Abstract
Organophosphate nerve agents (OPs) are widely used as pesticides and chemical agents and pose a threat to human health and life. At present, most personal protective equipment usually only serves as physical protection and does not have an effect of chemical detoxification. In this work, ultra lightweight graphene oxide aerogels (GAs) have been used as a multifunctional skeleton to integrate the metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) together for obtaining a high-performance hybrid material (MOFs/MIPs@GAs) on hydrolysis detoxification of OPs. As a porous three-dimensional material full of carboxyl groups, GAs can not only support excellent mass transfer performance but also provide a proper pH self-buffering catalytic reaction external environment for hydrolyzing OPs. The obtained MOFs/MIPs@GAs can catalyze dimethyl-4-nitrophenyl phosphate (DMNP) hydrolysis detoxification rapidly in pure water (kobs = 0.2227 min-1, t1/2 = 3.11 min). This ternary hybrid material with exceptional performance and practical applicability has vast application prospects for the development of protective equipment.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 480:135713.

Abstract
Radioactive nuclides and highly toxic organophosphates are typical deadly threats. Materials with the function of radioactive substances adsorption and organophosphates degradation provide double protection. Herein, dual-functional polyamide (PA)/polyethyleneimine (PEI)@Zr-MOF fiber composite membranes, fabricated by in-situ solvothermal growth of Zr-MOF on PA/PEI electrospun fiber membranes, are designed for protection against two typical model compounds of iodine and dimethyl 4-nitrophenyl phosphate (DMNP). Benefiting from the unique core-sheath structure composed of inner nitrogen-rich fibers and outer porous Zr-MOF, the composite membranes rapidly enrich iodine through abundant active sites of the outer sheath and form complexes with the amine of inner PEI, exhibiting a highly competitive adsorption capacity of 609 mg g-1. Moreover, it can adsorb and degrade DMNP with the synergy of PEI component and Zr-MOF, achieving an 80 % removal of DMNP within 7 min without any additional co-catalyst. This work provides a feasible strategy to fabricate dual-functional materials that protect against radioactive and organophosphorus contaminants.

A Miniaturized Method for Evaluating the Dynamic Gas-Phase Adsorption and Degradation of Sarin on Porous Adsorbents at Different Humidity Levels. ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:28412-28421. [PMID: 38973844 PMCID: PMC11223133 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.4c02306] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2024] [Revised: 05/20/2024] [Accepted: 06/07/2024] [Indexed: 07/09/2024]
Abstract
Metal organic frameworks based on zirconium nodes (Zr-MOFs) have impressive adsorption capacities, and many can rapidly hydrolyze toxic organophosphorus nerve agents. They could thus potentially replace commonly used adsorbents in respiratory filters. However, current test methodologies are poorly adapted to screen the large number of available MOFs, and data for nerve agent adsorption by MOFs are scarce. This paper presents a miniaturized method for assessing the capacity of Zr-MOFs for dynamic gas phase adsorption and degradation of sarin (GB) into the primary hydrolysis product isopropyl methyl phosphonic acid (IMPA). The method was validated by comparing the dynamic adsorption capacities of activated carbon (AC) and NU-1000 for GB under dry and humid conditions. Under dry conditions, unimpregnated AC had a greater capacity for GB uptake (0.68 ± 0.06 g/g) than pelletized NU-1000 (0.36 ± 0.03 g/g). At 55% relative humidity (RH), the capacity of AC was largely unchanged (0.72 ± 0.10 g/g) but that of NU-1000 increased slightly, to 0.46 ± 0.10 g/g. However, NU-1000 exhibited poor water retention at 55% RH. For both adsorbents, the degree of hydrolysis of GB into IMPA was significantly greater at 55% RH than under dry conditions, but the overall degree of hydrolysis was limited in both cases. Further tests at higher relative humidities are needed to fully evaluate the ability of NU-1000 to degrade GB after adsorption from the gas phase. The proposed experimental setup uses very small amounts of both adsorbent material (20 mg) and toxic agent, making it ideal for assessing new MOFs. However, future methodological challenges are reliable generation of sarin at higher RH and exploring sensitive methods to monitor degradation products from nerve agents in real-time.

Abstract
Chemical warfare agents primarily comprise organophosphorus nerve agents, saliva alkaloids, cyanides, and mustard gas. Exposure to these agents can result in severe respiratory effects, including spasms, edema, and increased secretions leading to breathing difficulties and suffocation. Protecting public safety and national security from such threats has become an urgent priority. Porous metal-organic framework (MOF) materials have emerged as promising candidates for the degradation of chemical warfare agents due to their large surface area, tunable pore size distribution, and excellent catalytic performance. Furthermore, combining MOFs with polymers can enhance their elasticity and processability and improve their degradation performance. In this review, we summarize the literature of the past five years on MOF-based composite materials and their effectiveness in degrading chemical warfare agents. Moreover, we discuss key factors influencing their degradation efficiency, such as MOF structure, pore size, and functionalization strategies. Furthermore, we highlight recent developments in the design of MOF-polymer composites, which offer enhanced degradation performance and stability for practical applications in CWA degradation. These composite materials exhibit good performance in degrading chemical warfare agents, playing a crucial role in protecting public safety and maintaining national security. We can expect to see more breakthroughs in the application of metal-organic framework porous materials for degrading chemical warfare agents. It is hoped that these innovative materials will play a positive role in achieving social stability and security.

Abstract
In current trends, an imminent development of self-detoxification filters is highly desirable against exposure to chemical warfare agents (CWAs). Exploiting protective materials that can be applicable in day-to-day life for instantaneous detoxification will be of immense importance. The available technologies in the current scenario are susceptible to secondary emission and pose a need for an alternate design strategy for effective degradation. In addition, the choice of active material and successful impregnation on a suitable substrate for developing potential barriers requires complex material design. In this context, the developed self-standing UiO-66 and UiO-66-NH2 functionalized fabrics (MOFabrics) present an expeditious detoxification performance against CWA simulant, methyl-paraoxon, with a maximum removal percent conversion of 88.9 and 90.68%. It shows a reduced half-life of approximately 10.16 and 11.23 min, in comparison to an unmodified/carboxymethylated fabric of 462 min.

