Constructing well-defined MOF/COF heterostructures that integrate pollutant enrichment with efficient interfacial charge separation remains challenging, as intimate interfacial contact may compromise framework integrity. Herein, an ultrathin TPA-COF/UiO-66-NH₂ heterostructure is fabricated via interfacial self-assembly of exfoliated TPA-COF nanosheets, forming a conformal COF coating while preserving the crystallinity and microporosity of UiO-66-NH₂. Microscopic, thermogravimetric, and nitrogen sorption analyses reveal a continuous ultrathin COF layer with a low yet quantifiable loading (~1.5 wt%) and a BET surface area comparable to that of the pristine MOF. Compared with the individual components and their physical mixture, the assembled heterostructure exhibits markedly enhanced photocatalytic Cr(VI) reduction, highlighting the importance of controlled interfacial integration. Comparative adsorption studies, kinetic modeling, and pH-dependent experiments indicate that Cr(VI) enrichment is closely associated with surface-charge-mediated interactions of the amine-functionalized framework. Suppressed photoluminescence, enhanced photocurrent response, and radical scavenging experiments are consistent with improved interfacial charge separation, with photogenerated electrons serving as the dominant reductive species. Band-edge analysis further suggests a staggered energy alignment that is energetically favorable for interfacial carrier transfer. These findings illustrate how combining functional-group-mediated enrichment with controlled interfacial assembly can cooperatively influence adsorption and charge-transfer processes in MOF/COF heterostructures.

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is considered a promising metal oxide due to its good stability and appropriate conduction band potential. However, photocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction solely with TiO2 is still limited by the low solar energy conversion efficiency. To enhance the photocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction performance, researchers synthesized a composite material based on Er-doped TiO2 and Ce-modified UiO-66(Zr) using a simple solvent evaporation method. The experimental results reveal that compared with pristine UiO-66, this composite material exhibits a significantly improved CO2 conversion rate and product selectivity. The excellent activity of this catalyst is attributed to the direct Z-type heterojunction, which greatly improves photogenerated charge separation. Furthermore, UiO-66 (Zr/Ce)/Er-TiO2 (henceforth U1(0.5% Er-T3)) composite material exhibited excellent cycling stability in five consecutive stability tests, indicating long-term application potential. This research underscores the importance of designing and modifying MOF-based photocatalysts for efficient CO2 reduction and provides valuable insights for the development of sustainable energy conversion systems.

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) pose significant ecological risks due to their widespread occurrence, persistence, and potential to disrupt microbial ecosystems. Conventional adsorbents often suffer from limited adsorption capacity, bacterial fouling, and poor reusability, necessitating the development of advanced multifunctional materials. Herein, we present a novel flexible branch-pinecone nanostructured UiO-66-MCA composite nanofiber membrane (UMNM) engineered through a combination of electrospinning and self-assembly process, where pinecone-like MCA structures grow on UiO-66 wrapped nanofibers. This distinctive hierarchical architecture synergistically enhances PPCPs adsorption and antibacterial properties. The UMNM demonstrates exceptional adsorption performance for salicylic acid (SA), achieving a capacity of 154.21 mg/g, with kinetics and isotherms following the pseudo-second-order and Freundlich models, respectively. Notably, the membrane maintains robust adsorption under complex wastewater conditions, exhibiting excellent regeneration and anti-interference capabilities. In dynamic filtration tests, the UMNM removes 80.89 % of SA from raw sewage while reducing chemical oxygen demand (COD) from 149.17 mg/L to 48.48 mg/L, meeting wastewater discharge standards. Furthermore, the UMNM achieves bacteriostatic rates of 72.20 % against Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) and 84.58 % against Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ), mitigating biofouling risks. This study presents an innovative MOFs-HOFs composite membrane that integrates multifunctional PPCPs removal, bacteriostatic activity, and real-world wastewater applicability, offering a breakthrough solution for emerging aquatic contaminants.

The ubiquitous accumulation of antibiotics and synthetic dyes in aquatic environments has emerged as a critical threat to the ecological integrity and human health. Visible-light-driven photocatalysis represents a sustainable strategy for decontaminating such pollutants; yet, its practical efficacy is often hampered by narrow light-harvesting ranges and rapid photogenerated carrier recombination. Herein, a ternary photocatalyst, namely, CDs/UiO-66-NH2/BiOCl (CUCl), was rationally constructed by integrating carbon dots (CDs) into a UiO-66-NH2/BiOCl Z-scheme heterojunction. Serving as an efficient electron reservoir, the introduced CDs not only significantly extended the visible-light absorption range but also effectively suppressed carrier recombination. Under visible-light irradiation, the optimized CUCl catalyst achieved remarkable degradation efficiencies of 87.2% and 98.8% for tetracycline and rhodamine B, respectively, outperforming the binary UiO-66-NH2/BiOCl heterojunction and pristine BiOCl. Radical trapping experiments and photocatalytic mechanism investigations revealed that photogenerated holes (h+) and superoxide radicals (·O2–) were the dominant active species responsible for pollutant degradation. Moreover, the CUCl catalyst exhibited excellent structural stability and reusability, retaining more than 85% of its initial catalytic activity after four consecutive reuse cycles. This work provides a novel and viable strategy for fabricating high-efficiency, stable environmental photocatalysts via the synergistic integration of Z-scheme heterojunctions and carbon dot functionalization.

