Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have emerged as a promising technology to harvest energy from the environment due to their self-powered characteristics, simple structure, low cost and high flexibility. To improve their performance, this work proposes a hierarchical optimization strategy, which integrates the employment of polyimide (PI) matrix, the doping of metal-organic framework and the surface patterning of TENG triboelectric layers to achieve high output performance and durability. In the work, the PI/UIO-66-NH₂ mixed matrix membrane (MMM) is first synthesized and characterized, where the influence of UIO-66-NH₂ loading amount on the triboelectric properties of MMM is analyzed. The measurement results show that this MMM exhibits excellent dielectric properties and thermal stability. Subsequently, the TENG device operated in the vertical contact-separation mode is fabricated, where MMM is used as the negative triboelectric layer and pure PI membrane as the positive layer. Moreover, the surface patterning method based on soft imprint lithography is applied to both triboelectric layers to augment their effective contact areas. Then, the output performance of TENG is characterized. It is found that, for the weight ratio of UIO-66-NH₂ of 5 wt%, the patterned UIO-66-NH₂ MMM-based TENG (P-TENG-5) achieves a maximum output power density of 78.27 ± 3.42 μW/cm², which is 5.76 times higher than that of unpatterned TENG-5 and 361.35 times greater than that of pure PI-based TENG-0. Remarkably, P-TENG-5 maintained stable performance over 20,000 cycles at 2 Hz without the considerable performance degradation.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), particularly UiO-66, offer advantages in biomass catalytic conversion due to their good thermal stability, tunable porosity and abundant active sites. However, agglomeration limits their catalytic efficiency. To address this, a series of acid-base bifunctional UiO-66-type catalysts supported on biochar (BC) was developed in green solution through a one-pot method. BC prepared by pyrolyzing cotton stalks (CS) under N 2 atmosphere at high temperature and activated before use. The physico-chemical properties of materials were studied by various characterization methods, and their catalytic performance for converting cellulose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) in [BMIM]Cl ionic liquid was evaluated. Reaction parameters such as catalyst type, catalyst loading, temperature and time were optimized. Under the optimized conditions, achieving a 5-HMF yield of 46.58 %. The BC-supported catalyst NH 2 -UiO-66-SO 3 H/BC exhibited significantly higher catalytic activity than its unsupported counterpart and increased the 5-HMF yield by 23.78 %. This performance improvement is attributed to the grafted sulfonic/amino groups, which enhance the catalytic performance by improving the dispersion of UiO-66 upon the introduction of BC. This work demonstrates biochar-supported UiO-66 as an effective strategy for enhancing catalytic efficiency in sustainable biomass valorization to platform chemicals.

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.

A pesticide delivery system (PDS) is an effective strategy to overcome the low efficiency of conventional pesticide formulations. UiO-66, a metal–organic framework (MOF), is a suitable nanocarrier for pesticide delivery due to its large surface area, good stability, and nontoxicity. In this work, we developed deltamethrin-loaded UiO-66 (DM@UiO-66) as a PDS for sustained DM release and enhanced pest control. DM was loaded on UiO-66 via a physical adsorption method, forming a stable DM@UiO-66 nanoformulation (loading capacity 1049.6 mg/g). Unlike the burst release of free DM, DM@UiO-66 exhibits sustained pesticide release performance, which can maintain effective insecticidal concentration for a long time. Biological assay results indicate that DM@UiO-66 possesses better insecticidal activity than free DM, and the nanoformulation is safe for maize seeds and seedlings. In addition, DM@UiO-66 contains no toxic organic solvents or additives, which makes it environmentally friendly. Thus, the UiO-66-based PDS will hold a great future in agriculture and pest control fields.

The construction of a multifunctional catalyst for multistep sequential\tandem reactions at the molecular level faces a formidable challenge. Multivariate (MTV)-MOFs can provide a facile and tunable platform for rationally designing such multifunctional catalysts via grafting different catalytic groups on the bridging ligands. However, the related investigations are still limited. Here, Pd(II) and l -proline are metalated and decorated to organic linkers, respectively, to build a MTV-MOF, which is then successfully applied to sequential Suzuki Coupling/asymmetric Aldol reactions with satisfied coupling performance (yields up to 99%) and good enantioselectivities ( ee anti up to 98%). Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES) measurements of the supernatant and hot leaching test suggest the heterogeneous nature of the catalyst. Macrosubstrate tests verify that the reaction occurs inside the pores of the MOF. The heterogeneous catalyst can maintain structural stability and catalytic activity within three cycles. Graphic Abstract Versatile Pd(II) and l -proline were metalated and decorated, respectively, into stable UiO-67 to construct bifunctional and heterogeneous multivariate MOF catalyst, which displayed efficient and recyclable catalytic activity in sequential Suzuki Coupling/asymmetric Aldol reactions.

