Sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6 ) is widely utilized as an insulating gas in power systems because of its outstanding dielectric insulation and arc-quenching properties, which presents significant value and necessity for recycling from both environmental impact and economic benefit. However, conventional thermally driven methods for SF 6 recovery suffer from high energy consumption, urgently necessitating the development of alternative separation techniques that operate under ambient conditions and reduce energy consumption. Herein, a stiffer EZIF-8 is employed as fillers in mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) for efficient SF 6 recovery. EZIF-8 is synthesized under an electric field, which is mainly composed of ZIF-8_ Cm phase. The fabricated MMMs exhibit an excellent N 2 /SF 6 selectivity of 182 with N 2 permeability of 278 Barrer, showing an 18-fold improvement in selectivity compared to that of the pure polymer membranes. Importantly, for both typical insulation gas mixture (70 % N 2 /30 % SF 6 ) commonly used in gas insulated switchgear and 100 h long-term operation, the MMMs are able to maintain steady operation with a relatively high N 2 permeability and N 2 /SF 6 selectivity, demonstrating the promising potential for the efficient recovery of SF 6 especially at low concentrations.

In order to better disperse zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) in aqueous solution for thin film nanocomposite (TFN) membrane fabrication, hydrophilic ZIF-8 was prepared by polydopamine modification. After the interfacial polymerization (IP) reaction, PDA-ZIF-8 nanoparticles were evenly entrapped in the polyamide (PA) matrix. The as-obtained PA layer demonstrated better hydrophilicity, higher surface roughness, and less cross-linking degree. Therefore, the water permeability increased by 66 % compared to the thin film composite (TFC) membrane without nanofillers. Moreover, due to the improved compatibility of PDA-ZIF-8 as well as the stronger negatively charged membrane surface, the retention of SO 4 2− was slightly enhanced, and the retention of rhodamine B was well maintained. The hydrophilic modification of ZIF-8 by PDA was a facile method to improve its compatibility with the PA polymer, and the resultant TFN membrane demonstrated elevated water permeability without compromising its selectivity.

Food spoilage caused by microbial contamination remains a global challenge, driving demand for sustainable antibacterial packaging. Conventional photocatalytic materials suffer from limited spectral response, rapid charge recombination, and insufficient reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation under visible light. Here, a Z-scheme heterojunction was constructed by coupling zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) with Ag 3 PO 4 , achieving dual-spectral absorption and spatial charge separation. The directional electron transfer from Ag 3 PO 4 ’s conduction band to ZIF-8 effectively suppresses electron-hole recombination, prolonging carrier lifetimes and amplifying ROS production (·O 2 − /·OH). Synergy with Ag + release further enhances bactericidal efficacy. Incorporated into a cellulose acetate matrix (CAM), the ZIF-8/Ag 3 PO 4 /CAM film demonstrates 99.06% antibacterial efficiency against meat surface microbiota under simulated sunlight, alongside high transparency. This study proposes a Z-scheme heterojunction strategy to maximize ROS generation efficiency and demonstrates a scalable fabrication approach for active food packaging materials, effectively targeting microbial contamination control and shelf-life prolongation.

Graphical A binder-free electrode was constructed by decorating MnO 2 nanoflowers onto the hybrid material of ZIF-8/ZnO, as derived from ZIF-8 via pyrolysis. Both the composite electrode and the NF/ZIF-8-ZnO/MnO 2 //activated carbon (AC) asymmetric supercapacitor demonstrate excellent electrochemical performance, showing that NF/ZIF-8-ZnO/MnO 2 is a promising candidate for supercapacitors due to the synergistic contribution of ZIF-8, ZnO and MnO 2 . In this study, ZIF-8 (Zn(MeIn) 2 , MeIn=2-methylimidazole) was synthesized directly on Ni foam with the use of polydopamine (PDA). By following a hydrothermal process, MnO 2 nanoflowers were decorated on the hybrid material of ZIF-8/ZnO, as derived from ZIF-8 via pyrolysis at 500 °C under nitrogen flow. The produced binder-free electrode (NF/ZIF-8-ZnO/MnO 2 ) demonstrated an excellent electrochemical performance for supercapacitors, including a specific capacitance of 2005 F g −1 at 2 A g −1 and a fairly high cycling stability (90.74% retention after 4000 cycles). Furthermore, a NF/ZIF-8-ZnO/MnO 2 //activated carbon (AC) asymmetric supercapacitor showed an energy density of 70.57 Wh kg −1 given a power density of 112.45 kW kg −1 . These results demonstrate that NF/ZIF-8-ZnO/MnO 2 is a promising candidate for supercapacitors due to the synergistic contribution of ZIF-8, ZnO and MnO 2 .

