Abstract
In the past few years, metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have been assembled with (bio)polymers and a series of carbon-based materials (graphene, graphene oxide, carbon nanotubes, carbon quantum dots, etc.) leading to a wide range of composites differing in their chemical composition, pore structure and functionality. The objective was mainly to overcome the limitations of MOFs in terms of mechanical properties, chemical stability and processability while imparting novel functionality (electron conductivity, (photo)catalytic activity, etc.) and hierarchical porosity. These composites were considered for numerous applications including gas/liquid adsorption and separation, (photo)catalysis, biomedicine, energy storage, conversion and so on. The performance of such composites depends strongly on their microstructural and physico-chemical properties which are mainly driven by the chemical strategies used to design and process such composites. In this perspective article, we propose to cover this topic and provide a useful survey of recent progress in the synthesis and design of MOFs-carbon material composites. This article will describe the development of composites with increasing complexity in terms of porous architecture, spatial structuration and organisation, and functionality.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have become promising host materials for enzyme immobilization and protection. Herein, ZIF-8 nanocubes were successfully self-assembled onto yeast as a biological template to obtain hybrid Y@ZIF-8. The size, morphology, and loading efficiency of ZIF-8 nanoparticles assembled on yeast templates can be well-regulated by adjusting the various synthetic parameters. Particularly, the amount of water significantly affected the particle size of ZIF-8 assembled on yeast. Through using a cross-linking agent, the relative enzyme activity of Y@ZIF-8@t-CAT could be greatly enhanced and remained the highest even after seven consecutive cycles, with improved cycling stability, as compared to that of Y@ZIF-8@CAT. In addition to the effect of the physicochemical properties of Y@ZIF-8 on the loading efficiency, the temperature tolerance, pH tolerance, and storage stability of Y@ZIF-8@t-CAT were also systematically investigated. Importantly, the catalytic activity of free catalase was decreased to 72% by 45 days, while the activity of the immobilized catalase remained above 99%, suggesting good storage stability. The present work demonstrates that yeast-templated ZIF-8 nanoparticles have a high potential to be used as biocompatible immobilization materials and are promising candidates for the preparation of effective biocatalysts in biomedicine applications.

Abstract
The development of bio-MOFs or MOF biocomposites through the combination of MOFs with biopolymers offers the possibility of expanding the potential applications of MOFs, making use of more environmentally benign processes and reagents and giving rise to a new generation of greener and more bio-oriented composite materials. Now, with the increasing use of MOFs for biotechnological applications, the development of new protocols and materials to obtain novel bio-MOFs compatible with biomedical or biotechnological uses is needed. Herein, and as a proof of concept, we have explored the possibility of using short-peptide supramolecular hydrogels as media to promote the growth of MOF particles, giving rise to a new family of bio-MOFs. Short-peptide supramolecular hydrogels are very versatile materials that have shown excellent in vitro and in vivo biomedical applications such as tissue engineering and drug delivery vehicles, among others. These peptides self-assemble by noncovalent interactions, and, as such, these hydrogels are easily reversible, being more biocompatible and biodegradable. These peptides can self-assemble by a multitude of stimuli, such as changes in pH, temperature, solvent, adding salts, enzymatic activity, and so forth. In this work, we have taken advantage of this ability to promote peptide self-assembly with some of the components required to form MOF particles, giving rise to more homogeneous and well-integrated composite materials. Hydrogel formation has been triggered using Zn2+ salts, required to form ZIF-8, and formic acid, required to form MOF-808. Two different protocols for the in situ MOF growth have been developed. Finally, the MOF-808 composite hydrogel has been tested for the decontamination of water polluted with phosphate ions as well as for the catalytic degradation of toxic organophosphate methyl paraoxon in an unbuffered solution.

Enhanced catalytic oxidation of naproxen via activation of peroxymonosulfate by Fe-based metal-organic framework aerogels functionalized with Ag nanoparticles.

Abstract
In this study, Ag3PO4 and Fe-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)-functionalized three-dimensional (3D) porous gelatin aerogels (Ag/Fe@GMA) were fabricated and used as adsorbents and catalysts for the activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for naproxen (NPX) removal from water. The morphology, crystallinity, surface functional groups, and surface chemical element compositions of the fabricated Ag/Fe@GMA was evaluated using various analytical techniques. Our results showed that as an adsorbent, Ag/Fe@GMA showed a 18.0 % higher NPX adsorption capacity compared with the pristine aerogels. This can be attributed to the well-embedded Ag3PO4 and MOFs, indicating a stronger interaction between functionalized aerogels and NPX. After adsorption, 99.9 % of total NPX removal was achieved within 15 min by activating PMS and effectively generating •OH and •SO4- in water. The PMS/Ag/Fe@GMA aerogel system also showed high removal performance for rhodamine B (99.5 %) and tetracycline (93.7 %). Moreover, the Ag/Fe@GMA aerogels showed excellent reusability to achieve 95.7 % NPX removal efficiency after six times of recycling. This study revealed that the Ag/Fe@GMA aerogels had good potential for PMS activation and NPX removal. In particular, as an alternative to powdery materials, 3D shape of Ag/Fe@GMA with excellent reusability facilitates its application in the treatment of water contaminated with organic contaminants.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting is a technology that can precisely fabricate customized tissues and organs. Hydrogel materials that can embed living cells for use in 3D printing are called bioinks. However, there are only limited options of bioinks currently because they require the following features at once, such as printability, repetitive layer-by-layer stacking (stackability), structure stabilization, and biological properties. A polyurethane-gelatin double network hydrogel bioink was previously reported to own tunable modulus through changing the solid content, but cell viability at the high solid content is inevitably reduced. In the present study, the reinforcement effects of a metal-organic framework (MOF), zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8), in the PUG bioink were evaluated. The printability, stackability, thermoresponsiveness, and shear-thinning behavior of the PUG-ZIF-8 composite hydrogels were examined. It was found that the PUG composite hydrogel containing 1250 μg/mL ZIF-8 crystals showed significant structural stability and modulus enhancement (∼2.5-fold). However, the PUG bioink containing 1250 μg/mL ZIF-8 crystals may lead to cell senescence or death. The cytocompatible concentration of ZIF-8 crystals in the bioink was about 875 μg/mL, and this concentration was much higher than the reported tolerable amount (∼50 μg/mL) of ZIF-8 for biomedical applications. The strong reinforcement effect of ZIF-8 and the drug-loading/sensing possibilities of MOFs may open new opportunities for using MOFs in 3D bioprinting applications.

