Lithium metal, a pivotal element in modern electric vehicles and electronics, necessitates secure and sustainable supply chains. Extracting lithium from brines presents significant challenges, particularly when dealing with high magnesium-to-lithium ratios, due to the nearly identical ionic radii of lithium and magnesium ions. Herein, we propose an innovative strategy for the selective separation of Li + /Mg 2+ by integrating ZIF-8-NH 2 into polyamide membranes through the interfacial polymerization (IP) of polyethyleneimine (PEI) and trimesoyl chloride (TMC). The synthesized PEI@ZIF-8-NH 2 + TMC membranes exhibit an impressive permeation rate for Li + of 0.863 mol m -2 h -1 , alongside a Li + /Mg 2+ selectivity ratio of 33.06. The unique pore structure of ZIF-8-NH 2 and surface chemistry facilitate efficient Li + /Mg 2+ separation, driven by synergistic interactions such as elevated positive surface charges, subnanometer channels, and strong π-π stacking with polyamide layers. These developments are anticipated to augment both the selectivity and durability of MOF-based membranes, providing new directions for research and practical implementations in ion separation technology.

Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is a crucial technology for achieving carbon reduction targets. The key to CCUS technology lies in developing and designing efficient and low-cost CO 2 capture materials. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising CO 2 adsorbents in the field of carbon capture. However, high agglomeration of nanoparticles and high cost have severely hindered the application of MOF-based solid adsorbents. This study employs an in-situ growth method to prepare a novel “corncob-shaped” PHNT@ZIF-8 composite material. During the reaction process, surface modification of halloysite nanotubes (HNT) enhances the interaction between HNT and ZIF-8. The resulting PHNT@ZIF-8 exhibits an enhanced CO 2 adsorption capacity of 1.48 mmol/g. Notably, the functionalized PHNT@ZIF-8 as CO 2 adsorbents demonstrated significant adsorption properties: a high specific surface area of 409.74 m 2 /g, good selectivity in simulated flue gas composition of 15%/85% (CO 2 /N 2 ) (39.1), excellent thermal stability, and superior regenerability. Moreover, PHNT@ZIF-8 adsorbs CO 2 primarily through van der Waals forces, which involve low energy and are easily reversible. After eight adsorption–desorption cycles, CO 2 capacity retention rate remains as high as 93% (1.37 mmol/g). This work enriches the repertoire of solid CO 2 composite adsorbents, providing a novel pathway for enhancing CO 2 adsorption performance.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) derived porous carbons have been demonstrated to have dramatic performance in CO 2 adsorption. Herein, ZIF-8 was initially synthesized in the pores of Chinese white poplar to prepare composites, and then the composites were carbonized into ZIF-8@Poplar porous carbon for CO 2 uptake. The structure and physical-chemical properties of the prepared material were investigated. The results showed that when the molar ratio of metal clusters to organic ligands was 1:4, the synthesized ZIF-8 had small particle size around 150–200 nm and was resistant to 973 K, this confirmed the feasibility for composite of ZIF-8@wood. ZIF-8 was successfully synthesized in situ inside of wood, it suspected combining with wood through hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions, and its content in wood was 12.76 %. The prepared ZIF-8@Poplar porous carbon was an amorphous carbon with BET surface area of 233.772 m 2 /g, pore volume of 0.177 cm 3 /g and the average pore size of 3.024 nm. It had CO 2 capacity of 1.33 mmol/g at 298 K at 1 bar with lower N content (based on XPS patterns), the CO 2 adsorption was conducted from its abundant micropores, which is corroborated by the heat of CO 2 adsorption (34.53 kJ/mol) calculated based on Clausius-Clapeyron equation. Based on Ideal Adsorbed Solution Theory (IAST), it has a good adsorption selectivity of CO 2 over N 2 on a gas mixture containing 10 % CO 2 and 90 % N 2 . In summary, in situ synthesis and co-carbonization provide a strategy for the synthesis of MOFs@wood-derived hard porous carbon for superior CO 2 uptake in industrial applications.

Construction of ultra-thin and defect-free separation membrane on inner surface of hollow fiber supports is significant but challenging for molecular separation. In this study, the highly permeable PDMS@ZIF-8/PVDF composite membranes were successfully fabricated upon the inner-surface of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) hollow fiber membrane for pervaporation (PV) ethanol/water separation. The efficient preparation of hierarchical PDMS@ZIF-8/PVDF composite membranes benefited from the precise regulation of ZIF-8 layer through interfacial synthesis and sequential coating of PDMS matrix. The thickness of the PDMS layer was only 16 ± 2 nm, which admirably eliminated the non-selective defects in ZIF-8 layer. Owning to the optimal combination of MOF layer and ultra-thin polymer layer, the as-prepared membrane exhibited the excellent ethanol flux of 1.34 kg m −2 h −1 with an ethanol concentration in permeate of 31.3 wt% for separating 5 wt% ethanol aqueous solution at 40 °C. The separation performance of the resultant membrane was superior to that of the other ethanol selective PV membranes . These findings herein provided a new way for preparing high-performance hollow fiber composite membranes for PV separation.