The high stability and other properties of Zr(IV)-based metal organic frameworks(MOFs) make it a promising choice for chromatographic separation, while the application in open-tubular capillary electrochromatography (OT-CEC) separation has not been explored yet. Herein, we report the first example of the in-situ growth of UiO-66-NH 2 onto the capillary for open-tubular capillary electrochromatography. UiO-66-NH 2 consists of ZrCl 4 and 2-amino-1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid, which is highly porous and stable in a variety of solvents. The prepared UiO-66-NH 2 modified capillary was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectra (FT-IR), and the results confirmed the successful growth of the UiO-66-NH 2 . The baseline separation of chlorobenzenes, phenoxyacids and two groups of phenols was achieved owing to the combined interaction of π-π interaction, hydrophobic interaction, molecular sieve effect, electrophoretic migration and hydrogen-bonding interaction etc. Besides, the prepared capillaries showed good reproducibility, with relative standard deviations (RSDs) for intra-day, inter-day and column-to-column runs in the range of 1.38–2.60%, 3.39–4.05%, and 3.47–5.03%, respectively. Our work indicates Zr(IV)-based MOFs are promising materials as stationary phase in CEC separation.

The Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) materials are ideal molecular sieving membrane materials due to the regular pores with high-density and good designability, which have been widely studied in gas separation, desalination, and nanofiltration , etc. However, most preparation methods of MOF polycrystalline membranes are always time-consuming and the as-synthesized MOF membranes are thick. Here in this work, the ultrathin 210 nm-UiO-66 polycrystalline membranes are rapidly synthesized in 1 h, where sonication is utilized to generate massive tiny nucleation followed with rapid microwave-assisted membrane growth. The Na + rejection of the UiO-66 membrane maintains at 99.6% for 700 h long-term experiment with 0.16 L/(m 2 h bar) of water flux in forward osmosis, indicating the good quality and excellent stability of the as-synthesized membrane. This strategy is also expected to synthesize many other continuous defect-free MOF membranes with ultrathin thickness rapidly.

Sialic acid (SA) is a crucial component of glycoproteins and glycolipids on the cellular membrane, which is essential for maintaining the function of cell membranes, such as cell recognition and communication. Simultaneously, sialic acid plays a significant role in many physiological and pathological processes. Hence, it is urgent to develop a simple and sensitive strategy for determining sialic acid. In this work, a new metal-organic framework called UiO-66-NH 2 @B(OH) 2 has been designed and synthesized for the recognition and detection of sialic acid. The boronic acid functional group in UiO-66-NH 2 @B(OH) 2 can bind to a diol moiety of the glycerol side chain of sialic acid, which will attenuate or even quench the fluorescence of UiO-66-NH 2 @B(OH) 2 , thus opening a new road to detect sialic acid. Based on the measurement results, sialic acid can be quantitatively measured in a linear range of 0.05–2.5 mmoL/L with the UiO-66-NH 2 @B(OH) 2 probe. The detection limit of sialic acid is as low as 0.025 mmol/L. Furthermore, the boronic-acid functionalized probe UiO-66-NH 2 @B(OH) 2 displays high sensitivity and high selectivity to recognize the sialic acid in mouse serum samples. Therefore, the developed UiO-66-NH 2 @B(OH) 2 can be used as a promising probe to identify and detect sialic acid in the practical application.

Recently, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are considered to be the moderate hosts for the bio-enzymes owing to their unique 3D pores and controllable surface affinity to the target molecules. In this work, the benzoic acid (BA)–modulated UiO-66-NO 2 was introduced, and cytochrome c (Cyt C) was chosen as the target enzyme to evaluate the immobilization efficiency of the resulting UiO-66-NO 2 -BA. The immobilization conditions including pH, adsorption time, and temperature and the initial concentrations of BA were optimized. The adsorption kinetics and thermodynamics were analyzed to further explore the enhanced adsorption mechanism. It is worth noted that all the UiO-66-NO 2 -BA exhibited evidently enhanced adsorption capacities in comparison with the unmodified UiO-66-NO 2 due to the formation of the chemical bonds between the UiO-66-NO 2 -BA and cytochrome C, indicating the positive roles of BA modification. Finally, the activities of the immobilized cytochrome C were assessed by using the catalytic oxidation of ABTS in the presence of H 2 O 2 , which reactions were also conducted over the free cytochrome C for comparison. The evidently improved stability under definite pH range, prolonged durability against the organic solvents, and the good reusability of the immobilized cytochrome C highlight the prospect applications of functional MOF immobilized enzymes in the practical catalytic reactions.

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.

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 portable home hemodialysis device is a miniaturized and easy-to-operate medical apparatus designed for patients with chronic kidney disease, enabling them to conveniently perform hemodialysis at home or while traveling. However, it imposes high requirements on the dialysis membrane in terms of dialysis efficiency, adsorption capacity, and blood compatibility. In this study, the composite membrane was fabricated through electrospinning, which is an in situ synthesis of carbon nano tube (CNT) bridged UiO 66 (COOH) 2 on PTFE fibers. UiO 66 (COOH) 2 increased the adsorption site by association with CNT, and achieved the adsorption of creatinine by hydrogen bond and π bond, which greatly reduced the usage of dialysis solution. UiO 66 (COOH) 2 and CNT were first combined for creatinine adsorption, and its maximum static adsorption capacity was 66 mg/g. During the dialysis, the yielding membrane showed a creatinine clearance of 64.89% and a resistance protein rate of more than 98%. Compared with pure PTFE dialysis membrane, the amount of dialysate used to achieve the same dialysis effect was merely 1/10. Furthermore, the membrane has a hemolysis rate of 2% and a low platelet adhesion rate, which shows excellent blood compatibility. Therefore, the dialysis membrane prepared in this study is expected to promote the development of portable home hemodialysis devices.
