Abstract
Significant progress has been made in designing advanced membranes; however, persistent challenges remain due to their reduced permeation rates and a propensity for substantial fouling. These factors continue to pose significant barriers to the effective utilization of membranes in the separation of oil-in-water emulsions. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are considered promising materials for such applications; however, they encounter three key challenges when applied to the separation of oil from water: (a) lack of water stability; (b) difficulty in producing defect-free membranes; and (c) unresolved issue of stabilizing the MOF separating layer on the ceramic membrane (CM) support. In this study, a defect-free hydrolytically stable zirconium-based MOF separating layer was formed through a two-step method: first, by in situ growth of UiO-66-NH2 MOF into the voids of polydopamine (PDA)-functionalized CM during the solvothermal process, and then by facilitating the self-assembly of UiO-66-NH2 with PDA using a pressurized dead-end assembly. A stable MOF separating layer was attained by enriching the ceramic support with amines and hydroxyl groups using PDA, which assisted in the assembly and stabilization of UiO-66-NH2. The PDA-s-UiO-66-NH2-CM membrane displayed air superhydrophilicity and underwater superoleophobicity, demonstrating its oil resistance and high antifouling behavior. The PDA-s-UiO-66-NH2-CM membrane has shown exceptionally high permeability and separation capacity for challenging oil-in-water emulsions. This is attributed to numerous nanochannels from the membrane and its high resistance to oil adhesion. The membranes showed excellent stability over 15 continuous test cycles, which indicates that the developed MOFs separating layers have a low tendency to be clogged by oil droplets during separation. Machine learning-based Gaussian process regression (GPR) models as nonparametric kernel-based probabilistic models were employed to predict the performance efficiency of the PDA-s-UiO-66-NH2-CM membrane in oil-in-water separation. The outcomes were compared with the support vector machine (SVM) and decision tree (DT) algorithm. This efficiency includes various metrics related to its separation accuracy, and the models were developed through feature engineering to identify and utilize the most significant factors affecting the membrane's performance. The results proved the reliability of GPR optimization with the highest prediction accuracy in the validation phase. The average percentage increase of the GPR model compared to the SVM and DT model was 6.11 and 42.94%, respectively.

Abstract
In this work, a novel fluorescence sensor UiO-66-PSM based on post-synthetic modified metal-organic frameworks was prepared for the detection of berberine hydrochloride (BBH) in the traditional Chinese herb Coptis. UiO-66-PSM was synthesized by a simple Schiff base reaction with UiO-66-NH2 and phthalaldehyde (PAD). The luminescence quenching can be attributed to the photo-induced electron transfer process from the ligand of UiO-66-PSM to BBH. The UiO-66-PSM sensor exhibited fast response time, low detection limit, and high selectivity to BBH. Moreover, the UiO-66-PSM sensor was successfully applied to the quantitative detection of BBH in the traditional Chinese herb Coptis, and the detection results obtained from the as-fabricated fluorescence sensing assay were consistent with those of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), indicating that this work has potential applicability for the detection of BBH in traditional Chinese herbs.

Abstract
While thin-film composite (TFC) polyamide (PA) membranes are advanced for removing salts and trace organic contaminants (TrOCs) from water, TFC PA membranes encounter a water permeance-selectivity trade-off due to PA layer structural characteristics. Drawing inspiration from the excellent water permeance and solute rejection of natural biological channels, the development of analogous artificial water channels (AWCs) in TFC PA membranes (abbreviated as AWCM) promises to achieve superior mass transfer efficiency, enabling breaking the upper bound of water permeance and selectivity. Herein, we first discussed the types and structural characteristics of AWCs, followed by summarizing the methods for constructing AWCM. We discussed whether the AWCs acted as the primary mass transfer channels in AWCM and emphasized the important role of the AWCs in water transport and ion/TrOCs rejection. We thoroughly summarized the molecular-level mechanisms and structure-performance relationship of water molecules, ions, and TrOCs transport in the confined nanospace of AWCs, which laid the foundation for illustrating the enhanced water permeance and salt/TrOCs selectivity of AWCM. Finally, we discussed the challenges encountered in the field of AWCM and proposed future perspectives for practical applications. This review is expected to offer guidance for understanding the transport mechanisms of AWCM and developing next-generation membrane for effective water treatment.

