This study presents a one-step encapsulation method for synthesizing X-shaped zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIF-8) and immobilizingRhizomucor mieheilipase (RML). We proved that the morphological structure of ZIF-8 had changed after immobilization with enhanced characterization using a field-emission scanning electron microscope, an energy-dispersive spectrometer, a transmission electron microscope, a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, and powder X-ray diffraction. The surface area and pore size of the carrier were investigated before and after immobilization using Brunauer–Emmett–Teller and Barrett–Joyner–Halenda methods, respectively. RML@ZIF-8 exhibited high recovery activity of up to 2632%, representing a 26-fold increase in its free lipase. Encapsulated RML was used for biodiesel production from soybean oil in an isooctane system with a conversion yield of 95.6% under optimum conditions. The resulting reusability of the immobilized enzyme indicated no substantial decline in the conversion yield, which remained at 84.7% of the initial activity after 10 cycles. The stability and high performance of the immobilized enzyme are attributed to the harmony between RML and ZIF-8 based on the easy synthesis of ZIF-8 and the short time required to immobilize RML.Keywords:X-shape ZIF-8;Rhizomucor mieheilipase (RML);encapsulation technique;biodiesel yield;soybean oil

In this article, ZIF-8 nanoparticles were synthesized in water and directly added to a polyethyleneglycol (PEG) aqueous solution (water-based mixing process) to prepare ZIF-8/PEG mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) for pervaporation desulfurization. The structure and properties of ZIF-8 particles were characterized by Fourier Transform-Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and BET analysis. The surface composition and structural morphology of all ZIF-8/PEG MMMs were systematically investigated by FT-IR and SEM. The effect of ZIF-8 content on the pervaporation performance of ZIF-8/PEG membranes was investigated. Versus pure PEG membranes, both the total flux and the sulfur enrichment factor of the ZIF-8/PEG MMMs were remarkably increased. This phenomenon is attributed to the good compatibility between PEG and ZIF-8 particles and the high thiophene selective sorption of ZIF-8 particles (confirmed by molecular simulation). Optimal pervaporation performance was achieved at a 4 wt% loading of ZIF-8 particles with the flux of 1.96 kg/(m 2 h) and the sulfur enrichment factor of 8.93. These increased by 397.46% and 18.75% versus pristine PEG membrane, respectively. In addition, the effect of operation temperature and feed sulfur content on membrane performance were also systematically investigated.

We fabricated a novel aminophenylboronic acid functionalized magnetic Fe3O4/zeolitic imidazolate framework-8/APBA (denoted as Fe3O4/ZIF-8/APBA). First, Fe3O4 was coated by zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (denoted as Fe3O4/ZIF-8) using the hydrothermal method. Next, the phenylboronic acid functionalized triethoxysilane reagent was synthesized by 3-aminophenylboronic acid and 3-isocyanatopropyltriethoxysilane, which was modified on the surface of the Fe3O4/ZIF-8 nanocomposite through the sol–gel technique and electrostatic interaction as well as π–π stacking interaction. The synthetic Fe3O4/ZIF-8/APBA exhibited high adsorption capacity and good specificity toward glycoproteins. Moreover, the Fe3O4/ZIF-8/APBA possessed high saturation magnetization (51.41 emu g−1) and achieved better separation in the presence of an external magnetic field. Above all, the as-designed Fe3O4/ZIF-8/APBA was successfully used to capture glycoproteins and identify the horseradish peroxidase (HRP) tryptic digest. This study provides a facile strategy to embellish the aminophenylboronic acid onto the nanocomposite substrate and develop a new material for the specific recognition and enrichment of glycoproteins and low-abundance glycopeptides in proteomics research.

The metal organic framework (MOFs)-derived porous carbon materials with highly dispersed metal active sites were of the exclusive application foreground in many field, such as catalyst, electrochemistry, adsorption desulfurization and so on. However, the loss issue of metal active sites in MOFs frame was indispensable during the high temperature carbonization because of the lower boiling point of many metals, thus fundamentally affecting the atom-scale uniform distribution merit of MOFs-derived porous carbon materials. This work was to provide a novel strategy to address the loss issue of the active metal volatilization in the fabrication of MOFs-derived porous carbon materials. The ZnO nanosheets were pre-grown on the surface of diatomite by using in-situ microwave-assisted preparation, and thereafter the Zn-containing ZIF-8 particles covered the surface of ZnO nanosheets by virtue of the ZnO-induced growth. The results affirmed that the high content Zn-doped porous carbon materials were achieved and the Zn volatilization in MOFs was restrained on account of the occurrence of ZnO on diatomite (DE) surface during the carbonization. The adsorption desulfurization performance of the ZnO/Zn-embedded porous carbon materials/DE (ZnO/Zn/C@DE) was examined by the sulfur-containing compounds in simulated oil. The adsorption desulfurization performance investigation indicated that the ZnO/Zn/C@DE had the optimum adsorption capacities of 45.3 mg/g for benzothiophene and 37.4 mg/g for thiophene. Nonetheless, the competitive adsorption desulfurization finding of toluene in simulated oil showed that the adsorption capacities of ZnO/Zn/C@DE for TH and BT were dramatically descended, suggesting the presence of S-M interaction, wherein S stood for the S atom in a thiophene molecule and their analogs, and M for Zn atoms in porous carbon materials.

