Zr(IV)-crosslinked carboxymethyl cellulose/carboxymethyl chitosan hydrogels were prepared using polyethylene glycol (PEG) as pore-forming agent. The hydrogels exhibited porous structure and the pore size increased with the PEG content. The obtained hydrogels were used as adsorbents for removal of phosphate from aqueous solutions. The hydrogel prepared with most amount of PEG displayed largest adsorption amount of phosphate. This result might be attributed to improvement of surface area and pore volume caused by introduction of PEG, which could boost exposure of adsorption sites in the hydrogel and enhance the diffusion of phosphate into interior of the hydrogel. The phosphate adsorption achieved equilibrium within 400 min and the removal process followed pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The maximum adsorption capacity was reached at pH = 2.0, and the adsorption capacity gradually increased with temperature. In the presence of coexisting anions, SO 4 2− ions exerted much more negative effect on phosphate adsorption than Cl − and NO 3 − ions. The phosphate adsorption mechanism was related to electrostatic interaction, ligand exchange and ion exchange. Moreover, the hydrogel exhibited relatively stable adsorption capacity after six adsorption/desorption cycles. The present study presented a facile method for preparing an excellent hydrogel adsorbent for phosphate removal from aqueous solutions.

Acid treated kaolinites (KA) were successively loaded with Zr and Fe, Ni or Co component to control the product distribution and upgrade the tar quality in coal pyrolysis . The structure of the resultant catalysts was characterized and their catalytic performance in the pyrolysis of demineralized low-rank coal and benzyl phenyl ether (BPE), a model compound containing C al -O bridge bond, were investigated. Results show that the introducing of Zr into the KA can enlarge the hysteresis loop due to the stacking of ZrO 2 particles. The acidities, especially the strong ones, increase as the Zr content is below 8 wt% (KA-8Z). When adding Fe, Ni or Co metals into the KA-8Z, the number of Brønsted acid sites obviously decreases, but Lewis acid sites increase. The maximum BPE conversion of 94.0% occurs for the KA-8Z, further metal-loaded sample promotes the cleavage of C al -O bond in BPE and the formation of active H radicals from CH 3 OH, leading to the increase of BPE conversion. Besides, remarkable enhancement of target monomeric aromatics is observed for the Fe, Ni and Co-loaded samples. Compared with the pyrolysis without catalyst, the tar yield as well as pitch content decrease over the KA-8Z and its metal-modified catalysts. Wherein, Ni-KA-8Z has the highest activity for tar upgrading, leading to the largest increase in the contents of light oil and phenol oil. In-situ pyrolysis by time-of-flight mass spectrometry reveals the enhanced dissociation of weak covalent bonds linked in the coal skeleton over the KA-8Z and Fe, Ni and Co-modified catalysts, resulting in a decrease in the peak temperature for product release. A marked increase in phenols and diphenols confirms a promoted dissociation of ether bond in coal.

In the present study, a kind of Eu(III) post-functionalized Zr(IV)-based metal-organic framework (UiO-66(COOH) 2 , Zr-MOF: Eu 3+ ) was synthesized and utilized as an independently luminescent probe for sensing bilirubin (BR) in human serum, a biomarker of jaundice hepatitis. It can be served as a turn-off fluorescent switch for BR because its red emission from Eu 3+ can be easily quenched by BR through a fluorescent resonant energy transfer (FRET) process between BR and its ligands, and as a result, BR is recognized successfully. Particularly, Zr-MOF: Eu 3+ has shown many appealing properties, such as high sensitivity, quick response (less than 1 min), broad response window (0–15 μM), and excellent selectivity. Most importantly, a kind of portable test paper based on Zr-MOF: Eu 3+ probe has been developed for directly assessing the level of BR in real human serum and further diagnosing bilirubin-related diseases via visually observing the luminescent color variation.

To improve hydrogen storage property of Mg-based alloy, the Mg–Ce–Y–Ni + 10 wt % M (M = Zr, Ti, V) composites were prepared by the combination of alloying and ball-milling, and their microstructure, phase evolution, as well as hydrogen storage thermodynamic and kinetic properties, were investigated by XRD , PCT, and DSC methods. The result shows that the hydrogenated samples are composed of MgH 2 , Mg 2 NiH 4 and corresponding ZrH 2 , TiH 2 and VH 1.9 phases. In comparison, the |Δ H| value of M = Ti sample is larger than that of M = Zr and M = V samples, and the M = Ti sample has the highest the peak temperatures and lowest plateau pressure, which indicates that Zr and V elements are more efficient to reduce the thermodynamic stability of RE-Mg-Ni hydrogen storage alloys. Besides, the DSC curve of the M = V sample has another endothermic peak which corresponds to the decomposition reaction between VH 1.9 and VH 0.8 , which has a contribution to desorption kinetic property for the M = V sample. The apparent activation energies ( E de ) show an increasing trend in the following order: M = Zr (87.7 kJ/mol) < M = V (89.1 kJ/mol) < M = Ti (99.3 kJ/mol).