Abstract
Poor interfacial compatibility remains a pressing challenge in the fabrication of high-performance polymer-MOF composites. In response, introducing compatible chemistries such as a carboxylic acid moiety has emerged as a compelling strategy to increase polymer-MOF interactions. In this work, we leveraged compatible functionalities in UiO-66-NH2 and a carboxylic acid-functionalized PIM-1 to fabricate mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) with improved separation performance compared to PIM-1-based MMMs in industrially relevant conditions. Under pure-gas conditions, PIM-COOH-based MMMs retained selectivity with increasing MOF loading and showed increased permeability due to increased diffusion. The composites were further investigated under industrially relevant conditions, including CO2/N2, CO2/CH4, and H2S/CO2/CH4 mixtures, to elucidate the effects of competitive sorption and plasticization. Incorporation of UiO-66-NH2 in PIM-COOH and PIM-1 mitigated the effects of CO2- and H2S-induced plasticization typically observed in linear polymers. In CO2-based binary mixed-gas tests, all samples showed similar performance as that in pure-gas tests, with minimal competitive sorption contributions associated with the amine functional groups of the MOF. In ternary mixed-gas tests, improved plasticization resistance and interfacial compatibility resulted in PIM-COOH-based MMMs having the highest H2S/CH4 and CO2/CH4 selectivity combinations among the films tested in this study. These findings demonstrate that selecting MOFs and polymers with compatible functional groups is a useful strategy in developing high-performing microporous MMMs that require stability under complex and industrially relevant conditions.

Abstract
UiO-66-NH2 -IM, a fluorescent metal-organic framework (MOF), was synthesized by post-synthetic modification of UiO-66-NH2 with 2-imidazole carboxaldehyde via a Schiff base reaction. It was examined using various characterization techniques (PXRD, FTIR, NMR, SEM, TGA, UV-Vis DRS, and photoluminescence spectroscopy). The emissive feature of UiO-66-NH2 -IM was utilized to detect volatile organic compounds (VOCs), metal ions, and anions, such as acetone, Fe3+ , and carbonate (CO3 2- ). Acetone turns off the high luminescence of UiO-66-NH2 -IM in DMSO, with the limit of detection (LOD) being 3.6 ppm. Similarly, Fe3+ in an aqueous medium is detected at LOD=0.67 μM (0.04 ppm) via quenching. On the contrary, CO3 2- in an aqueous medium significantly enhances the luminescence of UiO-66-NH2 -IM, which is detected with extremely high sensitivity (LOD=1.16 μM, i. e., 0.07 ppm). Large Stern-Volmer constant, Ksv , and low LOD values indicate excellent sensitivity of the post-synthetic MOF. Experimental data supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations discern photo-induced electron transfer (PET), resonance energy transfer (RET), inner filter effect (IFE), or proton abstraction as putative sensing mechanisms. NMR and computational studies propose a proton abstraction mechanism for luminescence enhancement with CO3 2- . Moreover, the optical behavior of the post-synthetic material toward analytes is recyclable.

Abstract
The present study describes the trace analysis of 23 fluorinated aromatic carboxylic acids based on the dispersive solid-phase extraction (dSPE) technique using UiO-66-NH2 MOF as efficient, recyclable sorbent, and GC-MS negative ionization mass spectrometry (NICI MS) as determination technique. All 23 fluorobenzoic acids (FBAs) were enriched, separated, and eluted in a shorter retention time; the derivatization was done by pentafluorobenzyl bromide (1% in acetone), in which the use of inorganic base K2CO3 was improved by triethylamine to increase the lifespan of the GC column. The performance of UiO-66-NH2 was evaluated by dSPE in Milli-Q water, artificial seawater, and tap water samples, and the impact of various parameters on the extraction efficiency was investigated by GC-NICI MS. The method was found to be precise, reproducible, and applicable to the seawater samples. In the linearity range, the regression value was found to be >0.98; LOD and LOQ were found to be in the range of 0.33-1.17 ng/mL and 1.23-3.33 ng/mL, respectively; and the value of the extraction efficiency was found to range between 98.45 and 104.39% for Milli-Q water samples, 69.13-105.48% for salt-rich seawater samples, and 92.56-103.50% for tap water samples with a maximum RSD value of 6.87% that confirms the applicability of the method to different water matrices.