Abstract
Cellulose fiber-based textiles are ubiquitous in daily life for their processability, biodegradability, and outstanding flexibility. Integrating cellulose textiles with functional coating materials can unlock their potential functionalities to engage diverse applications. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are ideal candidate materials for such integration, thanks to their unique merits, such as large specific surface area, tunable pore size, and species diversity. However, achieving scalable fabrication of MOFs-textiles with high mechanical durability remains challenging. Here, we report a facile and scalable strategy for direct MOF growth on cotton fibers grafted via the diazonium chemistry. The as-prepared ZIF-67-Cotton textile (ZIF-67-CT) exhibits excellent ultraviolet (UV) resistance and organic contamination degradation via the peroxymonosulfate activation. The ZIF-67-CT is also used to encapsulate essential oils such as carvacrol to enable antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus. Additionally, by directly tethering a hydrophobic molecular layer onto the MOF-coated surface, superhydrophobic ZIF-67-CT is achieved with excellent self-cleaning, antifouling, and oil-water separation performances. More importantly, the reported strategy is generic and applicable to other MOFs and cellulose fiber-based materials, and various large-scale multi-functional MOFs-textiles can be successfully manufactured, resulting in vast applications in wastewater purification, fragrance industry, and outdoor gears.

Abstract
The integration of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) into composite systems serves as an effective strategy to increase the processability of these materials. Notably, MOF/fiber composites have shown much promise as protective equipment for the capture and remediation of chemical warfare agents. However, the practical application of these composites requires an understanding of their mass transport properties, as both mass transfer resistance at the surface and diffusion within the materials can impact the efficacy of these materials. In this work, we synthesized composite fibers of MOF-808 and amidoxime-functionalized polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIM-1-AX) and measured the adsorption and mass transport behavior of n-hexane and 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES), a sulfur mustard simulant. We developed a new Fickian diffusion model for cylindrical shapes to fit the dynamic adsorption data obtained from a commercial volumetric adsorption apparatus and found that mass transport behavior in composite fibers closely resembled that in the pure PIM fibers, regardless of MOF loading. Moreover, we found that n-hexane adsorption mirrors that of CEES, indicating that it could be used as a structural mimic for future adsorption studies of the sulfur mustard simulant. These preliminary insights and the new model introduced in this work lay the groundwork for the design of next-generation composite materials for practical applications.

Abstract
The ability to control the catalytic activity of enzymes in chemical transformations is essential for the design and development of artificial catalysts. Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of functional ligands featuring two 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane units linked by an azobenzene group and their corresponding dinuclear Zn(II) complexes. We show that the configuration switching (E/Z) of the azobenzene spacer in the ligands and their dinuclear Zn(II) complexes is reversibly controlled by irradiation with UV and visible light. The Zn(II)-metal complexes are light-responsive catalysts for the hydrolytic cleavage of nerve agent simulants, i.e., p-nitrophenyl diphenyl phosphate and methyl paraoxon. The catalytic activity of the Z-isomers of the dinuclear Zn(II) complexes outperformed that of the E-counterparts. Moreover, combining the less active E-isomers with gold nanoparticles induced an enhancement in the hydrolysis rate of p-nitrophenyl diphenyl phosphate. Kinetic analysis has shown that the catalytic site appears to involve a single metal ion. We explain our results by considering the different desolvation effects occurring in the catalyst's configurations in the solution and the catalytic systems involving gold nanoparticles.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Highly toxic organophosphorus nerve agents often exist in the form of gas in the environment and can damage human neuroregulatory system by inhibiting the activity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE). However, fluorescent probes based on small organic molecules bring a secondary burden to environment, and their sensitivity and specificity for sarin simulant diethyl chlorophosphate (DCP) detection are unsatisfactory. Nanozyme cascade systems with signal amplification can be used for highly sensitive identification of analytes, but are rarely used in ratiometric analysis of DCP. Combination of enzyme cascades and ratiometric fluorescence ensures the accuracy and sensitivity of the output signal. RESULTS We prepared a self-assembled nanohybrid (Ag-AuNCs@UiO-66-NH2) by metal-organic framework material and gold nanoclusters. On the one hand, UiO-66-NH2 with enzyme-like activity was used to hydrolyze DCP into diethyl phosphate (DEP) and chloridion (Cl-). Cl- hindered aggregation-induced enhanced emission (AIEE) of AuNCs by binding with Ag+ and decreased the fluorescence of AuNCs. On the other hand, ligand metal charge transfer effect (LMCT) of UiO-66-NH2 was blocked by DCP to enhance the fluorescence of UiO-66-NH2. Combining ratiometric analysis and nanozyme cascade reaction, an ultra-sensitive fluorescence sensor for detecting DCP was constructed, and ensured the accuracy of experimental results. In addition, Ag-AuNCs@UiO-66-NH2 was embedded into the agarose hydrogel substrate, the resulting agarose hydrogel film allowed quantitative assessment of DCP vapor and high sensitivity was demonstrated (detection limit as low as 1.02 ppb). SIGNIFICANCE A strategy combining enzyme cascade with ratiometric fluorescence was proposed, which improved the accuracy and sensitivity of the analysis results. The soft-solid platform based on agarose hydrogel film was constructed to realize the quantitative monitoring of sarin simulant gas. The LOD value obtained in this work is much lower than the immediately life-threatening or health threatening concentration of sarin.

Abstract
The incorporation of superhydrophobic properties into metal organic framework (MOF) materials is highly desirable to enhance their hydrolytic stability, gas capture selectivity in the presence of humidity and efficiency in oil-water separations, among others. The existing strategies for inducing superhydrophobicity into MOFs have several weaknesses, such as increased cost, utilization of toxic reagents and solvents, applicability for limited MOFs, etc. Here, we report the simplest, most eco-friendly, and cost-effective process to impart superhydrophobicity to MOFs, involving a rapid (90 min) treatment of MOF materials with solutions of sodium oleate, a main component of soap. The method can be applied to both hydrolytically stable and unstable MOFs, with the porosity of modified MOFs approaching, in most cases, that of the pristine materials. Interestingly, this approach was used to isolate superhydrophobic magnetic MOF composites, and one of these materials formed stable liquid marbles, whose motion could be easily guided using an external magnetic field. We also successfully fabricated superhydrophobic MOF-coated cotton fabric and fiber composites. These composites exhibited exceptional oil sorption properties achieving rapid removal of floating crude oil from water, as well as efficient purification of oil-in-water emulsions. They are also regenerable and reusable for multiple sorption processes. Overall, the results described here pave the way for an unprecedented expansion of the family of MOF-based superhydrophobic materials, as virtually any MOF could be converted into a superhydrophobic compound by applying the new synthetic approach.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with Lewis acid catalytic sites, such as zirconium-based MOFs (Zr-MOFs), comprise a growing class of phosphatase-like nanozymes that can degrade toxic organophosphate pesticides and nerve agents. Rationally engineering and shaping MOFs from as-synthesized powders into hierarchically porous monoliths is essential for their use in emerging applications, such as filters for air and water purification and personal protection gear. However, several challenges still limit the production of practical MOF composites, including the need for sophisticated reaction conditions, low MOF catalyst loadings in the resulting composites, and poor accessibility to MOF-based active sites. To overcome these limitations, a rapid synthesis method is developed to introduce Zr-MOF nanozyme coating into cellulose nanofibers, resulting in the formation of processable monolithic aerogel composites with high MOF loadings. These composites contain Zr-MOF nanozymes embedded in the structure, and hierarchical macro-micro porosity enables excellent accessibility to catalytic active sites. This multifaceted rational design strategy, including the selection of a MOF with many catalytic sites, fine-tuning the coating morphology, and the fabrication of a hierarchically structured monolithic aerogel, renders synergistic effects toward the efficient continuous hydrolytic detoxification of organophosphorus-based nerve agent simulants and pesticides from contaminated water.

