In order to prevent and control the effects of pesticide residues on human health and the ecological environment, the rapid, highly sensitive, and selective detection of multiple pesticide residues has become an urgent problem to be solved. Herein, a lab-on-a-molecule probe based on a host–guest complex (ThT@Q[8] probe) has been developed to simultaneously analyze multiple aromatic pesticides under single wavelength excitation, such as fuberidazole, thiabendazole, carbendazim, thidiazuron, and tricyclazole. The fluorescence titration spectra of the ThT@Q[8] probe with the five pesticides mentioned above showed that the fluorescence intensity exhibited a good linear correlation with the pesticide concentration and the limit of detection was as low as 10–7 M. Because the ThT@Q[8] probe exhibits diverse fluorescence color changes to the five pesticides studied under a 365 nm ultraviolet lamp, we fabricated a single probe used to detect multiple analytes in the RGB triple channel by extracting the RGB variations. Principal component analysis and linear discriminant analysis proved that the ThT@Q[8] probe can recognize and distinguish five pesticides and can be applied at different concentrations. In real samples, the ThT@Q[8] probe recognized and distinguished five pesticides in tap water and Huaxi River water. The 1H NMR spectra results proved that a charge-transfer complex of ThT and pesticides in the Q[8] cavity may be formed. Moreover, we selected a test strip as a carrier to detect pesticides. The results indicate it can be used to quickly and conveniently detect different pesticides due to the rapid color change. Besides, the ThT@Q[8] probe has good cell permeability and can be used to detect pesticide residues in living cells. This work has laid the foundation for the qualitative and quantitative multitarget detection of pesticide residues.

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) based mixed matrix membrane (MMM) for CO 2 capture shows insufficient CO 2 permeability due to random disperse of MOFs in form of individual particle. Therefore, in this work, a continuous MOFs transport pathway for CO 2 with low resistance was constructed in the MMM by assistance of electrospun nanofiber . Specifically, PAN electrospun nanofiber mat (NFM) was utilized as skeleton to obtain continuous ZIF-8 nanofibers. Then flexible polyethylene glycol (PEG) molecules were photo-polymerized in situ into the inner-voids within ZIF-8@PAN NFM to form dense membrane . As a result, ZIF-8 particles are distributed in PEO matrix continuously, leading to a low-resistance transport pathway for gas molecules in MMM, which is proved by the cross-sectional SEM images. Furthermore, the higher Tg of ZIF-8@PAN-x/PEO MMM by DSC also indicates the good interfacial compatibility between ZIF-8 and PEO. Compared with pure PEO membrane, all the ZIF-8@PAN-x/PEO MMMs present both enhanced CO 2 permeability and CO 2 /N 2 selectivity. The enhanced CO 2 permeability is attributed to the continuous ZIF-8 transport pathway, and the improved selectivity is ascribed to the size screening from nanofibers overlapping and stacking and the tortuous transport pathway. Importantly, compared with ZIF-8/PEO MMM, in which ZIF-8 particles are randomly dispersed into PEO matrix, the ZIF-8@PAN-4/PEO MMM with the same ZIF-8 loading of about 16.6 wt% presents enhanced CO 2 permeability and CO 2 /N 2 selectivity, which are increased by 52.4% and 44.3%, respectively. This is due to the continuous ZIF-8 transport pathway and good interfacial compatibility, which is also confirmed by the result of gas diffusivity and solubility coefficients. Together with the outstanding mechanical strength and stability, the proposed MMM with continuous ZIF-8 transport pathway paves a new way to improve CO 2 permeability.

The pollution caused by the abuse of antibiotics has posed a serious threat to the ecological environment and human health, so development of effective strategies for degradation and disposal of antibiotic residues is urgently needed. In this work, penicillinase, a kind of β -lactamase, was immobilized into zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) by self-assembly method and the catalytic performance of the β [email protected] porous materials for degradation of penicillins has been investigated by high performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry . The results illustrated that the catalytic activity of the encapsulated enzyme was significantly enhanced comparing with that of free enzyme. Meanwhile, the β [email protected] exhibited excellent stability under denaturing conditions including high temperature, organic solvent and the enzyme inhibitor . The catalytic degradation mechanism of the β [email protected] for penicillins has been probed and verified, and it has been found that the Zn (II) ion on ZIF-8 frameworks could form the complex with the target molecule, which weakened the bond of the four-membered β -lactam ring in the penicillin molecule, and thus enhanced the degradation efficiency of the enzyme. This work provided a promising strategy for eliminating the penicillin residues in water environment.