Abstract
In this work, we prepared a novel electrochemical sensor for the detection of tramadol based on a UiO-66-NH2 metal-organic framework (UiO-66-NH2 MOF)/third-generation poly(amidoamine) dendrimer (G3-PAMAM dendrimer) nanocomposite drop-cast onto a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) surface. After the synthesis of the nanocomposite, the functionalization of the UiO-66-NH2 MOF by G3-PAMAM was confirmed by various techniques including X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The UiO-66-NH2 MOF/PAMAM-modified GCE exhibited commendable electrocatalytic performance toward the tramadol oxidation owing to the integration of the UiO-66-NH2 MOF with the PAMAM dendrimer. According to differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), it was possible to detect tramadol under optimized circumstances in a broad concentration range (0.5 μM-500.0 μM) and a narrow limit of detection (0.2 μM). In addition, the stability, repeatability, and reproducibility of the presented UiO-66-NH2 MOF/PAMAM/GCE sensor were also studied. The sensor also possessed an acceptable catalytic behavior for the tramadol determination in the co-existence of acetaminophen, with the separated oxidation potential of ΔE = 410 mV. Finally, the UiO-66-NH2 MOF/PAMAM-modified GCE exhibited satisfactory practical ability in pharmaceutical formulations (tramadol tablets and acetaminophen tablets).

Abstract
The scarcity of freshwater resources is a major global challenge causedby population and economic growth. Water desalination using a reverse osmosis (RO) membrane is a promising technology to supply potable water from seawater and brackish water. The advancement of RO desalination highly depends on new membrane materials. Currently, the RO technology mainly relies on polyamide thin-film composite (TFC) membranes, which suffer from several drawbacks (e.g., low water permeability, permeability-selectivity tradeoff, and low fouling resistance) that hamper their real-world applications. Nanoscale fillers with specific characteristics can be used to improve the properties of TFC membranes. Embedding nanofillers into TFC membranes using interfacial polymerization allows the creation of thin-film nanocomposite (TFNC) membranes, and has become an emerging strategy in the fabrication of high-performance membranes for advanced RO water desalination. To achieve optimal design, it is indispensable to search for reliable methods that can provide fast and accurate predictions of the structural and transport properties of the TFNC membranes. However, molecular understanding of permeability-selectivity characteristics of nanofillers remains limited, partially due to the challenges in experimentally exploring microscopic behaviors of water and salt ions in confinement. Molecular modeling and simulations can fill this gap by generating molecular-level insights into the effects of nanofillers' characteristics (e.g., shape, size, surface chemistry, and density) on water permeability and ion selectivity. In this review, we summarize molecular simulations of a diverse range of nanofillers including nanotubes (carbon nanotubes, boron nitride nanotubes, and aquaporin-mimicking nanochannels) and nanosheets (graphene, graphene oxide, boron nitride sheets, molybdenum disulfide, metal and covalent organic frameworks) for water desalination applications. These simulations reveal that water permeability and salt rejection, as the major factors determining the desalination performance of TFNC membranes, significantly depend on the size, topology, density, and chemical modifications of the nanofillers. Identifying their influences and the physicochemical processes behind, via molecular modeling, is expected to yield important insights for the fabrication and optimization of the next generation high-performance TFNC membranes for RO water desalination.

Abstract
Polyamide (PA) reverse osmosis and nanofiltration membranes have been applied widely for desalination and wastewater reuse in the last 5-10 years. A novel thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) membrane featuring a nanomaterial interlayer (TFNi) has emerged in recent years and attracted the attention of researchers. The novel TFNi membranes are prepared from different nanomaterials and with different loading methods. The choices of intercalated nanomaterials, substrate layers and loading methods are based on the object to be treated. The introduction of nanostructured interlayers improves the formation of the PA separation layer and provides ultrafast water molecule transport channels. In this manner, the TFNi membrane mitigates the trade-off between permeability and selectivity reported for polyamide composite membranes. In addition, TFNi membranes enhance the removal of metal ions and organics and the recovery of organic solvents during nanofiltration and reverse osmosis, which is critical for environmental ecology and industrial applications. This review provides statistics and analyzes the developments in TFNi membranes over the last 5-10 years. The latest research results are reviewed, including the selection of the substrate and interlayer materials, preparation methods, specific application areas and more advanced characterization methods. Mechanistic aspects are analyzed to encourage future research, and potential mechanisms for industrialization are discussed.

