NH₂-MIL(Fe) is grafted onto amino-functionalized NH₂-PS resin to gain micro-nanoscale adsorbent. • SMX adsorption is favorable at pH 5.2–8.0 with an adsorption capacity of 250.61 mg·g −1 . • Hydrogen bonding and electrostatic attraction are the driving forces for SMX adsorption. • The Fe(III) centers in MOF endow NH₂-PS@NH₂-MIL(Fe) Fenton-like catalytic activity. Sulfonamide antibiotics (SAs) are ubiquitous in the aquatic environment and difficult to remove using conventional wastewater treatment processes. Adsorption and Fenton-like oxidation are efficient techniques for the elimination of SAs from water. In this study, a novel hierarchical micro-nano structural adsorbent was synthesized by grafting Fe-based MOFs (NH 2 -MIL(Fe)) onto amino-functionalized polystyrene-divinylbenzene resin (NH 2 -PS). The physicochemical properties and structural features of the composite (NH 2 -PS@NH 2 -MIL(Fe)) were systematically characterized by SEM, EDS, XRD, FTIR, BET and XPS, confirming the successful immobilization of NH 2 -MIL(Fe) on the PS surface and the presence of abundant active sites. The adsorption behavior of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) on NH 2 -PS@NH 2 -MIL(Fe) was evaluated under various conditions, including pH, adsorbent dosage, and coexisting anions. The adsorption process followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm model, indicating a monolayer sorption with a maximum capacity of 250.6 mg·g −1 at pH 5.2 and thermodynamic analyses revealed that the adsorption was spontaneous and exothermic. Based on FTIR, XRD and XPS analyses, electrostatic attraction, hydrogen bonding, π–π stacking, and metal–ligand coordination/Lewis acid-base interaction collectively governed the adsorption of SMX. Furthermore, the Fe(III) centers endowed NH 2 -PS@NH 2 -MIL(Fe) Fenton-like catalytic activity. With the addition of H 2 O 2 , over 95% of SMX was eliminated rapidly from water in a wide pH range. Based on the dual functions, this material can efficiently remove SMX from surface water samples. These results highlight the great potential of NH 2 -PS@NH 2 -MIL(Fe) for efficient removal of sulfonamide antibiotics. Download: Download high-res image (319KB) Download: Download full-size image

Comprehensive Summary Birefringent crystals exhibit significant advantages in the field of polarization state modulation due to their unique optical anisotropy properties. The property optimization between bandgap and birefringence depends on the crystal structure, which is always a key scientific problem in the field of functional crystal materials design. In this work, the fluorination-oriented strategy was applied to the design of crystals with large birefringence and deep ultraviolet (DUV) cutoff edges. By introducing the fluorinated [SiF 6 ] octahedron, the arrangement orientation of the π-conjugated [C(NH 2 ) 3 ] groups was accurately regulated, thereby achieving the design and preparation of a new crystal [C(NH 2 ) 3 ] 2 SiF 6 with a large bandgap (6.34 eV) and large birefringence (0.16 @546 nm). In addition, [C(NH 2 ) 3 ] 2 SiF 6 (GSF) can obtain large-sized crystals through a simple water solution evaporation method, and it has unique advantages such as low cost and easy growth. The synergistic mechanism between the core factors of significant birefringence and wide bandgap in [C(NH 2 ) 3 ] 2 SiF 6 was revealed through experimental characterization and theoretical calculation. This work provides promising candidates with exceptional properties for DUV applications.

