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
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
To address the issue of bacterial growth on fresh-cut fruits, this paper reports the synthesis of nanosized γ-cyclodextrin metal-organic frameworks (CD-MOFs) using an ultrasound-assisted method and their application as carriers of limonene for antibacterial active packaging. The effects of the processing parameters on the morphology and crystallinity of the CD-MOFs are investigated, and the results prove that the addition of methanol is the key to producing nanosized CD-MOFs. The limonene loading content of the nanosized CD-MOFs can reach approximately 170 mg g-1. The sustained-release behaviors of limonene in the CD-MOFs are evaluated. Molecular docking simulations reveal the distribution and binding sites of limonene in the CD-MOFs. CD-MOFs are deposited on the surfaces of polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibers via an immersion method, and limonene-loaded CD-MOF@PCL nanofibers are prepared. The morphology, crystallinity, thermal stability, mechanical properties, and antibacterial activity of the nanofibers are also studied. The nanofiber film effectively inhibits bacterial growth and prolongs the shelf life of fresh-cut apples. This study provides a novel strategy for developing antibacterial active packaging materials based on CD-MOFs and PCL nanofibers.

Fibrous Zr-MOF Nanozyme Aerogels with Macro-Nanoporous Structure for Enhanced Catalytic Hydrolysis of Organophosphate Toxins. ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2024; 36:e2300951.

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.

Abstract
Natural metalloenzymes with astonishing reaction activity and specificity underpin essential life transformations. Nevertheless, enzymes only operate under mild conditions to keep sophisticated structures active, limiting their potential applications. Artificial metalloenzymes that recapitulate the catalytic activity of enzymes can not only circumvent the enzymatic fragility but also bring versatile functions into practice. Among them, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) featuring diverse and site-isolated metal sites and supramolecular structures have emerged as promising candidates for metalloenzymes to move toward unparalleled properties and behaviour of enzymes. In this review, we systematically summarize the significant advances in MOF-based metalloenzyme mimics with a special emphasis on active pocket engineering at the atomic level, including primary catalytic sites and secondary coordination spheres. Then, the deep understanding of catalytic mechanisms and their advanced applications are discussed. Finally, a perspective on this emerging frontier research is provided to advance bioinspired catalysis.

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

Abstract
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
In this study, MIL-53(Fe) was innovatively incorporated into carbon felt (CF) by growing in-situ using the solvothermal method. MIL-53(Fe)@carbon felt (MIL-53(Fe)@CF) was prepared and used for the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB). As a new photocatalytic membrane, MIL-53(Fe)@CF photocatalytic membrane has the characteristics of high degradation efficiency and recyclability. Influence of various parameters including MIL-53(Fe)@CF loading, light, electron trapper type, and starting pH on RhB degradation were investigated. The morphology, structure, and degradation properties of MIL-53(Fe)@CF photocatalytic membrane were characterized. Corresponding reaction mechanisms were explored. The results indicated that pH at 4.5 and 1 mmol/L H2O2, 150 mg MIL-53(Fe)@CF could photocatalytically degrade 1 mg/L RhB by 98.8% within 120 min, and the reaction rate constant (k) could reach 0.03635 min-1. The clearance rate of RhB decreased by only 2.8% after three operations. MIL-53(Fe)@CF photocatalytic membrane was found to be stable.

Abstract
The development of functional materials that can detoxify multiple chemical warfare agents (CWAs) at the same time is of great significance to cope with the uncertainty of CWA use in real-world situations. Although many catalysts capable of detoxifying CWAs have been reported, there is still a lack of effective means to integrate these catalytic-active materials on practical fibers/fabrics to achieve effective protection against coexistence of a variety of CWAs. In this work, by a combination of electrospinning and in situ solvothermal reaction, PAN@Zr(OH)4@MOF-808 nanofiber membranes were prepared for detoxification of both nerve agent and blistering agent simulants dimethyl 4-nitrophenyl phosphate (DMNP) and 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES). Under the catalytic effect of the MOF-808 component, DMNP hydrolysis with a half-life as short as 1.19 min was achieved. Meanwhile, an 89.3% CEES removal rate was obtained within 12 h by adsorption and catalysis of MOF-808 and Zr(OH)4 components at ambient conditions, respectively. PAN@Zr(OH)4@MOF-808 nanofiber membranes also showed a superior blocking effect on CEES compared to bare PAN and PAN@Zr(OH)4 nanofiber membranes. Simultaneous protection against DMNP and CEES showed effective inhibition of both simulants for at least 2 h. The preparation method also imparted intrinsically good interfacial adhesion between the components, contributing to the excellent recycling stability of PAN@Zr(OH)4@MOF-808 nanofiber membranes. Therefore, the prepared composite nanofabrics have great application potential, which provides a new idea for the construction of broad-spectrum protective detoxification materials.

