[PMID: 38765892 PMCID: PMC11099331 DOI: 10.1016/j.ese.2024.100427] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2023] [Revised: 04/21/2024] [Accepted: 04/21/2024] [Indexed: 05/22/2024]
Abstract
Plastic waste discarded into aquatic environments gradually degrades into smaller fragments, known as microplastics (MPs), which range in size from 0.05 to 5 mm. The ubiquity of MPs poses a significant threat to aquatic ecosystems and, by extension, human health, as these particles are ingested by various marine organisms including zooplankton, crustaceans, and fish, eventually entering the human food chain. This contamination threatens the entire ecological balance, encompassing food safety and the health of aquatic systems. Consequently, developing effective MP removal technologies has emerged as a critical area of research. Here, we summarize the mechanisms and recently reported strategies for removing MPs from aquatic ecosystems. Strategies combining physical and chemical pretreatments with microbial degradation have shown promise in decomposing MPs. Microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, algae, and specific enzymes are being leveraged in MP remediation efforts. Recent advancements have focused on innovative methods such as membrane bioreactors, synthetic biology, organosilane-based techniques, biofilm-mediated remediation, and nanomaterial-enabled strategies, with nano-enabled technologies demonstrating substantial potential to enhance MP removal efficiency. This review aims to stimulate further innovation in effective MP removal methods, promoting environmental and social well-being.

Direct Z-scheme system of UiO-66 cubes wrapped with Zn 0.5Cd 0.5S nanoparticles for photocatalytic hydrogen generation synchronized with organic pollutant degradation. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 665:68-79.

Abstract
Optimized fabrication of Z-scheme photocatalyst based on MOF materials offers sustainable energy generation and environmental improvement due to their attractive properties. The Z-scheme heterojunctions consisting of UiO-66 cubes covered with Zn0.5Cd0.5S nanoparticles were fabricated by a facile solvothermal method. Thanks to the Z-scheme carrier transport under simulated sunlight irradiation, UiO-66@Zn0.5Cd0.5S exhibited enhanced photocatalytic performance of H2 generation synchronized with organic pollutant degradation in fluoroquinolone antibiotic wastewater. Synergistically, the highest comprehensive performance was obtained in ciprofloxacin solution. The H2 yield reached 224 μmol∙ g-1∙ h-1 and simultaneously the removal efficiency was up to 83.6 %. The degradation pathways revealed that the process of piperazine ring cleavage and decarboxylation also generates H protons, further promoting the production of H2. Therefore, the effective spatial separation and transfer of the photoinduced carriers are attributed to the good band structure, large specific surface area, and cooperative reduction and oxidation reactions of UiO-66@Zn0.5Cd0.5S, resulting in significant photocatalytic activity. The toxicity assessment of antibiotics and intermediate products during the photocatalytic reaction also verifies the reduction of environmental risk. This study highlights a promising way to expand the application of the MOFs-based photocatalyst in clean energy conversion coupling with water remediation.

Abstract
Nowadays, stereoselective control over the sheer variety of chemical transformations benefits from the multipotency of chiral Lewis acids. Their use under biocompatible conditions has long posed a challenge because profuse amounts of biogenic nucleophiles readily deactivate them. To bridge the gap between chiral Lewis acid catalysis and biocompatible chemistry, the conversion of UiO(BPY)-type nanosized metal-organic frameworks (NMOFs) into chiral variants was herein exemplified. The combination of an elongated 2,2'-bipyridyl linker and scandium salt with a hydrophobic anion proved essential to implement traits such as robustness, biocompatibility, and catalytic activity. The catalyst could construct sufficiently hydrophobic environments sequestered within the framework, catalyzing asymmetric ring-opening reactions of meso-epoxide with low catalyst loading to afford β-amino acid alcohols in high yield (up to >99%) with high enantioselectivity (up to 88%). Most impressively, it exhibited a tolerance to the ex vivo poisoning of chiral Lewis acid catalysis by biogenic nucleophiles in sharp contrast to conventional water-compatible Lewis acids.

Abstract
Three-dimensional interconnected nickel-cobalt layered double hydroxides (NiCo-LDHs) were prepared on nickel foam by ion exchange using a cobalt-based metal-organic framework (Co-MOF) as a template at different temperatures. The effects of the Co-MOF preparation temperature on the growth, mass, morphology, and electrochemical properties of the Co-MOF and derived NiCo-LDH samples were studied. The synthesis temperature from 30 to 50 °C gradually increased the mass of the active material and the thickness of the Co-MOF sheets grown on the nickel foam. The higher the temperature is, the larger the proportion of Co3+. β-Cobalt hydroxide (β-Co(OH)2) sheets were generated above 60 °C. The morphology and mass loading pattern of the derived flocculent layer clusters of NiCo-LDH were inherited from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The areal capacitance of NiCo-LDH shows an inverted U-shaped curve trend with increasing temperature. The electrode material synthesized at 50 °C had a tremendous specific capacitance of 7631 mF·cm-2 at a current density of 2 mA·cm-2. The asymmetric supercapacitor assembled with the sample and active carbon (AC) achieved an energy density of 55.0 Wh·kg-1 at a power density of 800.0 W·kg-1, demonstrating the great potential of the NiCo-LDH material for energy storage. This work presents a new strategy for designing and fabricating advanced green supercapacitor materials with large power and energy densities.

