The selective separation of monovalent ions remains a challenge because of the similar sub-nanometer sizes. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising candidate membranes for ion selective separation based on the angstrom sized windows for size sieving. Here, to further enhance the monovalent ion selectivity , 1, 5-naphthalenedisulfonic acid tetrahydrate (NTDS) molecules with sulfonate groups are incorporated to offer a binding affinity, generating a UiO-66@NTDS membrane via the window-cavity structure confinement. In addition to the size sieving effect, the charge and affinity interaction can compensate the energy loss induced by the ion dehydration. Thus, the UiO-66@NTDS membranes exhibit elevated separation performance compared to the original UiO-66 membranes under the concentration gradient driven, accompanied by high monovalent cation permeation rates (i.e., 0.3–0.7 mol m −2 h −1 ) and mono-/divalent cation selectivities (i.e., ∼73 for K + /Mg 2+ , ∼57 for Na + /Mg 2+ , and ∼46 for Li + /Mg 2+ ). This work provides guidelines for the development of efficient ion-selective MOF membranes via the combination of size sieving and interaction attraction.

In recent years, the adsorption and separation of ammonia (NH 3 ) from airflow have attracted growing attention. However, there is a need to further enhance the adsorption capacity of adsorbents. In this study, the amino-functionalization of UiO-66 was investigated to evaluate its dynamic NH 3 adsorption performance by varying the type and proportion of organic ligands. It was observed that the introduction of amino groups significantly enhanced the ammonia adsorption capacity by 78.5 %, despite a minor reduction in specific surface area and pore size. Combined with the results of density functional theory and in-situ infrared, the enhanced adsorption ability can be ascribed to the functionalization increasing the polarity within the pore, thereby strengthening interactions with ammonia molecules through weak hydrogen bonding.

A new type aminophthalocyanine was synthesized and loaded on MOFs material UiO-66-NH 2 by impregnation method to synthesize a new type binary composite catalyst AmCoPc/UiO-66-NH 2 . It was systematically characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and N 2 adsorption desorption. The synthesized catalyst was applied to the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue dye under visible light. Compared with AmCoPc or UiO-66-NH 2 monomer performance, the synthesized AmCoPc/UiO-66-NH 2 composite significantly enhanced the degradation of methylene blue (MB), the best degradation efficiency was 90.32%. The reason is that the synergistic effect of AmCoPc and UiO-66-NH 2 effectively improves the light utilization efficiency. The desirable properties such as the positive catalytic activity of the central ion and the high specific surface area of the composites accelerate charge transport and reduce charge recombination.

The synthesis of ultra-thin, uniform and continuous polyamide (PA) membranes is a crucial prerequisite for enhancing their desalination performance. Research has indicated that effectively slowing down the interfacial polymerization (IP) reaction and promoting the interface stability are key strategies for achieving ultra-thin, uniformly nano-structured membranes with excellent performance. Herein, we have demonstrated the successful design of a continuous and uniform PA membrane, ranging from 10 to 20 nm, by utilizing the UiO-66-(OH) 2 n-hexane dispersion as a transition layer to regulate IP reaction and enable efficient water-salt separation. The results showed that the presence of the transition layer facilitated a bidirectional diffusion-contact reaction between the two monomers, resulting in improved interface stability and alleviating the occurrence of severe IP that may lead to heterogeneous membrane structures. As a result, the PA active layers formed through this approach exhibited superior thinness and uniformity compared to those produced via traditional IP methods. Moreover, the transition layer enabled uniform pre-polymerization of UiO-66-(OH) 2 at the reaction interface by pre-exposing it to down-diffusing acyl chloride monomers. This ensured the continuity of membrane structure while creating additional free volume within the membrane. This work presented a scalable method for manufacturing ultra-thin, defect-free, homogeneous, and high-performance nanofiltration membranes.

