A membrane-aerated biofilm reactor (MABR) combines membrane technology with biofilm processes and has unique advantages in the treatment of organic wastewater and volatile wastewater. The common membranes for MABR systems usually have relatively uneven pore structures and low bubble point pressure, resulting in unsatisfactory O 2 utilization and wastewater treatment efficiency. In this work, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and UiO-66 (a Zr-based metal organic framework) were coated on the surface of a commercial polypropylene (PP) hollow fiber membrane to prepare oxygen-rich MABR membranes and modules, which showed an attractive O 2 utilization rate and wastewater treatment efficiency. The bubble points of the PDMS and PDMS-UiO-66 membranes were significantly higher than those of the PP membranes, and the PDMS-UiO-66 membranes had better oxygen enrichment capacity and biological affinity. The optimal PDMS-UiO-66 membrane modules had an O 2 permeance of 31.65 GPU (1 GPU = 3.35 × 10 −10 mol m −2 s −1 Pa −1 ), with O 2 /N 2 selectivity of 2.21. The membrane hanging effect and processing capacity for domestic sewage were greatly improved. This study may provide insights and guidelines to fabricate porous mixed matrix membranes and modules in the industry for MABR. The developed products are expected to be applied in the actual separation process. PDMS and PDMS-UiO-66 were coated on the PP support to prepare O 2 -rich MABR membranes and modules. With UiO-66 loading, the module has a higher O 2 /N 2 separation performance, a rougher and more hydrophilic membrane surface. The PDMS-UiO-66 membrane module exhibits a good biofilm hanging effect and high NH 4 + -N removal performance.

UiO-66 type metal organic frameworks (MOFs), including UiO-66 and UiO-66-NH 2 , were synthesized, characterized, and applied for the adsorptive removal of diclofenac (DCF) from aqueous solutions. The effect of synthetic conditions (e.g., different linkers and activation temperatures) and adsorptive conditions (e.g., contact time, initial concentration, temperature, and pH) on DCF removal was examined. UiO-66-NH 2 showed a higher adsorption capacity than UiO-66, and the increase of activation temperature can improve the adsorption capacity of UiO-66-NH 2 towards DCF. The adsorption of DCF by UiO-66-NH 2 was endothermic and almost not affected by pH in the range of 4.8–7.7. The adsorption of DCF onto UiO-66 type MOFs conformed to the pseud second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isothermal model, with adsorption capacity of 357 mg g −1 for UiO-66 and 555 mg g −1 for UiO-66-NH 2 . Electrostatic interaction and H-bonding possibly played a vital role for DCF adsorption. The as-prepared UiO-66 type MOFs were efficient adsorbent for DCF removal from aqueous solution.

Herein, UiO-66 was selected as the immobilization carrier of Rhizomucor miehei lipase (RML). After etching and hydrophobic modification, the functionalized UIO-66 (H-UIO-66-OPA) was utilized for RML immobilization and the obtained RML@H-UIO-66-OPA showed about 70 % relative activity after incubation at 60 °C, which was much better than RML (20 %). RML@H-UIO-66-OPA was used in the synthesis of 1,3-dioleic acid glycerol (1,3-DAG) and the effects of reaction conditions (temperature, enzyme addition, substrate molar ratio, and time) on 1,3-DAG yield were investigated. Under the optimal conditions (temperature of 65 °C, enzyme addition of 2 wt%, substrate molar ratio of 2:1, and reaction time of 4 h), 1,3-DAG yield reached 77 %. Finally, Box-Behnken experimental design method was utilized to optimize the process parameters for the preparation of 1,3-DAG, and the final 1,3-DAG content was 79.80 %, which demonstrated that the model could predict the relationship between the factors and be suitable for the process optimization in 1,3-DAG preparation.

