Abstract
Supported membranes and mixed matrix membranes have a limitation of harming the mass transfer due to the incompatibility between the support layer or the matrix and the active components of the membrane. Self-standing membranes, which could structurally abandon the support layer, altogether avoid the adverse effect, thus greatly facilitating the transmembrane mass transfer process. However, the abandonment of the support layer also reduces the membrane's mechanical properties and formability. In this review, our emphasis will be on self-standing membranes within the realm of materials and separation engineering. We will explore the materials employed in the fabrication of self-standing membranes, highlighting their ability to simultaneously enhance membrane performance and promote self-standing characteristics. Additionally, we will delve into the diverse techniques utilized for crafting self-standing membranes, encompassing interfacial polymerization, filtration, solvent casting, Langmuir-Blodgett & layer-by-layer assembly, electrospinning, compression, etc. Throughout the discussion, the merits and drawbacks associated with each of these preparation methods were elucidated. We also provide a brief overview of the applications of self-standing membranes, including water purification, gas separation, organic solvent nanofiltration, electrochemistry, and membrane reactor, as well as a brief description of the general strategies for performance enhancement of self-standing membranes. Finally, the current status of self-standing membranes and the challenges they may encounter were discussed.

Abstract
Here we describe the synthesis of a compositional series of metal-organic framework crystalline-inorganic glass composites (MOF-CIGCs) containing ZIF-8 and an inorganic phosphate glass, 20Na2O-10NaCl-70P2O5, to expand the library of host matrices for metal-organic frameworks. By careful selection of the inorganic glass component, a relatively high loading of ZIF-8 (70 wt%) was achieved, which is the active component of the composite. A Zn⋯O-P interfacial bond, previously identified in similar composites/hybrid blends, was suggested by analysis of the total scattering pair distribution function data. Additionally, CO2 and N2 sorption and variable-temperature PXRD experiments were performed to assess the composites' properties.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are revolutionizing a spectrum of industries, from groundbreaking gas storage solutions to transformative biological system applications. The intricate architecture of these materials necessitates the use of advanced computational techniques for a comprehensive understanding of their molecular structure and prediction of their physical properties. Coarse-grained (CG) simulations shine a spotlight on the often-neglected influences of defects, pressure effects, and spatial disorders on the performance of MOFs. These simulations are not just beneficial but indispensable for high-demand applications, such as mixed matrix membranes and intricate biological system interfaces. In this work, we propose an optimized CG force field tailored for ZIF-8. Our work provides a deep dive into sorption isotherms and diffusion coefficients of small molecules. We demonstrate the structural dynamics of ZIF-8, particularly how it responds to pressurization, which affects its crystal structure and leads to local changes in aperture size and area. Emphasizing the game-changing potential of CG simulations, we explore the characteristics of amorphization in ZIF-8. Through computational exploration, we aim to bridge the knowledge gap, enhancing the potential applications of nanoporous materials for various applications.

Abstract
Zeolitic-imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8), composed of a zinc center tetrahedrally coordinated with 2-methylimidazolate linkers, has garnered extensive attention as a selective filler for propylene-selective mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs). Recently, we reported an innovative and scalable MMM fabrication approach, termed "phase-inversion in sync with in situ MOF formation" (PIMOF), aimed at addressing the prevailing challenges in MMM processing. In this study, we intend to investigate the effect of additives, specifically sodium formate and 1,4-butanediol, on the modification of ZIF-8 filler formation within the polymer matrix in order to further improve the separation performance of the asymmetric MMMs prepared by the PIMOF. Remarkably, MMMs prepared with sodium formate as an additive in the coagulation bath exhibited an unprecedented C3H6/C3H8 separation factor of 222.5 ± 1.8 with a C3H6 permeance of 10.1 ± 0.3 GPU, surpassing that of MMMs prepared without additives (a C3 separation factor of 57.7 ± 11.2 with a C3 permeance of 22.5 ± 4.5 GPU). Our computational work complements the experimental investigation by studying the effect of ZIF-8 nanoparticle size on the specific surface interaction energy and apertures of ZIF-8. Calculations indicate that by having smaller ZIF-8 nanoparticles, stronger interactions are present with the polymer affecting the aperture of ZIF-8 nanoparticles. This reduction in aperture size is expected to improve selectivity toward propylene by reducing the permeability of propylene. These results represent a significant advancement, surpassing the performance of all previously reported propylene-selective MMMs and most high-quality polycrystalline ZIF-8 membranes. The notably enhanced separation performance primarily arises from the formation of exceedingly small ZIF-8-like particles with an amorphous or poorly crystalline structure, corroborated by our computational work.

