Chae SH, Lee H, Nam K. Mechanistic study of visible light driven photocatalytic degradation of clofibric acid using Fe-based metal organic frameworks (MOFs). CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 359:142365. [PMID: 38763402 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142365] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2024] [Revised: 05/13/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 05/21/2024]
Abstract
Although a series of past studies proved the potential usage of Fe-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as photocatalysts, there remains a knowledge gap of the photocatalytic mechanism stemming from the challenge to separate the simultaneous sorption and photocatalytic degradation. Thus, this article aimed to suggest a novel approach by desorbing target molecules during photocatalysis to excavate the underlying mechanisms of sorption and photocatalytic degradation. In this study, two Fe-based MOFs, MIL-101(Fe) and MIL-101(Fe)-NH2, were selected to remove clofibric acid under visible light irradiation. Prior to photocatalysis, sorption mechanism was uncovered based on the sorption kinetic, isotherm, thermodynamic interpretation, and of its dependence on solution pH. The results inferred that the primary sorption mechanism was through the π-π interaction between the benzene ring of clofibric acid and the organic ligand of Fe-based MOFs. Based on these results, photocatalytic mechanism could be independently or jointly assessed during the photocatalytic degradation of clofibric acid. Subsequently, the application of the Tauc method and XPS spectra revealed that the bandgap structure of Fe-based MOFs had the potential to oxidize clofibric acid by producing ROS through the electron excitation upon visible-light illumination. On top of that, the amine functionalization of Fe-based MOF altered the structural moiety that led to an additional strong acid-base interaction with clofibric acid but a decrease in the bandgap limiting the ROS production during photocatalytic activity.

Abstract
Environmental pollution has been increasing since last decade due to increasing industrialisation and urbanisation. Various kinds ofenvironmental pollutants including carbon dioxide (CO2), dyes, pharmaceuticals, phenols, heavy metals along with many organic and inorganic species have been discovered in the various environmental compartments which possess harmful impacts tox human health, wildlife, and ecosystems. Thus, various efforts have been made through regulations, technological advancements, and public awareness campaigns to reduce the impact of the pollution. However, finding suitable alternatives to mitigate their impacts remained a challenge. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are one of the advanced materials with unique features such as high porosity and stability which exhibit versatile applications in environmental remediation. Their composites with titanium oxide nanoparticles (TiO2) have been discovered to offer potential feature such as light harvesting capacity and catalytic activity. The composite integration and properties have been confirmed through characterization using surface area analysis, scanning electron/transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and others. Thus, this work rigorously discussed potential applications of the MOF@TiO2 nanomaterials for the CO2 capture and effective utilization in methanol, ethanol, acetone, acetaldehyde, and other useful products that served as fuel to various industrial processes. Additionally, the work highlights the effective performance of the materials towards photocatalytic degradation of both organic and inorganic pollutants with indepth mechanistic insights. The article will offer significant contribution for the development of sustainable and efficient technologies for the environmental monitoring and pollution mitigation.

ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2024; 107:106912.

Abstract
The United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are significant in guiding modern scientific research. In recent years, scholars have paid much attention to MOFs materials as green materials. However, piezo catalysis of MOFs materials has not been widely studied. Piezoelectric materials can convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, while MOFs are effective photocatalysts for removing pollutants. Therefore, it is crucial to design MOFs with piezoelectric properties and photosensitivity. In this study, sulfur-functionalized metal-organic frameworks (S-MOFs) were prepared using organic sulfur-functionalized ligand (H2TDC) ultrasonic synthesis to enhance their piezoelectric properties and visible light absorption. The study demonstrated that the S-MOFs significantly enhanced the reduction of a 10 mg/L solution of hexavalent chromium to 99.4 % within 10 min, using only 15 mg of catalyst. The orbital energy level differences of the elements were analyzed using piezo response force microscopy (PFM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results showed that MOFs functionalized with sulfur atom ligands have a built-in electric field that facilitates charge separation and migration. This study presents a new approach to enhance the piezoelectric properties of MOFs, which broadens their potential applications in piezo catalysis and piezo-photocatalysis. Additionally, it provides a sustainable method for reducing hexavalent chromium, contributing to the achievement of sustainable development goals, specifically SDG-6, SDG-7, SDG-9, and SDG-12.

Abstract
A new cobalt-based metal-organic framework with the chemical formula of [Co2(DClTPA)2(DABCO)]·(DMF)4 (MUT-16) containing 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) and 2,5-dichloroterephthalic acid (DClTPA) has been designed and prepared through a solvothermal method. MUT-16 (MUT = Materials from University of Tehran) crystallized in a tetragonal system with I41/acd space group, based on single-crystal X-ray analysis. The Ag@MUT-16 nanocomposite was prepared using Ag nanoparticles (NPs) loaded into/onto porous MUT-16via photoreduction route (PR). The MUT-16 and Ag@MUT-16 were characterized using various techniques, such as PXRD, FT-IR, FE-SEM, TEM, EDX, N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, TGA, DRS, PL, EIS, and Mott-Schottky measurements. The Ag@MUT-16 nanocomposite showed photocatalytic activity of 87.75% in the degradation of Quinoline Yellow (QY) after 30 min under visible light irradiation. The distinctive characteristics of the Ag@MUT-16 nanocomposite, such as the Fenton-like effect of Co2+ ions, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of Ag NPs, Schottky junction at interfaces between Ag NPs and MUT-16, and reduction of electron-hole recombination through electron trapping by Ag NPs as co-catalyst, all play significant roles in the photocatalytic degradation of Quinoline Yellow (QY).

Abstract
Water pollution is one of serious environmental issues due to the rapid development of industrial and agricultural sectors, and clean water resources have been receiving increasing attention. Recently, more and more studies have witnessed significant development of catalysts (metal oxides, metal sulfides, metal-organic frameworks, zero-valent metal, etc.) for wastewater treatment and water purification. Sustainable and clean catalysts immobilized into chitosan-based materials (Cat@CSbMs) are considered one of the most appealing subclasses of functional materials due to their high catalytic activity, high adsorption capacities, non-toxicity and relative stability. This review provides a summary of various upgrading renewable Cat@CSbMs (such as cocatalyst, photocatalyst, and Fenton-like reagent, etc.). As for engineering applications, further researches of Cat@CSbMs should focus on treating complex wastewater containing both heavy metals and organic pollutants, as well as developing continuous flow treatment methods for industrial wastewater using Cat@CSbMs. In conclusion, this review abridges the gap between different approaches for upgrading renewable and clean Cat@CSbMs and their future applications. This will contribute to the development of cleaner and sustainable Cat@CSbMs for wastewater treatment and water purification.

