Wood-derived carbon is an ideal material for self-supporting electrode supercapacitors based on its anisotropic porous structure and excellent electrical conductivity from natural wood. However, the low specific surface area and space utilization limit the development of performance. This study reports efficient Polydopamine(PDA)/ Metal-organic frameworks (MOF)/Wood supercapacitor electrodes with a sandwich channel structure and a one-step composite method. The assembled supercapacitor electrodes exhibit effect energy density (0.40 mW h cm −2 ), power density (1000 mW cm −2 ), and recycling stability(10,000 cycles - 81.53 %). The fabrication of these sandwich channel structures with 2-methylimidazole zinc salt (ZIF-8) derived carbon increased the specific surface area, which is not only simple and precisely controllable, but SCnitrogen doping was introduced to improve the electrochemical performance by PDA. The one-step composite method could link the wood-derived carbon framework and ZIF-8 interface by PDA enhancement. This study promises prospects for developing high-performance supercapacitors to ensure clean fuel and green energy storage devices.

Abnormal tumor microenvironment, such as hypoxia, interstitial hypertension and low pH, leads to unexpected resistance for current tumor treatment. The development of versatile drug delivery systems which present responsive characteristics to tumor microenvironment (TME) has been extensively carried out, but remains challenging. In this study, zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) coated ZnS nanoparticles have been designed and prepared for co-delivery of ICG/TPZ molecules, denoted as ZSZIT, for H 2 S-amplified synergistic therapy. Methods: The ZSZ nanoparticles were characterized using SEM, TEM and XRD. The in vitro viabilities of cancer cells cultured with ZSZIT under normoxia/hypoxia conditions were evaluated by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. In addition, in vivo anti-tumor effect was also performed using male Balb/c nude mice as animal model. Results: ZSZIT shows cascade PDT and hypoxia-activated chemotherapeutic effect under an 808nm NIR irradiation. Meanwhile, ZSZIT degrades under tumor acidic environment, and H 2 S produced by ZnS cores could inhibit the expression of catalase, which subsequently favors the hypoxia and antitumor effect of TPZ drug. Both in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate the H 2 S-sensitized synergistic antitumor effect based on cascade PDT/chemotherapy. Conclusion: This cascade H 2 S-sensitized synergistic nanoplatform has enabled more effective and lasting anticancer treatment.

During tendon injury repair, deficiency of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is a critical factor leading to unsatisfactory repair results. This study aims to prepare bFGF-loaded zeolite imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8) nanocrystals using one-pot synthesis method. Subsequently, a bilayer nanofibrous membrane incorporating these drug-loaded nanocrystals was fabricated through electrospinning technology. The potential of this composite nanofibrous membrane to facilitate the continuous release of bFGF at the site of tendon injury was evaluated, with the aim of enhancing the quality of tendon repair. The efficacy of the nanofibrous membrane in promoting tendon differentiation, preventing tendon adhesion, and facilitating tendon repair was assessed through both in vitro and in vivo experiments. At the site of tendon injury, the degradation of ZIF-8 in an acidic microenvironment resulted in the release of bFGF and Zn2+, which contribute to the enhancement of tendon repair. ZIF-8 nanocrystals, achieving an encapsulation efficiency of 50.13% ± 1.42%. Following a continuous release period exceeding 40 days, the cumulative in vitro release rate was determined to be 35.02% ± 4.27%. The incorporation of ZIF-8 nanocrystals into a nanofibrous membrane demonstrated the ability to effectively preserve the bioactivity of bFGF while enabling sustained sustained release at the site of tendon injury, thereby facilitating tendon repair. The findings offer novel insights into the treatment of tendon injuries and provide significant theoretical guidance for the tendon repair process.

Metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived carbon-based electrodes have demonstrated outstanding capacitive deionization (CDI) performance, owing to their special structures and configurations. Developing novel low-cost controllable protocols to obtain highly efficient Nitrogen-doped carbon-derived MOFs is the most challenging factor to transfer widely the application of these materials at real world. This work aims to develop a low-cost one-step growth route to produce N-doped carbon (NGZC) utilizing N-doped graphene quantum dots (N-GQDs) and zeolitic imidazolate frameworks-8 (ZIF-8) as starting substrates. The surface chemistry, morphology and CDI performance of the as-synthesized NGZC electrode were investigated, compared with conventional materials. The authors found that the introduction of N-doped graphene quantum dots dramatically enhances the mesopore volume (0.742 cm 3 /g) and pyrrolic-N ratio (19.21 %) for NGZC. These improvements effectively shorten the electron and sodium ion transport paths which in turn facilitate the pseudocapacitive activity and charge transfer in NGZC. The specific capacitance and salt adsorption capacity were found to be 283.16 F/g and 17.86 mg/g, respectively, demonstrating superior values than commonly used electrodes. NGZC shows a high stability over 30 adsorption-desorption cycles with a capacity retention of 90 %. DFT results further demonstrate the pseudocapacitive superiority of pyrrolic-N to reinforce the Na + capture. This finding provides new insights into the design of an economical and controllable N-doped carbon electrode for efficient CDI desalination.

