In recent decades, the ionic current rectification (ICR) property of asymmetric nanochannels has been widely explored in applications of energy conversion, gas separation, water purification and bioanalysis/sensors. How to fabricate nanofluidic devices with a high ICR characteristic remains of critical importance to the development of nanofluidics. Herein, we fabricated an asymmetric MOFs/PAA hybrid via in situ synthesis of a zeolitic imidazole framework (ZIF-90) on porous anodic alumina (PAA) nanochannels. The introduction of asymmetric geometry and charge distribution provides the hybrid with ultrahigh ionic rectification, which can be easily measured using an electrochemical detector. This rectification mechanism is elucidated via finite element simulation, which proves that asymmetric geometry as well as the protonation and deprotonation under varied pH values dominates the ICR property. With the advantages of low cost and facile fabrication while supporting high ionic current rectification, the prepared MOFs/PAA hybrid can be considered as a significant paradigm in nanofluidic systems and has potential applications in the fields of new ionic devices and energy conversion systems.

Fabrication of low-dimensional nano-MOFs as well as nanoparticles/metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) hybrids has sparked new scientific interests but remains a challenging task. Taking Cu 3 (BTC) 2 as a proof of concept, it is demonstrated thats NH 3 ⋅H 2 O solution of a confined pH value can readily shape the bulk Cu 3 (BTC) 2 into nanoscale Cu 3 (BTC) 2 , beyond the need to control the crystal growth kinetics of MOFs. Adjusting the pH of NH 3 ⋅H 2 O within a much small range (10–11) allows fine tuning over the size and shape of nanoscale Cu 3 (BTC) 2 . Particularly at pH = 11, NH 3 ⋅H 2 O exhibits weak reducibility that triggers a reduction of part of Cu 3 (BTC) 2 into Cu 2 O, while shaping the other into Cu 3 (BTC) 2 nanowires. Benefiting from the coincidence of reduction and etching effects, the newly generated Cu 2 O dots can in situ anchor onto adjacent Cu 3 (BTC) 2 nanowires at highly dispersive state, forming a well-defined sponge-like architecture built of Cu 2 O dots and nano-Cu 3 (BTC) 2 . The CuO x derived from annealing of the Cu 2 O dots/nano-Cu 3 (BTC) 2 hybrid preserves the sophisticated sponge architecture and high porosity, and exhibits promising applications in phenol scavenging, with efficiency outperforming its counterparts and many other Cu-based catalysts reported in literature. It is anticipated that the findings here pave the way for the rational design of intricate nano-MOFs in a more efficient way.

Subnanometer noble metal clusters have attracted much attention because of abundant low-coordinated metal atoms that perform excellent catalytic activity in various catalytic processes. However, the surface free energy of metals increases significantly with decreasing size of the metal clusters, which accelerates the aggregation of small clusters. In this work, new Schiff base–imidazole-functionalized MOFs were successfully synthesized via the postsynthetic modification method. Highly dispersed Pd clusters with an average size of 1.5 nm were constructed on this functional MOFs and behaved excellent catalytic activity in the Suzuki coupling of phenyboronic acid and bromobenzene (yield of biaryl >99%) under mild reaction conditions. Moreover, the catalyst can be reused six times without loss of activity. Such catalytic behavior is found to closely related to the surface functional groups that promote the formation of small Pd0 clusters in the metallic state.

Cooperative self-assembly of metal ions, bridging ligands and surfactants is an effective method to prepare mesostructured metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). In this study, we use quaternary ammonium surfactants with different head groups as templates to examine their effects on the structure and morphology of mesostructured MOFs formed by Cu2+ and 5-hydroxy-1,3-benzenedicarboxylic acid. In the presence of low surfactant concentrations, mesostructured MOFs with a variety of morphologies have been synthesized, having disordered, lamellar, p6mm or Pmn structure accordingly by increasing surfactant charge density. The particle size of mesostructured MOFs can be controlled from 200 to 600 nm by adjusting the molar ratio of ligand to surfactant. Comparing our experimental results with the synthesis of mesoporous silicas, we find that they follow a similar assembly process and the charge matching between surfactant and MOF framework plays a key role in the formation of mesostructures.

Magnetic core–shell spheres Fe 3 O 4 @MOFs and Fe 3 O 4 @MOFs/GO were prepared using layer by layer assembly method. Fe 3 O 4 @MOFs and Fe 3 O 4 @MOFs/GO were characterized by XRD , FTIR, SEM, TEM and VSM. The results showed that both magnetic spheres were with core–shell structure. The method was proved to be valuable for producing core–shell structure with porous nanocomposite materials as shell. Methylene blue was selected as drug model to study the drug loading of the synthesized spheres. It was found that the addition of graphene oxide (GO) enhanced the drug loading amount of magnetic sphere.

