Abstract
We report a metal ion-modulated effective strategy to achieve different metal-organic framework (MOF) micro/nanostructures using different metal precursors like CoCl2 ⋅ 6H2 O, CoCl2 ⋅ 6H2 O and NiCl2 ⋅ 6H2 O, and NiCl2 ⋅ 6H2 O with pyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate (3,5-pdc). The structural characterizations confirm that different morphological structures, hollow microsphere, hierarchical nanoflower, and solid nanosphere are for Co-(3,5-pdc), Co0.19 Ni0.81 -(3,5-pdc), and Ni-(3,5-pdc), respectively. These different MOF micro/nanostructures correlate with the coordination ability of Co and Ni with 3,5-pdc. Benefitting from the synergistic effect of the alloying metal nodes of Co and Ni producing rapid and rich redox reactions and the hierarchical nanoflower with higher surface area enabling excellent ion kinetics, the Co0.19 Ni0.81 -(3,5-pdc) exhibits higher specific capacitance of 515 F g-1 /273 C g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 than that of Ni-(3,5-pdc) (290 F g-1 /153.7 C g-1 ) and Co-(3,5-pdc) (132 F g-1 /67 C g-1 ), good rate capability and cycling stability. Moreover, the asymmetric supercapacitor device (Co0.19 Ni0.81 -(3,5-pdc)//AC) assembled from Co0.19 Ni0.81 -(3,5-pdc) and activated carbon (AC) achieves a maximum energy density of 42.6 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 277.3 W kg-1 .

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and ionic liquids (ILs) represent promising materials for adsorption separation. ILs incorporated into MOF materials (denoted as IL/MOF composites) have been developed, and IL/MOF composites combine the advantages of MOFs and ILs to achieve enhanced performance in the adsorption-based separation of fluid mixtures. The designed different ILs are introduced into the various MOFs to tailor their functional properties, which affect the optimal adsorptive separation performance. In this Perspective, the rational fabrication of IL/MOF composites is presented, and their functional properties are demonstrated. This paper provides a critical overview of an emergent class of materials termed IL/MOF composites as well as the recent advances in the applications of IL/MOF composites as adsorbents or membranes in fluid separation. Furthermore, the applications of IL/MOF in adsorptive gas separations (CO2 capture from flue gas, natural gas purification, separation of acetylene and ethylene, indoor pollutants removal) and liquid separations (separation of bioactive components, organic-contaminant removal, adsorptive desulfurization, radionuclide removal) are discussed. Finally, the existing challenges of IL/MOF are highlighted, and an appropriate design strategy direction for the effective exploration of new IL/MOF adsorptive materials is proposed.

Abstract
In order to explore a green, economic, and sustainable phenol production process, a heterojunction semiconductor materials g-C3N4/Zr-Fc MOF was synthesized via an in situ synthesis method. With the synergistic effect of photocatalysis and the Fenton effect, the composite could effectively catalyze the direct hydroxylation of benzene to phenol under visible light irradiation. The yield of phenol and the selectivity were 13.84% and 99.38% under the optimal conditions, respectively, and it could still maintain high photocatalytic activity after 5 photocatalytic cycles. Therefore, the designed photocatalysis-self-Fenton system has great potential in the field of the direct hydroxylation of benzene to phenol.

