Abstract
Composite structures created from metal‒organic framework (MOF) matrices are reviewed in this work. Depending on the nature of the second component apart from the MOF platform, several synergistic properties may arise; at the same time, the initial features of the single constituent materials are usually maintained, and individual shortcomings are mitigated. Currently, timely energy and environmental challenges necessitate the quest for more advanced materials and technologies. Significant developments in MOF-nanocomposites have enabled their application across a wide range of modern and traditional fields. This review demonstrates in an exhaustive and critical way a broad range of MOF-based nanocomposites, namely, MOF/perovskite nanoparticles (NPs), MOF/metal (non-iron) oxide NPs, MOF/Fe3O4 NPs, MOF/metal chalcogenide NPs, MOF/metal NPs, and MOF/carbon-based materials, as well as nanocomposites of MOFs with other semiconductor NPs. Key points related to the synthesis, characterization, and applications of these materials are provided. Depending on their configuration, the composites under discussion can be applied in domains such as photoelectrochemical sensing, antibiotic/dye degradation, optoelectronics, photovoltaics, catalysis, solar cells, supercapacitors, batteries, water remediation, and drug loading. Sometimes, MOFs can undergo certain processes (e.g. pyrolysis) and act as precursors for composite materials with appealing characteristics. Therefore, a special section in the manuscript is devoted to MOF-derived NP composites. Toward the end of the text, we conclude while also describing the challenges and possibilities for further investigations in the umbrella of material categories analyzed herein. Despite the progress achieved, key questions remain to be answered regarding the relationships among the morphology, properties, and polyvalent activity of these materials. The present work aims to shed light on most of their aspects and innovative prospects, facilitating a deeper comprehension of the underlying phenomena, functionality, and mechanistic insights governing their behavior.

[PMID: 39962146 PMCID: PMC11833085 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-025-89522-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2024] [Accepted: 02/05/2025] [Indexed: 02/20/2025] Open
Abstract
Novel bimetallic-doped-MCM-41(Mobil Composition of Matter No. 41) (Zn/Ni-MCM-41 (ZNM)) and (Zn/Ag-MCM-41 (ZAM)) catalysts were synthesized and characterized for their structural, textural, morphological, and optical properties. XRD analysis confirmed metal incorporation into the MCM-41 framework, while N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms indicated a decrease in specific surface area (1210 in pure MCM-41 to 722.86 and 700.36 m2/g for ZNM and ZAM, respectively) due to partial pore filling. TEM images verified this finding. Boosted absorption extending into the visible light region was detected in the metal incorporated (ZNM and ZAM) samples with additional band gaps, related to transitions in Zn2+, Ag+ and Ni2+ ions. Photoluminescence studies revealed efficient charge carrier separation in ZNM and ZAM. Both catalysts exhibited superior tetracycline (TC) removal from aqueous solution with efficiency (95.59% and 95.30% within one hour for ZNM and ZAM, respectively) with pronouncing visible light photocatalytic capability compared to pure MCM-41. The degradation process followed pseudo-first-order kinetics. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of ZNM and ZAM is attributed to the synergistic effects of metal incorporation, increased light absorption, and efficient charge carrier dynamics. Additionally, a possible photocatalytic mechanism for degradation of TC over ZNM and ZAM has been proposed and involvement of superoxide radicals (O2•-) and holes (h+) as reactive species is elucidated by radical trapping experiments. A distinct pH-dependent trend was observed in TC degradation efficiency using the ZAM photocatalyst. The efficiency gradually increased with increasing pH until reaching a maximum at pH 7, followed by a decline at higher pH values. These results demonstrate the potential of ZNM and ZAM as promising materials for removal of tetracycline antibiotic from water.

Abstract
MOF-801@MXene nanocomposites are introduced as a new solid-phase microextraction coating. This structure was easily prepared by one-pot solvothermal route. The MOF-801@MXene, MOF-801, and MXene were characterized by various analysis techniques such as field emission scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray powder diffraction, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller. The coating was used in the headspace solid-phase microextraction of methadone and tramadol in biological samples. The separation and determination of the analytes were performed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The effective parameters on the extraction efficiency of the analytes, such as extraction time and temperature, desorption time and temperature, salt concentration, and NaOH concentration, were optimized by experimental design method. Under optimal conditions, low limits of detection in the range 0.03-0.15 µg L-1, wide linearity in the range 0.10-250.00 µg L-1, and good reproducibility (RSD = 5.3 to 7.4% for n = 3) were achieved. Under optimal conditions, microextraction of methadone and tramadol was performed in real hair, urine, and plasma samples, and satisfactory results were obtained.

Abstract
The successful development of a metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived Co/Co3O4/C core-shell composite integrated into laser-induced graphitic (LIG) carbon electrodes for electrochemical sensing is reported. The sensors are fabricated via a direct laser scribing technique using a UV laser (355 nm wavelength) to induce the photothermolysis of rationally selected ZIF-67 into the LIG matrix. Electrochemical characterization reveals that the incorporation of the laser-scribed ZIF-67-derived composite on the electrode surface reduces the impedance more than 100 times compared with bare LIG sensors. Comprehensive morphological, structural, and chemical analyses confirm the formation of porous LIG from the laser irradiation of polyimide, while the LIG+ZIF-67-derived composites feature size-controlled and uniformly distributed Co/Co3O4 core/shell nanoparticles (NPs) in the semihollow wasp-nest-like carbon matrix from photothermal decomposition of ZIF-67, embedded within the LIG electrode area. The high surface area and porosity of this ZIF-67-derived nitrogen-rich carbon facilitate charge transfer processes, whereas size-controlled Co/Co3O4 core/shell NPs offer accessible electrochemical active sites, making these LIG+ZIF-67-derived composite-based sensors promising materials for applications requiring high charge injection capability and low electrode/electrolyte interface impedance. The PI+Z67L sensor exhibited a 400 times higher specific capacitance (2.4 mF cm-2) compared to the PIL sensor (6 μF cm-2). This laser scribing approach enables the rapid and cost-effective fabrication of high-performance electrochemical sensors enhanced by the integration of tailored MOF-derived composites.

