Currently, separation of ester/alcohol azeotropes such as methyl methacrylate (MMA)/methanol is a typical energy-intensive process using distillation technology. In principle, pervaporation membrane technology can separate azeotropes with higher energy efficiency, while the membrane performance could not meet the application requirement. We reported a new type of MOF ligand side group regulated UiO-66/PDMS mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) to selectively separate MMA from the its methanol azeotrope. The incorporation of UiO-66 fillers improved the MMA/methanol performance of PDMS membrane. The results of molecular simulation and characterizations revealed that compared with the pristine UiO-66 and UiO-66-CH 3 , amino groups of UiO-66-NH 2 showed stronger interaction energy and thus higher affinity towards MMA molecule. Therefore, although the pore size of UiO-66-NH 2 is larger than the molecular kinetic diameters of MMA and methanol, the tunable chemical environment and molecular interaction promoted the selective transport of MMA. The optimal UiO-66-NH 2 /PDMS MMM displayed an outstanding separation performance with a total flux of 2.07 kg m −2 h −1 and a separation factor of 5.7 for 18 wt% MMA/methanol azeotrope at 40 °C. The membrane exhibited an excellent long-term performance during continuous separation process of ∼3400 h, and showed potential in scale-up fabrication and separation of other ester/alcohol azeotropes. The proposed MOF ligand side group regulation offers a promising strategy to develop high-performance membranes for azeotropic separation.

The precise manipulation of pore structure, organic linkers, and disposition of active and co-active sites in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)-based materials allows for the design of materials with tailored catalytic properties. However, studies that address their kinetic, dynamic, and mechanistic roles in target reactions are scarce. The development of a new functionalization method to introduce acidity into MOFs is established for heterogeneous catalysis. Exploring the effect of ligand functionalization in MOF type UiO-66(Zr) impacts its ability to catalyze the dimerization reaction of cyclohexanone. Upon treatment with a series of linkers and the addition of HCl, chemically stable MOF structures such as UiO-66 can be protonated, resulting in an acidic group attached to aromatic terephthalate linkers in the structure. A general synthetic strategy has been developed to produce functionalized UiO-66-FG compounds [FG = NH2, NO2, Br, OH, and (OH)2]. The functionalized acidic frameworks present enhanced catalytic activity toward the self-condensation of cyclohexanone. Investigating these aspects can provide valuable insights into how the functionalization of MOFs performs in real-world self-condensation scenarios and help in optimizing their practical applications.

In this research, the modified upconversion nanocrystals NaYF 4 :Yb,Er were adopted as the precursors for the synthesis of the NaYF 4 :Yb,Er@UiO-66 composite. The XRD, XPS and TEM characterizations indicated that the composite has good crystallinity and uniform morphology. Under 980 nm excitation, the NaYF 4 :Yb,Er@UiO-66 composite exhibits bright upconversion emission that characterized of Er 3+ : 2 H 11/2 → 4 I 15/2 , 4 S 3/2 → 4 I 15/2 , and 4 F 9/2 → 4 I 15/2 radiative transitions. After modified with BPEI (branched polyethyleneimine), the NaYF 4 :Yb,Er@UiO-66/BPEI fluorescence probe was constructed and was used for the detection of Cu 2+ . The results revealed that the integrated emission intensity of Er 3+ displayed a linear relationship with the concentration of Cu 2+ within the range of 5 to 45 μM with a LOD of 0.9615 μM. This study offered a feasible method for constructing UCNC@UiO-66 composites with regular morphology,which may have a potential application as fluorescent probes for the detection of various metal ions by adjusting the doping luminescent center.

A series of molybdenum-based catalysts were prepared using UiO-66 modified with functional ligands as a carrier. The catalyst structure was characterised using XRD, FT-IR, N 2 adsorption desorption isotherms, TEM and XPS. The introduction of -F atom expanded the pore structure of catalyst and increased the specific surface area, resulting in a greater number of active site and more dispersion. The introduction of functional ligands (-F, -NO 2 ) enhanced the electron attraction capacity of catalyst, and improved the microenvironment around the active centre of the catalyst, which contributed to enhance the catalytic performance. The effect of catalyst structure on catalytic activity was investigated using the removal of dibenzothiophene (DBT) from simulated oils as a probe reaction. Under the optimum reaction conditions, the catalyst (UiO-66-NO 2 -F-MoO 3 ) was found to be the most effective for the DBT conversion, reached 99.1%. After 5 desulfurization experiments, the desulfurization activity of the catalyst cound still reach 90.6 %, indicating that the catalyst had good cyclic stability, which was closely connected to the hydrophobicity of the -F atom. The introduction of -F atom improved the hydrophobicity of the catalyst so that the generated sulfone was not easy to be adsorbed on the active site and improved the cyclic stability of the catalyst. Furthermore, the increase in the number of Mo active species was important in improving the cyclic stability of the catalyst.

