Contamination of food with heavy metal ions and nitrites poses a serious threat to human health. Consequently, the development of fast and sensitive platforms for detecting these contaminants is urgently required. In this paper, a novel MnMgFe-LDHs/DC sensor is constructed based on a simple strategy, in which MnMgFe layered double hydroxide (LDHs) is used as a metal precursor, and a unique "island bridge" carbon network structure is generated by its pyrolysis with ZIF-8@B, N-WMCNTs. The electrical conductivity was enhanced, and a large electroactive surface area was provided for the MnMgFe-LDHs/DC. The electrochemical properties of Pb 2+ , Cd 2+ and nitrite were investigated using this electrode as a working electrode. Under optimized conditions, the sensing platform exhibited a wide linear range with the Pb 2+ , Cd 2+ , and NO 2 − limits of detection of 46.16 nM, 59.25 nM, and 0.083 μM, respectively. Of particular note is that this sensing platform exhibits outstanding anti-interference capabilities. It can precisely and efficiently conduct the detection of nitrite and heavy metal ions in pickled foods.

pH-sensitive carriers have emerged as an optimal choice for the oral administration of anticancer drugs, exhibiting the desired release performance. This study aims to develop biocomposite beads for the sustained release of the anticancer drug 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). Here, 5-FU was encapsulated within a ZIF-8 metal-organic framework (MOF), which was subsequently impregnated into amino-chitosan beads. The resulting Am-CS@ZIF-8 biocomposite beads were characterized for their chemical structure, surface morphology, elemental composition, crystallinity, surface charges, and mechanical properties utilizing Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), zeta potential analysis, and a texture analyzer, respectively. The developed beads exhibited a textured surface, denser composition, and a positively charged surface with a maximum zeta potential of +12.4 at pH 7.4. In comparison to Am-CS beads, the Am-CS@ZIF-8 biocomposite beads demonstrated superior mechanical properties, achieving a maximum stress value of 5.668 MPa compared to the 1.874 MPa recorded for pure Am-CS beads. pH sensitivity was assessed through the investigation of water uptake behavior at pH 1.2 and pH 7.4. The Am-CS@ZIF-8 biocomposite beads demonstrated a high encapsulation efficiency of approximately 81.6 % for 5-FU. They exhibited pH-responsive release behavior, with only 17 % of the drug released at pH 1.2 after 2 h and a sustained release of 52 % at pH 7.4 over 24 h. The release mechanism was predominantly governed by Fickian diffusion, as closely fitted by the Peppas-Sahlin kinetic model. The formulated carrier confirmed its biodegradability under enzymatic physiological conditions, suggesting its potential applicability as an effective system for the oral delivery of anticancer drugs.

In this paper, a sensitive and selective electrochemical sensor was constructed for nickel (II) detection by employing the electrode material of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8@dimethylglyoxime/β-cyclodextrin/reduced graphene oxide (ZIF-8@DMG/β-CD/RGO). The material was characterized and analyzed by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms in detail. In these composite, ZIF-8 served as the supporting material of DMG which was the selective complexing agent to Ni (II), RGO employed conductivity while β-CD prevented the aggregation of RGO sheets. With these features, the sensor showed a wide linear range of 0.01–1.0 μM and a low detection limit of 0.005 μM (S/N = 3). Interferences of diethanol, citric acid , humic acid, Triton X-100 and some common metal ions can be ignored to some extent. Finally, the sensor was applied to Ni (II) detection in real water sample.