Construction of imidazole@defective hierarchical porous UiO-66 and fibrous composites for rapid and nonbuffered catalytic hydrolysis of organophosphorus nerve agents. J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 652:1156-1169. [PMID: 37657216 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.08.163] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2023] [Revised: 08/23/2023] [Accepted: 08/25/2023] [Indexed: 09/03/2023]
Abstract
Hydrolytic destruction of toxic organophosphorus nerve agents by metal-organic framework (MOF) catalysts is commonly reliant on bulk water and volatile liquid base, preventing real-world implementation. Poor accessibility to MOF-based active sites in heterogeneous catalysis is also a crucial factor since reactants diffusion is limited by inherently small micropores. To overcome these practical limitations, a ligand-selective pyrolysis strategy was used to construct unsaturated Zr defects and additional mesopores in UiO-66(Zr). Owing to synergistic effect of Zr defects and hierarchical pores, hydrolysis rate constant (k) of nerve agent simulant DMNP (dimethyl 4-nitrophenyl phosphate) on optimal DHP-UiO-30% (defective hierarchical porous UiO-66) is 3.2 times higher than counterpart UiO-30% in N-ethylmorpholine buffer. Encapsulating imidazole (Im) into DHP-UiO-30% affords Im@DHP-UiO, mimicking phosphotriesterase. Im-72@DHP-UiO exhibits rapid DMNP detoxification with 99% conversion in 12 min and initial half-life (t1/2) of 1.8 min in nonbuffered water. As the first example of 'three-in-one' detoxifier, Im@DHP-UiO is further integrated onto nonwoven fabric to construct Im@DHP/Fiber, achieving solid-phase detoxification at ambient humidity with t1/2 of 19.6 min and final conversion of 91%. This is comparable to many powdered catalysts in aqueous solution buffered by volatile bases. This unified strategy is critical and viable to efficiently hydrolyze nerve agents in practical settings.

Abstract
The development of materials that enable the efficient removal of toxic compounds is important for the improvement of current protective materials or decontamination technologies. Current materials rely either on agent removal by adsorption or by effecting (catalytic) degradation. Ideally, both of these mechanisms are combined in a single material in order to target a more broad spectrum of toxic agents and to improve the performance of the materials. Recent attempts to combine materials with either adsorptive or catalytic properties into a composite material are promising, although the overall performance often suffers from competition for the agent between the adsorptive and catalytic domains in the composites. In this work, we propose that metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) could feature both adsorptive properties as well as catalytic properties in a single structural domain, thereby avoiding a reduction in the overall performance originating from competitive agent interactions. We showcase this concept using the MOF Ni3(BTP)2, which exhibits strong affinity and high capacity for the storage of a nerve agent simulant and a pesticide. Moreover, it is demonstrated that the adsorbed agents are efficiently degraded and that the nontoxic degradation products are rapidly expelled from the MOF pores. Its ability to catalyze the hydrolytic degradation of both organophosphate and organophosphorothioate compounds highlights another unique feature of this material. The presented concept illustrates the feasibility for developing materials that target a broader spectrum of agents via adsorption, catalysis, or both and by their broader reactivity toward different types of agents.

Abstract
Functional porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been explored for a number of potential applications in catalysis, chemical sensing, water capture, gas storage, and separation. MOFs are among the most promising candidates to address challenges facing our society related to energy and environment, but the successful implementation of functional porous MOF materials are contingent on their stability; therefore, the rational design of stable MOFs plays an important role towards the development of functional porous MOFs. In this Focus article, we summarize progress in the rational design and synthesis of stable MOFs with controllable pores and functionalities. The implementation of reticular chemistry allows for the rational top-down design of stable porous MOFs with targeted topological networks and pore structures from the pre-selected building blocks. We highlight the reticular synthesis and applications of stable MOFs: (1) MOFs based on high valent metal ions (e.g., Al3+, Cr3+, Fe3+, Ti4+ and Zr4+) and carboxylate ligands; (2) MOFs based on low valent metal ions (e.g., Ni2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+) and azolate linkers. We envision that the synthetic strategies, including modulated synthesis and post-synthetic modification, can potentially be extended to other more complex systems like metal-phosphonate framework materials.

Abstract
Organophosphorus nerve agents (OPAs) are a toxic class of synthetic compounds that cause adverse effects with many biological systems. Development of methods for environmental remediation and passivation has been ongoing for years. However, little progress has been made in therapeutic development for exposure victims. Given the postexposure behavior of OPA materials in enzymes such as acetylcholinesterase (AChE), development of electrophilic compounds as therapeutics may be more beneficial than the currently employed nucleophilic countermeasures. In this report, we present our studies with an electrophilic, 16-electron manganese complex (iPrPNP)Mn(CO)2 (1) and the nucleophilic hydroxide derivative (iPrPNHP)Mn(CO)2(OH) (2). The reactivity of 1 with phosphorus acids and the reactivity of 2 with the P-F bond of diisopropylfluorophosphate (DIPF) were studied. The role of water in both nucleophilic and electrophilic reactivity was investigated with the use of 17O-labeled water. Promising results arising from reactions of both 1 and 2 with organophosphorus substrates are reported.

