Abstract
Construction of mesoporous frameworks by noncovalent bonding still remains a great challenge. Here, we report a micelle-directed nanocluster modular self-assembly approach to synthesize a novel type of two-dimensional (2-D) hydrogen-bonded mesoporous frameworks (HMFs) for the first time based on nanoscale cluster units (1.0-3.0 nm in size). In this 2-D structure, a mesoporous cluster plate with ∼100 nm in thickness and several micrometers in size can be stably formed into uniform hexagonal arrays. Meanwhile, such a porous plate consists of several (3-4) dozens of layers of ultrathin mesoporous cluster nanosheets. The size of the mesopores can be precisely controlled from 11.6 to 18.5 nm by utilizing the amphiphilic diblock copolymer micelles with tunable block lengths. Additionally, the pore configuration of the HMFs can be changed from spherical to cylindrical by manipulating the concentration of the micelles. As a general approach, various new HMFs have been achieved successfully via a modular self-assembly of nanoclusters with switchable configurations (nanoring, Keggin-type, and cubane-like) and components (titanium-oxo, polyoxometalate, and organometallic clusters). As a demonstration, the titanium-oxo cluster-based HMFs show efficient photocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution (3.6 mmol g-1h-1), with a conversion rate about 2 times higher than that of the unassembled titanium-oxo clusters (1.5 mmol g-1h-1). This demonstrates that HMFs exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activity compared with unassembled titanium-oxo clusters units.

Abstract
Wearable sensors hold immense potential for real-time and non-destructive sensing of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), requiring both efficient sensing performance and robust mechanical properties. However, conventional colorimetric sensor arrays, acting as artificial olfactory systems for highly selective VOC profiling, often fail to meet these requirements simultaneously. Here, a high-performance wearable sensor array for VOC visual detection is proposed by extrusion printing of hybrid inks containing surface-functionalized sensing materials. Surface-modified hydrophobic polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) improves the humidity resistance and VOC sensitivity of PDMS-coated dye/metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) composites. It also enhances their dispersion within liquid PDMS matrix, thereby promoting the hybrid liquid as high-quality extrusion-printing inks. The inks enable direct and precise printing on diverse substrates, forming a uniform and high particle-loading (70 wt%) film. The printed film on a flexible PDMS substrate demonstrates satisfactory flexibility and stretchability while retaining excellent sensing performance from dye/MOFs@PDMS particles. Further, the printed sensor array exhibits enhanced sensitivity to sub-ppm VOC levels, remarkable resistance to high relative humidity (RH) of 90%, and the differentiation ability for eight distinct VOCs. Finally, the wearable sensor proves practical by in situ monitoring of wheat scab-related VOC biomarkers. This study presents a versatile strategy for designing effective wearable gas sensors with widespread applications.

Synergistic Construction of Sub-Nanometer Channel Membranes through MOF-Polymer Composites: Strategies and Nanofiltration Applications. Polymers (Basel) 2024; 16:1653. [PMID: 38932003 PMCID: PMC11207757 DOI: 10.3390/polym16121653] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2024] [Revised: 06/06/2024] [Accepted: 06/07/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
The selective separation of small molecules at the sub-nanometer scale has broad application prospects in the field, such as energy, catalysis, and separation. Conventional polymeric membrane materials (e.g., nanofiltration membranes) for sub-nanometer scale separations face challenges, such as inhomogeneous channel sizes and unstable pore structures. Combining polymers with metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), which possess uniform and intrinsic pore structures, may overcome this limitation. This combination has resulted in three distinct types of membranes: MOF polycrystalline membranes, mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs), and thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) membranes. However, their effectiveness is hindered by the limited regulation of the surface properties and growth of MOFs and their poor interfacial compatibility. The main issues in preparing MOF polycrystalline membranes are the uncontrollable growth of MOFs and the poor adhesion between MOFs and the substrate. Here, polymers could serve as a simple and precise tool for regulating the growth and surface functionalities of MOFs while enhancing their adhesion to the substrate. For MOF mixed-matrix membranes, the primary challenge is the poor interfacial compatibility between polymers and MOFs. Strategies for the mutual modification of MOFs and polymers to enhance their interfacial compatibility are introduced. For TFN membranes, the challenges include the difficulty in controlling the growth of the polymer selective layer and the performance limitations caused by the "trade-off" effect. MOFs can modulate the formation process of the polymer selective layer and establish transport channels within the polymer matrix to overcome the "trade-off" effect limitations. This review focuses on the mechanisms of synergistic construction of polymer-MOF membranes and their structure-nanofiltration performance relationships, which have not been sufficiently addressed in the past.

Abstract
The fundamental limitation for pore preservation in a Type III porous liquid (T3PL) is the need for a small aperture from the porous filler to realize size exclusion of a bulky solvent. We present a dual-layer surface weaving strategy that can disregard this limitation and achieve micro- and mesoporous metal-organic framework (MOF)-based T3PLs even with apertures much larger than the solvent molecules. By first weaving a tight network of poly(tert-butyl methacrylate) on the MOF surface, the poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) solvent can be effectively excluded from the pores while smaller guest molecules such as CO2, C2H4, and H2O can freely access the interior, as confirmed by low-pressure adsorption isotherms. Further application of a PDMS-containing polymer coating helps lower the viscosity of the PL due to increased particle dispersibility. This strategy has resulted in the successful construction of T3PLs with aperture sizes up to 3.1 nm.

