Carbohydr Polym 2024; 344:122494. [PMID: 39218538 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2024.122494] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2024] [Revised: 06/15/2024] [Accepted: 07/12/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
Nanocellulose hydrogels are promising to replace synthetic ones for direct ink writing (DIW)-based 3D printing biobased applications. However, less gelation strength and low solid content of the hydrogels limit the printability and subsequent fidelity of the dried object. Herein, a biobased, ternary DIW hydrogel ink is developed by one-pot gelation of cellulose nanofibrils (CNF), sodium alginate (SA), and Ca-montmorillonite (Ca-MMT) via in situ ionic crosslinking. The addition of Ca-MMT into CNF/SA formulation simultaneously increases the solid content and gelation strength of the hydrogel. The resultant hydrogels exhibit shape recovery after compression. The optimal CNF concentration in the hydrogel is 1.2 wt%, enabling the highest compressive mechanical performance of the scaffolds. A series of complex, customized shapes with different curvatures and three-dimensional structures (e.g., high-curvature letters, pyramids, human ears, etc.) can be printed with high fidelity before and after drying. This study opens an avenue on preparing nanocellulose-based DIW hydrogel inks using one-pot gelation of the components, which offers a solution to combine DIW-based 3D printing with biobased hydrogel inks, towards diverse biobased applications.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been extensively considered as one of the most promising types of porous and crystalline organic-inorganic materials, thanks to their large specific surface area, high porosity, tailorable structures and compositions, diverse functionalities, and well-controlled pore/size distribution. However, most developed MOFs are in powder forms, which still have some technical challenges, including abrasion, dustiness, low packing densities, clogging, mass/heat transfer limitation, environmental pollution, and mechanical instability during the packing process, that restrict their applicability in industrial applications. Therefore, in recent years, attention has focused on techniques to convert MOF powders into macroscopic materials like beads, membranes, monoliths, gel/sponges, and nanofibers to overcome these challenges.Three-dimensional (3D) printing technology has achieved much interest because it can produce many high-resolution macroscopic frameworks with complex shapes and geometries from digital models. Therefore, this review summarizes the combination of different 3D printing strategies with MOFs and MOF-based materials for fabricating 3D-printed MOF monoliths and their environmental applications, emphasizing water treatment and gas adsorption/separation applications. Herein, the various strategies for the fabrication of 3D-printed MOF monoliths, such as direct ink writing, seed-assisted in-situ growth, coordination replication from solid precursors, matrix incorporation, selective laser sintering, and digital light processing, are described with the relevant examples. Finally, future directions and challenges of 3D-printed MOF monoliths are also presented to better plan future trajectories in the shaping of MOF materials with improved control over the structure, composition, and textural properties of 3D-printed MOF monoliths.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising materials for gas sensing but are often limited to single-use detection. A hybridization strategy is demonstrated synergistically deploying conductive MOFs (cMOFs) and conductive polymers (cPs) as two complementary mixed ionic-electronic conductors in high-performing stand-alone chemiresistors. This work presents significant improvement in i) sensor recovery kinetics, ii) cycling stability, and iii) dynamic range at room temperature. The effect of hybridization across well-studied cMOFs is demonstrated based on 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexahydroxytriphenylene (HHTP) and 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexaiminotriphenylene (HITP) ligands with varied metal nodes (Co, Cu, Ni). A comprehensive mechanistic study is conducted to relate energy band alignments at the heterojunctions between the MOFs and the polymer with sensing thermodynamics and binding kinetics. The findings reveal that hole enrichment of the cMOF component upon hybridization leads to selective enhancement in desorption kinetics, enabling significantly improved sensor recovery at room temperature, and thus long-term response retention. This mechanism is further supported by density functional theory calculations on sorbate-analyte interactions. It is also found that alloying cPs and cMOFs enables facile thin film co-processing and device integration, potentially unlocking the use of these hybrid conductors in diverse electronic applications.

Abstract
Self-supported branched poly(ethylenimine) scaffolds with ordered macropores are synthesized with and without Al2O3 powder additive by cross-linking poly(ethylenimine) (PEI) with poly(ethylene glycol) diglycidyl ether (PEGDGE) at -196 °C. The scaffolds' CO2 uptake performance is compared with a conventional sorbent, i.e., PEI impregnated on an Al2O3 support. PEI scaffolds with Al2O3 additive show narrow pore size distribution and thinner pore walls than alumina-free materials, facilitating higher CO2 uptake at conditions relevant to direct air capture. The PEI scaffold containing 6.5 wt % Al2O3 had the highest CO2 uptake of 1.23 mmol/g of sorbent under 50% RH 400 ppm of CO2 conditions. In situ DRIFT spectroscopy and temperature-programmed desorption experiments show a significant CO2 uptake contribution via physisorption as well as carbamic acid formation, with lower CO2 binding energies in PEI scaffolds relative to conventional PEI sorbents, likely a result of a lower population of primary amines due to the amine cross-linking reactions during scaffold synthesis. The PEI scaffold containing 6.5 wt % Al2O3 is estimated to have the lowest desorption energy penalty under humid conditions, 4.6 GJ/tCO2, among the sorbents studied.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) and covalent organic framework (COF) are a huge group of advanced porous materials exhibiting attractive and tunable microstructural features, such as large surface area, tunable pore size, and functional surfaces, which have significant values in various application areas. The emerging 3D printing technology further provides MOF and COFs (M/COFs) with higher designability of their macrostructure and demonstrates large achievements in their performance by shaping them into advanced 3D monoliths. However, the currently available 3D printing M/COFs strategy faces a major challenge of severe destruction of M/COFs' microstructural features, both during and after 3D printing. It is envisioned that preserving the microstructure of M/COFs in the 3D-printed monolith will bring a great improvement to the related applications. In this overview, the 3D-printed M/COFs are categorized into M/COF-mixed monoliths and M/COF-covered monoliths. Their differences in the properties, applications, and current research states are discussed. The up-to-date advancements in paste/scaffold composition and printing/covering methods to preserve the superior M/COF microstructure during 3D printing are further discussed for the two types of 3D-printed M/COF. Throughout the analysis of the current states of 3D-printed M/COFs, the expected future research direction to achieve a highly preserved microstructure in the 3D monolith is proposed.