Abstract
The evolution of bifunctional catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts that are highly active, stable, and conductive is crucial for advancing metal-air batteries and fuel cells. We have here thoroughly explored the OER and ORR performance for a category of two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) called TM3(HADQ)2, and Rh3(HADQ)2 exhibits a promising bifunctional OER/ORR activity, with an overpotential of 0.31 V for both OER and ORR. The d-band center (εd) and crystal orbital Hamilton populations (COHP) are utilized to study the relationship between OER/ORR activity and the electronic structure of catalysts, and it is found that the elementary d-electron number (Ne) of the central TM for TM3(HADQ)2, as well as the electronegativity of the ligand TM-N4 and the intermediate O atom, are the main reason that affects the catalytic activity of OER/ORR. Additionally, Rh3(HADQ)2 can be proven through the constant potential method (CPM) and microkinetics method that it is an acidic OER/ORR bifunctional catalyst. Rh3(HADQ)2 has a high toxicity tolerance, making it a potential bifunctional catalyst. Our research contributes to both the rational design of SACs for various catalytic processes and the fabrication of bifunctional, cost-effective oxygen-electric catalysts.

Abstract
The world is now facing a water scarcity crisis due to waste, pollution, and uneven distribution of freshwater resources, which are limited. Thus, the creation of innovative, economical, and effective methods for purifying water is crucial. Here, the photo-assisted degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye under visible light and UV was achieved by using RGO photocatalyst loaded with Zn0.5Cu0.5Fe2O4 in three different loaded 10%, 20%, and 30% called MRGO 10, MRGO 20, and MRGO 30. Furthermore, all prepared samples was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transformation infrared (FTIR), transmission electron microscope (TEM), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and Raman analysis. After 40 min, the high photocatalytic efficacy effectively eliminated about 95.2% of the 10 ppm MB using 20 mg of MRGO 20 NPs at pH9 Visible light. From the results, the photocatalytic activity of MRGO 20 reduced to 54.6% after five cycles of methylene blue (MB) dye degradation. The produced samples' observed efficacy in both UV and visible light may encourage continued research into more effective photocatalysts for the filtration of water.

Abstract
In the present study, the photocatalytic performance of ZnS/TiO2 nanocomposite was investigated through the photodegradation of Acid Blue 113 (AB113) dye under ultraviolet light exposure. TiO2 and ZnS-based nanocomposites suffer from relatively wide bandgap energy and low adsorption capacity which limit their photocatalytic applications. These problems can be suppressed by modifying the surface of nanocomposite particles by the non-thermal plasma. Herein, surface modification of the ZnS/TiO2 nanocomposite was performed using a dielectric-barrier discharge plasma under nitrogen (N2) and tetrafluoromethane (CF4) gases. The characteristics of the plasma-treated nanocomposites were evaluated by XRD, FTIR, Raman, FESEM, EDS, BET, BJH, and DRS analyses. According to the results, by applying plasma treatment, cation and anion vacancies are produced that reduces the band gap energy of the photocatalyst hence improves its performance. The results indicate that the photocatalytic efficiency of the N2-plasma-treated nanocatalyst has been almost two times higher than that of the untreated ZnS/TiO2. It was found that after 25 min of UV irradiation, the AB113 was almost completely degraded in the presence of N2-plasma-treated ZnS/TiO2 nanocomposite (about 95%), whereas, it was degraded by 64% and 46% in the presence of CF4-plasma-treated ZnS/TiO2 and untreated ZnS/TiO2, respectively. This study presents a new approach to designing cost-effective plasma-treated photocatalysts to degrade organic contaminants in wastewater.

Abstract
Although synthesis and design of MOFs are crucial factors to the successful implementation of targeted applications, there is still lack of knowledge among researchers about the synthesis of MOFs and their derived composites for practical applications. For example, many researchers manipulate study results, and it has become quite difficult to quit this habit specifically among the young researchers Undoubtedly, MOFs have become an excellent class of compounds but there are many challenges associated with their improvement to attain diverse applications. It has been noted that MOF-derived materials have gained considerable interest owing to their unique chemical properties. These compounds have exhibited excellent potential in various sectors such as energy, catalysis, sensing and environmental applications. It is worth mentioning that most of the researchers rely on commercially available MOFs for use as precursor supports, but it is an unethical and wrong practice because it prevents the exploration of the hidden diversity of similar materials. The reported studies have significant gaps and flaws, they do not have enough details about the exact parameters used for the synthesis of MOFs and their derived materials. For example, many young researchers claim that MOF-based materials cannot be synthesized as per the reported instructions for large-scale implementation. In this regard, current article provides a comprehensive review of the most recent advancements in the design of MOF-derived materials. The methodologies and applications have been evaluated together with their advantages and drawbacks. Additionally, this review suggests important precautions and solutions to overcome the drawbacks associated with their preparation. Applications of MOF-derived materials in the fields of energy, catalysis, sensing and environment have been discussed. No doubt, these materials have become excellent class but there are still many challenges ahead to specify it for the targeted applications.

Abstract
Organic transformation by light-driven catalysis, especially, photocatalysis and photothermal catalysis, denoted as photo(thermal) catalysis, is an efficient, green, and economical route to produce value-added compounds. In recent years, owing to their diverse structure types, tunable pore sizes, and abundant active sites, metal-organic framework (MOF)-based photo(thermal) catalysis has attracted broad interest in organic transformations. In this review, we provide a comprehensive and systematic overview of MOF-based photo(thermal) catalysis for organic transformations.

