Deeply understanding the structure and electrical properties of ZIF-8 is very important due to many practical applications of porous materials . We present the crystal structure and microstructure details of ZIF-8 prepared in three different solvents. The solvents play an important role on grain growth of ZIF-8, furthermore, a small fraction of monoclinic phase can be found in the ZIF-8s prepared in water or in amonium hydroxide. Radio-frequency dielectric and impedance spectra studies of dynamic dielectric response of ZIF-8s indicate two additional dielectric relaxation processes associated with the introduced water molecules in as-prepared samples. The dielectric response can be described by the combination of the dc conductivity, the universal dielectric response, the Cole-Cole relation and intrinsic response. The results exhibit the solvents make an important influence on the electrical properties due to different contents water in ZIF-8s. Our results will pave a way to modify the dielectric property of ZIF-based dielectrics in radio-frequency applications.

The practical application of ZIF-8 crystals is commonly limited by their powder form. In this work, natural balsa wood sheets were employed as substrate for dispersing and shaping ZIF-8 particles. By in situ growth method, ZIF-8 layer was coated on the aligned wood channels to construct ZIF-8/wood composites with a hierarchical structure. A good affinity and interfacial compatibility between ZIF-8 and wood lumens was observed. The wood channels enable high-speed water transport and the ZIF-8/wood composites were integrated into filtration systems for continuous wastewater treatment. At a 7.9 wt% ZIF-8 loading, the three-layered ZIF-8/wood filter (ZW-2) presented an effective treatable volume of 800 mL of 10 mg L −1 Cu 2+ solution. Moreover, ZW-2 exhibited an excellent recyclability and reusability. Such wood-based composite is renewable, low cost, and holds great potential for practical environmental remediation.

High-entropy materials has achieved much attention in the recent decade years. However, there is few reports on high-entropy MOFs due to the large difference of coordination ability for different metal ions . In this work, high-entropy ZIFs are successfully electrodeposited on the nickel foam substrate under high overpotential, and the effects of potential, electrodeposition time and metal precursor concentration on the morphologies and catalytic activity of deposits are examined. The results indicate that the prepared HE-ZIF is made of nanoparticles with a low crystalline structure, and it shows a high electrocatalytic activities for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) as it possesses an abundance of defects such as vacancy defects , lattice distortions and amorphous structure. The overpotential at the current density of 100 mA cm −2 is 290 mV with good durability in 100 h continuous test for OER in 1 mol L −1 KOH.

Liver fibrosis (LF) is one of the major diseases that threaten human health. Until now, no effective drugs have been approved for clinical anti-liver fibrosis treatment. In this study, zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) lipid nanoparticles loaded with pirfenidone (PFD) and modified with vitamin A (VA) were constructed (VA-PFD@ZIF-8@DMPC NPs). PFD was embedded in ZIF-8 by the “one-pot” method, and the prepared ZIF-8 had a small particle size (84.3 nm) and high drug loading (54.46%). Moreover, the inherent pH sensitivity of ZIF-8 makes it stable in a normal physiological environment and collapsed in an acidic environment, thus controlling drug release and preventing drug leakage. Besides, the phospholipid layer makes the nano-drug delivery system dispersible and improves its biocompatibility . More importantly, VA is modified on the surface of nanoparticles (NPs), which can target the highly expressed retinol-binding protein receptor (RBPR) on the surface of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), thereby accurately increasing the local drug concentration at the site of LF. In vivo experiments showed that VA-PFD@ZIF-8@DMPC NPs can reduce liver injury, improve the degree of LF, and exert specific therapeutic effects on LF. In conclusion, this nano-delivery system may become a novel and effective anti-liver fibrosis treatment.

To address the increasingly severe oil spill accidents and water contamination, the development of super-wetting membranes with high oil/water separation efficiency is in great demand but remains challenging. The critical challenge lies in the rational design and fabrication of robust rough surface with hierarchical micro/nano-structure. In this study, biomimetic super-wetting polyacrylonitrile composite membrane was developed through in-situ synthesis and synchronous integration of zeolitic imidazolate framework nanoleaves (ZIF-Ls). Thorough investigation was conducted to assess the effect of the ZIF-Ls growth time on membrane morphology and surface wetting property. Incorporating the nanoleaf-like ZIF-Ls onto the surface of the membrane provided the surface with micro/nano rough structure and superamphiphilic/superlyophobic features. The prepared membrane showed great separation capability toward various O/W and W/O emulsions, and could be easily regenerated by employing a simple rinsing and drying procedure with high separation efficiency sustained even after multiple separation cycles. Moreover, the membrane with ZIF-Ls demonstrated outstanding catalytic performance in the Knoevenagel condensation. This study achieves advancements in the development of super-wettable membranes with outstanding performance in separating emulsions and the as-prepared membranes have the potential to serve as promising candidates for practical oily mixture treatment.

