Abstract
Here we describe the synthesis of a compositional series of metal-organic framework crystalline-inorganic glass composites (MOF-CIGCs) containing ZIF-8 and an inorganic phosphate glass, 20Na2O-10NaCl-70P2O5, to expand the library of host matrices for metal-organic frameworks. By careful selection of the inorganic glass component, a relatively high loading of ZIF-8 (70 wt%) was achieved, which is the active component of the composite. A Zn⋯O-P interfacial bond, previously identified in similar composites/hybrid blends, was suggested by analysis of the total scattering pair distribution function data. Additionally, CO2 and N2 sorption and variable-temperature PXRD experiments were performed to assess the composites' properties.

Abstract
Environmental pollution caused by organic effluents emitted by industry has become a worldwide issue and poses a serious threat to the public and the ecosystem. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), comprising metal-containing clusters and organic bridging ligands, are porous and crystalline materials, possessing fascinating shape and size-dependent properties such as high surface area, abundant active sites, well-defined crystal morphologies, and huge potential for surface functionalization. To date, numerous well designated MOFs have emerged as critical functional materials to solve the growing challenges associated with water environmental issues. Here we present the recent progress of MOF-based materials and their applications in the treatment of organic effluents. Firstly, several traditional and emerging synthesis strategies for MOF composites are introduced. Then, the structural and functional regulations of MOF composites are presented and analyzed. Finally, typical applications of MOF-based materials in treating organic effluents, including chemical, pharmaceutical, textile, and agricultural wastewaters are summarized. Overall, this review is anticipated to tailor design and regulation of MOF-based functional materials for boosting the performance of organic effluent remediation.

Improved ACOM pattern matching in 4D-STEM through adaptive sub-pixel peak detection and image reconstruction. Sci Rep 2024; 14:12385. [PMID: 38811806 PMCID: PMC11137144 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-63060-5] [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: 12/09/2023] [Accepted: 05/24/2024] [Indexed: 05/31/2024] Open
Abstract
The technique known as 4D-STEM has recently emerged as a powerful tool for the local characterization of crystalline structures in materials, such as cathode materials for Li-ion batteries or perovskite materials for photovoltaics. However, the use of new detectors optimized for electron diffraction patterns and other advanced techniques requires constant adaptation of methodologies to address the challenges associated with crystalline materials. In this study, we present a novel image-processing method to improve pattern matching in the determination of crystalline orientations and phases. Our approach uses sub-pixel adaptive image processing to register and reconstruct electron diffraction signals in large 4D-STEM datasets. By using adaptive prominence and linear filters, we can improve the quality of the diffraction pattern registration. The resulting data compression rate of 103 is well-suited for the era of big data and provides a significant enhancement in the performance of the entire ACOM data processing method. Our approach is evaluated using dedicated metrics, which demonstrate a high improvement in phase recognition. Several features are extracted from the registered data to map properties such as the spot count, and various virtual dark fields, which are used to enhance the handling of the results maps. Our results demonstrate that this data preparation method not only enhances the quality of the resulting image but also boosts the confidence level in the analysis of the outcomes related to determining crystal orientation and phase. Additionally, it mitigates the impact of user bias that may occur during the application of the method through the manipulation of parameters.

Abstract
By combining the porosity of crystalline metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with the unique processability of the liquid state, melt-quenched MOF glasses offer exciting opportunities for molecular separation. However, progress in this field is limited by two factors. Firstly, only very few MOFs melt at elevated temperatures and transform into stable glasses upon cooling the corresponding MOF liquid. Secondly, the MOF glasses obtained thus far feature only very small porosities and very small pore sizes. Here, we demonstrate solvent-assisted linker exchange (SALE) as a versatile method to prepare highly porous melt-quenched MOF glasses from the canonical ZIF-8. Two additional organic linkers are incorporated into the non-meltable ZIF-8, yielding high-entropy, linker-exchanged ZIF-8 derivatives undergoing crystal-to-liquid-to-glass phase transitions by thermal treatment. The ZIF-8 glasses demonstrate specific pore volumes of about 0.2 cm3g-1, adsorb large amounts of technologically relevant C3 and C4 hydrocarbons, and feature high kinetic sorption selectivities for the separation of propylene from propane.

