Abstract
With the increasing use of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), they will inevitably enter the environment intentionally or unintentionally. However, the effects of MOFs on plant growth are poorly understood. Here, we investigated the effects of exposure of the rhizosphere to MOFs on plant growth. MIL-101(Cr) was selected as a research model due to its commercial availability and wide use. Soybean plants at the two-leaf stage were subjected to various durations (1-7 days) and concentrations (0-1000 mg/L) of exposure in hydroculture with a control group treated with ultrapure water. We found that MIL-101(Cr) had a positive effect on soybean growth at a lower dose (i.e., 200 mg/L); however, at higher doses (i.e., 500 and 1000 mg/L), it exhibited significant toxicity to plant growth, which is evidenced by leaf damage. To investigate the mechanism of this effect, we used Cr as an indicator to quantify, track, and image MIL-101(Cr) in the plant with laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS). Results indicated that MIL-101(Cr) primarily accumulated in the cortex of roots (up to 40 times higher than that in stems), with limited translocation to stems and negligible presence in leaves and cotyledons. In addition, metabolomic analysis of soybeans indicated that low-dose MIL-101(Cr) could increase the sucrose content of soybean roots to promote plant growth, while a high dose could induce lipid oxidation in roots. This study provides valuable insights into the ecological toxicology of MOFs and underscores the importance of assessing their environmental impact for sustainable agricultural practices.

Polyphenol oxidase inactivation from apple juice by Al-based metal-organic frameworks: New anti-browning strategy in fruits and vegetables. Food Chem 2024; 439:138178.

Abstract
Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) is critical due to enzymatic browning in fruits and vegetables, developing economic impact in fruits industry. Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOF) have shown interesting characteristics such as water stability, low toxicity, and good adsorption yield, making them good candidates for PPO inactivation. Al-based-MOFs, MIL-53(Al), DUT-5, and MIL-110 were tested as PPO inactivators in apple juice by enzyme-MOF interactions at r.t. through two possible mechanisms, i) substrate scavengers (substrates:catechol and 4-methylcatechol) or ii) enzyme activity modifiers. The scavenging behavior of Al-based-MOFs was moderate, in the same magnitude, being catechol adsorption better than 4-methylcatechol. PPO activity was reduced by at least 70% by MIL-53(Al)/DUT-5 in 10/30 min respectively, and MIL-110 inactivated PPO in 50 min with some structural modifications. Enzyme-MOF interactions are major responsible for PPO inactivation. This could be a new applicability of MOFs, as an alternate PPO inactivation process, easily included in juice processing, retaining sensorial/nutritional properties, developed at r.t thus energy-cost-effective.

Abstract
We present a novel study introducing a durable and robust covalent-organic framework (COF) nanocoating, developed in situ on living cells. This COF nanocoating demonstrates remarkable resistance against a diverse range of lethal stressors, including high temperature, extreme pH, ultraviolet radiation, toxic metal ions, organic pollutants, and strong oxidative stress. Notably, the nanocoating exhibits exceptional cell survival enhancement under high temperature and strongly acidic conditions, an aspect yet unexplored in the case of metal-organic framework nanocoatings and other nanomaterials. Moreover, functionalization of the nanocoating with an exogenous enzyme catalase enables yeast fermentation and ethanol production even under strong oxidative stress. Our findings establish the durable and robust COF nanocoating as a reliable platform for safeguarding vulnerable microorganisms to allow their utilisation in a wide range of adverse environments.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a new class of crystalline porous hybrid materials with high porosity, large specific surface area and adjustable channel structure and biocompatibility, which are being investigated with increasing interest for energy storage and conversion, gas adsorption/separation, catalysis, sensing and biomedicine. However, the practical applications of MOFs make them release into the environment inevitable, posing a threat to humans and organisms. In this article, we cover advances in the currently available MOFs synthesis methods and the emerging applications of MOFs, especially in the biomedical field (therapeutic agents and bioimaging). Additionally, after evaluating the current status of main exposure routes and affecting factors in the field of MOFs-toxicity, the molecular mechanism is also clarified and identified. Knowledge gaps are identified from such a summarization and frontier development are explored for MOFs. Afterwards, we also present the limitations, challenges, and future perspectives in the study of the entire life cycle of MOFs. This review emphasizes the need for a more targeted discussion of the latest, widely used and effective versatile material class in order to exploit the full potential of high-performance and non-toxicity MOFs in the future.