Abstract
ConspectusPhotocatalytic energy conversion is a pivotal process for harnessing solar energy to produce chemicals and presents a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. Key strategies to enhance photocatalytic efficiency include facilitating mass transport and reactant adsorption, improving light absorption, and promoting electron and hole separation to suppress electron-hole recombination. This Account delves into the potential advantages of electrically conductive metal-organic frameworks (EC-MOFs) in photocatalytic energy conversion and examines how manipulating electronic structures and controlling morphology and defects affect their unique properties, potentially impacting photocatalytic efficiency and selectivity. Moreover, with a proof-of-concept study of photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide production by manipulating the EC-MOF's electronic structure, we highlight the potential of the strategies outlined in this Account.EC-MOFs not only possess porosity and surface areas like conventional MOFs, but exhibit electronic conductivity through d-p conjugation between ligands and metal nodes, enabling effective charge transport. Their narrow band gaps also allow for visible light absorption, making them promising candidates for efficient photocatalysts. In EC-MOFs, the modular design of metal nodes and ligands allows fine-tuning of both the electronic structure and physical properties, including controlling the particle morphology, which is essential for optimizing band positions and improving charge transport to achieve efficient and selective photocatalytic energy conversion.Despite their potential as photocatalysts, modulating the electronic structure or controlling the morphology of EC-MOFs is nontrivial, as their fast growth kinetics make them prone to defect formation, impacting mass and charge transport. To fully leverage the photocatalytic potential of EC-MOFs, we discuss our group's efforts to manipulate their electronic structures and develop effective synthetic strategies for morphology control and defect healing. For tuning electronic structures, diversifying the combinations of metals and linkers available for EC-MOF synthesis has been explored. Next, we suggest that synthesizing ligand-based solid solutions will enable continuous tuning of the band positions, demonstrating the potential to distinguish between photocatalytic reactions with similar redox potentials. Lastly, we present incorporating a donor-acceptor system in an EC-MOF to spatially separate photogenerated carriers, which could suppress electron-hole recombination. As a synthetic strategy for morphology control, we demonstrated that electrosynthesis can modify particle morphology, enhancing electrochemical surface area, which will be beneficial for reactant adsorption. Finally, we suggest a defect healing strategy that will enhance charge transport by reducing charge traps on defects, potentially improving the photocatalytic efficiency.Our vision in this Account is to introduce EC-MOFs as an efficient platform for photocatalytic energy conversion. Although EC-MOFs are a new class of semiconductor materials and have not been extensively studied for photocatalytic energy conversion, their inherent light absorption and electron transport properties indicate significant photocatalytic potential. We envision that employing modular molecular design to control electronic structures and applying effective synthetic strategies to customize morphology and defect repair can promote charge separation, electron transfer to potential reactants, and mass transport to realize high selectivity and efficiency in EC-MOF-based photocatalysts. This effort not only lays the foundation for the rational design and synthesis of EC-MOFs, but has the potential to advance their use in photocatalytic energy conversion.

Abstract
In this study, the distribution and toxicity of nanoscale zero valent iron (nZVI) and nZVIs coated with citric acid and sodium tripolyphosphate (CA-nZVI and STPP-nZVI) in mice were investigated. nZVIs were primarily found in the livers and spleens, followed by the lungs, hearts, and kidneys. Histologic analysis revealed no significant histopathologic abnormalities or lesions in all organs except the liver at 14th d gavage. nZVIs did not have a noticeable impact on the body weight of the mice or the weight of their organs. Compared with the control group, there were no significant changes in hematology indexes in the nZVIs groups. However, the nZVIs groups exhibited varying levels of elevation in alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and creatinine, suggesting liver and kidney inflammation in mice. The up-regulation of Nuclear Factor erythroid 2-Related Factor 2 and Heme oxygenase 1 in the nZVIs groups may be a response to nZVIs-induced oxidative stress. Immunohistochemical analysis confirmed the inflammatory response induced by the three nZVI groups. Chelating agents did not have a significant impact on the distribution or toxicity of nZVIs in mice. This study contributes to a comprehensive and detailed insight into nZVI toxicity in the environmental field.

Abstract
Harnessing low-density solar energy and converting it into high-density chemical energy through photocatalysis has emerged as a promising avenue for the production of chemicals and remediation of environmental pollution, which contributes to alleviating the overreliance on fossil fuels. In recent years, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have gained widespread application in the field of photocatalysis due to their photostability, tunable structures, and responsiveness in the visible light range. However, most MOFs exhibit relatively low response to light, limiting their practical applications. MOFs-derived nanomaterials not only retain the inherent advantages of pristine MOFs but also show enhanced light adsorption and responsiveness. This review categorizes and summarizes MOFs-derived nanomaterials, including nanocarbons and nanometal oxides, providing representative examples for the synthetic strategies of each category. Subsequently, the recent research progress on MOFs-derived materials in photocatalytic applications are systematically introduced, specifically in the areas of photocatalytic water splitting to H2, photocatalytic CO2 reduction, and photocatalytic water treatment. The corresponding mechanisms involved in each photocatalytic reaction are elaborated in detail. Finally, the review discusses the challenges and further directions faced by MOFs-derived nanomaterials in the field of photocatalysis, highlighting their potential role in advancing sustainable energy production and environmental remediation.

Photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue using a Cu 2+-modified bimetallic titanium-based metal organic framework (MIL-125) photocatalyst with enhanced visible light activity. Turk J Chem 2024; 48:756-769.

Abstract
Cu-modified TiO2 nanoparticles derived from MIL-125 were prepared by solvothermal method for the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue under visible light illumination. For boosting the photocatalytic performance as well as the physicochemical properties of bare sample, 2 wt % Cu2+ ions were integrated into the nodes of the MIL-125 framework. The results showed that incorporation of 2 wt % Cu2+ ions into the MOF framework had significant effects on the crystallographic structure and morphological and optical properties of photocatalytic samples, as well as catalytic activity for the methylene blue degradation reaction. The high activity profile of Cu-modified TiO2 nanoparticles derived from MIL-125 might be attributed to the increased thermal stability, lower band gap energy, and smaller crystallite size of the sample. Activity tests were carried out at five varying MB initial concentrations and four different pH values. According to the findings, an increase in initial dye concentration resulted in a decrease in degradation efficiency. It was observed that increasing the pH value in the range of 3-11 initially led to higher degradation rates until pH 7, after which the degradation rate began to decline.