Abstract
Harnessing low-density solar energy and converting it into high-density chemical energy through photocatalysis has emerged as a promising avenue for the production of chemicals and remediation of environmental pollution, which contributes to alleviating the overreliance on fossil fuels. In recent years, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have gained widespread application in the field of photocatalysis due to their photostability, tunable structures, and responsiveness in the visible light range. However, most MOFs exhibit relatively low response to light, limiting their practical applications. MOFs-derived nanomaterials not only retain the inherent advantages of pristine MOFs but also show enhanced light adsorption and responsiveness. This review categorizes and summarizes MOFs-derived nanomaterials, including nanocarbons and nanometal oxides, providing representative examples for the synthetic strategies of each category. Subsequently, the recent research progress on MOFs-derived materials in photocatalytic applications are systematically introduced, specifically in the areas of photocatalytic water splitting to H2, photocatalytic CO2 reduction, and photocatalytic water treatment. The corresponding mechanisms involved in each photocatalytic reaction are elaborated in detail. Finally, the review discusses the challenges and further directions faced by MOFs-derived nanomaterials in the field of photocatalysis, highlighting their potential role in advancing sustainable energy production and environmental remediation.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as a key focus in water treatment and monitoring due to their unique structural features, including extensive surface area, customizable porosity, reversible adsorption, and high catalytic efficiency. While numerous reviews have discussed MOFs in environmental remediation, this review specifically addresses recent advancements in modifying MOFs to enhance their effectiveness in water purification and monitoring. It underscores their roles as adsorbents, photocatalysts, and in luminescent and electrochemical sensing. Advancements such as pore modification, defect engineering, and functionalization, combined synergistically with advanced materials, have led to the development of recyclable MOF-based nano-adsorbents, Z-scheme photocatalytic systems, nanocomposites, and hybrid materials. These innovations have broadened the spectrum of removable contaminants and improved material recyclability. Additionally, this review delves into the creation of multifunctional MOF materials, the development of robust MOF variants, and the simplification of synthesis methods, marking significant progress in MOF sensor technology. Furthermore, the review addresses current challenges in this field and proposes potential future research directions and practical applications. The growing research interest in MOFs underscores the need for an updated synthesis of knowledge in this area, focusing on both current challenges and future opportunities in water remediation.

Abstract
CALF-20 was recently identified as a benchmark sorbent for CO2 capture at the industrial scale, however comprehensive atomistic insight into its mechanical/thermal properties under working conditions is still lacking. In this study, we developed a general-purpose machine-learned potential (MLP) for the CALF-20 MOF framework that predicts the thermodynamic and mechanical properties of the structure at finite temperatures within first-principles accuracy. Interestingly, CALF-20 was demonstrated to exhibit both negative area compression and negative thermal expansion. Most strikingly, upon application of the tensile strain along the [001] direction, CALF-20 was shown to display a distinct two-step elastic deformation behaviour, unlike typical MOFs that undergo plastic deformation after elasticity. Furthermore, this MOF was shown to exhibit a fracture strain of up to 27% along the [001] direction at room temperature comparable to that of MOF glasses. These abnormal thermal and mechanical properties make CALF-20 as attractive material for flexible and stretchable electronics and sensors.

Abstract
Znln2S4 has great prospects for photocatalytic water splitting to hydrogen by visible light. Herein, a novel Znln2S4-In-MOF (ZnInMS4) photocatalyst is elaborately synthesized by in situ method with In-MOF as the template and In3+ as the source. ZnInMS4 overcomes the fast interface charge recombination and a sluggish charge lifetime via the formed heterojunctions. Photoelectrochemical measurements reveal that the charge-transfer kinetics is enhanced since In-MOF is introduced to act as a reliable charge-transport channel. ZnInMS4 exhibits outstanding cocatalyst-free H2 evolution rate of 70 μmol h-1 under irradiation (λ > 420 nm), which is 3.2-fold higher than that of Znln2S4. In addition, the ZnInMS4 photocatalyst shows good stability in the 16 h continuous reaction. This work illustrates the feasibility of the MOF precursor instead of inorganic salts to directly synthesize photocatalysts with high performance.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) incorporating open metal sites (OMS) have been identified as promising sorbents for many societally relevant-adsorption applications including CO2 capture, natural gas purification and H2 storage. This has been ascribed to strong specific interactions between OMS and the guest molecules that enable the MOF to achieve an effective capture even under low gas pressure conditions. In particular, the presence of OMS in MOFs was demonstrated to substantially boost the H2 binding energy for achieving high adsorbed hydrogen densities and large usable hydrogen capacities. So far, there is a critical bottleneck to computationally attain a full understanding of the thermodynamics and dynamics of H2 in this sub-class of MOFs since the generic classical force fields (FFs) are known to fail to accurately describe the interactions between OMS and any guest molecules, in particular H2. This clearly hampers the computational-assisted identification of MOFs containing OMS for a target adsorption-related application since the standard high-throughput screening approach based on these generic FFs is not applicable. Therefore, there is a need to derive novel FFs to achieve accurate and effective evaluation of MOFs for H2 adsorption. On this path, as a proof-of-concept, the soc-MOF-1d containing OMS, previously envisaged as a potential platform for H2 adsorption, was selected as a benchmark material and a machine learning potential (MLP) was derived for the Al-soc-MOF-1d from a dataset initially generated by ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations. This MLP was further implemented in MD simulations to explore the H2 binding modes as well as the temperature dependence distribution of H2 in the MOF pores from 10 K to 80 K. MLP-Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations were then performed to predict the H2 sorption isotherm of Al-soc-MOF-1d at 77 K that was further confirmed using sorption data we collected on this sample. As a further step, MLP-based molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were conducted to anticipate the kinetics of H2 in this MOF. This work delivers the first MLP able to describe accurately the interactions between the challenging H2 guest molecule and MOFs containing OMS. This innovative strategy applied to one of the most complex molecules owing to its highly polarizable nature, paves the way towards a more systematic accurate and efficient in silico assessment of MOFs containing OMS for H2 adsorption and beyond to the low-pressure capture of diverse molecules.