Abstract One gold nanoparticles (NPs) modified zeolitic imidazolate framework material was prepared from cobalt(II) oxide (Au@ZIF-67). The morphology, elemental composition and colorimetric property of it was characterized by UV–Vis spectrophotometer, field-emission scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope and energy-dispersive spectroscopy. In presence of 20 amino acids making up proteins, the feature absorbance of Au@ZIF-67 solution at 592 nm decreased accordingly only in presence of cysteine (Cys) and kept almost no change whenever added other 19 amino along or mixed together. Therefore, either naked eye and visible spectrometric methods were proposed for Cys detection with detection limits of 0.5 µM and 0.1 µM, respectively. The distinguished color change, short reaction time, high specificity and sensitivity made Au@ZIF-67 a promising visible colorimetric probe for Cys in water. Moreover, the potential mechanism was studied. The result indicated that Au NPs played as a key role. Graphic abstract

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.

This study enhanced the corrosion protection of zinc molybdate (ZnMoO4) in epoxy coatings by integrating ZIF-8 to form a Z-type nano heterojunction. The heterojunction leveraged the light absorption properties of organic ligands within ZIF-8 to significantly promote the excitation and separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers, thereby enhancing the photocathodic protection capability of the coating. It also utilized a cocrosslinking curing process between the epoxy functional groups and the organic functional groups of ZIF-8, resulting in a notable improvement in coating density. Furthermore, the metal–organic framework (MOF) effectively anchored the coating, preventing the recurrence of defects due to molybdate dissolution, thus enhancing durability. In synergy with the molybdate passivation film, it effectively hindered the corrosive attack of ions adsorbed on the metal substrate surface, thereby contributing to the suppression of chemical corrosion. Meanwhile, the compositing of MOF significantly enhanced the hydrophobicity of the material. Experimental data demonstrated that the impedance of the ZIF-8/ZnMoO4 composite coating achieved a remarkable increase to 226.0 and 208.3% compared to pure epoxy and ZnMoO4 coatings, which provided insights into expanding the compatibility and synergistic protective performance of molybdate-based corrosion-resistant materials by constructing heterojunctions between organic and inorganic materials.

In this study, a ZIF-8 thin layer deposited on the surface of a hydrolyzed polyacrylonitrile (HPAN) membrane was used for highly efficient humic acid removal. The thin ZIF-8 layer was synthesized by using a two-step interfacial synthesis method, based on liquid–liquid interfacial coordination polymerization. The formation of a continuous ZIF-8 layers was confirmed by X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy. The effects of the synthesis conditions including reaction time, precursor concentration, and other operating conditions on the ZIF-8 composite membrane performance were studied using humic acid solution as organic waste. The results showed when the reaction time was extended, or when the precursor concentration was increased, the ZIF-8 layer deposited on the membrane surface became denser. Compared with the unmodified HPAN substrate, the composite membrane deposited with the ZIF-8 layer showed better processing ability for organic matters due to the strong electrostatic interaction of organic matter with the ZIF-8@HPAN membrane and the ZIF-8 particles unique structural characteristics, which shows a great application prospect for humic acid treatment compared with other membrane technologies.

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.

ZIF-67 has garnered much attention in the field of photocatalytic water splitting due to the advantages of MOFs and zeolite sieves. However, post-modification and composite strategies have emerged as effective approaches to enhance its photocatalytic performance, particularly in enabling bi-functionality for oxidation-coupled reduction reactions. In this study, 2-mercaptobenzimidazole (MBI) modified ZIF-67 and cadmium sulfide (CdS) composites were prepared to investigate their application in photocatalytic oxidation-coupled hydrogen evolution reactions. The results demonstrated an enhancement in hydrogen production performance over CdS@ZIF-67-MBI, with an increase from 2.39 mmol g−1 h−1 to 4.49 mmol g−1 h−1 upon the introduction of MBI. Moreover, the conversion efficiency of benzyl alcohol reached an improved value of 58.5%. The study findings revealed that the heterogeneous coupling between ZIF-67 and CdS, along with the effective charge transfer facilitated by the anion S, played a decisive role in promoting charge–hole separation of composite materials and improving carrier transport efficiency. This demonstrates the viability of utilizing ZIF-67 in a bifunctional photocatalytic reaction system, thereby paving the way for broader applications of ZIF-67.