Abstract
The membrane process stands as a promising and transformative technology for efficient gas separation due to its high energy efficiency, operational simplicity, low environmental impact, and easy up-and-down scaling. Metal-organic framework (MOF)-polymer mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) combine MOFs' superior gas-separation performance with polymers' processing versatility, offering the opportunity to address the limitations of pure polymer or inorganic membranes for large-scale integration. However, the incompatibility between the rigid MOFs and flexible polymer chains poses a challenge in MOF MMM fabrication, which can cause issues such as MOF agglomeration, sedimentation, and interfacial defects, substantially weakening membrane separation efficiency and mechanical properties, particularly gas separation. This review focuses on engineering MMMs' interfaces, detailing recent strategies for reducing interfacial defects, improving MOF dispersion, and enhancing MOF loading. Advanced characterisation techniques for understanding membrane properties, specifically the MOF-polymer interface, are outlined. Lastly, it explores the remaining challenges in MMM research and outlines potential future research directions.

Abstract
The phenomenon of melting in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has recently garnered attention. Crystalline MOF materials can be transformed into an amorphous glassy state through melt-quenching treatment. The resulting MOF glass structure eliminates grain boundaries and retains short-range order while exhibiting long-range disorder. Based on these properties, it emerges as a promising candidate for high-performance separation membranes. MOF glass membranes exhibit permanent and accessible porosity, allowing for selective adsorption of different gas species. This review summarizes the melting mechanism of MOFs and explores the impact of ligands and metal ions on glassy MOFs. Additionally, it presents an analysis of the diverse classes of MOF glass composites, outlining their structures and properties, which are conducive to gas adsorption and separation. The absence of inter-crystalline defects in the structures, coupled with their distinctive mechanical properties, renders them highly promising for industrial gas separation applications. Furthermore, this review provides a summary of recent research on MOF glass composite membranes for gas adsorption and separation. It also addresses the challenges associated with membrane production and suggests future research directions.

Abstract
Water is one of the most reactive and abundant molecules on Earth, and it is thus crucial to understand its reactivity with various material families. One of the big unknown questions is how water in liquid and vapor forms impact the fast-emerging class of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Here, we discover that high-pressure water vapor drastically modifies the structure and hence the dynamic, thermodynamic, and mechanical properties of MOF glasses. In detail, we find that an archetypical MOF (ZIF-62) is extremely sensitive to heat treatments performed at 460 °C and water vapor pressures up to ∼110 bar. Both the melting and glass transition temperatures decrease remarkably (by >100 °C), and simultaneously, hardness and Young's modulus increase by up to 100% under very mild treatment conditions (<20 bar of hydrothermal pressure). Structural analyses suggest water to partially coordinate to Zn in the form of a hydroxide ion by replacing a bridging imidazolate-based linker. The work provides insight into the role of hot-compressed water in influencing the structure and properties of MOF glasses and opens a new route for systematically changing the thermodynamics and kinetics of MOF liquids and thus altering the thermal and mechanical properties of the resulting MOF glasses.

Abstract
Although carboxylate-based frameworks are commonly used architectures in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), liquid/glass MOFs have thus far mainly been obtained from azole- or weakly coordinating ligand-based frameworks. This is because strong coordination bonds of carboxylate ligands to metals block the thermal vitrification pathways of carboxylate-based MOFs. In this study, we present the example of carboxylate-based melt-quenched MOF glasses comprising Mg2+ or Mn2+ with an aliphatic carboxylate ligand, adipate. These MOFs have a low melting temperature (Tm) of 284 °C and 238 °C, respectively, compared to zeolitic-imidazolate framework (ZIF) glasses, and superior mechanical properties in terms of hardness and elastic modulus. The low Tm may be attributed to the flexibility and low symmetry of the aliphatic carboxylate ligand, which raises the entropy of fusion (ΔSfus), and the lack of crystal field stabilization energy on metal ions, reducing enthalpy of fusion (ΔHfus). This research will serve as a cornerstone for the integration of numerous carboxylate-based MOFs into MOF glasses.

Abstract
Zero-dimensional (0D) hybrid metal halide (HMH) glasses are emerging luminescent materials and have gained attention due to their transparent character and ease of processing. However, the weakening of photoluminescence quantum efficiency from crystal to glass phases poses limitations for photonics applications. Here we develop high-performance glass-ceramic (G-C) scintillators via in situ recrystallization from 0D HMH glass counterparts composed of distinct organic cations and inorganic anions. The G-C scintillators maintain excellent transparency and exhibit nearly 10-fold higher light yields and lower detection limits than those of glassy phases. The general in situ recrystallization within the glass component by a facile heat treatment is analyzed via combined experimental elaboration and structural/spectral characterization. Our results on the development of G-Cs can initiate more exploration on the phase transformation engineering in 0D HMHs, and therefore make them highly promising for large-area scintillation screen applications.