Abstract
Polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) have been attracting myriad scientific and technological attention due to their promising mechanical and functional properties. However, there remains a need for an efficient method that can further strengthen the mechanical performance of PNCs. Here, we propose a strategy to design and fabricate novel PNCs by incorporating porous fillers (PFs) such as metal-organic frameworks with ultrahigh specific surface areas and tunable nanospaces to polymer matrices via coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations. Three important parameters─the polymer chain stiffness (k), the interaction strength between the PF center and the end functional groups of polymer chains (εcenter end), and the PF weight fraction (w)─are systematically examined. First, attributed to the penetration of polymer chains into PFs at a strong εcenter end, the dimension of polymer chains such as the radius of gyration and the end-to-end distance increases greatly as a function of k compared to the case of the neat polymer system. The penetration of polymer chains is validated by characterizing the radial distribution function between end functional groups and filler centers, as well as the visualization of the snapshots. Also, the dispersion state of PFs tends to be good because of the chain penetration. Then, the glass transition temperature ratio of PNCs to that of the neat systems exhibits a maximum in the case of k = 5ε, indicating that the strongest interlocking between polymer chains and PFs occurs at intermediate chain stiffness. The polymer chain dynamics of PNCs decreases to a plateau at k = 5ε and then becomes stable, and the relative mobility to that of the neat system as well presents the same variation trend. Furthermore, the mechanical property under uniaxial deformation is thoroughly studied, and intermediates k, εcenter end, and w can bring about the best mechanical property. This is because of the robust penetration and interaction, which is confirmed by calculating the stress of every component of PNCs with and without end functional groups and PF centers as well as the nonbonded interaction energy change between different components. Finally, the optimal condition (k = 5.36ε, εcenter end = 5.29ε, and w = 6.54%) to design the PNC with superior mechanical behavior is predicted by Gaussian process regression, an active machine learning (ML) method. Overall, incorporating PFs greatly enhances the entanglements and interactions between polymer chains and nanofillers and brings effective mechanical reinforcements with lower filler weight fractions. We anticipate that this will provide new routes to the design of mechanically reinforced PNCs.

Abstract
Integrating metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) into electrospun nanofiber filters has become an effective method for improving particle filtration efficiency. This study hypothesized that there is an optimal amount of MOFs that can be integrated into electrospun nanofiber filters to achieve the maximum particle removal efficiency while minimizing the corresponding MOF synthesis time. To test the hypothesis, this study systematically explored the influence of the time-dependent in situ growing process of zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67), a typical type of MOFs, on the filtration performance of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) electrospun nanofibers. The results show that the surface morphology and chemical composition of the PAN/ZIF-67 hybrid nanofiber filters gradually changed with the reaction time. For PAN/ZIF-67 hybrid nanofiber filters with relatively low initial PM0.3-0.4 filtration efficiency, a reaction time of only 5 min was sufficient for the synthesis of the amount of ZIF-67 that maximized the PM0.3-0.4 filtration efficiency. However, for thick filters with high original PM0.3-0.4 filtration efficiency (>90%), the integration of ZIF-67 was not necessary, because the efficiency enhancement would not be significant. In addition, the enhancement of filtration efficiency for ultrafine particles was positively correlated with the amount of incorporated ZIF-67. In summary, this study shortened the synthesis time of the in situ incorporation of MOFs into electrospun nanofiber filters from more than 10 h (reported in the literature) to only 5 min.

Abstract
Since the emergence of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear risks, significant efforts have been made to create efficient personal protection equipment. 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
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
Environmental heavy metal ions (HMIs) accumulate in living organisms and cause various diseases. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have proven to be promising and effective materials for removing heavy metal ions from contaminated water because of their high porosity, remarkable physical and chemical properties, and high specific surface area. MOFs are self-assembling metal ions or clusters with organic linkers. Metals are used as dowel pins to build two-dimensional or three-dimensional frameworks, and organic linkers serve as carriers. Modern research has mainly focused on designing MOFs-based materials with improved adsorption and separation properties. In this review, for the first time, an in-depth look at the use of MOFs nanofiber materials for HMIs removal applications is provided. This review will focus on the synthesis, properties, and recent advances and provide an understanding of the opportunities and challenges that will arise in the synthesis of future MOFs-nanofiber composites in this area. MOFs decorated on nanofibers possess rapid adsorption kinetics, a high adsorption capacity, excellent selectivity, and good reusability. In addition, the substantial adsorption capacities are mainly due to interactions between the target ions and functional binding groups on the MOFs-nanofiber composites and the highly ordered porous structure.

