Abstract
Water pollution and the global freshwater crisis are the most alarming concerns of the 21st century, as they threaten the sustainability and ecological balance of the environment. The growth of global population, climate change, and expansion of industrial processes are the main causes of these issues. Therefore, effective remediation of polluted water by means of detoxification and purification is of paramount importance. To this end, nanoscience and nanotechnology have emerged as viable options that hold tremendous potential toward the advancement of wastewater treatment methods to enhance treatment efficiency along with augmenting water supply via utilization of unconventional water sources. Materials at the nano level have shown great promise toward water treatment applications owing to their unique physicochemical properties. In this focus article, we highlight the role of new fundamental properties at the nano scale and material properties that are drastically increased due to the nano dimension (e.g. volume-surface ratio) and highlight their impact and potential toward water treatment. We identify and discuss how nano-properties could improve the three main domains of water remediation: the identification of pollutants, their adsorption and catalytic degradation. After discussing all the beneficial aspects we further discuss the key challenges associated with nanomaterials for water treatment. Looking at the current state-of-the-art, the potential as well as the challenges of nanomaterials, we believe that in the future we will see a significant impact of these materials on many water remediation strategies.

Abstract
The development of efficient oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts is of great significance because the water oxidation reaction at the photoanode is the rate-determining step in photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) water splitting. Herein, two hybrid photoanodes named BiVO4/COF-Azo and BiVO4/COF-Ben were prepared by in situ solvothermal growth on a modified BiVO4 photoanode. Characterization results revealed that the Azo and Ben COFs could match with BiVO4 well to form heterojunctions, which could effectively enhance the separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers. Also, the smaller impedance of the composite photoanodes and faster kinetics of the water oxidation reaction promoted the charge transmission and enhanced the reaction efficiency of the surface-reaching holes, respectively. As a result, the composite photoanodes exhibited a larger photocurrent and more negative onset potential compared to the pristine BiVO4. This work not only provides a new strategy to construct efficient hybrid photoanodes, but also expands the applications of COFs.

Abstract
We report on the synthesis and selective adsorption property of a novel threefold interpenetrated Zr-based metal-organic framework (MOF), [Zr12O8(OH)8(HCOO)15(BPT)3] (BPT3- = [1,1'-biphenyl]-3,4',5-tricarboxylate) (abbreviated as Zr-BPT). This MOF shows a high tolerance to acidic conditions and has permanent pores, the size of which (approx. <5.6 Å) is the smallest ever reported among porous Zr-based MOFs with high acid tolerance. Zr-BPT selectively adsorbs aryl acids due to its strong affinity for them and exhibits separation ability, even between strong acid molecules, such as sulfonic and phosphonic acids. This is the first demonstration of a MOF exhibiting selective adsorption and separation ability for strong acids.

Abstract
A novel set of four functionalized hydrophobic UiO-66-NHR series were synthesized through postsynthetic procedures, utilizing various benzoyl chlorides and UiO-66-NH2 as starting materials. This synthesis method was carried out by employing p- (1) and o-toluoyl (2), as well as 2- (3) and 4-fluorobenzoyl (4) substituents. The analysis of the resulting compounds was performed using conventional spectroscopic methods such as FT-IR and 1H NMR to quantify the conversion rate into amide. Furthermore, SEM and XPS techniques were employed for morphological and surface analysis. Finally, the evaluation of the chemical stability and contact angle using the sessile drop method was performed to evaluate the technological potential of these compounds for application in aqueous and acidic media (such as selective separation of different metals and wastewater recovery).

