Thermally assisted photocatalytic CO2 conversion into high value-added chemicals represents an effective strategy for carbon emission reduction and circular carbon economy. This study constructed an integrated gas–solid interface thermally assisted photocatalytic system using NH2-MXene/TiO2/NH2-MIL-125 (Ti-NMT), achieving in situ CO2 capture from industrial flue gases and its efficient conversion to carbon monoxide (CO) with a production efficiency of 332.43 μmol g−1 h−1, along with 100% selectivity, and 94% activity retention over 5 cycles. The exceptional catalytic performance is attributed to MXene's metallic conductivity for rapid interfacial electron transfer, amine-induced Lewis acid–base interactions that enhance CO2 adsorption via dual-binding sites, and charge separation driven by synergistic S-scheme heterojunction and Schottky barrier effects. In addition, MXene's localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect boosts hot carrier density and reduces the activation energy of the catalytic reaction. This work resolved critical bottlenecks through heterointerface engineering and functional group optimization, providing both a viable pathway and experimental validation for industrial flue gas CO2 capture and resource recovery.

High-loading red carbon dots@NH2-MIL-53(Al) composite for ultrasensitive and selective picric acid detection via synergistic FRET and competitive absorption

Jie Hu,Hui Chen,Ruibin He,Pran Gopal Karmaker,Xiupei Yang,Fenglin Tang

Rapid and sensitive detection of picric acid (PA), a highly toxic and water-mobile nitroaromatic pollutant, is essential for environmental safety and public health protection. Herein, we fabricate a dual-emission ratiometric fluorescent probe by immobilizing high-load red-emitting carbon dots (R-CDs) onto NH₂-functionalized MIL-53(Al), forming an R-CDs/NH 2 -MIL-53(Al) composite for selective aqueous-phase PA sensing. R-CDs were hydrothermally synthesized with citric acid and neutral red as co-precursors. The loading efficiency was   maximized by systematically optimizing precursor molar ratios and dilution conditions. The composite exhibits distinct selective fluorescence quenching in the presence of PA. Mechanistic characterizations, including fluorescence lifetime decay measurements and spectral overlap analysis, verify that the fluorescence quenching originates from two synergistic quenching pathways, namely competitive light absorption and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), rather than nonspecific physical interactions. This ratiometric sensing platform achieves a wide linear detection range of 0.1–70 μM and an ultralow limit of detection (LOD) of 32.9 nM. Spike-and-recovery assays using real environmental water samples (tap water, commercial bottled mineral water, and Jialing River surface water) produced recoveries of 99.7%–105.1%, with relative standard deviations (RSD) below 5.86% ( n  = 3). Furthermore, a smartphone-enabled visual quantitative method based on RGB color channel analysis was constructed, enabling portable on-site detection without large-scale laboratory instrumentation.

This study uses polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) fiber paper as a skeletal support to fabricate a high-density, porous nonwoven support layer with excellent mechanical stability via wet papermaking. Sulfonated polyether ether ketone (SPEEK) is then cast onto its surface to form a continuous proton-conducting phase. Building on this foundation, synergistic doping with sulfonated graphene oxide (S-GO) and amino-modified silica (NH 2 –SiO 2 ) constructs a topologically interconnected proton exchange membrane structure exhibiting acid-base synergistic effects. The sulfonic acid groups on the S-GO surface act as high-density proton donors, providing continuous proton conduction sites. Meanwhile, the basic amino groups in NH 2 –SiO 2 form stable acid-base interactions and hydrogen-bond networks with sulfonic acids, effectively anchoring proton migration pathways, reducing disordered swelling, and extending proton hopping distances. This topologically interconnected acid-base synergistic network significantly enhances proton transport dominated by the Grotthuss mechanism while effectively suppressing methanol permeation. Performance testing reveals that the composite membrane with optimized doping ratio achieves proton conductivity up to 0.2 S cm −1 at 80 °C, with methanol permeability significantly lower than commercial Nafion-117 membranes. In direct methanol fuel cell testing, the composite membrane exhibited an open-circuit voltage of approximately 770 mV and a peak power density approaching 170 mW cm −2 , while demonstrating excellent thermal stability, oxidation resistance, and mechanical strength. These results demonstrate that constructing a topologically interconnected structure with synergistic acid-base interactions can effectively balance proton conductivity and fuel barrier performance, providing a viable new strategy for developing high-performance, low-cost proton exchange membrane materials.