The preparation of modified membranes utilizing the UiO-66 framework for wastewater filtration is regarded as one of the most promising approaches to wastewater treatment, owing to its high efficiency and cost-effectiveness. In this study, a post-modified MOF, UiO-66-RSA, was synthesized via the condensation reaction of UiO-66-NH 2 and 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde. PVDF mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) were fabricated for the first time by mixing UiO-66-RSA into PVDF using the non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) method. Compared to pure PVDF membranes, the newly developed membrane, M4, demonstrated enhanced compatibility and superior mechanical strength. In dyeing wastewater treatment applications, M4 showed excellent separation efficiency for dye and heavy metal mixed wastewater, achieving rejection rates exceeding 90 %. Additionally, it maintained a high flux recovery rate (FRR > 90 %) and rejection rate (Rejection > 90 %) after six filtration cycles of dye-containing wastewater, indicating strong recyclability. These findings suggest that MMMs embedded with UiO-66-RSA hold significant promise for dyeing wastewater treatment.

Oriented designing the microenvironment of catalytic sites is essential for understanding catalytic processes. In this work, EDTA was first grafted in UiO-66 and then chelated Rh to obtain an efficient catalyst for 1-hexene hydroformylation reaction. EDTA not only served as a chelation site for Rh immobilization in UiO-66, but also markedly influenced the structure and properties of Rh/UiO-66. The incorporation of EDTA reduced the micropore content and suppressed the formation of heavy products. Moreover, the grafted EDTA regulated the electronic state of Rh effectively to improve the CO and propene adsorption, thus constructing an appropriate microenvironment for hydroformylation. Therefore, EDTA-modified Rh/U-E catalyst exhibited higher aldehydes yield, TOF and stability than Rh/U without EDTA. The dual role of EDTA in anchoring Rh sites and modulating the microenvironment for hydroformylation provides more prospects for designing customized MOFs-based catalysts.

Metal-organic framework UiO-66-NH 2 was studied as an adsorbent for effective boron removal from desalination seawater for the first time. First, UiO-66-NH 2 was synthesized using the solvothermal method and then characterized in terms of N 2 adsorption/desorption isotherms, zeta potential, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. Based on the experimental design of response surface methodology, the adsorption of boron on UiO-66-NH 2 was optimized using three independent variables: adsorbent dosage (60–80 mg/L), pH (5–7), and temperature (298–318 K). Under the optimized conditions, the maximum adsorption capacity was predicted to reach 24.54 mg/g. Investigation of the kinetics and isotherms revealed that the pseudo-second-order kinetics model and the Langmuir isotherm can well cover the adsorption data of boron. Thermodynamic parameters showed that the adsorption of boron by UiO-66-NH 2 is spontaneous and feasible. UiO-66-NH 2 also exhibits good reproducibility. It is a highly practical sorbent that can be used to remove boron from desalination seawater.

Defect engineering of metal-organic frameworks has attracted increasing attention in recent years for potential applications in gas storage and catalysis. In this study, defective UiO-66 is obtained by Ar and H2 plasma treatments. Compared with the pristine UiO-66, a new aperture with a size of ∼4 nm appears for a sample with the plasma modification, indicating the formation of mesopores within UiO-66 framework. Characterization results demonstrate that the pore volume, surface area and the number of Lewis and Brönsted acid sites can be easily tuned by varying the discharge parameters. The adsorption performance of UiO-66 is evaluated for the adsorption of methyl blue. In comparison to the pristine UiO-66 and the sample with H2 plasma treatment, the Ar plasma modified sample shows excellent adsorption activity due to the suitable pore size and volume. Equilibrium adsorption capacity as high as 40.6 mg·g−1 is achieved for the UiO-66 (Ar) sample.

