文摘Although zeolitic imidazolate frameworks(ZIFs)have bright prospects in wide fields like gas storage/separation,catalysis and medicine,etc.,their large-scale applications are bottlenecked by the absence of their low-cost commercial production technique.Here,we report an uncon ventional method suitable for environmentally friendly and low-cost mass-production of ZIFs.In this method,taking the synthesis of ZIF-8 as an example,ZnO was used instead of Zn(NO_(3))_(2) in traditional solvent synthesis methods and CO_(2) was introduced to dissolve ZnO in aqueous solution of 2-methylimidazole(HMeim)and form water soluble salt([ZnMeim]^(+)[MeimCOO]^(-))at room temperature.Then,by removing CO_(2) through heating or vacuuming,Meim-ions are produced and instantaneously assemble with[ZnMeim]^(+)s to generate ZIF-8 without any by product.Due to the absence of strong acid anions(such as NO^(-)_(3) and Cl^(-) et al.)in solution,the washing of filter cake required in the conventional approaches could be omitted and the filtrate containing only water and HMeim could be reused completely.This method is really green as no waste gas or liquid generates because CO_(2) and water could be recycled perfectly.It overcomes almost all bottlenecks occurred in commercial production of ZIF-8 when using traditional methods.A pilot plant was established for mass-production of ZIF-8 and hundreds kilograms of ZIF-8 was produced,which indicates that the new method is not only environmentally friendly but also low cost and commercial accessibility.It is expected that the new method would open an avenue for commercial applications of ZIFs.

文摘Freestanding carbon nanofibers loaded with bimetallic hollow nanocage structures were synthesized.The nanocages inherited the rhombic dodecahedral morphology of the zeolitic imidazolate framework(ZIF)precursors,ZIF-8 and ZIF-67.As anode materials for lithium-ion batteries(LIBs),the bimetallic nanocage-loaded freestanding carbon nanofibers effectively buffered volume expansions and alleviated pulverization through their different reduction and oxidation potentials.The higher capacities of the composite anodes arose via the formation of the Li_(x)Zn alloy and Li_(2)O by Zn and Co ions,respectively,and the enhanced conductivity conferred by the carbon nanofibers.A synergistic effect of the composite components toward the strong electrochemical performance(688 m A h·g^(-1)at 1200 m A·g^(-1))of the bimetallic nanocage-loaded fibers was demonstrated through the superior long-term stability of the anode(1048 m A h·g^(-1)after 300 cycles at 100 m A·g^(-1)),suggesting that the fabricated anode can be a promising material for use in portable LIBs.
文摘The use of intumescent flame retardants(IFRs)is considered an environmentally friendly and cost-effective strategy to suppress potential fire hazards from synthetic polymers.However,some conventional IFRs are neither efficient in developing a thermally stable char layer nor reducing the release of toxic byproducts during polymer combustion.In this work,we aim to discuss the effects of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks(ZIFs)on synergistically improving the flame retardancy behaviors in polypropylene(PP)composites,including thermal degradation(evolved gas analysis),free radical reactions in the gaseous phase(in-situ chemiluminescent image analysis),and carbonaceous structure in the condensed phase(micro-morphology and composition analysis).It is found that the transition metals in ZIFs can catalytically accelerate the crosslinking reaction at a lower initial temperature and decrease the amount of hydrocarbon volatiles in the gaseous phase.Once ignited,the embedded ZIFs can firstly bridge adjacent phosphorus chains in the polymer matrix to expand crosslinking degrees and then they are anchored in the developed N-doped phospho-carbonaceous networks after pyrolysis.As a result,more compact char residue structures are observed in the condensed phase for ZIF-reinforced composites.For example,by replacing 2 wt%of IFR with ZIF-67,the peak heat release rate,peak smoke production rate,and peak CO production rate are reduced by 69%,80%,and 72%,respectively,when compared to the conventional composite.These results indicate an excellent solution to resolve inherent fire hazards associated with IFRs in polymers and achieve necessary efficiency for industrial applications.It also provides a new strategy for determining flammability characteristics and combustion mechanisms of polymer composites using in-situ chemiluminescence analysis.