Conjugated polymers (CPs) have garnered attention for their tailorable structure properties, particularly in the context of efficient photosynthetic hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production. However, the challenge lies in the precise molecular engineering of CPs to facilitate differing reaction pathways, thereby enhancing H2O2 photogeneration efficiency. In this study, we developed dual-chain CPs (DC-CPs) with a distinctive architecture, employing the supramolecular host cucurbit[8]uril as a "molecular lock" to conjoin two polymer chains. The dual-chain configuration is designed to harbour a central reaction centre conducive to oxygen reduction, providing dual conduction pathways for reactant molecules. The existence of this central reaction center was confirmed through the in-situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) spectroscopy measurements and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. In addition, femtosecond transient absorption (fs-TAS), variable temperature fluorescence spectroscopy and time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) measurements reveal double-stranded structures favourable for carrier transport and reactive site activation between dual polymer chains. Ultimately, DC-CPs demonstrate up to a threefold increase in H₂O₂ production compared to their respective single-chain CPs (SC-CPs). This work adds significantly to the application of CPs for efficient H2O2 photogeneration through molecular engineering strategy.

Benefiting from specific target recognition and trans-cleavage capabilities, the CRISPR/Cas12a system has great application prospects in the design of highly sensitive and rapid fluorescence biosensors. The CRISPR/Cas12a-based fluorophore-quencher molecular beacons exhibit single-color emission and are easily exposed to interference from environmental factors. Herein, we design a CRISPR/Cas12a-derived ratiometric fluorescence sensor for Pb 2+ detection based on embedded carbon dots@zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (CDs@ZIF-8) composites and DNAzyme. The functions of ZIF-8 about encapsulating red emissive CDs in the inner cavity and adsorbing DNA on the outer surface are integrated to establish dual fluorescence signals, thereby reducing the possibility of interference and improving sensing accuracy. The presence of Pb 2+ is converted into the change of activator by the GR5 DNAzyme to activate the CRISPR/Cas12a system, which provides signal amplification through multiple turnovers of side branch cutting, achieving highly sensitive detection of Pb 2+ with a low detection limit of 18 pM. This method has the advantages of simplicity, universality, and excellent quantitative ability, and has broad prospects in sensing applications.

Co-immobilization of laccase and mediator 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) for wastewater treatment could simultaneously achieve the reusability of laccase and avoid secondary pollution caused by the toxic ABTS. Herein, Fe-induced mineralization was proposed to co-immobilize laccase and ABTS into a metal–organic framework (ZIF-8) within 30 min. Immobilized laccase (Lac@ZIF-8-Fe) prepared at a 1:1 mass ratio of Fe2+to Zn2+exhibited enhanced catalytic efficiency (2.6 times), thermal stability, acid tolerance, and reusability compared to free laccase. ABTS was then co-immobilized to form Lac+ABTS@ZIF-8-Fe (ABTS = 261.7 mg/g). Lac@ZIF-8-Fe exhibited significantly enhanced bisphenol A (BPA) removal performance over free laccase due to the local substrate enrichment effect and improved enzyme stability. Moreover, the Lac+ABTS@ZIF-8-Fe exhibited higher BPA removal efficiency than the free laccase+ABTS system, implying the presence of a proximity effect in Lac+ABTS@ZIF-8-Fe. In the successive malachite green (MG) removal, the MG degradation efficiency by Lac@ZIF-8-Fe was maintained at 96.6% at the fifth reuse with only an extra addition of 0.09 mM ABTS in each cycle. As for Lac+ABTS@ZIF-8-Fe, 58.5% of MG was degraded at the fifth cycle without an extra addition of ABTS. Taken together, this research has provided a novel strategy for the design of a co-immobilized laccase and ABTS system for the degradation of organic pollutants.Keywords:laccase;mediator;co-immobilization;MOFs;organic pollutants;biodegradation

This study reports the development of an electrostatic self-assembly surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate based on zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) decorated with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). A seed-mediated growth method was employed to synthesize AgNPs with an average diameter of 30 nm, and a mild synthesis process was used to prepare ZIF-8 nanoparticles with an average diameter of 350 nm. The ZIF-8/Ag nanocomposites have been optimized and characterized using a variety of techniques. As a probe molecule, 4-aminothiophenol was used to evaluate the SERS performance of the ZIF-8/Ag nanocomposites, demonstrating low limit of detection to 8.32 × 10 −8 M, respectively. ZIF-8/Ag nanocomposites also demonstrated good signal reproducibility with a relative standard deviation of 12.5 % for 10 −6 M 4-aminothiophenol. Furthermore, the ZIF-8/Ag nanocomposites have successfully been used to detect 4-mercaptopyridine and the pesticide thiram in laboratory tap water with recoveries ranging from 87 % to 113 %. The ZIF-8/Ag nanocomposites were further investigated for their potential use as SERS substrates for the detection of thiram residues on the surface of apples. A finite difference time-domain simulation was also conducted to investigate the SERS enhancement mechanism of the ZIF-8/Ag nanocomposites.