Abstract
Zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are candidate materials for effective nerve agent detoxification due to their thermo- and water stability as well as high density of catalytic Zr sites. However, as high-porosity materials, most of the active sites of Zr-MOFs can only be accessed by diffusion into the crystal interior. Therefore, the transport of nerve agents in nanopores is an important factor in the catalytic performance of Zr-MOFs. Here, we investigated the transport process and mechanism of a vapor-phase nerve agent simulant, dimethyl methyl phosphonate (DMMP), through a representative Zr-MOF, NU-1008, under practical conditions of varying humidity. Confocal Raman microscopy was used to monitor the transport of DMMP vapor through individual NU-1008 crystallites, where the relative humidity (RH) of the environment was tuned to understand the impact of water. Counterintuitively, water in the MOF channels, instead of blocking DMMP transport, assists DMMP diffusion; indeed, the transport diffusivity (Dt) of DMMP in NU-1008 is one order of magnitude higher at 70% than 0% RH. To understand the mechanism, magic angle spinning NMR and molecular dynamics simulations were performed and suggested that high water content in the channels prevents DMMP from hydrogen-bonding with the nodes, allowing for faster diffusion of DMMP in the channels. The simulated self-diffusivity (Ds) of DMMP is observed to be concentration-dependent. At low loading of DMMP, Ds is higher at 70% RH than 0% RH, while at high loadings the trend reverses due to the DMMP aggregation in water and the reduction of free volume in channels.

Abstract
The development of protective fabrics that are capable of capturing and detoxifying a wide range of lethal chemical warfare agents (CWAs) in an efficient way is of great importance for individual protection gears/clothing. In this work, unique metal-organic framework (MOF)-on-MOF nanofabrics were fabricated through facile self-assembly of UiO-66-NH2 and MIL-101(Cr) crystals on electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofabrics and exhibited intriguing synergistic effects between the MOF composites on the detoxification of both nerve agent and blistering agent simulants. MIL-101(Cr), although not catalytic, facilitates the enrichment of CWA simulants from solution or air, thereby delivering a high concentration of reactants to catalytic UiO-66-NH2 coated on its surface and providing an enlarged contact area for CWA simulants with the Zr6 nodes and aminocarboxylate linkers compared to solid substrates. Consequently, the as-prepared MOF-on-MOF nanofabrics showed a fast hydrolysis rate (t1/2 = 2.8 min) for dimethyl 4-nitrophenylphosphate (DMNP) in alkaline solutions and a high removal rate (90% within 4 h) of 2-(ethylthio)-chloroethane (CEES) under environmental conditions, considerably surpassing their single-MOF counterparts and the mixture of two MOF nanofabrics. This work demonstrates synergistic detoxification of CWA simulants using MOF-on-MOF composites for the first time and has the potential to be extended to other MOF/MOF pairs, which provides new ideas for the development of highly efficient toxic gas-protective materials.

Abstract
Enzymatic catalysis has fueled considerable interest from chemists due to its high efficiency and selectivity. However, the structural complexity and vulnerability hamper the application potentials of enzymes. Driven by the practical demand for chemical conversion, there is a long-sought quest for bioinspired catalysts reproducing and even surpassing the functions of natural enzymes. As nanoporous materials with high surface areas and crystallinity, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) represent an exquisite case of how natural enzymes and their active sites are integrated into porous solids, affording bioinspired heterogeneous catalysts with superior stability and customizable structures. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the advances of bioinspired MOFs for catalysis, discuss the design principle of various MOF-based catalysts, such as MOF-enzyme composites and MOFs embedded with active sites, and explore the utility of these catalysts in different reactions. The advantages of MOFs as enzyme mimetics are also highlighted, including confinement, templating effects, and functionality, in comparison with homogeneous supramolecular catalysts. A perspective is provided to discuss potential solutions addressing current challenges in MOF catalysis.

Abstract
Chemical warfare agents (CWAs) significantly threaten human peace and global security. Most personal protective equipment (PPE) deployed to prevent exposure to CWAs is generally devoid of self-detoxifying activity. Here we report the spatial rearrangement of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) into superelastic lamellar-structured aerogels based on a ceramic network-assisted interfacial engineering protocol. The optimized aerogels exhibit efficient adsorption and decomposition performance against CWAs either in liquid or aerosol forms (half-life of 5.29 min, dynamic breakthrough extent of 400 L g-1) due to the preserved MOF structure, van-der-Waals barrier channels, minimized diffusion resistance (~41% reduction), and stability over a thousand compressions. The successful construction of the attractive materials offers fascinating perspectives on the development of field-deployable, real-time detoxifying, and structurally adaptable PPE that could be served as outdoor emergency life-saving devices against CWAs threats. This work also provides a guiding toolbox for incorporating other critical adsorbents into the accessible 3D matrix with enhanced gas transport properties.

Abstract
We use the free radical polymerization initiator 4,4'-azobis(cyanovaleric acid) coordinated to the open metal sites of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to give rise to highly uniform MOF/polymer hybrids. We demonstrate this strategy on two robust zirconium MOFs (NU-1000 and MOF-808), which are the most effective catalysts for degradation of chemical warfare nerve agents. The resulting hybrid materials maintain their hydrolytic catalytic activity and have substantially improved adhesion to polypropylene and activated carbon textile fibers, yielding highly robust MOF/polymer/textile hybrid systems. These composites are suitable for the green production of active protective clothing and filters capable of detoxifying organophosphorus warfare agents.

Abstract
The development of high-performance catalyst materials with high catalytic activity for the hydrolysis of organophosphorus toxicants without additional pH buffer conditions has become an urgent need for practical application. Here, a multifunctional molecularly imprinted polymer double network hydrogel (MIP-DN) material has been prepared by integrating the first polymer network containing the functional group of bi-amidoxime as the catalytic active center and the cationic polymer polyethyleneimine (PEI) with pH buffer function as the main component of the second network. Advantageously, the resultant MIP-DN hydrogel showed excellent catalytic performance without additional pH buffer conditions, exhibiting a half-life of 25 min for the hydrolysis of paraoxon in pure water. Together with multi-functions of high catalytic activity, self-buffering function and excellent processability, the MIP-DN hydrogel prepared in this work provides a new strategy for the preparation of catalytic materials with practical application value toward toxic organophosphates.