Hierarchically porous amino-functionalized nanoMOF network anchored phosphomolybdic acid for oxidative desulfurization and shaping application. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 658:313-323.

Abstract
The applications of hierarchically porous metal-organic frameworks (HP-MOFs) against traditional microporous counterparts for oxidative desulfurization (ODS) have triggered wide research interests due to their highly exposed accessible active sites and fast mass transfer of substrate molecules, particularly for the large-sized refractory sulfur compounds. Herein, a series of hierarchically porous amino-functionalized Zr-MOFs (HP-UiO-66-NH2-X) network with controllable mesopore sizes (3.5-9.2 nm) were firstly prepared through a template-free method, which were further utilized as anchoring support to bind the active phosphomolybdic acid (PMA) via the strong host-guest interaction to catalyze the ODS reaction. Benefitting from the hierarchically porous structure, accessible active sites and the strong host-guest interaction, the resultant PMA/HP-UiO-66-NH2-X exhibited excellent ODS performance, of which, the PMA/HP-UiO-66-NH2-9 with an appropriate mesopore size (4.0 nm) showed the highest catalytic activity, achieving a 99.9% removal of dibenzothiophene (DBT) within 60 min at 50 °C, far exceeding the microporous sample and PMA/HP-UiO-66. Furthermore, the scavenger experiments confirmed that •OH radical was the main reactive species and the density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that electron transfer (from amino group to PMA) made PMA react more easily with oxidant, thereby generating more •OH radical to promote the ODS reaction. Finally, from the industrial point of view, the powdered MOF nanoparticles (NPs) were in situ grown on the carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) substrates and shaped into monolithic MOF-based catalysts, which still exhibited satisfying ODS performance in the case of model real fuel with good reusability, indicating its potential industrial application prospect.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have captured the imagination of researchers for their highly tunable properties and many potential applications, including as catalysts for a variety of transformations. Even though MOFs possess significant potential, the challenges associated with processing of these crystalline powders into usable form factors while retaining their functional properties limit their end use applications. Herein, we introduce a new approach to construct MOF-polymer composites via 3D photoprinting to overcome these limitations. We designed photoresin composite formulations that use polymerization-induced phase separation to cause the MOF catalysts to migrate to the surface of the printed material, where they are accessible to substrates such as chemical warfare agents. Using our approach, MOF-polymer composites can be fabricated into nearly any shape or architecture while retaining both the excellent catalytic activity at 10 wt % loading of the MOF components and the flexible, elastomeric mechanical properties of a polymer.

Abstract
Zeolites, silica-supported amines, and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been demonstrated as promising adsorbents for direct air CO2 capture (DAC), but the shaping and structuring of these materials into sorbent modules for practical processes have been inadequately investigated compared to the extensive research on powder materials. Furthermore, there have been relatively few studies reporting the DAC performance of sorbent contactors under cold, subambient conditions (temperatures below 20 °C). In this work, we demonstrate the successful fabrication of adsorbent monoliths composed of cellulose acetate (CA) and adsorbent particles such as zeolite 13X and MOF MIL-101(Cr) by a 3D printing technique: solution-based additive manufacturing (SBAM). These monoliths feature interpenetrated macroporous polymeric frameworks in which microcrystals of zeolite 13X or MIL-101(Cr) are evenly distributed, highlighting the versatility of SBAM in fabricating monoliths containing sorbents with different particle sizes and density. Branched poly(ethylenimine) (PEI) is successfully loaded into the CA/MIL-101(Cr) monoliths to impart CO2 uptakes of 1.05 mmol gmonolith-1 at -20 °C and 400 ppm of CO2. Kinetic analysis shows that the CO2 sorption kinetics of PEI-loaded MIL-101(Cr) sorbents are not compromised in the monoliths compared to the powder sorbents. Importantly, these monoliths exhibit promising working capacities (0.95 mmol gmonolith-1) over 14 temperature swing cycles with a moderate regeneration temperature of 60 °C. Dynamic breakthrough experiments at 25 °C under dry conditions reveal a CO2 uptake capacity of 0.60 mmol gmonolith-1, which further increases to 1.05 and 1.43 mmol gmonolith-1 at -20 °C under dry and humid (70% relative humidity) conditions, respectively.

Abstract
The interest in and application of metal organic frameworks (MOF) is increasing every year. These substances are widely used in many places, including the separation and storage of gases and energy, catalysis, electrochemistry, optoelectronics, and medicine. Their use in polymer technology is also increasing, focusing mainly on the synthesis of MOF-polymer hybrid compounds. Due to the presence of metal ions in their structure, they can also serve as a component of the crosslinking system used for curing elastomers. This article presents the possibility of using zeolitic imidazolate framework ZIF-8 or MOF-5 as activators for sulfur vulcanization of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), replacing zinc oxide in conventional (CV) or effective (EF) curing systems to different extents. Their participation in the curing process and influence on the crosslinking density and structure, as well as the mechanical and thermal properties of the rubber vulcanizates, were examined.

Abstract
In this work, we investigated the photocatalytic removal of NOx using 3D-printed supports. Monolithic supports with internal channels were fabricated by Fused Modelling Deposition (FDM) using PET as the filament feedstock. The printing parameters of the supports were optimized to maximize the exposure of the photocatalyst to UV light throughout the monolithic PET printed supports. The removal experiments were carried out in a continuous gas phase flow reactor, which was custom designed in-house incorporating a 3D printed PET support impregnated with TiO2 as photocatalyst. The impregnated and non-impregnated supports were characterized by diffuse reflectance spectrometry, SEM and AFM. The effect of several key-factors on the NOx removal capacity was investigated, including the type of PET filament (native recycled, BPET vs. glycol-modified, PETG), the type of TiO2 (P25 vs. Hombikat UV-100), the UV light source (LED vs. tubular lamps), and the number of deposited TiO2 layers. The highest NO and NOx removal were achieved by using PETG supports coated with a single layer of Hombikat UV-100 and irradiating the flat reactor from both sides using two sets of black light lamps. However, the highest selectivity toward nitrate formation was obtained when using P25 under the same experimental conditions. This work demonstrates that 3D printing is a reliable and powerful technique for fabricating photocatalytic reactive supports that can serve as a versatile platform for evaluating photocatalytic performance.

