MOFs are usually used as efficient adsorbents to remove specific pollutants in water. However, because of their poor water stability relatively small particle size, their application in adsorbing and removing pollutants from water is limited. In this paper, with nitrile rubber sponge as the substrate, UiO-66-NH 2 /sponge composites were firstly in-situ synthesized and systematically evaluated UiO-66-NH 2 as an adsorbent to remove 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid from water. This composite could not only remain the adsorption capacity for 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid of UiO-66-NH 2 , but also was much more convenient for separation after the adsorption compared to UiO-66-NH 2 . In addition, the mechanism of the adsorption of UiO-66-NH 2 for 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid were discussed in detail. Electrostatic interaction between UiO-66-NH 2 and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid was the main adsorption mechanism. The adsorption was mainly suitable for Langmuir isotherm models, and its maximum adsorption capacity of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid was 72.99 mg g −1 .

Environmental pollution of phosphorus is becoming increasingly concerning, and phosphate removal from water has become an important issue for controlling eutrophication. Modified metal–organic framework (MOF) materials, such as UiO-66-NH 2 , are promising adsorbents for phosphate removal in aquatic environments due to their high specific surface area, high porosity, and open active metal sites. In this study, a millimeter-sized alginate/UiO-66-NH 2 composite hydrogel modified by polyethyleneimine (UiO-66-NH 2 /SA@PEI) was prepared. The entrapping of UiO-66-NH 2 in the alginate microspheres and its modification with PEI facilitate easy separation in addition to enhanced adsorption properties. The materials were characterized by SEM, FTIR, XRD, and BET. Static, dynamic, and cyclic adsorption experiments were conducted under different pH, temperature, adsorbent dosage, and initial concentration conditions to assess the phosphate adsorption ability of UiO-66-NH 2 /SA@PEI. Under optimal conditions of 65 °C and pH = 2, 0.05 g UiO-66-NH 2 /SA@PEI adsorbed 68.75 mg/g, and the adsorption rate remained at 99% after five cycles of UiO-66-NH 2 /SA@PEI. These results suggest that UiO-66-NH 2 /SA@PEI composite materials can be used as an effective adsorbent for phosphate removal from wastewater.

MOFs (metal-organic frameworks) have been widely applied in membrane modifications. In this study, a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane substrate was initially functionalized with one typical MOF, UiO-66-NH 2 , through simple vacuum filtration, followed by the deposition of a trace amount of perfluorohexane (PFHx) sulfonate potassium, successfully preparing a novel composite membrane named UxP1. Incorporating UiO-66-NH 2 onto the hydrophobic PVDF significantly enhances both hydrophilicity and porosity. The trace deposition of PFHx introduced F groups, enhancing the oil-repellent properties of the membrane. The WCA of the U5P1 membrane (5 mg of UiO-66-NH 2 and 1 mg of PFHx) decreased from 68.4° to 25.4°, while the underwater oil contact angle (UWOCA) increased from 139.5° to 150.5°, resulting in a superhydrophilic and oleophobic surface. In oil–water emulsion separation experiments, U5P1 achieved an oil removal rate > 99% at an operating pressure of 0.085 MPa. In filtering wastewater containing Congo Red (CR) dye, the membrane exhibited a rejection > 99% and an impressive permeation flux of 1520 L m −2 h −1 , highlighting its outstanding separation efficiency. Moreover, during cyclic filtration experiments, U5P1 consistently maintained > 95% rejection at 0.085 MPa, and the FRR remained > 81%, demonstrating exceptional fouling resistance and rejection capabilities. This work provides a good basis for the advanced development of MOFs-modified membranes into efficient practical water treatment.

MOF membranes exhibit impressive performance in gas separation due to their large surface area, controllable pore size and unique affinity. Here, the ultrathin UiO-66-NH 2 polycrystalline membranes with thickness of ∼320 nm are successfully prepared within 1 h using a combination of ultrasound-assisted and microwave synthesis strategies. During the reaction, high-density small MOF nuclei are produced by sodium formate ultrasound-assisted, which act as sufficient nucleation sites for heterogeneous nucleation during membrane growth, aiming for development of a continuous MOF membrane on the porous substrate. The obtained UiO-66-NH 2 membrane shows an ideal CO 2 /CH 4 selectivity of 40 due to the enhanced the interaction between CO 2 molecules and the membrane. Moreover, the narrowed pore structure further hinders the diffusion of larger-sized molecules owing to -NH 2 occupying the pore channels, resulting in elevated CO 2 /CH 4 selectivity. Compared to many other MOF membranes, the UiO-66-NH 2 polycrystalline membranes exhibit a well balance of gas permeance and CO 2 /CH 4 selectivity, which presents a new route for CO 2 capture.