Zeolitic imidazolate framworks-8 (ZIF-8) and two-dimensional black phosphorus (BP) are frequently studied for their outstanding properties and wide applications. Therefore, integrating these two components into hybrid nanocomposites is conceivable to build a hybrid nanomaterial with enhanced or even new properties. In this paper, a novel hybrid nanocomposite of ZIF-8 with few-layer two-dimensional (FL-BP) (ZIF-8/BP) is prepared for the first time. The obtained ZIF-8/BP hybrid composites are composed of ZIF-8 nanoparticles uniformly distributed over the whole BP nanosheets. The in situ growth of ZIF-8 is attributed to FL-BP functionalized with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), whose pyrrolidone rings (CO) enhance the affinity between Zn ions and FL-BP, and in turn facilitate ZIF-8 in situ growth on the surface of BP. Furthermore, the obtained ZIF-8/BP hybrid nanocomposites demonstrate enhanced photocatalytic performance, for the highly efficient charge separation and transfer during photocatalytic reactions.

As one of the green, renewable, and clean energy resources, hydrogen is widely developed and utilized throughout the world. Highly efficient membrane separation for hydrogen production is required to give promising gas permeance with enough H 2 selectivity. The membranes are desired to be produced in large-scale, fast and facile methods. Here we report for the first time a kind of freestanding MXene-ZIF-8 dual-layered membrane for hydrogen separation. Fast synthesis of such membranes is realized by combining electrophoretic deposition (EPD) and fast current-driven synthesis (FCDS), achieving the assemble of MXene layer and growth of ZIF-8 layer, respectively, overcoming the traditional time-consuming vacuum filtration methods and solvothermal synthesis . The MXene-ZIF-8 dual-layered membrane prepared within 20 min exhibits significantly improved gas separation performance, whose H 2 /CO 2 selectivity increases from 44 for the pristine MXene membrane to 77 with H 2 permeance of 5.97 × 10 −8 mol m −2 s −1 Pa −1 . This concept of structure design of membrane can also be extended to other dual-layered membranes, including various 2D nanosheet layers combined with different MOF layers.

Many wastewaters commonly contain complex mixtures of both antibiotics and heavy metals, where the simultaneous removal of these mixed contaminants is still a challenge. In this paper, ZIF-8, a metal-organic framework material, was proposed as a potential absorbent to simultaneously remove norfloxacin and copper from wastewater. Batch adsorption experiments showed that ZIF-8 could simultaneously remove 95.4% of Cu and 80.3% of norfloxacin. ZIF-8 was characterized before and after the removal of the mixed contaminants. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) showed that ZIF-8 was synthesized successfully and maintained a stable structure after contaminant adsorption. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) both suggested that contaminants were partially adsorbed on the surface of ZIF-8. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) also indicated the presence of both carboxyl and Cu on the ZIF-8 surface confirming that a mixture of contaminants was adsorbed. For both contaminants, adsorption followed pseudo-second-order kinetics and best fit the Freundlich adsorption model with correlation coefficients (R 2 ) of 0.973 and 0.994, for copper and norfloxacin, respectively. Finally, removal mechanisms for copper and norfloxacin by ZIF-8 were proposed. For Cu, the adsorption process on ZIF-8 was mainly due to ion exchange, whereas electrostatic interactions and π-π stacking may be responsible for norfloxacin adsorption. Overall this study demonstrated that ZIF-8 was a promising material for the treatment of wastewater containing mixtures of organic and metallic contaminants.

Triethylamine , as a typical gas of volatile organic compounds, is a growing threat to human health due to its extensive applications in industry. In this study, ZIF-8 derived ZnO polyhedrons are decorated by CsPbBr 3 quantum dots via electrostatic adsorption. Then a highly sensitive sensor towards triethylamine based on ZnO-CsPbBr 3 composite is successfully fabricated. Compared with sensors based on pristine ZnO and ZnO (nanoparticles)-CsPbBr 3 , ZnO-CsPbBr 3 displays a higher response value (~ 60 towards 100 ppm of TEA), shorter response/recovery time (2/18 s), and lower detection limit (5 ppb). Thus, highly-sensitive detection and efficiently-catalytic oxidation of trimethylamine can be achieved. Such distinguished performance can be ascribed to its unique architecture and n-n heterojunction . Notably, the sensing mechanism is thoroughly interpreted by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, temperature programmed desorption of O 2 and in-situ diffuse scattering Fourier transform infrared spectra.