Abstract
The intrinsic lack of processability in the conventional nano/microcrystalline powder form of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) greatly limits their application in various fields. Synthesis of MOFs with certain flowability make them promising for multitudinous applications. The direct synthesis strategy represents one of the simplest and efficient method for synthesizing solution processable MOF sols/suspensions, compared with other approaches, for instance, the post-synthesis surface modification, the direct dispersion of MOFs in hindered ionic liquids, as well as the calcination method toward a few MOFs with melting behavior. This article reviews the recent direct synthesis strategies of solution processable MOF sols and their typical applications in different fields. The direct synthesis strategies of MOF sols can be classified into two categories: particle size reduction strategy, and selective coordination strategy. The synthesis mechanism of different strategies and the factors affecting the formation of sols are summarized. The application of solution processable MOF sols in different fields are introduced, showing great application potentials. Furthermore, the challenges faced by the direct synthesis of MOF sols and the main methods to deal with the challenges are emphasized, and the future development trend is prospected.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are emerging as advanced nanoporous materials to remove phenylarsenic acid, p-arsanilic acid (p-ASA), and roxarsone (ROX) in the aqueous solution, while MOFs are often present as powder state and encounter difficulties in recovery after adsorption, which greatly limit their practical application in the aqueous environments. Herein, MIL-101 (Fe), a typical MOF, was mixed with sodium alginate and gelatin to prepare MIL-101@CAGE by three-dimensional (3D) printing technology, which was then used as a separatable adsorbent to remove phenylarsenic acid in the aqueous solution. The structure of 3D-printed MIL-101@CAGE was first characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and thermogravimetry and differential thermogravimetry (TG-DTG). The octahedral morphology of MIL-101 (Fe) was found unchanged during the 3D printing process. Then, the adsorption process of MIL-101@CAGE on phenylarsenic acids was systematically investigated by adsorption kinetics, adsorption isotherms, adsorption thermodynamics, condition experiments, and cyclic regeneration experiments. Finally, the adsorption mechanism between MIL-101@CAGE and phenylarsenic acid was further investigated. The results showed that the Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin isotherms were well fit, and according to the Langmuir fitting results, the maximum adsorption amounts of MIL-101@CAGE on p-ASA and ROX at 25 °C were 106.98 and 120.28 mg/g, respectively. The removal of p-ASA and ROX by MIL-101@CAGE remained stable over a wide pH range and in the presence of various coexisting ions. The regeneration experiments showed that the 3D-printed MIL-101@CAGE could still maintain a more than 90% removal rate after five cycles. The adsorption mechanism of this system might include π-π stacking interactions between the benzene ring on the phenylarsenic acids and the organic ligands in MIL-101@CAGE, hydrogen-bonding, and ligand-bonding interactions (Fe-O-As). This study provides a new idea for the scale preparation of a separatable and recyclable adsorbent based on MOF material for the efficient removal of phenylarsenic acid in the aqueous solution.

Abstract
Conventional adsorbents and catalysts shaped by granulation or extrusion have high pressure drop and poor flexibility for chemical, energy, and environmental processes. Direct ink writing (DIW), a kind of 3D printing, has evolved into a crucial technique for manufacturing scalable configurations of adsorbents and catalysts with satisfactory programmable automation, highly optional materials, and reliable construction. Particularly, DIW can generate specific morphologies required for excellent mass transfer kinetics, which is essential in gas-phase adsorption and catalysis. Here, DIW methodologies for mass transfer enhancement in gas-phase adsorption and catalysis, covering the raw materials, fabrication process, auxiliary optimization methods, and practical applications are comprehensively summarized. The prospects and challenges of DIW methodology in realizing good mass transfer kinetics are discussed. Ideal components with a gradient porosity, multi-material structure, and hierarchical morphology are proposed for future investigations.

Abstract
The ever-increasing atmospheric CO2 level is considered to be the major cause of climate change. Although the move away from fossil fuel-based energy generation to sustainable energy sources would significantly reduce the release of CO2 into the atmosphere, it will most probably take time to be fully implemented on a global scale. On the other hand, capturing CO2 from emission sources or directly from the atmosphere are robust approaches that can reduce the atmospheric CO2 concentration in a relatively short time. Here, we provide a perspective on the recent development of metal-organic framework (MOF)-based solid sorbents that have been investigated for application in CO2 capture from low-concentration (<10 000 ppm) CO2 sources. We summarized the different sorbent engineering approaches adopted by researchers, both from the sorbent development and processing viewpoints. We also discuss the immediate challenges of using MOF-based CO2 sorbents for low-concentration CO2 capture. MOF-based materials, with tuneable pore properties and tailorable surface chemistry, and ease of handling, certainly deserve continued development into low-cost, efficient CO2 sorbents for low-concentration CO2 capture.