Abstract
Type III porous liquids (PLs) consist of porous solid particles dispersed in a size-excluded liquid phase and are attracting much attention as novel media for applications such as gas separation. However, the effects of fundamental variables such as particle size on their physical properties are currently largely unknown. Here we study the effects of particle size in a series of porous liquids based on solid Al(OH)(fumarate) (a microporous metal-organic framework, MOF) with particle sizes of 60 nm, 200-600 nm, or 800-1000 dispersed in liquid polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). Properties examined include physical stability of the dispersion, viscosity, total CO2 uptake, and kinetics of CO2 uptake. As expected, both physical stability and viscosity decreased with increasing particle size. Unexpectedly, total gravimetric gas uptake also varied with particle size, being greatest for the largest particles, which we ascribe to larger particles having a lower relative content of surface-bound FMA ligands. Various models for the gas uptake kinetic data were considered, specifically adsorption reaction models such as pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and Elovich models. In contrast to pure PDMS, which showed first-order kinetics, all PLs fit best to the Elovich model confirming that their uptake mechanism is more complex than for a simple liquid. Adsorption diffusion models, specifically Weber and Morris' intraparticle model and Boyd's model, were also applied which revealed a three-step process in which a combination of diffusion through a surface layer and intraparticle diffusion were rate-limiting. The rate of gas uptake follows the order PDMS < PL1 < PL2 < PL3, showing that the porous liquids take up gas more rapidly than does PDMS and that this rate increases with particle size. Overall, the study suggests that for high gas uptake and fast uptake kinetics, large particles may be preferred. Also, the fact that large particles resulted in low viscosity may be advantageous in reducing the pumping energy needed in flow separation systems. Therefore, the work suggests that finding ways to stabilize PLs with large particles against phase separation could be advantageous for optimizing the properties of PLs toward applications.

Abstract
Several synthetic methods have recently emerged to develop high-surface-area solid-state organic framework-based materials into free-flowing liquids with permanent porosity. The fluidity of these porous liquid (PL) materials provides them with advantages in certain storage and transport processes. However, most framework-based materials necessitate the use of cryogenic temperatures to store weakly bound gases such as H2, temperatures where PLs lose their fluidity. Covalent organic framework (COF)-based PLs that could reversibly form stable complexes with H2 near ambient temperatures would represent a promising development for gas storage and transport applications. We report here the development, characterization, and evaluation of a material with these remarkable characteristics based on Cu(I)-loaded COF colloids. Our synthetic strategy required tailoring conditions for growing robust coatings of poly(dimethylsiloxane)-methacrylate (PDMS-MA) around COF colloids using atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). We demonstrate exquisite control over the coating thickness on the colloidal COF, quantified by transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering. The coated COF material was then suspended in a liquid polymer matrix to make a PL. CO2 isotherms confirmed that the coating preserved the general porosity of the COF in the free-flowing liquid, while CO sorption measurements using diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) confirmed the preservation of Cu(I) coordination sites. We then evaluated the gas sorption phenomenon in the Cu(I)-COF-based PLs using DRIFTS and temperature-programmed desorption measurements. In addition to confirming that H2 transport is possible at or near mild refrigeration temperatures with these materials, our observations indicate that H2 diffusion is significantly influenced by the glass-transition temperature of both the coating and the liquid matrix. The latter result underscores an additional potential advantage of PLs in tailoring gas diffusion and storage temperatures through the coating composition.

Abstract
ConspectusThe last two decades have witnessed a tremendous development of crystalline microporous adsorbents in a wide range of applications including molecular adsorption, storage and separation, purification, as well as catalysis. The main players as porous materials that have contributed to the developments are extended molecular frameworks (e.g., metal-organic frameworks, MOFs; covalent-organic frameworks, COFs) or discrete porous molecules (e.g., metal-organic cages, MOCs; porous organic cages, POCs) thanks to the high degrees of freedom in their structural designability and tunability. To overcome the processability issue originating from their powder forms after synthesis, one main strategy is to hybridize the microporous adsorbents as pore-containing fillers with solvents or polymers as processable matrices to produce porous soft materials, such as porous liquids, gels/aerogels, and mixed-matrix membranes, depending on the form of matrix used. Nevertheless, the fabrication of "ideal" hybrid materials relies on the homogeneous distribution of the pore-containing fillers within the matrices. It is still challenging to find a versatile way to solve the aggregation issues of fillers and their insufficient interaction with the matrices, which are concerned with inhibiting the translation of the distinctive properties of microporous adsorbents into the obtained hybrid soft materials.Herein, we describe a new bottom-up approach for the fabrication of "pore-networked soft materials" based on the concept of directly interconnecting the pore-containing fillers into a continuous pore network within the matrices. The advantages of the pore-networking strategy lie in two main aspects: (i) the elimination of the need to struggle with the aggregation issue of fillers due to their overall interconnection throughout the matrices; (ii) the generation of continuous pore networks that guarantee the efficient molecular mass transfer in the materials. In this Account, we summarize our state-of-the-art progress of pore-networked soft materials based on the use of MOCs, alternatively called metal-organic polyhedra (MOPs) herein, as pore units for the pore network construction. The good solubility of MOPs in organic solvents allows them to be feasibly processed in solution, wherein the coordination of MOPs with organic linkers leads to the formation of linked MOP gels featuring not only intrinsic MOP cavities but also tunable extrinsic porosities generated between linked MOPs through the control of MOP/linker structures and network connectivity. Furthermore, the matrix of the linked MOP network, here referred to as the continuous phase with respect to the entire porous MOP network, is not limited to the solvents. We anticipate that the implementation of air, liquids, and polymers as the matrices could result in different forms of pore-networked soft materials like aerogels, foams, gels, monoliths, and membranes. For instance, we demonstrate the fabrication of linked MOP aerogel and permanently porous gel with their potential applications on selective CO2 photoreduction and gas sorption, respectively. We believe that the pore-network strategies will advance the development of porous soft materials featuring unique advantages and properties beyond the current hybrid systems.