The growing concern over pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) in drinking water sources underscores a serious public health risk. Although polyamide (PA) nanofiltration (NF) membranes are highly effective at removing PPCPs, their performance for neutral and hydrophobic PPCPs requires improvement. To overcome this challenge, we fabricated a hydrophilic NF membrane containing a calcium alginate (CaAlg) hydrogel interlayer and UiO-66-NH 2 nanofillers (PA/UiO-66-NH 2 /CaAlg) to reduce membrane affinity for hydrophobic PPCPs. A fishnet-like structure was created on the membrane surface, which enhanced the effective area for filtration. Consequently, the water permeance of the PA/UiO-66-NH 2 /CaAlg membrane reached 22.7 L·m −2 ·h −1 ·bar −1 , representing an 83 % increase over the control thin-film composite (TFC) membrane. The hydrophilic CaAlg interlayer also restricted the diffusion of piperazine (PIP), thereby slowing its interfacial polymerization with trimesoyl chloride (TMC). This resulted in a highly hydrophilic PA film, evidenced by a water contact angle below 10°. The reduced adsorption of hydrophobic PPCPs on this hydrophilic surface diminished the driving force for their penetration. Furthermore, the inherent hydrophilicity of the CaAlg hydrogel interlayer suppressed the diffusion of hydrophobic PPCPs across the membrane. As a result, the removals for hydrophobic methylparaben (MP), propylparaben (PP), bisphenol A (BPA), and benzylparaben (BP) were significantly enhanced. The selectivity ( A/B ) for BPA increased by more than four times compared to that of the TFC membrane. This study demonstrates that integrating a hydrogel interlayer with MOF nanofillers offers a promising approach for developing high performance NF membranes that exhibit both improved water permeance and superior PPCP removal.

Membrane-fouling in forward osmosis (FO) process has limited its application in drug-containing wastewater treatment. Advanced membrane coupled photocatalytic oxidation process has drawn growing interest. In this study, functional photocatalytic thin-film composite (TFC) membranes modified using metal-organic framework of NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) (NM125) were prepared through simple blending during interfacial polymerization process. Due to the intrinsic hydrophilicity and photocatalytic properties of the nano-sized NM125, the modified TFC membrane (NM-6) demonstrates improved permeability-selectivity with a A/B value of 16.19 bar -1 , outstanding light-response functionality (the photocatalytic efficiency is 80.95 % for tetracycline hydrochloride (THC) and 66.76 % for ibuprofen (IBU)), and ∼100 % rejection of THC and IBU in nearly all the FO tests. Furthermore, NM-6 displays excellent operation stability with a 5 % water decline and 98 % water recovery for treating THC-containing feed solution under light irradiation (0.64 kW/m 2 ), while the control membrane of NM-0 showed 22 % of water decline and 85 % water recovery. Our membrane with the property of photocatalytic self-cleaning opens opportunities for developing next-generation anti-fouling forward osmosis membranes.

Allura red (AR) is a water-soluble synthetic colorant often used as an additive in the food industry, but excess AR can be harmful to human health. In this work, we report the development of a new removal method for AR by using amino-functionalized microspheres with Fe 3 O 4 cores and twolayer shells composed of SiO 2 particles and perpendicularly aligned mesoporous SiO 2 (designated Fe 3 O 4 @nSiO 2 @mSiO 2 –NH 2 ). The material exhibits good dispersibility in aqueous solutions and a high saturation magnetization of 45.68 emu g − 1 , and can be magnetically separated efficiently with an external magnet. Importantly, the material has great adsorption capacity of 29.6 mg g − 1 for AR and the capacity for reuse with a simple treatment. The adsorption process is very fast and the kinetics data are consistent with a pseudo-second order model. Based on these, a rapid and efficient method for extraction and analysis of AR in water and soft drinks has been established.

In this study, NH2-MIL-101(Fe)/WO3 heterojunctions were prepared by solvothermal method and then incorporated into polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes via phase inversion method to fabricate recyclable photocatalytic membranes with high degradation performance. The SEM and XRD characterization results indicated that NH2-MIL-101(Fe) and WO3 were physically combined. Using MB as the target pollutant, the membrane with 30 mg of Tungsten trioxide（WO 3 ） doping exhibited optimal degradation performance, achieving complete MB degradation within 100 min and a TOC removal rate of 85 %. During the degradation process, superoxide radicals (·O 2 − ), hydroxyl radicals (·OH) and photogenerated holes (h⁺), played a major role. The results of UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS) and photoluminescence (PL) spectra showed that the incorporation of WO 3 effectively suppressed the recombination of electron-hole pairs and enhanced visible light absorption, thereby improving the photocatalytic activity. Transient photocurrent response (i-t) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) tests further demonstrated that the composite photocatalyst with 30 mg of WO 3 exhibited the highest photocurrent density and the lowest charge transfer resistance. Degradation cycling experiments revealed that after four cycles of degradation, the PVDF photocatalytic membrane maintained high photocatalytic activity for MB. This study suggests that the combination of NH 2 -MIL-101(Fe)/WO 3 and PVDF membranes provides a promising new approach for exploring wastewater treatment solutions.