In this study, Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-8 (ZIF-8)-loaded UiO-66-NH2was synthesized, characterized, and analyzed for its potential to efficiently remove dyes. The selective adsorption on ZIF-8-loaded UiO-66-NH2or its parent MOFs (UiO-66-NH2and ZIF-8) in the mixed dyes solution was explored, including anionic dye (methyl orange (MO)) and cationic dyes (methylene blue (MB) and rhodamine B (RhB)). ZIF-8-loaded UiO-66-NH2displayed much better selectivity to MB than its parent MOFs. Adsorption capacity of ZIF-8-loaded UiO-66-NH2(173 mg/g) toward MB was found to be 215% higher than UiO-66-NH2(55 mg/g). A kinetics study based on adsorption data demonstrated that the adsorption process most closely matched with the model of pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm. The adsorption was an exothermic and spontaneous physical process as revealed by the values of thermodynamic parameters. Furthermore, reusability of ZIF-8-loaded UiO-66-NH2was investigated and revealed the significant regeneration efficiency in adsorption capacity for MB even after four adsorption cycles. Experimental results proved that the interaction between ZIF-8-loaded UiO-66-NH2and MB was mainly affected by the mechanism, for instance, electrostatic interaction as well as π–π stacking interactions.Keywords:ZIF-8;UiO-66-NH2composites;metal-organic frameworks;selective adsorption

The electrochemical ammonia synthesis under ambient conditions is a promising process instead of the energy-intensity Haber-Bosch process with the release of huge greenhouse gases. But it still faces sluggish catalytic kinetics owing to difficulty of N 2 adsorption and N≡N bond cleavage. Herein, the uniform ZrO 2 @C with octahedral structure is synthesized via two-step annealing treatment of UiO-66. The formation of ZrO 2 originates from Zr and O elements in UiO-66, and the grain size is confined by the produced carbon matrix from the carbonization of the organic ligand, resulting in more exposure of the active sites. ZrO 2 @C obtained at 650 °C presents excellent electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction performance with a NH 3 yield rate of 6.72 μg h −1 mg cat. −1 and a Faradaic efficiency of 2.68% at −0.6 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE). This work provides a strategy to design metal oxide@C from metal-organic frameworks for nitrogen fixation.

PET (poly(ethylene terephthalate)) is one of the most important type of thermoplastic polyesters and widely used in various fields. Titanium-based catalysts are environmentally friendly and have higher catalytic activity than antimony-based catalysts when used in industry. However, titanium-based catalysts are prone to hydrolysis and result in discolored products. UiO-66 (Zr/Ti) with different Ti 4+ contents were successfully synthesized via one-step method. The material was characterized by XRD, SEM, FT-IR, XPS, BET and TG techniques. The results demonstrates that Ti 4+ was integrated into the UiO-66 framework. NH 3 - in situ DRIFTS, pyridine-IR, and NH 3 -TPD were used to explore the acidic properties of the samples, which proved that stable Lewis acidic sites are present in the samples even at 300 °C. The catalytic performance of UiO-66 (Zr/Ti) containing different Ti 4+ was explored under different conditions. At the same time, the scale-up experiment was carried out in a 5 L reactor, and the PET chips obtained had a lower b value. The catalytic reaction mechanism of UiO-66(Zr/Ti) was demonstrated by DFT calculations and the catalytic performance was close to Sb-based catalysts.

The fluorescent dye molecules have gained wide attention for their applications in areas such as imaging and sensor. However, the properties of the fluorescent dyes are limited due to the built-in problems such as the aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ). Herein, a fluorescent dye@MOF was developed by encapsulating fluorescent dye molecules into the channels of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to disperse them. This composite material SRB@UiO-66, equipping appreciable stability, was successfully obtained with sulfonyl rhodamine B (SRB) integrated into UiO-66. The composite material overtly accelerated the fluorescence property of SRB due to the limitation of nanometer channels on SRB , while UiO-66 has some fluorescence properties. Besides, SRB@UiO-66 with dual emission centers can be utilized as ratiometric sensors for Fe 3+ detection in aqueous solution owing to their high sensitivity and selectivity. SRB@UiO-66 shows a new possibility to fabricate fluorescent molecular probes for the determination of heavy metal ions .

