The practical application of ZIF-8 crystals is commonly limited by their powder form. In this work, natural balsa wood sheets were employed as substrate for dispersing and shaping ZIF-8 particles. By in situ growth method, ZIF-8 layer was coated on the aligned wood channels to construct ZIF-8/wood composites with a hierarchical structure. A good affinity and interfacial compatibility between ZIF-8 and wood lumens was observed. The wood channels enable high-speed water transport and the ZIF-8/wood composites were integrated into filtration systems for continuous wastewater treatment. At a 7.9 wt% ZIF-8 loading, the three-layered ZIF-8/wood filter (ZW-2) presented an effective treatable volume of 800 mL of 10 mg L −1 Cu 2+ solution. Moreover, ZW-2 exhibited an excellent recyclability and reusability. Such wood-based composite is renewable, low cost, and holds great potential for practical environmental remediation.

Liver fibrosis (LF) is one of the major diseases that threaten human health. Until now, no effective drugs have been approved for clinical anti-liver fibrosis treatment. In this study, zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) lipid nanoparticles loaded with pirfenidone (PFD) and modified with vitamin A (VA) were constructed (VA-PFD@ZIF-8@DMPC NPs). PFD was embedded in ZIF-8 by the “one-pot” method, and the prepared ZIF-8 had a small particle size (84.3 nm) and high drug loading (54.46%). Moreover, the inherent pH sensitivity of ZIF-8 makes it stable in a normal physiological environment and collapsed in an acidic environment, thus controlling drug release and preventing drug leakage. Besides, the phospholipid layer makes the nano-drug delivery system dispersible and improves its biocompatibility . More importantly, VA is modified on the surface of nanoparticles (NPs), which can target the highly expressed retinol-binding protein receptor (RBPR) on the surface of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), thereby accurately increasing the local drug concentration at the site of LF. In vivo experiments showed that VA-PFD@ZIF-8@DMPC NPs can reduce liver injury, improve the degree of LF, and exert specific therapeutic effects on LF. In conclusion, this nano-delivery system may become a novel and effective anti-liver fibrosis treatment.

Sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6 ) is widely utilized as an insulating gas in power systems because of its outstanding dielectric insulation and arc-quenching properties, which presents significant value and necessity for recycling from both environmental impact and economic benefit. However, conventional thermally driven methods for SF 6 recovery suffer from high energy consumption, urgently necessitating the development of alternative separation techniques that operate under ambient conditions and reduce energy consumption. Herein, a stiffer EZIF-8 is employed as fillers in mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) for efficient SF 6 recovery. EZIF-8 is synthesized under an electric field, which is mainly composed of ZIF-8_ Cm phase. The fabricated MMMs exhibit an excellent N 2 /SF 6 selectivity of 182 with N 2 permeability of 278 Barrer, showing an 18-fold improvement in selectivity compared to that of the pure polymer membranes. Importantly, for both typical insulation gas mixture (70 % N 2 /30 % SF 6 ) commonly used in gas insulated switchgear and 100 h long-term operation, the MMMs are able to maintain steady operation with a relatively high N 2 permeability and N 2 /SF 6 selectivity, demonstrating the promising potential for the efficient recovery of SF 6 especially at low concentrations.

This study enhanced the corrosion protection of zinc molybdate (ZnMoO4) in epoxy coatings by integrating ZIF-8 to form a Z-type nano heterojunction. The heterojunction leveraged the light absorption properties of organic ligands within ZIF-8 to significantly promote the excitation and separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers, thereby enhancing the photocathodic protection capability of the coating. It also utilized a cocrosslinking curing process between the epoxy functional groups and the organic functional groups of ZIF-8, resulting in a notable improvement in coating density. Furthermore, the metal–organic framework (MOF) effectively anchored the coating, preventing the recurrence of defects due to molybdate dissolution, thus enhancing durability. In synergy with the molybdate passivation film, it effectively hindered the corrosive attack of ions adsorbed on the metal substrate surface, thereby contributing to the suppression of chemical corrosion. Meanwhile, the compositing of MOF significantly enhanced the hydrophobicity of the material. Experimental data demonstrated that the impedance of the ZIF-8/ZnMoO4 composite coating achieved a remarkable increase to 226.0 and 208.3% compared to pure epoxy and ZnMoO4 coatings, which provided insights into expanding the compatibility and synergistic protective performance of molybdate-based corrosion-resistant materials by constructing heterojunctions between organic and inorganic materials.