Abstract
The interface within a composite is critically important for the chemical and physical properties of these materials. However, experimental structural studies of the interfacial regions within metal-organic framework (MOF) composites are extremely challenging. Here, we provide the first example of a new MOF composite family, i.e., using an inorganic glass matrix host in place of the commonly used organic polymers. Crucially, we also decipher atom-atom interactions at the interface. In particular, we dispersed a zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) within a phosphate glass matrix and identified interactions at the interface using several different analysis methods of pair distribution function and multinuclear multidimensional magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. These demonstrated glass-ZIF atom-atom correlations. Additionally, carbon dioxide uptake and stability tests were also performed to check the increment of the surface area and the stability and durability of the material in different media. This opens up possibilities for creating new composites that include the intrinsic chemical properties of the constituent MOFs and inorganic glasses.

Abstract
Materials with disordered structures may exhibit interesting properties. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of hybrid materials composed of metal nodes and coordinating organic linkers. Recently, there has been growing interest in MOFs with structural disorder and the investigations of amorphous structures on surfaces. Herein, we demonstrate a bottom-up method to construct disordered molecular networks on metal surfaces by selecting two organic molecule linkers with the same symmetry but different sizes for preparing two-component samples with different stoichiometric ratios. The amorphous networks are directly imaged by scanning tunneling microscopy under ultrahigh vacuum with a submolecular resolution, allowing us to quantify its degree of disorder and other structural properties. Furthermore, we resort to molecular dynamics simulations to understand the formation of the amorphous metal-organic networks. The results may advance our understanding of the mechanism of formation of monolayer molecular networks with structural disorders, facilitating the design and exploration of amorphous MOF materials with intriguing properties.

Abstract
Lead mixed-halide perovskites offer tunable bandgaps for optoelectronic applications, but illumination-induced phase segregation can quickly lead to changes in their crystal structure, bandgaps, and optoelectronic properties, especially for the Br-I mixed system because CsPbI3 tends to form a non-perovskite phase under ambient conditions. These behaviors can impact their performance in practical applications. By embedding such mixed-halide perovskites in a glassy metal-organic framework, a family of stable nanocomposites with tunable emission is created. Combining cathodoluminescence with elemental mapping under a transmission electron microscope, this research identifies a direct relationship between the halide composition and emission energy at the nanoscale. The composite effectively inhibits halide ion migration, and consequently, phase segregation even under high-energy illumination. The detailed mechanism, studied using a combination of spectroscopic characterizations and theoretical modeling, shows that the interfacial binding, instead of the nanoconfinement effect, is the main contributor to the inhibition of phase segregation. These findings pave the way to suppress the phase segregation in mixed-halide perovskites toward stable and high-performance optoelectronics.

Abstract
Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are an important subclass of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Recently, we reported a new kind of MOF, namely tetrahedral imidazolate frameworks with auxiliary ligands (TIF-Ax), by adding linear ligands (Hint) into the zinc-imidazolate system. Introducing linear ligands into the M2+-imidazolate system overcomes the limitation of imidazole derivatives. Thanks to the synergistic effect of two different types of ligands, a series of new TIF-Ax with interesting topologies and a special pore environment has been reported, and they have attracted extensive attention in gas adsorption, separation, catalysis, heavy metal ion capture, and so on. In this review, we give a comprehensive overview of TIF-Ax, including their synthesis methods, structural diversity, and multi-field applications. Finally, we also discuss the challenges and perspectives of the rational design and syntheses of new TIF-Ax from the aspects of their composition, solvent, and template. This review provides deep insight into TIF-Ax and a reference for scholars with backgrounds of porous materials, gas separation, and catalysis.

Abstract
The melting phenomenon in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has been recognised as one of the fourth generation MOF paradigm behaviours. Molten MOFs have high processibility for producing mechanically robust glassy MOF macrostructures, and they also offer highly tunable interfacial characteristics when combined with other types of functional materials, such as crystalline MOFs, inorganic glass and metal halide perovskites. As a result, MOF glass composites have emerged as a family of functional materials with dynamic properties and hierarchical structural control. These nanocomposites allow for sophisticated materials science studies as well as the fabrication of next-generation separation, catalysis, optical, and biomedical devices. Here, we review the approaches for designing, fabricating, and characterising MOF glass composites. We determine the key application opportunities enabled by these composites and explore the remaining hurdles, such as improving thermal and chemical compatibility, regulating interfacial properties, and scalability.