Abstract
Membrane-based separations have garnered considerable attention owing to their high energy efficiency, low capital cost, small carbon footprint, and continuous operation mode. As a class of highly porous crystalline materials with well-defined pore systems and rich chemical functionalities, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have demonstrated great potential as promising membrane materials over the past few years. Different types of MOF-based membranes, including polycrystalline membranes, mixed matrix membranes (MMMs), and nanosheet-based membranes, have been developed for diversified applications with remarkable separation performances. In this comprehensive review, we first discuss the general classification of membranes and outline the historical development of MOF-based membranes. Subsequently, particular attention is devoted to design strategies for MOF-based membranes, along with detailed discussions on the latest advances on these membranes for various gas and liquid separation processes. Finally, challenges and future opportunities for the industrial implementation of these membranes are identified and outlined with the intent of providing insightful guidance on the design and fabrication of high-performance membranes in the future.

Abstract
The UiO-66-NH2 aerogel has been designed to remove As(III) and As(V) in the full pH range with a long lifetime. The efficiency of the aerogel for trace removal from river water samples at the sub-ppb level has been demonstrated. The feasibility for practical uses has been evaluated by breakthrough experiments operated at a liquid hourly space velocity (LHSV) of 38 h-1 using a real water sample with a significant capacity of 284 mg g-1. The UiO-66-NH2 aerogel provides a lifetime of over 600 min, which is one of the highest lifetimes among the reported adsorbents for arsenic decontamination.

Abstract
Thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) membranes with efficient molecular separation and organic solvent resistance are active in demand in wastewater treatment and resource reclamation, meeting the goal of emission peaks and carbon neutrality. In this work, a simple and rational design strategy has been employed to construct a sandwich-structured membrane for removing fluoroquinolone antibiotics and recycling organic solvents. The sandwich-structured membrane is composed of a porous substrate, a hydrophilic tannic acid-polyethyleneimine (TA-PEI) interlayer, and a polyamide (PA) selective layer decorated with metal-organic framework (PA-MOF). Results manifest that the hydrophilic TA-PEI interlayer played a bridging and gutter effect to achieve effective control in amide storage, amine diffusion, and nanomaterial downward leakage at the immiscible interface. The PA-MOF selective layer has been changed to a loosely crumpled surface, endowing functionalities on the sandwich-structured membrane that included limited pores, strengthened electronegativity, and stronger hydrophilicity. Thus, an enhanced water flux of 87.23 ± 7.43 LMH was achieved by the TFN-2 membrane (0.04 mg·mL-1 UiO-66-NH2), which is more than five times that of the thin-film composite membrane (17.46 ± 3.88 LMH). The rejection against norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and levofloxacin is 92.94 ± 1.60%, 94.62 ± 1.29%, and 96.92 ± 1.05%, respectively, effectively breaking through the "trade-off" effect between membrane permeability and rejection efficiency. Further antifouling results showed that the sandwich-structured membrane had lower flux decay ratios (3.36∼7.07%) and higher flux recovery ratios (93.40∼98.40%), as well as superior long-term stability after 30 days of filtration. Moreover, organic solvent resistance testing confirms that the sandwich-structured membrane maintained stable solvent flux and better recovery rates in ethanol, acetone, isopropanol, and N,N-dimethylformamide. Detailed nanofiltration mechanism studies revealed that these outstanding performances are based on the joint effect of the TA-PEI interlayer and PA-MOF selective layer, proposing a new perspective to break through the bottleneck of nanofiltration application in a complex environment.

Abstract
In this study, a porous nanocontainer from UiO-66-NH2/CNTs nanocomposite with an excellent barrier characteristics was constructed through amine-functionalized Zr-based metal organic framework. The characterization of the prepared nano-materials were performed using different analyses such as FTIR, XRD, SEM, EDS, TEM, and BET and the results proved the successful synthesize of UiO-66-NH2/CNTs nanocomposite. The corrosion protection performance of the coated panels was investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), salt spray, and contact angle measurement. The EIS results revealed that unmodified and UiO-66-NH2 containing coating in 3.5 wt.% NaCl electrolyte were failed after 45 days but the corrosion was negligible in UiO-66-NH2/CNTs coating due to high pore resistance values even after 45 days. Salt spray and contact angle measurements confirmed that UiO-66-NH2/CNTs containing coating acts as an efficient barrier against wet saline environment even at long exposure times. This is attributed to uniform dispersion in the epoxy matrix and formation of a uniform nanocomposite coating.

