Recently, low-energy forward osmosis (FO) technology has been employed in the lithium concentration stage during the extraction of lithium from brine sources. The interlayer FO membrane is renowned for its exceptional structural characteristics; however, challenges remain in selecting suitable interlayer materials and exploring their control mechanisms on amine monomers. As interlayer materials, traditional 3D nanomaterials are prone to detachment, while traditional 2D materials without micropores can increase the transmission resistance of water molecules. This study introduces a novel FO membrane utilizing Zr-BTB nanosheets with 5.4 Å micropores as the interlayer material. Based on detection and simulation calculations, it was found that the increase in steric hindrance and interaction forces jointly slowed the diffusion of amine monomers in the presence of the Zr-BTB interlayer. This results in a thinner separation layer, facilitating water transport. The interlayer also plays crucial roles in preventing defective pore formation in the separation layer and assisting in intercepting salt ions. The Zr-BTB interlayer membrane exhibited a water flux of 29.14 L m −2 h −1 and a reverse salt flux of 0.16 g m −2 h −1 , which are superior to those of many FO membranes reported in the field. The prepared membrane also has excellent performance in lithium concentration applications, and its separation mechanism was explored by MD simulations.

A hollow heterojunction of W-Zr-MOF-NH 2 @TpTt-COF (WZT) was fabricated by combining etched W-Zr-MOF-NH 2 with TpTt-COF. WZT, synthesized through acid etching and hydrothermal methods, showed better tetracycline degradation than pure W-Zr-MOF-NH 2 and pure TpTt-COF due to its larger specific surface area and more active sites. The surface of WZT contains abundant oxygen vacancies (OVs) that capture electrons, promoting the separation of photogenerated e - -h + pairs and increasing WZT’s photocatalytic activity. WZT (1:1, mass) showed 87% degradation of tetracycline under 300 W Xenon lamp irradiation. The results of cycling experiments demonstrated the high stability and reusability of WZT (1:1), making it feasible for production. The excellent photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline by WZT (1:1) originates from the formation of heterojunctions and the presence of surface OVs, which reduces the strong photogenerated e - -h + complexation efficiency. Possible photocatalytic degradation mechanisms are proposed while demonstrating the formation of Z-scheme heterojunction in WZT, which aligned with the experimental results of electron spin resonance (ESR). The tetracycline oxidative decomposition process involves the participation of •OH, 1 O 2 , • O 2 - , e - , and h + as proven by ESR and radical trapping experiments. This work proposes a research idea to prepare high-performance photocatalysts with MOF@COF type, featuring OVs-rich and Z-scheme heterojunctions.

Rapid and quantitative detection of nitrobenzene (NB) in wastewater is of great significance to protect the natural environment and human health. In this work, bifunctional Ln@Zr-MOFs based on UiO-66 were successfully fabricated by partially replacing terephthalic acid (H2BDC) ligands with m-phthalic acid (m-H2BDC) ligands and post-synthetic modification (PSM) with Ln3+ (Ln3+ = Eu3+, Tb3+). The “antenna effect” of the m-H2BDC ligands makes Ln@Zr-MOFs exhibit the characteristic emissions of Ln3+. By adjusting the amount and type of Ln3+, controllable color-tuning emissions can be easily realized, which endows them with a great application prospect for white LEDs. On the other hand, Eu10@Zr-MOFs can serve as a turn-off fluorescent switch of NB because the red emission from Eu3+ can be easily quenched by NB through a photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process between NB and its ligands, and as a result, NB is successfully recognized. Particularly, Eu10@Zr-MOFs as a fluorescent probe have shown many appealing properties, such as high sensitivity (limit of detection is 1.04 μM, limit of quantification is 3.48 μM, and Ksv = 24459.71 M−1), quick response (less than 60 s), a broad response window (0–180 μM), excellent selectivity, and strong anti-interference ability. The real detection results of NB concentration in natural water samples have demonstrated that the reported Eu10@Zr-MOFs are a potential fluorescent material that can precisely and sensitively perform fluorescence sensing of NB.

The Calcium looping thermochemical reaction directly driven by solar energy effectively addresses the problem of efficient energy storage of concentrated solar power plants (CSP) by shortening the energy conversion path. But new requirements are put forward for energy storage materials, including high solar radiation absorption, high cycling stability and fast kinetics. To meet these challenges, we have designed porous microsphere structures for the purpose of enhancing mass transfer and the capture of solar radiation. Additionally, Zr and Mn oxides with elevated Tammann temperatures were incorporated to stabilize the morphology and prevent sintering. The synthesized porous microspheres retained abundant mesoporous channels on the surface even after undergoing 20 cycles. The addition of Mn oxide significantly enhances solar spectral absorptivity, achieving an impressive 82.88 % absorbance. The incorporation of Mn and Zr oxides increased the sintering resistance, specific surface area and porosity of CaO/CaCO 3 , especially in the 10–100 nm range, which accelerated the CO 2 transport during carbonation. These enhancements significantly improve the chemical control stage of the carbonation reaction, as further supported by kinetic models. After 50 cycle experiments at 800 °C, the energy storage density of the sample remains at 1074 kJ/kg, which is 1.86 times that of the undoped CaCO 3 . This study provides a new way to design CaCO 3 materials suitable for CSP applications.

