Abstract
The high capacity of electrodes allows for a lower mass of electrodes, which is essential for increasing the energy density of the batteries. According to this, silicon is a promising anode candidate for Li-ion batteries due to its high theoretical capacity. However, its practical application is hampered by the significant volume expansion of silicon during battery operation, resulting in pulverization and contact loss. In this study, we developed a stable Li-ion anode that not only solves the problem of the short lifetime of silicon but also preserves the initial efficiency by using silicon nanoparticles covered with glassy ZIF-4 (SZ-4). SZ-4 suppresses silicon pulverization, contact loss, etc. because the glassy ZIF-4 wrapped around the silicon nanoparticles prevents additional SEI formation outside the silicon surface due to the electrically insulating characteristics of glassy ZIF-4. The SZ-4 realized by a simple heat treatment method showed 74% capacity retention after 100 cycles and a high initial efficiency of 78.7%.

Preparation of MOF-Based Core-Shell Gel Particles with Catalytic Activity and Their Plugging Performance. Gels 2023; 9:gels9010044. [PMID: 36661810 PMCID: PMC9858013 DOI: 10.3390/gels9010044] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2022] [Revised: 12/14/2022] [Accepted: 12/26/2022] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Drilling fluid systems for deep and ultra-deep wells are hampered by both high-temperature downhole environments and lengthy cycle periods. Suppose that the gel particle-plugging agent, the primary treatment agent in the system, fails to offer durable and stable plugging performance. In such a scenario, the borehole wall is susceptible to instability and landslide after prolonged immersion, leading to downhole accidents. In this study, novel core-shell gel particles (modified ZIF) with ZIF particles employed as the core material and organosilicon-modified polyethylene polyamine (PEPA) as the polymer shell were fabricated using PEPA, in-house synthesized (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTS), and the ZIF-8 metal-organic framework (MOF) as the raw materials to enhance the long-term plugging performance of gel plugging agents. The modified ZIF particles are nanoscale polygonal crystals and differ from conventional core-shell gel particles in that they feature high molecular sieve catalytic activity due to the presence of numerous interior micropores and mesopores. As a result, modified ZIF exhibits the performance characteristics of both rigid and flexible plugging agents and has an excellent catalytic cross-linking effect on the sulfonated phenolic resin (SMP-3) and sulfonated lignite resin (SPNH) in drilling fluids. Consequently, a cross-linking reaction occurs when SMP-3 and SPNH flow through the spacings in the plugging layer formed by the modified ZIF particles. This increases the viscosity of the liquid phase and simultaneously generates an insoluble gel, forming a particle-gel composite plugging structure with the modified ZIF and significantly enhancing the long-term plugging performance of the drilling fluid.

Green Synthesis of Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks: A Review of Their Characterization and Industrial and Medical Applications. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 15:447. [PMID: 35057165 PMCID: PMC8779251 DOI: 10.3390/ma15020447] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2021] [Revised: 12/11/2021] [Accepted: 12/28/2021] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
Metal organic frameworks (MOF) are a class of hybrid networks of supramolecular solid materials comprising a large number of inorganic and organic linkers, all bound to metal ions in a well-organized fashion. Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are a sub-group of MOFs with imidazole as an organic linker to metals; it is rich in carbon, nitrogen, and transition metals. ZIFs combine the classical zeolite characteristics of thermal and chemical stability with pore-size tunability and the rich topological diversity of MOFs. Due to the energy crisis and the existence of organic solvents that lead to environmental hazards, considerable research efforts have been devoted to devising clean and sustainable synthesis routes for ZIFs to reduce the environmental impact of their preparation. Green chemistry is the key to sustainable development, as it will lead to new solutions to existing problems. Moreover, it will present opportunities for new processes and products and, at its heart, is scientific and technological innovation. The green chemistry approach seeks to redesign the materials that make up the basis of our society and our economy, including the materials that generate, store, and transport our energy, in ways that are benign for humans and the environment and that possess intrinsic sustainability. This study covers the principles of green chemistry as used in designing strategies for synthesizing greener, less toxic ZIFs the consume less energy to produce. First, the necessity of green methods in today's society, their replacement of the usual non-green methods and their benefits are discussed; then, various methods for the green synthesis of ZIF compounds, such as hydrothermally, ionothermally, and by the electrospray technique, are considered. These methods use the least harmful and toxic substances, especially concerning organic solvents, and are also more economical. When a compound is synthesized by a green method, a question arises as to whether these compounds can replace the same compounds as synthesized by non-green methods. For example, is the thermal stability of these compounds (which is one of the most important features of ZIFs) preserved? Therefore, after studying the methods of identifying these compounds, in the last part, there is an in-depth discussion on the various applications of these green-synthesized compounds.