In this paper, the enhanced adsorption properties and mechanism of NH 2 functionalization titanium-based metal-organic frameworks (NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti)) towards various organic dyes was investigated. First, MIL-125(Ti) and NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) were successfully synthesized and characterized. The as-prepared Ti-MOFs can be facilely magnetized by adsorbing Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles on their surfaces via a Lewis acid-base interaction. Then, three types of dye (cationic dye, anionic dye and vat dye) adsorption measurements show that the electrostatic interaction , π-π stacking interaction and pore filling all play important roles in the adsorption process of both Ti-MOFs in aqueous solutions. Particularly, the amino group in NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) can provide extra hydrogen bonding interaction towards target substances, which results in a stronger interaction force and a higher adsorption capacity than that of MIL-125(Ti). The adsorption kinetics and isotherm suggested the adsorption process of both Ti-MOFs towards methylene blue (MB) were better fitted to a pseudo-second-order kinetic and Freundlich isotherm model. The adsorption thermodynamic experiments demonstrated that adsorption of MB on both Ti-MOFs was spontaneous. However, their values of enthalpy and entropy were opposite, indicating that their adsorption processes were controlled by enthalpy and entropy effect, respectively.

A magnetically recyclable and efficient catalyst for biodiesel synthesis was fabricated by confining the Brønsted ionic liquid 1,4-butanediyl-3,3′-bis(3-sulfopropyl) imidazolium dihydrogensulfate in an amino-functionalized magnetic metal–organic-framework composite (Fe3O4@NH2-MIL-88B(Fe)) through a simple and efficient strategy via the amino groups. The catalyst was systematically characterized, proving ionic liquid was grafted in the amino-functionalized carrier, and the catalyst was spindle-shaped with superparamagnetism (7.2 emu/g). The prepared catalyst with high acidity (1.76 mmol H+ g–1) exhibited good catalytic activity in biodiesel synthesis from oleic acid and ethanol with a yield of 93.2%, optimized by Box-Behnken response surface methodology. The fine catalytic performance of the catalyst was mainly due to the combination of the characteristics of the ionic liquid and the structure of Fe3O4@NH2-MIL-88B(Fe). Moreover, the catalyst was recycled without significant loss of activity after being used for six runs and could be magnetically separated in magnetic force without obvious mass loss.

Carbohydrate antigen 15-3 (CA15-3) is an important biomarker for early breast cancer diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring. This work presents an ultrasensitive fluorescent probe based on a dual-ligand peptides/UiO-66-NH2@AYG composite for CA15-3 detection. Dual-ligand peptides (GTTFSNYW and MHYLEYPF) target distinct CA15-3 epitopes, enhancing the binding affinity and specificity. The peptides are immobilized on UiO-66-NH2, whose high surface area supports efficient loading of the fluorescent reporter Acridine Yellow G (AYG). This probe demonstrates exceptional performance with a linear detection range of 0.05–1.5 pg/mL (R2 = 0.9981) and an ultralow detection limit of 0.004147 pg/mL. Practical validation in spiked mouse serum shows recovery rates of 91.57–103.7%, while clinical testing with serum samples from 10 cancer patients reveals a strong correlation with ELISA results (r = 0.9944, P < 0.001). This robust platform offers significant potential for cost-effective, early cancer screening in primary healthcare settings.