Highly hydrogen-permselective zeolitic imidazolate framework ZIF-8 membranes are prepared on coarse and macroporous Al 2 O 3 tubes through a repeated synthesis strategy for the separation of H 2 /CO 2, H 2 /CH 4 , and H 2 /C 3 H 8 mixtures. Since the amino-groups of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) can coordinate to the free Zn 2+ centers and thus bind the growing nano-crystals directly, the nucleation and growth of well intergrown ZIF-8 membranes could be promoted through a repeated synthesis of the ZIF-8 layer on APTES-modified macroporous Al 2 O 3 tubes. The SEM and XRD characterizations indicate that a dense and phase-pure ZIF-8 membrane with a thickness of about 25.0 μm can be formed on the alumina tubes by microwave synthesis at 105 °C for 3 h, and no cracks, pinholes or other defects were observed in the membrane layer. The ZIF-8 membranes were evaluated in single gas permeation and mixed gas separation. Attributed to the preferential adsorption affinity and capacity as well as a highly porous structure with nano-sized channels, the ZIF-8 membrane displays a high hydrogen permselectivity. For the separation of equimolar H 2 /CO 2 , H 2 /CH 4 , H 2 /C 3 H 8 mixtures at 100 °C and 2 bar, the mixture separation factors of H 2 /CO 2 , H 2 /CH 4 , and H 2 /C 3 H 8 are 5.6, 44.0, 328.6, with a H 2 permeance of about 1.1 × 10 −7 mol m −2 s −1 Pa −1 , which is promising for potential applications in hydrogen purification and separation.

A novel strategy to fabricate thin film nanocomposite (TFN) membrane was reported by dispersing nanofillers in the aqueous and organic phase simultaneously via interfacial polymerization of m-phenylenediamine and trimesoyl chloride. Two different nanofillers (hydrophilic MCM-48 and hydrophobic ZIF-8) were used to investigate the new strategy. Both hydrophilic MCM-48 and hydrophobic ZIF-8 can effectively improve the separation performance of the TFN membrane with higher water flux value maintaining high salt rejection via the novel strategy than conventional TFN membrane prepared with same total amount nanoparticles in singly organic phase or aqueous phase. It indicates that the new strategy is feasible to obtain the TFN membrane with excellence separation performance compared with the conventional method by dispersing nanofillers in singly phase. The new strategy is realized by dispersing less amount nanofillers in both phases simultaneously, which is possible to avoid the aggregation of nanoparticles and maximize the effect of nanoparticles.

A novel near-infrared luminescent fluorescent composite material, TCPP-His@ZIF-8, was successfully constructed. Through an amide condensation reaction, Tetrakis (4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin (TCPP) was covalently anchored onto the surface of L-histidine (His) -modified ZIF-8 metal-organic framework. This material serves as a highly sensitive near-infrared fluorescence sensing platform. Upon introducing mitoxantrone (MITX) as a fluorescence quencher, the material achieves highly selective and sensitive fluorescence detection of MITX. Mechanistic studies revealed that the fluorescence quenching of TCPP-His@ZIF-8 by MITX involves multiple mechanisms: the shift in absorption peaks confirms the presence of static quenching, while FRET is the primary mechanism responsible for the shortening of fluorescence lifetime, i.e., the dynamic quenching process. The inner filter effect (IFE) contributes partially to the reduction in apparent fluorescence intensity but is not the dominant factor. Under optimal experimental conditions, the sensor exhibits good linearity for MITX detection within the range of 0.125–14.0 μM, with a detection limit as low as 91.93 nM. Anti-interference and selectivity experiments demonstrated that common interferents and antibiotic analogues did not significantly affect detection. Furthermore, spiked recovery experiments in real samples such as tap water, milk, and human serum yielded satisfactory results, validating the reliability and potential of this method for practical applications.