Abstract
Traditional metal-organic-frameworks (MOFs) have been extensively studied and applied in various fields across chemistry, biology and engineering in the past decades. Recently, a family of emerging MOF liquids and glasses have gained ever-growing research interests owing to their fascinating phase transitions and unique functions. To date, a growing number of MOF crystals have been found to be capable of transforming into liquid and glassy states under external stimuli, which overcomes the limitations of MOF crystals by introducing functional disorder in a controlled manner and offering some desirable properties. This review is dedicated to compiling recent advances in the fundamental understanding of the phase and structure evolution during crystal melting and glass formation in order to give insights into the underlying conversion mechanism. Benefiting from the disordered metal-ligand arrangement and free grain boundaries, various functional properties of liquid and glassy MOFs including porosity, ionic conductivity, and optical/mechanical properties are summarized and evaluated in detail, accompanied by the structure-property correlation. At the same time, their potential applications are further assessed from a developmental perspective according to their unique functions. Finally, we summarize the current progress in the development of liquid/glassy MOFs and point out the serious challenges as well as the potential solutions. This work provides perspectives on the functional applications of liquid/glassy MOFs and highlights the future research directions for the advancement of MOF liquids and glasses.

Abstract
Intentionally disordered metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) display rich functional behaviour. However, the characterisation of their atomic structures remains incredibly challenging. X-ray pair distribution function techniques have been pivotal in determining their average local structure but are largely insensitive to spatial variations in the structure. Fe-BTC (BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate) is a nanocomposite MOF, known for its catalytic properties, comprising crystalline nanoparticles and an amorphous matrix. Here, we use scanning electron diffraction to first map the crystalline and amorphous components to evaluate domain size and then to carry out electron pair distribution function analysis to probe the spatially separated atomic structure of the amorphous matrix. Further Bragg scattering analysis reveals systematic orientational disorder within Fe-BTC's nanocrystallites, showing over 10° of continuous lattice rotation across single particles. Finally, we identify candidate unit cells for the crystalline component. These independent structural analyses quantify disorder in Fe-BTC at the critical length scale for engineering composite MOF materials.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) glasses, a new type of melt-quenched glass, show great promise to deal with the alleviation of greenhouse effects, energy storage and conversion. However, the mechanical behavior of MOF glasses, which is of critical importance given the need for long-term stability, is not well understood. Using both micro- and nanoscale loadings, we find that pillars of a zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) glass have a compressive strength falling within the theoretical strength limit of ≥E/10, a value which is thought to be unreachable in amorphous materials. Pillars with a diameter larger than 500 nm exhibited brittle failure with deformation mechanisms including shear bands and nearly vertical cracks, while pillars with a diameter below 500 nm could carry large plastic strains of ≥20% in a ductile manner with enhanced strength. We report this room-temperature brittle-to-ductile transition in ZIF-62 glass for the first time and demonstrate that theoretical strength and large ductility can be simultaneously achieved in ZIF-62 glass at the nanoscale. Large-scale molecular dynamics simulations have identified that microstructural densification and atomistic rearrangement, i.e., breaking and reconnection of inter-atomistic bonds, were responsible for the exceptional ductility. The insights gained from this study provide a way to manufacture ultra-strong and ductile MOF glasses and may facilitate their processing toward real-world applications.

Abstract
A glass-crystal composite (g-NCP/PCP), comprising a glassy nonporous coordination polymer (g-NCP) and a crystalline porous coordination polymer (PCP)/metal-organic framework, was synthesized by using a melt-quenched method. Compared to that of the PCP itself, g-NCP/PCP has an enhanced gas adsorption selectivity. The results should stimulate further studies of the chemistry of g-NCP/PCP glass-crystal composites.

Abstract
Metal organic framework (MOF) glasses are a coordination network of metal nodes and organic ligands as an undercooled frozen-in liquid, and have therefore broadened the potential of MOF materials in the fundamental research and application scenarios. On the road to deploying MOF glasses as electrocatalysts, it remains several basic scientific hurdles although MOF glasses not only inherit the structural merits of MOFs but also endow with active catalytic features including concentrated defects, metal centers and disorder structure etc. The research on the ionic conductivity, catalytic stability and reactivity of MOF glasses has yielded scientific insights towards its electrocatalytic applications. Here, we first comb the history, definition and basic properties of MOF glasses. Then, we identify the main synthetic methods and characterization techniques. Finally, we advance the potentials and challenges of MOF glasses as electrocatalysts in furthering the understanding of these themes.