Abstract
Photocatalytic hydrogen production and pollutant degradation using a heterogeneous photocatalyst remains an alternative route for mitigating the impending pollution and energy crisis. Hence, the development of cost-effective and environmentally friendly semiconducting materials with high solar light captivation nature is imperative. To overcome this challenge, α-MnO2 nanorod (NR)-modified MOF UiO-66-NH2 (UNH) was prepared via a facile solvothermal method, which is efficient toward H2 evolution and oxy-tetracycline hydrochloride (O-TCH) degradation. The field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) results of the α-MnO2@UNH (MnU) hybrid reveals its nanorod embedded in MOF matrix, and the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) result confirms the interaction of UNH moiety with α-MnO2 NRs. Additionally, the outstanding separation of photogenerated excitons and the charge-transfer efficacy are further validated by photoluminescence (PL), time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and transient photocurrent analysis, which are the key causes for photoactivity augmentation in the MnU composites. The MnU-2 composite shows a superior O-TCH degradation efficiency of 93.23% and an excellent H2 production rate of about 410.6 μmol h-1 upon light irradiation. This study provides significant evidence in favor of the suggested mediator-free S-scheme-adapted charge migration path, and it effectively explains the enhanced exciton separation leading to extraordinary catalytic efficiency of the proposed composite.

Abstract
Rational design of novel conjugated step-scheme (S-scheme) multijunction heterostructure with synergistic charge channelization, superior light harvesting efficiency and strong redox ability is a pioneering approach to mimic natural photosynthesis process. Herein, a mild cetyltrimethyl ammoniumbromide (CTAB) assisted one pot reflux synthesis route is designed for in situ integration of metal organic framework (MOF)-derived NiFe2O4 with tetragonal-BiVO4 (t-BiVO4) and γ-Bi2MoO6 to prepare NiFe2O4/t-BiVO4/Bi2MoO6 (NFO/BVO/BMO) ternary composites. Morphologically, fine dispersion of NiFe2O4 (NFO) quantum dots over γ-Bi2MoO6 (BMO) and t-BiVO4 (BVO) nanoplates yielded three types of microscopic heterojunctions among BMO-BVO, BVO-NFO and BMO-NFO phases. The ternary composites displayed important physicochemical attributes including high surface area, strong optical absorption, superior charge mobility and higher excited state lifetime which accounted for its improved photocatalytic activity towards ciprofloxacin degradation (>99% in 90 min) and H2 evolution (1.11 mmolh-1g-1, photon conversion efficiency 18.5%). Kinetics study revealed 12-55 fold higher ciprofloxacin photodegradation activity and 31-41 times higher H2 evolution rate for the ternary composite in comparison to the pure semiconductors. A conjugated S-scheme charge transfer mechanism has been deduced from comprehensive band position analysis and radical trapping study to explain the enhanced photocatalytic activity. This work for the first time demonstrated the rational construction of conjugated S-scheme heterostructures with potential application in water remediation and green H2 production.

Abstract
The presence of pollutants in drinking water has become a significant concern recently. Various substances, including activated carbon, membranes, biochar, etc., are used to remove these pollutants. In the present study, a new composite comprising cotton fabric and a mixture of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) was synthesized and used as an adsorbent for eliminating pollutants from wastewater. At first, the UiO-66 MOFs were prepared by a simple method of reacting Zirconium (IV) chloride (ZrCl4) and p-Phthalic acid (PTA) after successful preparation of UiO-66 then modified its surface with amino functional groups by reacting with APTES to obtain UiO-66-NH2. Moreover, the cellulose cotton fabric (CF) surface was modified with Polydopamine (PDA) and obtained CF@PDA. Further, with the help of EDC-HCl and NHS, the UiO-66-NH2 grafted on the surface of the CF@PDA and finally obtained CF@PDA/UiO-66-NH2. In addition, the adsorption study was performed toward RhB dye and Pb(II) metal ion pollutants. The maximum adsorption toward RhB dye was 68.5 mg/g, while toward Pb(II) metal ions was 65 mg/g. In addition, the kinetic study was also conducted and the result favoured the Pseudo-second order kinetic study. The adsorption isotherm was also studied and the Langmuir model was more fitted as compared with the Freundlich model. Moreover, the material has excellent regeneration and recycling ability after ten cycles. The significant adsorption ability, the novel combination of cotton and MOFs, and the recycling feature make our material CF@PDA/UiO-66-NH2 a promising potential absorbent material for wastewater treatment and even in other important areas of water research.

Abstract
The construction of heterojunctions has been used to optimize photocatalyst fuel denitrification. In this work, HKUST-1(Cu) was used as a sacrificial template to synthesize a composite material CuxO (CuO/Cu2O) that retains the original MOF framework for photocatalytic fuel denitrification by calcination at different temperatures. By adjusting the temperature, the content of CuO/Cu2O can be changed to control the performance and structure of CuxO-T effectively. The results show that CuxO-300 has the best photocatalytic performance, and its denitrification rate reaches 81% after 4 hours of visible light (≥420 nm) irradiation. Through the experimental analysis of pyridine's infrared and XPS spectra, we found that calcination produces CuxO-T mixed-valence metal oxide, which can create more exposed Lewis acid sites in the HKUST-1(Cu) framework. This leads to improved pyridine adsorption capabilities. The mixed-valence metal oxide forms a type II semiconductor heterojunction, which accelerates carrier separation and promotes photocatalytic activity for pyridine denitrification.

