A new adsorbent was successfully fabricated by chemically linking pyromellitic acid onto a zirconium-based metal-organic framework composite for selective adsorption of Pd(II) from an aqueous solution. The adsorbent was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller equation and scanning electron microscope. The adsorption capacity, selectivity and repeatability of the adsorbent were tested by batch experiments. The optimum pH was 2.0, and the maximum adsorption capacity at room temperature was 226.1 mg/g. In the kinetic experiments, the adsorption process achieved equilibrium within 5 h and generally conformed to the quasi-second kinetics and Freundlich isotherm model. The N-H and O H groups on the adsorbent interacted with Pd(II) by electrostatic and coordination action. The adsorbent maintained excellent adsorption capacity after at least 5 cycles. At the same time, the selectivity of the adsorbent in aqueous solution is excellent from interfering ions. Therefore, the new adsorbent will have an obvious application prospect on the recovery of palladium.

Novel CdS/UiO-66-NH 2 heterojunction photocatalysts have been successfully fabricated via facile water bath deposition. Compared with the traditional preparation technology, such strategy introduces deionized water as solvent, reduces production cost and simplifies the fabrication process of the heterojunction photocatalyst. Characterizations indicate that CdS nanoparticles (NPs) are uniformly interspersed on the surface of UiO-66-NH 2 and the intimate contacted heterojunction interface is generated to prevent recombination of photogenerated charge carriers. CdS/UiO-66-NH 2 with a mass ratio of 1.5:1 (CdS: UiO-66-NH 2 ) exhibits the highest photocatalytic degradation rate for RhB of approximately 92.5% in 40 min and excellent photostability through four recycles. Furthermore, Photoluminescence (PL) spectra, UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS), transient photocurrent, electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS), Nyquist plots and Mott-Schottky plots are applied to characterize the photoelectrochemical properties. The observably enhanced photocatalytic performance can be attributed to: 1) larger specific surface area, increased photocatalytic active sites, intimate contacted interface, 2) created n-n type heterojunction, and 3) rapid separation and transfer of photoexcited interfacial charges.

Metal–organic framework (MOF)-based materials possess numerous attractive characteristics; however, the application of MOF-based photocatalysts in the area of visible-light photocatalytic H2 evolution is still in its infancy. Herein, we develop a series of novel UiO-66-NH2-based composites with embedded NiO nanoparticles via solvothermal treatment and subsequent calcination. Their characterizations demonstrate intimate lattice-level contacts between UiO-66-NH2 photocatalysts and NiO nanoparticles. By optimizing each component, even without noble metal loading, the U6N-NiO-2 sample (the weight ratio of NiO to U6N-NiO-2 is theoretically calculated to be ca. 10 wt%) with 15 mg eosin Y as a sensitizer causes an enhanced H2 generation rate of 2561.32 μmol h−1 g−1 under visible-light irradiation using TEOA as a sacrificial reagent; furthermore, its corresponding quantum efficiency is as high as 6.4% at 420 nm. The H2 evolution activity of U6N-NiO-2 is about 5 times higher than that of the UiO-66-NH2 photocatalyst (denoted as U6N) and 23 times higher than that of U6N-NiO-2 without sensitizer. It is demonstrated that the high efficiency originates from the visible-light generated electrons of eosin Y and UiO-66-NH2, the efficient separation of carriers by the cascaded band structure and more negative CB of NiO as well as the good dispersion of NiO nanoparticles on the octahedral skeleton. This study provides new insights for the design of MOF-based materials without noble metal loading for visible-light photocatalytic H2 evolution.

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.

Nitrite is a commonly used food preservative and a water contaminant that has garnered significant attention due to its harmful effects on human health. Developing a simple and sensitive method for determining nitrite levels is crucial for safeguarding public health. In this paper, we present a novel ratiometric fluorescent nanosensor (CDs@UiO-66-NH 2 ), created by combining orange-red-emitting CDs with blue-emitting UiO-66-NH 2 . This ratiometric probe detects nitrite ions (NO 2 − ) based on the diazotization reaction between the amino group in UiO-66-NH 2 and the target NO 2 − , where the blue emission of UiO-66-NH 2 is quenched but the orange-red emission of CDs remains stable. The probe demonstrated a detection range of 0.5–20 μM with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.157 μM for NO 2 − . Due to the probe’s distinct color changes in response to NO 2 − , RGB values can be easily read using a smartphone, enabling ultrasensitive visual detection of NO 2 − with an LOD of 0.76 μM. This sensor was successfully applied to detect NO 2 − in environmental water samples. Finally, a smartphone-based RGB reading method using CDs@UiO-66-NH 2 for visual quantitative detection of NO 2 − was proposed, broadening the application of CDs@UiO-66-NH 2 in environmental protection.