Abstract
Activated carbon sorbents were directly 3D-printed into highly adaptable monolithic/multi-channel systems by using potassium silicate as a low-temperature binder. By employing emerging 3D-printing technologies, monolithic structured sorbents were printed and fully characterized using N2, Ar, and CO2-sorption and Hg-intrusion porosimetry. The CO2-capture performance and the required temperature for active-site regeneration were evaluated by thermogravimetric analysis-looping experiments. A mechanically stable activated carbon sorbent was developed with an increased carbon capture performance, even when a room-temperature regeneration by N2 purging was applied. Although the CO2 uptake slightly dropped after several cycles due to incomplete recovery at room temperature, a capacity increase of 25% was observed in comparison with the original activated carbon powder. To improve the recovery of the active sorbent, an optimization of the desorption step was performed by increasing the regeneration temperature up to 150 °C. This resulted in a CO2 uptake of the composite material of 0.76 mmol/g, almost tripling the working capacity of the original activated carbon powder (0.28 mmol/g). An in situ X-ray diffraction study was carried out to confirm the proposed sorption mechanism, indicating the presence of potassium bicarbonates and confirming the combination of physisorption and chemisorption in our composites. Finally, the structured adsorbent was heated homogeneously by applying a current through the monolith. These results describe the development of a new type of 3D-printed regenerable CO2 sorbents by using potassium silicate as a low-temperature binder, providing high mechanical strength, good chemical and thermal stability, and improving the total CO2 capacity. Moreover, the developed monolith is showing a homogeneous resistivity, leading to uniform Joule heating of the CO2 adsorbent.

Abstract
Translating the performance of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) from laboratory to macroscopic reality demands specific morphologies. Thus, the advancement in morphological modulation has recently gained some momentum. A clear understanding of nano- to macroscopic architecture is critical to determine, optimize, and improve performances of this atomically precise porous material. Along with their chemical compositions and molecular frameworks, the prospect of morphology in various applications should be discussed and highlighted. A thorough insight into morphology versus application will help produce better-engineered COFs for practical implications. 2D and 3D frameworks can be transformed into various solids such as nanospheres, thin films, membranes, monoliths, foams, etc., for numerous applications in adsorption, separation photocatalysis, the carbon dioxide reduction, supercapacitors, and fuel cells. However, the research on COF chemistry mainly focuses on correlating structure to property, structure to morphology, and structure to applications. Here, critical insights on various morphological evolution and associated applications are provided. In each case, the underlying role of morphology is unveiled. Toward the end, a correlation between morphology and application is provided for the future development of COFs.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) possess excellent advantages, such as high porosity, large specific surface area, and an adjustable structure, showing good potential for applications in gas adsorption and separation, catalysis, conductivity, sensing, magnetism, etc. However, they still suffer from significant limitations in terms of the scale-up synthesis and shaping, hindering the realization of large-scale commercial applications. Despite some attempts having been devoted to addressing this, challenges remain. In this paper, we outline the advantages and drawbacks of existing synthetic routes such as electrochemistry, microwave, ultrasonic radiation, green solvent reflux, room temperature stirring, steam-assisted transformation, mechanochemistry, and fluid chemistry in terms of scale-up production. Then, the shaping methods of MOFs such as extrusion, mechanical compaction, rolling granulation, spray drying, gel technology, embedded granulation, phase inversion, 3D printing and other shaping methods for the preparation of membranes, coatings and nanoparticles are discussed. Finally, perspectives on the large-scale synthesis and shaping of MOFs are also proposed. This work helps provide in-depth insight into the scale-up production and shaping process of MOFs and boost commercial applications of MOFs.

Abstract
Significant progress has been made in direct air capture (DAC) in recent years. Evidence suggests that the large-scale deployment of DAC by adsorption would be technically feasible for gigatons of CO2 capture annually. However, great efforts in adsorption-based DAC technologies are still required. This review provides an exhaustive description of materials development, adsorbent shaping, in situ characterization, adsorption mechanism simulation, process design, system integration, and techno-economic analysis of adsorption-based DAC over the past five years; and in terms of adsorbent development, affordable DAC adsorbents such as amine-containing porous materials with large CO2 adsorption capacities, fast kinetics, high selectivity, and long-term stability under ultra-low CO2 concentration and humid conditions. It is also critically important to develop efficient DAC adsorptive processes. Research and development in structured adsorbents that operate at low-temperature with excellent CO2 adsorption capacities and kinetics, novel gas-solid contactors with low heat and mass transfer resistances, and energy-efficient regeneration methods using heat, vacuum, and steam purge is needed to commercialize adsorption-based DAC. The synergy between DAC and carbon capture technologies for point sources can help in mitigating climate change effects in the long-term. Further investigations into DAC applications in the aviation, agriculture, energy, and chemical industries are required as well. This work benefits researchers concerned about global energy and environmental issues, and delivers perspective views for further deployment of negative-emission technologies.

Abstract
In this study, new composite materials of montmorillonite, biochar, or aerosil, containing metal–organic frameworks (MOF) were synthesized in situ. Overall, three different MOFs—CuBTC, UTSA-16, and UiO-66-BTEC—were used. Obtained adsorbents were characterized using powder X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, nitrogen adsorption porosimetry, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry. Additionally, the content of metallic and nonmetallic elements was determined to investigate the crystalline structure, surface morphology, thermal stability of the obtained MOF-composites, etc. Cyclic CO2 adsorption analysis was performed using the thermogravimetric approach, modeling adsorption from flue gasses. In our study, the addition of aerosil to CuBTC (CuBTC-A-15) enhanced the sorbed CO2 amount by 90.2% and the addition of biochar (CuBTC-BC-5) increased adsorbed the CO2 amount by 75.5% in comparison to pristine CuBTC obtained in this study. Moreover, the addition of montmorillonite (CuBTC-Mt-15) increased the adsorbed amount of CO2 by 27%. CuBTC-A-15 and CuBTC-BC-5 are considered to be the most perspective adsorbents, capturing 3.7 mmol/g CO2 and showing good stability after 20 adsorption-desorption cycles.