Abstract
Reticular chemistry allows for the rational assembly of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with designed structures and desirable functionalities for advanced applications. However, it remains challenging to construct multi-component MOFs with unprecedented complexity and control through insertion of secondary or ternary linkers. Herein, we demonstrate that a Zr-based MOF, NU-600 with a (4,6)-connected she topology, has been judiciously selected to employ a linker installation strategy to precisely insert two linear linkers with different lengths into two crystallographically distinct pockets in a one-pot, de novo reaction. We reveal that the hydrolytic stability of these linker-inserted MOFs can be remarkably reinforced by increasing the Zr6 node connectivity, while maintaining comparable water uptake capacity and pore-filling pressure as the pristine NU-600. Furthermore, introducing hydrophilic -OH groups into the linear linker backbones to construct multivariate MOFs can effectively shift the pore-filling step to lower partial pressures. This methodology demonstrates a powerful strategy to reinforce the structural stability of other MOF frameworks by increasing the connectivity of metal nodes, capable of encouraging developments in fundamental sciences and practical applications.

Abstract
Zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks (Zr-MOFs) have been demonstrated as potent catalysts for the hydrolytic detoxification of organophosphorus nerve agents and their simulants. However, the practical implementation of these Zr-MOFs is limited by the poor processability of their powdered form and the necessity of water media buffered by a volatile liquid base in the catalytic reaction. Herein, we demonstrate the efficient solid-state hydrolysis of a nerve agent simulant (dimethyl-4-nitrophenyl phosphate, DMNP) catalyzed by Zr-MOF-based mixed matrix membranes. The mixed matrix membranes were fabricated by incorporating MOF-808 into the blending matrix of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF), poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP), and imidazole (Im), in which MOF-808 provides highly active catalytic sites, the hydrophilic PVP helps to retain water for promoting the hydrolytic reaction, and Im serves as a base for catalytic site regeneration. Impressively, the mixed matrix membranes displayed excellent catalytic performance for the solid-state hydrolysis of DMNP under high humidity, representing a significant step toward the practical application of Zr-MOFs in chemical protective layers against nerve agents.

Abstract
Protection from and removal of chemical warfare agents (CWAs) from the environment remains a global goal. Activated charcoal, metal oxides, metal organic frameworks (MOFs), polyoxometalates (POMs) and reactive polymers have all been investigated for CWA removal. Composite polymeric materials are rapidly gaining traction as versatile building blocks for personal protective equipment (PPE) and catalytic devices. Polymers are inexpensive to produce and easily engineered into a wide range of materials including films, electro-spun fibers, mixed-matrix membranes/reactors, and other forms. When containing reactive side-chains, hydrolysis catalysts, and/or oxidative catalysts polymeric devices are primed for CWA decontamination. In this review, recent advances in reactive polymeric materials for CWA removal are summarized. To aid in comparing the effectiveness of the different solid catalysts, particular attention is paid to the stoichiometric ratio of reactive species to toxic substrate (CWA or CWA simulant).

Abstract
Hierarchically ordered porous materials with tailored and inter-connected macro-, meso-, and micro-pores would facilitate the heterogeneous adsorption and catalysis processes for a wide range of applications but remain a challenge for synthetic chemists. Here, a general and efficient strategy for the synthesis of inverse opal metal-organic frameworks (IO MOFs) with a tunable size of macro-, meso-, and micro-pores is reported. The strategy is based on the step-wise template formation, precursor infiltration, solvo-thermal reaction, and chemical etching. As a proof of the general applicability of this strategy, a series of inverse opal zirconium-based MOFs with intrinsic micro- and/or meso-pores, including UiO-66, MOF-808, NU-1200, NU-1000 and PCN-777, and tunable macropores (1 µm, 2 µm, 3 µm, 5 µm, and 10 µm), have been prepared with outstanding yields. These IO MOFs demonstrate significantly enhanced absorption rates and faster initial hydrolysis rates for organophosphorus (OPs) aggregates compared to those of the pristine MOFs. This work paves the way for the further development of hierarchically ordered MOFs for advanced applications.

Abstract
Developing high-performance protective materials is important for soldiers and civilians who are exposed to the atmosphere of highly toxic chemical warfare agents (CWAs). Polyelectrolyte membranes are promising candidates with excellent chemical resistance and moisture permeability, but they cannot efficiently degrade CWAs. Here, we design and prepare a hybrid membrane through in situ growth of catalytically active zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks (Zr-MOFs) on a polyelectrolyte membrane mediated by biofilm-inspired curli nanofibers (CNFs). Superior to the bare polyelectrolyte membrane, the prepared MOF-808@CNF-PQ hybrid membrane exhibits improved rejection of the nerve agent simulant dimethyl methyl phosphonate (DMMP) vapor and permeation of the water vapor by 113 and 45%, respectively. The water/DMMP selectivity of the hybrid membrane reaches 498.6, approximately 13 times that of the commercial polyelectrolyte membrane Nafion 117. In addition, the hybrid membrane possesses appreciable catalytic activity for the hydrolysis of the nerve agent simulant dimethyl 4-nitrophenyl phosphate (DMNP) with a half-life of ∼38 min. Nanomechanical characterization results based on atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques demonstrate the critical role of CNFs in mediating Zr-MOF nucleation and the dominant effect of electrostatic interactions on self-assembly of CNFs on polyelectrolyte base. It is also confirmed that the Zr-MOF toppings serve as the key components in physically adsorbing and chemically degrading the DMNP molecules through multiple strong intermolecular interactions. Our work offers a rational strategy to develop advanced membranes toward efficient chemical protection, moisture permeation, and catalytic detoxification against CWAs.

Abstract
Defense against chemical warfare agents (CWAs) is regarded as a top priority for the protection of humanity, but it still depends on physical protection with severe limitations such as residual toxicity and post-treatment requirement. In this study, a strategically designed functional polymeric substrate was composited with a metal-organic framework catalyst to remove toxicity immediately. A series of PMMA-BPEI copolymers exhibited high processability as a coating and accelerated the catalytic activity of Zr(IV)-based metal-organic framework catalysts (UiO-66). Among them, PMB12_40 composite coating on a cotton fabric, containing a PMMA-BPEI copolymer (PMMA/BPEI = 1/2) and 40% of UiO-66 catalyst, can efficiently decompose nerve agent simulants (methyl-paraoxon) under both liquid phase (t1/2 = 0.14 h) and humidified (t1/2 = 4.8 h) conditions. Moreover, a real agent, GD, was decomposed 100% by PMB12_40 in 4 h at 25 °C and 65% relative humidity. On the basis of superior catalytic activity, the PMB composites are anticipated to be a potential material for active chemical protection coating.

