Although membrane separations have evinced an enormous potential in the treatment of dye wastewater, the ubiquitous membrane fouling leads to a dramatic decline of separation efficacy and life span, impeding the progress of membrane-based applications. The copper-triazolate MOFs (CuTz-1) exhibit robust thermal and chemical stability with a unique feature of degrading organic molecules under the visible light, rendering them highly promising for construction of self-cleaning membrane. This study presents the utilization of photocatalytic MOFs (CuTz-1) for construction of the CuTz-1/graphene oxide (CuTz-1/GO) composite membranes via filtration-assisted assembly followed by chemical crosslinking. The presence of CuTz-1 among the GO nanosheets promotes an enhancement of the GO interlayer distance, thereby promoting a higher water flux without compromising the dye rejections. The best-performing CuTz-1/GO membranes exhibits the high water permeance of 40.2 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 and superior dye rejections (Congo red: 99.4%, direct red: 98.2%, methyl blue: 94.9%), low salt rejections (e.g., NaCl: 0.3% and Na 2 SO 4 : 19.6%), as well as long-term nanofiltration stability. Furthermore, after visible light irradiation, the treated membrane was nearly recovered to have the original separation efficacy due to effective photocatalytic removal of the attached dyes from the membrane surface. The CuTz-1/GO membrane also exhibits an ultra-high bacteriostasis rate of 100%, probably to be ascribed to the combined antimicrobial effect of CuTz-1 and GO. This work is expected to give a useful guideline for developing loose nanofiltration membranes with favorable photocatalytic and antimicrobial properties, offering an appropriate solution of using self-cleaning membranes for the treatment of dye wastewater.

A trithiocyanuric-Zr based MOFs adsorbent (ZT-MOFs) was synthesized by using trithiocyanuric acid as a linker and zirconium chloride as a metal matrix and used to recover Au(III). ZT-MOFs was characterized by FT-IR, BET, Raman and FE-SEM. ZT-MOFs are porous material and have good stability in the range of pH 1–9. ZT-MOFs showed a higher adsorption capacity for Au(III) (333.34 mg/g) at 480 min and pH = 7. The experimental data fitted to Freundlich and pseudo second-order models, indicating a heterogeneous multi-layer chemadsorption is the dominated step. ZT-MOFs separated selectively Au(III) from laboratory wastewater containing various interfering ions. The removal rate of Au(III) decreased only from 94.5% to 87.5% after 4 adsorption and desorption cycles. This shows that ZT-MOFs have good repeatability. FT-IR, XPS and Zeta potential data shows that the adsorption mechanism of Au(III) on ZT-MOFs is coordination. Therefore, ZT-MOFs have great potential in extracting Au(III) from wastewater.

Exposing different facets on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is highly desirable to enhance the performance for various applications, however, exploiting a concise and effective approach to achieve facet-controlled synthesis of MOFs remains challenging. Here, by modulating the ratio of metal precursors to ligands, the facet-engineered iron-based MOFs (Fe-MOFs) exhibits enhanced catalytic activity for Fenton reaction are explored, and the mechanism of facet-dependent performance is revealed in detail. Fully exposed (101) and (100) facets on spindle-shaped Fe-MOFs enable rapid oxidation of colorless o -phenylenediamine (OPD) to colored products, thereby establishing a dual-mode platform for the detection of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) and triacetone triperoxide (TATP). Thus, a detection limit as low as 2.06 n m is achieved, and robust selectivity against a wide range of common substances (>16 types) is obtained, which is further improved by incorporating a deep learning architecture with an SE-VGG16 network model, enabling precise differentiation of oxidizing agents from captured images. The present strategy is expected will shine light on both the rational synthesis of nanomaterials with modulated morphologies and the exploitation of high-performance trace chemical sensors.