Abstract
Modern global industrialization along with the ever-increasing growth of the population has resulted in continuous enhancement in the discharge and accumulation of various toxic and hazardous chemicals in the environment. These harmful pollutants, including toxic gases, inorganic heavy metal ions, anthropogenic waste, persistent organic pollutants, toxic dyes, pharmaceuticals, volatile organic compounds, etc., are destroying the ecological balance of the environment. Therefore, systematic monitoring and effective remediation of these toxic pollutants either by adsorptive removal or by catalytic degradation are of great significance. From this viewpoint, porous organic polymers (POPs), being two- or three-dimensional polymeric materials, constructed from small organic molecules connected with rigid covalent bonds have come forth as a promising platform toward various leading applications, especially for efficient environmental remediation. Their unique chemical and structural features including high stability, tunable pore functionalization, and large surface area have boosted the transformation of POPs into various macro-physical forms such as thick and thin-film membranes, which led to a new direction in advanced level pollutant removal, separation and catalytic degradation. In this review, our focus is to highlight the recent progress and achievements in the strategic design, synthesis, architectural-engineering and applications of POPs and their composite materials toward environmental remediation. Several strategies to improve the adsorption efficiency and catalytic degradation performance along with the in-depth interaction mechanism of POP-based materials have been systematically summarized. In addition, evolution of POPs from regular powder form application to rapid and more efficient size and chemo-selective, "real-time" applicable membrane-based application has been further highlighted. Finally, we put forward our perspective on the challenges and opportunities of these materials toward real-world implementation and future prospects in next generation remediation technology.

Enhancement of adsorption efficiency of crystal violet and chlorpyrifos onto pectin hydrogel@Fe 3O 4-bentonite as a versatile nanoadsorbent. Sci Rep 2023; 13:10764. [PMID: 37402768 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-38005-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2023] [Accepted: 06/30/2023] [Indexed: 07/06/2023] Open
Abstract
The magnetic mesoporous hydrogel-based nanoadsornet was prepared by adding the ex situ prepared Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and bentonite clay into the three-dimentional (3D) cross-linked pectin hydrogel substrate for the adsorption of organophosphorus chlorpyrifos (CPF) pesticide and crystal violet (CV) organic dye. Different analytical methods were utilized to confirm the structural features. Based on the obtained data, the zeta potential of the nanoadsorbent in deionized water with a pH of 7 was - 34.1 mV, and the surface area was measured to be 68.90 m2/g. The prepared hydrogel nanoadsorbent novelty owes to possessing a reactive functional group containing a heteroatom, a porous and cross-linked structure that aids convenient contaminants molecules diffusion and interactions between the nanoadsorbent and contaminants, viz., CPF and CV. The main driving forces in the adsorption by the Pectin hydrogel@Fe3O4-bentonite adsorbent are electrostatic and hydrogen-bond interactions, which resulted in a great adsorption capacity. To determine optimum adsorption conditions, effective factors on the adsorption capacity of the CV and CPF, including solution pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time, and initial concentration of pollutants, have been experimentally investigated. Thus, in optimum conditions, i.e., contact time (20 and 15 min), pH 7 and 8, adsorbent dosage (0.005 g), initial concentration (50 mg/L), T (298 K) for CPF and CV, respectively, the CPF and CV adsorption capacity were 833.333 mg/g and 909.091 mg/g. The prepared pectin hydrogel@Fe3O4-bentonite magnetic nanoadsorbent presented high porosity, enhanced surface area, and numerous reactive sites and was prepared using inexpensive and available materials. Moreover, the Freundlich isotherm has described the adsorption procedure, and the pseudo-second-order model explained the adsorption kinetics. The prepared novel nanoadsorbent was magnetically isolated and reused for three successive adsorption-desorption runs without a specific reduction in the adsorption efficiency. Therefore, the pectin hydrogel@Fe3O4-bentonite magnetic nanoadsorbent is a promising adsorption system for eliminating organophosphorus pesticides and organic dyes due to its remarkable adsorption capacity amounts.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been a research hotspot for the last two decades, witnessing an extraordinary upsurge across various domains in materials chemistry. Ionic MOFs (both anionic and cationic MOFs) have emerged as next-generation ionic functional materials and are an important subclass of MOFs owing to their ability to generate strong electrostatic interactions between their charged framework and guest molecules. Furthermore, the presence of extra-framework counter-ions in their confined nanospaces can serve as additional functionality in these materials, which endows them a significant advantage in specific host-guest interactions and ion-exchange-based applications. In the present review, we summarize the progress and future prospects of iMOFs both in terms of fundamental developments and potential applications. Furthermore, the design principles of ionic MOFs and their state-of-the-art ion exchange performances are discussed in detail and the future perspectives of these promising ionic materials are proposed.