Abstract
The covalent organic framework (COF) shows great potential for use in gas separation because of its uniform and high-density sub-nanometer sized pores. However, most of the COF pore sizes are large, and there are mismatches with the gas pairs (3-6 Å), and the steric hindrance cannot work in gas selectivity. In this work, one type of COF (NUS-2) supported ionic liquid membrane (COF-SILM) was prepared for use in CO2/N2 separation. The separation performance was investigated using molecular dynamics simulation. There was an ultrahigh CO2 permeability up to 2.317 × 106 GPU, and a better CO2 selectivity was obtained when compared to that of N2. The physical mechanism of ultrahigh permeability and CO2 selectivity are discussed in detail. The ultrathin membrane, high-density pores and high transmembrane driving force are responsible for the ultrahigh permeability of CO2. The different adsorption capabilities of ionic liquid (IL) for CO2 and N2, as well as a gating effect, which allows CO2 passage and inhibits N2 passage, contribute to the better CO2 selectivity over N2. Moreover, the effects of the COF layer number and IL thickness on gas separation performance are also discussed. This work provides a molecular level understanding of the gas separation mechanism of COF-SILM, and the simulation results show one potential outstanding CO2 separation membrane for future applications.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) are room temperature molten salts that possess preeminent physicochemical properties and have shown great potential in many applications. However, the use of ILs in surface-dependent processes, e.g. energy storage, is hindered by the lack of a systematic understanding of the IL interfacial microstructure. ILs on the solid surface display rich ordering, arising from coulombic, van der Waals, solvophobic interactions, etc., all giving near-surface ILs distinct microstructures. Therefore, it is highly important to clarify the interactions of ILs with solid surfaces at the nanoscale to understand the microstructure and mechanism, providing quantitative structure-property relationships. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) opens a surface-sensitive way to probe the interaction force of ILs with solid surfaces in the layers from sub-nanometers to micrometers. Herein, this review showcases the recent progress of AFM in probing interactions and microstructures of ILs at solid interfaces, and the influence of IL characteristics, surface properties and external stimuli is thereafter discussed. Finally, a summary and perspectives are established, in which, the necessities of the quantification of IL-solid interactions at the molecular level, the development of in situ techniques closely coupled with AFM for probing IL-solid interfaces, and the combination of experiments and simulations are argued.

Abstract
Exploring a new type of smart membrane with tunable separation performance is a promising area of research. In this study, new light-responsive metal–organic framework [Co(azpy)] sheets were prepared by a facile microwave method for the first time, and were then incorporated into a polymer matrix to fabricate smart mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) applied for flue gas desulfurization and decarburization. The smart MMMs exhibited significantly elevated SO2(CO2)/N2 selectivity by 184(166)% in comparison with an unfilled polymer membrane. The light-responsive characteristic of the smart MMMs was investigated, and the permeability and selectivity of the Co(azpy) sheets-loaded smart MMMs were able to respond to external light stimuli. In particular, the selectivity of the smart MMM at the Co(azpy) content of 20% for the SO2/N2 system could be switched between 341 and 211 in situ irradiated with Vis and UV light, while the SO2 permeability switched between 58 Barrer and 36 Barrer, respectively. This switching influence was mainly ascribed to the increased SO2 adsorption capacity in the visible light condition, as verified by adsorption test. The CO2 permeability and CO2/N2 selectivity of MMMs in the humidified state could achieve 248 Barrer and 103.2, surpassing the Robeson's upper bound reported in 2019. New light-responsive MOF sheets were synthesized to fabricate a smart membrane, which displays switchable gas separation performance stimulated with UV-Vis light.![]()

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) membranes as a new type of water filtration membrane have shown great potential in water separation and purification. However, their long-term stability under cross-flow conditions and their antifouling property are two main concerns for practical separation and purification processes. In this work, a strategy of nanoparticle bridges based on amorphous TiO2 is developed to link adjacent WS2 nanosheets on a WS2 membrane surface, leading to a strong membrane surface with excellent stability during 204 h of continuous cross-flow filtration. Moreover, the amorphous TiO2 bridges also form a TiO2/WS2 heterojunction on the WS2 membrane surface, exhibiting an impressive photocatalysis-driving self-cleaning property by pollutant photodegradation. And the flux recovery ratio (FRR) exceeds 95% after three cycles of separation experiments. The excellent long-term stability and photocatalysis-driving self-cleaning property of the WS2/TiO2 membrane provide a new approach to construct robust 2D membranes.