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a severe inflammatory condition with a rising incidence and high mortality rates, especially in severe cases. Emodin (ED), known for its potent anti-inflammatory properties, holds promise in addressing AP. However, its clinical application is hindered by limitations such as low bioavailability and insufficient target specificity. Herein, we developed a novel drug delivery system using macrophage membrane-coated UiO-66-NH 2 nanoparticles loaded with ED (MVs-UiO-ED). UiO-66-NH 2 was successfully synthesized and characterized, revealing an octahedral structure with a suitable size distribution. The successful loading of ED onto UiO-66-NH 2 was confirmed by ultraviolet and infrared spectroscopy. Subsequently, MVs-UiO-ED was prepared by coating macrophage membrane-derived vesicles onto UiO-ED, resulting in a biomimetic delivery system. In vitro release studies demonstrated that MVs-UiO-ED exhibited a sustained-release profile, indicating its potential for prolonged drug circulation. An AP mouse model was established to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of MVs-UiO-ED. Compared with the model group, MVs-UiO-ED significantly reduced serum levels of α-amylase and lipase, two indicators of pancreatitis severity. Furthermore, histopathological examinations revealed that MVs-UiO-ED ameliorated pancreatic tissue damage. This study underscores the potential of MVs-UiO-ED as an effective therapeutic approach for AP.

Lysine (Lys) is an essential nutrient that plays a crucial role in the growth and development of living organisms. Chiral analysis of Lys holds significant importance for ensuring the safety of food, pharmaceuticals, and health products. In this work, an achiral Zr-based metal organic frameworks (MOFs), UiO-66-NH 2 , was proposed as a fluorescent probe to achieve rapid response to l -lysine (L-Lys) in solution. Additionally, Zr 4+ in the skeleton of UiO-66-NH 2 framework exhibited different binding capacities towards Lys enantiomers, leading to distinct fluorescence responses for L-Lys and d -lysine (D-Lys). Leveraging these properties, the UiO-66-NH 2 probe enabled accurate determination of L-Lys concentrations in solution, as well as the enantiomeric excess (ee) values of Lys solutions. Notably, in the detection of Lys enantiomers, the achiral UiO-66-NH 2 acted as both a chiral selector and a fluorescent indicator, greatly improving the efficiency and stability of the detection system. The probable mechanism was further elucidated by pH titration experiments and density functional theory calculations. Additionally, the general applicability of this mechanism was validated by similar amino MOFs. The application of the UiO-66-NH 2 fluorescent probe in analysis of infant formula milk powders and liquid milk samples confirmed the reliability of the method. Moreover, the construction of fluorescence test paper by immobilizing UiO-66-NH 2 onto filler papers enabled the rapid identification of Lys enantiomers. Compared to previous fluorescent analyses of chiral amino acids assisted by additional metal ions, this study presented a novel approach and methodology that offers high efficiency, stability, reproducibility and reusability for the identification and detection of Lys enantiomers, highlighting the potential of the UiO-66-NH 2 fluorescent probe in advancing analytical techniques.

UiO–66–NH 2 (Ti/Zr) modified by Ti metal oxide (TiO 2 ) was used to catalyze the hydrolysis of cellulose to prepare 5-HMF. Under the optimal reaction conditions of H 2 O(NaCl)/THF(1/4 mL), 190 °C, 2 h and 50 mg UNT-3(Ti/Zr) (TiO 2 and UiO–66–NH 2 with mass of 1.5 and 0.1 g, respectively), the yield of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural reached 59.88%. UiO–66–NH 2 (Ti/Zr) nanocomposites with different mass ratios were successfully prepared by simple solvent evaporation method. SEM and TEM have shown that the modified UiO–66–NH 2 (Ti/Zr) are wrapped into sphere by TiO 2 densely attached to the surface of UiO–66–NH 2 , which provides favorable conditions for the uniform dispersion of TiO 2 and coordination of the Lewis acidic site of UiO–66–NH 2 . NH 3 –TPD results confirmed the existence of super-strong, strong, middle and weak acid sites in UiO–66–NH 2 (Ti/Zr), and Py-FTIR confirmed the existence of Brønsted and Lewis acids. After four cycles, the yield of 5-HMF and FUR decreased slightly from 59.88 to 51.89% and 9.11 to 7.66%, respectively, and the yield of 5-HMF could still remain above 50%. The results showed that the modified composite treatment of TiO 2 with rich Lewis acid/base and UiO–66–NH 2 could provide a certain idea for the extensive application of biomass research in the future.

