Abstract
The growing apprehension surrounding heavy metal pollution in both environmental and industrial contexts has spurred extensive research into adsorption materials aimed at efficient remediation. Among these materials, Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) have risen as versatile and promising contenders due to their adjustable properties, expansive surface areas, and sustainable characteristics, compared to traditional options like activated carbon and zeolites. This exhaustive review delves into the synthesis techniques, structural diversity, and adsorption capabilities of MOFs for the effective removal of heavy metals. The article explores the evolution of MOF design and fabrication methods, highlighting pivotal parameters influencing their adsorption performance, such as pore size, surface area, and the presence of functional groups. In this perspective review, a thorough analysis of various MOFs is presented, emphasizing the crucial role of ligands and metal nodes in adapting MOF properties for heavy metal removal. Moreover, the review delves into recent advancements in MOF-based composites and hybrid materials, shedding light on their heightened adsorption capacities, recyclability, and potential for regeneration. Challenges for optimization, regeneration efficiency and minimizing costs for large-scale applications are discussed.

Opportunities and new developments for the study of surfaces and interfaces in soft condensed matter at the SIRIUS beamline of Synchrotron SOLEIL. JOURNAL OF SYNCHROTRON RADIATION 2024; 31:162-176. [PMID: 37933848 PMCID: PMC10833424 DOI: 10.1107/s1600577523008810] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2023] [Accepted: 10/08/2023] [Indexed: 11/08/2023]
Abstract
The SIRIUS beamline of Synchrotron SOLEIL is dedicated to X-ray scattering and spectroscopy of surfaces and interfaces, covering the tender to mid-hard X-ray range (1.1-13 keV). The beamline has hosted a wide range of experiments in the field of soft interfaces and beyond, providing various grazing-incidence techniques such as diffraction and wide-angle scattering (GIXD/GIWAXS), small-angle scattering (GISAXS) and X-ray fluorescence in total reflection (TXRF). SIRIUS also offers specific sample environments tailored for in situ complementary experiments on solid and liquid surfaces. Recently, the beamline has added compound refractive lenses associated with a transfocator, allowing for the X-ray beam to be focused down to 10 µm × 10 µm while maintaining a reasonable flux on the sample. This new feature opens up new possibilities for faster GIXD measurements at the liquid-air interface and for measurements on samples with narrow geometries.

Abstract
Molecular spins are considered as the quantum hardware to build hybrid quantum processors in which coupling to superconducting devices would provide the means to implement the necessary coherent manipulations. As an alternative to large magnetically-dilute crystals or concentrated nano-scale deposits of paramagnetic molecules that have been studied so far, the use of pre-formed sub-micronic spherical particles of a doped Gd@Y hydroxycarbonate is evaluated here. Particles with an adjustable number of spin carriers are prepared through the control of both particle size and doping. Bulk magnetic properties and continuous wave and time-domain-EPR spectroscopy show that the Gd spins in these particles are potential qubits with robust quantum coherence. Monolayers of densely-packed particles are then formed interfacially and transferred successfully to the surface of Nb superconducting resonators. Alternatively, these particles are disposed at controlled localizations as isolated groups of a few particles through Dip-Pen Nanolithography using colloidal organic dispersions as ink. Altogether, this study offers new material and methodologies relevant to the development of viable hybrid quantum processors.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 13:2564. [PMID: 37764593 PMCID: PMC10537878 DOI: 10.3390/nano13182564] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2023] [Revised: 09/07/2023] [Accepted: 09/12/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023]
Abstract
Previous reports have shown that it is difficult to improve the methanol adsorption performance of nitrogen and oxygen groups due to their low polarity. Here, we first prepared porous carbon with a high specific surface area and large pore volume using benzimidazole as a carbon precursor and KOH as an activating agent. Then, we improved the surface polarity of the porous carbon by doping with Lithium (Li) to enhance the methanol adsorption performance. The results showed that the methanol adsorption capacity of Li-doped porous carbon reached 35.4 mmol g-1, which increased by 57% compared to undoped porous carbon. Molecular simulation results showed that Li doping not only improved the methanol adsorption performance at low pressure, but also at relatively high pressure. This is mainly because Li-modified porous carbon has higher surface polarity than nitrogen and oxygen-modified surfaces, which can generate stronger electrostatic interactions. Furthermore, through density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we determined the adsorption energy, adsorption distance, and charge transfer between Li atom and methanol. Our results demonstrate that Li doping enhances the adsorption energy, reduces the adsorption distance, and increases the charge transfer in porous carbon. The mechanism of methanol adsorption by Li groups was revealed through experimental and theoretical calculations, providing a theoretical basis for the design and preparation of methanol adsorbents.

Abstract
A carboxylate gadolinium-based metal-organic framework (Gd-MOF) is an exceptional candidate for magnetic resonance imaging agents, but its low drug adsorption capacity hinders this MOF from being used as a theragnostic agent. In this work, the Gd-MOF was synthesized by a simple solvothermal method. Then, different activation situations, including various solvents over different time periods, were applied to enhance the specific surface area of the synthesized MOF. Different characterization analyses such as X-ray diffraction and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller along with experimental quercetin adsorption tests were done to study the crystalline and physical properties of various activated MOFs. In the following, the MOF activated by ethanol for 3 days (3d-E) was chosen as the best activated MOF due to its crystallinity, highest specific surface area, and drug adsorption capacity. More explorations were done for the selected MOF, including the drug adsorption isotherm, thermodynamics, and pH effect of adsorption. The results show that the activation process substantially affects the crystallinity, morphology, specific surface area, and drug adsorption capacity of Gd-MOFs. An optimized activation condition is proposed in this work, which shows an impressive enhancement of the specific surface area of Gd-MOFs just by simple solvent exchange method employment.

