Abstract
In this article, we examine the recent uses of magnetic metal-organic frameworks (MMOFs). MMOFs can be used in various fields such as water purification, laboratory, food, environment, etc. Their materials can be composed of different metals and ligands, each of which has its own properties. Also, the presence of a magnetic property in these absorbents adds good features such as easy separation, faster absorption, and better interaction with other particles, which improves their application and performance. In recent years, various types of these compounds have been made, and, in this article, while classifying them, we will discuss the structure and application of some MMOFs.

Abstract
In this study, we propose a novel therapy system composed of UiO-66 nanoparticles, which contain quercetin combined with chloroquine (UQCNP), to achieve dual autophagy-ubiquitination blockade. Through UiO-66 NP drug loading, the solubility of quercetin (a proteasome inhibitor) was improved under physiological conditions, thereby increasing its effective concentration at the tumor site. The cell experiment results showed that UQCNP significantly increased the apoptosis rate of 4T1 cells by 73.6%, which was significantly higher than other groups. Transmission electron microscopy results showed that the autophagosome of cells in the UQCNP treatment group was significantly lower than that in other treatment groups. Moreover, western blot results showed that, compared with other groups, LC3 expression and proteasome activity (p < 0.01), as well as the tumor volume of mice treated with UQCNP (p < 0.01) were significantly reduced. These results indicate that UQCNP achieves effective tumor therapy by blocking the autophagy and proteasome pathways synchronously.

Metal-Organic Framework as a New Type of Magnetothermally-Triggered On-Demand Release Carrier. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024; 20:e2306940. [PMID: 38127968 DOI: 10.1002/smll.202306940] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2023] [Revised: 11/03/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
The development of external stimuli-controlled payload systems has been sought after with increasing interest toward magnetothermally-triggered drug release (MTDR) carriers due to their non-invasive features. However, current MTDR carriers present several limitations, such as poor heating efficiency caused by the aggregation of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) or the presence of antiferromagnetic phases which affect their efficiency. Herein, a novel MTDR carrier is developed using a controlled encapsulation method that fully fixes and confines IONPs of various sizes within the metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). This novel carrier preserves the MOF's morphology, porosity, and IONP segregation, while enhances heating efficiency through the oxidation of antiferromagnetic phases in IONPs during encapsulation. It also features a magnetothermally-responsive nanobrush that is stimulated by an alternating magnetic field to enable on-demand drug release. The novel carrier shows improved heating, which has potential applications as contrast agents and for combined chemo and magnetic hyperthermia therapy. It holds a great promise for magneto-thermally modulated drug dosing at tumor sites, making it an exciting avenue for cancer treatment.

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

Abstract
Energy is the fundamental requirement of all physical, chemical, and biological processes which are utilized for better living standards. The toll that the process of development takes on the environment and economic activity is evident from the arising concerns about sustaining the industrialization that has happened in the last centuries. The increase in carbon footprint and the large-scale pollution caused by industrialization has led researchers to think of new ways to sustain the developmental activities, whilst simultaneously minimizing the harming effects on the enviroment. Therefore, decarbonization strategies have become an important factor in industrial expansion, along with the invention of new catalytic methods for carrying out non-thermal reactions, energy storage methods and environmental remediation through the removal or breakdown of harmful chemicals released during manufacturing processes. The present article discusses the structural features and photocatalytic applications of a variety of metal oxide-based materials. Moreover, the practical applicability of these materials is also discussed, as well as the transition of production to an industrial scale. Consequently, this study deals with a concise framework to link metal oxide application options within energy, environmental and economic sustainability, exploring the footprint analysis as well.

