Efficient electrochemical advanced oxidation processes (EAOPs) based on carbon catalysts are highly promising candidates for green environmental remediation technologies. Wood derived N-doped porous carbon (WNPC) was prepared the balsa wood with in-situ growth of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) was used as precursor. WNPC acted as self-supporting electric Fenton cathode with high yield and selectivity (96 %) of in-situ H 2 O 2 generation, which effectively avoided the use binder for powder material. Owing to abundant N-doping and oxygen functional groups, the H 2 O 2 yield of WNPC was three times that of balsa wood derived carbon (WC) in electro-Fenton system. The graphite-N promoted the electron transfer, while the pyridinic-N could enhance the selectivity of the 2e-ORR for H 2 O 2 generation. Furthermore, the specific surface area of WNPC was 10 times of WC, with improved hydrophilicity and accelerated electron transfer. The removal efficiency of tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) achieved 91 % within 120 min in electro-Fenton system with WNPC and Fe 2+ , which was much higher than that with WC (63 %). Free radical scavenging and electron paramagnetic resonance experiments confirmed that ·OH and O 2 – · were the main active substances for TC degradation in electro-Fenton system. In addition, WNPC has good stability, reusability, and comparable degradation performance of various organic pollutants, and also had efficient degradation performance with actual water. This research proposed a novel strategy to construct efficient electro-Fenton catalyst with wood as precursor, which provides an advancing electrocatalytic methods to achieve efficient and environmentally conscious water purification.

The development of growth factor-free biomaterials for bone tissue regeneration with anti-infection and anti-inflammatory activities remains challenging. Black phosphorus nanosheets (BPNs), with distinctive attributes, including photothermal conversion and calcium ion chelation, offer potential for use in bone tissue engineering and infection prevention. However, BPNs are prone to oxidation and degradation in aqueous environments, and methods to stabilize BPNs for long-term bone repair remain insufficient. Herein, zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) was used to stabilize BPNs via in situ crystallization onto the surface of BPNs (BP@ZIF-8 nanocomposite). A novel injectable dual-component hydrogel comprising gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) and methacrylate-modified hyaluronic acid (HAMA) was used as a BP@ZIF-8 nanocomposite carrier (GelMA/HAMA/BP@ZIF-8). The BP@ZIF-8 nanocomposite could effectively protect internal BPNs from oxidation and enhance the long-term photothermal performance of the hydrogel in both in vitro and in vivo settings. The GelMA/HAMA/BP@ZIF-8 hydrogel was injectable and exhibited outstanding performance for photothermal conversion, mechanical strength, and biodegradability, as well as excellent photothermal antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli in vitro and in an in vivo rat model. The GelMA/HAMA/BP@ZIF-8 hydrogel also provided a microenvironment conducive to osteogenic differentiation, promoting the transformation of M2 macrophages and inhibiting inflammatory responses. Furthermore, the hydrogel promoted bone regeneration and had a synergistic effect with near-infrared irradiation in a rat skull-defect model. Transcriptome sequencing analysis revealed that the PI3K-AKT- and calcium-signaling pathways may be involved in promoting osteogenic differentiation induced by the GH-BZ hydrogel. This study presents an innovative, multifaceted solution to the challenges of bone tissue regeneration with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, providing insights into the design of smart biomaterials with dual therapeutic capabilities.

Rapid industrialization poses a serious threat to the balance of ecosystems and environmental sustainability, and the application of membrane technology is an effective way to alleviate this situation. Two-dimensional (2D) MXene nanosheets are superior materials for constructing high-performance separation membranes, but their biggest drawback is that they are prone to agglomeration. After alkalizing them, the obtained alkaline MXene (TCOH) nanosheets have hydroxyl-rich surfaces, stabilized structure and great affinity for CO 2 . Based on this, a self-supported TA-ZIF-8/TCOH@Pebax mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) with block polymer Pebax-1657 as matrix and TA-ZIF-8/TCOH as composite filler were prepared in this work. ZIF-8 was modified with tannic acid (TA) to enrich the surface with hydroxyl groups, yielding TA-ZIF-8 that is both pro-CO 2 and well interfacially compatible. The using of TA-ZIF-8 not only improves the selectivity of the separation membrane, but also its mutually repulsive electrostatic force with TCOH can expand the layer spacing of TCOH nanosheets as much as possible, which leads to a rich gas transportation channel of the membrane. Experiments have shown that the prepared TA-ZIF-8/TCOH@Pebax MMM had outstanding separation performance beyond the 2019 Robinson upper bound when the content of TA-ZIF-8 was appropriate. Also, the TA-ZIF-8/TCOH@Pebax MMM showed superior thermal stability, durability and mechanical properties. In summary, the strategy of combining nanoparticles and nanosheets as composite fillers in this study provides an effective way to regulate the low permeance of MMMs. In the meantime, the application of TCOH provides a novel idea for further research on gas separation membranes.