A series of copper triazolate metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), denoted as CuTz-1_X (X = CH 2 OH, Py, and FPh), were synthesized via doping functionalized triazole ligands (3,5-R 2 -tzH where R = CH 2 OH, Py, or FPh) into the reactant of parent CuTz-1 ([Cu 8 (3,5-Ph 2 -tz) 6 ](BF 4 ) 2 (CH 3 OH), where 3,5-Ph 2 -tz = 3,5-diphenyl-1,2,4-trizolate). The synthesized MOFs were thoroughly characterized via PXRD, 1 H NMR, SEM-EDS, EA, TG, etc. It was observed that doping ligands featuring similar size and structure with 3,5-diphenyl-1,2,4-triazole in the parent MOF CuTz-1 resulted in a higher incorporation quantity. Furthermore, the introduction of functional ligands into the modified MOFs, CuTz-1_X, led to enhanced adsorption performance for the removal of methyl blue (MeB) in comparison with that observed over the parent MOF. Especially, CuTz-1_Py, in which 3,5-bis(4-pyridinyl)-1,2,4-triazole was doped, exhibited the highest MeB adsorption capacity of 352.3 mg·g − 1 at 293 K. Besides, the adsorption capacity of MeB over CuTz-1_X MOFs materials maintained stable even in the simulated real water systems. More importantly, the adsorption efficiency of MeB over CuTz-1_Py was still 87 % after four cycles of adsorption experiments while preserving the crystallinity and morphology of the adsorbent, indicating that the modified MOFs materials (i.e. CuTz-1_X) could be promising candidates for wastewater treatment.

Stationary sorbents play a key role in the separation process. We present here a kind of unique separative material, called thiophilic affinity MOFs, as specific sorbent for the capture of compounds containing disulfide-bond. The sorbent was obtained through epoxide ring-opening reaction among MOF-5-NH 2 , tris(2,3-epoxypropyl) isocyanurate, and thiophilic reagents under mild reaction condition. The synthesized sorbent was characterized with X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, Fourier transform infrared, thermogravimetric analysis and N 2 absorption. The capillary electrophoresis experiments verified their high specific recognization and separation for disulfide bond-containing compounds.

Electrochemical reduction of nitrate to ammonia is an eco-friendly strategy to remove the nitrate pollution in waste effluents. Developing new-type electrocatalysts with high activity for NO 3 RR has attracted worldwide attention. Owing to the numerous active single-metal sites, electric conductivity and ordered in-plane porous structure, conductive metal–organic frameworks (cMOFs) are promising alternative to construct the next-generation NO 3 RR electrocatalysts. In this work, a bimetallic cMOF (Cu x Co y HHTP) is proposed for efficient NO 3 – electroreduction to ammonia and the synergy effect between different types of single-metal sites is also revealed. As the result, the optimal Cu 1 Co 1 HHTP exhibits an outstanding electrocatalytic activity with a high NH 3 yield rate of 299.9 μmol h −1 cm −2 and a large Faradic efficiency of 96.4%. Both theoretical and experimental results reveal that the Co sites can affect the electron structure of Cu sites in Cu 1 Co 1 HHTP slab and decrease the ΔG of potential determining step in NO 3 RR process. Moreover, the Co sites bring a higher selectivity to Cu active sites for reducing *NO 2 to *NO, rather than the desorption of NO 2 – . The bimetallic c-MOFs strategy will innovate the design concept of next-generation catalyst, paving the way to investigate catalytic mechanism of single-metal-atom and open up their application prospects.

Efficient manufacture of electroactive vertically-oriented nanosheets with enhanced electrolyte mass diffusion and strong interfacial redox dynamics is critical for realizing high energy density of miniature supercapacitor (SC), but still challenging. Herein, microfluidic droplet printing is developed to controllably construct vertically-oriented graphene/ZIF-67 hetero-microsphere (VAGS/ZIF-67), where the ZIF-67 is coordinately grown on vertically-oriented graphene framework via Co ─ O ─ C bonds. The VAGS/ZIF-67 shows ordered porous channel, high electroactivity and strong interfacial interaction, providing rapid electrolyte diffusion dynamics and high faradaic capacitance in KOH solution (1674 F g −1 , 1004 C g −1 ), which are verified by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and density functional theory (DFT). Moreover, the VAGS/ZIF-67 based SC exhibits large energy density (100 Wh kg −1 ), excellent durability (10 000 cycles and high/low temperature), and robust power-supply applications in portable electronics.