Abstract
This concept focuses on dual-catalysis using metal complexes and heterogeneous photocatalysts. Vitamin B12 derivatives are sophisticated metal complexes that facilitate enzymatic reactions in the biological systems. The B12 enzymes inspired reactions catalytically proceed in dual-catalyst systems of B12 derivatives and heterogeneous photocatalysts, such as titanium oxide (TiO2) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), under light irradiation. The cobalt ions in B12 derivatives are effectively reduced by photoexcited photocatalysts, producing low-valent Co(I) species. The photoinduced nucleophilic Co(I) species react with an alkyl halide to form an organometallic complex with a Co-C bond. The Co-C bond dissociates during photolysis to generate alkyl radicals. Based on this mechanism, dual-catalysis effectively promotes various light-driven organic syntheses and light-driven dehalogenation reactions of toxic alkyl halides. The trends of the dual-catalyst system and recent progress in this field are discussed in this concept.

Abstract
Poly(triazine imide)·Li+Cl- (PTI/Li+Cl-) as one of the most reported crystalline carbon nitrides has shown exciting potential for photocatalysis. However, understanding the role of Li+/Cl- in the photoexcited charge transfer in the time and space of PTI is a challenging problem. Here, we have investigated the nonradiative charge recombination of series ion intercalated PTI systems (PTI/Li+X-, where X = F, Cl, Br, and I) by performing the ab initio nonadiabatic molecular dynamics simulations. The results indicate that the intercalated anions in PTI/Li+Cl- and PTI/Li+Br- have the potential to trap holes, separate the electrons and holes, and prolong the nonradiative electron-hole recombination. In particular, ∼70% of holes in PTI/Li+Cl- can transport among interlayers toward the {0001} planes, while most of the electrons are transferred to the {101̅0} planes, exhibiting different transport pathways and directions. Furthermore, PTI/Li+Cl- has an electron-hole recombination time as long as 136 ns, which explains its excellent optoelectronic properties. This work provides a theoretical baseline for the reported facet engineering improvement of crystalline carbon nitride for overall water splitting.

Abstract
To efficiently degrade organic pollutants, photocatalysts must be effective under both ultraviolet (UV) radiation and sunlight. We synthesized a series of new metal-organic frameworks by using mild hydrothermal conditions. These frameworks incorporate three distinct bipyridyl ligands: pyrazine (pyr), 4,4'-bipyridine (bpy), and 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane (bpe). The resulting compounds are denoted as [Cu(pyz)(H2O)2MF6], [Cu(bpy)2(H2O)2]·MF6, and [Cu(bpe)2(H2O)2]·MF6·H2O [M = Zr (1, 3, and 5) and Hf (2, 4, and 6)]. All six compounds exhibited a two-dimensional crystal structure comprising infinitely nonintersecting linear chains. Compound 3 achieved 100% degradation of methylene blue (MB) after 8 min under UV irradiation and 100 min under natural sunlight in the presence of H2O2 as the electron acceptor. For compound 5, 100% MB degradation was achieved after 120 min under sunlight and 10 min under UV light. Moreover, reactive radical tests revealed that the dominant species involved in photocatalytic degradation are hydroxyl (•OH), superoxide radicals (•O2-), and photogenerated holes (h+). The photodegradation process followed pseudo-first-order kinetics, with photodegradation rate constants of 0.362 min-1 (0.039 min-1) for 3 and 0.316 min-1 (0.033 min-1) for 5 under UV (sunlight) irradiation. The developed photocatalysts with excellent activity and good recyclability are promising green catalysts for degrading organic pollutants during environmental decontamination.

Abstract
The growing demand for fossil fuels and subsequent CO2 emissions prompted a search for alternate sources of energy and a reduction in CO2. Photocatalysis driven by solar light has been found as a potential research area to tackle both these problems. In this direction, SAC@MOF (Single-atom loaded MOFs) photocatalysis is an emerging field and a promising technology. The unique properties of single-atom catalysts (SACs), such as high catalytic activity and selectivity, are leveraged in these systems. Photocatalysis, focusing on the utilization of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) as platforms for creating single-atom catalysts (SACs) characterized by metal single-atoms (SAs) as their active sites, are noted for their unparalleled atomic efficiency, precisely defined active sites, and superior photocatalytic performance. The synergy between MOFs and SAs in photocatalytic systems is meticulously examined, highlighting how they collectively enhance photocatalytic efficiency. This review examines SAC@MOF development and applications in environmental and energy sectors, focusing on synthesis and stabilization methods for SACs on MOFs and also characterization techniques vital for understanding these catalysts. The potential of SAC@MOF in CO2 Photoreduction and Photocatalytic H2 evolution is highlighted, emphasizing its role in green energy technologies and advances in materials science and Photocatalysis.

Abstract
Tetracycline (TC) antibiotics, extensively utilized in livestock farming and aquaculture, pose significant environmental challenges. Photocatalysis, leveraging renewable sunlight and reusable photocatalysts, offers a promising avenue for mitigating TC pollution. However, identifying robust photocatalysts remains a formidable challenge. This study introduces a novel hollow-flower-ball-like nanoheterojunction composed of a nitrogen-rich covalent organic framework (N-COF) coupled with BiOBr (BOB), a semiconductor with a higher Fermi level. The synthesized N-COF/BOB S-scheme nanoheterojunction features an expanded contact interface, strengthened chemical bonding, and unique band topologies. The N-COF/BOB composites showcased exceptional TC degradation performance, achieving an 81.2% removal of 60 mg/L TC within 2 h, markedly surpassing the individual efficiencies of N-COF and BOB by factors of 3.80 and 5.96, respectively. Furthermore, the total organic carbon (TOC) removal efficiency highlights a superior mineralization capacity in the N-COF/BOB composite compared to the individual components, N-COF and BOB. The toxicity assessment revealed that the degradation intermediates possess diminished environmental toxicity. This enhanced performance is ascribed to the robust S-scheme nanoheterojunction structure, which promotes efficient photoinduced electron transfer from BOB to N-COF. This process also augments the separation of photogenerated charge carriers, resulting in an increased yield of superoxide radicals (∙O2-) and hydroxyl radicals (∙OH). These reactive species significantly contribute to the degradation and mineralization of TC. Consequently, this study introduces a sustainable approach for addressing emerging antibiotic contaminants, employing COF-based photocatalysts.