Abstract
We propose a feasible and economical method of constructing biomass-based multifunctional photocatalysts with excellent adsorption performance and high photodegradation abilities toward tetracycline (TC) and methyl blue (MB) under visible light. A series of novel hybrids of porous graphitic carbon embedded with Fe2O3/Fe3O4 nanocrystals (denoted as Fe2O3/Fe3O4@C) were derived from lichen doped with different dosages of Fe3+ by calcination at 700°C under a N2 atmosphere. The Fe2O3/Fe3O4@C hybrids exhibited nanoflake-like shapes, mesoporous structures, and efficient visible light harvesting, thus indicating enhanced adsorption ability and photoactivity toward pollutants. The formed Fe2O3/Fe3O4 heterojunction improved the separation efficiency and inhibited the recombination of photogenerated carriers, whereas the carbon network improved the transfer of photogenerated electrons. Under optimised conditions, the Fe2O3/Fe3O4@C-1 hybrid demonstrated enhanced photodegradation efficiencies of 96.4% for TC and 100% for MB under visible light. In addition, electron spin resonance and trapping measurements were performed to identify active species and determine the photocatalytic mechanism toward pollutants. •O2- and •OH were the active species involved, playing critical roles in the TC and MB photodegradation processes. In addition, a bacterium test revealed that the products of TC degradation by Fe2O3/Fe3O4@C-1 showed low biological toxicity. This work provides a promising preparation strategy or biomass-based photocatalysts for application in environmental pollutant treatment.

Abstract
The fast development of Internet of Things and the rapid advent of next-generation versatile wearable electronics require cost-effective and highly-efficient electroactive materials for flexible electrochemical energy storage devices. Among various electroactive materials, binder-free nanostructured arrays have attracted widespread attention. Featured with growing on a conductive and flexible substrate without using inactive and insulating binders, binder-free 3D nanoarray electrodes facilitate fast electron/ion transportation and rapid reaction kinetics with more exposed active sites, maintain structure integrity of electrodes even under bending or twisted conditions, readily release generated joule heat during charge/discharge cycles and achieve enhanced gravimetric capacity of the whole device. Binder-free metal-organic framework (MOF) nanoarrays and/or MOF-derived nanoarrays with high surface area and unique porous structure have emerged with great potential in energy storage field and been extensively exploited in recent years. In this review, common substrates used for binder-free nanoarrays are compared and discussed. Various MOF-based and MOF-derived nanoarrays, including metal oxides, sulfides, selenides, nitrides, phosphides and nitrogen-doped carbons, are surveyed and their electrochemical performance along with their applications in flexible energy storage are analyzed and overviewed. In addition, key technical issues and outlooks on future development of MOF-based and MOF-derived nanoarrays toward flexible energy storage are also offered.

Abstract
Titanium-oxide clusters (TOCs) are well-defined molecular models for TiO2 materials and provide the opportunity to study the structure-activity relationships of TiO2. Here, we report a new Pb-doped TOC, Ti12Pb2, which resembles a two-layer decker of the {TiTi6} structural units of rutile TiO2 with two Ti4+ ions replaced by two Pb2+ ions. Its electronic structure, photoresponse, and photocatalytic performances were investigated and compared with those of the Ti14 cluster, which is isostructural to Ti12Pb2. Our results indicate that Pb2+ does not affect the electronic structure, but it greatly enhances the photocatalytic activity by improving the charge-separation and interfacial charge-transfer properties of the TOC. The successful synthesis of Ti12Pb2 highlights the roles of closed-shell heterometal ions in the construction of new TOCs. Our mechanism may be an inspiration for understanding the structure-activity relationships of closed-shell heterometal-doped TiO2.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are novel crystalline porous materials assembled from metal ions and organic ligands. The adaptability of their design and the fine-tuning of the pore structures make them stand out in porous materials. Furthermore, by integrating MOF guest functional materials with other hosts, the novel composites have synergistic benefits in numerous fields such as batteries, supercapacitors, catalysis, gas storage and separation, sensors, and drug delivery. This article starts by examining the structural relationship between the host and guest materials, providing a comprehensive overview of the research advancements in various types of MOF-functionalized composites reported to date. The review focuses specifically on four types of spatial structures, including MOFs being (1) embedded in nanopores, (2) immobilized on surface, (3) coated as shells and (4) assembled into hybrids. In addition, specific design ideas for these four MOF-based composites are presented. Some of them involve in situ synthesis method, solvothermal method, etc. The specific properties and applications of these materials are also mentioned. Finally, a brief summary of the advantages of these four types of MOF composites is given. Hopefully, this article will help researchers in the design of MOF composite structures.

Abstract
Building Z-scheme heterojunctions with an electron bridge is a favored function for increasing photocatalytic activity. A facile approach for preparing g-C3N4/Ag@AgCl ternary heterojunctions by co-precipitation and photoreduction was established in this work. First, via co-precipitation, AgCl was modified on the surface of g-C3N4 to create a broad contact area between AgCl and g-C3N4. The AgCl is then reduced to Ag via an in-situ photoreduction technique, resulting in the formation of a ternary composite. The experimental results showed that when g-C3N4 modified 25% of the Ag@AgCl, that is, g-C3N4/Ag@AgCl-25 had the best photocatalytic performance, 94.9% of TC was degraded within 240 min, and the reaction rate to TC was 0.1214 min-1, which was 4.49 times and 8.12 times higher than that of g-C3N4 and Ag/AgCl, respectively. The excellent photocatalytic performance of g-C3N4/Ag@AgCl is attributed to the LSPR effect of Ag NPs and O-doping g-C3N4, which broadens the absorbance performance of g-C3N4, the establishment of Z-type heterojunctions between AgCl NPs and g-C3N4 NSs and Ag NPs as an electron transport bridge accelerate the photogenerated electrons transfer between AgCl and g-C3N4.