Abstract
The imitation of mussels and oysters to create high-performance adhesives is a cutting-edge field. The introduction of inorganic fillers is shown to significantly alter the adhesive's properties, yet the potential of mesoporous materials as fillers in adhesives is overlooked. In this study, the first report on the utilization of mesoporous materials in a biomimetic adhesive system is presented. Incorporating mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) profoundly enhances the adhesion of pyrogallol (PG)-polyethylene imine (PEI) adhesive. As the MSN concentration increases, the adhesion strength to glass substrates undergoes an impressive fivefold improvement, reaching an outstanding 2.5 mPa. The adhesive forms an exceptionally strong bond, to the extent that the glass substrate fractures before joint failure. The comprehensive tests involving various polyphenols, polymers, and fillers reveal an intriguing phenomenon-the molecular structure of polyphenols significantly influences adhesive strength. Steric hindrance emerges as a crucial factor, regulating the balance between π-cation and charge interactions, which significantly impacts the multicomponent assembly of polyphenol-PEI-MSN and, consequently, adhesive strength. This groundbreaking research opens new avenues for the development of novel biomimetic materials.

Abstract
MOF-based type III porous liquids, comprising porous MOFs dissolved in a liquid solvent, have attracted increasing attention in carbon capture. However, discovering appropriate MOFs to prepare porous liquids was still limited in experiments, wasting time and energy. In this study, we have used the density functional theory and molecular dynamics simulation methods to identify 4530 MOF candidates as the core database based on the idea of prohibiting the pore occupancy of porous liquids by the solvent, [DBU-PEG][NTf2] ionic liquid. Based on high-throughput molecular simulation, random forest machine learning models were first trained to predict the CO2 sorption and the CO2/N2 sorption selectivity of MOFs to screen the MOFs to prepare porous liquids. The feature importance was inferred based on Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP) interpretation, and the ranking of the top 5 descriptors for sorption/selectivity trade-off (TSN) was gravimetric surface area (GSA) > porosity > density > metal fraction > pore size distribution (PSD, 3.5-4 Å). RICBEM was predicted to be one candidate for preparing porous liquid with CO2 sorption capacity of 20.87 mmol/g and CO2/N2 sorption selectivity of 16.75. The experimental results showed that the RICBEM-based porous liquid was successfully synthesized with CO2 sorption capacity of 2.21 mmol/g and CO2/N2 sorption selectivity of 63.2, the best carbon capture performance known to date. Such a screening method would advance the screening of cores and solvents for preparing type III porous liquids with different applications by addressing corresponding factors.

Desulfurization of diesel via joint adsorption and extraction using a porous liquid derived from ZIF-8 and a phosphonium-type ionic liquid. REACT CHEM ENG 2023; 8:3124-3132. [PMID: 38024524 PMCID: PMC10660146 DOI: 10.1039/d3re00364g] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2023] [Accepted: 07/26/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023]
Abstract
A type-III porous liquid based on zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) and an ionic liquid trihexyltetradecylphosphonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([THTDP][BTI]) was synthesized and used for the desulfurization of model diesel. The desulfurization effect by ZIF-8/[THTDP][BTI] combined both the adsorptive desulfurization by ZIF-8 and the extraction desulfurization by [THTDP][BTI]. The removal of the three chosen aromatic organic sulfides by the ZIF-8/[THTDP][BTI] porous liquid followed the order of dibenzothiophene (73.1%) > benzothiophene (70.0%) > thiophene (61.5%). It was further found that deep desulfurization could be realized by ZIF-8/[THTDP][BTI] through triple desulfurization cycles and ZIF-8/[THTDP][BTI] can be regenerated readily. The desulfurization mechanism was explored further in detail by conformation search and density functional theory calculations. Calculations supported that the large molecular volume of [THTDP][BTI] excluded itself from the cavities of ZIF-8, making the pores of ZIF-8 in the porous liquid unoccupied and accessible by other guest species, here the studied organic sulfides. These calculations indicate that the van der Waals interactions were the main interactions between ZIF-8/[THTDP][BTI] and specifically benzothiophene. This work supports that the porous liquid ZIF-8/[THTDP][BTI] could potentially be used for desulfurization of diesel in industry.