Abstract
In this paper, graphene oxide was incorporated in penicillinase-lipid Langmuir monolayers and transferred to solid supports as Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films so that the enzyme catalytic properties could be evaluated. Adsorption of penicillinase and graphene oxide on dimyristoylphosphatidic acid (DMPA) monolayers at the air-water interface was investigated by tensiometry, vibrational spectroscopy, and Brewster angle microscopy. The LB films were characterized by quartz crystal microbalance, infrared spectroscopy, luminescence spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy. Enzyme activity was studied with UV-vis spectroscopy, and the feasibility of the supramolecular device nanostructured as ultrathin films was essayed as an optical sensor device. The presence of graphene oxide in the enzyme-lipid LB film not only tuned the catalytic activity of penicillinase but also helped conserve its enzyme activity after weeks. These results may be related not only to the molecular architecture provided by the film but also to the synergism between the compounds on the active layer, leading to a molecular architecture that allowed a fast analyte diffusion owing to a suitable molecular accommodation which also preserved the penicillinase activity. This work then demonstrates the feasibility of employing LB films composed of lipids, graphene oxide, and enzymes as optical devices for biosensing applications as a proof-of-concept experiment.

Abstract
In this article, we synthesized a Yb3+-doped two-dimensional (2-D) upconverting Tb metal-organic framework (Tb-MOF) (hereinafter referred to as Tb-UCMOF) by a one-step solvothermal method. The synthesized Tb-UCMOF is composed of stacks of 2-D nanosheets with an average width distributed between 250 and 300 nm, and these nanosheets can be exfoliated by a simple liquid ultrasound method. The structural characteristics of this flaky particle accumulation are confirmed by the type IV adsorption-desorption isotherm with a H3-type adsorption hysteresis loop, and the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface of Tb-UCMOF is 143.9257 m2·g-1. Tb-UCMOF has characteristic emissions of Tb3+ which are located at 490, 545, 585, and 621 nm under 980 nm excitation. The upconverting luminescence mechanism is attributed to that Yb3+ absorbs multiple photons and transfers the energy to Tb3+, causing its 4f electrons to jump to the excited state, and then the upconverting emissions are obtained when electrons return to the ground state. Since the Tb-UCMOF nanosheets have high dispersibility and an obvious upconverting luminescent signal, we explored their luminescence sensing properties. The luminescence intensity is found to gradually decrease with the addition of Cu2+, the linear range of Cu2+ sensing is 0-1.4 μM, and the detection limit is 0.16 μM. This rapid, highly selective, and sensitive Cu2+ sensing indicates that 2-D upconverting MOF nanosheets have great application prospects in luminescence sensing and also promote the research of 2-D upconverting MOFs with specific recognition for the application of biological and environmental luminescent sensors.

Abstract
Operando characterization plays an important role in revealing the structure-property relationships of organic mixed ionic/electronic conductors (OMIECs), enabling the direct observation of dynamic changes during device operation and thus guiding the development of new materials. This review focuses on the application of different operando characterization techniques in the study of OMIECs, highlighting the time-dependent and bias-dependent structure, composition, and morphology information extracted from these techniques. We first illustrate the needs, requirements, and challenges of operando characterization then provide an overview of relevant experimental techniques, including spectroscopy, scattering, microbalance, microprobe, and electron microscopy. We also compare different in silico methods and discuss the interplay of these computational methods with experimental techniques. Finally, we provide an outlook on the future development of operando for OMIEC-based devices and look toward multimodal operando techniques for more comprehensive and accurate description of OMIECs.

Abstract
Marine biofouling is one of the technical bottlenecks restricting the development of the global marine economy. Among the commercial self-polishing antifouling coatings, cuprous oxide is an irreplaceable component because of its efficiency and broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. However, one of the biggest obstacles to achieving long-term antifouling is the "initial burst and final decay" of cuprous oxide in the coating. Here, we lock the copper ions by establishing an antifouling unit composed of Cu2O (core) and Cu-based metal-organic framework (Cu-MOF, shell). Cu-MOF is densely grown in situ on the periphery of Cu2O by acid proton etching. The shell structure of Cu-MOF can effectively improve the stability of the internal Cu2O and thus achieve the stable and slow release of copper ions. Furthermore, Cu2O@Cu-MOF nanocapsules can also achieve active defense by rapid and complete dissolution of Cu2O@Cu-MOF at local acidic microenvironment (pH ≤ 5) where the adhesion of fouling organisms occurs. Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy is used to explain the sterilization mechanism. Relying on the water- and acid-sensitive properties of Cu-MOF shell, the stable, controlled and efficient release of copper ions has been achieved for the Cu2O@Cu-MOF nanocapsules in the self-polishing antifouling coatings. Thus, these controlled-release nanocapsules make long-term antifouling promising.