In recent years, the construction of drug carriers that integrate diagnosis and treatment has become a new trend. In this article, a metal–organic framework (Zr-MOF) was synthesized and functionalized using acetaldehyde-modified-cystine (AMC) to form the functional drug carrier Zr-MOF/AMC which could be used to determine the concentration of glutathione (GSH) for cancer diagnosis, and to achieve pH/GSH dual-responsive release of methotrexate (MTX) for cancer therapy. The cleavage of the AMC disulfide bond by GSH generates two fluorescent molecules that produce strongly enhanced fluorescence, and the intensity is proportional to the GSH concentration. The green fluorescence of Zr-MOF/AMC in cancer cells proves that it can be applied in cell imaging to detect abnormal GSH concentrations for early diagnosis. In addition, MTX loaded on the Zr-MOF/AMC is released by the cleavage of the –S–S– and –CN– bonds at the high GSH concentration and low pH in cancer cells. This dual-responsive drug release helps to deliver drugs to cancer cells more precisely. All the experiments suggest that this novel type of pH/GSH dual-responsive Zr-MOF/AMC nanoparticle may serve as a new drug delivery system for cancer diagnosis and treatment.

In recent work, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as ionic liquid analogues have been abundantly used in catalysis. Herein, vanadium phosphorus oxide (VPO) catalysts were synthesized from mono-, bi-, and tri- metallic DES of Nb, Zr, and Mo metal dopants as structure-directing agents and electronic promoters for n-butane selective oxidation towards maleic anhydride. Higher MA selectivity and larger n-butane conversion was successfully obtained using the newly developed catalysts, while oxidation by-product COx(CO, CO2) was minimized. Characterization techniques including FTIR, DSC, XRD, TEM, SEM, EDS, Raman spectroscopy, TGA, XPS, and NH3-TPD were employed to fully characterize the DESs, precursors and catalysts. This work led to an increase of 7.8% in MA mass yield with 16% more n-butane conversion as compared to an unpromoted VPO catalyst. Moreover, the utilization of a low-carbon alkane brought in a green impact on the chemical plant as well as the environment.Keywords:deep eutectic solvent;vanadium phosphorus oxide;n-butane selective oxidation;structure directing agent;electronic promoter

Porous metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) exhibit excellent characteristics for the adsorptive removal of environmental pollutants. Herein, the surface charge, adsorption sites, and adsorption spaces in the pore channels of UiO-67 nanocrystals were modulated by Ce(III) doping to reveal the effects of these parameters on the removal of organic dyes such as methylene blue (MB), methyl orange, and Congo red from aqueous solution. The MB adsorption capacity of Ce(III)-doped UiO-67 (398.9 mg g −1 ) exceeded that reported for pristine UiO-67 by 85%, which was rationalized by zeta potential measurements and adsorption isotherm analyses. As a result, it was revealed that whereas electrostatic repulsion occurred between MB and pristine UiO-67, electrostatic attraction occurred between MB and Ce(III)-doped UiO-67. Furthermore, Ce(III) doping promoted π–π interactions between the adsorbent and the adsorbate. Thus, Ce(III) doping increased MB adsorption capacity despite decreasing the number of adsorption sites and spaces in channels. The obtained results shed light on the mechanism of organic dye adsorption on MOFs and revealed that the synergetic interplay of electrostatic and π–π interactions, adsorption sites, and adsorption spaces increases the adsorption capacity for cationic dyes while decreasing that for anionic dyes.

Highly-conductive two-dimensional covalent organic framework (COF) displays prominent applications in various fields of science and technology. This paper reports the design and liquid-liquid interface synthesis of a novel Zr-coordinated amide porphyrin-based 2D COF (Zr-amide-Por-based 2D COF). The COF adopts a graphene-like multilayer structure with the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) band gap of 1.6 eV. The ordered multilayer structure of the amide COF was confirmed through a series of characterization techniques, including scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy , Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. In particular, the inherent-ordered structure of Zr-amide-Por-based 2D COF with Zr as the catalytically active center confers several distinct advantages to the material, such as high conductivity and high electrocatalysis performance. A molecularly imprinted tetracycline electrochemiluminescence sensor was constructed based on the Zr-amide-Por-based 2D COF, and gate control effect was used as a signal-generation mechanism. Under optimal conditions, the sensor showed a good linear relationship with tetracycline in the concentration range of 5–60 pM, with a detection limit of 2.3 pM. Because the sensor is rapid, cost-efficient, highly sensitive, and specific, it can be considered as a viable platform for veterinary drug residue monitoring.

