To avoid the problem of difficult wound healing caused by diabetes. In this study, zeolite imidazolium ester skeleton-8 (ZIF-8) was loaded with dihydroquercetin (DHQ) in order to improve the slow-release property as well as the biological activity of DHQ, and the mechanism of wound healing action of ZIF-8-loaded hydrogel was investigated by Western blot technique. The results showed that the dynamic light scattering result was 90.54 ± 3.45 nm and the zeta potential was −32.91 mV. In addition, through the synergistic effect of ZIF-8 and DHQ, the hydrogel exhibited excellent in vitro activity, and the in vitro antioxidant results showed that the inhibition rate of DZP hydrogel against the free radicals of ABTS and DPPH was over 90%, and the inhibition rate against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus was over 90%, respectively, and also promoted cell growth and migration. In addition, the in vitro release assay of DHQ from DZP hydrogel at 24 h showed 61.69 ± 1.93% at pH = 6.0 and 62.42 ± 1.58% at pH = 7.4, which improves the slow-release property of DHQ and is suitable for long-term tissue repair applications. The results of in vivo experiments showed that DZP hydrogel promotes the healing of difficult-to-heal wounds by inhibiting the activation of the IkBα/NF-κB pathway, stimulating skin neovascularisation, and promoting collagen accumulation. Collectively, these properties make DZP a strong candidate for diabetic wound dressings and are expected to play an important role in wound management.

The unique periodic structure of photonic crystals demonstrates an effective slow photon effect that enhances the interaction between light and matter. This study designed and prepared MOF photonic crystal beads, and significantly improved the photocatalytic efficiency by utilizing the slow light effect. Utilizing microfluidic technology, ZIF-8 was self-assembled to form photonic crystal beads (PCB-Z) to enhance adsorption properties and light absorption. The surface of PCB-Z is modified with CdS to form a heterostructure (PCB-ZC), which widens the absorption spectrum, reduces the carrier recombination rate, and increases the specific surface area, while the photocurrent intensity of PCB-ZC is about 1.8 and 29 times that of CdS and PCB-Z. Under the combined effect of photonic crystal structure, ZIF-8/CdS heterojunction and slow photon effect, the degradation rate of Rhodamine B by PCB-ZC was 15.22 times higher than the disordered ZIF-8 powder, and the photocatalytic performance was significantly improved. The dominant role of holes in Rhodamine B degradation was confirmed by free radical trapping experiments and EPR tests. This research confirms that MOF-based photonic crystals can be assembled into periodic structures to enhance adsorption properties and light absorption, which provides a new paradigm for the development of MOF-based photocatalysts.

The development of green, efficient, and reusable photocatalysts is important for pollution degradation. In recent years, Cs3Bi2I9has been shown to be an effective photocatalyst. However, the rapid recombination of electrons and holes weakens the photocatalytic activity. In this work, the photogenerated electron transfer rate was promoted by ZIF-8 compositing with Cs3Bi2I9, which effectively improved the pollutant degradation. After 50 min of visible light irradiation, Cs3Bi2I9/ZIF-8 removed up to 98.2% of methylene blue (MB), which was 4.15 times higher than that of Cs3Bi2I9alone. In addition, the Cs3Bi2I9/ZIF-8 composite still exhibited high photocatalytic activity after three cycling experiments. Our research offers a simple and efficient method for enhancing the photocatalytic activity of lead-free halide perovskites.

ZIF-8@ZIF-8/PAN nanofibers were fabricated by the incorporation of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) with electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers, and following by the in-situ growth of ZIFs onto the surface of the nanofibers. The abundant micropores and active sites of ZIFs supplied the effective adsorption and reduction to heavy metal ions of Cr(VI). The obtained novel nanofibers overcome the crystal agglomeration of ZIF-8 effectively and maintained the porous structures by the nanofibrous morphology of PAN and the evenly distributed ZIF-8, and thus exhibited relative higher surface area (871.0 m 2 g −1 ) and excellent loading efficiency of ZIF-8 (82.9 %). As target adsorbate, Cr(VI) could be removed from aqueous media effectively with the maximum adsorption capacity ( q max ) of 39.68 mg g −1 , and with better recyclability. Significantly, guided with the proposed feasible adsorption-reduction mechanism of Cr(VI), toxic Cr(VI) ions could be further reduced partially to the relative harmless Cr(III). Potentially, the present stable and advantageous approach to loading and growing metal organic frameworks (MOFs) onto electrospun nanofibers could be extended to other water-stable MOFs and to remove various heavy metal ions.

