Ammonia borane (AB) is a highly promising hydrogen carrier with significant potential for safe and efficient hydrogen storage and transportation. However, its high chemical stability poses considerable challenges for hydrogen release, emphasizing the importance of highly efficient catalysts. In this study, we present Ru nanocatalysts supported on UiO-66-NH 2 -derived carbon nitride (Ru/CN) as high-performance catalysts for AB hydrolysis. A facile pyrolysis-impregnation method was employed to synthesize highly dispersed Ru nanoparticles with tunable sizes, while retaining the octahedral morphology of the MOF-derived support. Detailed characterizations revealed tunable Ru nanoparticle sizes achieved by simply adjusting the Ru loading. Among the catalysts, the 2.5Ru/CN, featuring Ru nanoparticles with an average size of 2.2 nm, achieved an impressive turnover frequency of 493 mol H 2 (mol Ru −1 ·min −1 ) at 30 °C, demonstrating exceptional catalytic activity. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirmed that the optimized Ru cluster size enhances key catalytic steps, including H 2 O dissociation, AB activation, and H 2 desorption. This study highlights the critical role of fine-tuning nanoparticle sizes and provides valuable insights into the rational design of advanced catalysts for more efficient hydrogen production.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is a promising material that can be used in many fields, including environmental remediation. In this work, a novel adsorbent was successfully prepared by doping the Co element into the framework of UiO-66 with an in-situ oil bath synthesis. This modification ensured that the materials retained relatively good crystallinity. The Co-doping process had a major impact on the particle size and morphology of the original MOFs. The CoUiO-2 exhibited larger surface area and pore size than pristine UiO-66. Accordingly, the maximum adsorption amount of malachite green (MG) on CoUiO-2 (628.93 mg/g) was significantly larger compared with UiO-66 (343.64 mg/g), which was due to more active adsorption sites. In addition, the CoUiO-2 also showed a superior adsorption capacity on rhodamine B (RhB) (1106.22 mg/g). The adsorption process was well described by both the pseudo-second order and Langmuir models, indicating it was dominated by chemisorption and the adsorbent had a homogeneous surface area for adsorption. Therefore, the CoUiO-2 material could be a promising adsorbent for wastewater treatment . This work can provide an important insight into the modification of MOF materials and identify further opportunities to promote the adsorption performance in environmental remediation.

Given the good structural and compositional characteristics, there are considerable trends towards optimizing the architectures of two-dimensional materials to work for high-performance flame-retardant polymeric materials. Herein, considering the promising features of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene, phytic acid-modified UiO-66 (PA-UIO) was self-assembled onto MXene nanosheets (MXene/PA-UIO) using electrostatic interactions. The resulting nanohybrids presented good interfacial interactions and dispersion in epoxy matrix, opening up the possibility of simultaneously improving the mechanical and flame-retardant properties of the composites. Consequently, epoxy composites with 2 wt% MXene/PA-UIO achieved elevated mechanical properties and enhanced thermal properties, reflected by the increased storage modulus and tensile strength, as well as the declined rate of mass loss (R max , 28.3% reduction rate). Also, the addition of MXene/PA-UIO nanohybrids led to the drops in peak heat release rate (PHRR), peak smoke production rate (PSPR), peak CO production rate (PCOP) and peak CO 2 production rate (PCO 2 P) of 32.0%, 36.5%, 33.8% and 38.6% respectively, compared to those of pure epoxy. Meanwhile, a smoke factor (SF) with 47% drop rate was obtained, accompanied by significantly decreased gas-phase products, verifying the superior heat-reducing, smoke-suppressing and toxic fume-attenuating effects of the nanohybrids. The synergistic effects between MXene and PA-UIO realized the “3-in-1” fire-safety epoxy nanocomposites in mechanical properties, flame retardancy and smoke/toxic fume-suppressing effects. The performance enhancement was mainly attributed to the dehydration charring of phosphorus-containing acid, catalytic charring of transition metal derivatives, quenching effects of phosphorus radicals and dilution of non-flammable gases, as well as the barrier effects of the nanosheets.

A pentafluoropropionic acid–functionalized fluorescent metal–organic framework material (UiO-66-NH 2 -PFPA) is prepared by a simple post-synthetic modification (PSM) strategy for the sensitive and selective detection of dichloran (DCN). The results of fluorescence experiments demonstrate that the sensitivity of UiO-66-NH 2 -PFPA (limit of detection, LOD = 0.478 μM) to DCN is nearly 10.93 times higher than that of UiO-66-NH 2 (LOD = 5.225 μM) and the material has good selectivity and anti-interference ability. After the addition of DCN, the blue fluorescence of UiO-66-NH 2 -PFPA is obviously quenched. Therefore, the possible quenching mechanism is further discussed in combination with relevant experiments and density functional theory calculations. Moreover, the sensor is applied to the detection of DCN in fruit samples with a satisfactory recovery of 101.1—107.9%, which implies that UiO-66-NH 2 -PFPA is expected to be a candidate material for the detection of DCN in food.