Abstract
Removal of trace impurities for natural gas purification coupled with waste gas conversion is highly desired in industry. We here report a type of porous ionic liquids (PILs) that can realize the continuous flow separation of CH4 /CO2 /H2 S and the conversion of the captured H2 S to useful products. The PILs are synthesized through a step-by-step surface modification of ionic liquids (ILs) onto UiO-66-OH nanocrystals. The introduction of free tertiary amine groups on the nanocrystal surface endows these PILs with an exceptional ability to enrich H2 S from CO2 and CH4 with impressive selectivity, while the permanent pores of UiO-66-OH act as containers to store an exceptionally higher amount of the selectively captured H2 S than the corresponding nonporous ILs. Simultaneously, the tertiary amines as dual functional moieties offer effective catalytic sites for the conversion of the H2 S stored in PILs into 3-mercaptoisobutyric acid, a key intermediate required for the synthesis of Captopril (an antihypertensive drug). Molecular dynamics, density functional theory calculations and Grand Canonical Monte Carlo simulations help understand both the mechanisms of separation and catalysis performance, confirming that the tertiary amines as well as the permanent pores in UiO-66-OH play vital roles in the whole procedure.

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
Yolk-shell metal-organic framework (YS-MOF) liquids are candidate materials in large-size species with high-efficiency separation, owing to their hierarchical porosity, faster mass transfer, better compatibility, and higher solution processability than MOF liquids with micropores. Nevertheless, facile synthesis strategies of yolk-shell porous ionic liquids (YSPILs) with regulations of size and morphology are an ongoing challenge. Herein, we propose a general strategy to construct YSPILs based on Z67@PDA with tunable core sizes and morphologies. Benefiting from the unique hierarchical yolk-shell structure, as-prepared YSPILs exhibit promise in C3H6/C3H8 capture and separation with the increased sizes of core in yolk-shell ZIF-67@PDA. Advanced YS-MOF liquids have improved the adsorption properties and increased our ability to tailor chemical composition and pore architecture. Impressively, the adsorption capacity of C3H6 and C3H8 of YSPILs exhibits an approximately 3-fold enhancement compared with that of the neat ILs, confirming that the accessible porosities are retained. Effective C3H6/C3H8 separation performance of YSPILs over PILs based on ZIF-67, revealing the hierarchical porosity of YS-Z67@PDA liquids, benefits larger-size gas separation. Therefore, we believe that this work can not only help us to rationally design novel hierarchically porous ionic liquids but also promote candidate applications in large-size species separation, catalysis, and nanoreactors.

Abstract
Permanent macropores (>50 nm) had not been reported in the liquid state until a recent report by Tao Li and co-workers describing a synthetic strategy to form a porous liquid with dual micro-macroporosity. This is prepared by producing hierarchically porous particles that are surface coated and fluidised by dispersion. Surface micropores enable permanent porosity by steric exclusion of the fluid phase. The material has a considerable water uptake capacity (27 % w/w) due to large (480 nm) unoccupied macropores. This also enables switching of thermal conductivity on uptake of water. These are new properties translated from porous solids to the liquid state.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI), a prevalent and fatal adverse event, seriously affects cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. The most important pathological mechanism of AKI is oxidative stress from reactive oxygen species (ROS). Currently, ROS scavenging is a promising strategy to manage the risk of chemotherapy-induced AKI. Herein, we successfully synthesized SOD@ZIF-8 nanoparticles by biomimetic mineralization, which were taken up by cells and could improve cell viability by limiting oxidative stress damage, as found in in vitro studies. Moreover, SOD@ZIF-8 nanoparticles exhibit broad-spectrum antioxidant properties in addition to significant renal accumulation in AKI mice, preventing clinically related cisplatin-induced AKI in murine models. AKI alleviation in the model was validated by measuring blood serum, staining kidney tissue, and related biomarkers. SOD@ZIF-8 nanoparticle therapeutic efficiency exceeds NAC, a small molecular antioxidant functioning through free radical scavenging. The results suggest SOD@ZIF-8 nanoparticles as a potential therapeutic option for AKI and other ROS-related disorders.

Abstract
Membrane separation technology is considered an effective strategy to remove pollutants in sewage. However, it remains a significant challenge to fabricate inexpensive membranes with high purification efficiency. Therefore, the present study proposes the integration of silk nanofibrils (SNFs) and polydopamine⊂metal-organic framework (PDA⊂MOF) nanoparticles to prepare self-supporting membranes, which can effectively intercept nanoparticle pollutants through the size exclusion effect and can strongly adsorb organic dyes and metal ions by SNF. In addition, PDA⊂MOF enables these membranes to adsorb small molecules and heavy metal ions during the filtration process, thereby effectively removing various pollutants from sewage. The integration of size-exclusion and adsorption capabilities enables the SNF/PDA⊂MOF membrane to remove nanoparticles, small-molecule dyes, heavy metal ions, and radioactive elements. This work provides a rational approach for the design and development of the next generation of water treatment membranes and is expected to be used in environmental, food-related, and biomedical fields.