Abstract
In this study, we investigate the sintering behavior and mechanisms of metal-organic frameworks/coordination polymers (CPs) through physical and microstructural characterization of [Zn(HPO4)(H2PO4)2]·2H2Im (ZPI; a melting CP, Im = imidazole) and ZIF-8 (a non-melting CP). By performing simple compaction and subsequent sintering, a bulk body of CPs was obtained without losing the macroscopic crystallinity. The sintering behavior was found to be dependent on the temperature, heating rate, and physical properties of the CPs and, in particular, their meltability. During sintering, shrinkage occurred in both the CPs, but the observed shrinkage rate of the ZPI was in the 10-20% range, whereas that of the ZIF-8 was less than 1%. Additionally, the sintering mechanisms of the ZPI and ZIF-8 varied between low and high temperatures, and in the case of ZPI, localized melting between the primary particles was the dominant mechanism on the high-temperature side. However, substantial shrinkage did not correspond to an increase in density; on the contrary, a decrease in the apparent density of ZPI was observed as the sintering temperature was increased. The sintering technique is well established and commercially available; thus, the results obtained in this study can be utilized for optimizing the manufacturing conditions of melting CPs.

Abstract
Superprotonic phase transition in CsHSO4 allows fast protonic conduction, but only at temperatures above the transition temperature of 141 °C (Tc). Here, we preserve the superprotonic conductivity of CsHSO4 by forming a binary CsHSO4-coordination polymer glass system, showing eutectic melting. Their anhydrous proton conductivities below Tc are at least 3 orders of magnitude higher than CsHSO4 without compromising conductivity at higher temperatures or the need for humidification, reaching 6.3 mS cm-1 at 180 °C. The glass also introduces processability to the conductor, as its viscosity below 103 Pa·s can be achieved at 65 °C. Solid-state NMR and X-ray pair distribution functions reveal the oxyanion exchanges and the origin of the preserved conductivity. Finally, we demonstrate the preparation of a micrometer-scale thin-film proton conductor showing low resistivity with high transparency (transmittance >85% between 380-800 nm).

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) glasses have demonstrated great potential for high-performance separation. Herein a uniform hybrid MOF glass membrane was fabricated by using the liquid state of ZIF-62 to facilitate the melting of ZIF-8. The doping of ZIF-8 enhanced both the adsorption capacity as well as the ideal C3H6/C3H8 selectivity of ZIF-62 glass. As expected, the hybrid glass membrane exhibited good C3H6/C3H8 separation performance while preserving the CO2 performance of the sole ZIF-62 membrane.

Abstract
Here, we propose the combination of glassy or crystalline metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) with inorganic glasses to create novel hybrid composites and blends.The motivation behind this new composite approach is to improve the processability issues and mechanical performance of MOFs, whilst maintaining their ubiquitous properties. Herein, the precepts of successful composite formation and pairing of MOF and glass MOFs with inorganic glasses are presented. Focus is also given to the synthetic routes to such materials and the challenges anticipated in both their production and characterisation. Depending on their chemical nature, materials are classified as crystalline MOF‐glass composites and blends. Additionally, the potential properties and applications of these two classes of materials are considered, the key aim being the retention of beneficial properties of both components, whilst circumventing their respective drawbacks.

Abstract
This article discusses the design principles and strategies and the structural outcome of various supramolecular architectures constructed by utilizing well-defined coordination complexes as the metalloligands. We have included selected examples of metalloligands, offering either pyridyl or arylcarboxylic acid groups as the appended functional groups, for illustrating the construction of their supramolecular architectures. Both geometrical position and the number of the appended functional groups emerging from a metalloligand were found to critically regulate the structural aspects and dimensionality of the resultant material. The article concludes by delineating the structure-directing lessions as well as the potential applications of the metalloligand-based supramolecular architectures for the generation of next-level materials.