Abstract
Micropollutants contamination and global warming are critical environmental issues that require urgent attention due to natural and anthropogenic activities posing serious threats to human health and ecosystems. However, traditional technologies (such as adsorption, precipitation, biodegradation, and membrane separation et al.) are facing challenges of low utilization efficiency of oxidants, poor selectivity, and complex in-situ monitoring operations. To address these technical bottlenecks, nanobiohybrids, synthesized by interfacing the nanomaterials and biosystems, have recently emerged as eco-friendly technologies. In this review, we summarize the synthesis approaches of nanobiohybrids and their utilization as emerging environmental technologies for addressing environmental problems. Studies demonstrate that enzymes, cells, and living plants can be integrated with a wide range of nanomaterials including reticular frameworks, semiconductor nanoparticles and single-walled carbon nanotubes. Moreover, nanobiohybrids demonstrate excellent performance for micropollutant removal, carbon dioxide conversion, and sensing of toxic metal ions and organic micropollutants. Therefore, nanobiohybrids are expected to be environmental friendly, efficient, and cost-effective techniques for addressing environmental micropollutants issues and mitigating global warming, benefiting both humans and ecosystems alike.

Abstract
An intelligent transportation system is one of the fundamental goals of the smart city concept. The Internet of Things (IoT) concept is a basic instrument to digitalize and automatize the process in the intelligent transportation system. Digitalization via the IoT concept enables the automatic collection of data usable for management in the transportation system. The IoT concept includes a system of sensors, actuators, control units and computational distribution among the edge, fog and cloud layers. The study proposes a taxonomy of sensors used for monitoring tasks based on motion detection and object tracking in intelligent transportation system tasks. The sensor's taxonomy helps to categorize the sensors based on working principles, installation or maintenance methods and other categories. The sensor's categorization enables us to compare the effectiveness of each sensor's system. Monitoring tasks are analyzed, categorized, and solved in intelligent transportation systems based on a literature review and focusing on motion detection and object tracking methods. A literature survey of sensor systems used for monitoring tasks in the intelligent transportation system was performed according to sensor and monitoring task categorization. In this review, we analyzed the achieved results to measure, sense, or classify events in intelligent transportation system monitoring tasks. The review conclusions were used to propose an architecture of the universal sensor system for common monitoring tasks based on motion detection and object tracking methods in intelligent transportation tasks. The proposed architecture was built and tested for the first experimental results in the case study scenario. Finally, we propose methods that could significantly improve the results in the following research.

Abstract
For environmental safety, it is important to establish a simple, rapid, and sensitive method for emerging pollutants. Here, a dispersive solid-phase extraction (d-SPE) method based on an iron-based metal-organic framework (Fe-MIL-88-NH2) combined with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was developed for tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) in water samples. Fe-MIL-88-NH2 was synthesized using a solvothermal method and completely characterized. Fe-MIL-88-NH2 had good water stability and gave a maximum adsorption capacity of 40.97 mg g-1 for TBBPA. The adsorption of TBBPA on Fe-MIL-88-NH2 followed Langmuir adsorption models and a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The bromine ion and the hydroxyl group of TBBPA could form strong hydrogen bond interactions with the amino protons around the cavity of Fe-MIL-88-NH2, which was in accord with the molecular simulation calculations. Furthermore, several important d-SPE parameters were optimized, such as the amount of materials, extraction time, pH, ionic strength, elution solvent type, and volume. The established method showed good linearity in the concentration range of 0.005-100 μg g-1 (r2 ≥ 0.9996). This method's limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) were 0.001 μg g-1 and 0.005 μg g-1, respectively. The recoveries in spiked water samples ranged from 87.5% to 104.9%. The proposed method was applied successfully to detect TBBPA in environmental water samples.

