Background: Chronic diabetic wounds remain a major clinical challenge due to persistent ischemia, oxidative stress, and impaired angiogenesis. Injectable hydrogels capable of adapting to irregular wound beds and delivering bioactive cues offer promising therapeutic potential for enhancing tissue regeneration.Methods: We developed a multifunctional injectable hydrogel by incorporating cinnamaldehyde-loaded ZIF-8 nanoparticles (CA@ZIF-8) into a gallic acid–grafted gelatin (GGA) matrix, followed by transglutaminase-mediated crosslinking. The physicochemical characteristics, drug release behavior, and mechanical performance of the CA@ZIF-8/GGA hydrogel were systematically evaluated. In vitro assays using human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were conducted to assess cytocompatibility and angiogenic activity. A full-thickness skin wound model in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats was employed to evaluate in vivo wound healing efficacy and biocompatibility.Results: The CA@ZIF-8/GGA hydrogel exhibited favorable injectability, enhanced mechanical strength, and sustained release of both cinnamaldehyde and Zn2+. In vitro, the hydrogel significantly promoted HUVEC proliferation, migration, and tube formation, accompanied by upregulated expression of CD31 and VEGF. In vivo, CA(0.6)@ZIF-8/GGA-treated wounds demonstrated accelerated closure, enhanced granulation tissue formation, increased neovascularization, and re-epithelialization compared with control groups. No histological abnormalities were observed in major organs, indicating good systemic biocompatibility.Conclusion: This study presents an injectable CA@ZIF-8/GGA composite hydrogel that effectively promotes angiogenesis and diabetic wound regeneration. The synergistic integration of MOF-based controlled release and polyphenol-enhanced bioactivity highlights its potential as a clinically translatable platform for chronic wound management.

N-doped porous carbon material (N-PC) was generated through high-temperature cracking, using ZIF-8 as a template, and preparation of Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 2 F 3 /N-PC composites were designed and prepared as cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries, and the electrochemical sodium storage performance was systematically investigated. The physical characterization results showed that the addition of N-PC played a role in increasing the electrical conductivity of Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 2 F 3 material and improving the specific surface area. The electrochemical test results showed that the discharge specific capacity of Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 2 F 3 /N-PC composite was 109.56 mAh/g at 0.1C, and the capacity retention rate was 85.10 % after 100 cycles, and the R SEI of Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 2 F 3 /N-PC composite (81.55 Ω) is better than that of Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 2 F 3 pure-phase material (142.5 Ω), which indicates that the ion transfer impedance of the modified material has been effectively reduced, and the ion de-embedding is more fluent.

Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) is widely used as precursor for carbon-supported single-metal-atom catalysts (M–N–C), but typically yields amorphous carbon with poor stability in proton-exchange-membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). Traditional methods would lose active site density while increasing the graphitization degree. Here, this study reports that ultra-small nano ZIF-8 can produce graphene-nanostacks-based Fe–N–C that has improvements on both activity and stability. First, anti-sintering nanoporous ZIF-8 (nano-ZIF8) particles are synthesized with unit size of 8 nm (the smallest so far) using a destruction-reconstruction strategy. In situ microscopy reveals that the volatilization of Zn has a decisive effect on the graphitization degree of ZIF-8 and such process is size-dependent. Nano-ZIF8 particles have completed Zn volatilization before graphitization process beginning, leading to graphene nanostacks. These nanostacks preferentially host edge-type FeN 4 sites, which have doubled intrinsic activity and much improved stability compared with conventional Fe−N−C. In PEMFC, the catalyst achieves an activity of 48.5 mA cm − 2 @0.9V iR -free , meeting the US Department of Energy 2025 activity target. In addition, quantitative analysis of active site density is conducted in PEMFC for the first time using nitrite stripping voltammetry. The unique graphitization behavior of nano-ZIF8 paves a new avenue for advancing M–N–C catalysts.

As an efficient and easily available pesticide, imidacloprid (IM) has been widely used in agriculture to kill pests. However, threats to the ecological environment are becoming increasingly prominent, caused by abuse and pesticide residues. This paper reports a sensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor based on upconverting nanoparticle functional zeolite imidazolate framework (UCNPs@ZIF-8) nanocomposites combined with molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) to successfully achieve the quantitative detection of IM. The composites exhibited a certain multi-faceted prismatic structure and the effective binding of UCNPs was demonstrated by characterization technology. In addition, a sensor with MIPs/UCNPs@ZIF-8/GCE as the working electrode exhibited outstanding ECL performance, including a strong and stable signal and excellent selectivity under optimal conditions. This sensor showed a good linear response to IM over a wide concentration range (0.1 ng L−1–1 mg L−1), with a limit of detection as low as 0.01 ng L−1. More significantly, it was successfully applied to the determination of IM concentration levels in food, which provides broad application prospects for the construction of pesticide ECL sensors.

Poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) is a promising material in oral repair and orthopedic implantation field due to its stability and proper elastic modulus. However, the lack of simple but effective strategy to functionalize PEEK and improve its antibacterial function hinders its further biomedical application. In this study, a sulfonated 3D porous PEEK is fabricated via sulfonation treatment, and then decorated with the in situ synthesized zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8), in which Ag + ions were loaded with high loading capacity. Surface morphology, roughness, chemical composition and hydrophilicity of all the substrates were evaluated in details, suggesting Ag + ions loaded ZIF-8 on sulfonated PEEK (SPZA) was successfully prepared. The antibacterial activity of pristine and functionalized PEEK was evaluated by inhibition zone test, spread plate assay, growth curve, and morphology of bacteria. Experimental results demonstrate that the SPZA has effectively bacteriostatic performance against Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) and Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ). The excellent antimicrobial activity is attributed to the synergistic effect of Ag + and Zn 2+ ions released continuously from SPZA. This work provides a promising route for surface modification of PEEK and offer a potential candidate for biomedical implants.

Emerging pervaporation technology is very promising to realize clean and renewable bioethanol recovery from biomass fermentation broth. The huge challenge of this technology is the need for a pervaporation membrane with high separation performance. Based on the solution-diffusion mechanism, pervaporation membrane for ethanol recovery should possess hydrophobic selective layer to improve sorption ability toward ethanol molecules, thereby enhancing the separation performance. In this study, a superhydrophobic zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) layer with a nano-level bud-like surface morphology was grown on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) composite membrane via ZIF-8 particle dip-casting, secondary seeded growth, and hydrophobic modification by n-octadecylphosphonic acid for highly efficient ethanol/water separation. The mole ratio of 2-methylimidazole and zinc nitrate (Hmim/Zn 2+ ) in the process of ZIF-8 secondary growth was systematically studied to construct appropriate micro-nano structure on PDMS composite membrane. The resultant optimal composite membrane exhibited a water contact angle of about 163° and an ethanol contact angle of 0°. In addition, it also displayed an outstanding separation factor of 17.4 corresponding to a total flux of 0.64 kg/m 2 h with 5 wt% ethanol aqueous solution at 30 ℃, and thus the superior pervaporation performance to most other reported PDMS-based mixed matrix membranes. The strategy of constructing superhydrophobic layer on PDMS composite membrane may provide a meaningful guidance for preparing high-performance pervaporation membrane for organic recovery from aqueous solution.

Titanium has been applied to implants over the last decades due to its excellent biocompatibility and mechanical properties. However, there are still some drawbacks for titanium and its alloys to overcome. Thus, in this study, a novel electrochemical synthesis process has been developed to fabricate TiO2 nanotube array, hydroxyapatite and rare-earth (La3+) doped ZIF-8 nanoparticle composite coating, which can enhance the antibacterial and anti-corrosion property on the premise of minimizing the biocompatibility loss of titanium implants. Compared with traditional processing methods, electrochemical machining is more time-saving, energy-saving and environment-friendly. Thus, it provides an alternative way to produce medical implants.

Hydroformylation of olefins is one of the most important industrial processes for aldehyde production. Therein, the leaching of active metals for heterogeneous catalysts is an important issue in the hydroformylation reaction, particularly for higher olefins to produce higher alcohols. Here, different Rh/ZnO catalysts with diverse ZnO as a support were investigated and a home-made ZnO50 support was selected to prepare the Rh/ZnO50@ZIF-8 core–shell structure catalyst, which was synthesized by the growth of ZIF-8 with ZnO50 as the sacrificed template to afford Zn source. Compared with the Rh/ZnO50 catalyst, the Rh/ZnO50@ZIF-8 catalyst demonstrated a better cyclic stability in the hydroformylation of 1-dodecene. Combining the experiment and characterization results, it was concluded that the ZIF-8 shell on the Rh/ZnO50 catalyst effectively prevented the leaching of metal Rh into the reaction solution. Moreover, the Rh/ZnO50@ZIF-8 catalyst exhibited good universality for other higher olefins. This work provides a useful guideline for immobilizing the active species in heterogeneous catalysts for the hydroformylation reaction.

Multifunctional cotton fabric holds significant promise for domestic and healthcare applications. A key challenge remains developing sustainable fabrication routes for mechanically durable cotton textiles integrating intrinsic and photothermally amplified antibacterial functions. Herein, we prepared ZIF-8/67-loaded Ag nanoparticles on cotton fabric using in-situ reduction technology (ZIF-8/67-Ag@CCT). Subsequent dip-coating with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) produced ZIF-8/67-Ag@CCT@PDMS, enhancing superhydrophobicity. The modified fabric exhibited exceptional superhydrophobicity (water contact angle: 148.55 ± 0.21°) and UV-blocking capabilities (UPF value: 186). The surface demonstrated excellent self-cleaning properties against dyes and maintained robust stability after 30 washing cycles and immersion in acidic/alkaline solutions (>97.0% antibacterial efficacy retention). Critically, the fabric exhibited excellent biocompatibility, as validated by human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived skin organoid assays showing no adverse effects on cell proliferation, apoptosis, or survival rates. Antibacterial effects originated from the penetration of AgNPs and Ag⁺/Zn²⁺/Co²⁺ ions into bacterial structures, disrupting metabolism via reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. The multifunctional ZIF-8/67-Ag@CCT@PDMS fabric presents a highly promising solution for durable antibacterial medical textiles, offering combined antibacterial activity, exceptional stability, self-cleaning, UV resistance, and biocompatibility.