The highly selective and sensitive detection of paraoxon residues at low environmental concentrations remains challenging. Herein, a novel fluorescent metal-organic framework composite (Ce 4+ @UiO-66-NH 2 ) with excellent phosphatase-like activity was developed to catalyze the hydrolysis of paraoxon into yellow p -nitrophenol ( p -NP), which quenched the composite's blue fluorescence via the inner filter effect. Based on this mechanism, a simple, portable, non-biological colorimetric/fluorescent hydrogel nanosensor (CM-SA spheres) was constructed by incorporating red fluorescent Mn-CDs with aggregation-induced emission as an internal reference. Upon increasing paraoxon concentration, the spheres showed visible color changes from colorless to yellow under daylight and blue to red under UV light. The sensor demonstrated a visual detection sensitivity of 0.05 μg mL −1 and limits of detection of 0.013 μg mL −1 (daylight) and 0.027 μg mL −1 (UV). In real sample analyses of tea and water, the CM-SA spheres exhibited strong anti-interference capability and reliability, offering a practical strategy for paraoxon degradation and detection.

Pt/C is one of the most favorable catalysts with high catalytic activity used in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, the synthesis of Pt/C with superior durability is still a significant challenge. Here, we introduced a simple technique to fabricate a Pt/N-C catalyst, having ultrasmall Pt nanocrystals encapsulated inside a nitrogen-doped carbon support, which is derived by the UiO-66-NH2 (MOF) using an impregnation technique, followed by a pyrolysis process. This Pt/N-C displays ORR activity and durability in alkaline solution with a half-wave potential of 0.90 V (vs RHE), limited diffusion current density of 5.5 mA cm–2, and only 5 mV deterioration in half-wave potential after testing 20,000 cyclic voltammetry (CV) cycles. In addition, it also shows good performance in acidic solution. In addition, Zn–air batteries (ZABs) assembled using the Pt/N-C air electrode display a high specific capacity of 825 mAh g–1, a high peak power density of 372 mW cm–2, and 208 h long cycle life. This offers an innovative approach for developing noble metal-based catalysts with unusual activity, stability, and a promising future for applications in metal–air batteries and fuel cells.

Chlorogenic acid (CGA), a dietary polyphenol with antioxidant and therapeutic benefits, can be harmful at high concentrations, necessitating sensitive detection in food. This study presents a ZrO 2 -ZrC-doped laser-induced graphene (ZrO 2 -ZrC-LIG) electrode prepared via a one-step laser carbonization of UiO-66/polyimide film. Structural analysis reveals a three-dimensional porous network with uniformly dispersed ZrO 2 and ZrC nanoparticles in graphene, which increases defect density, conductivity and surface area. The optimal conditions of laser-induced parameters such as power and carving depth for the electrode fabrication were selected. Under the optimal conditions, the electro-oxidation of CGA on the ZrO 2 -ZrC-LIG electrode was carefully investigated with electrochemical parameters calculated. The presence of ZrO 2 , ZrC and LIG exhibited an enhancement to the CGA oxidation with a pair of well-define redox peaks appeared, which was attributed to the faster electron transfer, higher electrocatalytic activity and synergistic effects. When integrated with a wireless portable electrochemical workstation, the fabricated sensor shows excellent analytical performance for CGA detection, including a wide linear range (0.1 μM to 1.0 mM), a low detection limit of 33 nM (3σ), along with high selectivity, stability, and reproducibility. When applied to apple and Eucommia ulmoides samples, it achieves the recoveries of 99.26–103.14%, confirming good analytical reliability. This simple and scalable method offers a promising strategy for developing flexible, portable electrochemical sensors for food safety and nutrition monitoring.

A set of phosphomolybdic acid catalysts was synthesized by employing ligand-functionalized UiO-66 as the support. The structural properties of these catalysts were characterized via XRD, FT-IR, BET, TEM, and XPS techniques. To explore the influence of catalyst structure on its catalytic performance, the desulfurization of dibenzothiophene (DBT) from simulated fuel was utilized as a model reaction. Under optimized reaction parameters, the Co-POM-UiO-66-NO 2 -F catalyst exhibited the highest DBT conversion efficiency, achieving 99.3%. After five consecutive desulfurization cycles, the catalyst retained a desulfurization activity of 91.8%. This excellent stability was attributed to the incorporation of the –F group, which enhanced the catalyst’s lipophilicity and hydrophobicity. Additionally, the incorporation of –F groups increased the content of the Mo active species (Mo 5+ ), regulated the electronic structure of the catalyst, and optimized the microenvironment surrounding the active centers, which collectively contributed to the enhanced catalytic performance.