Abstract
Biological ion channels feature angstrom-scale asymmetrical cavity structures, which are the key to achieving highly efficient separation and sensing of alkali metal ions from aqueous resources. The clean energy future and lithium-based energy storage systems heavily rely on highly efficient ionic separations. However, artificial recreation of such a sophisticated biostructure has been technically challenging. Here, a highly tunable design concept is introduced to fabricate monovalent ion-selective membranes with asymmetric sub-nanometer pores in which energy barriers are implanted. The energy barriers act against ionic movements, which hold the target ion while facilitating the transport of competing ions. The membrane consists of bilayer metal-organic frameworks (MOF-on-MOF), possessing a 6 to 3.4-angstrom passable cavity structure. The ionic current measurements exhibit an unprecedented ionic current rectification ratio of above 100 with exceptionally high selectivity ratios of 84 and 80 for K+ /Li+ and Na+ / Li+ , respectively (1.14 Li+ mol m-2 h-1 ). Furthermore, using quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics, it is shown that the combined effect of spatial hindrance and nucleophilic entrapment to induce energy surge baffles is responsible for the membrane's ultrahigh selectivity and ion rectification. This work demonstrates a striking advance in developing monovalent ion-selective channels and has implications in sensing, energy storage, and separation technologies.

Abstract
Owing to the specific porous structure which could provide additional passage channel for some molecules, metal organic frameworks are attractive candidates for enhancing permeability and selectivity of membranes in pervaporation, reverse osmosis, and gas separation. In this experiment, Ag@UiO-66-NH2 was introduced into polyamide separation layer by interfacial polymerization of triethylenetetramine and 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid chloride for nanofiltration. The results indicated that Ag@UiO-66-NH2 nanoparticles did endow the membranes with rapid diffusion pathways for water molecules. When the content of Ag@UiO-66-NH2 was 0.03 g, the prepared membrane (NF-Ag-3) showed high flux about 47.3 L·m-2·h-1 at 0.6 MPa, which is about 2-fold higher than that of polyamide membrane without Ag@UiO-66-NH2, while the MgSO4 rejection rate remained about 87.4%. The membrane also showed excellent antifouling properties, and the water flux recovery ratio was 95.6% after filtration BSA solution. When it was applied for 50 mg/L bisphenol A removal, the rejection rate reached 94.6%, and the flux is about 49.1 L·m-2·h-1. Moreover, Ag particles on UiO-66-NH2 rendered the membrane with good inhibition for Escherichia coli. The antibacterial rate of the membranes is above 95% when the loading of Ag@UiO-66-NH2 is more than 0.03 g.

