) were well characterized. ZP600 showed great performance for the catalytic degradation of DMP in the initial pH range of 7.5–10.5. The removal rate of DMP could reach 90.4% in 60 min under optimum dosages of reagents (catalyst = 0.1 g/L, PMS = 0.5 mM, DMP = 6 ppm), and the mineralization degree of contaminant could reach 65%. By quenching experiments, it was determined that sulfate radical (SO4−·) and hydroxyl radical (·OH) dominated the degradation process. Moreover, due to the good magnetism, ZP600 could be easily separated from liquid and showed great reusability in five-cycle reaction experiments. Surprisingly, with the cover of cage-like polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers, the cobalt leaching amount of ZP600 decreased by about 87%. This study would expand the application of the electrospinning process in the development of functional materials for water purification.Keywords:elctrospinning;ZIF-67;peroxymonosulfate;cobalt leaching control

This study explored the synthesis of zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) nanoparticles using a microfluidic reactor, focusing on the effects of reactant concentration, temperature, and flow rate on the material’s properties. Design Expert software was utilized to optimize these variables to enhance the synthesis process while preventing reactor clogging due to precipitate formation. The experiments varied concentrations of cobalt (II) nitrate hexahydrate and 2-methylimidazole, along with temperature and flow rates. After synthesis, the samples underwent extensive characterization, including FTIR, NMR, TEM, SAED, and XRD analyses. FTIR results confirmed the successful formation of ZIF-67, with varying conditions leading to shifts in peak positions and intensities, indicating changes in bonding and molecular structure. NMR spectra provided insights into the hydrogen environments within the nanoparticles. TEM and SAED analyses revealed that the nanoparticles predominantly exhibited a uniform rhombic dodecahedral morphology with diameters ranging from 5 to 10 nm. XRD patterns were consistent with simulated data, showing variations in peak positions and crystallinity with changes in synthesis conditions. The study highlighted that increasing reactant concentrations, temperature, and flow rate generally enhanced the production rate and crystallinity of ZIF-67, with 2-methylimidazole concentration having the most significant impact. The findings contributed to optimizing ZIF-67 synthesis, demonstrating the feasibility of using microfluidic reactors and green solvents for producing high-quality nanoparticles with controlled properties.

With the development of the boron industry, boron pollution is getting more and more serious, and excessive boron will harm human health. In this paper, graphene oxide was used as a template to prepare ZIF-67, and GO/ZIF-67 was successfully prepared. GO/ZIF-67 was used for the first time to remove boron from water. SEM, XRD, and other characterization methods were used to confirm the structure. The adsorption kinetics, adsorption isotherm, adsorption thermodynamics, and adsorption mechanism of boron by GO/ZIF-67 were studied in this paper. The adsorption capacity of GO/ZIF-67 for boron is up to 66.65 mg·g −1 at 25 °C, and adsorption process reaches equilibrium in 400 min. Adsorption kinetics indicates that the adsorption process conforms to the pseudo-first-order kinetic model, and adsorption thermodynamics indicates that the adsorption process is a spontaneous endothermic process controlled by entropy change. The adsorption capacity of boron by GO/ZIF-67 does not decrease significantly after four cycles. The adsorption of boron by GO/ZIF-67 has both chemical and physical adsorption. From Zeta potential and adsorption kinetics, it can be seen that there is physical adsorption during the adsorption process and boron mainly has positive charge on the surface of GO/ZIF-67 and graphene oxide hydroxyl bonding. Based on the adsorption thermodynamics and XPS, it is known that there is chemisorption during the adsorption process, and mainly the combination of boron and cobalt sites.

Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs)-based core–shell structured nanomaterials were synthesized. As supercapacitor electrode materials, they exhibit excellent performance due to the advanced intrinsic properties of ZIFs, such as high porosity, good stability and large surface area. The materials were characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, FT-IR, XPS and BET. When synthesized core–shell structured nanomaterial was tested in a 3-electrode system, it exhibited a high specific capacitance of 1176.8 F g −1 at a current density of 1 A g −1 and a good cycling performance with 98.3% initial capacity retention after 1000 continuous charge–discharge cycles. An asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) device was assembled by employing ZIF-67@amorphous ZIF and activated carbon as positive and negative electrode materials, respectively. The as-assembled ASC devices exhibited excellent stability that retained almost 100% of the initial capacity after 2000 cycles. To demonstrate the practical application of the ASC, two simple fully charged ASCs can light up the LED for over 2 min, which proved that the core–shell structured ZIF-67@amorphous ZIF material has a suitable potential for supercapacitor applications.
