Arsenic as an emerging micropollutant, causing the world ecosystems polluted due to its high toxicity to the environment. In order to removal arsenate As (V), many metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have been synthesized as adsorbents. However, the mostly existing MOFs adsorbents have a slow adsorption rate, agglomeration and poor stability in water.Therefore, it is highly desired to explore a novel adsorbent for the more efficient and rapid removal of As(V) from aqueous solution. Herein, we synthesized monodisperse microspheres with amino functionalized MOF UiO-66 on the silica core for the first time.The synthesized adsorbent was charecterised using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), N 2 adsorption desorption isotherms, x-ray diffraction (XRD).The obtained results revealed that it exhibit monodisperse core shell microspheres and showed fast separation of As (V) from aqueous solution. The Kinetic data showed that the As (V) removed rapidly, within 5 min only and the adsorption kinetics described by the pseudo second order kinetic model.The adsorption capacity of the adsorbent was 22.62 μg/g at pH 2. The adsorption experiment showed that adsorbent prepared with UiO-66-NH 2 @SiO 2 could rapidly remove the arsenate from aqueous solution. FTIR results indicated that As (V) is removed successfully from aqueous solution. Electrostatic interaction between UiO-66-NH 2 and As (V) should be the proposed mechanism.

For lithium extraction processes from liquid lithium resources, surmounting the interference of coexisting ions on the selective extraction of Li + − especially the selective separation of Mg 2+ and Li + − presents a challenging task. UIO-66 and HKUST-1, both metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), are synthesized using organic ligands with benzene ring groups. To boost the Li + adsorption and recognition capabilities of these two materials, LiNO 3 was introduced as a template, which not only constructs a Li + -size-adapted microenvironment within the adsorbent framework but also functions as a mineralizer, facilitating the formation of more uniformly sized crystals. The modified Li/UIO-66 and Li/HKUST-1 achieved maximum Li + adsorption capacities ( Q ) of 35.57 and 26.33 mg/g, respectively, reaching adsorption equilibrium within approximately 3 h. Li/UIO-66 showcases excellent Mg 2+ /Li + separation performance and maintains certain separation factor even in mixed solutions containing multiple interfering ions. Although Li/HKUST-1 demonstrates a stronger tendency for selective adsorption of higher-valent ions, it holds promise for the removal of interfering ions from solutions, thereby contributing to the overall optimization of lithium extraction processes.

In this study, a novel nanocomposite scaffold comprising pectin, gelatin, and amoxicillin trihydrate-loaded UiO-66-NH 2 metal-organic frameworks (UiO-66-NH 2 @AMX) was fabricated for skin tissue engineering applications. UiO-66-NH 2 nanoparticles were synthesized hydrothermally and subsequently loaded with amoxicillin trihydrate. Finally, UiO-66-NH 2 @AMX nanoparticles were incorporated into pectin-gelatin scaffolds using the freeze-drying method. FE-SEM imaging confirmed the octahedral morphology of the nanoparticles before and after drug loading. FTIR analysis demonstrated successful drug incorporation via non-covalent interactions. DLS and zeta potential measurements showed that UiO-66-NH 2 nanoparticles had a mean size of 218.5 ± 14 nm and a surface charge of +44.1 ± 2.7 mV. After drug loading, the size slightly increased to 248.8 ± 19 nm, and the surface charge decreased to +32.6 ± 2.5 mV, while maintaining colloidal stability. All of the scaffolds showed porous structures with interconnected pores in SEM imaging. The incorporation of UiO-66-NH 2 @AMX nanoparticles into the pectin-gelatin scaffolds up to 3 % (w/w) increased the tensile strength and Young's modulus of the scaffolds 37.6 % and 56.7 %, respectively. Antibacterial activity was evaluated by CFU assay, where UiO-66-NH 2 @AMX containing scaffolds revealed significant bacterial reduction against E. coli and S. aureus colonies. MTT, cell adhesion, and cell scratch assays conducted on L929 fibroblasts. All of the scaffolds demonstrated >85 % cell viability after 3 days of culture. Furthermore, scaffolds with 3 % (w/w) UiO-66-NH 2 @AMX enhanced cell adhesion and increased migration rate in scratch closure assay. Overall, the results indicate that the novel nanocomposite scaffolds are promising candidates for skin tissue engineering and wound healing applications.