Enhanced photocatalytic CO2 reduction over diatomite-supported TiO2@NH2-MIL-125 S-scheme heterojunction: Intensified charge separation driven by built-in electric field

Yi Wen,Chenguang Qian,Xiaohan Li,Ruizhe Sang,Fang Yuan,Chunquan Li,Zhiming Sun

The development of heterojunction photocatalysts is pivotal in enhancing charge transfer and inhibiting the recombination of photoexcited electron-hole pairs, which is an effective strategy to improve CO 2 conversion. In this study, we have been assembled the TiO 2 @NH 2 -MIL-125 S-scheme heterojunction on the surface of diatomite. Comprehensive characterization confirms the S-scheme charge transfer pathway, which not only promotes preferential accumulation of photogenerated charges at catalytically active sites but also enables rapid, low-resistance charge separation and migration. Meanwhile, the introduction of diatomite improves the dispersion of the active components and accelerates the separation of photogenerated carriers driven by the built-in electric field. Consequently, the TiO 2 @NH 2 -MIL-125/diatomite composite exhibits selective photocatalytic CO 2 to CO conversion without requiring sacrificial reagents. The composite achieves a CO evolution rate of 13.53 μmol g −1  h −1 , which is 2.20 times and 1.33 times higher than pure TiO 2 and the binary TiO 2 @NH 2 -MIL-125 composite, respectively. Furthermore, the composite maintains a stable CO production rate after three reaction cycles. This study presents an approach to designing mineral-supported S-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts for solar energy conversion applications.

In Situ Determination of Chloride Ions Using a Novel Double-Layer Membrane Optical Fiber Sensor Modified with the UiO-66-NH2/Lucigenin Complex

Chloride quantification is crucial for environmental monitoring, marine research, and the durability assessment of geotechnical infrastructures, yet accurate measurement in complex aqueous and soil matrices remains challenging. Optical fiber sensors offer distinct advantages, including resistance to electromagnetic interference, high sensitivity and low cost. Unfortunately, existing fiber-optic chloride sensors are often limited by insufficient sensitivity, poor anti-ion interference, inadequate portability, and an inability to perform long-term in situ monitoring. Herein, a novel fluorescent optical fiber chloride sensor based on UiO-66-NH2/lucigenin composite is fabricated, in which the mixture formed lucigenin encapsulated with UiO-66-NH2is immobilized within a dual-layer membrane composed of an inner cellulose acetate (CA) matrix and an outer polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) membrane. The chloride-responsive fluorescent probe operates on the principle of fluorescence quenching. The dual-layer sensitive membrane is engineered to significantly enhance sensitivity, linearity, and stability for long-term monitoring. Furthermore, the portable device eliminates the constraints of bulky optical systems and mitigates instability caused by photobleaching, enabling reliable in situ chloride detection in water, soil, and geotechnical environments. Experimental results confirm the superior analytical performance of the sensor across various soil and aquatic media. This work represents a notable advancement in the field of fluorescent optical fiber sensors and holds substantial promise for practical applications.