Abstract
The successful application of nanobiotechnology in biomedicine has greatly changed the traditional way of diagnosis and treating of disease, and is promising for revolutionizing the traditional plant nanobiotechnology. Over the past few years, nanobiotechnology has increasingly expanded into plant research area. Nanomaterials can be designed as vectors for targeted delivery and controlled release of fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, nucleotides, proteins, etc. Interestingly, nanomaterials with unique physical and chemical properties can directly affect plant growth and development; improve plant resistance to disease and stress; design as sensors in plant biology; and even be used for plant genetic engineering. Similarly, there have been concerns about the potential biological toxicity of nanomaterials. Selecting appropriate characterization methods will help understand how nanomaterials interact with plants and promote advances in plant nanobiotechnology. However, there are relatively few reviews of tools for characterizing nanomaterials in plant nanobiotechnology. In this review, we present relevant imaging tools that have been used in plant nanobiotechnology to monitor nanomaterial migration, interaction with and internalization into plants at three-dimensional lengths. Including: 1) Migration of nanomaterial into plant organs 2) Penetration of nanomaterial into plant tissues (iii)Internalization of nanomaterials by plant cells and interactions with plant subcellular structures. We compare the advantages and disadvantages of current characterization tools and propose future optimal characterization methods for plant nanobiotechnology.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) exhibit unparalleled atomic utilization and catalytic efficiency, yet it is challenging to modulate SACs with highly dispersed single-atoms, mesopores, and well-regulated coordination environment simultaneously and ultimately maximize their catalytic efficiency. Here, a generalized strategy to construct highly active ferric-centered SACs (Fe-SACs) is developed successfully via a biomineralization strategy that enables the homogeneous encapsulation of metalloproteins within metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) followed by pyrolysis. The results demonstrate that the constructed metalloprotein-MOF-templated Fe-SACs achieve up to 23-fold and 47-fold higher activity compared to those using metal ions as the single-atom source and those with large mesopores induced by Zn evaporation, respectively, as well as up to a 25-fold and 1900-fold higher catalytic efficiency compared to natural enzymes and natural-enzyme-immobilized MOFs. Furthermore, this strategy can be generalized to a variety of metal-containing metalloproteins and enzymes. The enhanced catalytic activity of Fe-SACs benefits from the highly dispersed atoms, mesopores, as well as the regulated coordination environment of single-atom active sites induced by metalloproteins. Furthermore, the developed Fe-SACs act as an excellent and effective therapeutic platform for suppressing tumor cell growth. This work advances the development of highly efficient SACs using metalloproteins-MOFs as a template with diverse biotechnological applications.

Abstract
Plant biotic or abiotic stresses, such as pathogens, mechanical damage, or high temperature, can increase intracellular H2O2 concentration, damaging proteins, lipids, and DNA. Most current H2O2 detection methods require the separation or grinding of plant samples, inducing plant stresses, and the process is complicated and time-consuming. This paper constructed a metal-organic framework (MOF)-based biosensor for real-time, remote, and in situ detection of exogenous/endogenous H2O2 in plant organs through color-to-thermal signal conversion. By simply spraying horseradish peroxidase, 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), and the precursor of zeolite imidazolate frameworks-8 (ZIF-8), ZIF-8 biosensors were formed in situ on a plant root, petiole, or leaf. This biosensor could report sub-micromolar H2O2 in plants since the oxidation products, ABTS• +, emitted heat when they absorbed energy from near-infrared (NIR) light. Due to the plant's low absorption in the NIR region, the ZIF-8 biosensor allowed for remote thermal sensing of H2O2 transport or biotic/abiotic stresses in plants with a high signal-to-noise ratio combining NIR laser and thermometer. Our biosensor can be used for the future development of plant sensors for monitoring plant signaling pathways and metabolism that are nondestructive, minimally invasive, and capable of real-time, in situ analysis.

Abstract
Enhancing the enzymatic activity inside metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is a critical challenge in chemical technology and bio-technology, which, if addressed, will broaden their scope in energy, food, environmental, and pharmaceutical industries. Here, we report a simple yet versatile and effective strategy to optimize biocatalytic activity by using MOFs to rapidly "lock" the ultrasound (US)-activated but more fragile conformation of metalloenzymes. The results demonstrate that up to 5.3-fold and 9.3-fold biocatalytic activity enhancement of the free and MOF-immobilized enzymes could be achieved compared to those without US pretreatment, respectively. Using horseradish peroxidase as a model, molecular dynamics simulation demonstrates that the improved activity of the enzyme is driven by an opened gate conformation of the heme active site, which allows more efficient substrate binding to the enzyme. The intact heme active site is confirmed by solid-state UV-vis and electron paramagnetic resonance, while the US-induced enzyme conformation change is confirmed by circular dichroism spectroscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. In addition, the improved activity of the biocomposites does not compromise their stability upon heating or exposure to organic solvent and a digestion cocktail. This rapid locking and immobilization strategy of the US-induced active enzyme conformation in MOFs gives rise to new possibilities for the exploitation of highly efficient biocatalysts for diverse applications.