Abstract
Solar-driven high-efficiency conversion of CO2 with water vapor into high-value-added alcohols is a promising approach for reducing CO2 emissions and achieving carbon neutrality. However, the rapid recombination of photogenerated carriers and low CO2 adsorption capacity of photocatalysts are usually the factors that limit their applicability. Herein, a series of low-cost Z-scheme heterostructures Cu2O/PCN-250-x are constructed by in situ growth of ultrasmall Cu2O nanoparticles on PCN-250. A systematic investigation revealed that there is a strong interaction between Cu2O nanoparticles and PCN-250. The resulting Cu2O/PCN-250-2 exhibits excellent photogenerated carrier separation efficiency and CO2 adsorption capacity, which dramatically promote the conversion of CO2 into alcohols. Notably, the total yield of 268 μmol gcat-1 for the production of CH3OH and CH3H2OH is superior to that of isolated PCN-250 and Cu2O. This study provides a new perspective for the design of a Cu2O nanoparticle/metal-organic framework Z-scheme heterojunction for the reduction of CO2 to alcohols with water vapor.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with expanding porosity and tailored pore environments are intriguing for catalytic applications. We report herein a straightforward method of controlled partial linker thermolysis to introduce desirable mesopores into mono-ligand MOFs, which is different from the classical thermolyzing method that starts from mixed-linker MOFs. UiO-66-NH2 , after partial ligand thermolysis, exhibits significant mesoporosity, retained crystal structure, improved charge photogeneration and abundant anchoring sites, which is ideal to explore single-site photocatalysis. Atomically dispersed Cu is then accommodated in the tailored pore. The resulting single-site Cu catalyst exhibits excellent performance for photocatalytic alkylation and oxidation coupling for the functionalization of terminal alkynes. The study highlights the advantage of controlled partial linker thermolysis to synthesize hierarchical MOFs to achieve the advanced single-site photocatalysis.

Abstract
The novel photocatalyst of Fe3O4@SiO2/PAEDTC@MIL-101(Fe) was prepared based on the sol-gel method, and its structure and morphology were determined by SEM mapping, TEM, XRD, FTIR, and N2 adsorption-desorption analyses. The photocatalytic activity of nanocomposite was evaluated in comparison with other particles as well as adsorption and photolysis processes. The effect of operating parameters showed that the complete degradation of penicillin G (PNG) can be provided at a photocatalyst dosage of 0.6 g/L, radiation intensity of 36 W, pH of 5, and time of 60 min. In the optimum condition, 84% TOC removal was attained and the BOD5/COD rate for the treated effluent was above 0.4, which was representative of the high biodegradability of the treated effluent compared to the raw sample. The findings of energy consumption showed that PNG can be easily and effectively treated by the photocatalytic process based on magnetic MIL-101(Fe) with electrical energy per order between 10 and 20.87 kWh/m3. Due to the excellent interaction between the MIL-101(Fe) and Fe3O4@SiO2/PAEDTC, the photocatalyst stability test showed a recyclability of the particles for 5 consecutive reaction cycles with a minimum reduction of 7%. Solution treated with photocatalyst under UV and visible light sources explained that the toxicity of the effluent after treatment is significantly reduced with the growth of Escherichia coli. Scavenging experiments showed that •OH radical and hole (h+) are the main agents in degrading PNG to CO2, H2O, and biodegradable and low-toxicity products. Finally, the findings of the diagnostic analysis and comparative experiments proved that with the interaction of Fe3O4@SiO2, NH2, and MIL-101(Fe), a lower band gap can be prepared for more absorption of photons and pollutant and also more and faster production of active radicals.

Abstract
Efficient transfer of charge carriers through a fast transport pathway is crucial to excellent photocatalytic reduction performance in solar-driven CO2 reduction, but it is still challenging to effectively modulate the electronic transport pathway between photoactive motifs by feasible chemical means. In this work, we propose a thermally induced strategy to precisely modulate the fast electron transport pathway formed between the photoactive motifs of a porphyrin metal-organic framework using thorium ion with large ionic radius and high coordination number as the coordination-labile metal node. As a result, the stacking pattern of porphyrin molecules in the framework before and after the crystal transformations has changed dramatically, which leads to significant differences in the separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers in MOFs. The rate of photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO by IHEP-22(Co) reaches 350.9 μmol·h-1·g-1, which is 3.60 times that of IHEP-21(Co) and 1.46 times that of IHEP-23(Co). Photoelectrochemical characterizations and theoretical calculations suggest that the electron transport channels formed between porphyrin molecules inhibit the recombination of photogenerated carriers, resulting in high performance for photocatalytic CO2 reduction. The interaction mechanism of CO2 with IHEP-22(Co) was clarified by using in-situ electron paramagnetic resonance, in-situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy, in-situ extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy, and theoretical calculations. These results provide a new method to regulate the efficient separation and migration of charge carriers in CO2 reduction photocatalysts and will be helpful to guide the design and synthesis of photocatalysts with superior performance for the production of solar fuels.

Abstract
Encapsulating photogenerated charge-hopping nodes and space transport bridges within metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is a promising method of boosting the photocatalytic performance. Herein, this work embeds electron transfer media (9,10-bis(4-pyridyl)anthracene (BPAN)) in MOF cavities to build multi-level electron transfer paths. The MOF cavities are accurately regulated to investigate the significance of the multi-level electron transfer paths in the process of CO2 photoreduction by evaluating the difference in the number of guest media. The prepared MOFs, {[Co(BPAN)(1,4-dicarboxybenzene)(H2 O)2 ]·BPAN·2H2 O} and {[Co(BPAN)2 (4,4'-biphenyldicarboxylic acid)2 (H2 O)2 ]·2BPAN·2H2 O} (denoted as BPAN-Co-1 and BPAN-Co-2), exhibit efficient visible-light-driven CO2 conversion properties. The CO photoreduction efficacy of BPAN-Co-2 (5598 µmol g-1 h-1 ) is superior to that of most reported MOF-based catalysts. In addition, the enhanced CO2 photoreduction ability is supported by density functional theory (DFT). This work illustrates the feasibility of realizing charge separation characteristics in MOF catalysts at the molecular level, and provides new insight for designing high-performance MOFs for artificial photosynthesis.

Abstract
Three new hybrid metal-polymer-coordinated complexes (MPCs) of copper(II), cobalt(II), and nickel(II) ions with an organic polymer derived from gallic acid and ethylenediamine (GAEtH) were synthesized. The structures of GAEtH and MPCs were characterized with FT-IR, ultraviolet (UV)-Vis, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, and elemental and thermogravimetric analysis. The results reveal that the organic polymer GAEtH exhibits an infinite one-dimensional chain structure, while the hybrid MPCs have a double chain structure, with the two chains joined by metal ions. The thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of the thermal degradation stages were determined by the Coats Redfern method, and the photocatalytic behaviors of the MPCs were investigated through the decomposition of methyl orange dye under UV irradiation.