Abstract
Posttreatment of pristine metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with suitable vapor may be an effective way to regulate their structures and properties but has been less explored. Herein, we report an interesting example in which a crystalline nonporous Eu(III)-MOF was transferred to a porous amorphous MOF (aMOF) via iodine vapor adsorption-desorption posttreatment, and the resulting aMOF showed improved turn-on sensing properties with respect to Ag+ ions. The crystalline Eu-MOF, namely, Eu-IPDA, was assembled from Eu(III) and 4,4'-{4-[4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)phenyl]pyridine-2,6-diyl}dibenzoic acid (H2IPDA) and exhibited a two-dimensional (2D) coordination network based on one-dimensional secondary building blocks. The close packing of the 2D networks gives rise to a three-dimensional supramolecular framework without any significant pores. Interestingly, the nonporous Eu-IPDA could absorb iodine molecules when Eu-IPDA crystals were placed in iodine vapor at 85 °C, and the adsorption capacity was 1.90 g/g, which is comparable to those of many MOFs with large BET surfaces. The adsorption of iodine is attributed to the strong interactions among the iodine molecule, the carboxy group, and the N-containing group and leads to the amorphization of the framework. After immersion of the iodine-loaded Eu-IPDA in EtOH, approximately 89.7% of the iodine was removed, resulting in a porous amorphous MOF, denoted as a-Eu-IPDA. In addition, the remaining iodine in the a-Eu-IPDA framework causes strong luminescent quenching in the fluorescence emission region of the Eu(III) center when compared with that in Eu-IPDA. The luminescence intensity of a-Eu-IPDA in water suspensions was significantly enhanced when Ag+ ions were added, with a detection limit of 4.76 × 10-6 M, which is 1000 times that of pristine Eu-IPDA. It also showed strong anti-interference ability over many common competitive metal ions and has the potential to sense Ag+ in natural water bodies and traditional Chinese medicine preparations. A mechanistic study showed that the interactions between Ag+ and the absorbed iodine, the carboxylate group, and the N atoms all contribute to the sensing performance of a-Eu-IPDA.

Abstract
The research on amorphous metal-organic frameworks (aMOFs) is still in its infancy, and designing and constructing aMOFs with functional pores remains a challenge. Two aMOFs based on Co(II) and heterotopic triangular ligands with large conjugated aromatic planes, namely aMOF-1 and aMOF-2, were constructed and characterized by IR, XPS, EA, ICP, XANS and so on. aMOF-1 possesses mesopores, whereas aMOF-2 possesses micropores. The porosity, conjugated aromatic plane and uncoordinated N atoms in the framework allow these aMOFs to adsorb iodine and dyes. The iodine adsorption capacity of aMOF-1 is 3.3 g per g, which is higher than that of aMOF-2 (0.56 g per g), mainly due to the expansion or swelling of aMOF-1 after iodine adsorption. The uptake of cationic dyes by aMOF-2 showed more rapid kinetics and a higher removal rate than that by aMOF-1, mainly due to the difference in the porosity and surface charge. Although the surface charges of aMOF-1 and aMOF-2 are negative, both of them showed significantly faster adsorption kinetics toward anionic dyes, among which methyl orange (MO) and Congo red (CR) can be removed in 5 min. This occurs possibly because the quick adsorption of Na+ ions alters the surface charge of the framework and promotes dye uptake. The adsorption capacities of aMOF-1 for MO and CR reached 921 and 2417 mg g-1, respectively. The correlation data for aMOF-2 are 1042 and 1625 mg g-1, respectively. All adsorption capacities are among the highest compared to many cMOFs. Adsorption in mixed dye solution is found to be charge-dependent, kinetic-dependent, and synergetic in these systems. The porosity, surface charge regulation during adsorption, weak interactions and multiple adsorption processes contribute to the dye adsorption performance.