The selective hydrogenation of furfural (FFA) to furfuryl alcohol (FA) is regarded as attractive transformation to achieve the sustainable synthesis of value-added chemicals from biomass resources. However, the conventional supported catalysts are significantly restricted by their narrow pore size, ununiform dispersion and easy leaching or aggregation of catalytic sites. Herein, we designed hollow UiO-66-NH2 as the support to encapsulate Pd nanoparticles (Pd@H-UiO-66-NH2) to achieve the highly active and selective conversion of FFA to FA. Benefiting from the void-confinement effect and substrate enrichment of hollow structure, as well as the surface wrinkles, the as-prepared catalyst Pd@H-UiO-66-NH2 exhibited 96.8 % conversion of FFA with satisfactory selectivity reaching up to 92.4 % at 80 °C, 0.5 MPa H2 in isopropanol solvent within 6 h. More importantly, as-prepared Pd@H-UiO-66-NH2 catalyst exhibited excellent long-term stability, as well as good universality toward a series of hydrogenation of unsaturated hydrocarbons.

UiO-67 is a Zr-based metal–organic framework (MOF) containing an organic linker namely, the dianion of biphenyl-4,4′-dicarboxylic acid (bpdc). Ce 4+ metal ions (0.02 Ce to Zr atom ratio) were incorporated into UiO-67 via partially replacing bpdc with the dianion of 2,2′-bipyridine-5,5′-dicarboxylic acid (bpydc); thus, the latter forms a bpydc-Ce complex. The resulting product (i.e., UiO-67-Ce) demonstrated a photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate that was over 10 times higher than that of UiO-67. Through this modification, a new energy transfer channel is opened up. The energy transfer between the bpdc and bpydc-Ce ligands (i.e., from excited bpdc to bpydc-Ce) weakened the recombination of the charge carriers, which was confirmed by photoluminescence, emission lifetime, and transient absorption measurements. This study presents a new way to construct highly efficient MOF photocatalysts.

As a protective layer for the flexible solar cell, a flexible protective material should be of high transmittance , excellent ultraviolet (UV) resistance and mechanical property. Herein, a foldable transparent polyimide (PI) composite film assembled with the zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks (UiO-66-X, X = H, NH 2 , NO 2 ) is prepared by the direct dispersion or in-situ growth methods. The results show that the transmittances of UiO-66-X@PI films (U@PI, NU@PI and OU@PI) prepared with the in-situ growth are higher than those of UiO-66-X/PI films prepared with the direct dispersion, and the former's mechanical properties are also better than those of the latter. This may be because that the UiO-66-X in the former are embedded into the PI matrix to construct multipoint bonding network. The U@PI exhibits stronger UV-resistance than the Pristine PI, NU@PI and OU@PI after 5000 equivalent sun hours (ESHs) UV irradiation. The attenuations of average transmittance and tensile strength for U@PI are 2.19 % and 18.68 %, respectively, which are only one half and one-third of those for the Pristine PI (4.59 % and 56.58 %), respectively. And the average transmittance of U@PI has been over that of the Pristine PI after 5000 ESHs UV irradiation. This may be because that the porous UiO-66 increases the UV transmission path and the electron-hole recombination center , thereby inhibits the destructive effect of UV.

Currently, there is a thermodynamic and kinetic mismatch between carbon dioxide methanation. Carbon dioxide is stable in nature and requires a highly active catalyst to facilitate its reduction reaction. In this article, Ru/ZrO 2 catalysts are prepared by a structure-directed derivatization strategy using zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) (UiO-66) as precursors. The porous framework structure of MOFs was utilized to construct Ru nanoparticles with a large size (≈9.7 nm). Photothermal catalysis is employed, and the photoexcitation induced the transfer of electrons from the conduction band of ZrO 2 to Ru, which elevated the electron density of Ru to the enriched state and promoted the activation of CO 2 adsorption, while the photothermal effect facilitated the warming of the catalyst bureau, which provided a favorable condition for CO 2 methanation. The compositional valence, morphology, specific surface area, bandgap and other properties of the catalysts were evaluated by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscpe, Brunner-Emmet-Teller measurements, hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction, CO 2 -TPD, ultraviolet–visible, photoluminescence, and photocurrent response characterization. The experimental results showed that 99% methane selectivity and 120.354 mmol g cat −1 h −1 methane yield were achieved at 1 MPa and photothermal (250 °C) conditions.