A series of Bi 2 Sn 2 O 7 /UiO-66-NH 2 nanoparticles were synthesized by in-situ solvothermal method as efficient adsorption and visible-light-driven photocatalysts for the removal of tetracycline（TC）. Among them, the BUN16 presents excellent adsorption and degradation ability for the TC, which is more than 3.6 times that of monomers . The adsorption-enhanced degradation mechanism of BUN16 nanomaterials was revealed via BET, XPS, Zeta potential , FT-IR, EPR, EIS and kinetic analysis, meanwhile the performance of removing TC decreased slightly after five cycles. The excellent catalytic performance can be attributed to its excellent adsorption capacity and the synergistic effect of the Z-type heterojunction charge transfer mechanism. This work provides a basic principle for the scientific construction of Z-type heterojunction materials with adsorption catalytic function to remove TC in actual wastewater.

A new amine-functionalized UiO-66/organosilica mixed-matrix membrane was fabricated and explored for pervaporation (PV) water desalination . The incorporation of amine-functionalized UiO-66 (UiO-66-NH 2 ) into the BTESE-derived organosilica networks endowed the membrane with enhanced hydrophilicity and dense network structure, leading to an improvement in water flux and NaCl rejection. The UiO-66-NH 2 /BTESE mixed-matrix membrane was proved to be highly effective for desalination of saline water in concentrations from 1 to 13 wt% of dissolved NaCl. Moreover, the membrane exhibited superior structural stability under a continuous PV desalination operation up to 100 h, delivering water permeance of >3.1 × 10 −6 mol m −2 s −1 Pa −1 combined with NaCl rejection of >99.9%. The high water permeance was mainly ascribed to the specific pore structure and the preferential interactions between pore channels and water molecules, and the excellent salt rejection was primarily based on the sieving effect. The proposed UiO-66-NH 2 /BTESE mixed-matrix membranes show great prospects as an alternative for concentrated brine desalination.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are highly crystalline inorganic-organic complexes formed from metal ions or metal clusters and multi-toothed organic ligands. MOFs have great potential for use in antibacterial materials in the biological, environmental, and food antimicrobial fields. They can act as a reservoir of metal ions, releasing them gradually and leading to a sustained antibacterial effect analogous to that proposed for metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs). Herein, UiO-66-NH2as a type of MOF was first prepared by a facile solvothermal method and then loaded with Ag NPs to form a Ag/UiO-66-NH2composite and the different materials were synthesized by controlling silver doping amount, which are then applied to an antibacterial test. Works on the synthesis of Ag/UiO-66-NH2and its antibacterial test were not reported before. The synthesized materials were characterized using the field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques. The antibacterial activity of the Ag/UiO-66-NH2was then assessed againstE. coli(gram-negative bacteria) and Staphylococcus aureus (gram-positive bacteria), using the inhibition zone (ZIO) method and optical density (OD) method. The obtained results have shown that the introduction of Ag does not interfere with the crystallization of UiO-66-NH2. The FT-IR spectral profiles recorded for the UiO-66-NH2samples fabricated under conditions of varying silver ion doping levels are similar to those recorded for UiO-66-NH2. The thermal stability of UiO-66-NH2containing varying amounts of silver ions was lower than the thermal stability of UiO-66-NH2. However, under these conditions, the specific surface area and pore volume increased. The antibacterial performance of UiO-66-NH2improved significantly following the process of silver ion doping. The best antibacterial performance was observed when the silver ion content was 4 wt.%. Overall, we synthesized a new nanocomposite material with broad-spectrum bacterial sterilization, which was easy to manufacture.Keywords:silver;metal-organic frameworks;UiO-66-NH2;antibacterial properties

In this article, a core–shell CuPd@UiO-66-NH2 composite material was synthesized by a double-solvent reduction method, and an N2H4 electrochemical sensor based on CuPd@UiO-66-NH2 was constructed. The relationship between the morphology, type, composition, size of the sensor interface composite material and its electrocatalytic performance and sensor response performance was studied, and a new method for detecting N2H4 was established. The surface properties and composition of the materials were studied by transmission electron microscope(TEM),energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDX) and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy(XRD). The results showed that the synthesized CuPd@UiO-66-NH2 has a regular 3D structure, particle dispersion, and uniform particle size, the particle size is about 90 nm. Electrochemical performance studies showed the sensor is made into detecting N2H4 in a linear range of 0.25 μM ∼ 1.39 mM, with a sensitivity of 386.7 μA·mM−1·cm−2, and a detection limit of 0.08 μM(S/N = 3). Compared with other electrochemical sensors based on metal nanoparticles to detect N2H4, the new sensor exhibited a wider linear range; and its sensitivity was 3 times of that obtained by the Cu-BTC/OMC/GCE. So, the sensor can be used as a potential sensing material to detect hydrazine.