Abstract
Facile approaches capable of constructing stable and structurally diverse porous liquids (PLs) that can deliver high-performance applications are a long-standing, captivating, and challenging research area that requires significant attention. Herein, a facile surface deposition strategy is demonstrated to afford diverse type III-PLs possessing ultra-stable dispersion, external structure modification, and enhanced performance in gas storage and transformation by leveraging the expeditious and uniform precipitation of selected metal salts. The Ag(I) species-modified zeolite nanosheets are deployed as the porous host to construct type III-PLs with ionic liquids (ILs) containing bromide anion , leading to stable dispersion driven by the formation of AgBr nanoparticles. The as-afforded type-III PLs display promising performance in CO2 capture/conversion and ethylene/ethane separation. Property and performance of the as-produced PLs can be tuned by the cation structure of the ILs, which can be harnessed to achieve polarity reversal of the porous host via ionic exchange. The surface deposition procedure can be further extended to produce PLs from Ba(II)-functionalized zeolite and ILs containing [SO4 ]2- anion driven by the formation of BaSO4 salts. The as-produced PLs are featured by well-maintained crystallinity of the porous host, good fluidity and stability, enhanced gas uptake capacity, and attractive performance in small gas molecule utilization.

Abstract
Responsive metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that display sigmoidal gas sorption isotherms triggered by discrete gas pressure-induced structural transformations are highly promising materials for energy related applications. However, their lack of transportability via continuous flow hinders their application in systems and designs that rely on liquid agents. We herein present examples of responsive liquid systems which exhibit a breathing behaviour and show step-shaped gas sorption isotherms, akin to the distinct oxygen saturation curve of haemoglobin in blood. Dispersions of flexible MOF nanocrystals in a size-excluded silicone oil form stable porous liquids exhibiting gated uptake for CO2, propane and propylene, as characterized by sigmoidal gas sorption isotherms with distinct transition steps. In situ X-ray diffraction studies show that the sigmoidal gas sorption curve is caused by a narrow pore to large pore phase transformation of the flexible MOF nanocrystals, which respond to gas pressure despite being dispersed in silicone oil. Given the established flexible nature and tunability of a range of MOFs, these results herald the advent of breathing porous liquids whose sorption properties can be tuned rationally for a variety of technological applications.

Abstract
Porous liquids are fluids with the permanent porosity, which can overcome the poor gas solubility limitations of conventional porous solid materials for three phase gas-liquid-solid reactions. However, preparation of porous liquids still requires the complicated and tedious use of porous hosts and bulky liquids. Herein, we develop a facile method to produce a porous metal-organic cage (MOC) liquid (Im-PL-Cage) by self-assembly of long polyethylene glycol (PEG)-imidazolium chain functional linkers, calixarene molecules and Zn ions. The Im-PL-Cage in neat liquid has permanent porosity and fluidity, endowing it with a high capacity of CO2 adsorption. Thus, the CO2 stored in an Im-PL-Cage can be efficiently converted to the value-added formylation product in the atmosphere, which far exceeds the porous MOC solid and nonporous PEG-imidazolium counterparts.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF)-based membranes, featuring potential molecular sieving effects and therefore capable of surmounting the ubiquitous trade-off between membrane selectivity and permeability, hold great promise for multitudinous chemical separations. Nevertheless, it remains highly challenging for the large-area fabrication of ultrathin MOF membranes with variable thickness, great homogeneity, and preferential orientation. Herein, this work reports the facile fabrication of ultrathin (down to 20 nm) NUS-8 membranes in large-area (>200 cm2 ) yet with great homogeneity and texture along (00l) direction due to the superior solution processability of the as-synthesized NUS-8 nanosheets. The resultant NUS-8 membranes with good adhesion properties and certain flexibility exhibit excellent rejections (>98% for Mg2+ and Al3+ , and dyes with molecular weights larger than 585.5 g mol-1 ) toward aqueous separation of various metal ions and dyes at modest permeance (1-3.2 L m-2 h-1 bar-1 ) due to the well-aligned structures. Such separation performance outstands among polymetric membranes, thin-film composite membranes, mixed matrix membranes, and other MOF membranes reported in the literature. The separation mechanism is reasonably discussed based on the experimental and theoretical results. This study opens up novel perspectives for preparing ultrathin and large-area MOF membranes using the solution processability of MOFs.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous hybrid materials with countless potential applications. Most of these rely on their porous structure, tunable composition, and the possibility of incorporating and expanding their functions. Although functionalization of the inner surface of MOF crystals has received considerable attention in recent years, methods to functionalize selectively the outer crystal surface of MOFs are developed to a lesser extent, despite their importance. This article summarizes different types of post-synthetic modifications and possible applications of modified materials such as: catalysis, adsorption, drug delivery, mixed matrix membranes, and stabilization of porous liquids.

Abstract
Different from traditional procedures of using solid stabilizers like polymers and surfactants, here we demonstrate that water, as a very "soft" matter, could function as a "spacer" to prevent the aggregation of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in aqueous dispersions. Our theoretical calculations reveal in case of an excess of positively charged metal nodes of MOFs, where water molecules are ligated to metal nodes that greatly enhance MOFs' solution dispersibility through electrostatic stabilization. This discovery has motivated us to develop a facile experimental approach for producing a category of "clean" MOF dispersions without foreign additives. Potential application has been demonstrated for the size fractionation of MOFs, which results in small-size MOFs (50-80 nm) characteristic of superior electrocatalytic oxygen evolution activities (256 mV at 10 mA cm-2, Tafel slope of 49 mV dec-1 and durability >30 h). This work would provide new clues for aqueous processing of MOFs for many emerging applications.