A hydrophobic metal-organic framework (MOF) nanofibrous membrane (NFM) with excellent comprehensive properties was successfully fabricated by a simple method. Benefiting from the excellent hydrophobicity, chemical stability, thermal stability and good structural fit of UiO-66-F 4 and polysulfone (PSF), the UiO-66-F 4 /PSF NFM has been directly prepared via co-electrospinning of UiO-66-F 4 and PSF without any additional modifications. Characterization with PXRD, FT-IR and XPS indicated that UiO-66-F 4 crystals were effectively incorporated into PSF fibers and their crystal structure was not destroyed. The obtained UiO-66-F 4 /PSF NFM exhibited improved hydrophobicity compared with the parent materials, even after the treatment with heat, acid or alkali solutions. Therefore, it was competent for separating different forms of oil-contaminated water, including oil-water mixture and water-in-oil emulsion, even in harsh conditions. In the case of hot oil-water mixture, UiO-66-F 4 /PSF NFM still showed a separation efficiency of about 99 % and an oil flux of 1036 L m −2 h −1 . More importantly, the separation efficiency remained relatively stable during 30 cycles of separation, indicating that UiO-66-F 4 /PSF NFM can meet the requirements of long-term use. In view of this, UiO-66-F 4 /PSF NFM had the potential to treat practical oily wastewater in harsh environments.

Water decontamination from arsenic-contaminated groundwater is critical to the health of millions of households worldwide. However, efficiently removing the low-adsorbing As(III) remains challenging. Herein, a multifunctional biocomposite bead UiO-66-NH 2 -Cl@PCB integrating defects, oxidation and adsorption properties was prepared to effectively remove As(III). The N -chlorosulfonamide bound within the embedded UiO-66-NH 2 -Cl oxidizes the lower-adsorbing As(III) to As(V), which could be effectively adsorbed by the defect-rich MOF, while the porous chitosan bead (PCB) host ensures the utilisation of the reactive sites of UiO-66-NH 2 -Cl. Using 1 g/L of UiO-66-NH 2 -Cl@PCB, 1 mg/L of As(III) can be reduced to under 10 μg/L in 300 min. Furthermore, similar As(III) removal efficiencies were achieved across a wide pH spectrum (3–9) or in the presence of interfering substances (anions, cations, organic matter). High concentrations of phosphate will inhibit its performance. As(III) removal followed the Freundlich isotherm modal, and its maximum removal capacity reached 58.09 mg/g at pH 7. Furthermore, at equilibrium concentrations of 10 μg/L, its As(III) removal capacity exceeded 10 mg/g. UiO-66-NH 2 -Cl@PCB can purify the As(III)-spiked groundwater to meet the drinking standard level. Using NaOH solution for regeneration, the removal efficiency maintained above 70 % in the fifth cycle. Additional chlorination treatment can significantly improve reusability. 2.4 g of UiO-66-NH 2 -Cl@PCB packed fixed-bed column was capable of purifying 3820 BV of groundwater containing 100 μg/L of As(III). The proposed UiO-66-NH 2 -Cl@PCB has the potential to be an easy-to-use and reliable material for efficient As(III) removal.

