Well dispersed nanocatalysts on porous substrate with macroscopic morphology are highly desired for the application of heterogeneous catalysis. Traditional fabrication process suffers from multiple steps for controlling the structure on nanocatalysts and matrix or both. Herein, we report a facile strategy for the synthesis of millimeter-sized hierarchical porous carbon beads (HPCBs) which containing well dispersed hollow-nano carbon boxes for peroxymonosulfate catalysis. Specially, the precursors of HPCBs were prepared by phase inversion method, which involving introduction of zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) nanocubes into polyacrylonitrile (PAN) solutions followed by solidification of the mixture. After pyrolysis , nitrogen doped and hierarchical porous HPCBs with diameter of about 1.2 mm were obtained. The merits of our synthesis strategy lie in that synchronizes the hollow microstructure evolution with the shaping of ZIF-8 nanocubes into millimeter scale beads. Attribute to its special structure feature and the appropriate chemical composition, the resultant millimeter-sized HPCBs exhibit enhanced catalytic performance by activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for tetracycline degradation . The degradation efficiency of TC is up to 85.1% within 120 min, which is 18% higher than that of ZIF8-Solid/PAN carbon bead (SPCBs). In addition, the possible decomposition pathways, main reactive oxygen species , and reasonable enhanced mechanism for the HPCBs/PMS system are systematically investigated by quenching experiments, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). This work addresses the issue of easy aggregation and recycling of carbon materials in industrial productions and extends the prospects of carbon materials in engineering applications.

Volatile organic compound (VOC) sensors have recently been developed with sensitive coating layers to improve their performance. However, there are inevitable trade-offs in the performance of the VOC sensors with sensitive layers. It remains challenge to achieve higher sensitivity, faster response time, working at room temperature and better selectivity at the same time for real-world applications. In this work, we demonstrated a novel photothermal-assisted gas sensor using a microfiber long period grating (LPG) modified with zeolitic imidazolate framework-90 (ZIF-90)/graphene oxide (GO) for enhanced VOC acetone sensing. The GO-isolated ZIF-90 exhibited ultralow conductivity and high porosity, which significantly promoted light-to-heat energy conversion by trapping thermal and minimizing heat loss. Besides, the natural porosity and ultrahigh surface area of the ZIF-90 showed superior molecular adsorption making it a good choice for the acetone-sensitive layer. Based on the porous ZIF-90/GO nanohybrid and photothermal effects, the proposed sensor showed improved performance compared without adding laser towards acetone, with the sensitivity of 26.1 pm/ppm and low limit of detection of 760 ppb. Moreover, the proposed photothermal technology enhanced the response time down to 410 ms without sacrificing sensitivity. Thus, our proposed sensor constitutes a promising platform for effective acetone sensing systems that can be used for environmental monitoring and industry.

ZIF-derived metal/carbon materials have received great attention for heterogeneous catalysis because of their versatile tunability; however, most of them are microporous-dominated structures, seriously limiting their catalytic performance. Herein, we directly synthesized CoZn@CN catalysts with high specific surface area and pore volume via the facile pyrolysis of CoZn-ZIF/g-C3N4@PDA composites (g-C3N4, graphitic carbon nitride; PDA, polydopamine), in which g-C3N4 works as the pore-forming agent and template and PDA mainly functions as the carbon source. The optimal catalyst (Co4Zn2@CN) exhibits superior specific surface area (825.0 m2/g) and pore volume (2.4 cm3/g), which can remarkably improve the mass transfer efficiency and boost the active site exposure, achieving a TOF of 34.5 h–1 for the selective hydrogenation of 3-nitrostyrene at 80 °C and 1 MPa H2. Additionally, the preferential adsorption of the nitro group is confirmed to be the main reason for the general selectivity in the hydrogenation of various functionalized nitroarenes. Finally, the Co4Zn2@CN catalyst also shows excellent stability and can be reused at least 5 times. We anticipate that such a novel strategy may provide some valuable insights into the synthesis of ZIF-derived catalysts with tunable structures.

