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.

UiO-66-type metal-organic frameworks (MOF) grafted with organic functionalities (–Br, –NO 2 and –NH 2 ) are introduced to investigate the elemental mercury (Hg 0 ) removal from flue gas, and the effect for adding linkers on Hg 0 removal is discussed. Results indicated that added functional groups did not alter the original topology of adsorbents, although their size and morphology varied. Adding –NH 2 and –NO 2 functional groups was detrimental for the thermal stability of UiO-66 except for -Br functional group, and grafted -Br itself was also stable. The Hg 0 removal ability of UiO-66 was not significantly changed by grafting –NH 2 and –NO 2 . The grafted -Br was beneficial for Hg 0 capture, and the Hg 0 removal performance of UiO-66-Br increased with increasing oxygen content and temperature. Furthermore, the mechanism of Hg 0 capture was studied.

It is a meaningful study to develop adsorbents with high adsorption capacity and fast adsorption rate for the removal of specific ions in aqueous solution. This paper mainly studies the removal of boron in aqueous solution by UiO-66. Regular octahedral structured UiO-66(HAC) via acetic acid-promoted was synthesized by a hydrothermal method. The boron adsorption kinetics, isotherms, thermodynamics, mechanism, and recycling on UiO-66(HAC) were further investigated in batch adsorption process, which found that adsorption capacity of UiO-66(HAC) is enhanced by 40% compared with UiO-66. UiO-66(HAC) exhibits great adsorption performance of 79.43 mg·g −1 at 25 °C and the adsorption process reaches equilibrium rapidly in 2 h. The selective adsorption of boron by UiO-66(HAC) is due to the presence of a large amount of Zr-OH which can chemically adsorb with boron. Compared with traditional boron removal adsorbents, UiO-66(HAC) has higher boron adsorption capacity and is easy to regenerate. It is a promising boron removal adsorbent in aqueous solution.

The development of efficient oxidative desulfurization (ODS) catalysts is of great importance for clean energy. In this study, we report a method for the preparation of defect-enriched UiO-66(Zr) materials via a high-energy ball-milling pretreatment-assisted followed by rapid ethanol crystallization. This method significantly enhances ligand deficiency (46.1 %) and average pore diameter (4.1 nm) without using toxic solvents or pre-synthesized clusters, distinguishing it from conventional solvothermal and one-step mechanochemical approaches. Under the optimal parameters, the resulting UiO-66-BM catalyst exhibits excellent ODS performance, achieving full conversion of dibenzothiophene (DBT, 1000 ppm) within 6 min at 50 °C and 20 min at 30 °C using only 20 mg of catalyst and an O/S molar ratio of 5. The turnover frequency (19.85 h −1 ) and mass specific activity (53 mmol g −1 h −1 ) surpass those of most reported pristine MOFs-based catalysts. Moreover, the catalyst reaction activity maintains high activity over six consecutive cycles, showing excellent stability. The superior performance is attributed to the synergistic effect of ball milling and ethanol crystallization, which generates the enriched structural defects and enlarged mesopores, facilitating mass transfer and active site accessibility. This work presents an effective and eco-friendly strategy for the scalable synthesis of high-performance MOF catalysts for deep desulfurization.

This study developed a novel defective composite material (UiO-66/D-AMP) based on defect engineering and in situ synthesis of ammonium phosphomolybdate (AMP) for the highly selective capture of Cs + and Sr 2+ . The changes in adsorption capacity and surface functional groups of the composite before and after defect engineering were analyzed by adsorption experiment and FT-IR characterization. It was found that the defect-engineered composite had obvious carboxyl groups, and the adsorption efficiency of Sr 2+ was effectively improved. Several analytical methods were employed to verify the effective incorporation of AMP onto the UiO-66 framework. SEM-EDS was utilized to examine surface morphology and elemental composition. FTIR confirmed the presence of functional groups, while XRD analysis validated the crystalline structure. Additionally, TG assessed thermal stability, and BET measurements determined the material's surface area and porosity, collectively confirming AMP loading. The UiO-66/D-AMP composite exhibited significant adsorption affinity for both Cs + and Sr 2+ ions, demonstrating its potential for radioactive wastewater treatment. Under alkaline conditions (pH 10), the composite demonstrated exceptional removal efficiencies of 98.43% for Cs + and 99.54% for Sr 2+ . The maximum adsorption capacities were determined to be 104.3 mg/g for Cs + and 20.18 mg/g for Sr 2+ . Notably, the adsorption kinetics revealed rapid equilibration times of 5 min for Cs + and 60 min for Sr 2+ . The adsorption kinetics of Cs + and Sr 2+ followed the pseudo-second-order model, while the adsorption isotherms fitted well with the Langmuir model. In mixed solutions containing Cs + , Sr 2+ , and four competing ions, UiO-66/D-AMP exhibited excellent selectivity for both Cs + and Sr 2+ . Remarkably, the adsorption capacities for Cs + and Sr 2+ remained stable following exposure to various adsorbed doses. XPS provided direct evidence for the ion exchange mechanism between Cs + and NH 4 + during adsorption. Sr 2+ first exchanged with H + on UiO-66/D-AMP, then coordinated with the oxygen atom in the carboxyl group to be adsorbed.