Abstract
2D nanostructured materials, including inorganic and graphene nanosheets, have evoked plenty of scientific research activity due to their intriguing properties and excellent functionalities. The complementary advantages and common 2D crystal shapes of inorganic and graphene nanosheets render their homogenous mixtures powerful building blocks for novel high-performance functional hybrid materials. The nanometer-level thickness of 2D inorganic/graphene nanosheets allows the achievement of unusually strong electronic couplings between sheets, leading to a remarkable improvement in preexisting functionalities and the creation of unexpected properties. The synergetic merits of atomically coupled 2D inorganic-graphene nanosheets are presented here in the exploration of novel heterogeneous functional materials, with an emphasis on their critical roles as hybridization building blocks, interstratified sheets, additives, substrates, and deposited monolayers. The great flexibility and controllability of the elemental compositions, defect structures, and surface natures of inorganic-graphene nanosheets provide valuable opportunities for exploring high-performance nanohybrids applicable as electrodes for supercapacitors and rechargeable batteries, electrocatalysts, photocatalysts, and water purification agents, to give some examples. An outlook on future research perspectives for the exploitation of emerging 2D nanosheet-based hybrid materials is also presented along with novel synthetic strategies to maximize the synergetic advantage of atomically mixed 2D inorganic-graphene nanosheets.

Abstract
Because of increasing antibiotic resistance, careful construction of an efficient phototherm-nanozyme-hydrogel synergistic antibacterial platform is imperative for the treatment of bacteria-infected wounds. In this study, a carrageenan-based hydrogel embedded with polyethylene glycol dicarboxylic acid (COOH-PEG-COOH)-functionalized zirconium-ferrocene metal-organic frames nanosheets (PEG@Zr-Fc MOF hydrogel) was successfully constructed through COOH-PEG-COOH modification and physical assembly. The PEG@Zr-Fc MOF hydrogel could capture Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) and Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) bacteria through reactive oxygen species (ROS) destruction and kill some bacteria by disintegration of H2O2 into toxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH). Significantly, by introducing the photothermal performance of the PEG@Zr-Fc MOF hydrogel, the catalytic activity of the target material could be improved to achieve a synergistic sterilization effect. The wound infection model experiment confirmed that the PEG@Zr-Fc MOF hydrogel had powerful bactericidal activity and could achieve a rapid tissue repair effect. More importantly, the PEG@Zr-Fc MOF hydrogel had negligible biological toxicity and reduced the risk of inflammation. This study reveals that phototherm-nanozyme-hydrogel synergy holds great potential for bacterial wound infection therapy. Additionally, this is the first study to use two-dimensional MOF nanozymes in combination with hydrogel for antimicrobial therapy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Bacteria-infected wound is one of the serious threats to public health, and this topic has attracted tremendous attention worldwide in recent decades. Although numerous traditional therapeutic strategies that depend on antibiotics have been developed and applied for treating bacteria-infected wound disease, the effect of wound treatment is becoming increasingly unsatisfactory due to bacterial resistance. The present study provides a feasible method to treat bacterial wound infection by constructing a carrageenan-based hydrogel embedded with polyethylene glycol dicarboxylic acid (COOH-PEG-COOH) functionalized zirconium-ferrocene metal organic frame nanosheets (PEG@Zr-Fc MOF hydrogel). The experiments with the wound infection model confirmed that the PEG@Zr-Fc MOF hydrogel had powerful bactericidal activity and could achieve a rapid tissue repair. This strategy provides a promising avenue to further accelerate the development of antibacterial therapy in biomedical fields.

Abstract
A facile synthesis is reported of two-dimensional (2D) bimetallic (Fe/Co=1:2) metal-organic frameworks (MOF, ca. 2.2 nm thick) via simple stirring of the reaction mixture of Fe/Co salts and 1,4-benzene dicarboxylic acid (1,4-BDC) in the presence of triethylamine and water at room temperature. The mechanism of the 2D, rather than bulk, MOF was revealed by studying the role of each component in the reaction mixture. It was found that these 2D MOF-Fe/Co(1:2) exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) under basic conditions. The electrocatalytic mechanism was disclosed via both experimental results and density functional theory (DFT) calculation. The 2D morphology and co-doping of Fe/Co contributed to the superior OER performance of the 2D MOF-Fe/Co(1:2). The simple and efficient synthetic method is suitable for the mass production and future commercialization of functional 2D MOF with low cost and high yield.