The development of modern technologies has acclimatized biosensors to complicated applicable scenarios with integrated properties as a whole instead of the pursuit of a single-point breakthrough. Here, we targeted a few concerns in the development of enzyme-based biosensors, including stability, analyte enrichment, and signal transduction, and developed a general biosensing model utilizing enzymes, aggregation-induced emission (AIE) luminogens, and stimuli-responsive framework materials as the units. We propose such proof-of-concept of glucose biosensors by coencapsulating glucose oxidase and AIE-type gold nanoclusters into acid-sensitive zeolite imidazolate framework (ZIF)-8 nanocrystals. The acid-activated degradation of ZIF-8 bridges the molecular signals produced by the enzyme-catalytic reaction of glucose and the photon signals generated by ZIF-8-induced AIE effects of gold nanoclusters, resulting in the “turn-off” model nanoprobes for glucose detection with high selectivity. After embedding the nanoprobes into hollow-out tapes, the formed paper biosensors can conveniently detect glucose with the help of a smartphone.

2D hierarchically porous carbon (2D-HPC) nanosheets with unique advantages are highly desired as host materials for lithium sulfur (Li–S) batteries and other energy storage devices. Herein, we propose a self-template and organic solvent-free approach to synthesize nanosheets of monoclinic ZIF-8 at room temperature from which 2D-HPC nanosheets (ZIF-8 nanosheets carbon denoted as ZIF-8-NS-C) are derived to be an efficient sulfur immobilizer for Li–S batteries for the first time. The anisotropic nanosheets are believed to relate to the symmetry of the monoclinic structure. The 2D ZIF-8-NS-C nanosheets with embedded hierarchical pores construct an effective conductive network through “plane-to-plane” modes to endow superior electron transfer and fast electrochemical kinetics. Moreover, the nitrogen-rich feature of ZIF-8-NS-C can increase the affinity/interaction of carbon host with lithium polysulfides, favoring the cyclic performance. The sulfur/ZIF-8-NS-C (S/ZIF-8-NS-C) cathode shows a superior rate capability with high capacities of 1226 mA h g–1 at 0.2 C and 785 mA h g–1 at 2 C, and a sustainable cycling stability with a capacity attenuation of 0.12% per cycle at 0.5 C for 300 cycles. The approach proposed here pioneers the controllable design of MOF-based structures to inspire the exploration of more variable MOF-derived porous materials for energy storage applications.

Cytokinins play a critical role in controlling plant growth and development, but it is difficult to be determined in plant samples due to the extremely low concentration level of picomole/gram. So it is important for efficient sample preparation with selective enrichment and rapid separation for accurate analysis of cytokinins. Herein, a supramolecular perhydroxy-cucurbit[8]uril (PCB[8]) was fabricated into the Fe3O4 magnetic particles via chemical bonding assembly and magnetic perhydroxy-cucurbit[8]uril (MPC) materials were obtained. The MPC had good enrichment capability to cytokinins and the enrichment factors were more than 208. The interaction of MPC and cytokinins was investigated by adsorption test and density functional theory (DFT) calculation, the results showed that the main drive forces were the host–guest interaction and hydrogen-bonding interaction between the perhydroxy-cucurbit[8]uril with analytes. Combined with ultra performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC–MS/MS), the MPC was used as a sorbent of magnetic solid-phase extraction for the analysis of cytokinins in plant samples. A sensitive and selective UPLC–MS/MS method was developed with low detection limits of 0.14–0.32 ng/L for cytokinins analysis. Five cytokinins including zeatin riboside, meta-topolin, kinetin, kinetin riboside, and zip with 6.12–87.3 ng/kg were determined in the soybean sprout and Arabidopsis thaliana. The recoveries were in the range of 76.2–110% with relative standard deviations (n = 5) of 2.3–9.7%. On the basis of these results, magnetic perhydroxy-cucurbit[8]uril materials with selective enrichment capability have good potential on the analysis of ultratrace targets from complicated sample matrixes.

[Cs x Ba y ][(Al 3+ ,Ti 3+ ) 2 y + x Ti 4+ 8-2 y - x ]O 16 (0.4 ≤ x , y ≤ 0.8) ceramics were synthesized to investigate the substitution effects of Ba 2+ for Cs + on the stability of hollandite-ceramic waste forms. It was found that the substitution of Ba 2+ for Cs + in the (Cs,Ba)-hollandite system does not cause substantial variation in the crystallographic phase and microstructure. The normalized release rates of Cs and Ba at 90 °C in deionized water were < 0.005 g m −2 d −1 after 28 days. These results indicate that hollandite ceramics are an ideal host for permanent radioactive caesium disposal.