Enrofloxacin (ENR), characterized by its remarkable stability and resistance to degradation, has become a significant contaminant in aquatic ecosystems. In this study, a CNC/UiO-66(Fe) composite was synthesized via a one-step hydrothermal method, and response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to optimize the key experimental conditions for the efficient removal of ENR from aqueous solutions. The incorporation of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) improved the dispersibility and stability of UiO-66, and significantly enhanced the crystallinity of the material, as confirmed by XRD analysis. Iron (Fe) doping introduced additional active sites and defects, synergistically enhancing the overall adsorption capacity. The composite exhibited a high BET surface area of 1294.81 m 2 /g and a well-developed porous structure. The adsorption process was spontaneous and exothermic, fitting well with both the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm model. Under alkaline conditions, the material showed excellent adsorption performance, with a theoretical maximum adsorption capacity of 275.84 mg/g for ENR at 25°C and pH 10. The adsorption mechanism involved multiple synergistic interactions, including electrostatic attraction, hydrogen bonding, π-π stacking, metal coordination, and pore filling. Furthermore, CNC/UiO-66(Fe) exhibited excellent stability and reusability, retaining over 80% of its removal efficiency after five cycles. This study provides an effective and sustainable approach for remediating antibiotic contaminants in aquatic environments.

Photocatalytic hydrogen production is an effective strategy for meeting energy challenges. Here, a composite for photocatalytic hydrogen production via introduction of UiO-66 nanospheres into flower-shaped ZnIn2S4 microspheres (ZIS/U6) is described. The optimum composite with 20 mg UiO-66 loading displayed the high photocatalytic rate of 1860.9 µmol g−1 h−1 with an apparent quantum efficiency of 1.4% at 420 nm under visible-light irradiation, which is nearly 3 times higher than that of ZnIn2S4. The improved photocatalytic H2 rate mainly benefited from effective electron transfer between ZnIn2S4 and UiO-66. Additionally, we tried to introduce UiO-66-NH2 and UiO-66-(SH)2 with excellent visible light absorption into ZnIn2S4 to obtain composites. Surprisingly, they did not exhibit better photocatalytic hydrogen production rates. Combined with the electrochemical test results, it was found that they had completely different electron transfer paths from ZIS/U6. Therefore, a different photocatalytic mechanism was proposed and further verified by transient photocurrent.

Pervaporation shows great potential in separation of organic-organic mixtures that are widely involved in chemical and petrochemical industries, while the separation performance of polymeric membranes is undesirable for practical application. In this work, we incorporated UiO-66 (ZrCl 4 ) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) into chitosan (CS) membrane to separate methanol-dimethyl carbonate (DMC) mixtures. ZrOCl 2 ·8H 2 O or ZrCl 4 was selected as metal precursor to synthesize UiO-66, which aimed to investigate the structural defect of UiO-66 for the separation performance of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs). BET, 1 H NMR and low-angle XRD characterizations indicated that UiO-66 (ZrCl 4 ) with appropriate pore size is more suitable for preferentially permeate methanol over DMC. IR, dielectric relaxation and DSC characterizations combined with molecular simulations revealed the ideal interfacial morphology of UiO-66/CS MMMs was owing to the favorable molecular interactions including hydrogen bond interaction and van der Waals interaction. Pervaporation separation of methanol-DMC mixtures demonstrated that UiO-66 (ZrCl 4 ) nanofillers can simultaneously enhance the permeation flux and separation factor of CS membrane. The optimized 10 wt% UiO-66 (ZrCl 4 )/CS MMM exhibited total flux and methanol/DMC separation factor of 355 g/m 2 h and 337 for 10 wt% methanol-DMC mixtures at 50 °C, which were 3.4-fold and 25-fold higher than that of the pure CS membrane, respectively, and outperformed the state-of-the-arts polymer-based membranes.

Herein, we studied the adsorption behaviors of organic micropollutants, such as anticonvulsant carbamazepine (CBZ) and antibiotic tetracycline hydrochloride (TC), on zirconium metal–organic framework UiO-66 in water. The maximum adsorption capacities of CBZ and TC on the UiO-66 were 37.2 and 23.1 mg·g–1 at 25 °C, respectively. The adsorption isotherms and kinetics of CBZ and TC were well described by using the Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order model, respectively, and the adsorptions on UiO-66 are endothermic reactions. The adsorption capacities of CBZ and TC on UiO-66 were decreased with the increase of solution pH. The presence of humic acid could improve the adsorption of CBZ and TC on UiO-66, but K+ ion inhibited their adsorption obviously. In addition, Ca2+ and Al3+ ions also suppressed the adsorption of TC on UiO-66. The competitive adsorption suggested that the adsorption sites for CBZ on UiO-66 were different from those for TC. The surface interactions between UiO-66 and the two micropollutants were demonstrated by powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra, scanning electron microscopy, nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms, and X-ray photoelectron (XPS) spectra. The characterizations showed that the adsorption of CBZ on UiO-66 is mainly a physisorption, and the hydrophobic effect played a crucial role during the adsorption of CBZ; meanwhile weak π–π electron donor–acceptor interaction and electrostatic attraction also existed. However, the adsorption of TC on UiO-66 is mainly a chemisorption; in addition to the strong electrostatic attraction and π–π electron donor–acceptor interaction forces, the nitrogenous groups of TC played an important role, which can replace the carboxylic groups coordinated with Zr–O clusters. The obtained results will aid us to comprehend the surface interaction between organic micropollutants and UiO-66 and expand the application of UiO-66 as sorbent for removal of pollutants from water.