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
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of porous organic-inorganic solids extensively explored for numerous applications owing to their catalytic activity and high surface area. In this work MOF thin films deposited in a one-step, molecular layer deposition (MLD), an all-gas-phase process, on glass wool fibers are characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and their capabilities towards toxic industrial chemical (TIC) capture and chemical warfare agents (CWA) degradation are investigated. It is shown that despite low volume of the active material used, MOFs thin films are capable of removal of harmful gaseous chemicals from air stream and CWA from neutral aqueous environment. The results confirm that the MLD-deposited MOF thin films, amorphous and crystalline, are suitable materials for use in air filtration, decontamination, and physical protection against CWA and TIC.

Abstract
The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic has aroused tremendous attention toward personal protective equipment (PPE) in both scientific research and industrial manufacture. Despite decades of development in PPE design and fabrication, there's still much room for further optimization, in terms, of both protection performance and wear comfort. Interdisciplinary efforts have been devoted to this research field in recent years. Significantly, the innovation of materials, which brings about improved performance and versatile new functions for PPEs, has been widely adopted in PPE design. In this minireview, recent progress in the development of novel materials and structural designs for PPE application are presented in detail with the introduction of various material-based strategies for different PPE types, as well as the examples, which apply auxiliary components into face masks to enrich the functionalities and improve the personal feelings in the pandemic period.

Abstract
Elaborate design of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) composites with enhanced properties is of fundamental interest and practical importance in the fields of catalysis. Typical strategies are usually focused on how to increase MOFs contents while lacking architecture design for performance improvements. Herein, we first report MOFs composites with Janus structures to boost catalytic performance by Le Châtelier's principle when using wood aerogel as a versatile platform. Janus structures mean that one part of the composite is still wood aerogel while the other part is decorated with MOFs. The underoil hydrophilicity of the wood aerogels endows the Janus composites with dehydration capacity for promoting the equilibrium movement so as to boost the catalytic performance. The catalytic performance of Janus composites for the Knoevenagel reaction increases more than 40% compared with those symmetric composites. Moreover, both the final conversion and the reaction rate are much better for the Janus composites than other state-of-the-art heterogeneous ZIF-8-based catalysts. Our design is general and paves the way to exploit composites with special architecture.

Abstract
Chemical warfare agents (CWAs) pose huge threats to ecological environments, agriculture, and human health due to the turbulent international situation in contemporary society. Zirconium hydroxide (Zr(OH)4) has captured the prime focus as an effective candidate for CWA decomposition but is often hindered by the isolated powder form. Here, we demonstrate a scalable three-dimensional space-confined synthetic strategy to fabricate nanoflake-engineered zirconic fibrous aerogels (NZFAs). Our strategy enables the stereoscopic Zr(OH)4 nanoflakes vertically and evenly in situ grown on the interconnected fibrous framework, remarkably enlarging the surface area and providing rich active sites for CWA catalysis. The as-synthesized NZFAs exhibit intriguing properties of ultralow density (>0.37 mg cm-3), shape-memory behavior under 90% strain, and robust fatigue resistance over 106 compression cycles at 40% strain. Meanwhile, the high air permeability, prominent adsorptivity, and reusability make them state-of-the-art chemical protective materials. This work may provide an avenue for developing next-generation aerogel-based catalysts and beyond.

Abstract
A novel aptamer@AuNPs@UiO-66-NH2 electrospun nanofibrous coating fiber for specific recognition of microcystin-LR (MC-LR) was proposed by using electrospinning, metal-organic frameworks (MOF) seed growth and AuNPs bridging aptamer strategies. Characterization of morphology, structure and stability of the obtained affinity nanofibrous coating fiber were investigated. High loading of MOFs and aptamers on the nanofibrous fiber were achieved and successfully applied for accurate identification of MC-LR by solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coupled with LC-MS. Highly specific recognition of MC-LR with little interference of analogs was achieved with extremely low LOD (0.004 ng/mL), good precision (CV% < 11.0%) and low relative error (RE% = -1.5% to -10.0%), which was rather better than that of the traditional SPME or SPE protocols. Satisfactory recoveries of MC-LR were obtained in the range of 92.0-96.8% (n = 3) in fortified tap water, raw pond water and river water samples. This work revealed an attractive alternative access to specific recognition and super-sensitive analysis of MC-LR in water.