The liquid phase ring-opening of octamethylcy-clotetrasiloxane (D 4 ) was investigated over Pt-H 2 SO 4 /Zr-montmorillonite catalyst. Montmorillonite (Mt), Zr-Mt, H 2 SO 4 /Mt, H 2 SO 4 /Zr-Mt and Pt-H 2 SO 4 /Zr-Mt were also detected for evaluation. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption–desorption, NH 3 -TPD and pyridine-FTIR measurements. In comparison to activate clay which is used in the industry of catalyst, Zr-Mt catalyst displayed stronger acidity and more excellent catalytic activity in the polymerization of D 4 , polymethylhydrosiloxane (D 4 H ) and hexamethyldisiloxane (MM) to low-hydro silicone oil. Relative to Zr-Mt, the acidity of H 2 SO 4 /Zr-Mt was noticeably improved and the catalyst exhibited a higher capability of ring-opening of D 4 conversion and yield of low-hydro silicone oil. To enhance the stability of H 2 SO 4 /Zr-Mt catalyst, a small amount of metals (Pt) was doped. The nitrogen adsorption–desorption results indicated that pore textural parameters of the Pt-H 2 SO 4 /Zr-Mt had not changed with larger specific surface area. Compared with H 2 SO 4 /Zr-Mt, the total acidity of Pt-H 2 SO 4 -Zr/Mt catalyst retained, but the content of the Brønsted acid increased and the content of the Lewis acid decreased. The Pt-H 2 SO 4 -Zr/Mt catalyst displayed higher catalyst reproducibility. After 40 h reaction of polymerization, the yield of low-hydro silicone oil decreased from 93% to 42% over H 2 SO 4 /Zr-Mt catalyst, while the yield of low-hydro silicone oil reduced from 93% to 78% over Pt-H 2 SO 4 /Zr-Mt catalyst. A sharp decrease in catalytic activity after 35 h of Pt-H 2 SO 4 /Zr-Mt catalyst was detected. Furthermore, Pt-H 2 SO 4 /Zr-Mt was completely regenerated under appropriate condition and appeared good repeatability in the D 4 , D 4 H and MM to low-hydro silicone oil.

Bacterial infection and inadequate osseointegration represent significant challenges in the application of titanium (Ti)-based bone implants. Surface modification presents a promising strategy to address these obstacles. Taking advantage of silver ions, black phosphorus nanosheets (BPNs) and polydopamine (PDA), this study developed a versatile platform on the surface of Ti-12Mo-10Zr (TMZ) alloy through a multiple surface modification process, including the anodic oxidation treatment of TMZ alloy, the preparation and addition of silver-loaded BPNs (BPNs/Ag), and the coating with PDA. Our results demonstrated that silver enhanced the stability of BPNs/Ag, which were successfully loaded to the nanostructure of oxidized TMZ surface. PDA coating conferred a pH-responsive property to the surface, prolonged the release of silver ions, and improved the photothermal performance. In acidic conditions that mimic bone defect microenvironment, the platform exhibited good photothermal performance, accelerated Ag + release, enhanced antibacterial efficacy, and increased osteoinductivity. Taken together, due to its advantageous characteristics, the versatile platform provides a valuable solution to improve the surface performance of TMZ alloys.

Dissolved inorganic and organic phosphorus is a major factor in triggering the eutrophication of water bodies. At present, a novel Zr 4+ cross-linked sodium alginate encapsulated in Ce-UIO-66 microspheres (Zr-SA/Ce-UIO-66) was prepared and systematically characterized. Its ability for capture of phosphate and glyphosate in their single and binary systems has been investigated comprehensively. Results showed that Zr-SA/Ce-UIO-66 exhibits excellent phosphate adsorption, achieving 92 % removal and a maximum adsorption capacity of 125 mg P/g at 313 K. Diversified mechanisms, including electrostatic attraction, ligand exchange and hydrogen bonding, have cooperatively participated in phosphate removal. Interestingly, in phosphate and glyphosate mixed solutions, the presence of phosphate significantly enhanced the removal of glyphosate for the formation of complexes between phosphate ions and the adsorbent. And that was similar to the presence of glyphosate in phosphate adsorption. Simulated wastewater experiments demonstrated the adsorbent’s practical application in water contaminated with both organic phosphorus and glyphosate composites and its potential for recycling and reuse.

A novel La-Zr@SA/NIPAM adsorbent was synthesized through bimetallic modification of sodium alginate (SA) and acrylamide (NIPAM)-based hydrogel for efficient phosphate removal. Compared to conventional adsorbents, La-Zr@SA/NIPAM exhibits abundant active sites and remarkable selectivity for phosphorus, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 105.3 mg/g for phosphate. The material properties were thoroughly characterized using scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM-EDS), N 2 adsorption/desorption isotherms, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques. N 2 adsorption/desorption isotherms analysis showed that the specific surface area was 125 m 2 /g and consisted mainly of mesopores, and the network structure was clearly observed in the SEM images to provide a good support structure for the adsorbent. Meanwhile, the study investigated the impacts of pH, temperature, concentration, coexisting competitive ions, recycling regeneration, and actual wastewater on phosphate adsorption. The adsorption process is exothermic and spontaneous, favored by higher temperatures. Kinetic and thermodynamic studies support pseudo-secondary kinetics and Langmuir modeling indicating monolayer chemisorption. Cycle regeneration and real wastewater experiments demonstrated that La-Zr@SA/NIPAM maintained 80 % phosphate removal even after six regenerations. The phosphate removal mechanism involves electrostatic attraction, ligand exchange, and complexation. Moreover, the treatment of real wastewater is similar to the experimental results and also has a significant effect on the removal of other ions, which highlights the great potential of this method in mitigating phosphorus pollution.