文摘Layered assembled membranes of 2D leaf-like zeolitic imidazolate frameworks(ZIF-L)nanosheets have received great attention in the field of water treatment due to the porous structure and excellent antibacterial ability,but the dense accumulation on the membrane surface and the low permeate flux greatly hinder their application.Herein,we synthesized m HNTs(modified halloysite nanotubes)/ZIF-L nanocomposites on modified m HNTs by in situ growth method.Interestingly,due to the different size of m HNTs and ZIF-L,m HNTs were packed in ZIF-L nanosheets.The hollow m HNTs provided additional transport channels for water molecules,and the accumulation of the ZIF-L nanosheets was decreased after assembling m HNTs/ZIF-L nanocomposites into membrane by filtration.The prepared m HNTs/ZIF-L membrane presented high permeate flux(59.6 L·m^(-2)·h^(-1)),which is 2-4 times of the ZIF-L membranes(14.8 L·m^(-2)·h^(-1)).Moreover,m HNTs/ZIF-L membranes are intrinsically antimicrobial,which exhibit extremely high bacterial resistance.We provide a controllable strategy to improve 2D ZIF-L assembles,and develops novel membranes using 2D package structure as building units.

文摘To find potential zeolitic imidazolate frameworks(ZIFs)for CO_(2)capture from flue gas,we built 169,898 ZIF models from 84,949 hypothetical zeolite networks.By calculating their lattice energies,accessible volumes to CO_(2),the isosteric adsorption heat(Qst)of H2 O,Henry’s constant ratio(SKH)of CO_(2)/N_(2),percent regenerability(R%),CO_(2)working capacity(ΔN CO_(2)),CO_(2)/N_(2)adsorption selectivity(S CO_(2)/N_(2))and adsorbent performance score(APS),we identi fied 49 hydrophobic ZIF structures that might outplay already-realised ZIFs built from the same imidazolate linkers for CO_(2)capture from flue gas.

文摘As a prevailing cathode material of lithium-ion batteries(LIBs),LiCoO_(2)(LCO)still encounters the tricky problems of structural collapse,whose morphological engineering and cation doping are crucial for surmounting the mechanical strains and alleviating phase degradation upon cycling.Hereinafter,we propose a strategy using a zeolitic imidazolate framework(ZIF)as the self-sacrificing template to directionally prepare a series of LiNi_(0.1)Co_(0.9)O_(2)(LNCO)with tailorable electrochemical properties.The rational selection of sintering temperature imparts the superiority of the resultant products in lithium storage,during which the sample prepared at 700℃(LNCO-700)outperforms its counterparts in cyclability(156.8 mA h g^(-1)at 1 C for 200 cycles in half cells,1 C=275 mA g^(-1))and rate capability due to the expedited ion/electron transport and the strengthen mechanical robustness.The feasibility of proper Ni doping is also divulged by half/full cell tests and theoretical study,during which LNCO-700(167 mA h g^(-1)at 1 C for 100 cycles in full cells)surpasses LCO-700 in battery performance due to the mitigated phase deterioration,stabilized layered structu re,ameliorated electro nic co nductivity,a nd exalted lithium sto rage activity.This work systematically unveils tailorable electrochemical behaviors of LNCO to better direct their practical application.

文摘Zeolite imidazole frameworks(ZIFs),a class of the metal organic framework,have been extensively studied in environmental applications.However,their environmental fate and potential ecological impact on plants remain unknown.Here,we investigated the phytotoxicity,transformation,and bioaccumulation processes of two typical ZIFs(ZIF-8 and ZIF-67)in rice(Oryza sativa L.)under hydroponic conditions.ZIF-8 and ZIF-67 in the concentration of 50 mg/L decreased root and shoot dry weight maximally by 55.2%and 27.5%,53.5%and 37.5%,respectively.The scanning electron microscopy(SEM)imaging combined with X-ray diffraction(XRD)patterns revealed that ZIFs on the root surface gradually collapsed and transformed into nanosheets with increasing cultivation time.The fluorescein isothiocyanate(FITC)labeled ZIFs were applied to trace the uptake and translocation of ZIFs in rice.The results demonstrated that the transformed ZIFs were mainly distributed in the intercellular spaces of rice root,while they cannot be transported to culms and leaves.Even so,the Co and Zn contents of rice roots and shoots in the ZIFs treated groups were increased by 1145%and 1259%,145%and 259%,respectively,compared with the control groups.These findings suggested that the phytotoxicity of ZIFs are primarily attributed to the transformed ZIFs and to a less extent,the metal ions and their ligands,and they were internalized by rice root and increased the Co and Zn contents of shoots.This study reported the transformation of ZIFs and their biological effectiveness in rice,highlighting the potential environmental hazards and risks of ZIFs to crop plants.