Abstract
Propane/propene (C3 H8 /C3 H6 ) separation is essential in the petrochemical industry but challenging because of their similar physical and chemical properties. Adsorptive separation with C3 H8 -selective porous materials can energy-efficiently produce high-purity C3 H6 , which is highly promising for replacing conventional cryogenic distillation but suffers from unsatisfactory performance. Herein, through the precise incorporation of fluorinated functional groups into the confined pore space, a new fluorinated metal-organic framework (FDMOF-2) featuring the unique and strong C3 H8 -trap is successfully constructed. FDMOF-2 exhibits an unprecedented C3 H8 capture capacity of 140 cm3 cm-3 and excellent C3 H8 /C3 H6 (1:1, v/v) selectivity up to 2.18 (298 K and 1 bar), thus setting new benchmarks for all reported porous materials. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies reveal that the tailored pore confinement in FDMOF-2 provides stronger and multiple attractive interactions with C3 H8 , enabling excellent binding affinities. Breakthrough experiments demonstrate that C3 H8 can be directly extracted from various C3 H8 /C3 H6 mixtures with FDMOF-2, affording an outstanding C3 H6 production (501 mmol L-1 ) with over 99.99% purity. Benefiting from the robust framework and hydrophobic ligands, the separation performance of FDMOF-2 can be well maintained even under 70% relative humidity conditions.

Abstract
Coordination polymers (CPs) and their subset, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), can have porous structures and hybrid physicochemical properties that are useful for diverse applications. Although crystalline CPs and MOFs have received the most attention to date, their amorphous states are of growing interest as they can be directly synthesized under mild conditions. Directly synthesized amorphous CPs (aCPs) can be constructed from a wider range of metals and ligands than their crystalline and crystal-derived counterparts and demonstrate numerous unique material properties, such as higher mechanical robustness, increased stability and greater processability. This Review examines methods for the direct synthesis of aCPs and amorphous MOFs, as well as their properties and characterization routes, and offers a perspective on the opportunities for the widespread adoption of directly synthesized aCPs.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) glass is a new type of glass material, but it usually lacks sufficient porosity. Thus, regulating the pore structure of MOF glass to improve its adsorption performance is very important. Herein, we found that the porosity of MOF glasses agZIF-62 and agZIF-76 can be regulated via an ammonia-immersion approach. After ammonia immersion, the resulting agZIF-62-NH3 and agZIF-76-NH3 could be maintained in their glass states or converted to their amorphous states, respectively. Their porosity changed according to the gas adsorption experiments. Notably, compared with agZIF-62 and agZIF-76, the iodine uptake capacities for agZIF-62-NH3 and agZIF-76NH3 increased by 12 and 21 times, respectively. This work shows that the subsequent treatment of MOF glass can regulate their adsorption performance.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) glasses have demonstrated great potential for high-performance separation. Herein a uniform hybrid MOF glass membrane was fabricated by using the liquid state of ZIF-62 to facilitate the melting of ZIF-8. The doping of ZIF-8 enhanced both the adsorption capacity as well as the ideal C3H6/C3H8 selectivity of ZIF-62 glass. As expected, the hybrid glass membrane exhibited good C3H6/C3H8 separation performance while preserving the CO2 performance of the sole ZIF-62 membrane.