Abstract
We have developed a green and versatile method to prepare hierarchically porous Cu3(BTC)2@carboxymethyl chitosan (HKUST-1@CMCS) with a macroscopic shape control and designable performance via the cross-linking of Cu(II) ions with CMCS. Furthermore, atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses showed that the morphology of HKUST-1 could be controlled and changed by tailoring the surface roughness ( Rq) of polymer matrix. For the ball-like, fiberlike, and membrane-like composites, the matrix Rq values were 887, 88.4, and 18.2 nm and the average sizes of HKUST-1 crystals were about 10.2, 5.9, and 1.7 μm, respectively. It was found that the larger the Rq of the polymer matrix, the higher the drug payload. The results of drug release showed that the release percentage of dimethyl fumarate from HKUST-1@CMCS was 66% in 326 h, whereas that of Cu@CMCS was only 12 h. Obviously, the HKUST-1@CMCS had a long-acting and sustained release property compared to that of Cu@CMCS due to its complementary advantages of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and polymers. Therefore, this study not only provided an interesting way to make up for the shortcomings of MOFs and natural polymer but also developed a long-acting delivery system for a huge potential application prospect.

Abstract
Many living organisms are capable of producing inorganic materials of precisely controlled structure and morphology. This ubiquitous process is termed biomineralization and is observed in nature from the macroscale (e.g., formation of exoskeletons) down to the nanoscale (e.g., mineral storage and transportation in proteins). Extensive research efforts have pursued replicating this chemistry with the overarching aims of synthesizing new materials of unprecedented physical properties and understanding the complex mechanisms that occur at the biological-inorganic interface. Recently, we demonstrated that a class of porous materials termed metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can spontaneously form on protein-based hydrogels via a process analogous to natural matrix-mediated biomineralization. Subsequently, this strategy was extended to functional biomacromolecules, including proteins and DNA, which have been shown to seed and accelerate crystallization of MOFs. Alternative strategies exploit co-precipitating agents such as polymers to induce MOF particle formation thus facilitating protein encapsulation within the porous crystals. In these examples the rigid molecular architecture of the MOF was found to form a protective coating around the biomacromolecule offering improved stability to external environments that would normally lead to its degradation. In this way, the MOF shell mimics the protective function of a biomineralized exoskeleton. Other methodologies have also been explored to encapsulate enzymes within MOF structures, including the fabrication of polycrystalline hollow MOF microcapsules that preserve the original enzyme functionality over several batch reaction cycles. The potential to design MOFs of varied pore size and chemical functionality has underpinned studies describing the postsynthesis infiltration of enzymes into MOF pore networks and bioconjugation strategies for the decoration of the MOF outer surface, respectively. These methods and configurations allow for customized biocomposites. MOF biocomposites have been extended from simple proteins to complex biological systems including viruses, living yeast cells, and bacteria. Indeed, a noteworthy result was that cells encapsulated within a crystalline MOF shell remain viable after exposure to a medium containing lytic enzymes. Furthermore, the cells can adsorb nutrients (glucose) through the MOF shell but cease reproducing until the MOF casing is removed, at which point normal cellular activity is fully restored. The field of MOF biocomposites is expansive and rapidly developing toward different applied research fields including protection and delivery of biopharmaceuticals, biosensing, biocatalysis, biobanking, and cell and virus manipulation. This Account describes the current progress of MOFs toward biotechnological applications highlighting the different strategies for the preparation of biocomposites, the developmental milestones, the challenges, and the potential impact of MOFs to the field.

Abstract
Enhancing the robustness of functional biomacromolecules is a critical challenge in biotechnology, which if addressed would enhance their use in pharmaceuticals, chemical processing and biostorage. Here we report a novel method, inspired by natural biomineralization processes, which provides unprecedented protection of biomacromolecules by encapsulating them within a class of porous materials termed metal-organic frameworks. We show that proteins, enzymes and DNA rapidly induce the formation of protective metal-organic framework coatings under physiological conditions by concentrating the framework building blocks and facilitating crystallization around the biomacromolecules. The resulting biocomposite is stable under conditions that would normally decompose many biological macromolecules. For example, urease and horseradish peroxidase protected within a metal-organic framework shell are found to retain bioactivity after being treated at 80 °C and boiled in dimethylformamide (153 °C), respectively. This rapid, low-cost biomimetic mineralization process gives rise to new possibilities for the exploitation of biomacromolecules.
