The development of non-antibiotic strategies for combating bacterial infections, particularly through reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation accompanying inflammation, has attracted much attention. Despite Allicin (Ac) emerges as a promising antimicrobial agent with wide and remarkable bioactivity, it still displays quite limited ROS scavenging and anti-inflammation capacity due to uncontrolled and poor bioavailability. Herein, a multifunctional nanoplatform with pH-dependent and ROS-scavenging antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and proangiogenic properties is introduced to promote infected wound healing by integrating Ac into silver nanoparticles (AgNPs)-loaded zeolite imidazole framework (ZIF-8), namely Ac@ZIF-8/AgNPs. Primarily, the nanoplatform is activated and controlled release in the infection microenvironment, with disrupting biofilms, scavenging ROS and antibacterial capacitys, outperforming conventional Ac. Moreover, in the mouse models induced by bacterial infection, Ac@ZIF-8/AgNPs can alleviate the inflammatory condition, scavenge ROS, facilitate the regeneration of collagen fiber and enhance vascular formation, collectively accelerating wound healing. Overall, this biocompatible nanoplatform is provided as a reliable approach to solve the long-standing problem of infected wound healing.

The incorporation of inorganic fillers into poly(ethyleneoxide)(PEO)-based solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) is well known as a low-cost and effective method to improve their mechanical and electrochemical properties. Porous zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) is firstly used as the filler for PEO-based SPEs in this work. Due to the introduction of ZIF-8, an ionic conductivity of 2.2 × 10 −5 S/cm (30 °C) is achieved for the composite SPE, which is one order of magnitude higher than that of the pure PEO. ZIF-8 also accounts for the broader electrochemical stability window and lithium ion transference number (0.36 at 60 °C) of the composite SPE. Moreover, the improved mechanism of ZIF-8 to the composite SPE is investigated by zeta potential and Fourier transform infrared spectrograph characterizations. The stability at the composite SPE/lithium interface is greatly enhanced. The LiFePO 4 ||Li cells using the composite SPE exhibit high capacity and excellent cycling performance at 60 °C, i.e., 85% capacity retention with 111 mA·h/g capacity retained after 350 cycles at 0.5 C. In comparison, the cells using the pure PEO show fast capacity decay to 74 mA·h/g maintaining only 68 capacity. These results indicate that the PEO-based SPEs with ZIF-8 are of great promise for the application in solid-state lithium metal batteries.

In this research, a two-step hydrothermal method was used to fabricate a NO 2 sensor based on WO 3 @ZIF-8 core-shell nanorods grown on ceramic tubes. The material's morphology, nanostructure, and composition were thoroughly characterized. The nanocomposites consisting of WO 3 @ZIF-8 showed significant sensing response (65) toward 50 ppm NO 2 at 200 °C. The WO 3 @ZIF-8 core-shell nanomaterials demonstrated exceptional selectivity to NO 2 against TEA and possessed good repeatability. Moreover, the distinctive core-shell nanorods structure promote the process of transferring the electrical charge of the carrier and the response to the targeted gas. The outer coating of ZIF-8 microporous material, with small pore window size (0.5–0.7 nm), had a sieving effect on large molecular interference gases. Further, we combined density functional theory (DFT) calculations and molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the reaction mechanism of the sensors.

Hydroformylation of olefins is one of the most important industrial processes for aldehyde production. Therein, the leaching of active metals for heterogeneous catalysts is an important issue in the hydroformylation reaction, particularly for higher olefins to produce higher alcohols. Here, different Rh/ZnO catalysts with diverse ZnO as a support were investigated and a home-made ZnO50 support was selected to prepare the Rh/ZnO50@ZIF-8 core–shell structure catalyst, which was synthesized by the growth of ZIF-8 with ZnO50 as the sacrificed template to afford Zn source. Compared with the Rh/ZnO50 catalyst, the Rh/ZnO50@ZIF-8 catalyst demonstrated a better cyclic stability in the hydroformylation of 1-dodecene. Combining the experiment and characterization results, it was concluded that the ZIF-8 shell on the Rh/ZnO50 catalyst effectively prevented the leaching of metal Rh into the reaction solution. Moreover, the Rh/ZnO50@ZIF-8 catalyst exhibited good universality for other higher olefins. This work provides a useful guideline for immobilizing the active species in heterogeneous catalysts for the hydroformylation reaction.