With the rapid development of industrialization, the removal of heavy metal ions and small organic molecules from wastewater has triggered a hot debate. ZIF-8 was grown on a sodium alginate backbone using an in situ growth technique, the core-shell P-SMG@ZIF-8 was synthesized. It was also characterized by FTIR, XRD, SEM, UV–Vis and XPS, and the optimal conditions and mechanism of adsorption were explored. At pH 2.0, a contact time of 200 min, and 298 K, removal of Cu(II) and Ph up to 80.2 %, 65.6 % by P-SMG@ZIF-8, adsorption behavior consistent with Langmuir model for pseudo-secondary rates, the saturated adsorption of Cu(II) and Ph could reach up to 83.5812 mg/g and 78.1779 mg/g, respectively. And the adsorbed P-SMG@ZIF-8 is easy to separate and reusable, which is a cost-effective and efficient natural product-based adsorption material.

The integration of metal–organic framework (MOF) materials with magnetic cores not only serves as an effective adsorbent but also facilitates the recovery post-adsorption. In this study, we synthesized Ni@ZIF-8 composite nanotubes by introducing ZIF-8 onto the surface of Ni nanotubes, which were used as adsorbents for antibiotic removal. The Ni@ZIF-8 composite nanotubes exhibited high-efficiency and recyclable antibiotic adsorption, with the maximum adsorption capacities for tetracycline (TC) and cefixime (CFX) reaching 770.2 and 428.2 mg·g −1 , respectively. The Ni nanotubes, acting as magnetic cores, facilitated magnetic recovery after adsorption. Furthermore, the introduction of ZIF-8 not only increased the surface roughness of the composite but also incorporated a significant number of functional groups. The pseudo-second-order model, Langmuir model and intra-particle diffusion models provided better fits to the isotherm and kinetic data of the two antibiotics. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations results indicate that the π-π interactions dominate the adsorption process of both TC and CFX onto ZIF-8. And the electrostatic potential (ESP) calculations and interaction analysis indicate that the Ni atom enhances the adsorption behavior through π-π interactions between the benzene ring or carbonyl group of the two antibiotics and the imidazole of ZIF-8. This research offers a novel approach for the removal of antibiotics from contaminated water and environmental remediation using magnetic core-MOF composite materials.

Metal-organic framework (MOF) membranes have showed great potential in gas separation. To date, it is still a great challenge to precisely control the optimal orientation of MOF membranes with an enhanced gas separation performance. Herein, we prepared a compact and (110) oriented ZIF-8 membrane with a thickness of about 265 nm on graphite substrate within 1 h at room temperature via electric-field-driven strategy. Since the membrane is an intergrown one-crystal layer, grain boundary retardation of the flux is eliminated. Furthermore, due to the reduction of the transport pathways through the oriented structure, the (110) oriented ZIF-8 membrane exhibits a high gas separation performance. At 100 °C and 1 bar for the separation of equimolar binary gas mixtures H 2 /CO 2 , H 2 /CH 4 and H 2 /C 3 H 8 , separation factors of 49.5, 90.9 and 121.8 can be obtained, with H 2 permeance of about 1.7 × 10 -7 mol·m −2 ·s −1 ·Pa −1 . The developed strategy exhibits excellent reproducibility and scalability, and a large area ZIF-8 membrane can be consistently prepared on the graphite substrate, thus facilitating the preparation and application of the ZIF-8 membrane on a large scale. Further, the electric-field-driven strategy is also helpful for the preparation oriented ZIF-67 and ZIF-L membranes, confirming its versatility for the preparation of oriented MOF membranes.