Abstract
Heterojunctions combining two photocatalysts of staggered conduction and valence band energy levels can increase the photocatalytic efficiency compared to their individual components. This activity enhancement is due to the minimization of undesirable charge recombination by the occurrence of carrier migration through the heterojunction interface with separated electrons and holes on the reducing and oxidizing junction component, respectively. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are currently among the most researched photocatalysts due to their tunable light absorption, facile charge separation, large surface area and porosity. The present review summarizes the current state-of-the-art in MOF-based heterojunctions, providing critical comments on the construction of these heterostructures. Besides including examples showing the better performance of MOF heterojunctions for three important photocatalytic processes, such as hydrogen evolution reaction, CO2 photoreduction and dye decolorization, the focus of this review is on describing synthetic procedures to form heterojunctions with MOFs and on discussing the experimental techniques that provide evidence for the operation of charge migration between the MOF and the other component. Special attention has been paid to the design of rational MOF heterojunctions with small particle size and controlled morphology for an appropriate interfacial contact. The final section summarizes the achievements of the field and provides our views on future developments.

Abstract
In this study, a new core-shell Fe3O4@SiO2/PAEDTC@MIL-101 (Fe) photocatalyst was prepared by sol-gel method and used to degrade diazinon (DZN) and chlorpyrifos (CPS) from aqueous solutions. The characteristics analyzed by various techniques indicate that the core-shell photocatalyst with a specific surface area of 992 m2/g, pore size of 1.35 nm and saturation magnetization of nanocomposite was 12 emu/g has been successfully synthesized and can be separated from the reaction solution by a magnetic field. The maximum efficiencies of DZN (98.8%) and CPS (99.9%) were provided at pH of 5, photocatalyst dosage of 0.6 g/L, pollutant concentration of 25 mg/L, radiation intensity of 15 W, and time of 60 min. The presence of anions such as sulfate, nitrate, bicarbonate, phosphate, and chloride had a negative effect on the performance of the photocatalysis system. Compared to the adsorption and photolysis systems alone, the photocatalytic process based on Fe3O4@SiO2/PAEDTC@MIL-101 (Fe) under two UV and visible light sources showed a high efficiency of 90% in the reaction time of 60 min. The BOD5/COD ratio improved after 50 min to above 0.4 with TOC and COD removal rates >80%. Scavenging tests showed that •OH radical, hole (h+), electron (e-), and O2•- anion were produced in the reaction reactor, and the •OH radical was the dominant species in the degradation of DZN and CPS. The stability tests confirmed the recyclability of the photocatalyst in 360 min of reactions, with a minimum reduction of 7%. Energy consumption for the present system during different reactions was between 15.61 and 25.06 kWh/m3 for DZN degradation and 10-22.87 kWh/m3 for CPS degradation.

Abstract
Polluted water has become a concern for the scientific community as it causes many severe threats to living beings. Detection or removal of contaminants present in wastewater and attaining purity of water that can be used for various purposes are a primary responsibility. Different treatment methods have already been used for the purification of sewage. There is a need for low-cost, highly selective, and reusable materials that can efficiently remove pollutants or purify contaminated water. In this regard, MOFs have shown significant potential for applications such as supercapacitors, drug delivery, gas storage, pollutant adsorption, etc. The outstanding structural diversity, substantial surface areas, and adjustable pore sizes of MOFs make them superior candidates for wastewater treatment. This Review provides an overview of the interaction science and engineering (kinetic and thermodynamic aspects with interactions) underpinning MOFs for water purification. First, fundamental strategies for the synthesis methods of MOFs, different categories, and their applicability in wastewater treatment are summarized, followed by a detailed explanation of various interaction mechanisms. Finally, current challenges and future outlooks for research on MOF materials toward the adsorption of hazardous components are discussed. A new avenue for modifying their structural characteristics for the adsorption and separation of hazardous materials, which will undoubtedly direct future work, is also summarized.

Abstract
Membrane separation plays a crucial role in the current increasingly complex energy environment. Membranes prepared by metal-organic framework (MOF) materials usually possess unique advantages in common, such as uniform pore size, ultra-high porosity, enhanced selectivity and throughput, and excellent adsorption property, which have been contributed to the separation fields. In this comprehensive review, we summarize various designs and synthesized strategies of free-standing MOF and composite MOF-based membranes for water treatment. Special emphases are given not only on the effects of MOF on membrane performance, removal efficiencies, and elimination mechanisms, but also on the importance of MOF-based membranes for the applications of oily and micro-pollutant removal, adsorption, separation, and catalysis. The challenges and opportunities in the future for the industrial implementation of MOF-based membranes are also discussed.

Abstract
Mitochondrial topisomerase 1 (Top1mt) is critical for mtDNA replication, transcription, and energy production. Here, we investigate the carrier-mediated targeted delivery of the anticancer drug irinotecan into the mitochondria to selectively trap Top1mt covalent complexes (Top1mtcc) and its role in anticancer therapeutics. We have designed a biocompatible mesoporous metal-organic framework (MOF) material, namely MIL-101(Fe), as the drug delivery carrier that selectively localizes inside mitochondria. In contrast to the traditional way of synthesising MOFs, here we have employed a vapour-assisted solvothermal method for the synthesis of MIL-101(Fe) using terephthalic acid as the organic linker and Fe(III) as the metal source. The advantage of this method is that it recycles the excess solvent (DMF) and reduces the amount of washing solvent. We demonstrate that MIL-101(Fe)-encapsulated irinotecan (MIL-Iri) was selectively targeted towards the mitochondria to poison Top1mtcc in a dose-dependent manner and was achieved at a low nanomolar drug concentration. We provide evidence that Top1mtcc generated by MIL-Iri leads to mtDNA damage in human colon and breast cancer cells and plays a significant role in cellular toxicity. Altogether, this study provides evidence for a new and effective strategy in anticancer chemotherapy.

