Abstract
Wearing face masks is the best way to stop the spread of respiratory infections. However, if masks are not sterilized, changing them too frequently can actually increase the risk of cross-contamination. Herein, the construction of an antipathogen photocatalytic mask with carbon vacancy-modified carbon nitride nanosheets (g-C3N4-VC Ns) coated on the non-woven fabrics of the out layer of the mask, offering effective and long-term protection against damaging pathogens when exposed to light is reported. The introduced carbon vacancies are found capable of creating energy-disordered sites and inducing energetic electric force to overcome the Coulomb interactions between electron-hole pairs, thus promoting the electron-hole separation to achieve a high generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Thanks to its high activity in generating ROS upon exposure to light, the as-prepared photocatalytic mask shows high pathogen sterilization performance. This, in turn, prolongs the mask's protective lifetime, decreases the need for regular replacement, and decreases medical waste production. The work demonstrated here opens new viewpoints in designing pathogens biocidal protective devices for health protection, offering significant promise in specific environment self-protection.

Abstract
Nanomedicines are extensively used in cancer therapy. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are crystalline organic porous materials with several benefits for cancer therapy, including porosity, design flexibility, functionalizability, and biocompatibility. This review examines the use of COFs in cancer therapy from the perspective of reticular chemistry and function-oriented materials design. First, the modification sites and functionalization methods of COFs are discussed, followed by their potential as multifunctional nanoplatforms for tumor targeting, imaging, and therapy by integrating functional components. Finally, some challenges in the clinical translation of COFs are presented with the hope of promoting the development of COF-based anticancer nanomedicines and bringing COFs closer to clinical trials.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) relying on Fenton reaction has emerged as a promising strategy for tumor treatment. However, its clinical efficacy is hindered by the inadequate reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the potential cytotoxicity towards normal cells. To address these challenges, we have successfully developed a multistage augmented cancer therapy system based on bimetallic metal-organic framework (BMOF) that amplifies ROS and facilitates tumor-specific therapeutic effects. By employing a simple one-pot self-assembly approach, we synthesized SVK3@ZnCo-ZIF in which sulfonated vitamin K3 (SVK3) was encapsulated within ZnCo-ZIF BMOF. The results revealed that the incorporation of Zn atoms significantly diluted the Fenton activity of Co atoms towards normal cells. Notably, SVK3@ZnCo-ZIF underwent pH-controlled decomposition triggered by the tumor microenvironment (TME), thus releasing SVK3, Co2+ and Zn2+. Specifically, the H2O2 levels in tumors was effectively elevated by the interaction of SVK3 with NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase-1 (NQO-1). It thus enhanced the Fenton activity of Co2+. Moreover, the release of Zn2+ ions can induce cellular dysfunction and mitochondrial damage, thereby promoting the generation of ROS and subsequent cell death. The synergistic combination of CDT, SVK3 chemotherapy, and Zn2+-interfered therapy greatly facilitated apoptosis of tumor cells. Collectively, our investigations demonstrate the efficacy of such system in selectively inducing toxicity in cancer cells while minimizing detrimental effects on normal cells.

Abstract
Designing two-dimensional (2D) ferromagnetic (FM) semiconductors with elevated Curie temperature, high carrier mobility, and strong light harvesting is challenging but crucial to the development of spintronics with multifunctionalities. Herein, we show first-principles computation evidence of the 2D metal-organic framework Kagome ferromagnet Cr3(CN3)2. Monolayer Cr3(CN3)2 is predicted to be an FM semiconductor with a record-high Curie temperature of 943 K owing to the use of a single-atom linker (N), which results in strong direct d-p exchange interaction and hybridization between dyz/xz and pz of Cr and N, as well as excellent matching characteristics in energy and symmetry. The single-atom linker structural feature also leads to notable band dispersion and a relatively high carrier mobility of 420 cm2 V-1 s-1. Moreover, under the in-plane strain, 2D Cr3(CN3)2 can be tuned to possess a strong visible-light-harvesting functionality. These novel properties render monolayer Cr3(CN3)2 a distinct 2D ferromagnet with high potential for the development of multifunctional spintronics.

Abstract
Water plays a vital role in all aspects of life. Recently, water pollution has increased exponentially due to various organic and inorganic pollutants. Organic pollutants are hard to degrade; therefore, cost-effective and sustainable approaches are needed to degrade these pollutants. Organic dyes are the major source of organic pollutants from coloring industries. The photoactive metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) offer an ultimate strategy for constructing photocatalysts to degrade pollutants present in wastewater. Therefore, tuning the metal ions/clusters and organic ligands for the better photocatalytic activity of MOFs is a tremendous approach for wastewater treatment. This review comprehensively reports various MOFs and their composites, especially POM-based MOF composites, for the enhanced photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants in the aqueous phase. A brief discussion on various theoretical aspects such as density functional theory (DFT) and machine learning (ML) related to MOF and MOF composite-based photocatalysts has been presented. Thus, this article may eventually pave the way for applying different structural features to modulate novel porous materials for enhanced photodegradation properties toward organic pollutants.

Abstract
Porous organic frameworks (POFs) have become a highly sought-after research domain that offers a promising avenue for developing cutting-edge nanostructured materials, both in their pristine state and when subjected to various chemical and structural modifications. Metal-organic frameworks, covalent organic frameworks, and hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks are examples of these emerging materials that have gained significant attention due to their unique properties, such as high crystallinity, intrinsic porosity, unique structural regularity, diverse functionality, design flexibility, and outstanding stability. This review provides an overview of the state-of-the-art research on base-stable POFs, emphasizing the distinct pros and cons of reticular framework nanoparticles compared to other types of nanocluster materials. Thereafter, the review highlights the unique opportunity to produce multifunctional tailoring nanoparticles to meet specific application requirements. It is recommended that this potential for creating customized nanoparticles should be the driving force behind future synthesis efforts to tap the full potential of this multifaceted material category.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can be customized through modular assembly to achieve a wide range of potential applications, based on their desired functionality. However, most of the initially reported MOFs are limited to microporous systems and are not sufficiently stable, which restricts their popularization. Heterogeneity is introduced into a simple MOF framework to create MOF-based heterostructures with fascinating properties and interesting functions. Heterogeneity can be introduced into the MOFs via postsynthetic/ligand exchange. Although the ligand exchange has shown potential, it is difficult to precisely control the degree of exchange or position. Among the various synthesis strategies, hierarchical assembly is particularly attractive for constructing MOF-based heterostructures, as it can achieve precise regulation of MOF-based heterostructured nanostructures. The hierarchical assembly significantly expands the compositional diversity of MOF-based heterostructures, which has high elasticity for lattice matching during the epitaxial growth of MOFs. This review focuses on the synthetic evolution mechanism of hierarchical assemblies of MOF-based nanoarchitectures. Subsequently, the precise control of pore structure, pore size, and morphology of MOF-based nanoarchitectures by hierarchical assembly is emphasized. Finally, possible solutions to address the challenges associated with heterogeneous interfaces are presented, and potential opportunities for innovative applications are proposed.