In this study, a novel C-ZIF-8@Fe/REEs composite, fabricated from one-step pyrolysis using ZIF-8@Fe adsorbed with rare earth elements (REEs) as precursors was successfully used to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for efficient oxidation of Bisphenol A (BPA). The as-prepared C-ZIF-8@Fe/REEs exhibited high PMS activation performance, with an BPA removal efficiency exceeding 95 % within 120 min. Characterizations revealed that the REEs introduction increased the exposure of active sites, and facilitates the electron transfer. Electron paramagnetic resonance analysis and quenching tests confirmed that both radical (·OH, ·SO 4 − ) and non-radical ( 1 O 2 , high-valent metals, and electron transfer) pathways were involved in BPA degradation. Reasonable BPA degradation pathways were proposed by analyzing the results of LC-MS and DFT calculations. Additionally, toxicity assessments demonstrated a significant reduction in the toxicity of degradation products. Finally, the synthesized composite exhibited excellent reusability and stability in real wastewater fixed column bed experiments, with the removal efficiency still be higher than 70 % after 11 h operation. These findings demonstrate that the recovery REEs from mining wastewater is an effective strategy in developing a highly efficient Fenton-like catalysts, and also highlight the promising role of using C-ZIF-8@Fe/REEs in wastewater treatment, particularly for the removal of organic contaminants.

We demonstrate herein the ZIF-8-only-mediated catalysis of the cyclodimerization of epichlorohydrin to 2,5-bis(chloromethyl)-1,4-dioxane in the absence of co-catalyst and solvent. The easy handling and economic aspects of ZIF-8, in addition to the one-step reaction to produce the cyclodimer, make this catalyst attractive even for industry. It has been clearly illustrated that the nature of the method used to synthesize ZIF-8 affected the yields of the cyclodimers. Specifically, the method employed to produce ZIF-8 directly influences the amount of crystal structural defects, which in turn impacts their performance as catalysts. To emphasize the role of defects, other physical properties, such as surface area and particle size, were controlled during the synthesis of the ZIF-8 catalysts. Remarkably, the amount of structural defects was quantified by temperature program desorption analysis. Graphical A straightforward one-step cyclodimerization of epichlorohydrin using ZIF-8 as catalyst in the absence of solvent or co-catalyst is reported for the first time. It is shown that the nature of the method used to synthesize ZIF-8 strongly affects the yield of the cyclodimeric product. The acidic and basic properties of the ZIF-8 samples were determined by temperature program desorption analysis.

Airborne particulate matter (PM) pollution poses a serious threat to public health and the environment, underscoring the urgent need for advanced air filtration membranes that combine high efficiency with environmental sustainability. Although polylactic acid (PLA) nanofiber membranes (NFMs) are a promising eco-friendly potential, their electret instability and rapid performance decay limit practical application in air filtration. Inspired by the efficient predation mechanism of corals, we developed coral-like ZIF-8/PLA NFMs featuring a unique “skeleton-tentacle” architecture via controlled in situ secondary growth. This method enables precise regulation of ZIF-8 crystal size and distribution, maximizing active site exposure while preserving inter-fiber pores. The resulting ZIF-8/PLA NFMs exhibit a synergistic “electrostatic-adsorption, physical-interception, and chemical-interaction” capture mechanism, achieving a stable PM filtration efficiency of >99.78% over 2 h with only a moderate increase in pressure drop (from 155 to 217 Pa). The quality factor ( Q F ) reached 0.028 Pa −1 , which is 12 times higher than pure PLA NFMs. Moreover, the membranes also demonstrated excellent gas permeability (1214 m 3 ·m −2 ·h −1 ·kPa −1 ) and mechanical strength (4.0 MPa). In addition, the sterilization rates of ZIF-8/PLA NFMs against both E. coli and S. aureus reached 99.99%, indicating outstanding antibacterial performance. This work not only provides a high-performance, low-resistance, and sustainable air filtration membrane but also establishes a versatile biomimetic paradigm for integrating MOFs onto biodegradable polymers, thereby offering a promising route toward next-generation green filtration media.