Abstract
Zinc imidazole framework-8, abbreviated as ZIF-8, is a member of the metal organic framework (MOF) family. The chemical architecture of ZIF-8 consists of zinc metal duly coordinated with an organic ligand/fragment, resulting in a cagelike three-dimensional network with unique porosity. Because of such a unique architecture and physicochemical property, ZIF-8 has recently been explored in various applications such as gas storage, catalysis, electrochemical sensing, drug delivery, etc. Electrochemical sensors are currently a hot topic in scientific advances, where small, portable, Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled devices powered by electrochemical output show a newer path toward chemo and biosensor applications. The unique electrochemical property of ZIF-8 is hence explored widely for possible electrochemical sensor applications. The application and synthesis of the bare ZIF-8 have been widely reported for more than a decade. However, new scientific advancements depict tailoring the bare ZIF-8 structure to achieve smart hybrid ZIF-8 materials that show more advanced properties compared to bare ZIF-8. The framework is formed by joining inorganic (metal-containing) units with organic linkers by reticular synthesis, which results in the formation of a cross-linked crystalline network with permanent porosity. This unique porosity of ZIF-8 has recently been utilized for the encapsulation of suitable guest species to enhance the native physicochemical activity of ZIF-8. These engineered ZIF-8 materials show excellent results, especially for electrochemical sensing application. This review is intended to describe the research, including the one done by our group, where the ZIF-8 pore size is used for encapsulating nanoparticles, enzymes, and organic compounds to avail suitable sensor applications.

Abstract
The poor penetration of nanomaterials in solid tumours and difficulty in monitoring their penetration depth are major obstacles in their application for the treatment of solid tumours. Herein, pH-responsive carbon dots (ZCD) based on a zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) were fabricated to achieve the deep delivery of the chemotherapeutic doxorubicin (DOX) via a hierarchical size/charge dual-transformation and transcytosis. The as-prepared ZCD accumulated in the solid tumour and the acidic tumour microenvironment further triggered its decomposition. Firstly, ZCD was decomposed by the weakly acidic extracellular microenvironment of the solid tumour, enabling it to transform into small and neutrally charged particles. Subsequently, these particles were endocytosed by lysosomes, and further disintegrated into smaller and positively charged particles, which could target the Golgi apparatus. Consequently, ZCD delivered DOX deep into the solid tumour via a size-shrinking strategy and Golgi-mediated transcytosis, thus significantly improving its antitumour efficacy. In addition, carbonization endowed ZCD with superior fluorescence property, which was enhanced in the acidic microenvironment, thus improving the sensitivity and accuracy of ex vivo monitoring of the penetration depth of the nanomedicine in real time. Collectively, our results confirmed that the carbon dots obtained via the direct carbonization of ZIF-8 simultaneously exhibited enhanced deep penetration into solid tumours and fluorescence, which could be monitored, and that the carbonization of functional materials is effective to enhance their fluorescence, and further broaden their applications.

Abstract
Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) have long been recognized as a prominent subset of the metal-organic framework (MOF) family, in part because of their ease of synthesis and good thermal and chemical stability, alongside attractive properties for diverse potential applications. Prototypical ZIFs like ZIF-8 have become embodiments of the significant promise held by porous coordination polymers as next-generation designer materials. At the same time, their intriguing property of experiencing significant structural changes upon the application of external stimuli such as temperature, mechanical pressure, guest adsorption, or electromagnetic fields, among others, has placed this family of MOFs squarely under the umbrella of stimuli-responsive materials. In this review, we provide an overview of the current understanding of the triggered structural and electronic responses observed in ZIFs (linker and bond dynamics, crystalline and amorphous phase changes, luminescence, etc.). We then describe the state-of-the-art experimental and computational methodology capable of shedding light on these complex phenomena, followed by a comprehensive summary of the stimuli-responsive nature of four prototypical ZIFs: ZIF-8, ZIF-7, ZIF-4, and ZIF-zni. We further expose the relevant challenges for the characterization and fundamental understanding of responsive ZIFs, including how to take advantage of their flexible properties for new application avenues.