Abstract
Iron-based metal-organic frameworks (Fe-MOFs) have been considered competitive catalyst candidates for the effective degradation of organic pollutants via advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) due to their unique porous architecture and tunable active site structure. However, little is known about the role of synergetic relationship between porous architecture and active site exposure of Fe-MOFs on catalysis for AOPs yet. Here, we demonstrated an overlooked compromise over these two features on modulating the catalytic ozonation reactivity of MIL-53(Fe) through a timescale-dependent crystal evolution. Enabled by intramolecular hydrogen bonds, the MIL-53(Fe) was subjected to six evolution steps in terms of crystal morphology, leading to a volcano plot of catalytic ozonation reactivity for Rhodamine B (RhB) degradation versus the crystallization time. Evidence suggested that the surface area of MIL-53(Fe) decreased dramatically, while the density of accessible active site increased when prolonging crystallization time, allowing for the facile modulation of catalytic ozonation reactivity of MIL-53(Fe). Electron paramagnetic resonance and fluorescence quantification tests verified that the screened MIL-53(Fe)s had a much better capacity for ∙OH generation than benchmark ozonation catalyst α-MnO2 and α-FeOOH. Moreover, the MIL-53(Fe) with the highest reactivity (i.e., MIL-53(Fe)-18H) could effectively destruct a broad spectrum of emerging and refractory organic pollutants and allow the thorough purification of secondary effluents discharged from textile dyeing & finishing industry for in situ reuse. Therefore, our study advances the understanding of the compromise effect between porous architecture and active site on catalysis reactivity of Fe-MOFs and promotes the rational design of more effective Fe-MOFs as well as their derivatives for environmental applications.

Abstract
In recent years, the study of the glassy structure of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) has been a key breakthrough in glass science. Yet the theoretical understanding of the structure of these complex materials is still in its infancy, especially the short-range structure. The short-structural disorder of two ZIFs and their corresponding molten structure, namely, ZIF-4 and ZIF-62 are studied, using ab initio simulations. Changes in short-range order are investigated, particularly the changes in bond length, bond angle, and tetrahedral unit volume. Furthermore, the asymmetric distribution of organic groups caused by the benzimidazole functional group leads to the difference in short-range disorder between ZIF-4 and ZIF-62 glasses, which contribute to the glass-forming ability difference. The ZIFs melting processes were studied by ab initio molecular dynamics simulation Changes in short-range order (SRO) of molten ZIFs are investigated Revealing the asymmetric distribution of bIm groups leads to the difference in SRO The SRO of ZIFs can be used to compare the amorphous formation abilities

Abstract
The description of the formation, structure, and reactivity of coordination networks and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) remains a real challenge in a number of cases. This is notably true for compounds composed of Zn2+ ions and terephthalate ligands (benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate, BDC) because of the difficulties in isolating them as pure phases and/or because of the presence of structural defects. Here, using mechanochemistry in combination with operando Raman spectroscopy, the observation of the formation of various zinc terephthalate compounds was rendered possible, allowing the distinction and isolation of three intermediates during the ball-milling synthesis of Zn3(OH)4(BDC). An "NMR crystallography" approach was then used, combining solid-state NMR (1H, 13C, and 17O) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations to refine the poorly described crystallographic structures of these phases. Particularly noteworthy are the high-resolution 17O NMR analyses, which were made possible in a highly efficient and cost-effective way, thanks to the selective 17O-enrichment of either hydroxyl or terephthalate groups by ball-milling. This allowed the presence of defect sites to be identified for the first time in one of the phases, and the nature of the H-bonding network of the hydroxyls to be established in another. Lastly, the possibility of using deuterated precursors (e.g., D2O and d 4-BDC) during ball-milling is also introduced as a means for observing specific transformations during operando Raman spectroscopy studies, which would not have been possible with hydrogenated equivalents. Overall, the synthetic and spectroscopic approaches developed herein are expected to push forward the understanding of the structure and reactivity of other complex coordination networks and MOFs.

Abstract
The paper evaluates the routes towards the evaluation of membranes using ZIF-62 metal organic framework (MOF) nano-hybrid dots for environmental remediation. Optimization of interaction of operating parameters over the rooted membrane is challenging issue. Subsequently, the interaction of operating parameters including temperature, pressure and CO2 gas concentration over the resultant rooted membranes are evaluated and optimized using response surface methodology for environmental remediation. In addition, the stability and effect of hydrocarbons on the performance of the resulting membrane during the gas mixture separation are evaluated at optimum conditions to meet the industrial requirements. The characterization results verified the fabrication of the ZIF-62 MOF rooted composite membrane. The permeation results demonstrated that the CO2 permeability and CO2/CH4 selectivity of the composite membrane was increased from 15.8 to 84.8 Barrer and 12.2 to 35.3 upon integration of ZIF-62 nano-glass into cellulose acetate (CA) polymer. Subsequently, the optimum conditions have been found at a temperature of 30 °C, the pressure of 12.6 bar and CO2 feed concentration of 53.3 vol%. These optimum conditions revealed the highest CO2 permeability, CH4 permeability and CO2/CH4 separation factor of 47.9 Barrer, 0.2 Barrer and 26.8. The presence of hydrocarbons in gas mixture dropped the CO2 permeability of 56.5% and separation factor of 46.4% during 206 h of testing. The separation performance of the composite membrane remained stable without the presence of hydrocarbons for 206 h.