In this study, Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-8 (ZIF-8)-loaded UiO-66-NH2was synthesized, characterized, and analyzed for its potential to efficiently remove dyes. The selective adsorption on ZIF-8-loaded UiO-66-NH2or its parent MOFs (UiO-66-NH2and ZIF-8) in the mixed dyes solution was explored, including anionic dye (methyl orange (MO)) and cationic dyes (methylene blue (MB) and rhodamine B (RhB)). ZIF-8-loaded UiO-66-NH2displayed much better selectivity to MB than its parent MOFs. Adsorption capacity of ZIF-8-loaded UiO-66-NH2(173 mg/g) toward MB was found to be 215% higher than UiO-66-NH2(55 mg/g). A kinetics study based on adsorption data demonstrated that the adsorption process most closely matched with the model of pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm. The adsorption was an exothermic and spontaneous physical process as revealed by the values of thermodynamic parameters. Furthermore, reusability of ZIF-8-loaded UiO-66-NH2was investigated and revealed the significant regeneration efficiency in adsorption capacity for MB even after four adsorption cycles. Experimental results proved that the interaction between ZIF-8-loaded UiO-66-NH2and MB was mainly affected by the mechanism, for instance, electrostatic interaction as well as π–π stacking interactions.Keywords:ZIF-8;UiO-66-NH2composites;metal-organic frameworks;selective adsorption

Converting the salinity gradient between seawater and river water into osmotic energy is one of the direct and effective ways to alleviate the energy crisis. High selectivity and permeability are two contradictory aspects in the design of composite membranes , and balancing the relationship between the two is the key to achieving efficient osmotic energy harvesting . Herein, a series of heterogeneous membranes consisting of UiO-66-NH 2 intercalated with poly (sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) and anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) were designed to enhance the osmosis power generation capacity. The asymmetry of pore size, surface charge, and wettability of the composite membrane makes it behavior like a diodes-like ionic current rectification (ICR). The addition of PSS changes the ion selectivity and permeability of the composite membrane, thus enhancing the energy harvesting performance. The maximum power density of 6.32 W/m 2 is obtained under a 50-fold salinity gradient, which is 4.94 times that of the original composite membrane. This study provides a reasonable preparation strategy for functionalized MOF-based composite membranes for ion transport and efficient osmotic energy conversion.

As enantiomers can have different pharmacological and toxicological impacts even though they have the analogous chemical composition, efficient chiral separation is crucial. Chromatography is one of the primary methods for separating enantiomers, and the key to chromatographic separation lies in the chiral stationary phase (CSP). Chiral porous materials have emerged as innovative chiral stationary phases and garnered extensive attention. Zr based MOF materials, have been regarded as one of the most stable metal–organic framework (MOF) materials. In this paper, after grafting with L-proline, UiO-66 was used for the first time for chiral gas chromatography separation. The newly developed CSP provided high resolution for xylenes within only 2–3 min. For substances like linalool, α-pinene, and xylenes, the UiO-66-NH 2 -L-Pro–coated capillary column acquired bas3ic resolution and showed outstanding enantiomeric and positional isomer isolation. Comprehensive characterizations, including SEM, XRD, FT-IR, TGA, N 2 adsorption–desorption isotherms, CD spectra, and XPS, were conducted to analyze the material stucture and chiral recognition mechanism. The chiral separation relies on transient diastereomeric complexes formed between L-proline and enantiomers, stabilized by hydrogen bonding, intermolecular forces, and steric constraints within UiO-66's micropores. These interactions enforce enantioselective discrimination via the pore's stereochemical filtering, enabling chiral resolution. This study is expected to provide significant value for both chromatographic chiral separation and large-scale chiral substance separation.

A hybrid polymer–MOFs architecture UiO-66-NH2@PMAA was synthesized by tethering polymethacrylic acid (PMAA) onto the surface of the metal–organic frameworks UiO-66-NH2, and it was further employed for pectinase immobilization by electrostatic interactions. The hybrid architecture was prepared through a combination of atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), click chemistry and postsynthetic modification (PSM). The optimal immobilization parameters were at 25 °C and pH 4.0 with 10 U/mL of pectinase for 2 h, under which pectinase showed the highest enzymatic activity (1.215 U/mg) and protein loading (448.5 mg/g), respectively. Compared with free pectinase, the immobilized was found to exhibit higher pH, thermo, and storage stability. Additionally, the immobilized pectinase had remarkable reusability, the residual activity reached as high as 81% after 8 cycles continuously. Meanwhile, the desorption of immobilized pectinase can be achieved by changing pH values of the medium. Obviously, the UiO-66-NH2@PMAA with attractive properties is highly promising for enzyme immobilization.