Abstract
A novel doubly interpenetrated indium-organic framework of 1 has been assembled by In3+ ions and highly conjugated biquinoline carboxylate-based bitopic connectors (H2L). The isolated 1 exhibits an anionic framework possessing channel-type apertures repleted with exposed quinoline N atoms and carboxyl O atoms. Owing to the unique architecture, 1 displays a durable photoluminescence effect and fluorescence quenching sensing toward CrO42-, Cr2O72-, and Cu2+ ions with reliable selectivity and anti-interference properties, fairly high detection sensitivity, and rather low detection limits. Ligand-to-ligand charge transition (LLCT) was identified as the essential cause of luminescence by modeling the ground state and excited states of 1 using DFT and TD-DFT. In addition, the negatively charged framework has the ability to rapidly capture single cationic MB, BR14, or BY24 and their mixture, including the talent to trap MB from the (MB + MO) system with high selectivity. Moreover, intrinsic light absorption capacity and band structure feature endow 1 with effective photocatalytic decomposition ability toward reactive dyes RR2 and RB13 under ultraviolet light. Notably, after further polishing the band structure state of 1 by constructing the S-scheme heterojunction of In2S3/1, highly efficient photocatalytic detoxification of Cr(VI) and degradation of reactive dyes have been fully achieved under visible light. This finding may open a new avenue for designing novel multifunctional MOF-based platforms to address some intractable environmental issues, i.e., detection of heavy metal ions, physical capture of pony-sized dyes, and photochemical decontamination of ultrastubborn reactive dyes and highly toxic Cr(VI) ions from water.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a novel category of porous crystalline materials with an exceptionally high surface area and adjustable pore structure. They possess a designable composition and can be easily functionalized with different units. Porphyrins with conjugated tetrapyrrole macrocyclic structures can absorb light from ultraviolet to visible light regions, and their structures and properties can be facilely regulated by altering their peripheral groups or central metal ions. Porphyrin-based MOFs constructed from porphyrin ligands and metal nodes combine the unique features of porphyrins and MOFs as well as overcoming their respective limitations. This paper reviewed the design and construction, light absorption and charge transfer pathways, and strategy for improving the photocatalytic performance of porphyrin-based MOFs, and highlighted the recent progress in the field of CO2 reduction, hydrogen evolution, organic synthesis, organic pollutant removal, and nitrogen fixation. The intrinsic relationships between the structure and the property of porphyrin-based MOFs received special attention, especially the relationships between the arrangements of porphyrin ligands and metal nods and the charge transfer mechanism. We attempted to provide more valuable information for the design and construction of advanced photocatalysts in the future. Finally, the challenges and future perspectives of the porphyrin-based MOFs are also discussed.

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

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticle-incorporated metal organic frameworks (MOF) are potential composites for various applications such as catalysis, water treatment, drug delivery, gas storage, chemical sensing, and heavy metal ion removal. MOFs exhibits high porosity and flexibility enabling guest species like heavy metal ions to diffuse into bulk structure. Additionally, shape and size of the pores contribute to selectivity of the guest materials. Incorporation of magnetic materials allows easy collection of adsorbent materials from solution system making the process simple and cost-effective. In view of the above advantages in the present review article, we are discussing recent advances of different magnetic material-incorporated MOF (Mg-MOF) composite for application in photocatalytic degradation of dyes and toxic chemicals, adsorption of organic compounds, adsorption of heavy metal ions, and adsorption of dyes. The review initially discusses on properties of Mg-MOF, different synthesis techniques such as mechanochemical, sonochemical (ultrasound) synthesis, slow evaporation and diffusion methods, solvo(hydro)-thermal and iono-thermal method, microwave-assisted method, microemulsion method post-synthetic modification template strategies and followed by application in waste water treatment.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are unique hybrid porous materials formed by combining metal ions or clusters with organic ligands. Thiol and thioether-based MOFs belong to a specific category of MOFs where one or many thiols or thioether groups are present in organic linkers. Depending on the linkers, thiol-thioether MOFs can be divided into three categories: (i) MOFs where both thiol or thioether groups are part of the carboxylic acid ligands, (ii) MOFs where only thiol or thioether groups are present in the organic linker, and (iii) MOFs where both thiol or thioether groups are part of azolate-containing linkers. MOFs containing thiol-thioether-based acid ligands are synthesized through two primary approaches; one is by utilizing thiol and thioether-based carboxylic acid ligands where the bonding pattern of ligands with metal ions plays a vital role in MOF formation (HSAB principle). MOFs synthesized by this approach can be structurally differentiated into two categories: structures without common structural motifs and structures with common structural motifs (related to UiO-66, UiO-67, UiO-68, MIL-53, NU-1100, etc.). The second approach to synthesize thiol and thioether-based MOFs is indirect methods, where thiol or thioether functionality is introduced in MOFs by techniques like post-synthetic modifications (PSM), post-synthetic exchange (PSE) and by forming composite materials. Generally, MOFs containing only thiol-thioether-based ligands are synthesized by interfacial assisted synthesis, forming two-dimensional sheet frameworks, and show significantly high conductivity. A limited study has been done on MOFs containing thiol-thioether-based azolate ligands where both nitrogen- and sulfur-containing functionality are present in the MOF frameworks. These materials exhibit intriguing properties stemming from the interplay between metal centres, organic ligands, and sulfur functionality. As a result, they offer great potential for multifaceted applications, ranging from catalysis, sensing, and conductivity, to adsorption. This perspective is organised through an introduction, schematic representations, and tabular data of the reported thiol and thioether MOFs and concluded with future directions.

Abstract
In this study, four isostructural aluminum-based porphyrin metal-organic frameworks [Al-TCPP(M), M = H2 and Zn] with different morphologies and sizes were synthesized by the hydrothermal method. By adjusting the hydrothermal reaction time and the types of porphyrin ligands, Al-TCPP(M) MOFs exhibited diverse morphologies including tetragonal, rectangular, and carambola-like phase. In view of the introduction of porphyrin ligands and the strong coordination effect of Al-O units, Al-TCPP(M) MOFs exhibited good chemical stability, broad visible light harvesting capability, and fast photogenerated charge response. Four Al-TCPP(M) MOFs exhibited excellent photocatalytic activities for Cr(VI) in aqueous solution. Notably, the regulation to the nanoscale carambola-like morphology of Al-TCPP MOFs and metallization of the porphyrin ligand promoted the Cr(VI) photoreduction reaction where the catalytic activity of metallic carambola-like Al-TCPP increased 1.7 times compared to that of nonmetallic tetragonal MOFs. With the assistance of sonophotocatalysis, the Cr(VI) average reduction rates reached 0.658, 0.542, 0.785, and 0.629 mg·L-1·min-1 for Al-TCPP(H2)-24h, Al-TCPP(H2)-72h, Al-TCPP(Zn)-24h, and Al-TCPP(Zn)-72h, which are 1.2-1.4 times higher than that of photocatalysis. UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, electronic spin resonance, and fluorescence spectroscopy experiments demonstrated that the synergistic effect of photochemistry and sonochemistry promoted the transfer of photogenerated electrons from Al-TCPP(M) to Cr(VI), thus enhancing the catalytic activity. The combination of the sonophotocatalytic technology with aluminum-porphyrin MOFs may become an effective strategy to improve MOF-based photocatalytic systems.

Abstract
Microcystins (MCs) are toxins produced by cyanobacteria commonly found in harmful algal blooms (HAB) occurring in many surface waters. Conventional methods for removing MC-LR such as membrane filtration and activated carbon are only phase change removal methods and are often expensive in operation and maintenance. It is urgent to develop a rapid, easy-to-use, and cost-effective method for the degradation of MC-LR. In this study, a novel Au-decorated Ni-metal-organic framework (Au/Ni-MOF) was newly developed on a hydrophilic carbon fiber paper (2 cm × 2 cm) using an air spraying method. The Au/Ni-MOF was then applied for the photodegradation of MC-LR in water under UV-Vis. The addition of Au onto the surface of the Ni-MOF resulted in a nearly fivefold enhancement in the reaction rate coefficient (k), reaching a value of 0.0599 min-1 for the photodegradation of MC-LR (initial concentration of 20 ppb). It was found that 94.2% of MC-LR removal was attributed to photodegradation, with the remaining 5.8% from adsorption. The rate coefficient of 20 ppb of MC-LR in the surface water sample (pH 6.0) was 0.06 min-1 likely due to the presence of other contaminates including scavenger agents within the sample which inhibits the degradation reaction of the MC-LR. Overall, this study demonstrated the potential for the novel Au/Ni-MOF to effectively reduce the concentration of the MC-LR toxin in the contaminated water.

