In this paper, the electrochemical behavior of Zr(IV) and Y(III) in NaCl-KCl-K2ZrF6-YCl3 molten salts is studied by cyclic voltammetry, linear sweep voltammetry, and chronopotentiometry methods, which will provide a theoretical foundation for the preparation of Zr-Y alloy coating by molten salt electrodeposition method. Results show that the reduction of Zr(IV) on molybdenum electrode is a three-step charge-transfer process, while the reduction of Y(III) is a single-step diffusion-controlled three-electron quasi-reversible process at −0.30 V vs Pt. In addition, the diffusion coefficient of Y(III) in the melt at 750 °C is calculated as 2.15 × 10−5 cm2·s−1. The reduction of Zr(IV) and Y(III) on molybdenum electrode in NaCl-KCl-K2ZrF6-YCl3 molten salts has also been studied by cyclic voltammetry method. Results indicate that the Zr-Y alloy coating can be obtained on molybdenum electrode by galvanostatic electrolysis at −1.50 V vs Pt for 30 min.

The development of active oxidative desulfurization (ODS) catalysts is of practical importance. Recently, MOF-808(Zr) has been attempted to use as ODS catalyst due to its various advantages. However, generally MOF-808(Zr) prepared by conventional method was less active in the oxidation reactions due to the lack of defect sites in the structure. In this contribution, we report that the catalytic oxidative performance of MOF-808(Zr) can be enhanced by acid treatment due to the formation of defect sites resulting from the partial removal of organic linkers in the structure. During the experiment, the effect of acid concentration, treatment time, the addition amount of oxidant and reaction parameters on the performance of MOF-808(Zr) was studied. The catalytic results show that MOF-808(Zr) treated with 0.4 M HCl for 1h can catalyze the oxidation of dibenzothiophene completely at 60°C in 15 min. The activity (mole number of converted DBT per hour per unit mass) is 70 mmol h −1 g −1 , which is much higher than that (45 mmol h −1 g −1 ) of parent MOF-808(Zr). In addition, the catalyst can be reused several times without obvious loss of catalytic performance.

La/Zr co-doped SrTaO2N has been investigated as visible-light-active photocatalysts for water reduction. Unlike previous aliovalent doping that leads to a decrease in light absorption, La/Zr co-doping largely preserves the visible light absorption of SrTaO2N. More importantly, the La/Zr co-doping not only helps to improve surface hydrophilicity and reduce particle sizes but also effectively inhibits defect formation (e.g. Ta4+) in SrTaO2N. These modifications are responsible for significant enhancements in photocatalytic H2 production. AQE as high as 0.84% was achieved at 420 ± 20 nm for Sr0.4La0.6Ta0.4Zr0.6O2N (x = 0.6), which also showed good durability and stability. Further analysis suggests that La/Zr co-doping negatively shifts the conduction band edge positions of SrTaO2N and contributes to better charge separation conditions.

The development of a simple, rapid, and sensitive method for monitoring antibiotic residues is crucial for maintaining food safety. Herein, a ratiometric fluorescence probe based on bimetallic organic framework (Eu/Zr-MOF) was developed for the detection of tetracycline (TC). The Eu/Zr-MOF was synthesized by the coordination of Eu 3+ and Zr 4+ with 2-APDC, which exhibited a grape-like cluster morphology and dual-emitting fluorescence at 430 nm/616 nm. Based on the internal filtering effect (IFE), significant fluorescence quenching was observed at 430 nm, whereas only slight changes occurred at 616 nm. The ratiometric sensing offered two broad linear ranges (0.5–8 μg/mL; 10–60 μg/mL) and a low detection limit (26.7 ng/mL). The proposed method was applied to the determination of TC in pork and water samples. Fluorescent sensors have the advantages of simple design, fast response, and high sensitivity, thus providing a promising means for evaluating the safety of food contaminated with TC.

A phosphonate-functionalized Zr@FMA material was prepared in this work as an adsorbent for the efficient recovery and enrichment of Th(IV) from aqueous solutions. The adsorbent, prepared by functionalizing Zr@FMA with alendronate sodium (ALS), a well-known active bisphosphonate, demonstrates good water stability and a large surface area, making it suitable for the separation and enrichment of Th(IV) in aqueous solutions. A comparison of the adsorption behavior of Th(IV) on Zr@FMA-ALS with the unfunctionalized Zr@FMA reveals that the introduction of phosphonate groups significantly enhances the maximum adsorption capacity and rate of Zr@FMA-ALS. The adsorption data aligns well with the Langmuir isotherm model, suggesting a uniform distribution of Th(IV) on the adsorbent surface in a monolayer coverage. Thermodynamic analysis indicates an endothermic and spontaneous adsorption process. Zr@FMA-ALS also shows excellent selectivity for Th(IV) over other metal ions in mixed solutions. Insights into the adsorption mechanism are provided through SEM, XPS, and FT-IR analyses, indicating that ALS molecules play a crucial role in capturing Th(IV) on the surface of Zr@FMA-ALS.