Abstract
Manganese dioxide (MnO2) has been recognized as one of the natural systems' most active mineral oxidants. However, when it comes to catalytic oxidation of antibiotic applications, pure MnO2 falls short in delivering satisfactory performance. Hence, a set of Fe3+-doped porous MnO2 (0.02Fe-MnO2, 0.1Fe-MnO2, and 0.14Fe-MnO2) nanoparticles were synthesized here via a convenient and energy-efficient one-step reaction method. A series of experiments revealed that Fe-doping strategy enhances the properties of MnO2 host by suppressing the crystalline structure, increasing the amount of surface oxygen defects, and modifying the Mn3+/Mn4+ ratio. Specifically, the tetracycline (TC) removal efficiency of 0.14Fe-MnO2 reaches 92% without the need for any additional co-oxidant, representing a 20% improvement over pristine MnO2 nanoparticles. Moreover, this process shows a fast dynamic (achieving 70% of TC removal in just 5 min) and demonstrates pH-resistance, maintaining high TC removal efficiency (≥90%) over a wide pH range of 3.0-9.0. Mechanical studies reveal that the degradation of TC can be attributed to the oxidation by reactive oxygen radicals and Mn3+, with 1O2 being the primary radical involved in the reaction, accounting for 55% of TC removal. Importantly, cytotoxicity testing indicates that the biotoxicity of TC toward organisms can be effectively mitigated using 0.14Fe-MnO2 nanomaterial. This study presents a readily applicable candidate for economically and conveniently eliminating of environmental TC pollution, thereby reducing the threat posed by TC pollution to the ecosystem.

Abstract
In this study, a novel composite material, Ni/Mn-MOF-74/CdS@Co3O4 was synthesized. This material consisted of a dual p-n heterojunction, which enabled efficient separation and transfer of charge carriers. Compared to a single p-n heterojunction, the presence of this dual heterojunction significantly enhanced the overall efficiency. The improved efficiency could be attributed to the unique properties of the constituent semiconductors. Co3O4 exhibited p-type semiconductor properties, while Ni/Mn-MOF-74 and CdS exhibited n-type semiconductor properties. By a combination of these materials to form a composite photocatalyst, a Z-type heterojunction was created at the interface of the p-n junction. This design established an internal electric field at both ends, effectively separating the photogenerated electrons and holes in each individual photocatalyst. As a result, the respective photocatalytic activities of the materials were maximized. To demonstrate the practical application of this composite material, it was utilized for the activation of peroxymonosulfate under visible light irradiation, with the aim of enhancing the photocatalytic degradation efficiency of tetracycline hydrochloride. The photocatalytic mechanism of Ni/Mn-MOF-74/CdS@Co3O4 in activating peroxymonosulfate and degrading tetracycline hydrochloride was investigated in detail. Furthermore, the toxicity of tetracycline hydrochloride and its intermediates was evaluated by using toxicity evaluation software.

Abstract
The ZnxCdyS has been proven to have unique photoelectric properties, but its synthesis method and photocatalytic water cracking performance need to be further improved. In this paper, Cd-MOF@ZIF-8 with a MOF-on-MOF (MOF = metal-organic framework) structure was prepared by a simple ion adsorption method. Then, a CdS/ZnxCdyS heterojunction with a 3D hierarchical structure was formed by solvothermal sulfidation. The prepared catalysts with different Zn/Cd ratios show an improved hydrogen production performance for photocatalytic water splitting, and the hydrogen evolution rate of Zn1Cd1S can reach up to 29.2 mmol·g-1·h-1. The excellent photocatalytic activity not only benefits from ZnxCdyS strong light conversion ability but also is closely related to the hierarchical structure and large specific surface area. A type II heterojunction also plays an important role in the spatial separation of photogenerated carriers. This paper provides a simple and feasible idea for the synthesis of a photocatalyst with a large specific surface area using a MOF-on-MOF synthesis strategy.

Abstract
Both environment and human beings were menaced by the widespread application of radioactive uranium, high-performance and effective elimination of uranium from wastewater is of important meaning for development of environmental sustainability in the future. In this study, the water-stable MOF material and the highly crystalline COF were compounded by a mild hydrothermal strategy, which achieved efficient removal of U(VI) through the synergistic effect. The composites showed the characteristics of both COFs and MOFs, which will possess higher stability, larger surface area and faster adsorption efficiency that cannot be carried out by a single component. Batch experiments and characterizations (SEM, TEM, XRD, FT-IR, BET, XPS, etc.) indicated that UiO-66-NH2@LZU1 had more stable and multi-layer pore structure and rich active functional groups. The Langmuir model and the pseudo-second-order kinetics fitting was more suitable for the U(VI) elimination process. The greatest uranium adsorbing capacity of UiO-66-NH2@LZU1 (180.4 mg g-1) was observed to exceed the UiO-66-NH2 (108.8 mg g-1) and COF-LZU1 (65.8 mg g-1), which reached the excellent hybrid effects. Furthermore, FT-IR and XPS analyses confirmed that the most nitrogen-containing group from COF-LZU1 and oxygen-containing group of UiO-66-NH2 could be combined with U(VI). In addition, electrostatic interaction was also a mechanism during the removal process. This work displayed that UiO-66-NH2@LZU1 was a prospective hybrid material for radioactive waste remediation. The compound method and application mentioned in this work had provided a theoretical basis for designing and developing multi-functional composite adsorbents, which contributed to the development of new materials for radioactive wastewater treatment technologies.