Abstract
In everyday life, we are continually exposed to different lighting systems, from the home interior to car lights and from public lighting to displays. The basic emission principles on which they are based range from the old incandescent lamps to the well-established compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) and to the more modern Light Emitting Diode (LEDs) that are dominating the actual market and also promise greater development in the coming years. In the LED technology, the key point is the electroluminescence material, but the fundamental role of proper phosphors is sometimes underestimated even when it is essential for an ideal color rendering. In this review, we analyze the main solid-state techniques for lighting applications, paying attention to the fundamental properties of phosphors to be successfully applied. Currently, the most widely used materials are based on rare-earth elements (REEs) whereas Ce:YAG represents the benchmark for white LEDs. However, there are several drawbacks to the REEs’ supply chain and several concerns from an environmental point of view. We analyze these critical issues and review alternative materials that can overcome their use. New compounds with reduced or totally REE free, quantum dots, metal–organic framework, and organic phosphors will be examined with reference to the current state-of-the-art.

Abstract
In this contribution, the synthesis of the metal−organic framework (MOF) based on lanthanum that exhibits trigonal prism shape is presented. The length of a single side of this structure ranges from 2 to 10 μm. The carbonized lanthanum-based organic framework (CMOF–La) maintained the original shape. However, the lanthanum oxide was reshaped in the form of rods during the carbonization. It resulted in the creation of parallel arranged channels. The unique structure of the carbonized structure motivated us to reveal its adsorption performance. Therefore, the adsorption kinetics of acid red 18 onto a carbonized metal−organic framework were conducted. Various physicochemical parameters such as initial dye concentration and pH of dye solution were investigated in an adsorption process. The adsorption was found to decrease with an increase in initial dye concentration. In addition, the increase in adsorption capacity was noticed when the solution was changed to basic. Optimal conditions were obtained at a low pH. Kinetic adsorption data were analyzed using the pseudo-first-order kinetic model, the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the intraparticle diffusion model. The adsorption kinetics were well fitted using a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. It was found that the adsorption of anionic dye onto CMOF–La occurs by hydrophobic interactions between carbonized metal-organic framework and acid red 18.

Abstract
Sulforhodamine B (SRB) is widely utilized for cell staining and laser field. But its application is limited by aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ). In this work, we evaluated the use of UiO-66 and UiO-67 of Zr-based metal organic frameworks (Zr-MOFs) as the host to adsorb SRB molecules due to the high stabily and good loading capacity of Zr-MOFs. The fluorescence properties of the compounds were then discussed respectively. Due to the aperture difference between UiO-66 and UiO-67, they showed distinct fluorescence properties after loading SRB. When the concentration reaches 5 ppm, fluorescence quenching begins to occur in SRB@UiO-66, while it occurs in SRB@UiO-67 at 2 ppm. The solution of quenching phenomenon could open new avenues for the extensive use of SRB.

Abstract
Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) have aroused great interest in the field of nanoscience
and nanotechnology particularly in biomedical domains, such as Drug Delivery System (DDS), Biomedical
Imaging (BI) and Photodynamic Therapy (PDT). As an emerging material, MOFs possess extraordinarily
high surface area, controllable particle size and good biocompatibility. With extraordinary
flexibility in the selection of organic and inorganic components, MOFs can rationally be tuned to obtain
the materials having versatile structures and porosities. MOFs can serve as ideal vehicles for DDS,
BI and PDT through modification and function. In this review, we summarized the design and synthetic
strategies for preparing MOFs and introduced their recent advanced usage in DDS, BI and PDT. Finally,
the prospect and future challenges of these nanomaterials are also documented.

Abstract
Synthetic nano/micro/millimeter-sized machines that harvest energy from the surrounding environment and then convert it to motion have had a significant impact on many research areas such as biology (sensing, imaging, and therapy) and environmental applications. Autonomous motion is a key element of these devices. A high surface area is preferable as it leads to increased propellant or cargo-loading capability. Integrating highly ordered and porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with self-propelled machines is demonstrated to have a significant impact on the field of nano/micro/millimeter-sized devices for a wide range of applications. MOFs have shown great potential in many research fields due to their tailorable pore size. These fields include energy storage and conversion; catalysis, biomedical application (e.g., drug delivery, imaging, and cancer therapy), and environmental remediation. The marriage of motors and MOFs may provide opportunities for many new applications for synthetic nano/micro/millimeter-sized machines. Herein, MOF-based micro- and nanomachines are reviewed with a focus on the specific properties of MOFs.