The introduction of rich-electron ligands is a promising strategy to improve the ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) ability of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) for efficient photocatalytic CO 2 reduction reactions (CO 2 RR), while the resulting impaired Lewis acid sites go against stable bonding with CO 2 and hinder the electron transfering to CO 2 . It is thus the key to search a trade-off between increasing LMCT and frustrating Lewis acid. Herein, the ferrocene (Fc) modified UiO-66 series MOFs, NH 2 -UiO-66-Fc, have been prepared to optimize LMCT for boosting CO 2 RR through a simple solvent-assisted ligand incorporation (SALI) method. Theoretical calculation and systematic experiments, including photoelectrochemical measures, in situ electron paramagnetic resonance, fluorescence probe analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicate that with increasing Fc content, the LMCT energy of MOFs significantly decreases from 2.66 to 2.10 eV based on the established electron transfer double-channel mechanism, while the Lewis acidity of Zr sites reduces with the CO 2 adsorption energy ( E ad ) ranging from −1.061 to −0.632 eV. Through introducing an optimal Fc content, NH 2 -UiO-66-Fc (2.0) integrating satisfactory LMCT ability and Lewis acidity shows superior photocatalytic CO 2 RR performance (CO yield: 90.65 μmol·g −1 ·h −1 ), about 13 times higher than that of the unmodified MOF and superior to most reported pristine MOF photocatalysts. DFT calculation demonstrates that the excellent performance of NH 2 -UiO-66-Fc (2.0) is attributed to the lowest energy barrier of 1.50 eV for the rate-limiting step of *COOH formation. In this work, such a simple post-modification strategy for facilitating the whole electron transfer path of photocatalytic CO 2 RR will provide a new way to construct high-performance MOFs-based CO 2 RR photocatalysts.

The application of photocatalysts in environmental field has emerged as a prominent research topic. Nevertheless, the efficiency of photocatalysts is reduced as the recombination of photogenerated chargers significantly, restricting their extensive use in this domain. In the present study, photocatalysts composed of bismuth molybdate/NH 2 -UiO-66(Zr) (Bi 2 MoO 6 /NH 2 -UiO-66(Zr)) featuring Z-scheme heterojunctions were effectively synthesized using a two-step hydrothermal technique. These photocatalysts exhibit remarkable photocatalytic degradation under visible light conditions. Notably, the broad planar configuration of Bi 2 MoO 6 sheets improves the separation of the photogenerated charge carriers. NH 2 -UiO-66(Zr) layered atop Bi 2 MoO 6 sheets enhances the availability of catalytically active sites, reduces charge recombination, and promotes charge transfer through the interface. The kinetic rate constant for Bi 2 MoO 6 /NH 2 -UiO-66(Zr) is around 0.00329 L mg −1 min −1 , indicating the increase of 3.78 and 41.13 times compared with pure Bi 2 MoO 6 and NH 2 -UiO-66(Zr), respectively. The efficiency for photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline using Bi 2 MoO 6 /NH 2 -UiO-66(Zr) reaches 81.72 % under visible light. Importantly, this efficiency exhibits a reduction of 10 % after five recycling cycles, demonstrating notable stability. The photocatalytic mechanism involved in tetracycline degradation was uncovered through trapping experiments and EPR, indicating that it is predominantly facilitated by the active oxidation of ·O 2 - and ·OH. The intermediates of the photocatalytic process as well as the possible degradation pathways were discussed. The creation of Bi 2 MoO 6 sheets/NH 2 -UiO-66(Zr) heterojunction photocatalysts provides a fresh approach to the development of novel catalysts, which may lead to significant advancements in environmental remediation efforts.