Abstract
Poisons and poisonous weapons in armed conflict, especially chemical warfare agents (CWAs), pose serious threats to global security. Porous materials have recently been regarded as promising candidates to defend personnel in a CWA-contaminated environment, but challenges remain for integrating these materials into protective garments without sacrificing the intrinsic flexibility of fibers. Here, we report a rigid-flexible coupling hypercross-linking methodology to create flexible sponge-like nanofibers featuring hierarchical radial gradient porous nanoarchitectures, in which the inner structure is a mesoporous multichambered network, and the outer structure is a dense domain with a microporous network structure. Experimental and computational evidence supports the contention that sponge nanofibers with distinctive pore topology and robust bendability can be designed by manipulating the flexibility of building blocks. The resulting heterogeneous nanofibers exhibit integrated properties of spatially selective superstructures, abundant micropores, interconnected mesopores, a high surface area (579 m2 g-1), remarkable flexibility, and exceptional CWA affinity, which are extraordinarily effective for adsorptive performance (498 mg g-1). The successful synthesis of these materials might inspire the development of chemical protective materials in an efficient, self-standing, and structurally adaptive form.

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.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 417:126056.

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
A simple one-step approach that only uses commercially available small-molecule reagents was developed for the construction of metal-organic framework (MOF)@polymer core-shell composite particles. Here, the MOF particles were incorporated into a typical reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) polymerization solution containing a solvent, a chain-transfer agent, an initiator, and a monomer mixture with at least one hydrogen-bond-donating monomer such as 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate or acrylic acid. The elongation of polymer chains during polymerization gradually increases MOF/polymer interfacial interaction and eventually results in the adsorption of a random copolymer onto the MOF surface through hydrogen-bond cross-linking and MOF/polymer interfacial interaction. The continuous growth of the polymer leads to a uniform polymer coating on the MOF. Benefiting from the tacky polymer surface, these well-defined MOF@polymer composite particles can be further assembled into highly ordered monolayer composite thin films either alone or with an additional polymer matrix through the Langmuir-Blodgett technique.

Abstract
For environmental protection from exposure to airborne toxic gases, metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have drawn great attention as gas adsorbent options, with their advantages in chemical tailorability and large porosity. To develop a fiber-based gas filter that is effective against SO2 gas, zeolite imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8) was applied to polypropylene nonwoven by various methods. Among the tested methods, the sol-gel impregnation method showed the highest ZIF-8 loading efficiency. There existed an optimal loading of ZIF-8 for the maximum adsorption efficiency, and it was associated with the accessibility of gas molecules to the ZIF-8 pores and active sites. Dominant adsorption processes and mechanisms were investigated by fitting the theoretical sorption models to experimental data. The results demonstrate that the increased ZIF-8 loading to fibers, beyond a certain level, may hinder the diffusivity and increase the barrier effect, eventually decreasing the adsorption efficiency. This study is novel and significant in that a multifaceted approach, including experimental analysis, theoretical investigation, and computational modeling, was made for scrutinizing the intricate phenomena occurring in the gas sorption process. The results of this study provide the fundamental yet practical information on the manufacturing considerations for the optimal design of MOF-loaded fibrous adsorbents.

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
A simple method to improve the thermal decomposition of chemical warfare agent simulants is reported. Utilizing pyrolyzed cotton balls as a substrate for the delivery of an incendiary agent into a bulk volume of chemical warfare agent simulants, significant enhancements in the burning rates were achieved with respect to either other wicks or the incendiary agent by itself. To perform the decomposition experiments and follow the reaction in real time, while still addressing the important safety considerations related to experiments involving chemical warfare agent simulants and incendiary agents, a simple instrument was assembled in a laboratory hood, where all experiments were performed. Under ambient conditions, this method was able to enhance the decomposition of simulants for both sulfur mustard (HD) and sarin (GB) chemical warfare agents. Overall, the proposed approach represents one of the simplest and more cost-effective ways to improve the decomposition of these dangerous substances, presenting options for field expedient and low-cost processes that could be applied in the near future to the safe destruction of an actual CWA.