Photocatalytic NO removal technology is considered as one of the most effective green methods for reducing atmospheric NO but there remains the problems of lower efficiency and poor stability of photocatalysts . Rapid recombination of photogenerated electron (e − ) and holes (h + ) is known as a key issue that causes low activity and poor stability of catalysts. Herein, we report a novel AgCu@UiO-66-NH 2 photocatalyst (AgCu@UN) that is made up of AgCu alloy on the surface of Zr-MOF (UiO-66-NH 2 ) by employing in-situ photodeposition method. The experimental results of photocatalytic NO removal indicated that the optimized 0.5Ag0.5Cu@UN sample with 0.5 mg of Ag and Cu exhibited the best NO removal efficiency of 63 % for ppb-level atmospheric NO, more higher than that of pure UiO-66-NH 2 (38 %). The characterizations suggested that the excellent photocatalytic performance of 0.5Ag0.5Cu@UN can be ascribed to the efficient charge separation and transfer and the visible-light-harvesting ability due to benefiting electron migration process between AgCu alloys and UN. Moreover, the enriched electrons around AgCu could be transferred to O 2 to generate more superoxide radicals (•O 2 − ), which could oxidize NO to the final product, nitrate (NO 3 − ). The present findings can provide some novel insights for the design of efficient MOF based photocatalysts to eliminate low concentrations of NO X .

Abstract
In this paper, the palladium nanoparticles were successfully encapsulated in metal–organic framework material, UiO-66, by a facile approach. Based on the microwave-assisted method, the pores of UiO-66 were activated and the metal precursors were reduced at the same time in the presence of reducing agent. The obtained Pd@UiO-66 was characterized via transmission electron microscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, N 2 adsorption and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The Pd@UiO-66 exhibited efficient catalytic activity for the Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reactions at mild condition.

Metal organic framework (MOF), with light weight, high specific surface area, and tenability had significant electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption potential. Ultrathin and efficient UiO-66 MOF/CNT composites are successfully prepared using a simple solvothermal method. The high porosity and large specific surface area of the MOF provide multiple pathways for charge transport, significantly enhancing the probability of EMW reflection and scattering. Under the synergistic effect of CNTs, the conductivity loss and polarization relaxation loss of the composites increased, leading to improved impedance matching. With the combined influence of various attenuation mechanisms, the composites exhibit outstanding EMW absorption performance, with a minimum reflection loss of −54.74 dB and an effective absorption bandwidth of 2.94 GHz at a thickness of 2.04 mm. Additionally, the radar cross section of the MOF/CNT composites was reduced by a maximum of 14.8 dB compared to that of a metal plate, demonstrating excellent practical application potential. Therefore, lightweight, ultrathin, and broadband high-efficiency absorption MOF/CNT composites held significant promise for widespread EMW absorption applications.

The exploration of highly efficient catalysts for the hydrolysis of hydrous hydrazine is of great significance for the achievement of future hydrogen economy. In this regard, herein, a catalyst with NiFePd loaded on the metal–organic framework (MOF) UiO-66 was successfully prepared by a simple and safe chemical impregnation method. Due to its high specific surface area, the as-prepared NiFePd/UiO-66 catalyst exhibited efficient catalytic performance for the generation of hydrogen from hydrous hydrazine in an alkaline solution. The results showed that the Ni0.25Fe0.25Pd0.5/UiO-66 catalyst exhibited optimal properties for the decomposition of hydrous hydrazine in an alkaline aqueous solution with a nearly 100% hydrogen selectivity, good activity, and the high total turnover frequency (TOF) value of up to 662.4 h−1 at 80 °C. Moreover, the Ni0.25Fe0.25Pd0.5/UiO-66 catalyst exhibited good durability, which slightly decreased after five cycles of catalytic reaction at 60 °C.

Adsorption desulfurization is a very effective method to remove thiophenic compounds from fuels. The metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as a new type of desulfurization adsorbents because of their porous nature and large specific surface area. In this study, Cu 2+ was covalently introduced into the UiO-66 framework at the defective sites by the solvothermal method. Further, the π-complexation adsorbent UiO-66-Cu(I) containing Cu + for adsorption desulfurization was synthesized by the methanol vapor-induced reduction. The adsorption performance was tested for the removal of thiophene from the model fuels with different sulfur concentrations. In comparison with the pristine UiO-66, the adsorbent UiO-66-Cu(I) has a higher adsorption capacity for thiophene, reaching 14.8 mg S/g. The competitive adsorption results indicated that UiO-66-Cu(I) has good selectivity for thiophene in the presence of aromatic compounds. From the recycling experiments, this adsorption still has the 86 % of the initial capacity after four cycles, indicating that the adsorbent has a good recycling performance.