Bifunctional confinement strategy for sintering-resistant Ag catalysts: synergy of B2O3 electrophilicity and NH2-spacial limitation in steering C = O bond activation dynamics

Aidi Xie,Wusong Geng,Chun Chen,Yunxia Zhang,Haimin Zhang,Guozhong Wang

A mesoporous SiO 2 -supported Ag catalyst co-modified with B 2 O 3 and amino groups (B/Ag@NH 2 −MS) was synthesized through the grafting of amino group onto silica and subsequent impregnation with 10 wt.% Ag and 5 wt.% B 2 O 3 . Density functional theory (DFT) calculations and Bader charge analysis showed that boron (B) doping triggered extensive electronic changes in the modified support. It implied that B atoms gained a partial positive charge, showing Lewis acidic nature, while nearby Ag atoms had a partial negative charge. This electronic redistribution led to a downward movement of the Ag d -band center and a decrease in the work function, which in turn modulated the binding energies of adsorbates and reduced the desorption barrier of MG. Such dual-site cooperation strengthened the adsorption and polarization of the DMO carbonyl group at the adjacent Ag and B sites, thus promoting the activation of the C = O bond. Moreover, the anti-sintering capacity of Ag nanoparticles could be ascribed to their efficient stabilization mechanism, resulting from the synergistic action of oxygen-bridged B/O/Ag species and –NH 2 functional groups.Consequently, it is noted that the catalyst is able to maintain a conversion of about 99% DMO and a selectivity of about 94% MG, and it was able to maintain a conversion rate of over 96% for >350 h. These observations highlight a dual-site electron synergy strategy for developing very active and long-lasting Ag catalysts for ester hydrogenation.

Youzhou He,Shuang Luo,Xueli Hu,Yaling Cheng,Yumin Huang,Shengming Chen,Min Fu,Yiming Jia,Xingyan Liu

The bifunctional photocatalyst CDs@NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti), carbon nanodots (CDs) encapsulated in NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti), was constructed in situ by a simple and convenient low-temperature calcination approach, which exhibited great capacity in NO removal (at air level) and H 2 evolution simultaneously under visible-light irradiation. The NO removal rate of CDs@NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) (10 mM) reached 53%, which was 28.4% higher than pristine NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti). Moreover, the H 2 production rate was 5820.95 μmol g −1 , which was 5.34 times higher than that of original NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti). The corresponding optical and electrical performances of CDs@NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) characterized by UV–Vis, UCPL, ESR, and in situ DRIFTS , etc. indicated that the encapsulated CDs uniformly dispersed in the pores of NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) could improve the visible light utilization via the up-conversion effect and photosensitization, and serve as an electron-receiver to significantly prolong the lifetime of the photogenerated charge carriers, thus enhancing the photocatalytic performance. The results revealed that fabricating CDs with metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) could be an available strategy for us to boost the photocatalytic NO elimination and H 2 evolution activity simultaneously.

In-situ silver-bridged interfaces drive Z-scheme coupling on iron-doped NH2-UiO-66(Zr)/silver iodide for efficient aqueous antibiotic degradation

Haileyesus Hatano Haitosa,Osman Ahmed Zelekew,Pu Chen,Daniel Manaye Kabtamu,Weimao Yan,Hong Wang,Yi-nan Wu

Fluoroquinolone antibiotics like ciprofloxacin (CIP) pose environmental risks when released into water. Herein, a visible-light-active Fe-doped NH 2 -UiO-66(Zr)@AgI Z -scheme heterostructure was prepared via an ion exchange precipitation method. By varying AgI content, reduced particle size and enhanced charge separation for efficient photodegradation was achieved. The optimum composition (Fe-UNH@AgI-20) exhibited a 95.2 % degradation efficiency toward CIP after 60 min of visible-light irradiation. It also showed high removal efficiencies for tetracycline, lomefloxacin, and Rhodamine B. Reaction kinetics followed pseudo-first-order behavior, with rate constants significantly higher than those of pristine NH 2 -UiO-66(Zr) and AgI. The catalyst maintained 85.1 % activity after cycles, indicating good stability. Scavenger tests and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analyses identified holes (h + ), superoxide radical (•O 2 − ), and hydroxyl radical (•OH) as key reactive species. Fe doping enhanced visible-light absorption and created defect sites, while AgI introduction promoted charge separation and suppressed AgI photocorrosion. Under irradiation, a small fraction of Ag + was reduced to metallic Ag, forming an electron bridge that switched the initial type-II heterojunction to a Z -scheme configuration. This Z-scheme mechanism efficiently separated carriers, facilitated generation of ROS, and enabled thorough mineralization of CIP; toxicity predictions showed most products were less mutagenic than CIP, confirming reduced ecological risk. The findings demonstrate that the Fe-doped NH 2 -UiO-66(Zr)@AgI heterostructure is a promising photocatalyst for antibiotic-contaminated wastewater remediation.