Abstract
This is a review of atomic pair distribution function (PDF) analysis as applied to the study of molecular materials. The PDF method is a powerful approach to study short- and intermediate-range order in materials on the nanoscale. It may be obtained from total scattering measurements using X-rays, neutrons, or electrons, and it provides structural details when defects, disorder, or structural ambiguities obscure their elucidation directly in reciprocal space. While its uses in the study of inorganic crystals, glasses, and nanomaterials have been recently highlighted, significant progress has also been made in its application to molecular materials such as carbons, pharmaceuticals, polymers, liquids, coordination compounds, composites, and more. Here, an overview of applications toward a wide variety of molecular compounds (organic and inorganic) and systems with molecular components is presented. We then present pedagogical descriptions and tips for further implementation. Successful utilization of the method requires an interdisciplinary consolidation of material preparation, high quality scattering experimentation, data processing, model formulation, and attentive scrutiny of the results. It is hoped that this article will provide a useful reference to practitioners for PDF applications in a wide realm of molecular sciences, and help new practitioners to get started with this technique.

Abstract
Water pollution from synthetic dyes is a growing environmental concern because many dyes have carcinogenic effects on humans and aquatic life. Adsorption is a widely used technology for the separation and removal of dyes from wastewater. However, the dye removal process using conventional adsorbents is not sufficiently efficient for industrial wastewater. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) addresses these drawbacks. MOF showed excellent dye removal and degradation capacity owing to its multifunctionality, water-stability, large surface area, tunable pore size and recyclability. Magnetic MOFs retained excellent performance up to several consecutive cycles. Modified MOFs performed as Fenton-like catalysis process which generated abundant reactive radicals that degraded complex organic dyes into simple and less toxic forms which were further adsorbed onto the MOF. This review systematically compiles in-depth studies on the adsorptive removal of dyes from wastewater, MOF adsorption mechanisms, major influencing factors, to adsorption efficiency of MOFs. While all MOFs adsorb dyes through electrostatic attraction, the type of MOF, presence of functional groups, ligands, and pH significantly control the adsorption mechanism. Before developing an MOF, optimization and upgradation of factors and interaction between available adsorption site and adsorbate is needed. Finally, the prospects and new frontiers of MOFs in sustainable water treatment is discussed.

Abstract
The melting behaviour of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has aroused significant research interest in the areas of materials science, condensed matter physics and chemical engineering. This work first introduces a novel method to fabricate a bimetallic MOF glass, through melt-quenching of the cobalt-based zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) [ZIF-62(Co)] with an adsorbed ferric coordination complex. The high-temperature chemically reactive ZIF-62(Co) liquid facilitates the formation of coordinative bonds between Fe and imidazolate ligands, incorporating Fe nodes into the framework after quenching. The resultant Co-Fe bimetallic MOF glass therefore shows a significantly enhanced oxygen evolution reaction performance. The novel bimetallic MOF glass, when combined with the facile and scalable mechanochemical synthesis technique for both discrete powders and surface coatings on flexible substrates, enables significant opportunities for catalytic device assembly.

Abstract
Composite membranes typically used for gas separation are susceptible to interfacial voids and CO2 plasticization which adversely affects the gas permeation performance. This paper evaluates routes towards the enhancement of CO2 permeation performance and CO2 plasticization resistance of composite membranes using non-stoichiometric ZIF-62 MOF glass and cellulose acetate (CA). Single and mixed gas permeation results, obtained with CO2 and CH4, demonstrate that the presence of ZIF-62 glass in CA polymer enhanced the CO2 permeability and CO2/CH4 ideal selectivity from 15.8 to 84.8 Barrer and 12.2-35.3, respectively. The composite membrane loaded with 8 wt% of ZIF-62 glass showed the highest CO2 permeability and CO2/CH4 ideal selectivity of 84.8 Barrer and 35.3, which were 436.7% and 189.3% higher compared to the pristine CA membrane, respectively. A CO2 plasticization pressure of 26 bar was achieved for the composite membranes, which is 160% higher compared to the pristine CA membranes, at about 10 bar. The mechanisms for the materials stabilization and greater separation performance were attributed to higher pore size (7.3 Å) and significant CO2 adsorption on the unsaturated metal nodes followed by metal cites electrostatic interaction with CO2. These findings confirm the potential of ZIF-62 glass materials as promising materials solutions towards the design of composite membranes for CO2 separation at industrial scale.