Abstract
Developing visible-light-driven photocatalysts for the catalytic dehydrogenation of organics is of great significance for sustainable solar energy utilization. Here, we first report that aromatic alcohols could be efficiently split into H2 and aldehydes over TiO2 under visible-light irradiation through a ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) mechanism. A series of TiO2 catalysts with different surface contents of the hydroxyl group (-OH) have been synthesized by controlling the hydrothermal and calcination synthesis methods. An optimal H2 production rate of 18.6 μmol h-1 is obtained on TiO2 synthesized from the hydrothermal method with a high content of surface -OH. Experimental characterizations and comparison studies reveal that the surface -OH markedly influences the formation of LMCT complexes and thus changes the visible-light-driven photocatalytic performance. This work is anticipated to inspire further research endeavors in the design and fabrication of visible-light-driven photocatalyst systems based on the LMCT mechanism to realize the simultaneous synthesis of clean fuel and fine chemicals.

Abstract
The selective electrochemical reduction of oxygen (O2) via 3e- pathway for the production of hydroxyl radicals (HO) is a promising alternative to conventional electro-Fenton process. Here, we developed a nitrogen-doped CNT-encapsulated Ni nanoparticle electrocatalyst (Ni@N-CNT) with high O2 reduction selectivity for the generation of HO•via 3e- pathway. Exposed graphitized N on the CNT shell, and Ni nanoparticles encapsulated within the tip of the N-CNT, played a key role in the generation of H2O2 intermediate (*HOOH) via a 2e- oxygen reduction reaction. Meanwhile, those encapsulated Ni nanoparticles at the tip of the N-CNT facilitated the sequential HO• generation by directly decomposing the electrogenerated *H2O2 in a 1e- reduction reaction on the N-CNT shell without inducing Fenton reaction. Improved bisphenol A (BPA) degradation efficiency were observed when compared with conventional batch system (97.5% vs 66.4%). Trials using Ni@N-CNT in a flow-through configuration demonstrated a complete removal of BPA within 30 min (k = 0.12 min-1) with a limited energy consumption of 0.068 kW·h·g-1 TOC.

Results showed that ZCS alone under visible light had good photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity (1.762 mmol g-1h-1) and stability (79.5 % activity retention rate after seven cycles, 21 h). The WO3/ZCS nanocomposites with S-scheme heterojunction had better hydrogen evolution activity (2.287 mmol g-1h-1), but poor stability (41.6 % activity retention rate). The WO/ZCS nanocomposites with S-scheme heterojunction and oxygen defects showed excellent photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity (3.94 mmol g-1h-1) and stability (89.7 % activity retention rate). The specific surface area measurement and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy diffuse reflectance spectroscopy indicate that oxygen defects lead to larger specific surface area and improved light absorption, respectively. The charge density difference confirms the existence of the S-scheme heterojunction and the amount of charge transfer, which accelerates the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs and enhances the utilization efficiency of light and charge. This study offers a new approach using the synergistic impact of oxygen defects and S-scheme heterojunction to enhance the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity and stability.

Abstract
Zirconium-based porphyrin metal organic frameworks (Zr-PMOFs) had attracted attention in the field of photocatalysis in recent years. However, the recombination of photogenerated carriers of monomer PMOF limits its performance of photocatalytic organic pollutants degradation. Metal sulfide has a suitable visible band gap, which can form a heterojunction with MOF materials to enhance the photocatalytic efficiency of MOF. Therefore, a typical metal sulfide semiconductor ZnIn2S4 (ZIS) was introduced into a Zr-MOF (MOF-525) by solvothermal method to prepare a series of ZIS/MOF-525 (ZIS/MOF-525-1, ZIS/MOF-525-2, ZIS/MOF-525-3 and ZIS/MOF-525-4) composite photocatalysts in this work. The results of characterization analysis, optical analysis and electrochemical analysis showed that the interface of ZIS/MOF-525 formed a typical type-II heterojunction, which accelerated the electron transport rate and effectively inhibited the recombination of photogenerated e- and h+ in MOF-525. The optimal removal efficiency of tetracycline (TC) by ZIS/MOF-525-3 (the mass of MOF-525 is 30 mg) reached 93.8% under 60 min visible light illumination, which was greater than that of pure MOF-525 (37.2%) and ZnIn2S4 (70.0%), and it still maintained good stability after five cycles reusing experiment. This work provides feasible insight for the preparation of novel and efficient PMOF-based photocatalysts in the future.

Abstract
As a straightforward way to fix solar energy, photo/photothermal catalysis with semiconductor provides a promising way to settle the energy shortage and environmental crisis in many fields, especially in clean energy conversion. Topologically porous heterostructures (TPHs), featured with well-defined pores and mainly composed by the derivatives of some precursors with specific morphology, are a major part of hierarchical materials in photo/photothermal catalysis and provide a versatile platform to construct efficient photocatalysts for their enhanced light absorption, accelerated charges transfer, improved stability, and promoted mass transportation. Therefore, a comprehensive and timely review on the advantages and recent applications of the TPHs is of great importance to forecast the potential applications and research trend in the future. This review initially demonstrates the advantages of TPHs in photo/photothermal catalysis. Then the universal classifications and design strategies of TPHs are emphasized. Besides, the applications and mechanisms of photo/photothermal catalysis in hydrogen evolution from water splitting and COx hydrogenation over TPHs are carefully reviewed and highlighted. Finally, the challenges and perspectives of TPHs in photo/photothermal catalysis are also critically discussed.