Copper metal is prone to corrosion in aggressive environments, which poses a significant challenge to the long-term reliability. Herein, we report a self-healing slippery anticorrosion coating constructed on copper substrate. First, ZIF-8 with an ordered porous architecture was grown in situ by electrodeposition and used as a micro/nanoscale lubricant reservoir. ZIF-8 film was subsequently modified with thiol molecules to lower the surface energy for realizing superhydrophobicity. Finally, dimethyl silicone oil was infused into the thiolated ZIF-8 framework to form a ZIF-8-based slippery liquid-infused porous surface (SLIPS). Electrochemical measurements reveal that |Z| 0.01 Hz is 4.01 × 10 8 Ω·cm 2 . After being immersed in NaCl solution for 336 h, the SLIPS preserves |Z| 0.01 Hz close to 10 7 Ω·cm 2 . Even after pronounced mechanical scratching, |Z| 0.01Hz still remains high value. Anti-icing tests further revealed a low ice-adhesion strength of 113 ± 2 kPa, nearly one-sixth that of untreated copper (628 ± 7 kPa). These results demonstrate that the ZIF-8-based SLIPS provides high corrosion resistance, self-healing capability, and anti-icing performance, offering a robust barrier for long-term protection of copper-based materials in harsh corrosive environments.

Although micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coatings improve the mechanical properties of titanium alloys, their porous structural defects tend to act as pathways for corrosive agents and as adhesion sites for contaminants. In this study, a superhydrophobic coating was developed on TC-4 titanium alloy by combining in-situ hydrothermal synthesis of ZIF-8 with POTS surface modification, thereby forming a rough surface with low surface energy. The POTS/ZIF-8@MAO composite coating exhibits strong adhesion to the substrate through both physical and chemical bonding. Consequently, it demonstrates excellent chemical and thermal stability, maintaining a water contact angle (WCA) of 156.53° ±2.47° and a sliding angle (SA) of 6.32° ±1.16° even under extreme conditions. Due to its low water adhesion, the coating demonstrates significant self-cleaning ability against both solid and liquid contaminants. Electrochemical analysis reveals that it improves corrosion inhibition by up to 99% compared to pristine MAO-treated titanium alloy, providing an effective protective barrier for the substrate. This work proposes a promising strategy that may potentially expand the application scope of titanium alloys.

A sensitive electrochemical sensor was proposed for neohesperidin dihydrochalcone (NHDC) detection using copper oxide/ zinc imidazole framework 8@ carbon nanotubes modified glassy carbon electrode (CuO/ZIF-8@CNTs GCE). The multi-component CuO/ZIF-8@CNTs GCE was prepared by two-step drop-casting method and characterized by Field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The effective combination of CuO and ZIF-8@CNTs enhanced the electron transfer and catalytic activity of the electrode and greatly strengthened the oxidation current of NHDC, which was about 5.6-fold that of the CuO GCE and 2.3-fold that of the ZIF-8@CNTs GCE. Inspired by this, the CuO/ZIF-8@CNTs GCE was used for NHDC detection and some crucial parameters were optimized. The reaction mechanism at CuO/ZIF-8@CNTs GCE was confirmed to involve two-step two-electron process by cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements. Finally, the sensor achieved NHDC detection ranging from 0.03 to 10 μM using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) technique, with a detection limit of 16.0 nM. The satisfactory recoveries of 92.9–107.8 % in liquor samples also demonstrated its practicability in actual samples, matching well with that of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). This work not only designs a simple detection method for NHDC but also opens up a paradigm for leveraging multi-component MOF composite electrode materials for food safety monitoring.