Abstract
For the first time, covalently anchoring size selected silver nanoclusters [Ag44(MNBA)30] on the Bi2S3@UiO-66-NH2 and MoS2@UiO-66-NH2 heterojunctions were constructed as novel photocatalysts for photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) dye. The anchoring of Ag44 on MoS2@UiO-66-NH2 and Bi2S3@UiO-66-NH2 heterojunctions extended the light absorption of UiO-66-NH2 to the visible region and improved the transfer and separation of photogenerated charge carriers through the heterojunctions with a unique band gap structure. The UV-Vis-NIR diffuse reflectance spectroscopic analysis confirmed that the optical absorption properties of the UiO-66-NH2 were shifted from the UV region at 379 nm to the visible region at ~ 705 nm after its doping with Bi2S3 nanorods and Ag44 nanoclusters (Bi2S3@UiO-66-NH-S-Ag44). The prepared Bi2S3@UiO-66-NH-S-Ag44 and MoS2@UiO-66-NH-S-Ag44 photocatalysts exhibited exceptional photocatalytic activity for visible light degradation of MB dye. The photocatalysts exhibited complete decolorization of the MB solution (50 ppm) within 90 and 120 min stirring under visible light irradiation, respectively. The supper photocatalytic performance and recycling efficiency of the prepared photocatalysts attributed to the covalent anchoring of the ultra-small silver clusters (Ag44) on the heterojunctions surface. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic analysis confirmed the charge of the silver clusters is zero. The disappearance of the N-H bending vibration peak of primary amines in the FTIR analysis of Bi2S3@UiO-66-NH-S-Ag44 confirmed the covalent anchoring of the protected silver nanoclusters on the UiO-66-NH2 surface via the condensation reaction. The Bi2S3@UiO-66-NH-S-Ag44 catalyst exhibited excellent recyclability efficiency more than five cycles without significant loss in activity, indicating their good potential for industrial applications. The texture properties, crystallinity, phase composition, particle size, and structural morphology of the prepared photocatalysts were investigated using adsorption-desorption N2 isotherms, X-ray diffraction (XRD), HR-TEM, and FE-SEM, respectively.

Abstract
Although multifunctional aerogels are expected to be used in applications such as portable electronic devices, it is still a great challenge to confer multifunctionality to aerogels while maintaining their inherent microstructure. Herein, a simple method is proposed to prepare multifunctional NiCo/C aerogels with excellent electromagnetic wave absorption properties, superhydrophobicity, and self-cleaning by water-induced NiCo-MOF self-assembly. Specifically, the impedance matching of the three-dimensional (3D) structure and the interfacial polarization provided by CoNi/C as well as the defect-induced dipole polarization are the primary contributors to the broadband absorption. As a result, the prepared NiCo/C aerogels have a broadband width of 6.22 GHz at 1.9 mm. Due to the presence of hydrophobic functional groups, CoNi/C aerogels improve the stability in humid environments and obtain hydrophobicity with large contact angles > 140°. This multifunctional aerogel has promising applications in electromagnetic wave absorption, resistance to water or humid environments.

Abstract
Hydrogen and oxygen evolution via photocatalytic water splitting remains the quintessential alternative to fossil fuels. Photocatalysts must be sufficiently robust, competent, and productive toward harnessing sunlight in order to utilize the solar spectrum for maximal photocatalytic output. Herein, we have fabricated the MgIn2S4/UiO-66-NH2 composite via a facile solvothermal route and have determined its efficacy toward light-induced H2 and O2 generation reactions through water splitting with the aid of different sacrificial agents. Initially, the formation of pristine and composite materials was ascertained by PXRD, FTIR, etc. Moreover, with the aid of sophisticated morphological characterization techniques (FESEM and HRTEM), the intricate interaction between MgIn2S4 and UiO-66-NH2 was revealed. Additionally, the XPS studies suggested the effective interaction between the individual components with binding energy shifting suggesting the transfer of electrons from Zr-MOF to MgIn2S4. The PL and electrochemical aspects supported the effective photogenerated charge segregation in the prepared composite leading to superior photocatalytic outputs. Amidst the prepared composites of (3, 5, and 7 wt %) MgIn2S4/UiO-66-NH2, the 5 wt % or UM-2 composite displays optimal H2 and O2 evolution performances of 493.8 and 258.6 μmol h-1 (4-fold greater than for pristine MgIn2S4 and UiO-66-NH2), respectively. The nanocomposite's enhanced performance is indeed a consequence of the coadjuvant interaction among pristine UiO-66-NH2 and MgIn2S4 components that transpires via the Z-scheme-mediated charge transfer by enabling facile exciton segregation and channelization. Moreover, the composite inherited the remarkable framework stability of parent Zr-MOF, and the MgIn2S4 insertion had a negligible impact on the framework integrity. This work will offer a valuable model for developing robust Zr-MOF-based nanocomposite photocatalysts and evaluating their superior performance toward photocatalytic water redox reactions.

