In a detailed study, the influence of microwave irradiation, synthesis time and temperature, addition of acetic acid (HAc) as a modulator on the morphology, crystallinity and stability of UiO-66-NH 2 is investigated to develop a reliable and reproducible strategy for the preparation of well-shaped UiO-66-NH 2 . The UiO-66-NH 2 were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and gas adsorption. It is found that well-shaped UiO-66-NH 2 with a high CO 2 adsorption capacity can be synthesized in a short time by microwave heating. The UiO-66-NH 2 crystals synthesized by microwave heating are of high quality and show a superior CO 2 adsorption capacity (5.8 mmol/g at 273k and 1 bar) due to the strong interactions between the −NH 2 group and CO 2 . The CO 2 /N 2 selectivity of the obtained UiO-66-NH 2 at 298 K and 1 bar is 66, which is much higher than that of the pristine UiO-66 of 17.8.

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 .

Separation membranes with high solvent permeation and rejection are attractive for energy conservation in waste solvents separation. Herein, ultra-high flux dye separation membrane was firstly obtained by in situ growing continuous thin MOF membranes on commercial non woven fabrics, which overcome the “trade-off” effect of traditional separation membranes. The continuity of MOF membrane is closely related to the grafting density of maleic anhydride (MAH), and the thickness and surface morphology of continuous thin UiO-66-NH 2 membrane (CTUM) can be controlled by tuning reaction time. The CTUM exhibits a molecule weight cut-off of 950 Da and organic solvents permeation of > 2200 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 with the rose bengal (RB) rejection of 99.39 %. The selectivity of CTUM depends on the size screening and electrorepulsion effect, and the permeation of CTUM is at least 10 times higher than conventional separation membranes. Meanwhile, the CTUM is durable under mechanical friction and during filtration. Our work represent a reliable way to make durable MOF membranes for ultra-high permeation organic solvent filtration, which lay a foundation for further exploration of high performance separating membranes.

There is an urgent need to develop catalytic degradation technologies for chemical warfare agents (CWAs) that are environmentally friendly and do not require secondary treatment. UiO-66-NH2and other metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) based on zirconium have been shown to promote the catalytic degradation of CWAs. At the same time, MOFs have been studied, and they have shown interesting properties in CWA removal because of their ultrahigh surface area, tunable structures, and periodically distributed abundant catalytic sites. However, MOFs synthesized by conventional methods are mostly powdery crystals that are difficult to process and have poor mechanical stability, which largely limit the development of MOFs in practical applications. An emerging trend in MOF research is hybridization with flexible materials. Polymers possess a variety of unique attributes, such as flexibility, thermal and chemical stability, and process ability, and these properties can be combined with MOFs to make a low-cost and versatile material that also provides convenience for the subsequent integration of such MOFs into independent substrates or textiles. In this article, we used a green and simple method to coat the surface of UiO-66-NH2with polydopamine (PDA), PDA can promote the catalytic hydrolysis of UiO-66-NH2to DMNP (a simulant of chemical warfare agents). Additionally, it can adsorb the toxic hydrolysis product p-nitrophenol, avoiding the trouble of secondary treatment. The half-life of UiO-66-NH2coated with polydopamine (UiO-66-NH2@PDA) for catalytic hydrolysis is 8.9 min, and that of pure UiO-66-NH2is 20 min. We speculate that the surface coated with PDA can improve the diffusion of DMNP to the active sites of UiO-66-NH2.

Hexavalent chromium in industrial wastewater poses a serious threat to ecosystems. Photocatalytic technology has been seen as a promising strategy for removing heavy metal ions. Construction of heterostructures offered a promising strategy to enhance the separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers, thereby improving photocatalytic performance. Herein, ZnWO 4 /UiO-66-NH 2 heterostructures were synthesized by a two-step hydrothermal method. The synthesized samples were systematically characterized via a variety of techniques, alongside an exploration of the associated photocatalytic mechanism. ZnWO 4 /UiO-66-NH 2 -2 exhibited an exceptional photocatalytic performance, attaining a 97 % degradation of hexavalent chromium within 60 min, approximately 1.3 and 4.7 times that of UiO-66-NH 2 and ZnWO 4 , respectively. The transient photocurrent response, photoluminescence (PL), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) results indicate that constructing heterostructures can effectively accelerate the migration of electrons while simultaneously suppressing the recombination process of photogenerated carriers. In addition, Active species trapping experiments revealed that the photogenerated electrons were the main active substances in photoreduction reaction. This study offers an effective strategy for photocatalytic reduction of hexavalent chromium.