文摘A novel ZIF-8-CMC hybrid material was fabricated from the hybridization of ZIF-8 and carboxymethylcellulose(CMC) by impregnation method for n-hexane/3-methylpentane separation.The surface properties of ZIF-8 were tailored by introducing CMC into ZIF-8 nanoparticles.In this work,adsorption separation of n-hexane(nHEX) and 3-methylpentane(3 MP) on ZIF-8-CMC were investigated by batch vapor-phase adsorption and liquid-phase breakthrough adsorption.The adsorption selectivity of nHEX/3 MP reversed from preferable adsorption of nHEX to preferable adsorption of 3 MP upon the increasing of CMC containing in the hybrid materials.As the temperature increases,the adsorption amounts of nHEX and 3 MP decrease.With the increasing of CMC contents,the nHEX uptake decreased,the uptake capacity of 3 MP increased gradually.For liquid-phase breakthrough adsorption,the dynamic adsorption capacity of nHEX also decreased with the increasing of temperature.

文摘A novel flower-shaped zeolitic imidazolate framework(ZIF) doped organic-inorganic hybrid monolithic column(ZIF-HMC) was prepared by a simple sol-gel "one-step" method and utilized for efficient capillary microextraction(CME) of four brominated flame retardants.The prepared monolithic was characterized by Fourier transform infrared,scanning electron microscopy,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,energy disperse spectroscopy,and N_(2) adsorption-desorption.The parameters of CME were optimized by orthogonal array design.Under the optimal conditions,the ZIF-HMC showed excellent extraction efficiency,the limit of detection(LODs) and the limit of quantification(LOQs) were in the range of0.52$3.1 mg/L and 1.7$10 mg/L,respectively,and the proposed method demonstrated good recovery(88.8%–116.6%) with the RSD less than 13.6% and a reusability of at least 30 times.The ZIF-HMC possessed great potential for separating organic pollutants and the strategy used here could be extended to prepare other derivatized HMC functionalized monoliths.

文摘Peracetic acid(PAA)-based system is becoming an emerging advanced oxidation process(AOP)for effective removal of organic contaminants from water.Various approaches have been tested to activate PAA,while no previous researches reported the application of metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)materials for PAA activation.In this study,zeolitic imidazole framework(ZIF)-67,a representative MOFs,was facile synthesized via direct-mixing method at room temperature,and tested for PAA activation and sulfachloropyridazine(SCP)degradation.The as-synthesized ZIF-67 exhibited excellent performance for PAA activation and SCP degradation with 100%of SCP degraded within 3 min,owing to the specific MOFs structure and abundant Co^(2+) sites.The pseudo-first-order kinetic model was applied to fit the kinetic data,with rate constant k_(1) of ZIF-67 activated PAA system 34.2 and 156.5 times higher than those of conventional Co_(3)O_(4)activated PAA and direct oxidation by PAA.Radical quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance(EPR)analysis indicated that CH_(3)C(O)OO^(·)played a major role in this PAA activation system.Then,the Fukui index based on density functional theory(DFT)calculation was used to predict the possible reaction sites of SCP for electrophilic attack by CH_(3)C(O)OO^(·).In addition,the degradation pathway of SCP was proposed based on Fukui index values and intermediates detection,which mainly included the S-N bond cleavage and SO_(2)extrusion and followed by further oxidation,dechlorination,and hydroxylation.Therefore,ZIF-67 activated PAA is a novel strategy and holds strong potential for the removal of emerging organic contaminants(EOCs)from water.

文摘Developing high efficient bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts for clean energy applications like Zin-air battery(ZAB)is highly desired,because it would reduce the cost and speed up the practical application of ZAB.Here we use a dual metal-organic framework(MOF)synthesis strategy to prepare the N-doped carbon supported bimetallic FeCo nanoparticle catalysts(marked as FeCo@NC)by pyrolysis of Zn CoZIF/MIL-101(Fe)composite.The FeCo@NC exhibits remarkable electrocatalytic activity for ORR with half-wave potential of 0.89 V vs.the reversible hydrogen electrode(RHE)and robust durability for both ORR and OER(oxygen reduction reaction and oxygen evolution reaction),which is attributed to the generation of Fe_(0.26)Co_(0.74) crystalline phase and mesopores due to the dual-MOF synthesis strategy.The rechargeable ZAB based on FeCo@NC air electrode shows a maximum energy density of139.6 mW·cm^(-2) and excellent cyclic stability over 130 h,significantly surpassing the Pt and Ir-based ZAB.The present work provides a useful dual-MOF synthesis strategy for preparing high-performance multifunctional catalysts for ORR,OER and hydrogen evolution reaction(HER).