In this study, a ZIF-8 thin layer deposited on the surface of a hydrolyzed polyacrylonitrile (HPAN) membrane was used for highly efficient humic acid removal. The thin ZIF-8 layer was synthesized by using a two-step interfacial synthesis method, based on liquid–liquid interfacial coordination polymerization. The formation of a continuous ZIF-8 layers was confirmed by X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy. The effects of the synthesis conditions including reaction time, precursor concentration, and other operating conditions on the ZIF-8 composite membrane performance were studied using humic acid solution as organic waste. The results showed when the reaction time was extended, or when the precursor concentration was increased, the ZIF-8 layer deposited on the membrane surface became denser. Compared with the unmodified HPAN substrate, the composite membrane deposited with the ZIF-8 layer showed better processing ability for organic matters due to the strong electrostatic interaction of organic matter with the ZIF-8@HPAN membrane and the ZIF-8 particles unique structural characteristics, which shows a great application prospect for humic acid treatment compared with other membrane technologies.

In order to better disperse zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) in aqueous solution for thin film nanocomposite (TFN) membrane fabrication, hydrophilic ZIF-8 was prepared by polydopamine modification. After the interfacial polymerization (IP) reaction, PDA-ZIF-8 nanoparticles were evenly entrapped in the polyamide (PA) matrix. The as-obtained PA layer demonstrated better hydrophilicity, higher surface roughness, and less cross-linking degree. Therefore, the water permeability increased by 66 % compared to the thin film composite (TFC) membrane without nanofillers. Moreover, due to the improved compatibility of PDA-ZIF-8 as well as the stronger negatively charged membrane surface, the retention of SO 4 2− was slightly enhanced, and the retention of rhodamine B was well maintained. The hydrophilic modification of ZIF-8 by PDA was a facile method to improve its compatibility with the PA polymer, and the resultant TFN membrane demonstrated elevated water permeability without compromising its selectivity.

Food spoilage caused by microbial contamination remains a global challenge, driving demand for sustainable antibacterial packaging. Conventional photocatalytic materials suffer from limited spectral response, rapid charge recombination, and insufficient reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation under visible light. Here, a Z-scheme heterojunction was constructed by coupling zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) with Ag 3 PO 4 , achieving dual-spectral absorption and spatial charge separation. The directional electron transfer from Ag 3 PO 4 ’s conduction band to ZIF-8 effectively suppresses electron-hole recombination, prolonging carrier lifetimes and amplifying ROS production (·O 2 − /·OH). Synergy with Ag + release further enhances bactericidal efficacy. Incorporated into a cellulose acetate matrix (CAM), the ZIF-8/Ag 3 PO 4 /CAM film demonstrates 99.06% antibacterial efficiency against meat surface microbiota under simulated sunlight, alongside high transparency. This study proposes a Z-scheme heterojunction strategy to maximize ROS generation efficiency and demonstrates a scalable fabrication approach for active food packaging materials, effectively targeting microbial contamination control and shelf-life prolongation.

Graphical A binder-free electrode was constructed by decorating MnO 2 nanoflowers onto the hybrid material of ZIF-8/ZnO, as derived from ZIF-8 via pyrolysis. Both the composite electrode and the NF/ZIF-8-ZnO/MnO 2 //activated carbon (AC) asymmetric supercapacitor demonstrate excellent electrochemical performance, showing that NF/ZIF-8-ZnO/MnO 2 is a promising candidate for supercapacitors due to the synergistic contribution of ZIF-8, ZnO and MnO 2 . In this study, ZIF-8 (Zn(MeIn) 2 , MeIn=2-methylimidazole) was synthesized directly on Ni foam with the use of polydopamine (PDA). By following a hydrothermal process, MnO 2 nanoflowers were decorated on the hybrid material of ZIF-8/ZnO, as derived from ZIF-8 via pyrolysis at 500 °C under nitrogen flow. The produced binder-free electrode (NF/ZIF-8-ZnO/MnO 2 ) demonstrated an excellent electrochemical performance for supercapacitors, including a specific capacitance of 2005 F g −1 at 2 A g −1 and a fairly high cycling stability (90.74% retention after 4000 cycles). Furthermore, a NF/ZIF-8-ZnO/MnO 2 //activated carbon (AC) asymmetric supercapacitor showed an energy density of 70.57 Wh kg −1 given a power density of 112.45 kW kg −1 . These results demonstrate that NF/ZIF-8-ZnO/MnO 2 is a promising candidate for supercapacitors due to the synergistic contribution of ZIF-8, ZnO and MnO 2 .