Abstract
In-situ thermally regenerated flexible adsorption films are superior for long-term purification of indoor low-concentration volatile organic compounds (VOCs). To further improve the adsorption kinetics of the films, the surface morphology of adsorption films was suggested in hierarchical channel structure. However, such structure is far from practical applications because of its complicated fabrication method and limited flexibility. In this study, we proposed a convenient and fast method named direct ink writing (DIW) based 3D printing to fabricate flexible adsorption films. Inks were prepared to have appropriate rheological properties and good printability. Three types of adsorption film (flat, straight finned, and trough-like finned) were constructed on flexible polyimide circuit substrates by DIW. We utilized the printed adsorption films for indoor level (1 ppm) formaldehyde removal. The trough-like finned film achieved the best performance among the three printed films, showing a 275% longer penetration time and 252% larger effective adsorption capacity than the flat film. By conducting a 7-cycle adsorption-desorption experiment (more than 12 h), we verified that the films' adsorption performance could effectively recover via in-situ heating. This work could dance around the complicated coating process, increase the structural flexibility and reduce the adsorbent interfacial modification cost.

Abstract
The rare earth elements being toxic in nature are being accumulated in water bodies as their industrial usage is growing exponentially, thus their efficient separation holds an immense significance. Herein, ligand functionalized metal organic framework (MOF), Phosphonomethyl iminodiacetic acid coordinated at Fe-BTC, was synthesized post-synthetically and incorporated subsequently in polyacrylonitrile polymer to prepare the composite beads via nonsolvent induced-phase-inversion technique for selective adsorption of La(III) from the wastewater in batch and dynamic column mode. XPS NMR, and FTIR were used to establish the interaction between functionalized ligand and unsaturated metal nodes of MOF. The adsorption capacity was 232.5 mg/g and 77.51 mg/g at 298 K of the functionalized MOF and composite beads respectively. Adsorption kinetics followed a pseudo-second order rate equation, and isotherm indicated the best fitting with Langmuir model. The dynamic behavior of the adsorption column packed with MOF/Polymer beads was fairly described by the Thomas model. The breakthrough time of 23.2 h could be attained with 12 cm of bed height and 10 ml/min of flow rate. These MOF/Polymer beads shown the selectivity of La over transitional metals were recycled over 5 times with about 15% loss of adsorption capacity. The findings provide suggestive insights of the potential use of functionalized MOF towards the separation of the rare earth element.

Abstract
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) could be utilized for a wide range of applications such as sorption, catalysis, chromatography, energy storage, sensors, drug delivery, and nonlinear optics. However, to date, there are very few examples of MOFs exploited on a commercial scale. Nevertheless, progress in MOF-related research is currently paving the way to new industrial opportunities, fostering applications and processes interconnecting fundamental chemistry with engineering and relevant sectors. Yet, the fabrication of porous MOF materials within resistant structures is a key challenge impeding their wide commercial use for processes such as adsorptive separation. In fact, the integration of nano-scale MOF crystallic structures into bulk components that can maintain the desired characteristics, i.e., size, shape, and mechanical stability, is a prerequisite for their wide practical use in many applications. At the same time, it requires sophisticated shaping techniques that can structure nano/micro-crystalline fine powders of MOFs into diverse types of macroscopic bodies such as monoliths. Under this framework, this review aims to bridge the gap between research advances and industrial necessities for fostering MOF applications into real life. Therefore, it critically explores recent advances in the shaping and production of MOF macro structures with regard to the binding materials that have received little attention to date, but have the potential to give new perspectives in the industrial applicability of MOFs. Moreover, it proposes future paths that can be adopted from both academy and industry and can further boost MOF exploitation.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOF), potentially porous coordination structures, are envisioned for adsorption-based natural gas (ANG) storage, including mobile applications. The factors affecting the performance of the ANG system with a zirconium-based MOF with benzene dicarboxylic acid as a linker (ZrBDC) as an adsorbent were considered: textural properties of the adsorbent and thermal effect arising upon adsorption. The high-density ZrBDC-based pellets were prepared by mechanical compaction of the as-synthesized MOF powder at different pressures from 30 to 240 MPa at 298 K without a binder and mixed with polymer binders: polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and carboxyl methylcellulose (CMC). The structural investigations revealed that the compaction of ZrBDC with PVA under 30 MPa was optimal to produce the ZrBDC-PVA adsorbent with more than a twofold increase in the packing density and the lowest degradation of the porous structure. The specific total and deliverable volumetric methane storage capacities of the ZrBDC-based adsorbents were evaluated from the experimental data on methane adsorption measured up to 10 MPa and within a temperature range from 253 to 333 K. It was measured experimentally that at 253 K, an 100 mL adsorption tank loaded with the ZrBDC-PVA pellets exhibited the deliverable methane storage capacity of 172 m3(NTP)/m3 when the pressure dropped from 10 to 0.1 MPa. The methane adsorption data for the ZrBDC powder and ZrBDC-PVA pellets were used to calculate the important thermodynamic characteristic of the ZrBDC/CH4 adsorption system—the differential molar isosteric heat of adsorption, which was used to evaluate the state thermodynamic functions: entropy, enthalpy, and heat capacity. The initial heats of methane adsorption in powdered ZrBDC evaluated from the experimental adsorption isosteres were found to be ~19.3 kJ/mol, and then these values in the ZrBDC/CH4 system decreased at different rates during adsorption. In contrast, the heat of methane adsorption onto the ZrBDC-PVA pellets increased from 19.4 kJ/mol to a maximum with a magnitude, width, and position depended on temperature, and then it fell. The behaviors of the thermodynamic state functions of the ZrBDC/CH4 adsorption system were interpreted as a variation in the state of adsorbed molecules determined by a ratio of CH4-CH4 and CH4-ZrBDC interactions. The heat of adsorption was used to calculate the temperature changes of the ANG systems loaded with ZrBDC powder and ZrBDC pellets during methane adsorption under adiabatic conditions; the maximum integrated heat of adsorption was found at 273 K. The maximum temperature changes of the ANG system with the ZrBDC materials during the adsorption (charging) process did not exceed 14 K that are much lower than those reported for the systems loaded with activated carbons. The results obtained are of direct relevance for designing the adsorption-based methane storage systems for the automotive industry, developing new gas-power robotics systems and uncrewed aerial vehicles.