The synergistic coupling of nonthermal plasma (NTP) with catalysts offers a promising route for converting CO2/H2O into high-value-added chemicals, but its efficiency is hindered by low-activity catalysts and electron quenching by gaseous H2O. Herein, we propose a “surface electron-enriched microenvironment” strategy to construct a UiO-66(SH)2 catalyst to boost NPT CO2 conversion. Under dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma conditions, the UiO-66(SH)2 catalytic system achieves a CO2 conversion rate of 42.19%, which is 1.88 and 38.87 times higher than that of the unmodified UiO-66 system and plasma-only system, respectively. CO was identified as the dominant carbon-containing product with a selectivity of 82.39%, along with CH4 and trace C2–C3 hydrocarbons. Theoretical calculations and experimental results confirm that the thiol groups in UiO-66(SH)2 create an electron-enriched microenvironment, which significantly enhances the adsorption and activation of CO2 while effectively suppressing the electron quenching effect of gaseous H2O on a plasma-induced CO2 dissociation process. Furthermore, thiol functional groups create an electron-rich microenvironment, effectively reducing the free-energy barrier for the formation of the key intermediate *COOH and thereby accelerating CO2 conversion kinetics. This research provides a rational strategy for achieving efficient and highly selective plasma catalytic CO2 conversion through the metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) functionalization.

Efficient utilization of long-wavelength visible light remains a key challenge in developing metal-organic-framework-based photocatalysts for solar-driven pollutant removal. To address this issue, carbon quantum dot (CQD)-modified UiO-66-NH 2 hybrid materials with different nominal CQD loadings were constructed through induced loading and secondary thermal fixation to combine spectral conversion with interfacial photophysical regulation. Structural and textural characterizations showed that CQD incorporation preserved the crystalline and porous framework of UiO-66-NH 2 while modifying its surface composition, pore characteristics, and optical response. The CQDs displayed visible-to-ultraviolet anti-Stokes emission centered at approximately 340 nm under 600 nm excitation. CQD incorporation also enhanced visible-light absorption and induced photoluminescence quenching consistent with interfacial photophysical coupling. Transient-current measurements showed reproducible light-switching responses, while EIS revealed a lower impedance response for CU-3 under illumination; together, these results are consistent with facilitated interfacial charge migration. Under visible-light irradiation in the presence of FeCl 3 as an electron scavenger, CU-3, containing 3 wt% CQDs, achieved a background-corrected net methyl orange removal of 67% within 90 min. Its apparent rate constant was 1.203 × 10 − 2 min − 1 , approximately 6.6 times that of pristine UiO-66-NH 2 . Tert-butanol inhibition and DMPO spin-trapping ESR measurements jointly supported the involvement of hydroxyl radicals, with CU-3 exhibiting a stronger light-induced DMPO–·OH signal than pristine UiO-66-NH 2 . The effect of EDTA-2Na could not be assigned exclusively to photogenerated holes because of its complexation with Fe 3+ . These findings demonstrate the importance of optimizing CQD loading and suggest that spectral conversion and interfacial photophysical coupling contribute to the enhanced apparent visible-light activity.

The separation of hexane isomers in petrochemical engineering is energy-intensive, driving the need for membrane-based alternatives to conventional thermal processes. Mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) offer a material platform by combining the processability of polymer matrices with the high structural tunability of porous fillers. In this work, we fabricate UiO-66-Tix/tPIM-1 MMMs by incorporating Ti-regulated bimetallic Zr/Ti-UiO-66 fillers into a thermally treated polymer of intrinsic microporosity (tPIM-1) matrix. At low Ti contents, the UiO-66-type crystallinity is largely preserved, while Ti introduction produces measurable changes in the pore characteristics and nHex/22DMB adsorption kinetics. Membrane-level sorption measurements show preferential nHex uptake, while adsorption-kinetic analysis and molecular dynamics simulations of both the isolated frameworks and the UiO-66-Ti 0.2 /tPIM-1 composite environment indicate stronger diffusion restriction toward bulky 22DMB than toward linear nHex. Collectively, these results support an adsorption–diffusion transport mechanism for the observed separation behavior. Among the Ti contents and filler loadings investigated, the selected 5 wt% UiO-66-Ti 0.2 /tPIM-1 membrane achieves a flux of 515 g·m −2 ·h −1 and a separation factor of 7.9 for nHex/22DMB separation. The membrane also maintained relatively stable performance during 84 h of continuous operation and preferentially enriched nHex from multicomponent C6 isomer mixtures, showing competitive separation performance among reported MMMs for hexane isomer separation. These results indicate that controlled Ti introduction provides a route to modify the pore characteristics of UiO-66 and improve nHex/22DMB discrimination in thermally treated PIM-1-based MMMs.