Food prone to spoilage has a huge food safety hazard, threatening people’s health, so early detection of food spoilage is a continuous and urgent need. Herein, we developed a dual-mode response sensor, alizarin complexone@UiO-66-NH 2 , which can accurately detect pH. The sensor demonstrated significant changes in color from pale yellow to deep pink, while the fluorescence shifted from light blue to blue violet. Moreover, both UV absorption and fluorescence intensity showed a linear correlation with pH raging from 4.5 to 7.5. These results indicate that the sensor effectively responds to pH, making it suitable for detecting the freshness of perishable food. To put this into practice, we integrated the sensor with cellulose-based filter paper to determine the freshness of shrimp and beef, which was proved to be effective in assessing freshness. In the future, it can be combined with intelligent colorimetric and fluorescence instruments to achieve visual detection.

A new all-in-one electrochromic device was demonstrated by employing photocurable methacrylated viologen and polyaniline/UiO-66/NiO/ZnO composite (PUNZ). Methacrylated viologen was dissolved in a photocurable deep eutectic solvent to make electrochromic eutectogel. PUNZ film was electrophoresed on ITO glass and was used as an electrode. UiO-66 can play as an electron donor combined with viologen moieties as electron acceptors to form an electron acceptor-donor complex. ZnO nanoflowers provide fast electron transfer leading to fast switching of the ECD. PANI and NiO can play as ion storage materials, which reduces ion trapping. The ECD with the use of PUNZ film can enhance coloration efficiency, lowering internal resistance, and increase ion conductivity. PUNZ120@ITO-based ECD exhibited a bleaching time 213 times faster than that of the device without using PUNZ film. The optical modulation of PUNZ120@ITO-based ECD maintains up to 95 % after 50 cycles, whereas that of the device without PUNZ film is 46 %.

The phenomenon of rapid migration of photogenerated charges in natural photosynthetic systems has motivated the design of efficient photocatalysts capable of fast charge separation and efficient reaction kinetics for photocatalytically assisted enrichment and separation of uranium U(VI) in uranium wastewater. In this study, we developed a biomimetic photocatalytic system MnOx/NH2-UiO-66-rGO (M/UiO-rGO) with spatially separated dual cocatalysts. Among them, rGO functions to capture electrons and participates in reduction reactions, while MnOx captures holes and participates in oxidation reactions. The M/UiO-rGO catalyst exhibits excellent performance in photocatalytic reduction of uranium (reaching 91.8% in 1 h), and even under natural light conditions, it exhibits excellent uranium removal ability (80.4%). Using multispectral coupling technology, we further confirmed that enriched uranium undergoes a continuous and complex reaction process of “capture-reduction-free radical oxidation–nucleation–crystallization”. This work presents a viable strategy for designing biomimetic photocatalysts with efficient charge separation and rapid reaction kinetics for environmental purification purposes.

Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is a powerful tool for early warning of infectious disease outbreaks. Hence, a rapid and portable pathogen monitoring system is urgent needed for on-site detection. In this work, we first reported synthesis of an artificial modulated wide-spectrum bacteria capture nanoparticle (Arg-CSP@UiO@Fe 3 O 4 ). Arginine-modified phosphorylated chitosan (Arg-CSP) coating could provide strongly positive charged guanidinium group for pathogen interaction by electrostatic attraction, and UiO-66-NH 2 layer could help Arg-CSP graft onto Fe 3 O 4 magnetic particles. The capture efficiency of Arg-CSP@UiO@Fe 3 O 4 reached 92.2 % and 97.3 % for Escherichia coli ( E.coli ) and Staphylococcus epidermidis ( S.epidermidis )within 40 min, in 10 mL sample. To prevent pathogen degradation in sewage, a portable nucleic acid extraction-free method was also developed. UiO-66-NH 2 could disintegrate in buffer with high concentration of PO 4 3− for bacterium desorption, and then nucleic acid of the bacteria was released by heating. The DNA template concentration obtained by this method was 779.28 times higher than that of the direct thermal lysis product and 8.63 times higher than that of the commercial kit. Afterwards, multiple detection of bacteria was realized by loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). Artificial regulated pathogen desorption could prevent non-specific adsorption of nucleic acid by nanoparticles. The detection limit of Arg-CSP@UiO@Fe 3 O 4 -LAMP method was 80 cfu/mL for E.coli and 300 cfu/mL for S.epidermidis . The accuracy and reliability of the method was validated by spiked sewage samples. In conclusion, this bio-monitoring system was able to detect multiple bacteria in environment conveniently and have good potential to become an alternative solution for rapid on-site pathogen detection.