The development of efficient photocatalysts for selective organic transformations under visible light remains a major challenge in sustainable chemistry. In this study, we present a straightforward solvothermal strategy for fabricating a defect-engineered ZrO 2 /UiO-66-NH 2 hybrid material with abundant oxygen vacancies, enabling the visible-light-driven oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde. By optimizing the solvothermal treatment duration, the composite (UiO-66-NH 2 -2 h) achieves a 74.1% conversion of benzyl alcohol with > 99% selectivity toward benzaldehyde under mild conditions, substantially outperforming pristine UiO-66-NH 2 . Structural and mechanistic studies reveal that the solvothermal process induces the in situ formation of ultrasmall, uniformly dispersed ZrO 2 nanoparticles (~ 2.3 nm) within the MOF matrix, while simultaneously generating abundant oxygen vacancies, as confirmed by XPS, EPR, and HRTEM analyses. The defect-mediated electronic structure of the ZrO 2 /UiO-66-NH 2 hybrid enhances visible-light absorption, facilitates charge carrier separation, and promotes efficient activation of O 2 into superoxide radicals (·O 2 − ), the primary reactive species. Transient photocurrent measurements and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy further verify the improved charge separation efficiency. The synergistic interplay between oxygen vacancies and the intimate ZrO 2 /UiO-66-NH 2 interface provides a unique defect-mediated charge transfer pathway, distinguishing this system from conventional heterojunctions. This study demonstrates a facile, one-step approach to integrate defect engineering with interfacial hybridization in MOF-based photocatalysts, offering a scalable route for solar-driven organic synthesis.

Photocatalysis technology has been widely adopted to abate typical air pollutants. Nevertheless, developing photocatalysts aimed at improving photocatalytic efficiency is a challenge. Herein, the linker-defect NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) photocatalyst was synthesized through a convenient one-step heating-stirring method (just adjusting multiple temperatures) to firstly realize efficient photocatalytic performances of NO removal and hydrogen evolution . The optimal sample (named 65-NMIL) with a linker-defect content of 32.08% exhibited a NO removal ratio of 65.49%, which was 37.57% higher than that of pristine NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti), and displayed better H 2 -production activity. Through ESR, it was confirmed that 65-NMIL can generate more •O 2 - and •OH under visible light, and the radical trapping experiment further proved that •O 2 - played a more important role in photocatalytic activity. Moreover, the photocatalytic NO oxidation process was also monitored by in situ DRIFTS , it was found that the defective samples could promote the oxidation of NO and intermediates to the final product (NO 3 - ). On the basis of the above-mentioned photocatalytic experimental results and characterization, a possible mechanism or pathway was proposed and illustrated. This work can provide a new strategy for the subsequent defect engineering for photocatalytic MOFs materials to further solve environmental and energy crises.

Unstable contact interface, inferior charge transmission efficiency and low redox capability significantly inhibit the photocatalytic property of heterojunctions . Herein, a stable AgCl/NH 2 -MIL-68In Z-scheme heterojunction that couples with plasmonic Ag nanoparticles (NPs) to promote efficient long-range charge separation is rationally designed. This heterostructure is successfully fabricated by the in-situ growth of AgCl and Ag NPs on the surface and framework of NH 2 -MIL-68In via a facile ion exchange precipitation approach. Benefiting from the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect of Ag NPs and the interfacial heterojunction, the visible light response is enhanced and the recombination rate of photogenerated charges is weakened. Impressively, the artificial Z-scheme heterojunction exhibits superior photocatalytic activity for levofloxacin degradation. Furthermore, the adjustment of the AgCl and Ag NPs loading ratio of NH 2 -MIL-68In further improves the photocatalytic degradation activity of levofloxacin (0.0222 min −1 ), which is much higher than that of pure NH 2 -MIL-68In ( k = 0.00121 min −1 ) and AgCl ( k = 0.00093 min −1 ). This work not only develops an effective photocatalyst for the degradation of organic pollutants, but also provides a promising sight for feasible designing the more stable Z-scheme heterojunction with efficient charge separation efficiency.