Abstract
Large-scale nuclear power plant production of iodine radionuclides (129 I, 131 I) pose huge threat in the events of nuclear disaster. Effective removal of radioiodine from nuclear waste is one of the most critical challenge because of the drawbacks of state-of-the-art adsorbents such as high cost, low uptake capacity and non-recyclability. Herein, two hydroxy-functionalized (-OH) hypercrosslinked polymers (HCPs), namely HCP-91 and HCP-92, have been synthesized and employed towards capture of iodine. High chemical stability along with synergistic harmony of high porosity and functionality of these materials makes them suitable candidates for capture of iodine from both vapor phase and water medium. Moreover, both the HCPs showed superior iodine removal performance from water in terms of fast kinetics and high removal efficiency (2.9 g g-1 and 2.49 g g-1 for HCP-91 and HCP-92 respectively). The role of functionality (-OH groups) and porosity has been established with the help of HCP-91, HCP-92 and non-functionalized biphenyl HCP for the efficient capture of I3 - ions from water. In addition, both HCPs exhibited excellent selectivity and recyclability towards triiodide ions, rendering the potential of these materials towards real-time applications. Lastly, Density functional theoretical studies revealed key insights and corroborate well with the experimental findings.

Abstract
According to 4H-chromenes importance, we synthesized a novel magnetic UiO-66 functionalized with 4,4′-diamino-2,2′-stilbenedisulfonic as an efficient and reusable solid acid catalyst for synthesizing 4H-chromene skeletons via a one-pot three components reaction in a green solvent. The structure of the synthesized catalyst was confirmed by various techniques including FT-IR, XRD, BET, TGA, TEM, EDX, and SEM, and also the product yields were obtained in 83–96% of yields for all the reactions and under mild conditions. The reported procedure presents an environmentally friendly approach for synthesizing a significant number of 4H-chromene derivatives. Correspondingly, MOF-based catalyst makes it easy to separate from reaction media and reuse in the next runs.

Abstract
Owing to detrimental impact of cyanide ion (CN- ) towards the entire living system as well as its availability in drinking water, it has become very important developing potential sensory materials for the selective and sensitive recognition of CN- ions in water. In the domain of sensory materials, luminescent metal-organic frameworks (LMOFs) have been considered as a promising candidate owing to their unique host-guest interaction, where MOFs can serve as an ideal scaffold for encapsulating relevant guest molecules rendering specific functionality. In this study, a post-synthetically modified MOF (viz., CuCl2 @MOF-867) was applied to recognize cyanide (CN- ) ions in water via "turn-on" response. The bipyridyl functionalities in MOF-867 were used to perform post-synthetic metalation to infiltrate CuCl2 inside porous architecture of the MOF. Moreover, a CuCl2 @MOF-867 based probe demonstrated highly selective and sensitive aqueous phase recognition of CN- ions even in the presence of other interfering anions such as Br- , NO3 - , I- , SO4 2- , OAc- , SCN- , NO2 - , etc. The selective binding of CN- ions to the copper-metal center has led to the generation of stable Cu(CN)2 species. This phenomenon has further resulted in a fluorescence turn-on response. The aqueous phase cyanide detection by the rationally modified MOF system exhibited very low limit of detection (0.19 μM), which meets the standardized limit stated by World Health Organization (WHO) that is 1.9 μM.

Abstract
Energy-efficient selective physisorption driven C2 H2 separation from industrial C2-C1 impurities such as C2 H4 , CO2 and CH4 is of great importance in the purification of downstream commodity chemicals. We address this challenge employing a series of isoreticular cationic metal-organic frameworks, namely iMOF-nC (n=5, 6, 7). All three square lattice topology MOFs registered higher C2 H2 uptakes versus the competing C2-C1 gases (C2 H4 , CO2 and CH4 ). Dynamic column breakthrough experiments on the best-performing iMOF-6C revealed the first three-in-one C2 H2 adsorption selectivity guided separation of C2 H2 from 1:1 C2 H2 /CO2 , C2 H2 /C2 H4 and C2 H2 /CH4 mixtures. Density functional theory calculations critically examined the C2 H2 selective interactions in iMOF-6C. Thanks to the abundance of square lattice topology MOFs, this study introduces a crystal engineering blueprint for designing C2 H2 -selective layered metal-organic physisorbents, previously unreported in cationic frameworks.