Doping metal-organic frameworks into the casting solution is a common method for preparing mixed matrix membranes. However, metal-organic frameworks are prone to agglomeration and poor dispersion. This can lead to a decline in membrane performance. To address these issues, this work proposed “co-solvent synthesis and in-situ doping” strategy. In this strategy, N,N-Dimethylformamide, which was also the solvent in the casting solution, was chosen as the synthesis carrier for ZIF-8-NH 2 nanoparticles. The prepared ZIF-8-NH 2 suspension could be directly doped into the casting solution in situ. This process eliminated the drying and pre-dispersion steps. Research showed that with 0.5 wt% ZIF-8-NH 2 , the membrane's hydrophilicity significantly improved, with the water contact angle of 72.5°. The pure water flux reached 229 Lm −2 h −1 . Moreover, the retention rates of Congo Red and NaCl were 97.3 % and 3.5 % respectively, demonstrating excellent dye/salt separation. In particular, the flux recovery rate was maintained at more than 91 %, demonstrating good anti-fouling performance. This work provides a promising technical strategy for the efficient treatment of textile dyeing wastewater and resource recovery.

Lipase immobilization plays a pivotal role in enhancing enzyme stability, reusability, and practical applicability in ligand fishing, a technique used to identify bioactive compounds from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). However, conventional methods often lead to significant activity loss due to suffering from enzyme leakage, conformational distortion, and mass transfer resistance. In this study, we present a dynamic defect-engineering (DDE) strategy within zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) to overcome these limitations. The DDE process enables adaptive formation of transport channels driven by enzyme–framework interactions, facilitating the migration of lipase from surface adsorption to intracrystalline encapsulation. Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) analysis confirmed successful encapsulation, showing a reduced specific surface area of 565.1 m 2 /g for lipase@ZIF-8, indicative of enzyme incorporation within the defect-engineered framework. This structural optimization significantly improved biocatalytic performance, achieving 82 % activity retention and 65 % immobilization yield, compared to 44 % activity retention in conventional in situ encapsulation. Utilizing the preserved catalytic activity, we established a lipase-based ligand fishing platform, which successfully identified 20 potential inhibitors (10 anthraquinones and 10 flavonoids) from Cassiae Semen and Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium using HPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS analysis. Overall, this work demonstrates the effectiveness of the DDE strategy in enhancing lipase immobilization within ZIF-8, offering a robust and efficient platform for the high-throughput screening of lipase inhibitors from natural products and advancing the application of enzyme-based ligand fishing in TCM research.

To address the dual challenges of controlled drug delivery and microenvironment modulation in repairing osteoporotic bone defects, we developed a multifunctional poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA)-based composite fibrous scaffold (PLLA/PDA/ZIF-8@Qu). The scaffold was fabricated via electrospinning, followed by in situ polydopamine (PDA) polymerization to robustly immobilize ZIF-8 nanocarriers loaded with quercetin (Qu) on the fiber surface. The mussel-inspired PDA coating served as an adhesive interlayer between ZIF-8 and PLLA. Additionally, it provided near-infrared (NIR) responsiveness and surface functionalization capability. Under osteoporotic acidic conditions (pH 5.0–6.0), the scaffold exhibited pH-triggered release behavior, ZIF-8 degradation accelerated Zn 2+ release, and cumulative Qu release reached 90 %. Zn 2+ contributed to antibacterial activity, while the PDA coating enabled NIR-driven photothermal/photodynamic synergy, achieving 100 % inhibition against both E. coliand S. aureus. Quercetin (Qu) exerted antioxidant effects via the Nrf2/ARE pathway and promoted macrophage polarization toward the M2 phenotype, thereby ameliorating the local inflammatory microenvironment. In vitro , the scaffold enhanced osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, as indicated by a 2.3-fold increase in alkaline phosphatase activity, a 1.85-fold increase in mineralized nodule formation, and upregulated Runx2 expression. In a rat femoral defect model, the scaffold group at 8 weeks post-implantation showed increased bone mineral density (BMD) from 0.454 to 0.935 g/cm 3 and trabecular number (Tb.N) from 0.694 to 0.923 mm −1 , with the defect largely filled by newly formed bone. Collectively, these results demonstrate that the PDA-enabled, ZIF-8/Qu-integrated PLLA scaffold couples pH-responsive release with antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and pro-osteogenic functions, supporting its potential as a bone repair material responsive to pathological microenvironments.