The excellent catalytic performance of noble metal nanoparticles (NMNPs) is often hampered by their tendency to agglomerate and poor recyclability, which significantly limits their large-scale industrial use. To address these challenges, anchoring NMNPs onto porous supports has been proposed as an effective strategy, as it not only suppresses their migration and agglomeration but also enhances their catalytic stability and recyclability through strong metal–support interactions. In this study, novel poly (glycidyl methacrylate) @ZIF-8@Au (PGMA@ZIF-8@Au) composite microspheres were fabricated via three steps: gigaporous PGMA microspheres were first prepared via suspension polymerization, followed by the in-situ growth and subsequent etching of ZIF-8 on their surface, and finally, the confined loading of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with three different sizes. This designed structure effectively mitigates issues such as nanoparticle aggregation, detachment, and mass transfer limitations. The hierarchical pores of the PGMA microspheres provide a high specific surface area and abundant active sites, while the rich epoxy rings create an electron-rich environment that facilitates electron transfer to the AuNPs. Moreover, ZIF-8 improves the structural stability and biocompatibility of the composite microspheres and promotes the uniform dispersion of AuNPs. The resulting catalyst achieved 100 % degradation of p-nitrophenol (PNP) within 20 min and maintained a conversion of 84.8 % after ten consecutive cycles. Based on the synergistic effects between the composite and the AuNPs, a plausible catalytic mechanism was proposed. This work offers a promising strategy for designing highly efficient catalysts for environmental remediation.

To overcome the challenges of particle agglomeration and insufficient stability of ZIF-8 under high-temperature and high-humidity conditions during CO 2 capture, this study developed a ZIF-8/urea-modified graphene oxide (GO) composite and systematically investigated its microstructure, CO 2 adsorption and separation performance, and stability. The results demonstrate that urea-modified GO is uniformly dispersed within the ZIF-8 in a highly exfoliated state and enables the formation of a microporous-mesoporous hierarchical pore structure through synergistic interaction. At 273 K and 101 kPa, the composite achieves a CO 2 adsorption capacity of 2.36 mmol/g and a CO 2 /N 2 selectivity of 24.6, showing 40.5% and 62.9% enhancements compared with pristine ZIF-8. Due to the synergistic effect between urea-modified GO and ZIF-8, the composite exhibits notable improvements in thermal, adsorption-desorption cycling, and moisture stability. This work provides both experimental data and theoretical insights for the rational design of high-performance adsorbents tailored to practical flue gas CO 2 capture applications.

Heavy metal ion pollution in wastewater, particularly Cu 2+ contamination, threatens ecology and human health, demanding efficient adsorption materials in environmental remediation. However, conventional adsorbents suffer from insufficient capacity, poor mechanical stability, weak selectivity, and low reusability, restricting their practical application. Herein, a semi-interpenetrating network composite hydrogel (ZIF-8-AVA) was fabricated via in situ self-assembly, integrating ZIF-8 nanocrystals into a poly(acrylamide- co -vinylimidazole)/sodium alginate (AVA) matrix. Vinylimidazole units served as nucleation anchors, firmly immobilizing ZIF-8 on the polymer backbone via metal-ligand coordination to form a stable system. ZIF-8 significantly enhanced AVA's mechanical properties and Cu 2+ adsorption performance: the composite followed the Langmuir monolayer adsorption model with a maximum adsorption capacity of 355.9 mg/g, achieving 93.81% Cu 2+ removal efficiency at an initial concentration of 50 mg/L. Furthermore, the ZIF-8-AVA hydrogel exhibited excellent selectivity for Cu 2+ in multi-competing-ion systems and maintained high adsorption efficiency after 5 consecutive adsorption-desorption cycles. The key innovation lies in the in situ self-assembly strategy that realizes the intimate integration of ZIF-8 with the hydrogel matrix via coordination-driven anchoring, overcoming the common issue of MOF particle leaching and synergistically enhancing adsorption capacity, selectivity, and mechanical stability. This work offers a novel approach for tunable MOF hydrogels, with great potential in heavy metal wastewater treatment.