BiOCl/UiO-66-NH2 photocatalysts were synthesized by a hydrothermal method. BUNH-8 (BiOCl/UiO-66-NH2 composite with 8% UiO-66-NH2) exhibits exceptional photocatalytic performance under visible-light illumination, degrading 92% of rhodamine B (RhB) within 60 minutes, which is 38.16% greater than that of pure BiOCl. The enhanced performance of the BiOCl/UiO-66-NH2 composite photocatalyst can be attributed to the distinct band structure difference between BiOCl and UiO-66-NH2, facilitating effective Z-scheme charge separation and transfer under light irradiation. Superoxide radicals were determined to be the crucial active species in the photocatalytic degradation process via electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis and a simulated photocatalytic degradation experiment of the dye RhB with scavengers added. Apart from its high efficiency, BUNH-8 demonstrates excellent stability as well. Even after being reused four times, it maintains its excellent photocatalytic performance, suggesting its high potential for application.

Defect engineering improves the catalytic performance of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) loaded metal nanoparticles (MNPs@MOFs), but there is still a challenge in defining the structure-activity relationships. Herein, the content of linker-missing defects in UiO-66(Ce) was systematically regulated via formic acid as the modulators, and defective UiO-66(Ce) loaded Ni nanoparticles (NPs) were constructed for dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) hydrogenation. The fine regulation of defect engineering and reduction conditions affected the structure properties of UiO-66(Ce) and the electronic metal-support interaction between MOFs and Ni NPs, thereby optimizing the microenvironment and electronic state of Ni NPs. The optimized U(Ce)-40eq with suitable defects, small size and structure stability effectively promoted the production of highly dispersed abundant electron-deficient Ni 0 active sites, enhancing the adsorption and activation of H 2 and C=C bonds, especially accelerating the rate-determining step. Therefore, U(Ce)-40eq loaded 5 wt% Ni NPs achieved DCPD saturated hydrogenation to tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene (70 °C, 2 MPa, 90 min), superior to most high-loading Ni-based catalysts. This work reveals the synergistic mechanism of MOFs defect engineering and electronic structure of Ni NPs, providing effective guidance for the precise preparation of highly efficient and stable MNPs@MOFs heterogeneous catalysts.

Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) have been widely used for the antibiotic pollution control. However, it remains a challenge to simple design and synthesis of multifunctional MOFs for sensing and degradation antibiotics. Herein, a multifunctional UiO-66(Zr/Ce)-NH 2 ratiometric fluorescence sensing and photocatalytic degradation platform was rapidly and simply constructed at room temperature by a one-pot method using a dielectric barrier discharge device. The mixed-metal centers and mixed-ligands of this platform enabled effective ratiometric fluorescence sensing of tetracycline (TC), along with a visual fluorescence shift from blue to yellow-green color. The platform demonstrated a detection of TC ranged from 200 nM to 15 μM, with a detection limit of 43 nM. Moreover, the UiO-66(Zr/Ce)-NH 2 exhibited strong light absorption and efficient photogenerated carrier separation, thus offering excellent degradation performance of TC compared with that of MOFs with single metal center, mixed ligands or mixed metal centers. The mechanism of fluorescence detection and potential charge transfer pathways by the UiO-66(Zr/Ce)-NH 2 were analyzed. This work provided a new approach for the simple design and synthesis of multifunctional MOFs platforms.

With the ever-increasing challenge of heavy metal pollution, the imperative for developing highly efficient adsorbents has become apparent to remove metal ions from wastewater completely. In this study, we introduce a novel magnetic core–shell adsorbent, Fe 3 O 4 @UiO-66-PDA. It features a polydopamine (PDA) modified zirconium-based metal–organic framework (UiO-66) synthesized through a simple solvothermal method. The adsorbent boasts a unique core–shell architecture with a high specific surface area, abundant micropores, and remarkable thermal stability. The adsorption capabilities of six metal ions (Fe 3+ , Mn 2+ , Pb 2+ , Cu 2+ , Hg 2+ , and Cd 2+ ) were systematically investigated, guided by the theory of hard and soft acids and bases. Among these, three representative metal ions (Fe 3+ , Pb 2+ , and Hg 2+ ) were scrutinized in detail. The activated Fe 3 O 4 @UiO-66-PDA exhibited exceptional adsorption capacities for these metal ions, achieving impressive values of 97.99 mg/g, 121.42 mg/g, and 130.72 mg/g, respectively, at pH 5.0. Moreover, the adsorbent demonstrated efficient recovery from aqueous solution using an external magnet, maintaining robust adsorption efficiency (>80%) and stability even after six cycles. To delve deeper into the optimized adsorption of Hg 2+ , density functional theory (DFT) analysis was employed, revealing an adsorption energy of -2.61 eV for Hg 2+ . This notable adsorption capacity was primarily attributed to electron interactions and coordination effects. This study offers valuable insights into metal ion adsorption facilitated, by magnetic metal–organic framework (MOF) materials.