A series of Mg-Zr composite oxide catalysts prepared by the hydrothermal process were used for the transesterification of glycerol (GL) with dimethyl carbonate (DMC) to produce glycerol carbonate (GC). The effects of the preparation method (co-precipitation, hydrothermal process) and Mg/Zr ratio on the catalytic performance were systematically investigated, and the deactivation of the catalyst was also explored. The Mg-Zr composite oxide catalysts were characterized by XRD, TEM, TPD, N2adsorption-desorption, and XPS. The characterization results showed that compared with the co-precipitation process, the catalyst prepared by the hydrothermal process has a larger specific surface area, smaller grain size, and higher dispersion. Mg1Zr2-HT catalyst calcined at 600 °C in a nitrogen atmosphere exhibited the best catalytic performance. Under the conditions of reaction time of 90 min, reaction temperature of 90 °C, catalyst dosage of 3 wt% of GL, and GL/DMC molar ratio of 1/5, the GL conversion was 99% with 96.1% GC selectivity, and the yield of GC was 74.5% when it was reused for the fourth time.Keywords:glycerol carbonate;transesterification;hydrothermal process;Mg-Zr oxides

Fluorinated graphene (FG) among numerous two-dimensional materials has enormous potential in improving antifriction properties. However, they being susceptible to thermal oxidation and prone to wear hinder practical applications. Herein, UIO-66-NH2 (Zr-MOF) enjoying good chemical and thermal stabilities was assembled on the surface of FG nanosheets under covalent bonds and van der Waals forces. The Zr-MOF@FG composite was successfully synthesized and used as a lubricant additive. It can be seen that Zr-MOF@FG composites offer a synergistic lubricant mechanism at the friction interface. Moreover, due to the adsorption and purification performance of Zr-MOF, the obtained Zr-MOF@FG composite adsorbs the abrasive rust during the friction process, thereby realizing the purification of the lubricant. These findings suggest that Zr-MOF@FG shows tremendous potential as a lubricant additive.

Abstract In this paper, a simple but efficient method for the extraction and analysis of bifenthrin in water samples was proposed. The Fe 3 O 4 -based nanocomposites (Fe 3 O 4 @m-SiO 2 /PSA@Zr-MOF) were successfully synthesized and developed as adsorbents for magnetic solid-phase extraction. With the solvothermal reaction and sol–gel method, the resultant adsorbents exhibited excellent characteristics of large surface areas, homogeneous pore size, strong magnetic responsivity and high hydrophilicity. The parameters affecting the extraction performance including adsorbent amounts, adsorption time, species of eluents and desorption time were investigated. Under the optimal conditions, validation experiments such as recovery, reproducibility and limits of detection (LOD) were carried out and showed satisfactory results. The LOD of the targeted analytes was found to be 0.5 μg L −1 . The average recovery was 103.2% with the intra-day and inter-day relative standard deviations of 2.0 and 3.5%, respectively. Ultimately, the novel magnetic adsorbents were successfully applied to detect the bifenthrin compound in real water samples. Graphical Abstract

Grain size effect plays a vital role in piezoelectric performance from both scientific and technological view. However, the underlying structural mechanism related to grain size is still unclear. In the present study, the structural mechanism of grain size effect on piezoelectric performance has been revealed in the prototype Pb(Zr,Ti)O 3 system by using in-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction. The miniaturization of grain size tends to favor the appearance of higher symmetric tetragonal phase, while a single monoclinic phase is determined in the coarse-grained ceramics. The direct structural evidence reveals that both tetragonal and monoclinic phases in the fine-grained ceramics are less sensitive to the electric field, corresponding to the inferior piezoelectric performance, while the single monoclinic phase in the coarse-grained ceramics is more active to be driven by the electric field, generating good piezoelectric behavior. Both domain switching ability and lattice strain are suppressed with decreasing grain size, which directly leads to the deterioration in piezoelectric performance. The current results will benefit the structural understanding of the size effect of piezoelectric and other related systems.

The decontamination of chemical warfare agents (CWAs) from contaminated surfaces is of critical importance due to the severe threats posed by CWAs to human health and the environment, particularly given the persistent threat of chemical weapons since World War I. In this study, a novel UiO-66-NH2crosslinked hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogel was developed in the presence of polyvinyl alcohol under ambient conditions, leveraging the dual functionality of the amino-substituted zirconium-based metal–organic framework (Zr-MOF) as both a crosslinker and a catalytic site. The hydrogel demonstrated exceptional catalytic performance, achieving a degradation efficiency of over 90% for the chemical warfare agent simulant dimethyl 4-nitrophenyl phosphate (DMNP) within 1 h. Furthermore, the hydrogel demonstrated adequate mechanical and tensile strength for practical use, enabling easy peel-off from various contaminated surfaces without leaving residues. This peelable property, combined with its decontamination capabilities, highlights its significant potential for practical applications in the field of CWA decontamination.