Bacteria and oils can be found in domestic sewage and wastewater from biomedical industries, however, traditional membranes have limitation in bacterial resistance, so it is high demand to design oil-water separation membranes with antibacterial activity. In this work, a novel TCN-ZIF-67/PVA@NM composite membrane with underwater superoleophobic property was prepared by in-situ growth method. The effects of ZIF-67 on emulsion separation and antibacterial activity were investigated in details. Results show that TCN-ZIF-67/PVA@NM have high separation efficiencies for oil-in-water emulsions stabilized by SDS, CTAB or Tween 80. Due to the positive charge of ZIF-67, the separation flux shows a trend of SDS>CTAB>Tween 80. The separation efficiency and antibacterial activity of the composite membrane increased and the separation flux decreased with the increase of the particle size of ZIF-67. In addition, the composite membrane had good inhibitory effects against the biofilm formation of S. aureus and MASR . It was found that when the reaction time was more than 6 h, the separation efficiencies of oil-in-water emulsions were more than 99%, and the bacterial inhibition ratios against S. aureus and E. coli . and biofilm inhibition ratios against S. aureus and MASR were more than 90%. When separating the emulsion containing bacteria, the composite membrane can simultaneously purify the emulsion and kill the bacteria in the water. Overall, ZIF-67 plays key roles in both emulsion separation and bacterial resistance, and the ZIF-67 composite membrane shows a promising potential in oil-water emulsion separation application.

Lithium–sulfur batteries (LSBs) have attracted wide attention, but the shuttle effect of polysulfide hinders their further practical application. Herein, we develop a new strategy to construct a Ketjen black@zeolite imidazole framework-8/polypropylene composite separator. Such a separator consists of Ketjen black (KB), zeolite imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8) and polypropylene (PP) with a low coating load of 0.06 mg cm−2and is denoted as KB@ZIF-8/PP. KB@ZIF-8/PP can absorb polysulfides because of the Lewis acid-base interaction between ZIF-8 and polysulfides. This interaction can reduce the dissolution of polysulfides and suppress the shuttle effect, thereby enhancing the electrochemical performance of the battery. When tested at a current density of 0.1 C, an LSB with a KB@ZIF-8/PP separator exhibits low polarization and achieves a high initial capacity of 1235.6 mAh/g and a high capacity retention rate of 59.27% after 100 cycles.Keywords:lithium–sulfur battery;separator;shuttle effect;metal-organic framework;chemisorption

Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) crystals were obtained by an electric current-assisted synthesis method with stoichiometric Zn 2+ and 2-methylimidazole precursors. The resulting ZIF-8-CS2 shows enhanced CO 2 adsorption performance (31.2 cm 3 /g) with CO 2 /N 2 selectivity of 9 at 273 K, while ZIF-8 prepared without electric current assistance shows CO 2 adsorption of 18.4 cm 3 /g and CO 2 /N 2 selectivity of 5. The increased CO 2 adsorption ability is ascribed to the high specific surface area and total pore volume of ZIF-8-CS2.

Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) filled with dispersed nanoparticles may not favor all requirements for high separation performances due to the discontinuity in molecular permeation pathways. Here, we reported polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) based MMMs by incorporating one-dimensional (1D) ZIF-8 tubes for the pervaporation (PV) recovery of ethyl acetate (EtOAc) from its diluted aqueous solution. The 1D ZIF-8 is a tubular structure formed by the ZIF-8 crystal particles inlaying each other, some windows between the ZIF-8 crystal particles are seamlessly connected, so that the cavities of the ZIF-8 are connected through the windows. The ZIF-8 tubes not merely possess microporous and molecular sieving properties, but also are inherently continuous in the integral morphology. The morphological continuity renders docking micropores along the tube body, which can act as efficient molecular permselective pathways for EtOAc molecules. Both the short and long-sized ZIF-8 tubes (STZIF-8 and LTZIF-8) played greater roles in facilitating PV performances than that of dispersed nanoparticles. Importantly, the most remarkable effect of the LTZIF-8 on separation performance was obtained since their micron-sized continuous structure, connected cavities and lumen, is more conductive to the separation process. The MMMs with 8% loading of the LTZIF-8 exhibited superior separation factor of 591.9 and EtOAc flux of 0.82 kg·m −2 ·h −1 for separating 1 wt% feed solution at 30 °C, which are 3.11 and 3.45 times of that of PDMS membrane, respectively. This study may give inspiration for developing high-performance MMMs by incorporating such morphologically continuous, microstructurally porous and molecular sieving fillers as permselective pathways for guest molecules.