Repair of periodontal and maxillofacial bone defects is a major challenge in clinical. Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is considered one of the most effective methods. However, the efficacy of currently available GBR membranes for repair is frequently limited by their poor osteogenic potential and lack of antibacterial activity. The first step in this investigation was to construct a zinc-based zeolite-imidazolate framework loaded with copper ions ( [email protected] ). Following that, a novel polycaprolactone/polylactic acid/nano-hydroxyapatite/ [email protected] (PCL/PLA/n-HA/ [email protected] ) GBR membrane was developed using a simple porogen with nonsolvent-induced phase separation (NIPS) approach. The produced membrane with asymmetric porous structure (one smooth side and one rough side) possesses hydrophilicity corresponding to the roughness of its two sides. The superior mechanical property, stability of degradation, and ion release capability of the membrane all contribute to the clinical feasibility. Additionally, in vitro biological experiments demonstrated that the PCL/PLA/n-HA/ [email protected] membrane had favorable osteogenic and antibacterial properties, which suggests the high potential for application in the GBR procedure.

Endocrine therapy is often used for advanced prostate cancer. However, with cancer progress, prostate cancer gradually resistant to hormone which lead to serious threatens to life of patients. Herein, a multifunctional synergistic core–shell nanoplatform is reported for improving
the therapeutic effect of chemotherapy for advanced or metastatic prostate cancer, and reducing the risk of leakage of chemotherapy drugs. Particularly, Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) is chosen as inner core to load doxorubicin, and the of liposomes which are embedded with IR780
iodide are used as outer shell, and further modified with target ligand that binds to luteinizing hormone releasing hormone receptor. The prepared nanocarrier exhibit satisfactory photothermal effect under near infrared laser irradiation, and the temperature increases to 60.8 °C within
6 min. Meanwhile, the elevated temperature accelerates the degradation of lipid shell, releasing ZIF-8 core to acidic microenvironment of tumor, and resulting in the release of doxorubicin. Moreover, in vivo and in vitro studies have shown the ZIF-D@ALIP core–shell nanoparticles
can achieve targeted drug delivery, pH and NIR dual stimuli-responsive drug release, as well as chemotherapy and photothermal therapy synergistically on the tumor site. In addition, the problem of premature leakage and changes in the physicochemical properties of anticancer drugs are avoided
under the protection of the outer shell structure. Therefore, the core–shell nanostructure proposes a new lipid membrane coating strategy to promote the effective targeting of prostate cancer cells or tissues and provides some insights in clinical treatment for advanced prostate cancer.

Around 6.6 million tons of spent coffee is produced per year, resulting in resources loss and potential environmental risks. Hence, a green technique is required to reuse the spent coffee grains. In this study, coffee grounds were burnt at 900 °C to generate the biochar (BC) for the synthesis of the porous adsorbent (ZIF-8 @BC) by growing ZIF-8 on the surface of BC. We applied the well-prepared ZIF-8 @BC to remove Congo red (CR) in water. The maximum adsorption capacity of ZIF-8 @BC on Congo red in water was up to 1080.4 mg/g, which was significantly higher than that of many different types of BCs reported in previous studies. The reasons for its highly efficient adsorption of CR probably was attributed to metal ions and coordinatively unsaturated sites in the material. Also, BC enabled the less aggregation of ZIF-8 to provide sufficient specific surface area for CR adsorption. From the analysis of the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir model, the adsorption of ZIF-8 @BC on CR was a homogeneously chemical adsorption process regulated by electrostatic interaction, π-π stacking and metal coordination.

Here we report the investigation of using cucurbit[8]uril (CB8) and its coordination complex with cadmium (II) (CB8-Cd) as stationary phases for capillary gas chromatography (GC). The prepared capillary columns of CB8 and CB8-Cd stationary phases achieved column efficiency of 2200 plates/m and 1508 plates/m, respectively, and showed weak polarity based on the measured McReynolds constants. Their separation performance was investigated by GC separation of mixtures of different types while a commercial column was used for comparison. The CB8 stationary phase achieved high resolution for a wide range of analytes from nonpolar to polar while the CB8-Cd stationary phase exhibited good separation mainly for nonpolar to weak polar analytes. The CB stationary phases differ from the commercial one in terms of retention behaviors and resolving ability due to their different molecular interactions with analytes. Moreover, energy effect on the retention of analytes on CB8 and CB8-Cd stationary phases was examined, showing that retention on CB8 column was determined mainly by enthalpy change for polar analytes and by both enthalpy change and entropy change for weak polar analytes whereas retention on CB8-Cd column was mainly controlled by entropy change. This work demonstrates the great potential of CB8 and CB8-Cd stationary phases as a new type of GC stationary phases in GC analysis.