Tumor-activatable ultrasmall nanozyme generation is an unprecedented strategy to overcome intrinsically fatal defects of traditional reactive oxygen species (ROS)-based nanoagents for deep tumor penetration, including limited tissue-penetrating depth of external energy, heavy reliance on oxygen and nonspecific toxicity of therapeutic agents. Here, based on the cascade reaction between glucose oxidase (GOx) and ultrasmall peroxidase nanozyme embedded into acid-dissociable zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8), such a tumor-activatable ultrasmall nanozyme generator is designed for enhanced penetration and deep catalytic therapy. With the aid of mildly acidic tumor microenvironment , the produced gluconic acid from intratumoral glucose can gradually induce the dissociation of ZIF-8 to release ultrasmall peroxidase nanozyme with significant intratumoral penetration. On the other hand, the generated hydrogen peroxide with relatively long-life can be subsequently catalyzed by penetrated peroxidase nanozyme into toxic hydroxyl radicals for deep catalytic therapy. In this way, the well-designed nanoplatform not only can greatly enhance tumor penetration but also directly induce exogenous ROS without oxygen participation and external energy input, thereby thoroughly avoiding the inactivation of traditional ROS-based nanoagents in the extremely hypoxic tumor center and finally resulting in remarkable deep catalytic therapy.

Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs), such as ZIF-8, have emerged as promising heterogeneous catalysts for CO 2 fixation, but their direct application suffers from insufficient Lewis acidity and microporosity-limited mass transport. This work addresses these limitations by synthesizing cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)-induced ZIF nanowire precursors followed by rapid low-temperature air calcination (350 °C, 10 min) to produce activated ZIF-8 nanowires (ZIF-8 NWs). This treatment transforms the unstable precursor into a robust ZIF-8 structure, significantly increasing the specific surface area (from 211 to 637 m 2 /g), CO 2 uptake (from 20.7 to 29 cm 3 /g) and Lewis acidity. The resulting ZIF-8 NWs exhibit exceptional catalytic performance in the solvent-free cycloaddition of CO 2 with epoxide (89.5 % yield at 10 h under 80 °C and 0.1 MPa), surpassing that of conventional ZIF-8 nanoparticles (36 %) and ZIF-8 nanosheets (48.9 %), highlighting the key role of morphology and acidity in catalytic CO 2 conversion to cyclic carbonates.

MOFs represent a promising platform for enzyme immobilization, yet the development of tailored strategies to accommodate both enzyme properties and MOF structures remains a challenge. In this study, we employed chitosanase BCC1 as a model enzyme and integrated Fe 2+ /Mn 2+ ions into the ZIF-8 to construct a bimetallic MOF-based immobilization system (BCC1@Fe/Mn-ZIF-8). Comprehensive characterization by SEM, FTIR, TGA confirmed the successful immobilization and structural integrity of the composite. The immobilized enzyme retained 97 % of its initial activity and exhibited enhanced stability under harsh thermal, pH, and solvent conditions. Notably, BCC1@Fe/Mn-ZIF-8 maintained 117 % activity after 14 days at 4 °C and 72 % residual activity after 14 reuse cycles, indicating excellent storage and reusability. This bimetallic MOF-based strategy offers a robust and efficient approach for enzyme immobilization, with strong potential in industrial biocatalysis.

The growing demand for multifunctional sensors in wearable systems has prompted the need for materials that simultaneously support gas sensing and mechanical strain detection. However, current flexible sensing materials still suffer from issues such as response hysteresis, poor humidity resistance, and lack of antibacterial properties. Herein, we developed a ternary flexible composite by integrating defect-engineered ZIF-8, conductive polypyrrole (PPY), and bacterial cellulose (BC), which was further encapsulated with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to form the Def-ZIF-8/PPY/BC@PDMS composite. The results demonstrated that with 2–3 layers of PDMS, the sensor achieved a fast and stable NO 2 response (9.3% at 10 ppm), with reliable recovery. Under 80% relative humidity, PDMS reduced humidity-induced signals from 34% to 10.3%, confirming markedly improved moisture resistance. The incorporation of a PDMS layer enabled enhanced stress sensing, reducing the response/recovery times to 0.4/0.3 s from 0.9/0.8 s in the uncoated structure. The sensor demonstrated high fidelity in recognizing complex biomechanical signals such as swallowing, walking, and finger articulation. Furthermore, antibacterial testing confirmed 42.18% and 64.69% inhibition against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus , respectively. This multifunctional composite simultaneously optimizes gas sensing, mechanical flexibility, humidity resistance, and antibacterial efficacy, paving the way for advanced materials in fully integrated wearable sensing technologies.

Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) have emerged as a critical platform for molecular separation, especially carbon capture from point-emission sources. In this study, a series of novel MMMs were fabricated by incorporating the bimetallic Ag/Zn-ZIF-8 nanoparticles into the poly (ether-block-amide) (Pebax) matrix for efficient CO 2 /N 2 separation. The SEM, EDS, XRD, FTIR, XPS, TGA, N 2 adsorption-desorption measurements were employed to elucidate the microstructures and physicochemical properties of the resultant nanoparticles and membranes. The bimetallic coordination-induced optimization modulated the inherent structure of ZIF-8 framework and enhanced CO 2 affinity, thereby forming the CO 2 -selective transport channels over N 2 . The incorporation of Ag + promoted the uniform dispersion of Ag/Zn-ZIF-8 nanoparticles in Pebax matrix, indicating the excellent polymer-filler interfacial compatibility. Impressively, the resulting membrane achieved the superior separation performance with a CO 2 permeability of 359 Barrer and a CO 2 /N 2 selectivity of 53, which were 2.5 and 1.4 times higher than that of the pristine Pebax membrane. Besides, the introduction of Ag/Zn-ZIF-8 nanoparticles enhanced the thermal and mechanical stability of the membrane, ensuring the potential for long-term operation. These findings herein advance the rational design and preparation of high-performance MMMs for sustainable carbon capture.

A novel Zn/Co zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) has been constructed by an easy and straightforward room temperature technique. Several characterization techniques such as SEM, TEM-EDX, single-crystal XRD and ICP have been applied to confirm that the structure formed is a sodalite (SOD) cage type structure. The Zn/Co-ZIF possesses a high nano-crystallinity and porosity with a large surface area. By tuning the amount of Co and Zn in the Zn/Co zeolitic imidazolate framework, the physical and chemical properties have been improved compared with those of the single metal frameworks (ZIF-8 and ZIF-67). Consequently, the Zn/Co-ZIF was investigated for two different applications; gas adsorption (CO2, CH4 and N2) and catalysis (CO2 conversion to cyclic carbonates) and the obtained results were compared with the performance of previously reported single metal frameworks (ZIF-8 and ZIF-67). Additionally, hydrolytic stability tests under ambient conditions and immersed in water at 75 °C were performed and pointed out that Zn/Co-ZIF exhibits a higher stability. Moreover, based on these results, the Zn/Co-ZIF demonstrates better properties compared with ZIF-8 and ZIF-67.

Polymer films with tailored dielectric properties and large electrical displacement are required for applications in microelectronics due to the need for ultrahigh speed and low transmission delays. In this study, we developed a low- k polyimide (PI) nanocomposite incorporated with metal–organic framework hollow ZIF-8 (HZIF-8) nanocrystals to achieve a high energy storage capacity. The PI nanocomposite film was prepared by solution casting a mixture of HZIF-8/polyamide acid with thermal imidization. A dielectric constant of 2.26 was obtained at 100 Hz for the 5 wt% nanocomposite with a multi-stage pore architecture. Due to improved interfacial polarization, the 1 wt% nanocomposite had a high energy density of 12.2 J/cm 3 and a charge–discharge efficiency of 70% at 600 MV/m. The PI nanocomposite film exhibited dielectric reliability with inherent flexible performance, and it is expected to be a primary candidate for polymer dielectric applications in microelectronics.

The continuous existence of antibiotic pollutants presents a grave threat to the ecological environment. This study aims to develop an efficient and stable hybrid photocatalytic membrane for degrading tetracycline (TC) in aqueous solutions. Inspired by setaria, the novel hybrid ZIF-8@ZnO/polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes (PZM) are successfully prepared by in situ growth of ZnO nanowires on PVDF membranes via hydrothermal synthesis, followed by incorporation of the metal–organic framework material ZIF-8. The preparation conditions for ZnO nanowires are systematically optimized. Results indicate that the prepared ZnO/PVDF membranes (PZ) exhibit optimal photocatalytic activity when the ZnO precursor concentration is 0.5 wt% and the hydrothermal growth time is 2 hr. Additionally, with the increased stirring rate of the reaction system, the superior piezoelectric properties of the PVDF nanofiber membranes are applied to accelerate TC degradation. Most importantly, compared to pure PZ membranes, the hybrid PZM membranes significantly enhance the photocatalytic degradation efficiency of TC. Under visible light irradiation, the hybrid PZM nanofiber membranes achieve TC degradation efficiency of 75%, which is increased by 66% compared to that of ZnO powder. This investigation offers a potentially viable approach for the design and construction of hybrid photocatalytic materials for effectively eliminating emerging organic pollutants from water.