Solar-driven CO 2 reduction by CH 4 is promising to simultaneously tackle energy shortage and global warming problems by converting two greenhouse gases into fuels. However, serious challenges remain, such as limited light-to-fuel efficiency, high operating temperature, and severe catalyst deactivation. Here, high-performance direct solar-driven CO 2 reduction is demonstrated at relatively low operation temperature (594 °C) based on NiCo-ZIF derived nanostructures. An ultrahigh light-to-fuel efficiency of 32.4% and production rates of H 2 (105.83 min −1 g −1 ) and CO (128.17 mmol min −1 g −1 ) are achieved via photothermocatalysis on Ni 1 Co 2 @C ZIF -Al 2 O 3 catalysts. Excellent light-to-fuel conversion performance can be attributed to the highly dispersed metal particles, decreased apparent activation energy under direct light illumination, increased CO 2 absorption, and promoted dissociation of CH 4 to CH 3 * of NiCo alloy. The carbon deposition rate of NiCo bimetallic catalysts is prominently inhibited compared with pure Ni or Co catalysts due to the change of the reaction path, as confirmed by DFT calculations. This work opens new routes to achieve highly efficient solar-driven CO 2 reduction by CH 4 based on NiCo-ZIF derived alloy nanostructures at relatively low-temperature conditions.

The present study eliminated nonselective defects by amending the MOF-based mixed matrix membrane (MMM) interface with (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES) via Schiff’s base reaction. This modification on the ZIF-90 nanoparticle surfaces enhanced the polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) matrix interaction in the MMMs. Interfacial defects were then minimized through APTES-ZIF-90 nanoparticle surface alkoxy and PDMS chain hydroxyl group cross-linking. Enhanced chemical interactions between the nanoparticles and the polymeric matrix in the APTES-ZIF-90/PDMS MMMs resulted in higher interface compatibility and separation performance than the ZIF-90 nanoparticle MMMs, which ultimately improved its ethanol affinity and hydrophobicity. When the load of APTES-ZIF-90 nanoparticles was 15% and the temperature was 40 °C, the pervaporation performance of APTES-ZIF-90/PDMS MMMs was optimal, the separation factor was 16.8, and the permeation flux was 223 g/(m2·h). Compared with pure PDMS, the separation factor and permeation flux increased by 91 and 67%, respectively. In addition, stable APTES-ZIF-90/PDMS MMM pervaporation performance was observed after an optimal operation time of 120 h. Overall, the present work presented methods to optimize MOF-based MMMs for enhanced interface morphology and separation performance for ethanol recovery.

In this study, a novel strategy is developed for the first time, referred to as high-concentration cobalt ion-assisted hydration (HCCAH) utilizing zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) as a precursor, to produce independent and flat α-cobalt hydroxide nanosheets (CHN). These nanosheets offer abundant contact sites for binding with virus surface proteins. The formation of CHN involves the in situ transformation from ZIF-67, due to the matching of the hydrolysis rate of ZIF-67 and in situ growth rate of cobalt hydroxide orchestrated by high concentration of cobalt ions. Notably, the CHN contains a higher proportion of trivalent cobalt, which is shown to enhance the binding with the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Spike protein and induce protein structural denaturation, as demonstrated by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Antiviral experiments using pseudovirus and authentic viruses have confirmed the promising antiviral performance of CHN. Furthermore, both in vitro and in vivo experiments have demonstrated the excellent biocompatibility of CHN. This research opens up new possibilities for the application of cobalt hydroxide nanosheets and serves as a valuable reference for the design of antiviral nanomaterials.