The loosening of implant due to bacterial infection brings great difficulties to the implantation of bionic titanium devices. In this study, the Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework 8 (ZIF-8) and silver ions were added to the surface of titanium alloy to obtain a uniform coating, which has nice biological activity and antibacterial property. The material structure characterizations, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), proved that titanium is successfully modified with ZIF-8 and silver ions. It has micro- and nano-level characteristics, rough porous morphology, and excellent apatite inducing ability. The water contact angle experiment shows that the addition of ZIF-8 greatly increases the hydrophilicity of material, which provides conditions for the attachment of osteoblasts. The polarization curve obtained from the electrochemical test proves that the addition of ZIF-8 coating improves the corrosion resistance of titanium. The release of silver ion has a strong growth inhibitory effect on E. coli , and exhibits excellent antibacterial properties. Therefore, the preparation of ZIF-8/Ag coatings on 3D printed titanium provides a new option for the development of orthopedic implants.

Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) combine the advantages of both polymers and inorganic fillers, and hold great promise for industrial gas separation. In this work, to enhance the interfacial compatibility between cellulose acetate (CA) matrix and ZIF-8 crystals, an interfacial design strategy was proposed by grafting polyethylenimine (PEI) onto ZIF-8 particles. The introduction of amine-rich PEI could regulate the surface property and maintain the pore accessibility of ZIF-8 crystals. In addition, the amine groups in PEI could interact with hydroxyl/carbonyl groups in CA chains to suppress the non-ideal voids at the ZIF-8/CA interface. With the aid of PEI, the interfacial compatibility between ZIF-8 and CA is substantially enhanced. Compared with pristine CA and ZIF-8@CA membranes, PEI grafted ZIF-8@CA (PZIF-8@CA) membrane exhibits a better gas separation performance, bearing a CO 2 permeability of 150.3 Barrer with CO 2 /N 2 and CO 2 /CH 4 ideal selectivities of 44.2 and 53.7, respectively. The separation mechanisms are attributed to the superior interfacial property , the good dispersion of ZIF-8 particles, the amine groups in PEI, and the high CO 2 solubility of the CA matrix.

We develop a facile method to fabricate yolk/shell and multi-yolk/shell ZIF-8/alginate hybrid microcapsules by first forming yolk/shell W/O ZIF-8 Pickering emulsions containing sodium alginate in water, followed by sodification of alginate to form the hybrid shell. Polymerization induced phase separation of a polyethylene glycol aqueous and acrylamide aqueous solution is used to form the yolk, and droplet coalescence is used to form multi-yolks. We examine the preparation conditions to obtain a stable ZIF-8 W/O Pickering emulsion. Further, these ZIF-8 Pickering emulsions can be converted to ZIF-8/alginate hybrid microcapsules with both hollow and yolk/shell structures by adding small amount of sodium alginate in the PEG solution, based on our finding that ZIF-8 can gelate sodium alginate. The ZIF-8/alginate hybrid microcapsules exhibit controlled release ability for Rhodamine B, with the yolk/shell one showing a lower dye release percentage. Furthermore, the release rate can be accelerated in an acid condition, resulting from the dissolution of ZIF-8.

Chloride-induced corrosion of steel reinforcement is the key factor leading to the degradation of reinforced concrete building durability. Improving the corrosion resistance of oxide scale of rebar has always been a research hotspot in the field of civil engineering materials. A ZIF-8 modified Ce–Sol–gel (ZCS) film was prepared on oxide scale of plain steel rebars by sol–gel method. It is observed that the | Z | 0.01 Hz value of the ZCS film reached 320 kΩ cm 2 , which is about 29 times higher than that of blank rebar in simulated concrete pore (SCP) solution with 0.1 M NaCl. Then, they were inserted into mortar block and curing them in a curing box at T = 20 ± 2 °C and RH = 95 ± 2% for 28 days. Subsequently, these samples were subject to electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in 3.5 wt% NaCl. The | Z | 0.01 Hz value of the rebar with the ZCS film was six times higher than that of the blank rebar after immersing for 20 days, resulting in an overall increase in corrosion resistance for rebar. The results indicated that the modification by ZIF-8 could reduce the porosity of Ce–sol–gel (CS) film and improved the “labyrinth effect” of the film. Additionally, the negative charge on the surface of ZIF-8 in alkaline condition increased the repulsion effect with Cl − , significantly reducing the sensitivity of rebar to Cl − .