Two-dimensional membranes are considered the next generation separation membrane with great application potential due to their excellent separation performance, good mechanical strength and thermal stability compared with traditional membrane materials. In this work, the flexible NH 2 -UIO-66@MXene membrane was successfully prepared for gas separation by loading NH 2 -UIO-66 particles onto Ti 3 C 2 nanosheets based on an in-situ growth strategy. A LiF-HCl mixed solution was used as the etchant to obtain the Ti 3 C 2 nanosheets. The loading of NH 2 -UIO-66 particles can regulate the interlayer spacing of Ti 3 C 2 nanosheets, improving the specific surface area of Ti 3 C 2 and the adsorption capacity for specific gases. The -NH 2 group in NH 2 -UIO-66 enabled preferential adsorption of CO 2 over H 2 , and the CO 2 molecules adsorbed in the channel can even block the molecules passing through, increasing the resistance of CO 2 diffusion. As a result, the NH 2 -UIO-66@Ti 3 C 2 hybrid membrane realizes the selective separation of H 2 /CO 2 mixed gas, and the separation selectivity is as high as 155. The gas separation selectivity and permeation of the final prepared NH 2 -UIO-66@MXene were enhanced and exceeded the upper limit of Robeson upper bound (2017).

In this study, metal–organic framework (MOF) nanoparticles of UiO-66 are integrated with expanded graphite (EG) (UiO-66/EG) by a facile solvothermal approach. The advantages of this nanocomposite UiO-66/EG overcome the poor electronic conductivity and slow diffusion of MOFs for their electrochemical applications. Through electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and electrochemical techniques, the morphology, surface area, and physicochemical properties of this UiO-66/EG nanocomposite are characterized. The UiO-66/EG nanocomposite exhibits superior sensing performance over the UiO-66 and EG when used for nitrite and L-cysteine determination. This includes less positive oxidation potentials and enhanced oxidation currents. Using the UiO-66/EG nanocomposite, the nitrite oxidation peak current is linear with a concentration range of 0.20 μ m to 13.15 m m with the lowest limit of detection (LOD) of 0.06 μ m ( S / N = 3). Meanwhile, superior performance is demonstrated for L-cysteine monitoring, where the oxidation peak current is linear over the L-cysteine concentration in the range of 0.5–250 μ m and of 0.25–3.50 m m and a LOD of 0.28 μ m ( S / N = 3). This UiO-66/EG/GCE nanocomposite is successfully exploited to detect nitrite in food samples and to measure L-cysteine in juice samples. Therefore, the proposed sensing platform enables the fabrication of high-performance electrochemical sensors to accurately quantify nitrite and L-cysteine in complex matrixes.

The adsorption performances of individual adsorbent such as UiO-66-NH 2 and MgAl-layered double hydroxides (MgAl-LDH) toward levofloxacin (LVX) is less satisfactory due to the disappointing uptake capacity and adsorption efficiency. Herein, a 3D flower-like composite adsorbent prepared via iterative hydrothermal synthesis method anchoring UiO-66-NH 2 nanoparticles onto the MgAl-LDH surface. Attributed to the synergistic effects of UiO-66-NH 2 , and MgAl-LDH, the MgAl-LDH@UiO-66-NH 2 exhibits an outstanding adsorption performance toward LVX. Typically, the maximum LVX uptake capacity over MgAl-LDH@UiO-66-NH 2 reached 268 mg/g, which was higher than that of the individual adsorption materials UiO-66-NH 2 (41 mg/g), MgAl-LDH (140 mg/g), and some adsorbents reported in previous literature. The rapid adsorption process can reach equilibrium within 20 min, which conformed well to the pseudo-second-order kinetics and the Langmuir isotherm model. Adsorption thermodynamic result also indicated that the adsorption was spontaneous and exothermic, simultaneous coexisting physical and chemical adsorption interactions. Importantly, the MgAl-LDH@UiO-66-NH 2 still maintained excellent adsorption capacity with a slightly decrease after fifth cycle, exhibiting a remarkable reuse and stable performances. This work provides a highly novel strategy to prepare recyclable composite adsorbent for the LVX capture from aqueous solution.