Abstract
![]()
We present an in situ powder X-ray diffraction
study on the phase stability and polymorphism of the metal–organic
framework ZIF-4, Zn(imidazolate)2, at simultaneous high
pressure and high temperature, up to 8 GPa and 600 °C. The resulting
pressure–temperature phase diagram reveals four, previously
unknown, high-pressure–high-temperature ZIF phases. The crystal
structures of two new phases—ZIF-4-cp-II and ZIF-hPT-II—were
solved by powder diffraction methods. The total energy of ZIF-4-cp-II
was evaluated using density functional theory calculations and was
found to lie in between that of ZIF-4 and the most thermodynamically
stable polymorph, ZIF-zni. ZIF-hPT-II was found to
possess a doubly interpenetrated diamondoid topology and is isostructural
with previously reported Cd(Imidazolate)2 and Hg(Imidazolate)2 phases. This phase exhibited extreme resistance to both temperature
and pressure. The other two new phases could be assigned with a unit
cell and space group, although their structures remain unknown. The
pressure–temperature phase diagram of ZIF-4 is strikingly complicated
when compared with that of the previously investigated, closely related
ZIF-62 and demonstrates the ability to traverse complex energy landscapes
of metal–organic systems using the combined application of
pressure and temperature.

Abstract
In this study, two zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) called ZIF-4 and ZIF-zni (zni is the network topology) were characterized by sorption studies regarding their paraffin/olefin separation potential. In particular, equilibrated pure and mixed gas adsorption isotherms of ethane and ethene were recorded at 293 K up to 3 MPa. ZIF-4 exhibits selectivities for ethane in the range of 1.5–3, which is promising for continuous pressure swing adsorption (PSA). ZIF-4 shows high cycle stability with promising separation potential regarding ethane, which results in purification of the more industrial desired olefin. Furthermore, both ZIF materials were implemented in Matrimid to prepare a mixed matrix membrane (MMM) and were used in the continuous separation of a propane/propene mixture. The separation performance of the neat polymer is drastically increased after embedding porous ZIF-4 crystals in the Matrimid matrix, especially at higher feed pressures (3–5 barg). Due to the smaller kinetic diameter of the olefin, the permeability is higher compared to the paraffin.

Abstract
Molecular diffusion is commonly found to slow down with increasing molecular size. Deviations from this pattern occur in some host materials with pore sizes approaching the diameters of the guest molecules. A variety of theoretical models have been suggested to explain deviations from this pattern, but robust experimental data are scarcely available. Here, we present such data, obtained by monitoring the chain length dependence of the uptake of n-alkanes in the zeolitic imidazolate framework ZIF-4. A monotonic decrease in diffusivity from ethane to n-butane was observed, followed by an increase for n-pentane, and another decrease for n-hexane. This observation was confirmed by uptake measurements with n-butane/n-pentane mixtures, which yield faster uptake of n-pentane. Further evidence is provided by the observation of overshooting effects, i.e., by transient n-pentane concentrations exceeding the (eventually attained) equilibrium value. Accompanying grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations reveal, for the larger n-alkanes, significant differences between the adsorbed and gas phase molecular configurations, indicating strong confinement effects within ZIF-4, which, with increasing chain length, may be expected to give rise to configurational shifts facilitating molecular propagation at particular chain lengths.