Abstract
The wide utilization of nano-sized metal-organic frameworks (NMOFs) leads to inevitable health risks to humans. Previous studies on health risks of NMOFs mainly focus on the cytotoxic tests of typical NMOFs,but lack sufficient studies on the effects of physiochemical characteristics of NMOFs on the cytotoxicity and the related mechanisms. Here, four kinds of Zr-based porphyrinic NMOFs (PCNs), including spherical 30, 90, and 180 nm PCN-224 and rod-like 90 nm PCN-222, were taken as a proof of the concept to investigate the effects of the size and shape of NMOFs on the cytotoxicity and related mechanisms to macrophages. The 30 nm spherical PCN-224 induced significant rupture of cell membrane and dissolved in lysosome, leading to the most significant cell necrosis among the studied other nano-sized PCNs. However, other studied PCNs showed insignificant membrane rupture and their dissolution in lysosome. Furthermore, the 90 nm-sized PCN-224 led to much more significant cell necrosis by inducing lysosome damage and inhibiting of autophagy flux than the rod-like 90 nm PCN-222. These findings reveal the size- and shape-dependent cytotoxicity of PCNs and the related mechanisms and are helpful to the assessment of the potential health risks of NMOFs and the safe application of NMOFs.

Abstract
Luminescent metal organic frameworks (LMOFs) are considered to be a type of promising optical sensing material due to their designable and tunable functions, and stable pore structures. Therefore, the preparation of LMOFs has become a research hotspot in recent years. As we know, triazine carboxylic acid ligands are conducive for constructing LMOF materials due to their large π electron conjugated system. In this work, two crystalline materials [Cd3(TCPT)2]·0.5DMF·4H2O (1) and (H3O)[Zn2(TCPT)(μ2-OH)2]·0.5DMF·3H2O (2) were obtained by the reaction of the triazine carboxylic acid ligand 2,4,6-tris(4-carboxyphenoxy)-1,3,5-triazine (H3TCPT), as an extended carboxylate arm, and d10 transition metal salts. Their structures were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction and characterized by infrared spectroscopy (IR), ultraviolet visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), fluorescence spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TG). The experimental results showed that complexes 1 and 2 show excellent fluorescent emission behavior. Thus, we explored their fluorescence sensing properties. To our delight, the results showed that they both had the ability to sense small organic drug molecules and aromatic amine molecules containing o-phenylenediamine (OPD), m-phenylenediamine (MPD) and p-phenylenediamine (PPD). In general, the practical applications of a MOF material are usually limited because of the relatively harsh synthesis methods. In this aspect, we studied the synthesis method in detail to obtain the optimal reaction conditions for the large-scale synthesis of 1 and 2. The preparation of the two LMOF materials only required about 3 hours of heating time and they could be prepared on a large scale, which is significant for the practical applications of LMOFs.

Abstract
Scarcity of natural resources, shifting demographics, climate change, and increasing waste are four major challenges in the quest to feed the exploding world population. These challenges serve as the impetus to harness novel technologies to improve agriculture, productivity, and sustainability. Urban farming has several advantages over conventional farming: higher productivity, improved sustainability, and the ability to provide fresh food all year round. Novel materials are key to accelerating the evolution of urban farming - with their ability to facilitate controlled release of nutrients and pesticides, improved seed health, substrates with better water retention capability, more efficient recycling of agricultural waste, and precise plant health monitoring. Materials science enables environmental sustainability and higher harvest yields in urban farms. Here, Singapore is used as an example of a land-scarce city where urban farming may be the solution for future food production. Potential research directions and challenges in urban farming are highlighted, and how material optimization and innovation drive the development of urban farming to meet national and global food demands is briefly discussed. This review serves as a guide for researchers and a reference for stakeholders of urban farms, policy makers, and other interested parties.

Abstract
Bioelectronic devices have received the massive attention because of their huge potential to develop the core electronic components for biocomputing system. Up to now, numerous bioelectronic devices have been reported such as biomemory and biologic gate by employment of biomolecules including metalloproteins and nucleic acids. However, the intrinsic limitations of biomolecules such as instability and low signal production hinder the development of novel bioelectronic devices capable of performing various novel computing functions. As a way to overcome these limitations, nanomaterials have the great potential and wide applicability to grant and extend the electronic functions, and improve the inherent properties from biomolecules. Accordingly, lots of nanomaterials including the conductive metal, graphene, and transition metal dichalcogenide nanomaterials are being used to develop the remarkable functional bioelectronic devices like the multi-bit biomemory and resistive random-access biomemory. This review discusses the nanomaterial-based superb bioelectronic devices including the biomemory, biologic gates, and bioprocessors. In conclusion, this review will provide the interdisciplinary information about utilization of various novel nanomaterials applicable for biocomputing system.