Modulating the morphology of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has been identified as an effective strategy for enhancing the electrocatalytic performance of CO 2 reduction reactions (CO 2 RR). In this study, CAU-17 MOFs ([Bi(BTC)(H 2 O)]·2 H 2 O·MeOH) were prepared via a sonication-assisted method at room temperature, which is considered a simpler technique compared to the conventional hydrothermal method . Additionally, the morphology of CAU-17 MOFs was further regulated by incorporating a rare-earth metal (La), resulting in the observation of two distinct structures, i.e. CAU-17 hexagonal prism (CAU-17-HP) and CAU-17 layer (CAU-17-Layer). Compared to CAU-17-HP, CAU-17-Layer exhibits an excellent selectivity towards formate with the maximum Faradaic efficiency of 95.5% at − 1.1 V RHE in an H-cell. Subsequently, the limited catalytic activity of CAU-17-Layer was boosted by anchoring nano CeO 2 onto its surfaces (CeO 2 @CAU-17-Layer). The as-prepared composite catalyst demonstrated outstanding performance in the conversion of CO 2 to formate, with a current density surpassing − 100 mA cm -2 at potentials more negative than − 1.0 V RHE and reaching − 200 mA cm -2 at − 1.5 V RHE in a flow cell. This study demonstrates the significant potential of morphology-engineered and rare-earth metals composited MOFs in facilitating highly efficient reduction of CO 2 .

An environmentally friendly and cost-effective adsorbent for removing U(VI) from radioactive wastewater is of significant importance for protecting the environment. In this work, we successfully prepared an ultralight carbon aerogel material (CUCA/MPCs) derived from chitosan and MOFs, and synthesized an adsorbent (CUCA/MPCs-PO 4 ) with a high chelation ability to U(VI) through phosphorylation modification. Various characterization techniques were used to characterize the microscopic morphology and crystallographic structure of the adsorbents. During the batch experiments, it was determined that the optimum pH for the adsorbents for U(VI) was 6.5. According to the linear Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model, U(VI) adsorption on the adsorbent is a monolayer chemisorption reaction. The fitted maximum adsorption capacities of CUCA-PO 4 , CUCA/1MPCs-PO 4 , and CUCA/2MPCs-PO 4 for U(VI) were 357.1 mg/g, 526.3 mg/g, and 592.0 mg/g, respectively. Furthermore, the three adsorbents showed good recyclability, maintaining 79.0 %, 77.4 %, and 82.2 % of the initial adsorption capacity after eight cycles, respectively. The results of actual U(VI) waste adsorption experiments showed that CUCA/2MPCs-PO 4 achieved 92.2 % removal of U(VI), showing good potential for practical applications. Finally, the possible adsorption mechanism between U(VI) and adsorbent was discussed in the context of experimental and characterization results. Overall, this study provides a valuable research idea for the treatment of radioactive wastewater containing U(VI).

A hybrid polymer–MOFs architecture UiO-66-NH2@PMAA was synthesized by tethering polymethacrylic acid (PMAA) onto the surface of the metal–organic frameworks UiO-66-NH2, and it was further employed for pectinase immobilization by electrostatic interactions. The hybrid architecture was prepared through a combination of atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), click chemistry and postsynthetic modification (PSM). The optimal immobilization parameters were at 25 °C and pH 4.0 with 10 U/mL of pectinase for 2 h, under which pectinase showed the highest enzymatic activity (1.215 U/mg) and protein loading (448.5 mg/g), respectively. Compared with free pectinase, the immobilized was found to exhibit higher pH, thermo, and storage stability. Additionally, the immobilized pectinase had remarkable reusability, the residual activity reached as high as 81% after 8 cycles continuously. Meanwhile, the desorption of immobilized pectinase can be achieved by changing pH values of the medium. Obviously, the UiO-66-NH2@PMAA with attractive properties is highly promising for enzyme immobilization.

Making use of novel materials to develop efficient catalysts is one of the research hotspots for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol. Herein, UiO-66, a typical Zr-MOF, was modified by ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) to serve as a substrate for the synthesis of AuCu bimetallic catalysts. The resultant AuCu@UiO-66-EDTA catalyst exhibited a superior methanol production rate, which delivered a high space-time yield of methanol (3.34 gMeOH gmetal–1 h–1) at 250 °C and 3.0 MPa. The EDTA modification was found to effectively confine AuCu nanoparticles inside the framework of MOFs, which significantly reduced the metal particle size and enriched the oxygen vacancy concentration. As a consequence, more active sites were generated for methanol synthesis. Moreover, the AuCu@UiO-66-EDTA catalyst yielded more favorable reaction intermediates that could be converted to methanol at a faster rate. This work develops unique MOFs-encapsulated bimetallic catalysts and illuminates the positive effect of confinement.