The removal of CO2 from biogas is critically important for environmental protection and energy applications yet remains technically challenging in the chemical industry. In this work, novel composite adsorbents featuring ZIF-8 uniformly dispersed on randomly oriented clinoptilolite lamellae (LCP) were designed and fabricated through a straightforward composite method. The synthesis sequentially incorporated metal precursors into LCP via ion exchange and salt addition and then introduced organic ligands to generate ZIF-8. Comprehensive characterizations, including XRD, FT-IR, N2 adsorption–desorption isotherms, SEM, and TG analyses, confirmed the physicochemical properties and structural features of the composites. The synthesized Zn-LCP/ZIF-8 materials exhibited exceptional CO2/CH4 separation performance, demonstrating ultralow CH4 adsorption capacity (<0.1 mmol/g) coupled with superior CO2/CH4 selectivity (≈28). Complementary molecular simulations using Material Studio software provided mechanistic insights into the adsorption and separation behavior, which further confirmed the superiority of the composite structure in CO2/CH4 separation. These results establish an effective strategy for biogas purification, while offering new perspectives for enhancing the CO2/CH4 adsorption selectivity.

Fluorescence technology enabled highly sensitive, real-time and multi-scenario detection of lysozyme (Lys). However, fluorescent nanomaterials suffer from aggregation-induced quenching, environmental interference and lack of selective recognition capability. In this work, the ZIF-8 was used as a framework to support red and blue fluorescence quantum dots for constructing ratiometric fluorescence sensor. At the same time, combined with molecular imprinting technology, a Molecular Imprinting Polymers (MIPs)-based ratiometric fluorescence sensor was designed for improving the sensitive and selective. The MIPs-based ratiometric fluorescence sensor exhibited highly sensitively and selectively for the detection of lysozyme. Benefited from ratiometric design, the sensor could realize the effect of visual detection of Lys and the limit of detection (LOD) was reached 0.048 mg/L. The HPLC method was used to further confirm the sensor has the potential for practical application. Furthermore, to the demand of an affordable and portable strategy for visual detection Lys, a dexterous and inexpensive test paper was made in this work.

Periodontitis, an inflammatory bone resorption disease associated with dental plaque, poses significant challenges for effective treatment. In this study, we developed Mino@ZIF-8 nanoparticles inspired by the periodontal microenvironment and the unique properties of zeolitic imidazolate framework 8, aiming to address the complex pathogenesis of periodontitis. Transcriptome analysis revealed the active engagement of Mino@ZIF-8 nanoparticles in innate and adaptive inflammatory host defense and cellular metabolic remodeling. Through sustained release of the anti-inflammatory and antibacterial agent minocycline hydrochloride (Mino) and the generation of Zn2+ with pro-antioxidant effects during degradation, Mino@ZIF-8 nanoparticles synergistically alleviate inflammation and oxidative damage. Notably, our study focuses on the pivotal role of zinc ions in mitochondrial oxidation protection. Under lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation, periodontal ligament cells undergo a metabolic shift from oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) to glycolysis, leading to reduced ATP production and increased reactive oxygen species levels. However, Zn2+ effectively rebalances the glycolysis-OXPHOS imbalance, restoring cellular bioenergetics, mitigating oxidative damage, rescuing impaired mitochondria, and suppressing inflammatory cytokine production through modulation of the AKT/GSK3β/NRF2 pathway. This research not only presents a promising approach for periodontitis treatment but also offers novel therapeutic opportunities for zinc-containing materials, providing valuable insights into the design of biomaterials targeting cellular energy metabolism regulation.

Bacterial adhesion and colonization can result in chronic non-healing wounds. Current hydrophilic wound dressings can release antibacterial agents into the wound exudate, but may result in overhydrated wounds, bacterial overgrowth, and even tissue maceration. Hydrophobic dressings are anti-fouling, though ineffective to encapsulate and release bactericidal agents. Combining the advantages of hydrophilic and hydrophobic dressings seems difficult, until the development of superwettability surfaces offers an opportunity for omniphobic dressings from intrinsic hydrophilic polymers. Herein, omniphobic porous hydrogel wound dressings loaded with a zinc imidazolate framework 8 (ZIF-8) are fabricated by a microfluidic-emulsion-templating method. The fabricated porous hydrogel membrane with its reentrant architecture is repellent to blood and body fluids, though intrinsically hydrophilic. This unique combination not only reduces the adhesion of harmful microbes, but also enables the encapsulation and release of antibacterial ingredients to wounded sites from hydrophilic polymer networks. As such, the omniphobic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)@hydrogel porous wound dressing can inhibit bacteria invasion and enable the controlled release of the bactericidal, anti-inflammatory, and nontoxic zinc ions. Furthermore, in vivo study of infected full-thickness skin defect models demonstrates that the dressing also accelerates wound closure by promoting angiogenesis and collagen deposition. Therefore, the omniphobic MOFs@hydrogel porous wound dressings are potentially useful for clinical application.