Abstract
Herein, a paper-based in vitro diagnostic device (IVD) is developed via inkjet printing of de novo engineered, boronic acid-rich metal-organic frameworks (BMOFs). The newly developed BMOFs simultaneously possess crystalline and amorphous structure, mesopore size, large surface area, and retain a high level of boronic acid integration. After printing the BMOFs on the filter paper, the BMOF-printed paper IVD shows a rapid response time (40 min) towards cancer cell capture and its maximum cell capture capacity reaches approximately (4.5 ±1.1) ×104 cells cm-2 . Furthermore, the BMOF-printed IVD shows nine times higher capture ability of cancer cells than non-cancerous cells, suggesting its excellent selectivity. Importantly, the pH-tunable affinity of BMOF to glucose enables its dual-responsive behavior without affecting cell viability. In addition, a desired cell pattern could be achieved by directly drawing BMOFs onto a silicon substrate, highlighting its capacity as a miniaturized device for tumor cell capture and analysis. This simple and label-free nanoplatform enables new opportunities for designing MOF-based smart devices for diverse biomedical applications such as a cost-effective IVD technologies for cancer diagnosis, genotyping, and prognosis.

Abstract
Soil contamination with toxic heavy metals (HMs) poses a serious threat to global food safety, soil ecosystem and human health. The rapid industrialization, urbanization and extensive application of agrochemicals on arable land have led to paddy soil pollution worldwide. Rice plants easily accumulate toxic HMs from contaminated agricultural soils, which ultimately accumulated in grains and enters the food chain. Although, physical and chemical remediation techniques have been used for the treatment of HMs-contaminated soils, however, they also have many drawbacks, such as toxicity, capital investment and environmental-associated hazards. Recently, engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) have gained substantial attention owing to their promising environmental remediation applications. Numerous studies have revealed the use of ENMs for reclamation of toxic HMs from contaminated environment. This review mainly focuses on HMs toxicity in paddy soils along with potential health risks to humans. It also provides a critical outlook on the recent advances and future perspectives of nanoremediation strategies. Additionally, we will also propose the interacting mechanism of HMs-ENMs to counteract metal-associated phytotoxicities in rice plants to achieve global food security and environmental safety.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have recently emerged as excellent hosting matrices for enzyme immobilization, offering superior physical and chemical protection for biocatalytic reactions. However, for multienzyme and cofactor-dependent biocatalysis, the subtle orchestration of enzymes and cofactors is largely disrupted upon immobilizing in the rigid crystalline MOF network, which leads to a much reduced biocatalytic efficiency. Herein, we constructed hierarchically porous MOFs by controlled structural etching to enhance multienzyme and cofactor-dependent enzyme biocatalysis. The expanded size of the pores can provide sufficient space for accommodated enzymes to reorientate and spread within MOFs in their lower surface energy state as well as to decrease the inherent barriers to accelerate the diffusion rate of reactants and intermediates. Moreover, the developed hierarchically porous MOFs demonstrated outstanding tolerance to inhospitable surroundings and recyclability.

Abstract
For survival and quality of life, human society has sought more productive, precise, and sustainable agriculture. Agrochemistry, which solves farming issues in a chemical manner, is the core engine that drives the evolution of modern agriculture. To date, agrochemistry has utilized chemical technologies in the form of pesticides, fertilizers, veterinary drugs and various functional materials to meet fundamental demands from human society, while increasing the socio-ecological consequences due to inefficient use. Thus, more useful, precise, and designable scaffolding materials are required to support sustainable agrochemistry. Reticular chemistry, which weaves molecular units into frameworks, has been applied in many fields based on two cutting-edge porous framework materials, namely metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent-organic frameworks (COFs). With flexibility in composition, structure, and pore chemistry, MOFs and COFs have shown increasing functionalities associated with agrochemistry in the last decade, potentially introducing reticular chemistry as a highly accessible chemical toolbox into agrochemical technologies. In this critical review, we will demonstrate how reticular chemistry shapes the future of agrochemistry in the fields of farm sensing, agro-ecological preservation and reutilization, agrochemical formulations, smart indoor farming, agrobiotechnology, and beyond.