Bimetal doped Cu–Fe-zeolitic imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8)/graphitic carbon nitride (GCN) (Cu–Fe-ZIF-8/GCN) nanocomposites were prepared via one-pot and ion-exchange methods. The main influencing factors, such as adsorbent concentration, TC concentration, initial pH, and coexisting ions, were evaluated in detail. Due to the suitable pore structures and the presence of multiple interactions on the surface, the nanocomposite showed a high adsorption capacity up to 932 mg g−1 for tetracycline hydrochloride (TC), outperforming ZIF-8 by 4.8 times. The adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherm were depicted in good detail using pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir models, respectively. Thermodynamic calculation revealed that the adsorption of the nanocomposite under experimental conditions was a spontaneous heat absorption process, and was primarily driven by chemisorption. After four cycles of use, the nanocomposite retained 87.2% of its initial adsorption capacity, confirming its high reusability and broad application prospects in removing tetracycline-type pollutants from wastewater.

Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs), composed of polymers and fillers, capitalize on the complementary strengths of both materials, offering a promising approach for developing high-performance membranes for C 3 H 6 /C 3 H 8 separation. However, the effectiveness of MMMs is often hindered by poor interfacial compatibility between the polymer and the filler. To address this challenge, we present an effective strategy that simultaneously enhances both interfacial compatibility and gas separation performance in MMMs. By etching ZIF-8 with cyanuric acid (CA), we successfully synthesized defect-engineered ZIF-8 (DZIF-8), a hollow nanoframe structure that features open metal sites. These sites not only coordinate with the amidoxime groups of amidoxime-functionalized PIM-1 (AO-PIM-1) to improve interfacial compatibility but also significantly enhance the adsorption capacity for propylene. The resulting MMMs exhibited excellent interfacial compatibility with no observable filler agglomeration. Remarkably, the 10 % DZIF-8-based MMM enhances C 3 H 6 permeability to 492 and boosts C 3 H 6 /C 3 H 8 selectivity to 24. The defect-engineered MOF-based MMM (DMMM) surpassed the 2003 upper bound for C 3 H 6 /C 3 H 8 separation and demonstrated outstanding resistance to plasticization. Furthermore, the DMMM exceeded the 2008 Robeson upper bound for H 2 /CH 4 (N 2 ) separation performance, highlighting its exceptional versatility. These results showcase the potential of defect-engineered MMMs in gas separation applications, particularly in high-performance C 3 H 6 /C 3 H 8 separation.

Rapid and accurate determination of rutin content in pharmaceuticals in an important issue. Here, a paper-based electrochemical sensor for in situ growth of chain ZIF-8 using multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as a template was constructed by hydrothermal method. The results showed that the combination of ZIF-8 and MWCNTs not only promoted the dispersion of MWCNTs, but also made up for the conductivity of ZIF-8. Under optimum conditions, the Ipa was linearly related to the concentration of rutin in the range of 0.01–10 and 10–190 μM with a limit of detection (LOD) of 2.82 nM. Finally, the paper-based electrochemical sensor can be used for the electrochemical detection of rutin through the determination of rutin in pharmaceuticals.

The porous structure and flexible crystal deformation ability of ZIF-8 provide ideas for the preparation of new inorganic nano-lubrication additives. Herein, the polydopamine (PDA) armor was coated on ZIF-8 surface to prevent its decomposition in water. The abundant active groups on the ZIF-8 @PDA surface promoted its strong mechanical anchoring on the surface of graphene oxide (GO) and improved the dispersion stability of nano-components in pure water. The nanoparticles and GO fragments released under mechanical and thermal action repair the broken tribofilms, and the flexible deformation of ZIF-8 nanocrystals in friction interface leads to the dispersion of frictional energy, resulting in the greatly reduction of friction coefficient and wear scar width of engineering steel surface (reduced by 82% and 83%).

For NO 2 , a gas that is widely used and harmful, domestic and foreign researchers have done a lot of work to develop a sensor with low detection limit and low humidity sensitivity to achieve efficient detection of NO 2 . In this work, first of all, dense and uniform SnO 2 nanosheets were grown in situ on the surface of Al 2 O 3 ceramic tube by hydrothermal method. Then, the ZIF-8@SnO 2 porous composite gas-sensitive material was constructed by solvent thermal method. With the advantages of the ZIF-8 porous screening framework, the permeation of different gases can be selectively controlled, and the adsorption efficiency of NO 2 gas can be enhanced through the modification of ammonia to improve the selectivity of NO 2 . The results show that the response of the Modified-ZIF-8@SnO 2 sensor is significantly enhanced, and the selectivity is greatly improved at low operating temperature. At 140 °C, the response of Modified-ZIF-8@SnO 2 to 50 ppm NO 2 gas is as high as 61, which is about 18.4 times higher than that of SnO 2 nanosheets and about 16.3 times higher than that of ZIF-8@SnO 2 . Meanwhile, the anti-interference ability of the Modified-ZIF-8@SnO 2 sensor to humidity has been improved. This work provides a new idea for improving the selectivity and humidity insensitivity of gas sensors.