Abstract
Reconstruction induced by external environment (such as applied voltage bias and test electrolytes) changes catalyst component and catalytic behaviors. Investigations of complete reconstruction in energy conversion recently receive intensive attention, which promote the targeted design of top-performance materials with maximum component utilization and good stability. However, the advantages of complete reconstruction, its design strategies, and extensive applications have not achieved the profound understandings and summaries it deserves. Here, this review systematically summarizes several important advances in complete reconstruction for the first time, which includes 1) fundamental understandings of complete reconstruction, the characteristics and advantages of completely reconstructed catalysts, and their design principles, 2) types of reconstruction-involved precatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction catalysis in wide pH solution, and origins of limited reconstruction degree as well as design strategies/principles toward complete reconstruction, 3) complete reconstruction for novel material synthesis and other electrocatalysis fields, and 4) advanced in situ/operando or multiangle/level characterization techniques to capture the dynamic reconstruction processes and real catalytic contributors. Finally, the existing major challenges and unexplored/unsolved issues on studying the reconstruction chemistry are summarized, and an outlook for the further development of complete reconstruction is briefly proposed. This review will arouse the attention on complete reconstruction materials and their applications in diverse fields.

Abstract
Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) allows for imaging, diffraction, and spectroscopy of materials on length scales ranging from microns to atoms. By using a high-speed, direct electron detector, it is now possible to record a full two-dimensional (2D) image of the diffracted electron beam at each probe position, typically a 2D grid of probe positions. These 4D-STEM datasets are rich in information, including signatures of the local structure, orientation, deformation, electromagnetic fields, and other sample-dependent properties. However, extracting this information requires complex analysis pipelines that include data wrangling, calibration, analysis, and visualization, all while maintaining robustness against imaging distortions and artifacts. In this paper, we present py4DSTEM, an analysis toolkit for measuring material properties from 4D-STEM datasets, written in the Python language and released with an open-source license. We describe the algorithmic steps for dataset calibration and various 4D-STEM property measurements in detail and present results from several experimental datasets. We also implement a simple and universal file format appropriate for electron microscopy data in py4DSTEM, which uses the open-source HDF5 standard. We hope this tool will benefit the research community and help improve the standards for data and computational methods in electron microscopy, and we invite the community to contribute to this ongoing project.

Abstract
Molecular self-assembly is pervasive in the formation of living and synthetic materials. Knowledge gained from research into the principles of molecular self-assembly drives innovation in the biological, chemical, and materials sciences. Self-assembly processes span a wide range of temporal and spatial domains and are often unintuitive and complex. Studying such complex processes requires an arsenal of analytical and computational tools. Within this arsenal, the transmission electron microscope stands out for its unique ability to visualize and quantify self-assembly structures and processes. This review describes the contribution that the transmission electron microscope has made to the field of molecular self-assembly. An emphasis is placed on which TEM methods are applicable to different structures and processes and how TEM can be used in combination with other experimental or computational methods. Finally, we provide an outlook on the current challenges to, and opportunities for, increasing the impact that the transmission electron microscope can have on molecular self-assembly.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have been thoroughly investigated with regards to applications in gas separation membranes in the past years. More recently, new preparation methods for MOFs and COFs as particles and thin-film membranes, as well as for mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) have been developed. We will highlight novel processes and highly functional materials: Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) can be transformed into glasses and we will give an insight into their use for membranes. In addition, liquids with permanent porosity offer solution processability for the manufacture of extremely potent MMMs. Also, MOF materials influenced by external stimuli give new directions for the enhancement of performance by in situ techniques. Presently, COFs with their large pores are useful in quantum sieving applications, and by exploiting the stacking behavior also molecular sieving COF membranes are possible. Similarly, porous polymers can be constructed using MOF templates, which then find use in gas separation membranes.