Because anthrax spores are highly lethal to humans and animals as well as potential biological warfare agents, there is a great need for rapid, sensitive, and selective quantification of dipicolinic acid (DPA) as a biomarker for anthrax spores. Herein, we prepared a novel lanthanide-doped nanoprobe by coordination of Tb3+ ions with tannic acid (TA)-coated zeolitic imidazolate frameworks-8 (ZIF-8) (ZIF-8@Tb–TA). The proposed assay was derived from the unsaturated coordination of Tb3+ ions. In the presence of DPA, Tb3+ ions could be sensitized to emit inherent luminescence due to the energy transfer after coordination with DPA. The results illustrated that ZIF-8@Tb–TA could be used as a sensitive nanoprobe for detecting DPA with a broad linear range (0 μM to 12.0 μM), and the limit of detection (LOD) was 12.3 nM. Moreover, the specific recognition ability of DPA by ZIF-8@Tb–TA was much better than that of other interfering molecules. This study proposed a new strategy to establish lanthanide-functionalized nanoprobes for highly selective and sensitive detection of DPA.

Combined NVP grafting and MMT@ZIF-8@TA modification raised pure water flux to 836.84 L·m⁻²·h⁻¹, ~6.8× of pristine PLA membrane. • The membrane retained over 95% rejection for four cationic/anionic dyes, realizing charge-selective adsorption (98% MeB removal, 99% AO removal). • PZ4 membrane removed 78.59% methylene blue under UV in 150 min; its rate constant (0.00995 min⁻¹) was ~110 times the blank group. • Superoxide (•O₂⁻) and hydroxyl (•OH) radicals were verified as the main active species during photocatalytic degradation. Rapid industrialization and urbanization have exacerbated water scarcity and pollution. Traditional polymer membranes are non‑renewable and non‑biodegradable. Polylactic acid (PLA) is a biodegradable and renewable alternative, but its hydrophobicity and lack of functional groups restrict its direct application in water purification. To address these limitations, we grafted N‑vinylpyrrolidone (NVP) onto PLA chains via free‑radical polymerization to obtain PLA‑g‑PVP with enhanced hydrophilicity. Zeolitic imidazolate framework‑8 (ZIF‑8) was grown in situ on montmorillonite (MMT) and coated with tannic acid (TA) to obtain MMT@ZIF‑8@TA nanoparticles, which synergistically improve membrane porosity, adsorption capacity, and photocatalytic activity. A series of PLA‑g‑PVP/MMT@ZIF‑8@TA (PZ) membranes were fabricated by non‑solvent induced phase separation. The PZ4 membrane exhibited a pure water flux of 836.84 L·m⁻²·h⁻¹ , approximately 6.8 times that of pristine PLA, and achieved over 95% rejection for four representative dyes, including both cationic (auramine O, methylene blue) and anionic (congo red, methyl blue) dyes. After five cycles, the flux recovery rate remained 81.03% with dye rejection > 90%, showing excellent reusability. The PZ membranes also demonstrated adsorption and photocatalytic activity. The PZ4 membrane degraded 78.59% of methylene blue within 150 min under UV irradiation, attributed to efficient separation of photogenerated electron‑hole pairs and synergistic oxidation by hydroxyl (·OH) and superoxide (·O 2 ⁻) radicals, leading to dye mineralization. This eco‑friendly membrane integrates high separation efficiency, which shows great potential for the purification of dye-containing wastewater, and sheds light on the design of multifunctional composite filtration membranes.
