Defect engineering in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is critical for enhancing their adsorption performance. Herein, a “large-pore” UiO-66-SH (LP-UiO-66-SH) was successfully synthesized by introducing the monodentate ligand 3-amino-4-hydroxybenzoic acid (3,4-AHBA) into UiO-66-SH. This strategy generates ligand defects and creates opens metal vacancies, thereby enhancing the porous structure and the density of active sites. Consequently, LP-UiO-66-SH exhibited significantly superior adsorption kinetics and capacity compared to micro-UiO-66-SH, achieving a maximum Hg(II) uptake of 1180 mg g −1 (versus only 560 mg g −1 for micro-UiO-66-SH under comparable conditions) and rapidly reducing the Hg(II) concentration in seawater to the drinking water standard (0.002 mg L −1 ) within 8 min. DFT and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations further revealed that S H, -NH₂ and -OH groups cooperatively participate in Hg(II) binding, while the presence of a porous architecture significantly improved adsorption kinetics across a wide range of initial Hg(II) concentrations. This study provides a defect-engineering strategy for designing efficient porous adsorbents for mercury-contaminated water remediation and, through combined experimental and theoretical analyses, elucidates the intrinsic coupling mechanism between defect-induced binding sites and ion transport within the engineered framework.

To tackle the critical challenge of efficient treatment for phenolic industrial wastewater, MXene@UiO-66-NH 2 composite powder was synthesized via a self-assembly approach. The powder was then immobilized on the surface of a PEI-modified PES substrate through vacuum filtration, thus successfully fabricating MXene@UiO-66-NH 2 /PES composite membranes. Characterizations including SEM, XRD and XPS confirmed that hydrogen bonds and weak coordination bonds formed between MXene and UiO-66-NH 2 . These interactions effectively suppressed the stacking of MXene and agglomeration of UiO-66-NH 2 , and constructed continuous electron transport pathways and ordered porous diffusion channels. The optimal performance was achieved when the UiO-66-NH 2 loading of 75 mg: cyclic voltammetry tests revealed high current density and favorable reversible redox behavior, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy results indicated minimal charge transfer and diffusion resistance. In phenol degradation experiments, the degradation efficiency remained consistently above 90% within 5 h, and the composite membrane maintained excellent stability even after 72 h of cyclic operation. Active species quenching experiments verified that the core degradation mechanism of the composite membrane relies on the synergistic effect of superoxide radicals (·O 2 − ) and hydroxyl radicals (·OH): ·O 2 − initiated the initial activation of the benzene ring, while ·OH drove the subsequent deep oxidation and mineralization processes. This work realizes the integration of membrane separation and electrocatalytic degradation functions, breaks through the performance trade-off bottleneck of MXene-MOF composite membranes, and provides a novel and scalable preparation strategy for high-performance catalytic membranes, as well as technical support and a theoretical paradigm for the advanced treatment of phenolic industrial wastewater.

This study demonstrated a new method for simultaneously improving the interfacial morphology and gas separation properties of mixed matrix membrane by designing a new type of nanocomposite filler (UiO-66-PEI@[bmim][Tf 2 N]). Nano-sized UiO-66 particle was post-synthetically modified with branched polyethyleneimine (PEI) and then was decorated with ionic liquid. The abundant amino groups in UiO-66-PEI improve the gas separation properties of the MMM due to the affinity between PEI and CO 2 . The ionic liquid acts as a lubricant agent, which is coated on the crystal surface improves the interface morphology of the MMM. Compared to pristine 6FO and MOF/6FO membrane, MOF@IL/6FO membrane has higher gas separation performance. Characterization and gas separation results indicated the UiO-66-PEI@ILs particles were homogeneous dispersed in 6FDA-ODA and promoted CO 2 transport by reversible reaction with amine groups. Consequently, the membrane sample containing 15 wt% loading of the UiO-66-PEI@[bmim][Tf 2 N] filler displayed an optimum CO 2 /CH 4 selectivity of 59.99 for CO 2 and CH 4 mixture gas.

To advance CO 2 separation technologies, lysine-decorated UiO-66-NH 2 (LYS-UiO-66-NH 2 ) fillers were synthesized via a lysine modification and integrated into a Pebax-1657 matrix, yielding high-performance mixed matrix membranes. The carboxyl groups of the amino acids provide nucleophilic sites, promoting stronger interactions between LYS-UiO-66-NH 2 and CO 2 molecules. Moreover, the N–H and C = O bonds present in LYS-UiO-66-NH 2 facilitate hydrogen bonding with complementary C = O and N–H functional groups in the Pebax polymer backbone. These interactions significantly improve filler–polymer compatibility, enhancing interfacial adhesion and achieving uniform filler dispersion within the membrane matrix. Characterizations conducted via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, scanning electron microscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis confirmed successful synthesis of the LYS-UiO-66-NH 2 filler particles, exhibiting high crystallinity, uniform distribution within the polymer matrix, superior thermal stability, and absence of discernible interfacial defects. Compared to pristine Pebax membranes, the LYS-UiO-66-NH 2 /Pebax MMM containing 3 wt% filler exhibited a CO 2 permeability of 104.62 Barrer and a CO 2 /N 2 selectivity of 85.75 at 30℃ and 0.1 MPa, corresponding to increases of 74.16% and 75.61%, respectively, thereby surpassing the 2008 Robeson upper bound. This work demonstrates the considerable potential of the designed MMMs for highly efficient CO 2 separation.

Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a key tumor biomarker, and its sensitive detection is critical for early diagnosis and treatment monitoring. This work presents a novel “turn-on” fluorescent aptasensor for sensitive and cost-effective detection of CEA, based on a FAM-labeled CEA aptamer (FAM-Aptamer) as the recognition unit, and Ce-UiO-66 nanoparticles as an efficient quenching platform. The Ce-UiO-66 material was synthesized and comprehensively characterized by SEM, TEM, XPS, FT-IR, Raman and XRD, demonstrating a high quenching efficiency (QE) of 99.95% toward the fluorescent aptamer. This exceptional quenching performance is attributed to a synergistic mechanism involving FRET, PET, DQE and SQE. After systematic optimization of key parameters (Ce-UiO-66 concentration: 66.67 µg/mL; quenching time: 30 min; pH: 7.6; incubation temperature: 25 ℃; incubation time: 60 min), the aptasensor achieved a wide dual-linear response across 1-10 ng/mL and 10-100 ng/mL, respectively, with a detection limit of 13.78 pg/mL. Validation in diluted serum samples confirmed its accuracy and precision for CEA quantification, with recoveries of 95.50-109.60% and RSDs below 5.07%. The proposed aptasensor provides a reliable, cost-effective, and sensitive platform for CEA detection, serving as a proof-of-concept biosensing platform, with a certain potential for clinical application.

Developing electroactive materials with superior sensitivity, selectivity, and so on is an important issue for target ions detection. Hierarchically heterostructured nanomaterials represent a kind of promising active materials for electrochemical sensors due to the synthetic effect between different components and the high surface area. Herein, heterostructured UIO-66-NH 2 /CNTs nanocomposites have been successfully synthesized via the solvothermal method and investigated for the detection of Pb 2+ ions. The SEM, TEM, XRD and FTIR collectively confirmed that the UIO-66-NH 2 was successfully loaded on the surface of the CNTs. The specific surface areas of the UIO-66-NH 2 /CNTs are 4–7 times higher than that of activated CNTs and more mesoporous structures appear in composite materials. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements showed that the concentration of CNTs could influence the electron mobility and the UIO-66-NH 2 /CNTs-15 exhibits the lowest charge transfer resistance and the highest capacitive property. The cyclic voltammetry study towards K 3 [Fe(CN) 6 ] further demonstrated that the CNTs can improve the conductivity of the composites especially for the UIO-66-NH 2 /CNTs-15, which was conducive to the sensing behavior confirmed by follow-up performance experiments. Under the optimized condition, UIO-66-NH 2 /CNTs-15 exhibits the best sensing performance towards Pb 2+ . Correspondingly, a high sensitivity of 1.64 μA (μmol/L) −1 and a low detection limitation of 0.206 μmol/L (S/N = 3) are achieved. Meanwhile, a wide detection range, excellent selectivity, repeatability, and stability are also obtained. The recovery experiment by standard addition method is also carried out and a satisfactory result has been attained indicating a promising sensor for practical application.

Adjusting the internal porous environment of MOFs to enhance their adsorption properties is considered an effective strategy to improve their gas separation performance. Herein, 1-ethyl-3-methyl-imidazolium acetate ([Emim][Ac]) was encapsulated in UiO-66 by an impregnation method for the improvement of carbon dioxide (CO2) capture performance. The synthesis and detailed characterizations of the developed [Emim][Ac]@UiO-66 are reported, and the effect of the loading amount of [Emim][Ac] on the CO2 separation performance was also studied. The obtained [Emim][Ac]@UiO-66 could efficiently show the synergistic effect of the adsorption of CO2 between [Emim][Ac] and UiO-66. The optimized [Emim][Ac]@UiO-66 exhibited a much higher CO2 adsorption capacity at 298 K and 1.0 bar, affording 2 times the CO2 uptake than its original UiO-66. In addition, the CO2/N2 selectivity and CO2/CH4 selectivity of [Emim][Ac]@UiO-66-3.5% are significantly higher than those of UiO-66. This study for designing various MOF-encapsulated ionic liquids potentially paves the way for the development of highly efficient absorbents for gas separations.

Microsphere layers/nanofibrous membranes decorated with UiO-66-NH 2 as a metal-organic framework (MOF) were successfully obtained by one-step coaxial electrospinning. The coaxially spun dense microsphere/wire-like structure and UiO-66-NH 2 hydrophilic components with excellent hydration ability enabled the prepared membrane to have excellent static and dynamic adsorption capacity for dyes and oil-in-water emulsion separation performance (adsorption capacity >247 mg/g; separation efficiency >99%). What's more, the membrane can purify complex wastewater dynamically and efficiently (separation efficiency >99%). After the membrane was desorbed in ethanol and methanol, the reversible recovery rate was as high as 98%, indicating its excellent recyclability. In a word, the as-prepared membrane has broad prospects in the remediation of complex polluted water bodies containing dyes-oil.