Abstract
Photocatalysis, as an amenable and effective process, can be adopted for pollution remediation and to alleviate the ongoing energy crisis. In this case, recently, metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted increasing attention in the field of photocatalysis owning to their unique characteristics including large specific surface area, tuneable pore architecture, mouldable framework composition, tuneable band structure, and exceptional photon absorption tendency complimented with superior anti-recombination of excitons. Among the plethora of frameworks, inner transition metal based-MOFs (IT-MOFs) have started to garner significant traction as photocatalysts due to their distinct characteristics compared to conventional transition metal-based frameworks. Typically, IT-MOFs have the tendency to generate high nuclearity clusters and possess abundant Lewis acidic sites, together with mixed valency, which aids in easily converting redox couples, thereby making them a suitable candidate for various photocatalytic reactions. Therefore, in this contribution, we aim to summarise the excellent photocatalytic performance of IT-MOFs and their composites accompanied by a thorough discussion of their topological changes with a variation in the structure of the metal cluster, fabrication routes, morphological features, and physico-chemical properties together with a brief discussion of computational findings. Moreover, we attempt to explore the scientific understanding of the functionalities of IT-MOFs and their composites with detailed mechanistic pathways for in-depth clarity towards photocatalysis. Furthermore, we present a comprehensive analysis of IT-MOFs for various crucial photocatalytic applications such as H2/O2 evolution, organic pollutant degradation, organic transformation, and N2 and CO2 reduction. In addition, we discuss the measures employed to enhance their performance with some future directions to address the challenges with IT-MOF-based nanomaterials.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) materials possess a large specific surface area, high porosity, and atomically dispersed metal active sites, which confer excellent catalytic performance as peroxide (peroxodisulfate (PDS), peroxomonosulfate (PMS), and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)) activation catalysts. However, the limited electron transfer characteristics and chemical stability of traditional monometallic MOFs restrict their catalytic performance and large-scale application in advanced oxidation reactions. Furthermore, the single-metal active site and uniform charge density distribution of monometallic MOFs result in a fixed activation reaction path of peroxide in the Fenton-like reaction process. To address these limitations, bimetallic MOFs have been developed to improve catalytic activity, stability, and reaction controllability in peroxide activation reactions. Compared with monometallic MOFs, bimetallic MOFs enhance the active site of the material, promote internal electron transfer, and even alter the activation path through the synergistic effect of bimetals. In this review, we systematically summarize the preparation methods of bimetallic MOFs and the mechanism of activating different peroxide systems. Moreover, we discuss the reaction factors that affect the process of peroxide activation. This report aims to expand the understanding of bimetallic MOF synthesis and their catalytic mechanisms in advanced oxidation processes.

Abstract
As a straightforward way to fix solar energy, photo/photothermal catalysis with semiconductor provides a promising way to settle the energy shortage and environmental crisis in many fields, especially in clean energy conversion. Topologically porous heterostructures (TPHs), featured with well-defined pores and mainly composed by the derivatives of some precursors with specific morphology, are a major part of hierarchical materials in photo/photothermal catalysis and provide a versatile platform to construct efficient photocatalysts for their enhanced light absorption, accelerated charges transfer, improved stability, and promoted mass transportation. Therefore, a comprehensive and timely review on the advantages and recent applications of the TPHs is of great importance to forecast the potential applications and research trend in the future. This review initially demonstrates the advantages of TPHs in photo/photothermal catalysis. Then the universal classifications and design strategies of TPHs are emphasized. Besides, the applications and mechanisms of photo/photothermal catalysis in hydrogen evolution from water splitting and COx hydrogenation over TPHs are carefully reviewed and highlighted. Finally, the challenges and perspectives of TPHs in photo/photothermal catalysis are also critically discussed.

Abstract
Architecting a desirable and highly efficient nanocomposite for applications like adsorption, catalysis, etc. has always been a challenge. Metal Organic Framework (MOF)-based hierarchical composite has perceived popularity as an advanced adsorbent and catalyst. Hierarchically structured MOF material can be modulated to allow the surface interaction (external or internal) of MOF with the molecules of interest. They are well endowed with tunable functionality, high porosity, and increased surface area epitomizing mass transfer and mechanical stability of the fabricated nanostructure. Additionally, the anticipated optimization of nanocomposite can only be acquired by a thorough understanding of the synthesis techniques. This review starts with a brief introduction to MOF and the requirement for advanced nanocomposites after the setback faced by conventional MOF structures. Further, we discussed the background of MOF-based hierarchical composites followed by synthetic techniques including chemical and thermal treatment. It is important to rationally validate the successful nanocomposite fabrication by characterization techniques, an overview of challenges, and future perspectives associated with MOF-based hierarchically structured nanocomposite.

Abstract
Photocatalytic nitrogen fixation opens new opportunities for sustainable and healthier futures, and developing effective and inexpensive photocatalysts is the key. We use the ligand 3,3',5,5'-azomellitic acid (H4abtc) to connect with Fe clusters and Zr clusters to form stable metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) Fe-abtc and Zr-abtc, both of which are responsive to visible lights for nitrogen fixation. It is worth noting that the presence of NN in the ligand makes it respond to visible lights. The tetracarboxyl group is connected to the metal cluster to form a stable structure. The field-only surface integral method verified that the ligands were successfully applied into the synthesized MOF particles, which expanded the photoresponse range and enhanced the photonic interactions of the synthesized photocatalysts compared with pure MOF particles. The best photocatalytic nitrogen fixation performance of Fe-abtc and Zr-abtc is 49.8 μmol·g(cat.)-1·h-1 and 35.7 μmol·g(cat.)-1·h-1, respectively, the apparent quantum efficiency (AQY) of the sample Fe-abtc is 0.56 %, and the reliability of the source of N element is proved by the isotope 15N2. This work provides a new idea for the design of cheap and effective MOFs for photocatalytic nitrogen fixation.

Abstract
Photocatalysis plays a vital role in sustainable energy conversion and environmental remediation because of its economic, eco-friendly, and effective characteristics. Nitrogen-rich graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N5) has received worldwide interest owing to its facile accessibility, metal-free nature, and appealing electronic band structure. This review summarizes the latest progress for g-C3N5-based photocatalysts in energy and environmental applications. It begins with the synthesis of pristine g-C3N5 materials with various topologies, followed by several engineering strategies for g-C3N5, such as elemental doping, defect engineering, and heterojunction creation. In addition, the applications in energy conversion (H2 evolution, CO2 reduction, and N2 fixation) and environmental remediation (NO purification and aqueous pollutant degradation) are discussed. Finally, a summary and some inspiring perspectives on the challenges and possibilities of g-C3N5-based materials are presented. It is believed that this review will promote the development of emerging g-C3N5-based photocatalysts for more efficiency in energy conversion and environmental remediation.