Abstract
Interfacial compatibility between metal-organic framework (MOF) films and the underlying substrates determines the integrity of MOF films and their associated functions, and thus it has been gaining growing attention. Herein, we present a comparison of adhesion properties at the chip level of two disparate nickel (Ni)-MOF films, respectively, obtained by direct hydro/solvothermal growth and template-directed conversion approaches. We demonstrate that the on-chip delamination/corrugation of the films obtained by the direct growth approach can be circumvented by adopting the template-directed approach, which enables delicate dissolution of primarily grown nanoflaked nickel hydroxide (Ni(OH)2) films and thus triggers the controllable formation of Ni-MOF films. Successful on-chip conversions of Ni(OH)2 layers to different Ni-MOF thin films with good homogeneity, compactness, and appreciable affinity to the substrates are verified by multiple microscopic and spectroscopic techniques. Notably, the resultant Ni-MOF films do not show delamination even after activation with additional treatments, such as solvent soaking, nitrogen (N2) blowing for 1 h, and scotch-tape tests. As a demonstration of the application of MOF films, a Ni-NDC (NDC stands for 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylate) MOF-coated sensor exhibits selective detection toward benzene vapor. This study highlights the importance of interfaces between MOF films and substrates and provides new perspectives for integrating MOF films onto microelectronic devices with robust adhesion for practical applications.

Abstract
Continuous and safe decomposition of chemical warfare agents (CWAs) is a critical requirement to protect both soldiers and citizens and to eliminate the stockpiles after the cold war. The Zr-based metal-organic framework (Zr-MOF) has been known as the most effective catalyst for decomposing CWAs, especially the most fatal nerve agents, however, its low processability due to the powder form limits its expansion to actual military applications. To this end, the composite membrane catalysts (CMCs) comprising the Zr-MOF (UiO-66 catalyst) and nylon 6 nanofiber (porous supporter) are developed by the simple integration of electrospray and electrospinning, resulting in selective immobilization of UiO-66 on the surface of the nylon 6 nanofibers. These strategical benefits of CMCs gave super catalytic durability including recyclability over five times without decreasing the catalytic activity for the decomposition of methyl paraoxon (MPO), a simulant of the nerve agent, in the presence of N-ethylmorpholine (N-EM), which was not achieved in the original particulate UiO-66. Because of the excellent physical and chemical stabilities of CMCs, the CMC with 56 wt % of UiO-66 (CMC56) decomposed 198 g of MPO within an hour in the continuous flow system with a flow rate of 21.6 mL h-1. This study highlights the important strategies in designing the feasible membrane-type catalysts with superior catalytic activity and robust durability for decomposing CWAs in the continuous flow system.

Abstract
Lightweight and wearable fabrics with rapid self-detoxification functions are highly desired to resist chemical warfare agents (CWAs). Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) with high specific surface area and customizability are singularly attractive because of their ability to effectively capture and catalytically degrade CWAs. Herein, photothermal graphene-based nanocomposite fabrics are designed by wet-spinning and chemical reduction of graphene oxide fibers followed by in situ growth of UiO-66-NH2. The flexible graphene fabrics decorated with UiO-66-NH2 nanoparticles exhibit an ultrafast photothermal catalytic decontamination of dimethyl 4-nitrophenyl phosphate (DMNP), a typical simulant of CWAs. The half-life of the degradation reaction decreases from 3.4 to 1.6 min under simulated solar light irradiation, a significant gain over the values reported in the literature. Furthermore, DMNP can be degraded in 20 min by the graphene/UiO-66-NH2 fabric, and even after 5 cycles the degradation efficiency still retains more than 92 %. More importantly, the photothermal conversion of graphene and its instantaneous heat transfer to the UiO-66-NH2 catalyst effectively accelerate the catalytic reaction kinetics, achieving the fast detoxification of DMNP. The combination of catalytic degradation of MOFs with photothermal conversion effect of graphene makes the lightweight and flexible fabrics promising for protection against CWAs and other pollutants.

Abstract
A UiO-66-NCS MOF was formed by postsynthetic modification of UiO-66-NH2 . The UiO-66-NCS MOFs displays a circa 20-fold increase in activity against the chemical warfare agent simulant dimethyl-4-nitrophenyl phosphate (DMNP) compared to UiO-66-NH2 , making it the most active MOF materials using a validated high-throughput screening. The -NCS functional groups provide reactive handles for postsynthetic polymerization of the MOFs into functional materials. These MOFs can be tethered to amine-terminated polypropylene polymers (Jeffamines) through a facile room-temperature synthesis with no byproducts. The MOFs are then crosslinked into a MOF-polythiourea (MOF-PTU) composite material, maintaining the catalytic properties of the MOF and the flexibility of the polymer. This MOF-PTU hybrid material was spray-coated onto Nyco textile fibers, displaying excellent adhesion to the fiber surface. The spray-coated fibers were screened for the degradation of DMNP and showed durable catalytic reactivity.