Trypsin inhibitors (TIs) are common anti-nutritional factors in legumes and grains, necessitating reliable detection for food nutrition assessment and feed safety control. This study took advantage of immobilized enzymes and successfully constructed an efficient magnetic core-shell composite material, Fe 3 O 4 @SA/Trypsin@UiO-66. Within this structure, the sodium alginate (SA) hydrogel provides a mild microenvironment for trypsin immobilization, while the outer UiO-66 metal-organic framework (MOF) shell not only enhances the nanoreactor's stability but also improves substrate enrichment and catalytic efficiency through a nanoconfinement effect. The nanoreactor exhibits robust magnetic separability, well-retained catalytic activity, and long-term applicability. Systematic performance studies revealed that, compared to free enzyme, the nanoreactor exhibited enhanced stability under freeze-thaw cycles and across broad pH (2-11) and temperature (25-70 °C) ranges, maintaining over 70% of its initial activity after multiple uses. In practical sample detection, the established nanoreactor system, which uses the nanoreactor as the core material and benzoyl- l -arginine ethyl ester (BAEE) as the substrate, was successfully applied to analyze TI content in various grain flours and fish feeds. In addition, the results provide evidence supporting the role of thermal processing in reducing TI activity. This research provides a reliable approach for the efficient detection of anti-nutritional factors in complex matrices.

BACKGROUND Developing new materials for separating Sr 2+ ions from aqueous solutions is significant. Metal–organic frameworks are regarded as excellent adsorption materials due to their high specific surface area and abundant adsorption sites. In this work, a novel UiO-66-(COOH) 2 -based mixed matrix membrane (MMM) was prepared by combining UiO-66-(COOH) 2 with polyethersulfone (PES) for separating Sr 2+ . RESULTS The MMMs were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and water contact angle and water flux measurements. Various contents (0–2.5 wt%) of UiO-66-(COOH) 2 were blended into PES membranes. The results showed that incorporating UiO-66-(COOH) 2 significantly increased membrane porosity and water flux, and reduced contact angle. The membrane (M4) that contained 2.0 wt% UiO-66-(COOH) 2 exhibited an excellent morphology and the highest Sr 2+ uptake capacity (111.9 μg cm −2 ). Adsorption kinetics and isotherms showed that the nature of the adsorption of the membrane towards Sr 2+ was chemisorption, homogeneous and monolayer. Compared with the adsorption capacity of UiO-66-(COOH) 2 towards Sr 2+ in adsorption packed column, these values of M4 decreased by about 75% during membrane filtration. The rejection performance of MMMs increased with increasing UiO-66-(COOH) 2 content. Breakthrough curves of MMMs were not correlated with flow rate in the range of 10–180 mL h −1 . The presence of Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ ions did not obviously affect the separation of Sr 2+ , but Pb 2+ had a significant influence. Furthermore, after five adsorption–desorption experiments, the regeneration remained at about 95% of initial values. CONCLUSIONS The MMMs showed good adsorption capacity for Sr 2+ and exhibited favorable reusability and stability. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry (SCI).

Sieving of H + /V n + ions is essential to vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB). Herein, the interconnected hierarchical proton sieving-conductive channels are constructed through the graft of sulfated UIO-66 (UIO–66OSO3) along the polybenimidazole (PBI) backbone with the highly reactive and acidic sulfate ester functional group. Highly porous UIO-66OSO3 provides numerous angstrom scale sieving channels (about 5 Å) to transport proton and repel vanadium ion , and the sulfated groups ended flexible side chains are densely bonded to UIO-66 and aggregate into broad nanoscale ionic clusters (∼8 nm) for fast proton conduction between UIO-66OSO3 nanoparticles . The as-prepared membrane exhibits low vanadium permeability (7.88 × 10 −9 cm 2 s −1 ) and area resistance (0.23 Ω cm −2 , lower than that of Nafion 212). High energy efficiency (86.1%) and low discharge capacity decay (0.15% per cycle) are achieved even after 100 charge-discharge cycles at 100 mA cm −2 , and the battery keeps running for 2000 cycles without morphological and chemical changes . The VRFB proprieties are far superior to Nafion 212 membrane VRFB proprieties (energy efficiency 74.9%, decay rate 0.71% per cycle), and also surpasses most recently reported porous, dense and hybrid ion conductive membranes.