Abstract
Among the new adsorbent forms, nanofiber structures have attracted extra attention because of features such as high surface area, controllable properties, and fast kinetics. The objective of this study is to produce the polyacrylonitrile (PAN) electrospun nanofibers loaded with Ni-MOF-74/MWCNT to obtain maximum CO2 adsorption. The prepared PAN/MWCNT/MOF nanofiber based on the Box–Behnken design (BBD) model suggests the CO2 adsorption of about 1.68 mmol/g (at 25 °C and 7 bar) includes 14.61 w/v%, 1.43 w/w%, and 11.9 w/w% for PAN, MWCNT, and MOF, respectively. The results showed the effective CO2 adsorption of about 1.65 ± 0.03 mmol/g (BET = 65 m2/g, pore volume = 0.08 cm3/g), which proves the logical outcomes of the chosen model. The prepared PAN/MWCNT/MOF nanofiber was characterized using different analyzes such as SEM, TEM, TG, XRD, FTIR, and N2 adsorption–desorption isotherms. More MOF mass loading on the nanofiber surface via secondary growth method resulted in 2.83 mmol/g (BET = 353 m2/g, pore volume = 0.22 cm3/g, 43% MOF mass loading) and 4.35 mmol/g (BET = 493 m2/g, pore volume = 0.27 cm3/g, 65% MOF mass loading) CO2 adsorption at 7 bar for the first and second growth cycles, respectively. This indicates that secondary growth is more effective in the MOF loading amount and, consequently, adsorption capacity compared to the MOF loading during electrospinning.

Abstract
The synthesis of dihydroxybenzenes (DHBZ), essential chemical reagents in numerous industrial processes, with a high degree of selectivity and yield from the hydroxylation of phenol is progressively attracting great interest in the catalysis field. Furthermore, the additive manufacturing of catalysts to produce 3D printed monoliths would provide additional benefits to enhance the DHBZ synthesis performance. Herein, 3D cellular Fe/γ-Al2O3 monoliths with a total porosity of 88% and low density (0.43 g·cm-3) are printed by Robocasting from pseudoplastic Fe-metal-organic frameworks (Fe-MOF)-based aqueous boehmite inks to develop catalytic monoliths containing a Fe network of dispersed clusters (≤5 μm), nanoclusters (<50 nm), and nanoparticles (∼20 nm) into the porous ceramic skeleton. The hydroxylation of phenol in the presence of hydrogen peroxide is carried out at different reaction temperatures (65-85 °C) in a flow reactor filled with eight stacked 3D Fe/γ-Al2O3 monoliths and with the following operating conditions: Cphenol,0 = 0.33 M, Cphenol,0/CH2O2,0 = 1:1 molar, WR = 2.2 g, and space time (τ = W·QL-1) = 0-147 gcat·h·L-1. The scaffolds present a good mechanical resistance (∼1 MPa) to be employed in a catalytic reactor and do not show any cracks or damage after the chemical reaction. DHBZ selectivity (SDHBZ) of 100% with a yield (YDHBZ) of 32% due to the presence of the Fe network in the monoliths is reported at 85 °C, which represents an improved synthesis performance as compared to that obtained by using the conventional Enichem process and the well-known titanium silicalite-1 catalysts (SDHBZ = 99.1% and YDHBZ = 29.6% at 80 °C). This printing strategy allows manufacturing novel 3D structured catalysts for the synthesis of critical chemical compounds with higher reaction efficiencies.

Abstract
A novel lead-containing metal-organic framework (Pb-MOF) is synthesized through postmetalation of MOF-525. Postmetalation renders lead ions bound with the organic linker of MOF-525, which can serve as nucleation points to promote perovskite crystallization. The introduction of lead postmetalated MOF-525 (Pb-MOF) as a scaffold layer between compact TiO2 (c-TiO2) layer and perovskite layer promotes perovskite crystal growth in enlarging crystal grain size with better crystallinity, hence decreasing defect sites in the perovskite layer. Postmetalation of MOF-525 with lead ions allows MAPbI3 to form a solid crystal structure to facilitate the charge separation between electron transport layer (ETL) and light-harvesting layer so as to resolve the issue of possible vacancies present in MOFs. As a result, the champion perovskite solar cell (PSC) with the introduction of Pb-MOF exhibits a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 20.87% and better stability (86% PCE retention after 40 days), outperforming the pristine PSC (16.85% PCE, with 52% retention after 40 days) and MOF-525-introduced PSC (18.61% PCE, with 76% retention after 40 days).

Abstract
Luminescent metal-organic frameworks (LMOFs) are a class of interesting and well-investigated MOF materials, which have shown remarkable prospects in the past and have been widely applied in different fields. However, due to their organic hybrid aspect, micro-/nano-patterning LMOFs in devices via a conventional semiconductor process is very challenging. In this work, we have introduced an elegant technique via nonlinear photon-chemical effect to induce the synthesis and growth of LMOFs. A facile technique for local synthesis and micro-pattering Tb-based luminescent metal organic frameworks (Tb(BTC)·G) from a solution of precursors is achieved. A single step approach micro-patterning for device integration with simultaneous chemical synthesis was proposed. Micro-devices with excellent fluorescence performance based on Tb(BTC)·G have been demonstrated. This work first suggested a high resolution bottom-up micro-patterning technique for MOF device fabrication using femtosecond laser direct writing, showing great potential on MOF based micro/nano-devices integration, especially promising for patterning high resolution luminescent MOF devices.

Here we report new porous carbon materials obtained by 3D printing from photopolymer compositions with zinc- and nickel-based metal–organic frameworks, ZIF-8 and Ni-BTC, followed by high-temperature pyrolysis. The pyrolyzed materials that retain the shapes of complex objects contain pores, which were produced by boiling zinc and magnetic nickel particles. The two thus provided functionalities—large specific surface area and ferromagnetism—that pave the way towards creating heterogenous catalysts that can be easily removed from reaction mixtures in industrial catalytic processes.