Abstract
Synthetic porous materials continue to garner attention as platforms for solid-state chemistry and as designer heterogeneous catalysts. Applications in photochemistry and photocatalysis, however, are plagued by poor light harvesting efficiency due to light scattering resulting from sample microcrystallinity and poor optical penetration that arises from inner filter effects. Here we demonstrate the layer-by-layer growth of optically transparent, photochemically active thin films of porous salts. Films are grown by sequential deposition of cationic Zr-based porous coordination cages and anionic Mn porphyrins. Photolysis facilitates the efficient reduction of Mn(III) sites to Mn(II) sites, which can be observed in real-time by transmission UV-vis spectroscopy. Film porosity enables substrate access to the Mn(II) sites and facilitates reversible O2 activation in the solid state. These results establish optically transparent, porous salt thin films as versatile platforms for solid-state photochemistry and in operando spectroscopy.

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

Abstract
Recently, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and hybrids with biomaterial are broadly investigated for a variety of applications. In this work, a novel dual-phase MOF has been grown on bacterial cellulose (BC) as a biopolymer nano-fibrous film (Ni/Mn-MOF@BC), and nickel foam (Ni/Mn-MOF@NF) using a simple reflux method to explore their potential for photocatalyst and energy storage applications. The studies showed that the prepared Mn and Ni/Mn-MOFs display different structures. Besides, the growth of MOFs on BC substantially changed the morphology of the samples by reducing their micro sized scales to nanoparticles. The nanosized MOF particles grown on BC served as a visible-light photocatalytic material. Regarding the high surface area of BC and the synergistic effect of two metal ions, Ni/Mn-MOF@BC with a lower band gap demonstrates remarkable photocatalytic degradation efficiency (ca. 84% within 3 h) against methylene blue (MB) dye under visible light, and the catalyst retained 65% of its initial pollutant removal properties after four cycles of irradiation. Besides, MOF powders deposited on nickel foam have been utilized as highly capacitive electrochemical electrodes. There, Ni/Mn-MOF@NF electrode also possesses outstanding electrochemical properties, showing a specific capacitance of 2769 Fg-1 at 0.5 Ag-1, and capacity retention of 94% after 1000 cycles at 10 Ag-1.

Abstract
In this investigation, we have demonstrated the synthesis of lead-free CsSnBr3 (CSB) and 5 mol% bismuth (Bi) doped CSB (CSB'B) nanocrystals, with a stable cubic perovskite structure following a facile hot injection technique. The Bi substitution in CSB was found to play a vital role in reducing the size of the nanocrystals significantly, from 316 ± 93 to 87 ± 22 nm. Additionally, Bi doping has inhibited the oxidation of Sn2+ of CSB perovskite. A reduction in the optical band gap from 1.89 to 1.73 eV was observed for CSB'B and the PL intensity was quenched due to the introduction of the Bi3+ dopant. To demonstrate one of the visible-light-driven applications of the nanocrystals, photodegradation experiments were carried out as a test case. Interestingly, under UV-vis irradiation, the degradation efficiency of CSB'B was roughly one order lower than that of P25 titania nanoparticles; however, it was almost five times higher when driven by visible light under identical conditions. The water stability of CSB'B perovskite and suppression of the oxidative degradation of Sn were confirmed through XRD and XPS analyses after photocatalysis. Moreover, by employing experimental parameters, DFT-based first-principles calculations were performed, which demonstrated an excellent qualitative agreement between experimental and theoretical outcomes. The as-synthesized Bi-doped CSB might be a stable halide perovskite with potential in visible-light-driven applications.

Abstract
In this study, bismuth ferrite nanoparticles and metal-organic framework, Cu(BDC), were prepared by microwave-assisted combustion in solid state and ultrasound-assisted method, respectively. To enhance the properties of bismuth ferrite nanoparticles and Cu(BDC), we form them as their composite through microwave and ultrasonic probe strategies. Various analyses, including FT-IR, XRD, SEM, DRS, VSM, and so on, were applied to verify the synthesis accuracy. Then, the catalytic performances of the nanoparticles and the as-prepared nanocomposites were evaluated through photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange. Furthermore, the adsorption capacity of the as-synthesized materials was assessed toward the Congo red removal from wastewater. All the results prove that the proposed nanocomposite can be an acceptable candidate for eliminating contaminants from wastewater. The electrochemical properties of bismuth ferrite, BiFeO3/Cu(BDC) nanocomposite 1, and BiFeO3/Cu(BDC) nanocomposite 2 have been studied by cyclic voltammetry.

Abstract
Designing an inexpensive, easily synthesized, stable and efficient photocatalyst is a major challenge in photocatalysis area, especially when photo-reaction is performed in aquatic medium to degrade organic pollutants. To this aim, nano-sized MIL-101(Cr) (MIL = Materials Institute Lavoisier), as chemically tolerant metal-organic framework (MOF), was simply prepared via HF-free hydrothermal synthesis procedure. In order to decorate amorphous FeOOH quantum dots (QDs) on the surface of this MOF, various amounts of FeOOH QDs (i.e., 5, 10, 15 and 20 wt%) were synthesized in the presence of MIL-101(Cr) to prepare MIL-101(Cr)/FeOOH(x%) nanocomposites. Decoration of such iron oxide quantum dots on the surface of MIL-101(Cr) and investigation of its activity in photo-Fenton degradation of tetracycline (TC) antibiotic is reported here for the first time. Among the synthesized nanocomposites, MIL-101(Cr)/FeOOH(15%) demonstrated superior photo-Fenton activity in degradation of TC (80%) at short reaction time under optimum reaction condition using the energy-efficient white LED lamps as visible light source. It was observed that the synergy between any component of this photo-Fenton system such as nanocomposite, hydrogen peroxide and visible light is the main reason for enhancement of TC removal over time. Also, neither MIL-101(Cr) nor FeOOH QDs exhibited poor degradation efficiency, which implies the positive role of the coupling of these materials. Furthermore, the stability and recoverability of MIL-101(Cr)/FeOOH(15%) nanocomposite was investigated in four photo-Fenton cycles, which no significant decrease in TC degradation performance was observed.