The increasing release of antimony (Sb) into water environments due to anthropogenic activities poses significant ecological risks. This study developed a novel hybrid material, zeolitic imidazolate framework-8-iron nanoparticles (ZIF-8-Fe NPs), which demonstrates a synergistic adsorption-oxidation mechanism for efficient removal of Sb(III) from aqueous solutions. Major findings reveal that at an initial Sb(III) concentration of 1 mg L-1, ZIF-8-Fe NPs achieved a 73.3% removal efficiency within three hours through the dual processes of direct adsorption and oxidation of Sb(III) to Sb(V). Scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectrometry (SEM-EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed that the removal mechanism involved both direct adsorption of Sb(III) by ZIF-8-Fe NPs and oxidation of Sb(III) to Sb(V), with two distinct morphologies of Sb adsorbed on the surface. The formation of covalent bonds (Zn-OH-Sb and Fe-O-Sb) was identified as the key factor in removing both Sb(III) and Sb(V) from aqueous solutions. The adsorption process conformed to the Langmuir adsorption isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetics, with correlation coefficients (R²) of 0.959 and 0.999, respectively. The proposed mechanism suggests that the formation of Zn-OH-Sb and Fe-O-Sb covalent bonds plays a crucial role in Sb(III) removal. Significantly, ZIF-8-Fe NPs achieved removal efficiencies of 91.5% and 94.8% for Sb(III) at environmentally relevant concentrations of 100 µg L-1 and 20 µg L-1, in actual mining wastewater, demonstrating its practical applicability. This study establishes that ZIF-8-Fe NPs constitute an effective nanomaterial with significant potential for Sb(III) remediation in wastewater.

The crystallization behavior of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) confined within a hierarchical macro-microporous ZIF-8 (SOM-ZIF-8) framework and its impact on thermal decomposition are systematically investigated. TNT is incorporated into the porous host via evaporative crystallization, resulting in composites with varying TNT loadings. The well-defined macropores serve as templates for the confined growth of TNT nanospheres, while the intrinsic micropores are expected to facilitate the adsorption of key decomposition intermediates, potentially promoting autocatalytic decomposition pathways. XPS analysis reveals a negative shift of Zn 2p peaks and a positive shift of the –NO2 N 1s peak, indicating electron transfer from the nitro groups to the Zn2+ centers─an interfacial interaction further supported by the blue shift of –NO2 vibrations in FTIR. This confined crystallization dramatically alters the thermal decomposition behavior: the peak decomposition temperature decreases from 320 °C for pristine TNT to as low as 180 °C for the composite, and the apparent activation energy is reduced from 131.6 kJ·mol–1 to 75.1 kJ·mol–1. Combustion tests reveal significantly enhanced flame intensity and a maximum temperature increase from 889.5 to 1216.0 °C. The optimal loading (TNT: SOM-ZIF-8 = 5:1 by mass) achieves a balance between microporous catalysis and macroporous nanoconfinement, leading to the most efficient energy release. This work demonstrates that confined crystallization within hierarchically porous MOFs is an effective crystal-engineering strategy to tailor the thermal decomposition kinetics of conventional explosives, offering new insights into structure–property relationships in energetic materials.

A multifunctional composite, designated as ZIF-8@LY/ZIF-8@CDs-Eu 3+ , was rationally designed as a fluorescence probe and high-performance photocatalyst for simultaneous detection and degradation of oxytetracycline (OTC). To address the critical challenge of co-encapsulating fluorescein (LY) and Eu 3+ -functionalized carbon dots (CDs-Eu 3+ ) within a single porous particle without functional incompatibility, we proposed a core-shell ZIF-8 architecture, where the etched ZIF-8 core served as the host for LY loading, and the in situ grown ZIF-8 shell was introduced to immobilize CDs-Eu 3+ . The acetic acid etching of the ZIF-8 core created abundant sites to absorb more LY molecules, which further enhanced the OTC removal efficiency. On this basis, a fluorescence “turn-on” ratiometric quantitative detection platform for OTC was established, with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 1.8 nM. Meanwhile, the ZIF-8@LY/ZIF-8@CDs-Eu 3+ composite achieved 99% OTC removal within 300 min under light irradiation, driven by the generated reactive species including superoxide radicals (·O 2 − ), hydroxyl radicals (·OH), and photogenerated holes (h + ). Notably, three parallel degradation pathways of OTC were identified via high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS). This work not only provides an innovative strategy for the design of multifunctional MOF-based composites, but also opens a new avenue for the efficient monitoring and elimination of antibiotic residues in complex environmental matrices.