Aristolochic acid I (AA-I), a known nephrotoxin and carcinogen, is commonly found in certain medicinal plants, posing significant safety concerns. In this work, defect-engineered, molecularly imprinted UiO-66-NH2 was synthesized via a one-pot hydrothermal method using indomethacin (IND) as a green alternative template. The resulting imprinted metal–organic framework effectively mitigates matrix interference, enabling highly selective recognition and the efficient adsorption of AA-I. Structural characterization confirmed that the imprinting process and template removal did not compromise the framework integrity of UiO-66-NH2. Spectroscopic analysis revealed that AA-I recognition was governed by Zr coordination, electrostatic interactions, and spatially confined recognition sites within the porous framework. Density functional theory calculations further elucidated the interaction mechanisms involved in the adsorption process. The imprinted UiO-66-NH2 exhibited a maximum adsorption capacity of 42.74 mg/g and an imprinting factor of 2.48. In real sample analysis, the material achieved recovery rates of 96.7–103.5% and excellent selectivity in Clematis armandii extracts. The adsorption efficiency remained above 80% after five adsorption–desorption cycles, indicating good structural stability and reusability. This work offers a promising and sustainable strategy for improving herbal medicine safety through the rational design of ecofriendly MOF-based adsorbents.

Enzyme reaction has been accepted widely in numerous applications owing to the high efficiency and stereo-selectivity, as well as simple preparation by gene engineering. However, the fragility and complex purification process of the enzyme are long-standing problems which limit the large-scale application. One possible solution may be the enzyme immobilization. As one type of porous material with high loading capacity and designable functionality, Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are ideal choices for the immobilization of enzyme with a considerable interest in recent years. In this study, d -amino acid transaminase ( DAT ), an important enzyme for industrial synthesis of d -Ala, was covalently immobilized on the surface of a star MOFs material, UiO-66-NH 2. Interestingly, we found that the nanoscale hybrid enzyme UiO-66-NH 2 -Gd- DAT not only maintained the high catalytic efficiency but also got rid of the interference of polluting enzymes, which meant that we could obtain efficient and stereo-selective immobilized enzyme without complex purification process. In general, our findings demonstrated that using UiO-66-NH 2 might be a promising strategy to immobilize enzyme and produce effective biocatalyst with high activity and stereo-selectivity.

The adsorption performances of individual adsorbent such as UiO-66-NH 2 and MgAl-layered double hydroxides (MgAl-LDH) toward levofloxacin (LVX) is less satisfactory due to the disappointing uptake capacity and adsorption efficiency. Herein, a 3D flower-like composite adsorbent prepared via iterative hydrothermal synthesis method anchoring UiO-66-NH 2 nanoparticles onto the MgAl-LDH surface. Attributed to the synergistic effects of UiO-66-NH 2 , and MgAl-LDH, the MgAl-LDH@UiO-66-NH 2 exhibits an outstanding adsorption performance toward LVX. Typically, the maximum LVX uptake capacity over MgAl-LDH@UiO-66-NH 2 reached 268 mg/g, which was higher than that of the individual adsorption materials UiO-66-NH 2 (41 mg/g), MgAl-LDH (140 mg/g), and some adsorbents reported in previous literature. The rapid adsorption process can reach equilibrium within 20 min, which conformed well to the pseudo-second-order kinetics and the Langmuir isotherm model. Adsorption thermodynamic result also indicated that the adsorption was spontaneous and exothermic, simultaneous coexisting physical and chemical adsorption interactions. Importantly, the MgAl-LDH@UiO-66-NH 2 still maintained excellent adsorption capacity with a slightly decrease after fifth cycle, exhibiting a remarkable reuse and stable performances. This work provides a highly novel strategy to prepare recyclable composite adsorbent for the LVX capture from aqueous solution.