Abstract
Elaborate design of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) composites with enhanced properties is of fundamental interest and practical importance in the fields of catalysis. Typical strategies are usually focused on how to increase MOFs contents while lacking architecture design for performance improvements. Herein, we first report MOFs composites with Janus structures to boost catalytic performance by Le Châtelier's principle when using wood aerogel as a versatile platform. Janus structures mean that one part of the composite is still wood aerogel while the other part is decorated with MOFs. The underoil hydrophilicity of the wood aerogels endows the Janus composites with dehydration capacity for promoting the equilibrium movement so as to boost the catalytic performance. The catalytic performance of Janus composites for the Knoevenagel reaction increases more than 40% compared with those symmetric composites. Moreover, both the final conversion and the reaction rate are much better for the Janus composites than other state-of-the-art heterogeneous ZIF-8-based catalysts. Our design is general and paves the way to exploit composites with special architecture.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2021; 790:148211. [PMID: 34111784 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.148211] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2021] [Revised: 05/29/2021] [Accepted: 05/29/2021] [Indexed: 05/25/2023]
Abstract
Ventilation Air Methane emissions (VAM) from coal mines lead to environmental concern because their high global warming potential and the loss of methane resources. VAM upgrading requires pre-concentration processes dealing with high flow rates of very diluted streams (<1% methane). Therefore, methane separation and concentration is technically challenging and has important environmental and safety concerns. Among the alternatives, adsorption on Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) could be an interesting option to methane selective separation, due to its tuneable character and outstanding physical properties. Most of the works devoted to the methane adsorption on MOFs deal with methane storage. Therefore, these works were reviewed to determine the properties governing methane-MOF interactions. In addition, the metallic ions and organic linkers roles have been identified. With these premises, decisive effects in the methane adsorption selectivity in nitrogen/methane lean mixtures have been discussed, since nitrogen is the most concentrated gas in the VAM stream, and it is very similar to methane molecule. In order to fulfill this overview, the effect of other aspects, such as the presence of polar compounds (moisture and carbon dioxide), was also considered. In addition, engineering considerations in the operation of fixed bed adsorption units and the main challenges associated to MOFs as adsorbents were also discussed.

Abstract
Computational screening methods have changed the way new materials and processes are discovered and designed. For adsorption-based gas separations and carbon capture, recent efforts have been directed toward the development of multiscale and performance-based screening workflows where we can go from the atomistic structure of an adsorbent to its equilibrium and transport properties at different scales, and eventually to its separation performance at the process level. The objective of this work is to review the current status of this new approach, discuss its potential and impact on the field of materials screening, and highlight the challenges that limit its application. We compile and introduce all the elements required for the development, implementation, and operation of multiscale workflows, hence providing a useful practical guide and a comprehensive source of reference to the scientific communities who work in this area. Our review includes information about available materials databases, state-of-the-art molecular simulation and process modeling tools, and a complete catalogue of data and parameters that are required at each stage of the multiscale screening. We thoroughly discuss the challenges associated with data availability, consistency of the models, and reproducibility of the data and, finally, propose new directions for the future of the field.

Abstract
Mechanical stability and multicycle durability are essential for emerging solid sorbents to maintain an efficient CO2 adsorption capacity and reduce cost. In this work, a strong foam-like composite is developed as a CO2 sorbent by the in situ growth of thermally stable and microporous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in a mesoporous cellulose template derived from balsa wood, which is delignified by using sodium chlorite and further functionalized by 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO)-mediated oxidation. The surface carboxyl groups in the TEMPO-oxidized wood template (TO-wood) facilitate the coordination of the cellulose network with multivalent metal ions and thus enable the nucleation and in situ growth of MOFs including copper benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate [Cu3(BTC)2], zinc 2-methylimidazolate, and aluminum benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate. The TO-wood/Cu3(BTC)2 composite shows a high specific surface area of 471 m2 g-1 and a high CO2 adsorption capacity of 1.46 mmol g-1 at 25 °C and atmospheric pressure. It also demonstrates high durability during the temperature swing cyclic CO2 adsorption/desorption test. In addition, the TO-wood/Cu3(BTC)2 composite is lightweight but exceptionally strong with a specific elastic modulus of 3034 kN m kg-1 and a specific yield strength of 68 kN m kg-1 under the compression test. The strong and durable TO-wood/MOF composites can potentially be used as a solid sorbent for CO2 capture, and their application can possibly be extended to environmental remediation, gas separation and purification, insulation, and catalysis.

Abstract
Porous solids in the form of adsorbents and catalysts play a crucial role in various industrially important chemical, energy, and environmental processes. Formulating them into structured configurations is a key step toward their scale up and successful implementation at the industrial level. Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, has emerged as an invaluable platform for shape engineering porous solids and fabricating scalable configurations for use in a wide variety of separation and reaction applications. However, formulating porous materials into self-standing configurations can dramatically affect their performance and consequently the efficiency of the process wherein they operate. Toward this end, various research groups around the world have investigated the formulation of porous adsorbents and catalysts into structured scaffolds with complex geometries that not only exhibit comparable or improved performance to that of their powder parents but also address the pressure drop and attrition issues of traditional configurations. In this comprehensive review, we summarize the recent advances and current challenges in the field of adsorption and catalysis to better guide the future directions in shape engineering solid materials with a better control on composition, structure, and properties of 3D-printed adsorbents and catalysts.

Abstract
The atmospheric CO2 concentration continues a rapid increase to its current record high value of 416 ppm for the time being. It calls for advanced CO2 capture technologies. One of the attractive technologies is physical adsorption-based separation, which shows easy regeneration and high cycle stability, and thus reduced energy penalties and cost. The extensive research on this topic is evidenced by the growing body of scientific and technical literature. The progress spans from the innovation of novel porous adsorbents to practical separation practices. Major CO2 capture materials include the most widely used industrially relevant porous carbons, zeolites, activated alumina, mesoporous silica, and the newly emerging metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent-organic framework (COFs). The key intrinsic properties such as pore structure, surface chemistry, preferable adsorption sites, and other structural features that would affect CO2 capture capacity, selectivity, and recyclability are first discussed. The industrial relevant variables such as particle size of adsorbents, the mechanical strength, adsorption heat management, and other technological advances are equally important, even more crucial when scaling up from bench and pilot-scale to demonstration and commercial scale. Therefore, we aim to bring a full picture of the adsorption-based CO2 separation technologies, from adsorbent design, intrinsic property evaluation to performance assessment not only under ideal equilibrium conditions but also in realistic pressure swing adsorption processes.