Controllable Preparation of Novel UiO-66-NH2/g-C3N5 Thin-Film Nanocomposite Nanofiltration Membranes with Efficient Photocatalytic Pollutant Removal and Anti-Fouling Ability

Tian Jianghao,Xiao Min,Li Shifeng,Bu Ruiying,Yang Xin,Zhang Hongling,Chen Xiaoyang

To overcome membrane permeation selectivity defects and mitigate membrane fouling, a novel nanocomposite, UiO-66-NH 2 /g-C 3 N 5 (UNCN), was designed and synthesized. Notably, this composite overcomes the inherent limitations of UiO-66-NH 2 (limited visible light absorption) and g-C 3 N 5 (low specific surface area). The optimal composite ratio was determined to be 3:7 through systematic optimization. The UNCN-3:7 nanocomposite was then embedded into the polyamide selective layer on polysulfone via in situ interfacial polymerization under optimal conditions, resulting in a thin film nanocomposite (TFN) Nanofiltration membrane. Characterization revealed that the UNCN-3:7 Nanocomposites were uniformly distributed within the polyamide (PA) matrix. The resulting TFN Nanofiltration membrane possessed an ultrathin, positively charged selective layer with enhanced hydrophilicity, evidenced by a reduction in water contact angle from 60.3° to 47.3°. It exhibited a 43% increase in pure water permeability compared to the unmodified thin film composite (TFC) membrane (52.7 vs. 36.9 L·m −2 ·h −1 ·bar −1 ), while maintaining an excellent Na 2 SO 4 retention rate (> 96%). Furthermore, the membrane demonstrated excellent photocatalytic degradation performance, superior anti-fouling properties (flux recovery rate > 92%), and stable long-term operation. These results indicate that the construction of the novel UNCN nanocomposite Nanofiltration membrane presents an effective strategy to address membrane fouling issues.

Green water-etching synthesized La-MIL-101(Fe)-NH2@SiO2 yolk-shell nanocomposites with superior pH stability for efficient and selective phosphorus recovery

Shuangli Li,Yu Zhang,Sen Qiao,Jiti Zhou

Although MIL-101(Fe) has a homogeneous distribution of active metal sites, the relatively low stability of its coordination bonds limits its potential for application, especially in harsh environments. Here, a novel lanthanum-doped MIL-101(Fe)-NH 2 @mesoporous SiO 2 yolk-shell (LMFN-YS) material, synthesized by green water-etching, has effectively improved the adsorption capacity and stability of MIL-101(Fe)-NH 2 . Compared to traditional acid-base etching methods, water etching offered a more co-friendly and cost-effective approach to producing yolk-shell structures. Due to the mesoporous protective shell of mesoporous SiO 2 and more exposed active sites, the yolk-shell materials showed a faster adsorption rate (30 min) and a larger uptake capacity (240.0 mg P/g) than those of MIL-101. The material also exhibited broad range of pH stability from 2 to 10 and displayed good cyclic regeneration ability, with a removal efficiency of 75.9 % after three cycles. Additionally, it demonstrated excellent selectivity towards various coexisting anions such as Cl − , NO 3 − , SO 4 2− , CO 3 2− and HCO 3 − at diverse ionic strengths ranging from 0.001 to 1 M. The superior performance of L 1 MFN-YS (yolk-shell materials of La: Fe = 1:1) was attributed to a combination of factors, including ligand exchange between La(Fe)-OH and phosphates, Lewis acid-base interaction and electrostatic attraction. Additionally, high phosphate removal performance was observed in the real petrochemical wastewater (initial concentrations of 5.48 mg P/g) with a residual effluent concentration of 0.05 mg P/L, which was below the A-level standard of phosphate effluent in China (0.5 mg/L). This work provides a green method for preparing yolk-shell materials with improved ability to treat phosphate wastewater.