Abstract
The world is currently suffering socially, economically, and politically from the recent pandemic outbreak due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and those in hospitals, schools, and elderly nursing homes face enhanced threats. Healthcare textiles, such as masks and medical staff gowns, are susceptible to contamination of various pathogenic microorganisms, including bacteria and viruses. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can potentially address these challenges due to their tunable reactivity and ability to be incorporated as porous coatings on textile materials. Here, we report how incorporating titanium into the zirconium-pyrene-based MOF NU-1000, denoted as NU-1012, generates a highly reactive biocidal photocatalyst. This MOF features a rare ligand migration phenomenon, and both the Ti/Zr center and the pyrene linker act synergistically as dual active centers and widen the absorption band for this material, which results in enhanced reactive oxygen species generation upon visible light irradiation. Additionally, we found that the ligand migration process is generally applicable to other csq topology Zr-MOFs. Importantly, NU-1012 can be easily incorporated onto cotton textile cloths as a coating, and the resulting composite material demonstrates fast and potent biocidal activity against Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli), Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus epidermidis), and T7 bacteriophage virus with up to a 7-log(99.99999%) reduction within 1 h under simulated daylight.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown great success in aqueous-phase hydrolysis of nerve agents, with some even showing promise in the gas phase. However, both aqueous-phase reactivity and gas-phase reactivity are hindered because of the binding of the hydrolyzed products to the MOF nodes in a stable, bridging configuration, which limits turnover. Single transition-metal atoms in MOFs have been a growing field of interest for catalytic applications, and single atoms have been proposed to prevent the unwanted bridged conformation and increase catalytic turnover. To date, there has been little experimental evidence to support the hypothesis. Herein, we report two copper single atom-modified UiO-66 MOFs for nerve-agent simulant degradation. Despite the capping of highly active Zr4+ nodes with fewer Lewis acidic Cun+ atoms, the reactivity of both CuMOFs approaches that of native UiO-66 under aqueous conditions. Computational studies reveal that the Cu coordination environment impairs product inhibition with respect to the native MOF.

Recently, metal-organic framework (MOF) materials have emerged as new promising candidates for the capture and degradation of various threats, like chemical warfare agents (CWAs) or radioactive species. Herein, we report a new synthesis method of MOF-textile composites by microwave irradiation, with direct anchoring of MOFs on textiles. The resistance of the composite has been tested using normed abrasion measurements, and non-stable samples were optimized. The protection capacity of the MOF-textile composite has been tested against dimethyl 4-nitrophenyl phosphate, a common CWA simulant, showing short degradation half-life (30 min). Radiological/nuclear protection has also been tested through uranium uptake (up to 15 mg g-1 adsorbent) and the capture of Kr or Xe gas at 0.9 and 2.9 cm3/g, respectively.

Abstract
Effective detection of pollutant gases is vital for protection of natural environment and human health. There is an increasing demand for sensing devices that are equipped with high sensitivity, fast response/recovery speed, and remarkable selectivity. Particularly, attention is given to the designability of sensing materials with porous structures. Among diverse kinds of porous materials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) exhibit high porosity, high degree of crystallinity and exceptional chemical activity. Their strong host-guest interactions with guest molecules facilitate the application of MOFs in adsorption, catalysis and sensing systems. In particular, the tailorable framework/composition and potential for post-synthetic modification of MOFs endow them with widely promising application in gas sensing devices. In this review, we outlined the fundamental aspects and applications of MOFs for gas sensors, and discussed various techniques of monitoring gases based on MOFs as functional materials. Insights and perspectives for further challenges faced by MOFs are discussed in the end.

Abstract
The fabrication of MOF polymer composite materials enables the practical applications of MOF-based technology, in particular for protective suits and masks. However, traditional production methods typically require organic solvent for processing which leads to environmental pollution, low-loading efficiency, poor accessibility, and loss of functionality due to poor solvent resistance properties. For the first time, we have developed a microbial synthesis strategy to prepare a MOF/bacterial cellulose nanofiber composite sponge. The prepared sponge exhibited a hierarchically porous structure, high MOF loading (up to ≈90 %), good solvent resistance, and high catalytic activity for the liquid- and solid-state hydrolysis of nerve agent simulants. Moreover, the MOF/ bacterial cellulose composite sponge reported here showed a nearly 8-fold enhancement in the protection against an ultra-toxic nerve agent (GD) in permeability studies as compared to a commercialized adsorptive carbon cloth. The results shown here present an essential step toward the practical application of MOF-based protective gear against nerve agents.

Abstract
Novichoks are a novel class of nerve agents (also referred to as the A-series) that were employed in several poisonings over the last few years. This calls for the development of novel countermeasures that can be applied in protective concepts (e.g., protective clothing) or in decontamination methods. The Zr metal-organic framework MOF-808 has recently emerged as a promising catalyst in the hydrolysis of the V- and G-series of nerve agents as well as their simulants. In this paper, we report a detailed study of the degradation of three Novichok agents by MOF-808 in buffers with varying pH. MOF-808 is revealed to be a highly efficient and regenerable catalyst for Novichok agent hydrolysis under basic conditions. In contrast to the V- and G-series of agents, degradation of Novichoks is demonstrated to proceed in two consecutive hydrolysis steps. Initial extremely rapid P-F bond breaking is followed by MOF-catalyzed removal of the amidine group from the intermediate product. The intermediate thus acted as a competitive substrate that was rate-determining for the whole two-step degradation route. Under acidic conditions, the amidine group in Novichok A-230 is more rapidly hydrolyzed than the P-F bond, giving rise to another moderately toxic intermediate. This intermediate could in turn be efficiently hydrolyzed by MOF-808 under basic conditions. These experimental observations were corroborated by density functional theory calculations to shed light on molecular mechanisms.

Abstract
Chemical warfare agents (CWAs) have become a pivotal concern for the global community and spurred a wide spectrum of research for the development of new generation protective materials. Herein, a highly effective self-detoxifying filter consisting of in-situ immobilized Zirconium hydroxide [Zr(OH)4] over woven activated carbon fabric [Zr(OH)4@W-ACF] is presented for the removal of CWAs. It was prepared to harness the synergistic effect of high surface area of W-ACF, leads to high dispersion of CWAs and high phosphilicity and reactivity of [Zr(OH)4]. The synthesized materials were characterized by ATR-FTIR, EDX, SEM, TEM, XPS, TGA, and BET surface area analyzer. The kinetics of in-situ degradation of CWAs over Zr(OH)4@W-ACF were studied and found to be following the first-order reaction kinetics. The rate constant was found to be 0.244 min-1 and 2.31 × 10-2 min-1 for sarin and soman, respectively over Zr(OH)4@W-ACF. The potential practical applicability of this work was established by fabricating Zr(OH)4@W-ACF as reactive adsorbent layer for protective suit, and found to be meeting the specified criteria in terms of air permeability, tearing strength and nerve agent permeation as per TOP-08-2-501A:2013 and IS-17380:2020. The degradation products of CWAs were analyzed with NMR and GC-MS. The combined properties of dual functional textile with reactive material are expected to open up new exciting avenues in the field of CWAs protective clothing and thus find diverse application in defence and environmental sector.