Abstract
The construction of S-scheme heterojunctions is an effective approach to realize artificial photocatalytic processes. For the higher solar energy conversion efficiency, current research focuses on improving the interfacial intimacy and precisely modulating the strength of the internal electric field (IEF). To address this issue, we propose a novel MOF-based synthesis and derivation strategy. The heterojunction obtained by this strategy tends to form an intimate interface and a tunable IEF, which facilitates the transfer and separation of photogenerated carriers. Herein, a ZnS/ZnIn2S4 (ZIS) S-Scheme heterojunction containing sulfur vacancies (Sv) was successfully synthesized, and its good photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) activity confirmed the feasibility of this strategy. The prepared Sv-ZnS/ZIS exhibits an apparent quantum yield of 19.8 ± 1.0 % at 420 nm and a hydrogen evolution rate of 2912.3 ± 185.9 μmol g-1h-1, which is 9.0 and 33.6 times higher than pure ZIS and Sv-ZnS, respectively. Furthermore, the yield of photoreduction CO2 to CO reaches 2075.7 ± 63.0 μmol g-1h-1 with a CO selectivity of 93.0 ± 0.8 %. This work provides new sights for the rational design and construction of S-scheme photocatalysts with sulfur vacancies for efficient photocatalysis.

Abstract
Architecting a desirable and highly efficient nanocomposite for applications like adsorption, catalysis, etc. has always been a challenge. Metal Organic Framework (MOF)-based hierarchical composite has perceived popularity as an advanced adsorbent and catalyst. Hierarchically structured MOF material can be modulated to allow the surface interaction (external or internal) of MOF with the molecules of interest. They are well endowed with tunable functionality, high porosity, and increased surface area epitomizing mass transfer and mechanical stability of the fabricated nanostructure. Additionally, the anticipated optimization of nanocomposite can only be acquired by a thorough understanding of the synthesis techniques. This review starts with a brief introduction to MOF and the requirement for advanced nanocomposites after the setback faced by conventional MOF structures. Further, we discussed the background of MOF-based hierarchical composites followed by synthetic techniques including chemical and thermal treatment. It is important to rationally validate the successful nanocomposite fabrication by characterization techniques, an overview of challenges, and future perspectives associated with MOF-based hierarchically structured nanocomposite.

Constructing tightly integrated conductive metal-organic framework/covalent triazine framework heterostructure by coordination bonds for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 633:233-242. [PMID: 36446216 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2022.11.094] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2022] [Revised: 11/17/2022] [Accepted: 11/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
The construction of tightly integrated heterostructures with metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs) has been confirmed to be an effective way for improved hydrogen evolution. However, the reported tightly integrated MOF/COF hybrids were usually limited to the covalent connection of COFs with aldehyde groups and NH2-MOF via Schiff base reaction, restricting the development of MOF/COF hybrids. Herein, a covalent triazine framework (CTF-1), a subtype of crystalline COFs, was integrated with a conductive two-dimensional (2D) MOF (Ni-CAT-1) by a novel coordinating connection mode for significantly enhanced visible-light-driven hydrogen evolution. The terminal amidine groups in the CTF-1 layers offer dual N sites for the coordination of metal ions, which provides the potential of coordinating connection between CTF-1 and Ni-CAT-1. The conductive 2D Ni-CAT-1 in Ni-CAT-1/CTF-1 hybrids effectively facilitates the separation of photogenerated carriers of CTF-1 component, and the resultant hybrid materials show significantly enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity. In particular, the Ni-CAT-1/CTF-1 (1:19) sample exhibits the maximum hydrogen evolution rate of 8.03 mmol g-1h-1, which is about four times higher than that of the parent CTF-1 (1.96 mmol g-1h-1). The enhanced photocatalytic activity of Ni-CAT-1/CTF-1 is mainly attributed to the incorporation of conductive MOF which leads to the formation of a Z-Scheme heterostructure, promoting the electron transfer in hybrid materials. The coordinating combination mode of Ni-CAT-1 and CTF-1 in this work provides a novel strategy for constructing tightly integrated MOF/COF hybrid materials.

Abstract
Synthetic pigment pollutants caused by the rapid development of the modern food industry have become a serious threat to people's health and quality of life. Environmentally friendly ZnO-based photocatalytic degradation exhibits satisfactory efficiency, but some shortcomings of large band gap and rapid charge recombination reduce the removal of synthetic pigment pollutants. Here, carbon quantum dots (CQDs) with unique up-conversion luminescence were applied to decorate ZnO nanoparticles to effectively construct the CQDs/ZnO composites via a facile and efficient route. The ZnO nanoparticles with a spherical-like shape obtained from a zinc-based metal organic framework (zeolitic imidazolate framework-8, ZIF-8) were coated by uniformly dispersive quantum dots. Compared with single ZnO particles, the obtained CQDs/ZnO composites exhibit enhanced light absorption capacity, decreased photoluminescence (PL) intensity, and improved visible-light degradation for rhodamine B (RhB) with the large apparent rate constant (k app). The largest k app value in the CQDs/ZnO composite obtained from 75 mg of ZnO nanoparticles and 12.5 mL of the CQDs solution (∼1 mg·mL-1) was 2.6 times that in ZnO nanoparticles. This phenomenon may be attributed to the introduction of CQDs, leading to the narrowed band gap, an extended lifetime, and the charge separation. This work provides an economical and clean strategy to design visible-light-responsive ZnO-based photocatalysts, which is expected to be used for the removal of synthetic pigment pollutants in food industry.

Abstract
The morphology of metal oxide is a crucial factor for improving of catalysis properties. As a renewable and environmentally friendly biomass material, cellulose has been widely used to induce the morphology of semiconductors. The contributions of cellulose hydroxyl groups and spatial hindrance in tailoring Al doped ZnO (AZO) morphologies were investigated. The morphology of AZO could be gradually induced from flake-like to flower-like with the increase of cellulose hydroxyl content per unit volume. At the same time, the changes in spatial hindrance had no apparent effect on the morphology of AZO. So the cellulose hydroxyl groups that act to induce the in situ growth of AZO nanoparticles on cellulose substrates. The results further confirmed the strong interaction between cellulose hydroxyl groups and Zn2+. In addition, the photocatalytic activities of Al-doped ZnO/cellulose nanocomposites (AZOC) with different morphologies were evaluated by the degradation of bisphenol A (BPA). The high hydroxyl contents of cellulose substrates contributed to the growth of flower-like AZO with high light utilization and photocatalytic activity. This work proposed cleaner strategies to modify semiconductor morphologies for photocatalysis by regulating the content of cellulose hydroxyl contents.