Abstract
In the existing eco-crisis, designing and engineering an efficient as well as water stable photocatalyst for energy conversion and pollutant abatement remains crucial. In this regard, a mixed linker type zirconium metal organic framework (Zr-MOF) with terepthalic acid based ditopic linkers were utilized to design a single component photocatalyst through single step solvothermal method to utilize photons from visible light illumination towards hydrogen energy (H2) production and Tetracycline Hydrochloride (TCH) degradation. The one pot synthesized mixed linker based Zr-MOF displays visible light absorption through band gap tuning, superior exciton segregation and oxygen vacancy that cumulatively supports the enhancement in the photocatalytic output with respect to their pristine counterparts. Additionally, the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, optical and electrochemical studies strongly reinforces the above claims. The prepared mixed linker Zr-MOF showed superior photocatalytic H2 evolution performance of 247.88 µmol h-1 (apparent conversion efficiency; ACE = 1.9%) that is twice than its pristine Zr-MOFs. Moreover, in TCH degradation, the mixed linker MOF displays an enhanced efficacy of 91.8 % and adopts pseudo-first order type kinetics with a rate constant value of 0.032. Typically, the active species participating for the TCH photo-degradation follows the order of hydroxyl (OH.) < superoxide (O2.-) radicals. Consequently, the mixed linker Zr-MOF could be effectively used as a robust photocatalyst exhibiting boosted TCH degradation and H2 production.

Abstract
Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) is a highly mobile cancerogenic and teratogenic heavy metal ion. Among the varied technologies applied today to address chromium water pollution, photocatalysis offers a rapid reduction of Cr(VI) to the less toxic Cr(III). In contrast to classic photocatalysts, Metal-Organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous semiconductors that can couple the Cr(VI) to Cr(III) photoreduction to the chromium species immobilization. In this minireview, we wish to discuss and analyze the state-of-the-art of MOFs for Cr(VI) detoxification and contextualizing it to the most recent advances and strategies of MOFs for photocatalysis purposes. The minireview has been structured in three sections: (i) a detailed discussion of the specific experimental techniques employed to characterize MOF photocatalysts, (ii) a description and identification of the key characteristics of MOFs for Cr(VI) photoreduction, and (iii) an outlook and perspective section in order to identify future trends.

Abstract
Carbon spheres supporting nickel nanoparticles (NPs), generated by the integration of hydrothermal and microwave irradiation techniques, catalyzed the epoxidation of 1-octene, cyclooctene, styrene, allyl alcohol, and cyclohexene. The average particle sizes of the carbon spheres (CSs) and nickel oxide species immobilized on the CSs were 240 nm and 26 nm, respectively. The fabricated composites incorporating nickel NPs showed higher activity in the cyclohexene epoxidation process. The cyclohexene conversion was enhanced by raising the Ni loading to 10%. Within 14 h, the cyclohexene conversion had grown to 98%. This robust catalytic activity can be attributed to the efficient distribution of Ni species on the CSs, the facile lowering of the surface, and the development of uniformly nanosized species. The composite exhibited good recyclability across at least five cycles (which is not a simple task involving nickel-nanoparticle-based catalysts that are employed in water), and no nickel species leached into the solution, making the total system environmentally benign and cost-effective.

Abstract
Photocatalytic CO2 reduction by solar energy into carbonaceous feedstock chemicals is recognized as one of the effective ways to mitigate both the energy crisis and greenhouse effect, which fundamentally relies on the development of advanced photocatalysts. Here, the exploration of porous microrod photocatalysts based on novel NiCoO solid solutions derived from bimetallic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is reported. They exhibit overall enhanced photocatalytic performance with both high activity and remarkable selectivity for reducing CO2 into CO under visible-light irradiation, which are superior to most related photocatalysts reported. Accordingly, the Ni0.2 -Co0.8 -O microrod (MR-N0.2 C0.8 O) photocatalyst delivers high efficiency for photocatalytic CO2 reduction into CO at a rate up to ≈277 µmol g-1 h-1 , which is ≈35 times to that of its NiO counterpart. Furthermore, they display a high selectivity of ≈85.12%, which is not only better than that of synthesized Co3 O4 (61.25%) but also superior to that of reported Co3 O4 -based photocatalysts. It is confirmed that the Co and Ni species are responsible for CO2 CO conversion activity and selectivity, respectively. In addition, it is verified, by adjusting the Ni contents, that the band structure of NiCoO microrods can be tailored with favorable reduction band potentials, which thus enhance the selectivity toward CO2 photoreduction.