Abstract
Rapid and robust sensing of nerve agent (NA) threats is necessary for real-time field detection to facilitate timely countermeasures. Unlike conventional phosphotriesterases employed for biocatalytic NA detection, this work describes the use of a new, green, thermally stable, and biocompatible zirconium metal-organic framework (Zr-MOF) catalyst, MIP-202(Zr). The biomimetic Zr-MOF-based catalytic NA recognition layer was coupled with a solid-contact fluoride ion-selective electrode (F-ISE) transducer, for potentiometric detection of diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP), a F-containing G-type NA simulant. Catalytic DFP degradation by MIP-202(Zr) was evaluated and compared to the established UiO-66-NH2 catalyst. The efficient catalytic DFP degradation with MIP-202(Zr) at near-neutral pH was validated by 31P NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy and potentiometric F-ISE and pH-ISE measurements. Activation of MIP-202(Zr) using Soxhlet extraction improved the DFP conversion rate and afforded a 2.64-fold improvement in total percent conversion over UiO-66-NH2. The exceptional thermal and storage stability of the MIP-202/F-ISE sensor paves the way toward remote/wearable field detection of G-type NAs in real-world environments. Overall, the green, sustainable, highly scalable, and biocompatible nature of MIP-202(Zr) suggests the unexploited scope of such MOF catalysts for on-body sensing applications toward rapid on-site detection and detoxification of NA threats.

Abstract
We report the controlled synthesis of thin films of prototypical zirconium metal-organic frameworks [Zr6O4(OH)4(benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate-2-X)6] (X = H, UiO-66 and X = NH2, UiO-66-NH2) over the external surface of shaped carbonized substrates (spheres and textile fabrics) using a layer-by-layer method. The resulting composite materials contain metal-organic framework (MOF) crystals homogeneously distributed over the external surface of the porous shaped bodies, which are able to capture an organophosphate nerve agent simulant (diisopropylfluorophosphate, DIFP) in competition with moisture (very fast) and hydrolyze the P-F bond (slow). This behavior confers the composite material self-cleaning properties, which are useful for blocking secondary emission problems of classical protective equipment based on activated carbon.

Abstract
The most recent global health crisis caused by the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak and the alarming use of chemical warfare agents highlight the necessity to produce efficient protective clothing and masks against biohazard and chemical threats. However, the development of a multifunctional protective textile is still behind to supply adequate protection for the public. To tackle this challenge, we designed multifunctional and regenerable N-chlorine based biocidal and detoxifying textiles using a robust zirconium metal-organic framework (MOF), UiO-66-NH2, as a chlorine carrier which can be easily coated on textile fibers. A chlorine bleaching converted the amine groups located on the MOF linker to active N-chlorine structures. The fibrous composite exhibited rapid biocidal activity against both Gram-negative bacteria (E. coli) and Gram-positive bacteria (S. aureus) with up to a 7 log reduction within 5 min for each strain as well as a 5 log reduction of SARS-CoV-2 within 15 min. Moreover, the active chlorine loaded MOF/fiber composite selectively and rapidly degraded sulfur mustard and its chemical simulant 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES) with half-lives less than 3 minutes. The versatile MOF-based fibrous composite designed here has the potential to serve as protective cloth against both biological and chemical threats.

Abstract
Constructing versatile materials with self-detoxification properties are highly desired for emergency destruction of chemical warfare agents (CWAs). Herein, we first reported in-situ fabrication of ZnIn2S4/UiO-66-NH2 nanocomposites (ZnInS/UiO) and their application in catalytic detoxification of two CWA simulants. For nerve agent simulant dimethyl 4-nitrophenyl phosphate (DMNP), the optimal ZnInS/UiO-23.9 displayed 5.9 times increase in hydrolysis rate having the turnover frequency (TOF) of 0.0586 s-1 under simulated solar light (SSL), which is superior to the reported UiO-based catalysts. Photo-assisted enhancement in DMNP detoxification was due to photothermal effect of ZnInS and close interfacial contact in ZnInS/UiO heterostructures, facilitating instantaneous heat transfer from ZnInS to UiO catalytic sites. As for mustard gas surrogate 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES), under SSL irradiation for 15 min, ZnInS/UiO-23.9 can eliminate 96.7% of CEES in droplet experiment, being 4.17 and 3.24 times of ZnInS and UiO accordingly. It was ascribed to spatial separation of photoinduced electron-hole pairs and photothermally-assisted charge transfer in ZnInS/UiO composites, improving catalytic activity for CEES detoxification. Besides, the detected products suggested that CEES conversion underwent reductive dechlorination, radical reactions and hydrolysis. This study can be extended to other multifunctional catalysts based on metal-organic frameworks and provides new opportunities for photoassisted enhanced detoxification of CWAs.

Abstract
Highly evolved substrate channels in natural enzymes facilitate the rapid capture of substrates and direct transfer of intermediates between cascaded catalytic units, thus rationalizing their efficient catalysis. In this study, a nanoscale ordered mesoporous Ce-based metal-organic framework (OMUiO-66(Ce)) is designed as an artificial substrate channel, where MnO2 is coupled to Ce-O clusters as a super-active catalase (CAT). An in situ soft template reduction strategy is developed to deposit well-dispersed and exposed MnO2 in the mesochannels of OMUiO-66(Ce). Several synthesis parameters are optimized to minimize the particle size to ≈150 nm for efficient intracellular endocytosis. The mesochannels provide interaction guidance that not only rapidly drove H2 O2 substrates to CAT-like catalytic centers, but also seamlessly transfer H2 O2 intermediates between superoxide dismutase-like and CAT-like biocatalytic cascades. As a result, the biomimetic system exhibits high efficiency, low dosage, and long-lasting intracellular antioxidant function. Under disease-related oxidative stress, the artificial substrate channels promote the rate of the reactions catalyzed by MnO2 , which exceeds that of the reactions catalyzed by natural CAT. Based on this observation, a set of design rules for substrate channels are proposed to guide the rational design of super-active biomimetic systems.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are exceptionally large surface area materials with organized porous cages that have been investigated for nearly three decades. Due to the flexibility in their design and predisposition toward functionalization, they have shown promise in many areas of application, including chemical sensing. Consequently, they are identified as advanced materials with potential for deployment in analytical devices for chemical and biochemical sensing applications, where high sensitivity is desirable, for example, in environmental monitoring and to advance personal diagnostics. To keep abreast of new research, which signposts the future directions in the development of MOF-based chemical sensors, this review examines studies since 2015 that focus on the applications of MOF films and devices in chemical sensing. Various examples that use MOF films in solid-state sensing applications were drawn from recent studies based on electronic, electrochemical, electromechanical and optical sensing methods. These examples underscore the readiness of MOFs to be integrated in optical and electronic analytical devices. Also, preliminary demonstrations of future sensors are indicated in the performances of MOF-based wearables and smartphone sensors. This review will inspire collaborative efforts between scientists and engineers working within the field of MOFs, leading to greater innovations and accelerating the development of MOF-based analytical devices for chemical and biochemical sensing applications.