Although quantum dots (QDs) have unique properties that are different from conventional semiconductors, their photocatalytic activity and stability are far from expectations, and the preparation of semiconductor composites has become an important means to improve their photocatalytic hydrogen production performance. A convenient and safe coordination-assisted self-assembly method was used to encapsulate QDs into metal–organic frameworks and further formed AgInS2@ZIF-8/ZnS nanostructures by converting part of ZIF-8 into ZnS composite materials, which enhanced their photocatalytic hydrogen production performance and cycling stability. The results show that AgInS2@ZIF-8/ZnS nanocomposites have the highest photocatalytic activity (the average hydrogen production reaches 9.79 mmol·g–1·h–1; λ > 420 nm) after 6 h of sulfurization, which is far greater than that of AgInS2 QDs. Compared with the AgInS2@ZIF-8 composite, their performance is improved by nearly 10 times. In conclusion, a simple, safe, and easily-controllable method is used to prepare a novel and efficient photocatalytic material, which provides a new idea about the rational design of novel QD photocatalytic composites.

Controllable encapsulation of nanoparticles with metal organic frameworks (MOFs) has been an efficient way to impart the unique chemical and physical properties of the nanoparticles to metal organic frameworks and create new types of multifunctional MOF core–shell materials with enhanced properties. Here, a novel ZnO support-induced encapsulation strategy is reported to efficiently fabricate a Pd/ZnO@ZIF-8 core–shell catalyst, with Pd/ZnO as the core and ZIF-8 as the shell. The novel synthesis procedure involves first loading Pd nanoparticles onto the surface of the ZnO microsphere to form a Pd/ZnO core and then coating the core with a layer of defect-free ZIF-8 shell via ZnO-induced in situ ZIF-8 growth to obtain the Pd/ZnO@ZIF-8 core–shell catalyst. It was crucial that the ZIF-8 was in situ formed from the ZnO core in an ethanol solution only containing 2-methylimidazole under mild conditions. This strategy allowed for the growth of ZIF-8 right on the surface of Pd/ZnO via the reaction between ZnO and the 2-methylimidazole ligands, and thus avoided the random deposition of ZIF-8 crystals on the Pd/ZnO core as in the case of the conventional ZIF-8 synthesis solution. Furthermore, use of ethanol as the solvent also favored achievement of the well-defined Pd/ZnO@ZIF-8 structure, since the ethanol solution of 2-methylimidazole was able to keep the balance between ZnO dissolution and ZIF-8 formation. The as-prepared Pd/ZnO@ZIF-8 core–shell microsphere as an efficient catalyst displayed excellent performance in terms of size-selectivity, stability and anti-poisoning in the liquid hydrogenations of alkenes.

Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) was synthesized and used as a flame retardant in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) aerogels . The introduction of ZIF-8 increased the roughness of the cell walls due to attachment of the ZIF-8 particles. The ZIF-8 also promoted the thermal degradation of PVA, but increased the residue yield. The limiting oxygen index (LOI) increased from 19.5% for pure PVA aerogel to 24.0% for the ZIF-8/PVA hybrid aerogel. The self-extinguishing behavior of the ZIF-8/PVA hybrid aerogel was observed in the UL-94 vertical burning test, while the PVA aerogel burned out finally. The peak heat release rate (PHRR) and total heat release (THR) of the ZIF-8/PVA hybrid aerogel were 44.2% and 12.8% lower than those of pure PVA aerogel, respectively. The decomposition of ZIF-8 to zinc oxide enhanced the barrier effect of the residues, which accounted for the suppressed PHRR and THR. This study demonstrated that incorporation of ZIF-8 can result in tunable flame retardancy for fire safety application.

The main objective of this study was to produce biodiesel utilizing Fe 3 O 4 @ZIF-8-CRL as biocatalyst, employing high acid value waste oil. Candida Rugosa lipase (CRL) was immobilized onto a magnetic ZIF-8 organometallic framework through physical adsorption, resulting in significantly enhanced stability and chemical compatibility. The study extensively investigated the impacts of enzyme dosage, alcohol-to-oil ratio, ultrasonic power, temperature, time, and the addition of deep eutectic solvents on the conversion of fatty acid ethyl esters. The findings revealed that under the conditions of biocatalyst addition of 5.7 wt.%, alcohol–oil ratio of 6:1 mmol/g, ultrasonic power of 87.297 W, reaction temperature of 40 °C, and reaction time of 2 h, the innovative biocatalyst facilitated a conversion efficiency of fatty acid ethyl esters reaching 82.06 ± 1.63%, with a retention rate of 74.52% after three cycles. Additionally, characterization of the biocatalyst using a vibrating sample magnetometer and scanning electron microscopy demonstrated its favorable magnetic recovery potential and morphology. Coupled with its straightforward and efficient synthesis, this biocatalyst proves to be competitive in the catalysis of biodiesel preparation.

Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) was introduced on the surface of fibers of a non-woven fabric made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The phase structure, morphology, textural properties and chemical structure were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), nitrogen (N2) adsorption analyzer and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The XRD, SEM and FTIR results indicated that ZIF-8 had been successfully coated on the PET fibers. N2 adsorption analyses suggested that addition of ZIF-8 significantly increased the specific surface and micropore volume of composites. The PM2.5 removal experiment showed the filtration efficiency of ZIF-8/PET was twice as high as that of pure PET. Meanwhile, ZIF-8/PET also displayed a low pressure drop and good recycling performance. This research provided a facile method to deposit active ZIF-8 onto polymers with low air resistance, and that ZIF-8/PET was a good candidate as an air filter for PM2.5 removal.

Separation of light hydrocarbon isomers is always an important and challenging task in the petrochemical industry due to their similar physicochemical properties. This paper presents the absorption-adsorption hybrid method to separate pentane isomers using a flowable zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) slurry prepared with N, N′-Dimethylpropylene urea (DMPU) and water. Firstly, the single-component kinetic sorption profiles for n-pentane and iso-pentane in the slurry were measured. It appears significant sorption kinetic differences between the pentane isomers in ZIF-8/DMPU-water slurry. Subsequently, the separation performances for n/iso-pentane gas mixtures were studied systematically. The results show that the selectivity for pentane isomers using ZIF-8/water slurry is extremely high (1877 specifically), and the selectivity decreases gradually when the DMPU content in the solvent increases, while conversely the sorption speed increases rapidly. The selectivity as a function of time was described to graphically characterize the kinetic-based separation for pentane isomers. With excellent behavior in selectivity, sorption speed, sorption capacity (1.10 mol/L for n-pentane in ZIF-8/DMPU slurry), and renewability, this absorption-adsorption hybrid method is of great potential in the separation of pentane isomers.

The performance of activated carbon (AC) will be severely affected for carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) capture in flue gas, as they usually suffer from competitive adsorption of water vapor. Establishment of a barrier against moisture on the surface of porous adsorbent material could potentially address this issue. Zeolite-like metal–organic frameworks (ZIF-8) as a promising adsorbent material demonstrates hydrophobic properties, large specific surface area, and highly porous structure. Here, by further growth of ZIF-8 on polydopamine (PDA)-coated bio-based carbon (AC@PDA), we fabricate hydrophobic final product (AC@ZIF-8). The CO 2 capture capacities of AC@ZIF-8 was 41.69 cm 3 /g, which is only 13.61% lower than that of the initial AC under dry conditions. The hydrophobic ZIF-8 layer can effectively prevent water molecules from reaching the interior AC. Therefore, the adsorption of CO 2 for AC@ZIF-8 decreased by only 16.74% under high relative humidity, while it decreased by 61.27% for bare AC. This strategy will broaden the applications of carbon-based adsorbents for CO 2 capture under severely humid conditions. We believe that this approach is also applicable for an extensive set of CO 2 capture materials that suffer from water instability.

The design and construction of diverse heterojunction architectures have emerged as an effective strategy for enhancing the photocatalytic performance of semiconductors. In this study, ZIF-8/TiO 2 composite nanofibers were successfully fabricated by combining electrospinning technology with a facile in-situ solvothermal method, followed by ZIF-8 sulfurization to form ZnS/TiO 2 nanofiber heterostructures. Comprehensive characterization confirmed that ZIF-8 on the surface of TiO 2 nanofibers was completely converted into ZnS, establishing a robust and intimate interface with TiO 2 . The resulting ZnS/TiO 2 heterojunction exhibited remarkable photocatalytic reduction activity for Cr(VI), achieving 100% removal efficiency within 20 min under visible light irradiation. The photocatalytic reaction rate constant of the ZnS@TiO 2 nanofibers was approximately 10 and 319.5 times higher than those of pristine ZnS and TiO 2 nanofibers, respectively. This enhanced photocatalytic performance is attributed to the formation of the heterojunction, which effectively narrows the bandgap of the composite, optimizes photogenerated charge transfer pathways and significantly improves electron-hole pairs separation. Furthermore, mechanistic studies identified photogenerated electrons (e − ) and superoxide radicals ( O 2 − ) as the dominant active species involved in the photocatalytic reduction process. This work provides both fundamental understanding and practical methodology for developing high-performance TiO 2 -based photocatalytic systems, highlighting their potential for advanced water purification technologies.