Abstract
ConspectusCompositing MOFs with polymers brings out the best properties of both worlds. The solubility and excellent mechanical properties of polymers endow the brittle, powdery MOFs with enhanced processability, thereby enriching their functions as solid sorbents, filters, membranes, catalysts, drug delivery vehicles, and so forth. While most MOF-polymer composites are random mixtures of two materials with little control over their fine structures, MOF@polymer core-shell particles have recently emerged as a new platform for precise composite design. The well-defined polymer coating can keep the rich pore characteristics of the MOF intact while furnishing the MOF with new properties such as improved dispersibility in various media, tunable surface energy, enhanced chemical stability, and regulated guest diffusion. Nevertheless, the structural and chemical complexity of MOFs poses a grand challenge to the development of a generalizable and feasible strategy for constructing MOF@polymer. Examples in the literature that showcase the presence of a well-defined polymer shell on the MOF with fully reserved porosity are rare. Moreover, methods for coating MOFs with condensation polymers (e.g., polyimide, polysulfone) are severely underexplored, despite their clear potential as membrane materials. In this Account, we present our group's effort over the past 4 years on the synthesis and applications of MOF@polymer composites. We first described a highly generalizable surface polymerization method that utilizes the rapid physisorption of a random copolymer (RCP) to carry initiating groups to the MOF surfaces. Subsequent controlled radical polymerization led to the formation of a uniform methacrylate or styrenic polymer on the MOF with tunable thickness and composition. To utilize the properties of condensation polymers, we pioneered the covalent grafting of polyimide (PI) brushes to UiO-66-NH2 surfaces. In addition, to circumvent the need for a covalent anchoring group, we further developed an MOF surface grafting method based on mechanical linkage. Instead of connecting to the ligand, polyimide (PI) oligomer was linked to a functionalized linear polymer physically entangled within an MOF, thus realizing surface grafting with PI. Alternatively, PIs, polysulfone (PSF), and polycarbonate (PC) can also be grafted to various MOF surfaces through a metal-organic nanocapsule (MONC)-mediated method using a combination of electrostatic interaction and coordination bonds. To find a rapid and low-cost surface coating method suitable for commercialization, a new approach called non-solvent-induced surface-aimed deposition (NISAP) was developed. The action of the solvent phase separation drives dianhydrides and polyamines to the MOF surface, thus realizing accelerated polymerization and the rapid formation of a polymer coating on the MOF. Finally, we provided an overview of the unique properties and potential applications of MOF@polymer composites, including improved stability, MMMs, porous liquids (PLs), and immobilizing homogeneous catalysts. We hope that this Account can inspire more researchers to further develop and optimize the synthetic strategies for MOF@polymer and uncover its full application potential.

Abstract
A carbon nanosphere nanofluid (CNS-nanofluid) was successfully prepared through the non-covalent modification of carbon nanosphere (CNS) with the specific ionic liquid (i.e. [M2070][VBS]) at first. The resulting CNS-nanofluid is a homogeneous and stable fluid with liquid-like behaviour at room temperature, and which shows better dispersion stability in its good solvents and improved processability than the pristine CNS. Subsequently, this CNS-nanofluid was used as a kind of novel functional filler and incorporated into epoxy matrix to prepare the CNS-nanofluid filled epoxy composites (CNS-nanofluid/EP composites). The toughness and thermal properties of those CNS-nanofluid/EP composites were carefully characterized and analysed. And it was found that this CNS-nanofluid could respectively improve the impact toughness and glass transition temperature of the CNS-nanofluid/EP composites to 19.8 kJ m-2and 122.5 °C at the optimum amount, demonstrating that this CNS-nanofluid is a kind of promising functional filler to achieve robust epoxy composites, and thus opening up new possibilities with great significance for epoxy composites in high-performance applications.

Abstract
The possibility of creating well-controlled empty space within liquids is conceptually intriguing, and from an application perspective, full of potential. Since the concept of porous liquids (PLs) arose several years ago, research efforts in this field have intensified. This review highlights the design, synthesis, and applicability of PLs through a thorough examination of the current state-of-the-art. Following a detailed examination of the fundamentals of PLs, we examine the different synthetic approaches proposed to date, discuss the nature of PLs, and their pathway from the laboratory to practical application. Finally, possible challenges and opportunities are outlined.

Abstract
It is increasingly apparent that porous liquids (PLs) have unique use cases due to the combination of ready liquid handling and their inherently high adsorption capacity. Among the PL types, those with permanent porosity are the most promising. Although Type II and III PLs have economic synthetic methods and can be made from a huge variety of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and solvents, these nanocomposites still need to be stable to be useful. This work aims to systematically explore the possibilities of creating PLs using different MOF modification methods. This delivered underpinning insights into the molecular-level influence between solvent and MOF on the overall nanocomposite stability. Zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks were combined with two different solvents of varying chemistry to deliver CO2 sorption capacities as high as 2.9 mmol g-1 at 10 bar. The results of the study could have far-reaching ramifications for future investigations in the PL field.