Abstract
In recent years, a trend toward utilizing open access resources for laboratory research has begun. Open-source design strategies for scientific hardware rely upon the use of widely available parts, especially those that can be directly printed using additive manufacturing techniques and electronic components that can be connected to low-cost microcontrollers. Open-source software eliminates the need for expensive commercial licenses and provides the opportunity to design programs for specific needs. In this review, the impact of the "open-source movement" within the field of chemical separations is described, primarily through a comprehensive look at research in this area over the past five years. Topics that are covered include general laboratory equipment, sample preparation techniques, separations-based analysis, detection strategies, electronic system control, and software for data processing. Remaining hurdles and possible opportunities for further adoption of open-source approaches in the context of these separations-related topics are also discussed.

Abstract
3D printing offers enormous flexibility in fabrication of polymer objects with complex geometries. However, it is not suitable for fabricating large polymer structures with geometrical features at the sub-micrometer scale. Porous structure at the sub-micrometer scale can render macroscopic objects with unique properties, including similarities with biological interfaces, permeability and extremely large surface area, imperative inter alia for adsorption, separation, sensing or biomedical applications. Here, we introduce a method combining advantages of 3D printing via digital light processing and polymerization-induced phase separation, which enables formation of 3D polymer structures of digitally defined macroscopic geometry with controllable inherent porosity at the sub-micrometer scale. We demonstrate the possibility to create 3D polymer structures of highly complex geometries and spatially controlled pore sizes from 10 nm to 1000 µm. Produced hierarchical polymers combining nanoporosity with micrometer-sized pores demonstrate improved adsorption performance due to better pore accessibility and favored cell adhesion and growth for 3D cell culture due to surface porosity. This method extends the scope of applications of 3D printing to hierarchical inherently porous 3D objects combining structural features ranging from 10 nm up to cm, making them available for a wide variety of applications. 3D printing offers flexibility in fabrication of polymer objects but fabrication of large polymer structures with micrometer-sized geometrical features are challenging. Here, the authors introduce a method combining advantages of 3D printing and polymerization-induced phase separation, which enables formation of 3D polymer structures with controllable inherent porosity.

Abstract
3D printing offers an attractive means of forming structured metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), as this technique imparts digital geometric tuning to fit any process column. However, 3D-printed MOF structures are usually formed by suspending presynthesized particles into an ink for further processing. This leads to poor rheological properties as MOFs do not bind with inert binders. Herein, we address this problem by coordinating the MOF secondarily by 3D printing its gelated precursors. Specifically, we produced a printable sol-gel containing ∼70 wt % of HKUST-1 precursors and optimized the in situ growth conditions by varying the desolvation temperature and activation solvent. Analysis of the so-called gel-print-grow monoliths' properties as a function of the coordination variables revealed that desolvating at 120 °C produced fully formed MOF particles with comparable diffractive indices to the parent powder regardless of the activation solvent used. Assessment of the samples' textural properties revealed that washing in acetone or methanol produced the highest surface areas, pore volumes, and CO2 adsorption capacities, however, washing with methanol produced binder swelling and collapse of the printed structure, thereby indicating that washing with acetone was more effective overall. This study represents a promising way of 3D printing MOFs and a breakthrough in additive manufacturing, since the simple, high-throughput, framework detailed herein-whereby the synthesis temperature and washing solvent are varied to optimize MOF coordination-could easily be applied to other crystallites. As such, it is anticipated that this new and exciting method will provide new paths to shape engineer MOFs for applications in energy-intensive fields and beyond.

Abstract
Reticular materials are of high interest for diverse applications, ranging from catalysis and separation to gas storage and drug delivery. These open, extended frameworks can be tailored to the intended application through crystal-structure design. Implementing these materials in application settings, however, requires structuring beyond their lattices, to interface the functionality at the molecular level effectively with the macroscopic world. To overcome this barrier, efforts in expressing structural control across molecular, nano-, meso-, and bulk regimes is the essential next step. In this Review, we give an overview of recent advances in using self-assembly as well as externally controlled tools to manufacture reticular materials over all the length scales. We predict that major research advances in deploying these two approaches will facilitate the use of reticular materials in addressing major needs of society.

Abstract
This review focuses on the usefulness of coordination bonds to create 3D printable inks and shows how the union of chemistry and 3D technology contributes to new scientific advances, by allowing amorphous or polycrystalline solids to be transformed into objects with the desired shape for successful applications. The review clearly shows how there has been considerable increase in the manufacture of objects based on the combination of organic matrices and coordination compounds. These coordination compounds are usually homogeneously dispersed within the matrix, anchored onto a proper support or coating the printed object, without destroying their unique properties. Advances are so rapid that today it is already possible to 3D print objects made exclusively from coordination compounds without additives. The new printable inks are made mainly with nanoscale nonporous coordination polymers, metal-organic gels, or metal-organic frameworks. The highly dynamic coordination bond allows the creation of objects, which respond to stimuli, that can act as sensors and be used for drug delivery. In addition, the combination of metal-organic frameworks with 3D printing allows the adsorption or selective capacity of the object to be increased, relative to that of the original compound, which is useful in energy storage, gas separation, or water pollutant elimination. Furthermore, the presence of the metal ion can give them new properties, such as luminescence, that are useful for application in sensors or anticounterfeiting. Technological advances, the combination of various printing techniques, and the properties of coordination bonds lead to the creation of surprising, new, printable inks and objects with highly complex shapes that will close the gap between academia and industry for research into coordination compounds.