Abstract
Thanks to a bottom-up design of metals and organic ligands, the library of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has seen a conspicuous growth. Post-synthetically modified MOFs comprise a relatively smaller subset of this library. Whereas the approach of post-synthetic modification was seminally introduced for MOFs in the early 1990s, the earliest examples of post-synthetically modified MOFs are only congruous with adsorption and catalysis. The utility of PSM-derived MOFs for the sensing and capture of water contaminants is relatively niche. Arguably though, an increasing number of post-synthetically modified MOFs are finding relevance in the context of water pollutant remediation. In this article, we review the recent advances in this area and propose a structure-function relationship-guided blueprint for the future outlook.

Abstract
The effective capture of common water contaminants using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) presents a remedy for current environmental concerns arising from the pollution of water sources. The crystalline porous nature of MOFs, their high internal surface area, and exceptional tunability make them suitable candidates for sequestration and removal of pollutants. However, the efficiency of capture depends largely on the nature of the interactions between the anions and the MOF. In this work, to elucidate the host-guest interactions involved in the capture of such pollutants, we explore three characteristically different MOFs: ZIF-8, iMOF-2c, and MOF-74. We demonstrate by ab initio electronic structure calculations the importance of exploiting qualitatively different binding modes for strong host-guest interactions available in the selected MOFs. Our simulations reveal the relative performance of neutral and cationic adsorbents while underscoring the importance of employing MOFs containing open metal sites for the efficient uptake of anions.

Abstract
Water pollution from heavy metals and their toxic oxo-anionic derivatives such as CrO42-, Cr2O72-, HAsO42-, and HAsO32- has become one of the most critical environmental issues. To address this, herein, we report a new hydrolytically stable luminescent Zn(ii) based cationic metal organic framework (MOF), iMOF-4C, which further successfully exhibited a rare dual "turn off/on" fluorescence response toward Cr(vi), As(v) and As(iii) based oxo-anions respectively in water medium. In addition, iMOF-4C was found to maintain its superior selectivity in the presence of other concurrent anions (e.g. SO42-, Cl-, Br-, ClO4-, NO3-, SCN- and CO32-). More importantly, iMOF-4C exhibited an excellent selective and sensitive luminescence "turn-off" response towards CrO42- and Cr2O72- anions in water medium with the quenching constant (Ksv) values as high as 1.31 × 105 M-1 (CrO42-) and 4.85 × 105 M-1 (Cr2O72-), which are found to be the highest among the values reported in the regime of MOFs. Interestingly, iMOF-4C showed fluorescence "turn-on" response toward HAsO42- and HAsO32- with an enhancement coefficient (Kec) of 1.98 × 104 M-1 and 3.56 × 103 M-1 respectively. The high sensitivity and low detection limits make iMOF-4C more feasible for real-time sensing of such toxic oxo-anions in an aqueous medium. Furthermore, the probable sensing mechanism has been investigated by DFT calculation studies and discussed in detail.

Abstract
Fabricating new and efficient materials aimed at containment of water contamination, in particular removing toxic heavy metal based oxo-anions (e. g. CrO4 2- , TcO4 - ) holds paramount importance. In this work, we report two new highly stable imidazolium based ionic porous organic polymers (iPOPs) decorated with multiple interaction sites along with electrostatics driven adsorptive removal of such oxo-anions from water. Both the iPOPs (namely, iPOP-3 and iPOP-4) exhibited rapid sieving kinetics and very high saturation uptake capacity for CrO4 2- anions (170 and 141 mg g-1 for iPOP-3 and iPOP-4 respectively) and ReO4 - (515.5 and 350.3 mg g-1 for iPOP-3 and iPOP-4 respectively), where ReO4 - anions being the non-radioactive surrogative counterpart of radioactive TcO4 - ions. Noticeably, both iPOPs showed exceptional selectivity towards CrO4 2- and ReO4 - even in presence of several other concurrent anions such as Br- , Cl- , SO4 2- , NO3 - etc. The theoretical binding energy calculations via DFT method further confirmed the preferential interaction sites as well as binding energies of both iPOPs towards CrO4 2- and ReO4 - over all other competing anions which corroborates with the experimental high capacity and selectivity of iPOPs toward such oxo-anions.