Fabricating metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) membranes directly onto metal surfaces as anticorrosive coatings is a feasible approach for the application of MOFs in corrosion protection . The MOFs membranes with specific organic groups can be further customized as versatile platforms for developing various functional coatings. Herein, UiO-66 and UiO-66-NH 2 membranes are synthesized onto aluminum surfaces through a polydopamine-assisted method, which are then grafted with superhydrophobic molecules of perfluorodecyltriethoxysilane (PFDTES). The -COOH groups in UiO-66 and -COOH/-NH 2 groups in UiO-66-NH 2 can serve as firm anchor sites for covalently grafting with PFDTES, enabling robust superhydrophobicity of the as-prepared coatings. The superhydrophobic surfaces exhibit water repellency (water contact angle of ∼165 o ), chemical (pH and salinity) and wear-resisting robustness, and long-term service durability. They also perform decent anti-fouling, self-cleaning, and anti-icing properties. Notably, sustainable corrosion protection can be provided by both coatings during immersion in saline solution (3.5 wt% NaCl) for one month and during a two-week salt spray test. Compared with UiO-66, the -NH 2 groups on UiO-66-NH 2 as extra grafting sites for firmer immobilization of more PFDTES molecules facilitate more durable superhydrophobicity and corrosion protection. We believe that this work could offer valuable insights into the multi-functional development of MOFs membranes-based coatings.

The Ce-UiO-66-NH 2 material was successfully prepared by oil bath method, and TiO 2 and PANI were compounded on the basis of it, which improved the degradation efficiency of rhodamine B (RhB). XRD, TEM, and XPS characterization confirmed that the composite material formed a core-shell structure and polyaniline was uniformly coated. The composite with 20 μL aniline and CTAB surfactant showed the highest degradation efficiency, and the degradation rate of RhB reached 99.90% within 60 min under ultraviolet light irradiation. The band alignment and free radical trapping experiments show that it follows the ternary Z-type heterojunction mechanism, \( \bullet {\kern 1pt} {\text{O}}_{2}^{ - }\) is the main active species. It provides a new idea for the design of high-performance photocatalysts and is of great significance for promoting the application of photocatalytic technology in water pollution control.

A mixed-matrix membrane was developed by combining defect-engineered UiO-66-NH 2 metal-organic framework (MOF) and nanocellulose. A formic acid-modulated solvothermal method creates linker-missing defects in UiO-66-NH 2 , increasing its specific surface area from 540 to 775 m 2 g −1 . The hydroxyl/carboxyl-rich cellulose forms a robust hydrogen-bonding network with amino groups and defect sites on the MOF, suppressing interfacial defects. The optimized membrane achieves a CO 2 permeability of 303.7 Barrer with CO 2 /N 2 and CO 2 /CH 4 selectivities of 92.3 and 124.0, respectively. This enhancement arises from optimized adsorption sites in the defective MOF and superb MOF-cellulose interface capability coupled with efficient CO 2 transfer through the cellulose network. Moreover, the membrane exhibits good stability over 500 h tests, offering a promising approach to high-performance gas separation.