Abstract
Novel high-quality thin film nanocomposite (TFN) membranes for enhanced forward osmosis (FO) were first synthesized through organic phase controlled interfacial polymerization by utilizing functional multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). As 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) grafted MWCNTs via an amidation reaction significantly promoted the dispersion in organic solution, MWCNTs-APTES with better compatibility effectively restricted the penetration of trimesoyl chloride (TMC), thus adjusting the morphology and characters of TFN membranes. Various techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscope (SEM), sessile droplet analysis and FO experiments and reverse osmosis (RO) operation were taken to characterize and evaluate the performance of nanocomposites and membranes. The prepared TFN FO membranes exhibited good hydrophilicity and separation efficiency, in which water flux was about twice those of thin film composite (TFC) membranes without MWCNTs-APTES in both AL-DS and AL-FS modes. Compared with the original TFC membrane, the membrane structural parameter of the novel TFN FO membrane sharply was cut down to 60.7%. Based on the large number of low mass-transfer resistance channels provided by functional nanocomposites, the progresses may provide a facile approach to fabricate novel TFN FO membranes with advanced selectivity and permeability.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) materials have received extensive attention for the design of advanced thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) membranes with excellent permselectivity. However, the relationship between the unique physicochemical properties and performance of engineered MOF-based membranes has yet to be extensively investigated. In this work, we investigate the incorporation of porous zinc-based MOFs (Zn-MOFs) into a polyamide active layer for the fabrication of TFN membranes on porous poly(phenylsulfone) (PPSU) support layers through an interfacial polymerization approach. The actual effects of varying the amount of Zn-MOF added as a nanofiller on the physicochemical properties and desalination performance of TFN membranes are studied. The presence and layout of Zn-MOFs on the top layer of the membranes were confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and ζ potential analysis. The characterization results revealed that Zn-MOFs strongly bind with polyamide and significantly change the membrane chemistry and morphology. The results indicate that all four studied TFN membranes with incorporated Zn-MOFs enhanced the water permeability while retaining high salt rejection compared to a thin-film composite membrane. Moreover, the highest-performing membrane (50 mg/L Zn-MOF added nanofiller) not only exhibited a water permeability of 2.46 ± 0.12 LMH/bar but also maintained selectivity to reject NaCl (>90%) and Na2SO4 (>95%), similar to benchmark values. Furthermore, the membranes showed outstanding water stability throughout 72 h filtration and chlorine resistance after a 264 h chlorine-soaking test because of the better compatibility between the polyamide and Zn-MOF nanofiller. Therefore, the developed TFN membrane has potential to solve trade-off difficulties between permeability and selectivity. Our findings indicate that porous Zn-MOFs play a significant role in the development of a TFN membrane with high desalination performance and chlorine resistance.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2021; 14:3366. [PMID: 34204567 PMCID: PMC8233894 DOI: 10.3390/ma14123366] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2021] [Revised: 06/11/2021] [Accepted: 06/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Membrane separation technology can used to capture carbon dioxide from flue gas. However, plenty of research has been focused on the flat sheet mixed matrix membrane rather than the mixed matrix thin film hollow fiber membranes. In this work, mixed matrix thin film hollow fiber membranes were fabricated by incorporating amine functionalized UiO-66 nanoparticles into the Pebax® 2533 thin selective layer on the polypropylene (PP) hollow fiber supports via dip-coating process. The attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) mapping analysis, and thermal analysis (TGA-DTA) were used to characterize the synthesized UiO-66-NH2 nanoparticles. The morphology, surface chemistry, and the gas separation performance of the fabricated Pebax® 2533-UiO-66-NH2/PP mixed matrix thin film hollow fiber membranes were characterized by using SEM, ATR-FTIR, and gas permeance measurements, respectively. It was found that the surface morphology of the prepared membranes was influenced by the incorporation of UiO-66 nanoparticles. The CO2 permeance increased along with an increase of UiO-66 nanoparticles content in the prepared membranes, while the CO2/N2 ideal gas selectively firstly increased then decreased due to the aggregation of UiO-66 nanoparticles. The Pebax® 2533-UiO-66-NH2/PP mixed matrix thin film hollow fiber membranes containing 10 wt% UiO-66 nanoparticles exhibited the CO2 permeance of 26 GPU and CO2/N2 selectivity of 37.

Flexible and hierarchical metal-organic framework composite as solid-phase media for facile affinity-tip fabrication to selectively enrich glycopeptides and phosphopeptides. Talanta 2021; 233:122576. [PMID: 34215068 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2021.122576] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2021] [Revised: 05/28/2021] [Accepted: 05/29/2021] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
Micro-tip-based solid-phase microextraction is considered as one of the green and powerful analytical sample preparation techniques, but its efficiency is severely hampered by some basic issues such as tedious fabrication, instability of sorbent bed, and blocking of the tip, especially for biological samples due to low permeability. These issues are tackled by introducing a flexible and hierarchical substrate in the microtip, having good mechanical strength and specific functionality to capture the desired biomolecules. Considering the well-ordered and flexible structure of melamine foam, it was used as a substrate and for hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC). Metal-organic framework, due to its excellent characteristics, was grafted on its surface anchored by self-assembling polydopamine. The resulting material was characterized and packed in the tip by just pressing the material in the conical structure of the tip. This affinity tip established good and tunable permeability and was used to selectively enrich glycopeptides as well as phosphopeptides. The affinity tip demonstrated excellent performance to enrich glycopeptides and phosphopeptides with a low limit of detection up to 0.5 fmol μL-1 from tryptic digests of horseradish peroxidase and β-Casein, respectively, and was stable up to 5 rounds of enrichment. Moreover, this affinity-tip also exhibited high selectivity up to up to 1:1000 (HRP digest to BSA digest) for glycopeptides and 1:200 (β-Casein digest to BSA digest) for phosphopeptides and demonstrated several other fascinating characteristics such as; excellent size exclusion effect for the omission of large-sized proteins, modest backpressure, reproducibility, reusability, smooth enrichment, and successfully applied to a human saliva sample.