Owing to the specific porous structure which could provide additional passage channel for some molecules, metal organic frameworks are attractive candidates for enhancing permeability and selectivity of membranes in pervaporation, reverse osmosis, and gas separation. In this experiment, Ag@UiO-66-NH2 was introduced into polyamide separation layer by interfacial polymerization of triethylenetetramine and 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid chloride for nanofiltration. The results indicated that Ag@UiO-66-NH2 nanoparticles did endow the membranes with rapid diffusion pathways for water molecules. When the content of Ag@UiO-66-NH2 was 0.03 g, the prepared membrane (NF-Ag-3) showed high flux about 47.3 L·m-2·h-1 at 0.6 MPa, which is about 2-fold higher than that of polyamide membrane without Ag@UiO-66-NH2, while the MgSO4 rejection rate remained about 87.4%. The membrane also showed excellent antifouling properties, and the water flux recovery ratio was 95.6% after filtration BSA solution. When it was applied for 50 mg/L bisphenol A removal, the rejection rate reached 94.6%, and the flux is about 49.1 L·m-2·h-1. Moreover, Ag particles on UiO-66-NH2 rendered the membrane with good inhibition for Escherichia coli. The antibacterial rate of the membranes is above 95% when the loading of Ag@UiO-66-NH2 is more than 0.03 g.

The preparation of synthetic drug delivery systems free of antibody modifications that can effectively recognize tumor sites and control drug delivery is essential for cancer therapy. In this study, UiO-66 metal–organic framework (MOF) modified with amino and phenylboronic acid groups was used as substrate to load the anti-cancer drug doxorubicin (DOX). Then a molecularly imprinted polymer (UiO-66-DOX@MIP) with sialic acid (SA) as the template molecule was further prepared on the surface of the synthesized nanoparticles using surface molecular imprinting technique (MIT). This polymer combines the excellent properties of UiO-66 and molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP). It was simple to prepare, economical and easy to obtain, and had a regular morphology. UiO-66-DOX@MIP containing molecularly imprinted binding sites that match the template molecule SA, could specifically recognize target tumor cells. The imprinted layer prevented drug leakage in normal body fluids while degrading and drug release under tumor microenvironment, with pH and glutathione (GSH) dual-responsive drug release properties. The UiO-66-DOX@MIP showed excellent biocompatibility and great cellular uptake efficiency to cancer cells without influence of interfering substances.

Developing the high-anti-fouling membrane has kept continuous attention in oil/water emulsion treatment. However, the majority of works on anti-fouling membranes mainly focused on low-viscosity oils, which greatly limited the development and application of a membrane to face the real crude oil wastewater. Inspired by the hydrophilicity of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and zirconium base metal–organic frame (Zr-MOF), an anti-oil-fouling CMC/UiO-66-NH2 composite membrane was constructed by a self-assembly method. Profiting from the hydrophilicity and micro-nanostructure of the CMC/UiO-66-NH2 layer, the obtained CMC/UiO-66-NH2 membranes displayed underwater superoleophobicity and desired oil resistance. It could display the effective separation capability with 1282 ± 62 to 6160 ± 81 L/(m2·h·bar) and above 99.08% toward the different light oil emulsions. More importantly, the CMC/UiO-66-NH2 membrane displayed ultralow crude oil adhesion behaviors toward the crude oil emulsions, which could achieve a considerably high flux (746 ± 60 to 5224 ± 87 L/(m2·h·bar)). Furthermore, electrostatic interaction and physical enwinding–wrapping between CMC and UiO-66-NH2 also endowed the composite membranes with outstanding stability. After immersing the as-prepared membranes into the harsh environments for 24 h, the membranes still maintained high underwater–oil contact angles (UWOCA > 155°) and separation ability (oil rejection was above 99.0%). Therefore, CMC/UiO-66-NH2 composite membranes could demonstrate promising prospects in real oily emulsion treatment.

In this study, we successfully synthesized a novel composite material UiO-66/polyacrylate (UiO/PA) by suspension polymerization and in situ growth of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). Due to the control of heterogeneous nucleation and firm growth, nano-UiO-66 with a diameter of only 400 nm has been reduced by about 90%, resulting in lower transfer resistance, effective separation of photogenerated carriers, and more catalytic active sites exposed. Under visible light irradiation, UiO/PA with 48.7% loading can almost completely degrade rhodamine B (RhB) in 120 min and the corresponding degradation rate constant of RhB reached 0.0203 min–1 from 0 min–1. After easy filtration and five cycles, the degradation rate is still above 85%. This study can provide new insights into effectively improving the photocatalytic performance of MOFs.