In this study, a series of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) NH 2 -UiO-66- x HAc catalysts were synthesized by solvothermal method using acetic acid (HAc) as a modulator, and were applied to the cycloaddition of CO 2 and epichlorohydrin (EPIC) under ambient pressure. Influences of the modulation by HAc on morphologies and structures of the MOFs are demonstrated via PXRD, FESEM, FTIR, N 2 adsorption–desorption, XPS and 1 H NMR characterizations. The results show that the MOFs containing mesoporous pores can be prepared by adjusting the concentration of HAc. By optimizing the amount of HAc added, the specific surface area of NH 2 -UiO-66-8HAc is as high as 879.17 m 2 ·g −1 , which is 28.3% higher than that of the original MOFs. And the evaluation of catalytic performance showed that HAc modulation enhanced the activity of NH 2 -UiO-66- x HAc under mild conditions. The exposure of Lewis acid sites, increased specific surface area and porosity via the modulation of HAc defective ligand can be supposed the key factors to determine the enhanced catalytic activities. In addition, considering the influence of gas concentration on the reaction, the concept of TOP (Turnover of Pressure, defined as the mass of conversions of a unit mass catalyst under unit pressure and unit time) was first proposed in this article.

Solar-driven carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction into valuable chemicals or feedstock is of great significance for the sustainable development of the environment and energy. Herein, we presented a photo-induced reduction method to synthesize catalysts by anchoring Zn single atoms (SAs) on UiO-66-NH2. Impressively, UiO-66-NH2-0.7Zn SAs had excellent performance in converting CO2 to carbon monoxide (CO), which was about a 5-fold improvement compared to pristine UiO-66-NH2 without a photosensitizer or hole sacrificial agent under UV-vis light. The remarkable photocatalytic CO2 reduction performance was attributed to the built-in electric field construction by anchoring highly dispersed Zn SAs on UiO-66-NH2. The built-in electric field could effectively promote the separation of photogenerated charges and activate CO2. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that low-coordination Zn–N2 sites could dramatically enhance the formation of COOH*, which was the rate-limiting step for CO generation. This study created a new opportunity to develop high-efficiency photocatalysts containing single-atom sites for photocatalytic CO2 reduction.

A new zirconium-based adsorption material (UiO-66-AMP) was prepared by modifying UiO-66-NH 2 with 5-adenosine to effectively remove Pb(II) and Cr(VI) from wastewater. The SEM, EDS, XRS and FT-IR characterization confirmed the successful synthesis of UiO-66-AMP. We conducted a sets of experiments to test the adsorption effectiveness of UiO-66-AMP for Pb(II) and Cr(VI). The maximum adsorption capacity of UiO-66-AMP for Cr(VI) (pH=2) and Pb(II) (pH=4) are 196.60 and 189.69 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption process conforms to the pseudo-second-order and Langmuir models, which indicates that the adsorption is a single-layer chemical process. Gibbs free energy ( ∆G) indicates that the adsorption of Pb(II) is an exothermic reaction , while the adsorption of Cr(VI) is an endothermic reaction . At the same time, the adsorbent maintains excellent adsorption capacity at least after 4 cycles. The good adsorption performance of UiO-66-AMP towards the metal ions was attributed to the surface complexation and electrostatic interactions. Therefore, the new adsorbent has obvious application prospect to remove Pb(II) and Cr(VI) from wastewater.

Herein, we report a new metal–organic framework (MOF)-based composite beads adsorbent made via incorporating UiO-66 MOF, carboxylated graphene oxide (GOCOOH) into sodium alginate for efficient removal of methylene blue dye, and Cu2+ ions. The successful fabrication of the synthesized UiO-66/GOCOOH@SA composite beads was confirmed by means of X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared, scanning electron microscopy, zeta potential, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis and BET measurement. The incorporation of both UiO-66 and GOCOOH into SA beads greatly increased their adsorption efficiency for the removal of both MB and Cu2+ with maximum adsorption capacities of 490.72 and 343.49 mg/g, respectively. The removal process of both MB and Cu2+ follows the pseudo-second-order model and Freundlich isotherm model. A plausible adsorption mechanism was discussed in detail. Regeneration tests clarified that the removal efficiencies toward both MB and Cu2+ remained higher than 87% after five cycles. These results reveal the potentiality of UiO-66/GOCOOH@SA beads as an excellent adsorbent.

A polyoxometalate acid can be encapsulated into a metal–organic framework to construct a novel kind of solid-acid catalyst. In this work, the two-step method —high-temperature preparation of Zr6O4(OH)4(CH3COO)12 and low-temperature self-assembly—has been adopted to synthesize the PW12@UIO-66 composite (PW12 = H3PW12O40; UIO-66 = Zr6O4(OH)4(OOC–C6H4–COO)12). The as-synthesized PW12@UIO-66 composite exhibits highly crystalline, good octahedron morphology, large specific surface area (1960 m2 g−1) and high thermal stability (>500 °C), which clearly demonstrates the potential as a solid-acid catalyst. Additionally, the PW12@UIO-66 composite may be accomplished with 85% utilization of H3PW12O40 and 95% yield through this synthetic procedure. The performances of the PW12@UIO-66 composite are investigated by catalyzing the simultaneous transesterification and esterification of soybean oil into biodiesel. Under the optimal conditions, the conversion of the soybean oil into biodiesel would exceed 90% over the as-synthesized PW12@UIO-66 composite. As the crucial indexes for industrial prospects, the recycling and life experiments were surveyed. After 10 times recycling and 4 weeks, the structure and performance of the PW12@UIO-66 composite remained unchanged and in the meantime the PW12@UIO-66 composite still maintained a high activity to convert soybean oil into biodiesel.