Abstract
Cu2+, tetracycline (TC), and corresponding tetracycline resistance genes (TRGs) are common micropollutants in aquaculture wastewater, which have great impact on environment and human health. In this study, we developed a thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) forward osmosis (FO) membrane with an electrospinning thermoplastic polyurethane/polysulfone (PSF/TPU) substrate and a UiO-66-NH2 particle interlayer modified active layer. The effects of Cu2+ concentration on the synergetic removal of TC and TRGs (e.g., tetA/M/X/O/C, int1, and 16 S rRNA gene) were analyzed to determine the role of Cu2+ in FO process. The rejection mechanism was also analyzed in depth. Results demonstrated that the rejection of TC and Cu2+ was 99.53% and 97.99%. The rejection of TRGs exceeded 90% (specifically, over 99% for tetC) at a Cu2+ concentration of 500 μg/L when 0.5 M (NH4)2HPO4 was used as draw solution. Complexation reaction between Cu2+ and TC, electrostatic interaction, and the adsorption of Cu2+ on membrane surface were the main contributing factors for the high rejection efficiencies. Altogether, the as-prepared FO membrane holds great potential for simultaneously removing heavy metals, antibiotics, and resistance genes in real wastewater.

Abstract
In this study, a strategy that can result in the polyaniline (PANI) solely confined within the nanopores of a metal-organic framework (MOF) without forming obvious bulk PANI between MOF crystals is developed. A water-stable zirconium-based MOF, UiO-66-NH2 , is selected as the MOF material. The polymerization of aniline is initiated in the acidic suspension of UiO-66-NH2 nanocrystals in the presence of excess poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS). Since the pore size of UiO-66-NH2 is too small to enable the insertion of the bulky PSS, the quick formation of pore-confined solid PANI and the slower formation of well dispersed PANI:PSS occur within the MOF crystals and in the bulk solution, respectively. By taking advantage of the resulting homogeneous PANI:PSS polymer solution, the bulk PANI:PSS can be removed from the PANI/UiO-66-NH2 solid by successive washing the sample with fresh acidic solutions through centrifugation. As this is the first time reporting the PANI solely confined in the pores of a MOF, as a demonstration, the obtained PANI/UiO-66-NH2 composite material is applied as the electrode material for supercapacitors. The PANI/UiO-66-NH2 thin films exhibit a pseudocapacitive electrochemical characteristic, and their resulting electrochemical activity and charge-storage capacities are remarkably higher than those of the bulk PANI thin films.

Abstract
Using polyethylenimine (PEI) as the aqueous reactive monomers, a positively charged thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) nanofiltration (NF) membrane with enhanced performance was developed by successfully incorporating graphene oxide (GO) into the active layer. The effects of GO concentrations on the surface roughness, water contact angle, water flux, salt rejection, heavy metal removals, antifouling property, and chlorine resistance of the TFN membranes were evaluated in depth. The addition of 20 ppm GO facilitated the formation of thin, smooth, and hydrophilic nanocomposite active layers. Thus, the TFN-PEI-GO-20 membrane showed the optimal water flux of 70.3 L·m-2·h-1 without a loss of salt rejection, which was 36.8% higher than the thin-film composite (TFC) blank membrane. More importantly, owing to the positively charged surfaces, both the TFC-PEI-blank and TFN-PEI-GO membranes exhibited excellent rejections toward various heavy metal ions including Zn2+, Cd2+, Cu2+, Ni2+, and Pb2+. Additionally, compared with the negatively charged polypiperazine amide NF membrane, both the TFC-PEI-blank and TFN-PEI-GO-20 membranes demonstrated superior antifouling performance toward the cationic surfactants and basic protein due to their hydrophilic, smooth, and positively charged surface. Moreover, the TFN-PEI-GO membranes presented the improved chlorine resistances with the increasing GO concentration.

Abstract
Efforts have been rendered by researchers to address water purification and desalination challenges through membrane separation processes. However, the trade-off phenomenon in permeability and selectivity constrained the membranes' usage. Recent advances made in fabricating membranes, especially thin film nanocomposite (TFN) membranes using functionalized nanofillers, have high performance in water purification and desalination. In this review, state-of-the-art thin film composite (TFC) membranes in water purification and desalination along with their drawbacks are discussed. The urgent demands as an alternative of TFC membranes are highlighted for high-performance membranes. Then, the fabrication and development of high permeability and selectivity of TFN membranes are discussed. Thin film nanocomposite membranes manufactured using rational nanofillers are systematically summarized. Finally, the applications of TFN membranes in water purification and desalination are reported.