Solvent-evaporated conversion (SEC) and steam-assisted conversion (SAC) have been developed to prepare the typical metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) Cu-BTC (HKUST-1) and ZIF-8 using a unique solvent recovery strategy using zeolite. As a green circulation medium, zeolite Na-4A loading and removal of solvent (H 2 O and EtOH) can transport solvent in the vapor phase and avoid solvent condensation, which was the defect in previous SAC syntheses of MOFs, and achieves efficient solvent recovery as well as being an economical and green synthetic process. Moreover, SEC and SAC processes exhibited different mechanisms during the multi-stage reaction and solid diffusion reaction, respectively and both can synthesize the desired products in 12 h. These two methods for MOFs preparation were characterized in detail using XRD, SEM and N 2 adsorption during the different growing stages. According to polar molecules (H 2 O and EtOH) steam-assisted in those synthesis, polar destruction molecules (H 2 O, NH 3 ) adsorption and stability of Cu-BTC and ZIF-8 was investigated.

Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) have emerged as promising materials for hydrogen separation, combining the processability of polymers with enhanced permeability and selectivity offered by inorganic fillers. However, challenges such as filler aggregation and poor polymer-filler interfacial compatibility limit their performance. In this study, amino-modified bimetallic ZIF (Zn/Co-ZIF-NH 2 ) was synthesized and employed as a novel nanofiller to fabricate 6FDA-DAM-based MMMs, aiming to improve interfacial compatibility between the filler and the polymer matrix. The incorporation of Co 2+ ions into ZIF-8-NH 2 introduced a synergistic effect, optimizing the balance between the rigidity and flexibility of metal-to-ligand bond linkage, while amino groups promoted robust interfacial interactions with the polymer matrix. Compared to the pure polymeric membrane, the MMMs incorporating 40 wt% MOF exhibited a significant enhancement in gas permeability, with H 2 permeability rising from 750 to 3273 Barrer and CO 2 permeability increasing from 840 to 2733 Barrer, corresponding to improvements of 336.4 % and 225 %, respectively. Simultaneously, H 2 /CH 4 and CO 2 /CH 4 selectivities increased to 33.7 and 28.1, representing improvements of 88.3 % and 41 % over the pristine polymer. These performance metrics exceed the 2008 Robeson upper bounds, demonstrating the effectiveness of Zn/Co-ZIF-NH 2 nanofillers in overcoming the permeability–selectivity trade-off. This study underscores the effectiveness of amino-modified bimetallic MOFs as advanced fillers for high-performance MMMs, particularly suited for hydrogen purification and CO 2 separation applications.

A facile approach was successfully developed for synthesis of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC)-supported magnetic CuFe2O4@Ag@ZIF-8 nanospheres which consist of a paramagnetic CuFe2O4@Ag core and porous ZIF-8 shell. The CuFe2O4nanoparticles (NPs) were first prepared in the presence of CNC and dispersant. Ag NPs were then deposited on the CuFe2O4/CNC composites via an in situ reduction directed by dopamine polymerization (PDA). The CuFe2O4/CNC@Ag@ZIF-8 nanocomposite was characterized by TEM, FTIR, XRD, N2adsorption-desorption isotherms, VSM, and XPS. Catalytic studies showed that the CuFe2O4/CNC@Ag@ZIF-8 catalyst had much higher catalytic activity than CuFe2O4@Ag catalyst with the rate constant of 0.64 min−1. Because of the integration of ZIF-8 with CuFe2O4/CNC@Ag that combines the advantaged of each component, the nanocomposites were demonstrated to have an enhanced catalytic activity in heterogeneous catalysis. Therefore, these results demonstrate a new method for the fabrication of CNC-supported magnetic core-shell catalysts, which display great potential for application in biocatalysis and environmental chemistry.Keywords:CuFe2O4nanoparticles;cellulose nanocrystals;Ag nanoparticles;ZIF-8 catalysis;4-nitrophenol reduction

Zeolite imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) represent a class of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for various potential applications due to their outstanding properties. However, to date, the creation of nanoframes with tunable structure faces a challenge. Herein, we develop a facile and efficient physical method that allows the preparation of ZIF-90 with controllable surface area. In this study, the effect of various stirring time and speed in the acceleration of the precursor dissolution are revealed. The study shows that a moderate stirring speed (640 r · min –1 ) and reaction time (6 h) are the optimal conditions to synthesize ZIF-90 with a high adsorption capacity. More importantly, the maximum adsorption amount of n -hexane is up to 211 mg · g –1 by using this as-prepared sample, which increases by 60 % in comparison with that of the minimum from other sample (133 mg · g –1 ).