Abstract
In the field of photocatalysis, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have drawn a lot of attention. MOFs have a number of advantages over conventional semiconductors, including high specific surface area, large number of active sites, and an easily tunable porous structure. In this perspective review, different synthesis methods used to prepare MOFs and MOFs-based heterostructures have been discussed. Apart from this, the application of MOFs and MOFs-based heterostructures as photocatalysts for photocatalytic degradation of different types of pollutants have been compiled. This paper also highlights the different strategies that have been developed to modify and regulate pristine MOFs for improved photocatalytic performance. The MOFs modifications may result in better visible light absorption, effective photo-generated charge carriers (e-/h+), separation and transfer as well as improved recyclability. Despite that, there are still many obstacles and challenges that need to be addressed. In order to meet the requirements of using MOFs and MOFs-based heterostructures in photocatalysis for low-cost practical applications, future development and prospects have also been discussed.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of crystalline porous coordination materials with systematically designable network structures and tunable properties, demonstrating great potential for applications in diverse fields. However, the generally poor stability of dynamic coordination bonds in MOFs hinders their practical applications in harsh environments. Although MOFs have been used as precursors and templates for the production of various derivatives with enhanced stability via thermal treatment, the extreme thermolytic conditions often destroy the network structures, consequently resulting in obvious decreases in porosity and surface areas with undesired characteristics. This feature article discusses the generally used pathways for the transformation of MOFs and the advanced fabrication methods for the production of various MOF-derived materials. We particularly emphasize the recent progress in the designed strategies for customization and derivation tailoring of MOFs, which could produce MOF-derived functional materials with remaining framework skeletons and inherited characteristics (surface area, porosity and properties) of the parent MOFs, exhibiting great promise for practical applications.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are arguably a class of highly tuneable polymer-based materials with wide applicability. The arrangement of chemical components and the bonds they form through specific chemical bond associations are critical determining factors in their functionality. In particular, crystalline porous materials continue to inspire their development and advancement towards sustainable and renewable materials for clean energy conversion and storage. An important area of development is the application of MOFs in proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) and are attractive for efficient low-temperature energy conversion. The practical implementation of fuel cells, however, is faced by performance challenges. To address some of the technical issues, a more critical consideration of key problems is now driving a conceptualised approach to advance the application of PEMFCs. Central to this idea is the emerging field MOF-based systems, which are currently being adopted and proving to be a more efficient and durable means of creating electrodes and electrolytes for proton−exchange membrane fuel cells. This review proposes to discuss some of the key advancements in the modification of PEMs and electrodes, which primarily use functionally important MOFs. Further, we propose to correlate MOF-based PEMFC design and the deeper correlation with performance by comparing proton conductivities and catalytic activities for selected works.

Abstract
Integrated metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with graphene oxide (GO) have aroused huge interest in recent years due to their unique properties and excellent performance compared to MOFs or GO alone. While a lot of attention has been focused on the synthesis methodologies and the performance analysis of the composite materials in recent years, the fundamental formation/crystallization mechanism(s) is (are) still not fully understood. Ascribed to the distinctive structural and functional properties of GO, the nucleation and crystallization process of MOFs could be altered/promoted, forming MOF/GO composite materials with different nanostructures. Furthermore, the MOF’s parental structure could also influence how the GO and MOF bond together. Thus, this short review attempted to provide critical and indepth discussions of recent research results with a particular focus on the factors that influence the directional growth of parent MOFs in the presence of graphene oxide. Due to the unique structure and enhanced properties, the derived MOF/GO composites have a wide range of applications including gas separation, electrochemistry, and photocatalysis. We hope this review will be of interest to researchers working on MOF design, crystal structure control (e.g., orientation), and composite materials development.

Abstract
Janus nanoparticles (JNPs) with dual segments comprising chemically distinct compositions have garnered the attention of researchers in the past few years. The combination of different materials with diversified morphology, topology, and distinct physico-chemical characteristics into the single Janus nanocrystal has yielded multifarious capabilities for a myriad of emerging applications involving catalysis, gas separation, electro-catalysis, adsorption and energy storage. However, the traditional Janus entities significantly lack the need for populous active sites and high surface area. To overcome the textural hurdles and improve the functionalities of JNPs, porous MOFs were eventually introduced into Janus particles. MOFs are well endowed with varied pore apertures, structures, large surface areas and tailored characteristics, making them potentially invaluable for Janus fabrication. Depending upon the usage, MOFs can be explored to design Metal@MOF, polymetalic@MOF, MOF@MOF and MOF-derived JNPs. In this regard, we have represented a holistic summarization of the design, synthesis and emerging applications of a rising class of multi-functionalized MOF-based Janus nanomaterials. Moreover, this article will significantly aid researchers with a vision of creating dual-composition porous nanomaterials as the MOF-based Janus nanoparticles is at infancy.

Abstract
A mixed-valency bimetallic Ce/Zr MOF with Ce3+/Ce4+ ions incorporated and an oxygen vacancy-rich single-component photocatalyst have been designed through the one-step solvothermal route to harness photons from the visible-light spectrum for green energy (H2) generation and ciprofloxacin (CIP) degradation. The one-pot-engineered bimetallic Ce/Zr MOF shows visible-light-active characteristics accompanied by a narrower band gap, along with enhanced exciton separation and superior ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT), due to the presence of an interconvertible Ce3+/Ce4+ ions pair in comparison to its pristine MOF counterpart. The Ce ion insertion led to increase in electron density around the Zr4+ ion, along with generation of some oxygen vacancies (OV), which cumulatively led to the rise in the photo-reaction output. The synthesized UNH (Ce/Zr 1:1) MOF displayed a boosted photocatalytic H2 production rate of 468.30 μmol h-1 (ACE = 3.51%), which is around fourfolds higher than that of pristine MOFs. Moreover, for CIP photodegradation, the UNH (Ce/Zr 1:1) shows an enhanced efficiency of 90.8% and follows pseudo-first-order kinetics with a rate constant of 0.0363. Typically, the active species involved in the photo-redox reaction of the CIP photodegradation follows the order hydroxyl radical (OH•) < superoxide radical (O2•-), as confirmed by the TA and NBT tests. Consequently, the bimetallic Ce/Zr MOF can be readily employed as a robust photocatalyst with enhanced tendencies towards CIP degradation and H2 evolution.