[PMID: 37648167 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.139996] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2023] [Revised: 08/20/2023] [Accepted: 08/25/2023] [Indexed: 09/01/2023]
Abstract
In this work, we developed a thin membrane of boehmite-polyvinyl alcohol composite (BOPOM) (diameter ∼ 5 cm) grafted ZIF-67 combing sol-gel and in-situ growth methods. The fabricated materials were characterized using FT-IR, SEM, XRD, TGA, XPS, and N2 sorption techniques. Results indicate that ZIF-67 nanocrystals were well-grafted into the AlOOH-PVA matrix with reduced crystallite size. Furthermore, the decorated ZIF-67 offered additional porous structures and adsorption sites onto the membrane, enhancing their removal efficiency towards Cr6+ compared to the undecorated and pristine ZIF-67. At pH ∼5.5, the harvested ZIF-67/BOPOM exhibited the highest Cr6+ uptake capacity of ∼56.4 mg g-1. Kinetic studies showed that the chromium adsorption on the prepared materials obeyed the pseudo-second-order model, and the kinetic parameters followed the order ZIFF-67/BOPOM (0.020 mg g-1 min-1) > BOPOM (0.011 mg g-1 min-1) > ZIF-67 (0.006 mg g-1 min-1). Notably, the adsorption mechanism study revealed that adsorbed Cr6+ was reduced to Cr3+, and the reduction yield was boosted owing to grafting ZIF-67 into the BOPOM. In addition, the fabricated ZIF-67/BOPOM can simultaneously remove Cr6+ and methyl orange dye (MO) in the solution due to their synergetic effects on each other. Furthermore, the hybrid membrane ZIF-67/BOPOM showed a chromium removal efficiency of ∼78.2% after four successive adsorption-desorption cycles. This study indicates that grafting nanocrystals ZIF-67 onto the super-platform boehmite-PVA is a promising strategy to harvest an adsorbent with a high adsorption ability, cost-effectiveness, and reduced secondary pollution risks.

Abstract
The catalytic efficiency of photocatalysts highly depends on electron transport and mass transfer. Herein, we designed and prepared an effective H2WO4/Ti3C2/g-C3N4 (HTC) Z-scheme heterojunction through interfacial engineering strategy. The results manifested that 97.4% of Cr(VI) (80 μM, 50 mL) could be removed by HTC heterojunction within 10 min under visible light irradiation. The reduction rate constant of Cr(VI) for H2WO4/g-C3N4 (HC) heterojunction increased by a factor of 21 after introducing the conductive Ti3C2. Moreover, 96% of tetracycline (TC, 10 mg L-1, 50 mL) could be degraded by HTC heterojunction within 30 min. The electronic conductivity and ionic diffusion coefficient of HC heterojunction increased by a factor of 64 and 1064 after adding Ti3C2, respectively. This result indicated that the introduction of highly conductive Ti3C2 significantly improved the electron and mass transfer of the heterojunction. Meanwhile, the HCT heterojunction displayed favorable photocurrent, and keep excellent photostability during the long-term test. Moreover, density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrated that the internal electric field (IEF) from g-C3N4 to H2WO4 in HCT heterojunction promotes the combination of the photoinduced electrons in the H2WO4 conduction band (CB) with photoinduced holes in the g-C3N4 valence band (VB), thus accelerating the charge transfer in the HCT Z-scheme heterojunction. The antibacterial efficiency of HTC heterojunction against E. coli and S. aureus could reach up to 98.4% and 99.7%, respectively. The degradation intermediates and the potential degradation mechanism of TC were analyzed and proposed based on the results of HPLC-MS analysis. Moreover, the toxicity of TC and degradation intermediates were estimated by Toxicity Estimation Software (T.E.S.T.) based on quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR). This work provided a valuable guideline for designing the effective MXene-based Z-scheme heterojunction for environmental remediation.

Abstract
Heterostructured Ag@MOF-801/MIL-88A(Fe) nanocomposite was synthesized through template effects in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). MIL-88A(Fe) was fabricated on a MOF-801 template using the internal extended growth method (IEGM) via polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as the structure-director agent to create the MIL-88A(Fe)-on-MOF-801 heterostructure. The MOF-801/MIL-88A(Fe) heterostructure was used as a template for the formation of Ag nanoparticles (NPs) inside it via a double solvents method (DSM) combined with a photoreduction route (PR). To characterize synthesized samples to a high level of detail, PXRD, FT-IR, EDX, N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, TEM, DRS, PL, EIS, and Mott-Sckottky measurements were used. The resulting Ag@MOF-801/MIL-88A(Fe) nanocomposite demonstrated the highest photocatalytic activity of 91.72% for the degradation of Reactive Black 5, after 30 min under visible light irradiation.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are an exciting new class of porous materials with great potential for photocatalytic applications in the environmental and energy sectors. MOFs provide significant advantages over more traditional materials when used as photocatalysts due to their high surface area, adaptable topologies, and functional ability. In this article, we summarize current developments in the use of MOFs as photocatalysts for a variety of applications, such as CO2 reduction, water splitting, pollutant degradation, and hydrogen production. We discuss the fundamental properties of MOFs that make them ideal for photocatalytic applications, as well as strategies for improving their performance.

Abstract
The conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) into more valuable chemical compounds represents a critical objective for addressing environmental challenges and advancing sustainable energy sources. The CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR) holds promise for transforming CO2 into versatile feedstock materials and fuels. Leveraging first-principles methodologies provides a robust approach to evaluate catalysts and steer experimental efforts. In this study, we examine the CO2 RR process using a diverse array of representative cluster models derived from X-MOF-74 (where X encompasses Mg, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, or Zn) through first-principles methods. Notably, our investigation highlights the Fe-MOF-74 cluster's unique attributes, including favorable CO2 binding and the lowest limiting potential of the studied clusters for converting CO2 to methane (CH4 ) at 0.32 eV. Our analysis identified critical factors driving the selective CO2 RR pathway, enabling the formation CH4 on the Fe-MOF-74 cluster. These factors involve less favorable reduction of hydrogen to H2 and strong binding affinities between the Fe open-metal site and reduction intermediates, effectively curtailing desorption processes of closed-shell intermediates such as formic acid (HCOOH), formaldehyde (CH2 O), and methanol (CH3 OH), to lead to selective CH4 formation.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks constructed from Zr usually possess excellent chemical and physical stability. Therefore, they have become attractive platforms in various fields. In this work, two families of hybrid materials based on ZrSQU have been designed and synthesized, named Im@ZrSQU and Cu@ZrSQU, respectively. Im@ZrSQU was prepared through the impregnation method and employed for proton conduction. Im@ZrSQU exhibited terrific proton conduction performance in an anhydrous environment, with the highest proton conduction value of 3.6 × 10-2 S cm-1 at 110 °C. In addition, Cu@ZrSQU was synthesized via the photoinduction method for the photoreduction of CO2, which successfully promoted the conversion of CO2 into CO and achieved the CO generation rate of up to 12.4 μmol g-1 h-1. The photocatalytic performance of Cu@ZrSQU is derived from the synergistic effect of Cu NPs and ZrSQU. Based on an in-depth study and discussion toward ZrSQU, we provide a versatile platform with applications in the field of proton conduction and photocatalysis, which will guide researchers in their further studies.