Bacterial infections seriously retard skin wound healing. To enhance the antibacterial efficiency and subsequent skin regeneration, a core–shell structured therapeutic platform, named FZAM, was designed with multiple antimicrobial pathways. FZAM consists of nanosized Fe3O4 as the core and ZIF-8 loaded with Au nanoparticles (NPs) and maltodextrin as the shell. Fe3O4 and Au NPs form a heterojunction that generates hyperthermia and abundant reactive oxide species (ROS) under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation. This heterojunction also exhibits outstanding peroxidase-like activity. When bacteria invade, maltodextrin plays a targeting effect to increase the interaction between FZAM and bacteria, and with the synergistic action of NIR-induced hyperthermia and ROS as well as Zn2+ from ZIF-8, FZAM kills more than 99% of bacteria at 200 μg mL–1. Fortunately, FZAM is cytocompatible and even promotes the biofunctions of fibroblasts and endothelial cells. In infected skin wound models, FZAM sterilizes bacteria with NIR irradiation and subsequently reduces the inflammatory response and accelerates skin regeneration. This work provides a core–shell structured therapy platform for treating infection with the assistance of NIR irradiation and helping skin wound healing.

Bioaerosol infections containing pathogenic viruses and bacteria have resulted in significant economic losses and posed a serious threat to public health, as evidenced by outbreaks of coronavirus disease and avian influenza. Consequently, the sampling and screening of bioaerosols are crucial for the prevention of bioaerosol-borne diseases. In this study, an ultrasensitive biosensor based on zeolitic imidazolate framework-8-melamine foam (ZIF-8-MF) was innovatively developed for the specific capture and in situ detection of bioaerosols. The bacterial bioaerosols were collected by a wet cyclone into phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) buffer at a high collection rate, achieving a satisfactory collection efficiency of ∼80% within 10 min. The target bacteria collected in the PBS buffer were specifically captured and effectively concentrated using immune ZIF-8-MF. The gold@platinum nanozymes (GPNs) were employed to specifically label the captured target bacteria and efficiently amplify the biological signal. And the resulting colorimetric signal was analyzed via a self-developed smartphone application (App). This biosensor demonstrated the capability to detect bioaerosols containing Salmonella typhimurium in the range of 1.6 × 102–1.6 × 105 CFU/m3 within 1.5 h, with a detection limit as low as 100 CFU/m3. Compared with other bioaerosol detection methods, the biosensor offered advantages such as high collection rate, specific capture, efficient concentration, and in situ detection, positioning it as a highly promising and practical tool for the monitoring of bioaerosols containing diverse pathogenic bacteria.

Self-healing polyurethane (SPU) has important applications in areas such as protective coatings, medical devices and solid lubrication . However, improving the lubricating properties of self-healing polyurethanes to reduce their friction and wear is still an important challenge. Herein, an amphoteric SPU is prepared and used as the solid lubrication matrix. NH 2 -Ti 3 C 2 -ZIF-8 is grown on NH 2 -Ti 3 C 2 in situ to obtain NH 2 -Ti 3 C 2 -ZIF-8 as lubrication additive. The lubrication performance of NH 2 -Ti 3 C 2 -ZIF-8/SPU composites is the best when the NH 2 -Ti 3 C 2 -ZIF-8 content is 1.00 wt%. The coefficient of friction (COF) is only 0.10, and the wear rate is only 1.315×10 −4 mm 3 /(N·m), which are reduced by 80.4 % and 99.4 % respectively compared with single SPU. By exploring the lubrication mechanism, it is found that NH 2 -Ti 3 C 2 -ZIF-8 participated in producing transfer film during friction, and the excellent lubricity and anti-wear effect of NH 2 -Ti 3 C 2 and the unique adsorption and rolling effect of ZIF-8 jointly improved the friction performance of the samples. In addition, the composite material can realize rapid healing within 5 min at 75 %RH, 20℃, the self-healing efficiency can reach 84.7 %. Therefore, the SPU containing NH 2 -Ti 3 C 2 -ZIF-8 has potential applications in the field of solid lubricated materials.

3,5-Dimethyl-8-methoxy-3,4-dihydro-1H-isochromen-6-ol (DMD) is a polyketide compound obtained from the endophytic fungus Penicillium sp. HJT-A-10 of Rhodiola tibetica. R. tibetica is a nourishing food and also used in traditional Chinese medicine and Xizang medicine. In dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis (UC) mice, DMD significantly alleviated the pathological symptom of UC. Network pharmacology studies have shown that nucleotide-binding domain-like receptor family pyrin domain containing (NLRP) 3 is the primary target protein of DMD associated with anti-UC. In molecular biology studies, DMD suppressed the activation of NLRP3 and decreased the expression of downstream inflammatory proteins and pro-inflammatory cytokines in UC. The finding was further verified in knockout mice. DMD lost the effect of attenuating DSS-induced UC in NLRP3–/– mice. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that DMD reduces inflammatory response and balances the barrier integrity to attenuate UC via targeting NLRP3, and DMD is a potential natural agent or dietary supplement for attenuating UC.