Preparing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) film in situ on the surface of the Ti-6Al-4V (TC4) titanium alloy is challenging owing to the dense and stable surface TiO 2 passive film. In this study, titanium-doped zirconium-based MOFs (Zr(Ti)-MOFs) film was constructed in situ on the TC4 alloy in one step at a low temperature and atmospheric pressure, with ZrCl 4 as the source of Zr metal ions. ZrCl 4 attacked and dissolved the TiO 2 film to form Zr-O-Ti bonds on the surface of TC4 to provide nucleation sites for further reactions. At the same time, Zr 4+ and dissolved Ti 4+ combined in solution to form Ti containing Zr-O cluster nodes, which aggregated and grafted to the Zr-O-Ti bonds on the substrate surface, and reacted with organic ligands (terephthalic acid) to form Zr(Ti)-MOFs film. The Ti 4+ dissolved from the TC4 participate in the Zr-MOFs formation, thereby changing the high temperature and high-pressure conditions required for the traditional preparation of Zr-MOFs (UiO-66). The in situ preparation of Zr(Ti)-MOFs on TC4 was achieved at 80°C under atmospheric pressure conditions. This study elucidated the growth mechanism of Zr(Ti)-MOFs on the TC4 surface, providing a reference for the design and in-situ preparation of multifunctional MOFs on the TC4 titanium alloy.

Abstract A facile one-step route was presented to prepared NH 2 -MIL-88B(Fe) and Fe 3 O 4 modified reduced graphene oxide nanoparticles (NH 2 -MIL-88B(Fe)@MRGO) as mimic enzymes. The as-prepared NH 2 -MIL-88B(Fe)@MRGO exhibits a higher affinity for hydrogen peroxide and thus possessed a prominent peroxidase-mimic activity. Under the most favorable conditions, the hybrid nanomaterials with high catalytic velocity (2.57 × 10 −7 M s −1 ) and affinity (Km = 0.0091 mM) for substrates of H 2 O 2 display a great glucose detection performance in the range of 20–800 μM with a Limit of detection (LOD) of 3.16 μM (S/N = 3). Graphic Abstract Favorable mimic enzymes catalysis is achieved on NH 2 -MIL-88B(Fe) and Fe 3 O 4 modified reduced graphene oxide nanoparticles (NH 2 -MIL-88B(Fe)@MRGO) for glucose detection.

High-level safety is the essential precondition for the future large-scale applications of the high-energy storage systems. In terms of the lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries, the low flash point and poor mechanical strength of the conventional polyolefin separator are the potential safety hazards to cause the fire and explosion in extreme environment. Herein, a thermotolerant and nonflammable hierarchical functional separator (Z-PMIA separator) is designed based on the poly(m-phenylene isophthalamide) (PMIA) membrane and the in-situ formed Co-containing zeolitic imidazolate framework ZIF-L(Co) secondary nanostructures. Benefiting from the feature of “Aramid” fibers and the special secondary ZIF-L(Co) nanostructures, the Z-PMIA separator not only guarantees high mechanical strength (suffering from a tensile strength of 15 MPa and a puncture force of 0.95 N) and remarkable thermal stability (no dimensional shrinkage even at 200 °C) but also effectively suppresses the polysulfide shuttle and lithium dendrite growth. As a result, the Z-PMIA separator delivers a high initial discharge capacity of 1391.2 mAh g −1 and a discharge capacity of 961.1 mAh g −1 after 350 cycles at 0.2C, with a slow capacity attenuation of 0.033% per cycle. Even under the conditions of high sulfur loading (9.23 mg cm −2 ) and low electrolyte/sulfur (E/S) ratio (8 mL g −1 ) or when running at a high temperature (80 °C), the Z-PMIA separator still enables a high charging/discharging performance, highlighting its promising commercial prospect for future high-safety and high-performance energy storage systems.