Due to the toxicity and corrosiveness of the ammonia gas, low-cost, portable, and accurate methods of ammonia detection are of great importance in environmental testing and disease diagnosis. In this study, flower-like UIO-66-NH 2 @MoS 2 composite modified screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) were prepared by hydrothermal treatment using ionic liquids [BMIM][BF 4 ] as electrolytes. The UIO-66-NH 2 @MoS 2 /SPEs were then combined with a miniature electrochemical workstation to construct a novel electrochemical ammonia sensor. The experimental results showed that UIO-66-NH 2 @MoS 2 had excellent adsorption capacity for ammonia, exhibiting good linearity in the range of 5–500 ppm with a low limit of detection (2.1 ppm) and a fast response time for 100 ppm ammonia (13 s). This sensor also possessed excellent stability, reproducibility, and anti-interference ability. The synthesized UIO-66-NH 2 @MoS 2 nanocomposite was demonstrated to be an excellent candidate for the construction of high-performance ammonia sensors for various applications.

Artemisinin (Art) is the primary therapies for plasmodium falciparum malaria. However, it is very cumbersome to extract artemisinin from the plant Artemisia annua L. Herein, a novel defect-type UiO-66 structure was proposed, which can adsorb artemisinin through effective sites provided by ‘template molecules’. At the same time, the delayed phase inversion technology was used to prepare the loofah membrane to make the defect-type UiO-66 uniformly dispersed in the pores. In addition, the inside of the biomass loofah membrane had good mechanical properties and loofah membrane wrapped with polyacrylonitrile (PAN) can make Art solution evenly dispersed in each channel, greatly improving the utilization rate of defect-type UiO-66. The defect-type UiO-66 and the UiO-66-D@loofah membrane were characterized using various methods, including SEM, EDS, FT-IR, XRD, contact angle, and mechanical performance analyses. Compared with the static adsorption behavior of powder and loofah membrane, it was found that the adsorption performance presented an optimal adsorption capacity (56.548 mg g −1 ) at the flow rate of 5 mL min −1 , which was better than that of powder (27.096 mg g −1 ) as well as the static loofah membrane (33.127 mg g −1 ). The structural design of the membrane has provided a new solution for the extraction of Art from Artemisia annua L.

Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) is a transmembrane glycoprotein and its detection is important for diagnosis and therapeutic prognostic assessment of many cancers. Herein, a highly sensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor was developed for its detection. In the ECL sensor, dimercaptosuccinic acid-capped core/shell structured CdTe/CdS quantum dot (QD) was loaded on metal-organic framework material UiO-66(Ce) as electrochemical luminophore; Ti 3 C 2 /Ag composite was introduced for immobilizing EpCAM aptamer. Due to the well immobilization of QD and catalysis of UiO-66(Ce), the obtained luminophore CdTe/CdS QDs@UiO-66(Ce) displayed a strong and stable ECL signal. Furthermore, the Ti 3 C 2 /Ag could act as a co-reactant accelerator to boost the ECL signal. Thus, the resulted sensor had quite strong initial ECL signal for signal-off detection. Further experiment showed that it exhibited good linear response to EpCAM over the concentration range of 1 pg mL −1 − 10 ng mL −1 in pH 7.4 Tris buffer, with a detection limit low to 0.66 pg mL −1 . Additionally, the ECL sensor also presented high selectivity and satisfying reproducibility; its practicability was demonstrated by the successful determination of EpCAM in serum samples.

Photocatalysts TiO 2 @UiO-66-(OH) 2 was successfully synthesized via an impregnation method for removal of formaldehyde under high pressure mercury lamp irradiation, and the photocatalysts were characterized by using a variety of analytical techniques. The characterized results indicated that TiO 2 was attached to the surface of UiO-66-(OH) 2 , and there was a strong electronic interaction between the elements of TiO 2 and UiO-66-(OH) 2 in the composite. The synergistic combination of high adsorption capacity of UiO-66-(OH) 2 , high dispersion of TiO 2 and efficient interfacial charge transfer between UiO-66-(OH) 2 and TiO 2 have a significant impact on the enhanced photocatalytic performance for formaldehyde removal. And the hydroxyl radicals (⋅OH) and superoxide radicals (⋅O 2 − ) also play a major role in removal of formaldehyde. The formaldehyde removal rate of 20TiO 2 @UO (1 g 0.15 m 3 ) is 83.01 % within 5.5 h, if the removal time is extended to 24 h, the formaldehyde removal rate can reach 91.49 %, and the continuous photocatalytic reaction showed that the composite is a highly stable catalyst. This could provide a useful method for highly efficient formaldehyde in indoor air purification.