The development of novel biocatalysts is essential to promote the commercialization of biodiesel production by transesterification reaction. In this paper, Rhizopus oryzae lipase (ROL) was immobilized on an amino-functionalized zirconium-based metal organoskeleton by interfacial adsorption. The immobilization conditions were optimized and the enzymatic properties were tested, and the resulting novel biocatalysts exhibited higher stability and heat resistance. SEM, XRD and BET analyses were used to characterize the biocatalysts and carrier materials. The catalytic performance of ROL@UiO-66-NH 2 in the production of biodiesel by transesterification reaction was explored, and the production process was optimized by response surface method. The results showed that the conversion rate of FAEE reached 82.05% at molar ratio of ethanol/oil of 15.43:1, reaction temperature of 50.28°C, reaction time of 120.9 min, DES addition of 48.08 wt%, biocatalyst addition of 3 wt%, and ultrasonic power of 90 W. In addition, ROL@UiO-66-NH 2 demonstrated good recyclability, with the catalytic efficiency remaining at 71.87% after five cycles.

Activation of the N≡N bond is of importance in photocatalytic nitrogen (N2) fixation, which strongly relies on the precise construction of catalytic active sites. Herein, we reported a dual-metal photocatalyst of Mo/UN(Zr) with a high proportion of Mo-coordinated Zr–O clusters (Zr–O–Mo dual-metal active sites) for photocatalytic N2 fixation, which was synthesized though post-modification to the defects of UN(Zr) by Mo. By contrast with the dual-metal photocatalyst of UN(Zr–Mo) synthesized via the co-mixing method, Mo/UN(Zr) possesses a higher proportion of Zr–O–Mo dual-metal active sites that is crucial for activating and polarizing N≡N bond as evidenced by in situ Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy combined with density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The synergistic effect of Zr–O–Mo dual-metal active sites resulted in a lower potential activation energy barrier for N2 activation which promoted the photocatalytic N2 fixation efficiency. The optimum photocatalytic N2 fixation rate of Mo/UN(Zr) was 255.7 μmol g–1 h–1 by adjusting the loading amount of Mo, which was enhanced about 2.5 times and 1.6 times compared with UN(Zr) and UN(Zr–Mo) photocatalyst, respectively. Our study will afford valuable guidance for designing efficient photocatalysts for photocatalytic N2 fixation.

Tuning substrate properties is an effective methodology to modulate the texture development of MgO films deposited by ion beam-assisted deposition (IBAD) process for epitaxial oxide films. Herein, a solution deposition planarization (SDP) technique is employed to deposit Gd-Zr-O layer for engineering surface properties of the flexible metal substrate. The correlation between the Gd-Zr-O thin film microstructure and the IBAD-MgO texture is investigated. The coordinated study on atomic force microscopy (AFM) and reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) reveal that the grain coarsening during high-temperature sintering negatively influences the texture formation of IBAD-MgO. Moreover, the chemical environment of the atoms on the surface of Gd-Zr-O seed layer also plays a critical role, which is normally overlooked. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis indicates that the carbon residue and intermediate phase result in the poor texture of the IBAD-MgO. This phenomenon is related to the partial decomposition and synthesis reactions due to the lower sintering temperature or reduced surface to volume ratio. We demonstrate the high-quality texture of IBAD-MgO layer, deposited on mono-coated thick Gd-Zr-O film, by using optimal heat-treatment conditions. The cross-sectional TEM images present the dense Gd-Zr-O film with Gd 2 Zr 2 O 7 nanograins. The multifunctionalities, such as planarization, a barrier layer, and seed layer, of Gd-Zr-O layers are realized in full-stacked CeO 2 /LaMnO 3 /IBAD-MgO/SDP-Gd-Zr-O/C276 samples. This work demonstrates a route for simplifying the architecture of 2G-HTS using Gd-Zr-O layer and explores the effect of the surface properties on texture formation in IBAD-MgO layer.