Abstract
The development of microporosity in the liquid state is leading to an inherent change in the way we approach applications of functional porosity, potentially allowing access to new processes by exploiting the fluidity of these new materials. By engineering permanent porosity into a liquid, over the transient intermolecular porosity in all liquids, it is possible to design and form a porous liquid. Since the concept was proposed in 2007, and the first examples realised in 2015, the field has seen rapid advances among the types and numbers of porous liquids developed, our understanding of the structure and properties, as well as improvements in gas uptake and molecular separations. However, despite these recent advances, the field is still young, and with only a few applications reported to date, the potential that porous liquids have to transform the field of microporous materials remains largely untapped. In this review, we will explore the theory and conception of porous liquids and cover major advances in the area, key experimental characterisation techniques and computational approaches that have been employed to understand these systems, and summarise the investigated applications of porous liquids that have been presented to date. We also outline an emerging discovery workflow with recommendations for the characterisation required at each stage to both confirm permanent porosity and fully understand the physical properties of the porous liquid.

Abstract
Porous liquids with chemical separation properties are quite well-studied in general, but there is only a handful of reports in the context of identification and separation of non-gaseous molecules. Herein, we report a Type II porous ionic liquid composed of coordination cages that exhibits exceptional selectivity towards l-tryptophan (l-Trp) over other aromatic amino acids. A previously known class of anionic organic–inorganic hybrid doughnut-like cage (HD) is dissolved in trihexyltetradecylphosphonium chloride (THTP_Cl). The resulting liquid, HD/THTP_Cl, is thereby composed of common components, facile to prepare, and exhibit room temperature fluidity. The permanent porosity is manifested by the high-pressure isotherm for CH4 and modeling studies. With evidence from time-dependent amino acid uptake, competitive extraction studies and molecular dynamic simulations, HD/THTP_Cl exhibit better selectivity towards l-Trp than other solid state sorbents, and we attribute it to not only the intrinsic porosity of HD but also the host-guest interactions between HD and l-Trp. Specifically, each HD unit is filled with nearly 5 l-Trp molecules, which is higher than the l-Trp occupation in the structure unit of other benchmark metal-organic frameworks. Porous liquids are potentially useful materials for the identification and separation of non-gaseous compounds. Herein, the authors report a type II porous ionic liquid with permanent porosity and high selectivity towards l-tryptophan (l-Trp) over other aromatic amino acids.

Abstract
The development of capacitive pressure sensors with low cost, high sensitivity and facile fabrication techniques is desirable for flexible electronics and wearable devices. In this project, a highly sensitive and flexible capacitive pressure sensor was fabricated by sandwiching a porous PAP sponge dielectric layer between two copper electrodes. The porous PAP sponge dielectric layer was fabricated by introducing highly conductive silver nanowires (AgNWs) into the PDMS sponge with 100% sucrose as a template and with a layer of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) film coating the surface. The sensitivity of the PAP sponge capacitive pressure sensor was optimized by increasing the load amount of AgNWs. Experimental results demonstrated that when the load amount of AgNWs increased to 150 mg in the PAP sponge, the sensitivity of the sensor was the highest in the low-pressure range of 0–1 kPa, reaching 0.62 kPa−1. At this point, the tensile strength and elongation of sponge were 1.425 MPa and 156.38%, respectively. In addition, the specific surface area of PAP sponge reached 2.0 cm2/g in the range of 0–10 nm pore size, and showed excellent waterproof performance with high elasticity, low hysteresis, light weight, and low density. Furthermore, as an application demonstration, ~110 LED lights were shown to light up when pressed onto the optimized sensor. Hence, this novel porous PAP-sponge-based capacitive pressure sensor has a wide range of potential applications in the field of wearable electronics.

Abstract
Porous Liquids (PLs) are a new class of material that possess both fluidity and permanent porosity. As such they can act as enhanced, selective solvents and may ultimately find applications which are not possible for porous solids, such as continuous flow separation processes. Type II PLs consist of empty molecular hosts dissolved in size-excluded solvents and to date have mainly been based on hosts that have limited chemical and thermal stability. Here we identify Noria, a rigid cyclic oligomer as a new host for the synthesis of more robust Type II PLs. Although the structure of Noria is well-documented, we find that literature has overlooked the true composition of bulk Noria samples. We find that bulk samples typically consist of Noria (ca. 40%), a Noria isomer, specifically a resorcinarene trimer, “R3” (ca. 30%) and other unidentified oligomers (ca. 30%). Noria has been characterised crystallographically as a diethyl ether solvate and its 1H NMR spectrum fully assigned for the first time. The previously postulated but unreported R3 has also been characterised crystallographically as a dimethyl sulfoxide solvate, which confirms its alternative connectivity to Noria. Noria and R3 have low solubility which precludes their use in Type II PLs, however, the partially ethylated derivative Noria-OEt dissolves in the size-excluded solvent 15-crown-5 to give a new Type II PL. This PL exhibits enhanced uptake of methane (CH4) gas supporting the presence of empty pores in the liquid. Detailed molecular dynamics simulations support the existence of pores in the liquid and show that occupation of the pores by CH4 is favoured. Overall, this work revises the general accepted composition of bulk Noria samples and shows that Noria derivatives are appropriate for the synthesis of more robust Type II PLs. Porous Liquids (PLs) are a new class of material that possess both fluidity and permanent porosity. Here we identify Noria, a rigid cyclic oligomer as a new host for the synthesis of more robust Type II PLs.![]()