Biomimetic mineralization is a crucial biotechnology for encapsulating enzymes within metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). While this technique is extensively employed in solvent-based systems, its applicability in mechanochemical systems remains to be explored. In addition, the structural units of MOF composition may significantly influence this process. In this study, we reported that dodecanuclear zirconium clusters act as precursors to facilitate the mechanochemical process of biomimetic mineralization, leading to the construction of cellulase@UiO-66-NH2 (with cellulase abbreviated as Cel). The results demonstrate that dodecanuclear zirconium clusters promote the biomimetic mineralization of Cel@UiO-66-NH2, preventing enzyme degradation by organic solvents. This approach leads to a 20% increase in enzyme activity per unit mass and a 78% improvement in the encapsulation rate. It also enhances catalytic efficiency and substrate affinity compared with Cel@UiO-66-NH2 synthesized with hexanuclear zirconium clusters. The biomimetic mineralization was attributed to the increased local concentration of structural units of MOFs surrounding Cel, as well as transformations in chemical bonding and alterations in enzyme structure. We demonstrated the stability of Cel@UiO-66-NH2 compared to traditional physical adsorption methods and explored its applications in the saccharification of carboxymethylcellulose and microcrystalline cellulose and the high-temperature sequential extraction of polysaccharides from Naematelia aurantialba. Our results revealed that Cel@UiO-66-NH2 retained over 50% of its catalytic activity after eight cycles of carboxymethylcellulose saccharification and maintained 50.9% enzyme activity after five cycles of treatment with microcrystalline cellulose. In addition, we achieved a polysaccharide extraction yield of 10.35% at 70 °C.

To alleviate the supply–demand contradiction of gallium metal (Ga), this study reports a method of preparing 2-CNT/UiO-66-NH 2 composite materials by combining carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with UiO-66 series metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) to improve the recovery and utilization efficiency of Ga in solution. The adsorbent material is used for selective adsorption and recovery of Ga in aqueous solutions. The physical properties of the composite adsorbent, such as morphology, structure, and elemental composition, were explored by analyzing the surface characteristics of the samples. The impacts of variables like the amount of adsorbent used, time, solution concentration, pH value, and coexisting ions on adsorption efficiency were explored during the experiment. The results indicate that ion exchange and chelation play a major role in the adsorption of Ga by 2-CNT/UiO-66-NH 2 , and Ga ions can be separated and recovered from the mixed solution through selective adsorption. At 313 K and pH = 8, the greatest amount of adsorption is 925.44 mg/g, and the rate at which it is absorbed can reach 99% when the adsorption time is only 1 h. The hybrid absorbent generally has a high adsorption efficiency and good selective adsorption performance for Ga, providing more efficient and economical technical assistance for the future recovery and exploitation of Ga supplies.

Cr(VI) is a common heavy metal pollutants present in the aquatic environment, which possess toxic and carcinogenic properties. In this study, a solvothermal reaction was used to prepare porphyrin (TCPP)-modified UiO-66-NH2(UNT). The UNT integrated adsorption and photocatalytics in the application for dealing with Cr(VI). The photocatalytic reduction activities of UNT for Cr(VI) were investigated under visible light illumination. We found that the TCPP doping amount of 15 mg UNT (15-UNT) had a 10 times higher reduction rate of Cr(VI) than pristine UiO-66-NH2. The optimal 15-UNT photocatalyst demonstrated the highest photocatalytic activity, and Cr(VI) was completely removed within 80 min. In addition, the introduction of porphyrin not only enhanced the absorption of light but also enabled the transport of photogenerated electrons from porphyrin to UiO-66-NH2, which promoted the separation of charge carriers. Furthermore, the effects of factors such as porphyrin content, pH and light source on the photocatalytic reduction performances of UNT were also explored. Overall, this work presented a possible relationship between the crystal structures and the performance of UNT.Keywords:photocatalytic reduction;porphyrin;UiO-66-NH2;hexavalent chromium

Photocatalysis is a promising technology for wastewater treatment. It is a key problem to develop photocatalytic materials that can efficiently remove tetracycline (TC) under weak light intensity. This article synthesized the UiO-66-NH 2 /Bi 2.15 WO 6 heterojunction using a solvothermal method, and its specific surface area increases by 2.1 times relative to Bi 2.15 WO 6 , endowing good adsorption capacity for TC. Compared with Bi 2.15 WO 6 , the heterojunction effectively improves the separation of electrons and holes and enhances the photocatalytic performance. Under weak light intensity (4 mW cm −2 ), the removal percentage of 50 mg L −1 TC can reach 78.0%, attributing to a synergistic effect between adsorption and photocatalysis. The free radical capture experiment showed that TC was photodegradation mainly under the action of hole (h + ) and superoxide radical (·O 2 − ). Finally, through LC/MS analysis, it is inferred that TC is degraded into H 2 O and CO 2 after a series of reactions such as deamination, dehydroxylation, amide bond breaking and ring opening. This study provides insights for the synthesis of more powerful photocatalysts for TC removal.