High-performance MFI zeolite supported nickel catalysts were prepared by the ammonia evaporation method for maleic anhydride (MA) conversion to γ-butyrolactone (GBL). According to comprehensive characterizations, the Ni catalysts possessed petal-like morphology and hierarchical structures with meso and micro pores. Nickel species were highly dispersed on the silica support and generated abundant Lewis acid sites (LAS), which effectively activated carbonyl groups in the reactant and accounted for the high activity in MA hydrogenation. Zr species hydrothermally introduced into the catalyst increased the number of LAS and decreased the apparent activation energy for the reaction. The highest GBL yield reached 95.6% over 40Ni-2Zr-MFI with the assistance of 3A zeolite to in-situ remove water byproduct. The catalyst showed reasonably good stability in five-cycle operation thanks to the strong interaction between Ni and support. The reaction route for MA hydrogenation was investigated, in which succinic anhydride (SA-A) served as the major reaction intermediate for GBL formation.

In the present study, a kind of Eu(III) post-functionalized Zr(IV)-based metal-organic framework (UiO-66(COOH) 2 , Zr-MOF: Eu 3+ ) was synthesized and utilized as an independently luminescent probe for sensing bilirubin (BR) in human serum, a biomarker of jaundice hepatitis. It can be served as a turn-off fluorescent switch for BR because its red emission from Eu 3+ can be easily quenched by BR through a fluorescent resonant energy transfer (FRET) process between BR and its ligands, and as a result, BR is recognized successfully. Particularly, Zr-MOF: Eu 3+ has shown many appealing properties, such as high sensitivity, quick response (less than 1 min), broad response window (0–15 μM), and excellent selectivity. Most importantly, a kind of portable test paper based on Zr-MOF: Eu 3+ probe has been developed for directly assessing the level of BR in real human serum and further diagnosing bilirubin-related diseases via visually observing the luminescent color variation.

A facile and efficient synthetic strategy was used to prepare a silver nanoparticles-doped MOF (Ag NPs@Zr-TTFTB, TTFTB = tetrathiafulvalene tetrabenzoate) catalyst. Considering the stability of Zr 6 cluster-based MOFs and the confinement of small Ag NPs (below 5 nm), title hybrids can be used for the photocatalytic degradation of sulfamethoxazole (SMZ). The prepared Ag NPs@Zr-TTFTB were found to efficiently remove SMZ (k = 0.009 min −1 ) and remain active in the wide range of pH values (3.0 ~ 9.0) and four cycles. The leaching amount of Ag and Zr under different pH values were only accounted for 0.18% ~ 0.61% and 0.01% ~ 0.05% of used Ag NPs@Zr-TTFTB, respectively, which indicated its excellent stability. Studies on the catalytic mechanism revealed that the proposed heterostructure of Ag NPs and Zr-TTFTB led to the electron transfer and the generation of active oxygen species, resulting in its remarkable photocatalytic activities.

Direct selective oxidation of methane (DSOM) to oxygenates under mild conditions is garnering increasing interest. UiO-66-H MOFs are effective for this reaction, while the active configuration of Zr-oxo nodes with adsorbed ˙OH species need further clarification from the atomic/molecular viewpoint. Here, we detect the evolution of the geometric and electronic structures of adsorbed oxygenic species on Zr-oxo nodes of UiO-66-H via the controlled ˙OH species. DFT calculations reveal a volcano-like curve relationship between the quantity of ˙OH species and the DSOM performance, which is further corroborated by experimental tests. Zroxo-˙OH is the main active configuration on Zr-oxo nodes of UiO-66-H at low ˙OH concentration, while it evolves to other oxygenic species (˙OOH, O2, and H2O) due to the self-reaction with the increase of ˙OH concentration, which leads to performance decrease. Furthermore, a critical descriptor of the p-band centers of O atoms in these oxygenic species on the Zr-oxo nodes is established, which can well represent the catalytic activity for the DSOM reaction.

Solid-state reaction at 1000 °C produces a series of Li-stuffed Li5+2x(La1−yEuy)3(Ta1−xZrx)2O12 garnet phosphors (x = 0–1, y = 0.05–0.6) that exhibit favorable efficiency and thermal stability for red luminescence under either blue or n-UV light excitation, where the optimal composition was identified to be x = 0.5 and y = 0.4. The concentration quenching of luminescence was determined to occur via electric dipole–dipole interactions. Zr4+ substitution for Ta5+, accompanied by additional Li+ for charge compensation, was found via Rietveld structure refinement and Raman/UV-Vis spectroscopy to profoundly affect the tetrahedral and octahedral occupancies of Li, the symmetry of (La/Eu)O8 dodecahedron, and the bandgap of the host lattice and cation disorder, with which the systematically varying excitation and emission behaviors of Eu3+ were deciphered. The Li6(La0.6Eu0.4)3(Ta0.5Zr0.5)2O12 optimal phosphor showed quantum yields of ∼40 and 48% under 393 and 463 nm excitations, respectively, a fluorescence lifetime of ∼0.66 ms for its main emission at 610 nm, color coordinates of around (0.653, 0.347), and can retain as high as ∼85% of its room-temperature emission intensity at 423 K. The phosphor also exhibited a favorable performance for n-UV excited LED lighting.