Abstract
Contaminants in water pose a significant challenge as they are harmful and difficult to treat using conventional methods. Therefore, various new methods have been proposed to degrade organic pollutants in water, among which the photo-Fenton process is considered promising. In recent years, Fe-based metal-organic frameworks (Fe-MOFs) have gained attention and found applications in different fields due to their cost-effectiveness, non-toxic nature, and unique porous structure. Many researchers have applied Fe-MOFs to the photo-Fenton process in recent years and achieved good results. This review focuses on describing different strategies for enhancing the performance of Fe-MOFs in the photo-Fenton process. Also, the mechanism of MOF in the photo-Fenton process is described in detail. Finally, prospects for the application of Fe-MOFs in photo-Fenton systems for the treatment of organic pollutants in water are presented. This study provides information and ideas for researchers to use Fe-MOFs to remove organic pollutants from water by photo-Fenton process.

Abstract
As the mining industry spreads to new areas in the arctic regions, the need for re-useable efficient methods for mine chemicals' recycling increases. Especially in the case of xanthates, which are used as collectors for many metals from ore. Xanthates are very toxic to aquatic life either directly or indirectly and cause potentially severe health problems to humans after long-term exposure. In the present work, potassium ethyl xanthate (KEX) was observed to coordinate into metal organic frameworks (MOFs). HKUST-1 and its post-synthetically modified forms were observed to behave most effectively of the studied MOFs at low concentrations of KEX. Differences in the uptake of KEX were detected regarding the synthesis method in the case of MIL-100(Fe) synthetized by solvothermal and mechanochemical methods. Other studied MOFs, UiO-66 and MIL-100(Al)/MIL-96(Al), were not observed to be effective in KEX uptake.

Abstract
The heavy metal contamination of water systems has become a major environmental concern worldwide. Photocatalysis using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has emerged as a promising approach for heavy metal remediation, owing to the ability of MOFs to fully degrade contaminants through redox reactions that are driven by photogenerated charge carriers. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of recent developments in MOF-based photocatalysts for removing and decontaminating heavy metals from water. The tunable nature of MOFs allows the rational design of composition and features to enhance light harvesting, charge separation, pollutant absorptivity, and photocatalytic activities. Key strategies employed include metal coordination tuning, organic ligand functionalization, heteroatom doping, plasmonic nanoparticle incorporation, defect engineering, and morphology control. The mechanisms involved in the interactions between MOF photocatalysts and heavy metal contaminants are discussed, including light absorption, charge carrier separation, metal ion adsorption, and photocatalytic redox reactions. The review highlights diverse applications of MOF photocatalysts in treating heavy metals such as lead, mercury, chromium, cadmium, silver, arsenic, nickel, etc. in water remediation. Kinetic modeling provides vital insights into the complex interplay between coupled processes such as adsorption and photocatalytic degradation that influence treatment efficiency. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is also crucial for evaluating the sustainability of MOF-based technologies. By elucidating the latest advances, current challenges, and future opportunities, this review provides insights into the potential of MOF-based photocatalysts as a sustainable technology for addressing the critical issue of heavy metal pollution in water systems. Ongoing efforts are needed to address the issues of stability, recyclability, scalable synthesis, and practical reactor engineering.

Abstract
In the present day, the incorporation of environmentally conscious practices in the realm of photocatalysis holds a prominent position within the domain of organic synthesis. The imperative to tackle environmental issues linked to catalysts that cannot be recycled, generation of waste, byproducts, and challenges in achieving reaction selectivity during organic synthesis are more crucial than ever. One potential solution involves the integration of recyclable nanomaterials with light as a catalyst, offering the possibility of achieving sustainable and atom-efficient transformations in organic synthesis. Metal oxide nanoparticles exhibit activation capabilities under UV light, constituting a small percentage (4-8%) of sunlight. However, this method lacks sufficient environmental friendliness, and the issue of electron-hole recombination poses a significant hurdle. To tackle these challenges, multiple approaches have been proposed. This comprehensive review article focuses on the efficacy of dyes in enhancing the capabilities of heterogeneous photocatalysts, offering a promising avenue to overcome the constraints associated with metal oxides in their role as photocatalysts. The article delves into the intricate design aspects of dye-sensitized photocatalysts and sheds light on their mechanisms in facilitating organic transformations.

Abstract
A significant amount of research has been conducted on the development and application of photocatalytic materials for the visible light degradation of organic pollutants in wastewater. However, most pollutant degradation studies are conducted using simulated wastewater often prepared using DI water. This is far removed from the realities of environmentally relevant water systems. It is therefore important to investigate the activity of these semiconductor materials with real water samples. In this study, the photocatalytic activity of the photocatalyst was investigated in the secondary effluent of a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in Pretoria, South Africa, for the degradation of phenol under visible light irradiation. The experimental design was done using the Taguchi method L16 orthogonal tray with three factors (pH, initial phenol concentration, and photocatalyst dosage) and four levels. The results show that pH is the highest-ranked significant factor influencing the degradation rate, closely followed by the initial concentration of the pollutant. The photocatalyst dosage had the least significant impact on degradation. The effects of individual anion components such as Cl-, NO3-, NO2-, SO42- and cations such as Ca2+, Mg2+, Zn2+, and K+ were investigated. While Cl- did not negatively influence the degradation rate, the results show that NO3- and SO42- inhibit the degradation of phenol. More specifically, the presence of nitrites resulted in total impeding of the degradation process illustrating that nitrite concentrations ≥ 20 ppm should be removed from wastewater prior to photocatalytic degradation. The cations investigated promoted the degradation of phenol. Generally, there was enhanced degradation in the water matrix when compared to DI water, and the results revealed improved degradation efficiency due to the cumulative impact of various components of the wastewater.