Abstract
Permanent pores combined with fluidity renders flow processability to porous liquids otherwise not seen in porous solids. Although porous liquids have been utilized for sequestration of different gases and their separation, there is still a dearth of studies for deploying in situ chemical reactions to convert adsorbed gases into utility chemicals. Here, we show the design and development of a new type of solvent-less and hybrid (meso-)porous liquid composite, which, as demonstrated for the first time, can be used for in situ carbon mineralization of adsorbed CO2 . The recyclable porous liquid composite comprising polymer-surfactant modified hollow silica nanorods and carbonic anhydrase enzyme not only sequesters (5.5 cm3 g-1 at 273 K and 1 atm) and stores CO2 but is also capable of driving an in situ enzymatic reaction for hydration of CO2 to HCO3 - ion, subsequently converting it to CaCO3 due to reaction with pre-dissolved Ca2+ . Light and electron microscopy combined with X-ray diffraction reveals the nucleation and growth of calcite and aragonite crystals. Moreover, the liquid-like property of the porous composite material can be harnessed by executing the same reaction via diffusion of complimentary Ca2+ and HCO3 - ions through different compartments separated by an interfacial channel. These studies provide a proof of concept of deploying chemical reactions within porous liquids for developing utility chemical from adsorbed molecules.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) intrinsically lack fluidity and thus solution processability. Direct synthesis of MOFs exhibiting solution processability like polymers remains challenging but highly sought-after for multitudinous applications. Herein, a one-pot, surfactant-free, and scalable synthesis of highly stable MOF suspensions composed of exceptionally large (average area > 15 000 µm2 ) NUS-8 nanosheets with variable functionalities and excellent solution processability is presented. This is achieved by adding capping molecules during the synthesis, and by judicious controls of precursor concentration and MOF nanosheet-solvent interactions. The resulting 2D NUS-8 nanosheets with variable functionalities exhibit excellent solution processability. As such, relevant monoliths, aero- and xerogels, and large-area textured films with a great homogeneity, controllable thickness, and appreciable mechanical properties can be facilely fabricated. Additionally, from both the molecular- and chip-level it is demonstrated that capacitive sensors integrated with NUS-8 films functionalized with different terminal groups exhibit distinguishable sensing behaviors toward acetone due to their disparate host-guest interactions. It is envisioned that this simple approach will greatly facilitate the integration of MOFs in miniaturized electronic devices and benefit their mass production.

Abstract
A simple one-step approach that only uses commercially available small-molecule reagents was developed for the construction of metal-organic framework (MOF)@polymer core-shell composite particles. Here, the MOF particles were incorporated into a typical reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) polymerization solution containing a solvent, a chain-transfer agent, an initiator, and a monomer mixture with at least one hydrogen-bond-donating monomer such as 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate or acrylic acid. The elongation of polymer chains during polymerization gradually increases MOF/polymer interfacial interaction and eventually results in the adsorption of a random copolymer onto the MOF surface through hydrogen-bond cross-linking and MOF/polymer interfacial interaction. The continuous growth of the polymer leads to a uniform polymer coating on the MOF. Benefiting from the tacky polymer surface, these well-defined MOF@polymer composite particles can be further assembled into highly ordered monolayer composite thin films either alone or with an additional polymer matrix through the Langmuir-Blodgett technique.

Abstract
The surfactant template-directed solvothermal method was applied in the synthesis of hierarchical mesoporous zinc-imidazolate derivative metal-organic framework (mesoMOF), which was then utilized for active loading of cisplatin (cis-Pt). To fabricate mesoMOF, various amounts of the surfactant (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide: 0.1-0.3 g) and linker (citric acid: 0.05-0.15 g) were added to the reaction mixture, which resulted in different particle sizes and morphologies. MesoMOF quality attributes such as Specific surface area (SSA), total porous volume, and Barrett-Joyner-Halenda (BJH) pore diameter were also determined. At the optimum reaction condition, mesoMOF with a high surface area (1859 m2/g), pore diameter (14.13 nm) and total pore volume (0.314 cm3/g) was attained. In the next step, cis-Pt was actively loaded in the mesoMOF with a high loading capacity (28% w/w), which was remarkably superior to the microporous MOF. Interestingly, in mildly acidic pH (5.5), mesoMOF underwent degradation, resulting in a rapid release of cis-Pt. Cell viability and apoptosis induction assays confirmed the superiority of the cis-Pt loaded mesoMOF over free drug in a resistant ovarian tumor cell line (A2780cp). Altogether, due to their tunable size and morphology, pH-responsiveness, and acceptable tolerability in mice, the mesoMOFs can be regarded as an anti-cancer drug delivery system.

Abstract
The possibility of engineering well-defined pores into liquid materials is fascinating from both a conceptual and an applications point of view. Although the concept of porous liquids was proposed in 2007, these materials had remained hypothetical due to the technical challenges associated with their synthesis. Over the past five years, however, reports of the successful construction of porous liquids based on existing porous scaffolds, such as coordination cages, organic cages, metal-organic frameworks, porous carbons, zeolites, and porous polymers, have started to emerge. Here, the focus is on these early reports of porous liquids as prototypes in the field, classified according to the previously defined types of porous liquids. Particular attention will be paid to design strategies and structure-property relationships. Porous liquids have already exhibited promising applications in gas storage, transportation, and chemical separations. Thus, they show great potential for use in the chemical industry. The challenges of preparation, scale-up, volatility, thermal and chemical stability, and competition with porous solids will also be discussed.