This study presents a facile one-pot hydrothermal strategy for the in-situ growth of a layered double hydroxide and ZIF-8 composite coating on anodic aluminum oxide. The synthesis temperature was optimized within the range of 110–130 °C, which enables the synchronous formation of a uniform and well-interlocked LDH/ZIF-8 microstructure. Subsequent modification with stearic acid (SA) effectively imparts hydrophobicity to the coating, yielding a water contact angle of 136.4 ± 0.10°. The obtained LDH/ZIF-8@SA coating exhibits remarkable anti-icing performance, delaying ice nucleation and complete freezing of a water droplet at -15 °C by 93% and 45%, respectively, compared to the bare AAO substrate. Electrochemical tests demonstrate excellent corrosion resistance, with the SA-modified coating showing a corrosion current density of 1.413 × 10 -9 A·cm -2 after 3 days of immersion, and a charge-transfer resistance up to 1.362 × 10 8 Ω·cm 2 after 14 days of immersion in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution. Moreover, the coating possesses a low friction coefficient of 0.318 ± 0.045. Density functional theory calculations were performed to elucidate the interfacial bonding mechanism among ZIF-8, SA and LDH.

Osteomyelitis is a devastating bone disease caused by bacterial infection, the treatment of which remains challenging due to bacterial biofilm formation and impaired bone regeneration. The development of an integrated therapeutic platform capable of locally filling bone defects, enabling controlled drug release and modulating the infectious microenvironment is of crucial importance. This study constructed an injectable self-healing hydrogel based on Schiff base bonds for pH-triggered delivery of ZIF-8-loaded curcumin, aiming to achieve synergistic therapy for osteomyelitis. Curcumin-encapsulated zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 nanoparticles were synthesized via a one-pot method and embedded into an oxidized starch–gelatin hydrogel network formed by dynamic Schiff base crosslinking, yielding the composite hydrogel. Systematic characterization revealed that the ZIF-8@Cur nanoparticles exhibited a well-defined rhombic dodecahedral structure, high crystallinity and a curcumin encapsulation efficiency of 85%. The composite hydrogel demonstrated excellent injectability, rapid self-healing behavior and remarkable pH-responsive drug release: under the acidic condition mimicking an infectious microenvironment (pH 5.5), the cumulative release over 72 h reached 85%, significantly higher than the 25% observed at physiological pH 7.4. In vitro antibacterial assays confirmed its potent broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria ( > 98% inhibition). More importantly, the system effectively promoted macrophage polarization from pro-inflammatory M1 to anti-inflammatory and reparative M2 phenotypes while exhibiting good biocompatibility. This study successfully developed an intelligent responsive injectable hydrogel delivery system integrating efficient antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory functions, offering a promising strategy for the comprehensive local treatment of osteomyelitis.

CA15–3 is a vital biomarker for monitoring and evaluating treatment efficacy in breast cancer patients, especially those with advanced-stage disease. Conventional immunoassays face limitations, including high cost, limited sensitivity, and dependence on potentially error-prone single-fluorescence signal outputs. To address these challenges, we designed a dual-signal-emitting sensor based on CdTe quantum dots@ZIF-8 nanomaterials, incorporating both the CRISPR/Cas12a system and catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) technology. The binding of CA15–3 to its specific aptamer inhibits the CHA cascade reaction, thereby preventing the generation of double-stranded DNA activators necessary to initiate Cas12a-mediated trans-cleavage activity. As a result, FAM-ssDNA is extensively adsorbed onto the CdTe QDs@ZIF-8 surface, where efficient electron transfer effectively quenches its fluorescence. The incorporation of the aptamer facilitates dual-signal amplification through both the CHA and CRISPR/Cas12a systems, achieving a detection limit of 0.131 U/mL. This dual-signal output mechanism provides the system with an internal reference function, thereby significantly improving the reliability of the results. Overall, this work establishes a novel tumor biomarker detection platform that combines high sensitivity with excellent robustness.