Graphical This work describes the application of a highly efficient catalyst (NH 2 -UiO-66-Mo) to the catalytic oxidation desulfurization process. NH 2 -UiO-66-Mo can greatly improve the efficiency of oxidative desulfurization The optimum operating conditions of NH 2 -UiO-66-Mo are investigated through experiments, which prove the excellent performance of the catalyst, and the reaction mechanism is further studied through a series of characterizations. A highly efficient oxidative desulfurization composite catalyst NH 2 -Uio-66-Mo has been prepared and applied in the catalytic oxidative desulfurization. It was elucidated that Mo 6+ could increase the oxygen vacancies and active sites on the catalyst and increase the pore size of UiO-66. Meanwhile, the removal rate of dibenzothiophene (DBT) reached 99.2 % after 60 min under optimal conditions and remained above 90 % after 5 cycles, showing the composite catalyst's remarkable catalytic performance and satisfactory reusability NH 2 -UiO-66-Mo. In addition, kinetic studies revealed that the desulfurization process can present a pseudo-first-order kinetic process. The apparent activation energy was 10.6 kJ/mol. Finally, in combination with oxides, possible oxidation pathways were identified.

CA125 (carbohydrate antigen 125) is an important biomarker of ovarian cancer, so developing effective method for its detection is of great significance. In the present work, a novel sandwich-like electrochemical immunosensor (STEM) of CA125 was constructed by preparing nanoribbon-like Ti 3 C 2 T x MXenes (Ti 3 C 2 T x NR) to immobilize primary antibody (PAb) of CA125 and UIO-66-NH 2 MOFs structure to immobilize second antibody (SAb) and electroactive toluidine blue (Tb) probe. In this designed STEM assay, the as-prepared Ti 3 C 2 T x NR nanohybrid offers the advantages in large surface area and conductivity as carrier, and UIO-66-NH 2 provided an ideal platform to accommodate SAb and a large number of Tb molecules as signal amplifier. In the presence of CA125, the peak currents of Tb from the formed STEM structure increase with the increase of CA125 level. After optimizing the related control conditions, a wide linear range (0.2–150.0 U mL −1 ) and a very low detection limit (0.05 U mL −1 ) of CA125 were achieved. It’s thus expected the developed STEM strategy has important applications for the detection of CA125. Graphical abstract

Numerous applications require low humidity sensors that not only sensitive but also stable, small hysteresis, high resolution and fast response. However, most reported low humidity sensors cannot possess these properties at the same time. In this work, inspired by sea urchin , we developed an ionic liquid (IL) modified metal organic framework (UiO-66) based low humidity sensor. Owing to the synergistic effect of the hydrophilicity and ionic conductivity of IL and the steric hindrance effects of UiO-66, the optimized low humidity sensor simultaneously exhibits high response (47.5), small hysteresis (0.3 % RH), ultrafast response speed (0.2 s), high resolution (1 % RH), and excellent long-term stability (>120 days). In particular, the sensor has been proved to have potential applications in visual humidity detection and water source location. This work provides a preliminary design principle that will contribute to the preparation of high-performance low humidity sensing materials.