Abstract
A novel photo-Fenton catalyst α-Fe2O3@g-C3N4@NH2-MIL-101(Fe) (FGN) with dual Z-scheme heterojunction was successfully prepared by hydrothermal method to degrade tetracycline (TC). The preparation conditions were optimized by orthogonal test, and the successful synthesis was confirmed by characterization analyses. The prepared FGN showed better light absorption performance, higher photoelectrons-holes separation efficiency, lower photoelectrons transfer resistance, and higher specific surface area and pore capacity compared with α-Fe2O3@g-C3N4 and α-Fe2O3. The effects of experimental conditions on the catalytic degradation of TC were investigated. The degradation rate of 10 mg/L TC could reach 98.33% within 2 h when the dosage of FGN was 200 mg/L, and the degradation rate could remain 92.27% after 5 times of reuse. Furthermore, the XRD spectra and XPS spectra of FGN before and after reuse were compared to explore the structural stability and catalytic active sites of FGN, respectively. According to the identification of oxidation intermediates, three degradation pathways of TC were proposed. Through H2O2 consumption experiment, radical-scavenging experiments, EPR results, the mechanism of the dual Z-scheme heterojunction was proved. The improved performance of FGN was attributed to the dual Z-Scheme heterojunction effectively promoting the separation of photogenerated electrons from the holes and accelerating the electrons transfer, and the increase of the specific surface area.

Abstract
Transition metal-based heterostructural materials are a class of very promising substitutes for noble metal-based catalysts for high-performance catalysis, due to their inherent internal electric field at the interface in the heterojunctions, which could induce electron relocalization and facilitate charge carrier migration between different metal sites at heterostructural boundaries. However, redox-active metal species suffer from reduction, oxidation, migration, aggregation, leaching and poisoning in catalysis, which results in heavy deterioration of the catalytic properties of transition metal-based heterojunctions and frustrates their practical applications. To improve the stability of transition metal-based heterojunctions and sufficiently expose redox-active sites at the heterosurfaces, many kinds of porous materials have been used as porous hosts for the stabilization of non-precious metal heterojunctions. This review article will discuss recently developed strategies for encapsulation and stabilization of transition metal heterojunctions inside porous materials, and highlight their improved stability and catalytic performance through the spatial confinement effect and synergistic interaction between the heterojunctions and the host matrices.

Abstract
A new Ni coordination polymer [Ni(MIP)(BMIOPE)]n (1) was constructed (BMIOPE = 4,4'-bis(2-methylimidazol-1-yl)diphenyl ether, and H2MIP = 5-methylisophthalic acid), possessing two-dimensional (2D) twofold parallel interwoven net structure with a 44∙62 point symbol. Complex 1 has been successfully obtained based on mixed-ligand strategy. The fluorescence titration experiments revealed that complex 1 could act as multifunctional luminescent sensor to simultaneously detect UO22+, Cr2O72- and CrO42-, and NFT (nitrofurantoin). The limit of detection (LOD) values for complex 1 are 2.86 × 10-5, 4.09 × 10-5, 3.79 × 10-5 and 9.32 × 10-5 M for UO22+, Cr2O72-, CrO42- and NFT. The Ksv values are 6.18 × 103, 1.44 × 104, 1.27 × 104 and 1.51 × 104 M-1 for NFT, CrO42-, Cr2O72- and UO22+. Finally, the mechanism of its luminescence sensing is studied in detail. These results manifest that complex 1 is a multifunctional sensor for sensitive fluorescent UO22+, Cr2O72-, CrO42- and NFT detection.

Abstract
Selectively regulating active factors in photocatalytic reactions by designing materials is one of the very important factors. Herein, we prepared spindle-like core-shell Ag@NH2-MIL-88B composites (Ag@NM-88) by a two-step hydrothermal method. The as-prepared Ag@NM-88 displayed superior photocatalytic activity for Cr(VI) reduction under LED light, compared with the activities of pure NH2-MIL-88B (NM-88) and Ag/NM-88 (Ag was deposited on NH2-MIL-88B). The core-shell structure Ag@NM-88 was not only beneficial to the absorption of light but also beneficial to the separation of photogenerated e- and h+. More importantly, it was further confirmed by active radical capture experiments and nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) conversion experiments that the design of the core-shell structure could effectively prevent photogenerated e- from combing with O2 to form •O2-, so that photogenerated e- directly reduced Cr(VI), thereby improving the reaction rate. In addition, it could still maintain good stability after 5 cycles, indicating that the construction of a core-shell structure is also conducive to improving stability. This work provides a strategy for selectively regulating the active components of photocatalysts, and provides new insights into the relationship between interfacial charge transfer and molecular oxygen activation in photocatalytic reduction Cr(VI) systems.

Abstract
The semiconductors have exhibited great potential in the field of photocatalytic energy production, environmental remediation and bactericidal. Nevertheless, those inorganic semiconductors are still restricted in commercial application due to the drawbacks of easy agglomeration and low solar energy conversion efficiency. Herein, ellagic acid (EA) based metal-organic complexes (MOCs) were synthesized through a facile stirring process at room temperature with Fe3+, Bi3+ and Ce3+ as the metal center. The EA-Fe photocatalyst exhibited superior photocatalytic activity toward Cr(VI) reduction, where Cr(VI) were completely removed within 20 min. Meanwhile, EA-Fe also displayed good photocatalytic degradation of organic contaminants and photocatalytic bactericidal performance. The photodegradation rates of TC and RhB by EA-Fe were 15 and 5 times that by bare EA, respectively. Moreover, EA-Fe was capable of effectively eliminating both E. coli and S. aureus bacteria. It was found that EA-Fe was capable of generating superoxide radicals, which could participate in the reduction of heavy metals, degradation of organic contaminants and inactivation of bacteria. A photocatalysis-self-Fenton system could be established by EA-Fe solely. This work would provide a new insight for designing multifunctional MOCs with high photocatalytic efficiency.

Abstract
Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have gained remarkable interest in water treatment due to their fascinating characteristics, such as tunable functionality, large specific surface area, customizable pore size and porosity, and good chemical and thermal stability. However, MOF particles tend to easily agglomerate in nanoscale, thus decreasing their activity and processing convenience. It is necessary to shape MOF nanocrystals into maneuverable structures. The in situ growth or ex situ incorporation of MOFs into inexpensive and abundant cellulose-family materials can be effective strategies for the stabilization of these MOF species, and therefore can make available a range of enhanced properties that expand the industrial application possibilities of cellulose and MOFs. This paper provides a review of studies on recent advances in the application of multi-dimensional MOF-cellulose composites (e.g., aerogels, membranes, and bulk materials) in wastewater remediation (e.g., metals, dyes, drugs, antibiotics, pesticides, and oils) and water regeneration by adsorption, photo- or chemocatalysis, and membrane separation strategies. The advantages brought about by combining MOFs and cellulose are described, and the performance of MOF-cellulose is described and compared to its counterparts. The mechanisms of relative MOF-cellulose materials in processing aquatic pollutants are included. Existing challenges and perspectives for future research are proposed.