Mechanism for regulation of a forward osmosis membrane by the SA/UiO-66-NH2 composite interlayer and the resulting lithium ion concentration performance

Miaolu He,Yushuang Li,Leihao Feng,Jiaqi Wang,Ze Liu,Lei Wang,Jin Wang,Rui Miao,Xudong Wang

The traditional thin-film composite (TFC) forward osmosis (FO) membrane has problems such as poor water permeability and low lithium concentration selectivity because the separation layer is too thick and has many defect pores. In this study, a thin and dense separation layer was obtained by constructing a sodium alginate (SA)/UiO-66-NH 2 interlayer to control the attachment amount and diffusion rate of m-phenylenediamine (MPD), which enhanced the performance of the membrane. This paper studies the effect and mechanism of the interlayer on the structure and separation performance of the FO membrane, and explores the lithium ion concentration performance of the interlayer membrane. According to the results, based on the strong interaction between the interlayer and MPD, the equilibrium concentration of MPD available for interfacial polymerization was increased and the diffusion rate of MPD was slowed, resulting in the generation of a thin and dense separation layer. Since the interlayer restricted the escape of bubbles formed in the interfacial polymerization, the separation layer showed a leaf-like structure with increased filtration area and water storage space. Due to the reduced thickness of the separation layer and its leaf-like structures, the water flux increased significantly, and the water flux of the interlayer membrane was 47.9% greater than that of the original membrane. Drawing upon the heightened density of the separation layer and secondary separation of the interlayer, the reverse solute flux was lowered by 37.4%. The interlayer membrane exhibited efficient Li + rejection (R>93%) and the concentration ratio of Li + was close to its theoretical concentration ratio at 1.46 ± 0.03.

Lingli Liu,Sheng Xu,Zhenxi Wang,Xiaoguang Chen,Meng Cao,Shangxi Zhang,Yang Liu,Jinlong Cui

In order to promote the heavy metal ions removal of porous gel adsorbent and protect the adsorbent from other pollutants in wastewater, the tetrapod ZnO whiskers (tZnO) modified by amino-chain brush was introduced into the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix to prepare the PVA/NH 2 @TAtZnO composites with brush structure for toxic Pb(II) removal. The adsorption property, adsorption process and adsorption mechanism were studied by adsorption isotherms, adsorption kinetics, adsorption thermodynamics, SEM-EDS analysis and XPS analysis. And the anti-interference ability and anti-interference mechanism were researched by SEM-EDS analysis and XPS analysis. It was found that the PVA/NH 2 @TAtZnO composites displayed a soft-hard compound pore-brush structure and showed a good selective adsorption on Pb(II). The research of isotherms and kinetics indicated that the adsorption process was fitted well to Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order model, respectively, and the research of thermodynamics revealed the endothermic nature. The adsorption mechanism was inferred as the combination of predominant chemisorption and subsidiary physisorption. Comparing with the neat PVA matrix, the PVA/NH 2 @TAtZnO composites displayed a good anti-interference property on Pb(II) adsorption and showed an alleviative clogging pore-canal structure in the wastewater with SiO 2 NPs or PAC flocculants . The anti-interference intensity ΔQ and anti-interference factor χ were proposed to reflect the anti-interference ability of this adsorbent which was promoted with the increasing amino brush length or density. By the analysis of SEM-EDS and XPS, the anti-interference mechanism was explored as the steric-hinerance effect of tZnO hard brush to suspended SiO 2 NPs pollutant and the coordination effect of functional amino soft brush to soluble PAC pollutant. Besides, the prepared PVA/NH 2 @TAtZnO adsorbent possessed a good reusability under multiple adsorption-desorption processes and also presented a well applicability in real water matrix. The research indicated the huge potential of prepared PVA/NH 2 @TAtZnO adsorbent in heavy metal ions removal.