The realization of balance between relative permittivity and permeability is still a great challenge in the development of microwave absorption materials. Based on the controllable MOFs precursor, bimetallic Fe/M (M = Co, Ni, Mn) doped carbon derived from pyrolyzing bimetallic MOFs (FeM-MIL-88B) exhibits intriguing microwave absorption property. By tuning the second metal source and the ratio of Fe/M, in this work we realize impedance matching between free space and the absorber. Optimized FeCo 2 @C exhibits strong EMW absorption performance (-71.4 dB) and broad bandwidth (14.2 GHz) with a low filler loading of 25 wt%. The synergistic effect of the bimetal source on carbonization process and electric/magnetic properties prove that rationally doping the second metal source into the Fe-MOFs precursor to generate bimetallic magnetic nanoparticles/C material play an intensified role to tune the microwave absorption performance.

Due to the increasingly serious antibiotic-related pollution, it is crucial to develop novel green bioadsorbents to effectively remove antibiotics from aqueous solutions. In this study, Fe doped zeolitic imidazolate frameworks-8 loaded cellulose (Fe/ZIF-8@cellulose) aerogels were prepared. The synthesized Fe/ZIF-8@cellulose aerogels were characterized experimentally including morphology observation and chemical compositions determination. The effects of bioadsorbent dosage, solution pH, adsorption time, initial TC concentration and adsorption temperature on the TC adsorption behaviors were systematically studied. Due to the introduction of Fe in the ZIF-8, the maximum adsorption capacity of Fe/ZIF-8@cellulose for TC could reach as high as 1359.2 mg/g, which is higher than the reported ZIF-8 loaded polysaccharide based adsorbents. The adsorption kinetics and isotherm of TC adsorption were also determined. With the cellulose as the matrix to load Fe/ZIF-8, the obtained Fe/ZIF-8@cellulose aerogels exhibited good reusability. Most importantly, the TC adsorption mechanism was proposed. The results of our finding suggest that the Fe doping into MOFs is an effective strategy to improve the antibiotics adsorption performance and the application of cellulose as the matrix is a valuable method to increase the cyclic utilization. This study highlights the potentials of applying the Fe/ZIF-8@cellulose aerogels in the antibiotics removal for practical wastewater.

Phenol is highly toxic and can cause damage to humans and the ecosystem even at low concentrations. Therefore, developing a rapid, sensitive and easy operated detection strategy still faces challenge. In this work, the covalent organic frameworks (COFs)-reinforced peroxidase-mimicking hybrid nanozyme was rationally designed by assembly COFs on magnetic Fe 3 O 4 @ZIF-8 nanozyme. The Fe 3 O 4 @ZIF-8 @COF hybrid nanozyme exhibited significant improved catalytic activity and can be developed as a rapid and sensitive phenol colorimetric sensor with ease operation. The core-shell structure and the crystallinity of the as-prepared hybrid nanozyme were characterized in detail by various analytical methods SEM, TEM , FT-IR, XRD and elemental mapping. The catalytic activity of Fe 3 O 4 @ZIF-8 @COF mimic enzyme was investigated in the presence of H 2 O 2 using 4-aminoantipyrine (4-AAP) as the substrate. The developed Fe 3 O 4 @ZIF-8 @COF hybrid nanozyme was applied to construct colorimetric sensor for phenol detection and the result presented high selectivity , excellent stability and good reusability with a wide linear range (6–350 μM), low detection limit (2 μM) and an advantageous response time (5 min). The designed catalyst makes the enhancement of peroxidase-like activity, which can be attributed to the unique core-shell structure with the inner catalytic site and the outer protection and enrichment COF shell. Therefore, this proposed colorimetric sensor with robust, stable and easy-recycled properties displayed excellent practical significance for the fast and sensitive detection of phenol in water environment.

Fe-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) show high activity toward the activation of peroxodisulfate (PDS) for the removal of organic micropollutants (OMPs) in wastewater treatment. However, there is a phenomenon of Fe ion dissolution in the Fe-based MOFs’ active PDS system, and the reasons and influencing factors that cause Fe ion dissolution are poorly understood. In this study, we synthesized four types of Fe-based MOFs and confirmed their crystal structure through characterization. All types of Fe-based MOFs were found to activate PDS and form sulfate radicals (SO 4 − ), which effectively remove OMPs in wastewater. During the process of Fe-based MOFs activating PDS for CIP removal, activated species, oxidant reagent, and pH negatively impact the stability performance of the MOFs’ structure. The coordination bond between Fe atom and O atom can be attacked by water molecules, free radicals, and H + , causing damage to the crystal structure of MOFs. Additionally, Fe (II)-MOFs exhibit the best stability performance, due to the enhanced bond energy of the coordination bond in MOFs by the F ligands. This study summarizes the influencing factors of Fe-based MOFs’ damage during PDS activation processes, providing new insights for the future development of Fe-based MOFs.