Abstract
In photocatalysis, especially in CO2 reduction and H2 production, the development of multicomponent nanomaterials provides great opportunities to tune many critical parameters toward increased activity. This work reports the development of tunable organic/inorganic heterojunctions comprised of cobalt oxides (Co3O4) of varying morphology and modified carbon nitride (CN), targeting on optimizing their response under UV-visible irradiation. MOF structures were used as precursors for the synthesis of Co3O4. A facile solvothermal approach allowed the development of ultrathin two-dimensional (2D) Co3O4 nanosheets (Co3O4-NS). The optimized CN and Co3O4 structures were coupled forming heterojunctions, and the content of each part was optimized. Activity was significantly improved in the nanocomposites bearing Co3O4-NS compared with the corresponding bulk Co3O4/CN composites. Transient absorption spectroscopy revealed a 100-fold increase in charge carrier lifetime on Co3O4-NS sites in the composite compared with the bare Co3O4-NS. The improved photocatalytic activity in H2 production and CO2 reduction is linked with (a) the larger interface imposed from the matching 2D structure of Co3O4-NS and the planar surface of CN, (b) improvements in charge carrier lifetime, and (c) the enhanced CO2 adsorption. The study highlights the importance of MOF structures used as precursors in forming advanced materials and the stepwise functionalization of the individual parts in nanocomposites for the development of materials with superior activity.

Abstract
Photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to value-added chemicals is known to be a promising approach for CO2 conversion. The design and preparation of ideal photocatalysts for CO2 conversion are of pivotal significance for the sustainable development of the whole society. In this work, we integrated two functional organic linkers to prepare a novel metal organic framework (MOF) photocatalyst {[Co(9,10-bis(4-pyridyl)anthracene)0.5(bpda)]·4DMF} (Co-MOF). The existence of anthryl and amino groups leads to a wide range of visible light absorption and efficient separation of photogenerated electrons. To extend the lifetime of photogenerated electrons in the photocatalytic system, we modified Co-MOF particles onto g-C3N4. As expected, Co-MOF/g-C3N4 composites exhibited an ultrahigh selectivity (more than 97%) in the photocatalytic process, and the highest CO production rate (1824 μmol/g/h) was 7.1 and 27.2 times of Co-MOFs and g-C3N4, respectively. What's more, we also discussed the reaction mechanism of the Co-MOF/g-C3N4 photocatalytic CO2 reduction, and this work paves the pathway for designing photocatalysts with ideal CO2 reduction performance.

Abstract
Femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy (fs-TAS) is a powerful technique for monitoring the electron transfer kinetics in photocatalysis. Several important works have successfully elucidated the electron transfer mechanism in heterojunction photocatalysts (HPs) using fs-TAS measurements, and thus a timely summary of recent advances is essential. This feature article starts with a thorough interpretation of the operating principle of fs-TAS equipment, and the fundamentals of the fs-TAS spectra. Subsequently, the applications of fs-TAS in analyzing the dynamics of photogenerated carriers in semiconductor/metal HPs, semiconductor/carbon HPs, semiconductor/semiconductor HPs, and multicomponent HPs are discussed in sequence. Finally, the significance of fs-TAS in revealing the ultrafast interfacial electron transfer process in HPs is summarized, and further research on the applications of fs-TAS in photocatalysis is proposed. This feature article will provide deep insight into the mechanism of the enhanced photocatalytic performance of HPs from the perspective of electron transfer kinetics.

Abstract
Recently, the green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles (NPs) has received tremendous attention as a simple approach. The green pathway of biogenic synthesis of metallic NPs through microbes may provide a sustainable and environmentally friendly protocol. Green technology is the most innovative technology for various biological activities and lacks toxic effects. Reports have shown the algae-mediated synthesis of metal NPs. Algae are widely used for biosynthesis as they grow fast; they produce biomass on average ten times that of plants and are easily utilized experimentally. In the future, the production of metal NPs by different microalgae and their biological activity can be explored in diverse areas such as catalysis, medical diagnosis, and anti-biofilm applications.

Abstract
Reducing CO2 into value-added chemicals and fuels by artificial photosynthesis (photocatalysis and photoelectrocatalysis) is one of the considerable solutions to global environmental and energy issues. One-dimensional (1D) nanostructured catalysts (nanowires, nanorods, nanotubes and so on.) have attracted extensive attention due to their superior light-harvesting ability, co-catalyst loading capacity, and high carrier separation rate. This review analyzed the basic principle of the photo(electro)catalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR) briefly. The preparation methods and properties of 1D nanostructured catalysts are introduced. Next, the applications of 1D nanostructured catalysts in the field of photo(electro)catalytic CO2 RR are introduced in detail. In particular, we introduced the design of composite catalysts with 1D nanostructures, for example loading 0D, 1D, 2D, and 3D materials on a 1D nanostructured semiconductor to construct a heterojunction to optimize the photo-response range, carrier separation and transport efficiency, CO2 adsorption and activation capacity, and stability of the catalyst. Finally, the development prospects of 1D nanostructured catalysts are discussed and summarized. This review can provide guidance for the rational design of advanced catalysts for photo(electro)catalytic CO2 RR.

Abstract
Biofilm-driven caries and tooth discoloration are two major problems in oral health care. The current methods have the disadvantages of insufficient biofilm targeting and irreversible enamel damage. Herein, an injectable sodium alginate hydrogel membrane doped with bismuth oxychloride (Bi12O17Cl2) and cubic cuprous oxide (Cu2O) nanoparticles was designed to simultaneously achieve local tooth whitening and biofilm removal through a photodynamic dental therapy process. This fast cross-linked hydrogel could form a biofilm removal coating on the target tooth surface precisely. Afterward, reactive oxygen species was effectively released on demand under green light, which could not only eradicate the biofilm but also whiten the tooth non-destructively in a facile manner without significant damage to both the enamel and biological cells. After the usage, the removal of this hydrogel can also enhance the effect of biofilm destruction and caries prevention.