Many wastewaters commonly contain complex mixtures of both antibiotics and heavy metals, where the simultaneous removal of these mixed contaminants is still a challenge. In this paper, ZIF-8, a metal-organic framework material, was proposed as a potential absorbent to simultaneously remove norfloxacin and copper from wastewater. Batch adsorption experiments showed that ZIF-8 could simultaneously remove 95.4% of Cu and 80.3% of norfloxacin. ZIF-8 was characterized before and after the removal of the mixed contaminants. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) showed that ZIF-8 was synthesized successfully and maintained a stable structure after contaminant adsorption. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) both suggested that contaminants were partially adsorbed on the surface of ZIF-8. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) also indicated the presence of both carboxyl and Cu on the ZIF-8 surface confirming that a mixture of contaminants was adsorbed. For both contaminants, adsorption followed pseudo-second-order kinetics and best fit the Freundlich adsorption model with correlation coefficients (R 2 ) of 0.973 and 0.994, for copper and norfloxacin, respectively. Finally, removal mechanisms for copper and norfloxacin by ZIF-8 were proposed. For Cu, the adsorption process on ZIF-8 was mainly due to ion exchange, whereas electrostatic interactions and π-π stacking may be responsible for norfloxacin adsorption. Overall this study demonstrated that ZIF-8 was a promising material for the treatment of wastewater containing mixtures of organic and metallic contaminants.

Zeolitic imidazolate framworks-8 (ZIF-8) and two-dimensional black phosphorus (BP) are frequently studied for their outstanding properties and wide applications. Therefore, integrating these two components into hybrid nanocomposites is conceivable to build a hybrid nanomaterial with enhanced or even new properties. In this paper, a novel hybrid nanocomposite of ZIF-8 with few-layer two-dimensional (FL-BP) (ZIF-8/BP) is prepared for the first time. The obtained ZIF-8/BP hybrid composites are composed of ZIF-8 nanoparticles uniformly distributed over the whole BP nanosheets. The in situ growth of ZIF-8 is attributed to FL-BP functionalized with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), whose pyrrolidone rings (CO) enhance the affinity between Zn ions and FL-BP, and in turn facilitate ZIF-8 in situ growth on the surface of BP. Furthermore, the obtained ZIF-8/BP hybrid nanocomposites demonstrate enhanced photocatalytic performance, for the highly efficient charge separation and transfer during photocatalytic reactions.

As one of the green, renewable, and clean energy resources, hydrogen is widely developed and utilized throughout the world. Highly efficient membrane separation for hydrogen production is required to give promising gas permeance with enough H 2 selectivity. The membranes are desired to be produced in large-scale, fast and facile methods. Here we report for the first time a kind of freestanding MXene-ZIF-8 dual-layered membrane for hydrogen separation. Fast synthesis of such membranes is realized by combining electrophoretic deposition (EPD) and fast current-driven synthesis (FCDS), achieving the assemble of MXene layer and growth of ZIF-8 layer, respectively, overcoming the traditional time-consuming vacuum filtration methods and solvothermal synthesis . The MXene-ZIF-8 dual-layered membrane prepared within 20 min exhibits significantly improved gas separation performance, whose H 2 /CO 2 selectivity increases from 44 for the pristine MXene membrane to 77 with H 2 permeance of 5.97 × 10 −8 mol m −2 s −1 Pa −1 . This concept of structure design of membrane can also be extended to other dual-layered membranes, including various 2D nanosheet layers combined with different MOF layers.

Triethylamine , as a typical gas of volatile organic compounds, is a growing threat to human health due to its extensive applications in industry. In this study, ZIF-8 derived ZnO polyhedrons are decorated by CsPbBr 3 quantum dots via electrostatic adsorption. Then a highly sensitive sensor towards triethylamine based on ZnO-CsPbBr 3 composite is successfully fabricated. Compared with sensors based on pristine ZnO and ZnO (nanoparticles)-CsPbBr 3 , ZnO-CsPbBr 3 displays a higher response value (~ 60 towards 100 ppm of TEA), shorter response/recovery time (2/18 s), and lower detection limit (5 ppb). Thus, highly-sensitive detection and efficiently-catalytic oxidation of trimethylamine can be achieved. Such distinguished performance can be ascribed to its unique architecture and n-n heterojunction . Notably, the sensing mechanism is thoroughly interpreted by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, temperature programmed desorption of O 2 and in-situ diffuse scattering Fourier transform infrared spectra.