Abstract
Although banned by the Chemical Weapons Convention, organophosphorus nerve agents are still available and have been used in regional wars, terroristic attacks or for other crtaiminal purposes. Their degradation is of primary importance for the severe toxicity of these compounds. Here we report that gold nanoparticles passivated with thiolated molecules bearing 1,3,7-triazacyclononane and 1,3,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane ligands efficiently hydrolyze nerve agents simulants p-nitrophenyl diphenyl phosphate and methylparaoxon as transition metal complexes at 25 °C and pH 8 with half-lives of the order of a few minutes. Mechanistically, these catalysts show an enzyme-like behavior, hence they constitute an example of nanozymes. The catalytic site appears to involve a single metal ion and its recognition of the substrates is driven mostly by hydrophobic interactions. The ease of preparation and the mild conditions at which they operate, make these nanozymes appealing catalysts for the detoxification after contamination with organophosphorus nerve agents, particularly those poorly soluble in water.

Analysis of Organophosphorus-Based Nerve Agent Degradation Products by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS): Current Derivatization Reactions in the Analytical Chemist's Toolbox.

Abstract
The field of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) in the analysis of chemical warfare agents (CWAs), specifically those involving the organophosphorus-based nerve agents (OPNAs), is a continually evolving and dynamic area of research. The ever-present interest in this field within analytical chemistry is driven by the constant threat posed by these lethal CWAs, highlighted by their use during the Tokyo subway attack in 1995, their deliberate use on civilians in Syria in 2013, and their use in the poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal in Great Britain in 2018 and Alexei Navalny in 2020. These events coupled with their potential for mass destruction only serve to stress the importance of developing methods for their rapid and unambiguous detection. Although the direct detection of OPNAs is possible by GC-MS, in most instances, the analytical chemist must rely on the detection of the products arising from their degradation. To this end, derivatization reactions mainly in the form of silylations and alkylations employing a vast array of reagents have played a pivotal role in the efficient detection of these products that can be used retrospectively to identify the original OPNA.

Abstract
The most recent global health and economic crisis caused by the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak has shown us that it is vital to be prepared for the next global threat, be it caused by pollutants, chemical toxins or biohazards. Therefore, we need to develop environments in which infectious diseases and dangerous chemicals cannot be spread or misused so easily. Especially, those who put themselves in situations of most exposure - doctors, nurses and those protecting and caring for the safety of others - should be adequately protected. In this Review, we explore how the development of coatings for surfaces and functionalized fabrics can help to accelerate the inactivation of biological and chemical toxins. We start by looking at recent advancements in the use of metal and metal-oxide-based catalysts for the inactivation of pathogenic threats, with a focus on identifying specific chemical bonds that can be targeted. We then discuss the use of metal-organic frameworks on textiles for the capture and degradation of various chemical warfare agents and their simulants, their long-term efficacy and the challenges they face.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as promising materials have been widely used in drug delivery, disease diagnosis and therapy; however, their effects on the reproductive system remain unknown, which hinders their further clinical applications. Here we show that repeated subcutaneous injections of copper MOFs (HKUST-1) induce higher toxicity into the male reproductive system relative to the female reproductive system, with disrupted seminiferous tubule histology, sperm generation disorder, irreversible sperm morphological abnormities and reduced pregnancy rate but only slight follicle dysfunction and pregnancy complications in female mice. Interestingly, the modification of HKUST-1 with folic acid attenuates the reproductive toxicity and even improves pregnancy and fetus development. This study confirms the gender-dependent toxicity of HKUST-1 to the reproductive system, and that folic acid modification could relieve the reproductive toxicity, thus providing us a deep understanding of reproductive toxicity of copper MOFs, and also a guideline and feasible way to improve the biocompatibility of copper MOFs for potential medical use.

Textile-based wearable solid-contact flexible fluoride sensor: Toward biodetection of G-type nerve agents. Biosens Bioelectron 2021; 182:113172.

Abstract
Rising global concerns posed by chemical and biological threat agents highlight the critical need to develop reliable strategies for the real-time detection of such threats. While wearable sensing technology is well suited to fulfill this task, the use of on-body devices for rapid and selective field identification of chemical agents is relatively a new area. This work describes a flexible printed textile-based solid-contact potentiometric sensor for the selective detection of fluoride anions liberated by the biocatalytic hydrolysis of fluorine-containing G-type nerve agents (such as sarin or soman). The newly developed solid-contact textile fluoride sensor relies on a fluoride-selective bis(fluorodioctylstannyl)methane ionophore to provide attractive analytical performance with near-Nernstian sensitivity and effective discrimination against common anions, along with excellent reversibility and repeatability for dynamically changing fluoride concentrations. By using stress-enduring printed inks and serpentine structures along with stretchable textile substrates, the resulting textile-based fluoride sensor exhibits robust mechanical resiliency under severe mechanical strains. Such realization of an effective textile-based fluoride-selective electrode allowed biosensing of the nerve-agent simulant diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP), in connection to immobilized organophosphorus acid anhydrolylase (OPAA) or organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH) enzymes. A user-friendly portable electronic module transmits data from the new textile-based potentiometric biosensor wirelessly to a nearby smartphone for alerting the wearer instantaneously about potential chemical threats. While expanding the scope of wearable solid-contact anion sensors, such a textile-based potentiometric fluoride electrode transducer offers particular promise for effective discrimination of G-type neurotoxins from organophosphate (OP) pesticides, toward specific field detection of these agents in diverse defense settings.