文摘To solve low efficiency,environmental pollution,and toxicity for synthesizing zeolitic imidazolate frameworks(ZIFs)in organic solvents,a KOH-assisted aqueous strategy is proposed to synthesize bimetallic ZIFs polyhedrons,which are used as precursors to prepare bimetallic selenide and N-doped carbon(NC)composites.Among them,Fe–Co–Se/NC retains the three-dimensional(3D)polyhedrons with mesoporous structure,and Fe–Co–Se nanoparticles are uniform in size and evenly distributed.When assessed as anode material for lithium-ion batteries,Fe–Co–Se/NC achieves an excellent initial specific capacity of 1165.9 m Ah·g^(-1)at 1.0 A·g^(-1),and the reversible capacity of Fe–Co–Se/NC anode is 1247.4 m Ah·g^(-1)after 550 cycles.It is attributed to that the uniform composite of bimetallic selenides and N-doped carbon can effectively tune redox active sites,the stable 3D structure of Fe–Co–Se/NCs guarantees the structural stability and wettability of the electrolyte,and the uniform distribution of Fe–Co–S nanoparticles in size esuppresses the volume expansion and accelerates the electrochemical reaction kinetics.

文摘Hybrid metal-organic framework(MOF)derivatives play a significant role in the novel catalyst development in energy conversion reactions.Here,we demonstrated the low-temperature fully fluorinated zeolitic imidazole framework(ZIF)coupled with a three-dimensional open framework Prussian blue analog(PBA)with combined advantages for electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction(OER)in water splitting reaction.The spectroscopic analysis and the electrochemical studies revealed the combined advantages of efficient electronic effect and active site synergism.Because of good conductivity improvement by Ndoped carbon derived from ZIF and the high electrochemical surface area and active site exposure from PBA derivatives,good catalytic performance was obtained on the optimal catalyst of Co Ni ZIF/Co Fe-PBAF-300,which required a low overpotential of 250 m V to reach 10 m A/cm^(2)loaded on the glassy carbon electrode,with Tafel slope of 47.4 m V/dec,and very high dynamic and steady stability.In addition,the multi-component with the mixed structure from highly polar metal fluorides promoted the easy formation of the active phase as revealed by the post-sample analysis.The current results showed a novel composite catalyst materials development from the hybrid MOF derivatives,which would be promising in the electrolysis of water oxidation reactions and energy-relevant catalysis reactions.

文摘Metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)are a subclass of porous materials that have gained considerable at-tention recently due to their unique properties and potential applications.However,MOFs may exhibit defects affecting their gas separation performance,limiting their practical applications.This review arti-cle focuses on defects in MOFs and their impact on gas separation.Additionally,the reports explore the potential of De novo and post-synthetic modification(PSM)to improve the gas separation properties by tuning their defects.The PSM of MOFs is discussed in detail,including the different types of modifications and their effects on the MOF properties.Finally,the article discusses the potential of PSM for practical gas separation applications,highlighting recent examples of MOF-based membranes and adsorbents with improved gas separation performance resulting from PSM.It is strategically reasonable to have defects inside the MOFs,but why is it so fascinating in gas separation applications?In this present review,we have tried to uncover the mystery of defects.Overall,this review highlights the importance of defects in MOFs and the potential of PSM strategies to enhance their gas separation properties.

文摘Composite solid electrolytes(CSEs)are considered among the most promising candidates for solid-state batteries.However,their practical application is hindered by low ionic conductivity and a limited lithium-ion transference number,primarily owing to the insufficient mobility of Li+.In this work,we design a heterojunc-tion nanoparticle composed of bimetallic zeolitic imidazolate frameworks(ZIFs)coupled with amorphous tita-nium oxide(TiO_(2)@Zn/Co–ZIF)as a filler to fabricate a composite solid-state electrolyte(PVZT).The amor-phous TiO_(2) coating facilitates salt dissociation through Lewis acid–base interactions with the anions of the lithium salt.Meanwhile,the Zn/Co–ZIF framework not only provides additional selective pathways for Li+transport but also effectively restricts anion migration through its confined pore size.The synergistic effect results in a high room-temperature ionic conductivity(8.8×10^(-4) S·cm^(-1))and a lithium-ion transference number of 0.47 for PVZT.A symmetrical cell using PVZT demonstrates stable Li+deposition/stripping for over 1100 h at a current density of 0.1 mA·cm^(-2).Additionally,a LiNi_(0.8)Co_(0.1)Mn_(0.1)O_(2)/Li full cell using PVZT retains 75.0%of its capacity after 1200 cycles at a 2 C rate.This work offers valuable insights into the design of func-tional fillers for CSEs with highly efficient ion transport.
