Smart proton conductive metal-organic framework (MOF) membranes with dynamic remote control over conduction show high potential for use in advanced applications, such as sensors and bioprocesses. Here, we report a photoswitchable ZIF-8 membrane by coencapsulating polystyrene sulfonate graphene quantum dots into matrix (GQDs-PSS@ZIF-8) via solid-confined conversion process. The conductivity of t...

High internal phase Pickering emulsion (Pickering HIPE) stabilized by enzyme-decorated metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) nanoparticles is developed for biphasic biocatalysts to enhance lipase catalysis and recycling. Specifically, enzyme decorated are prepared via ZIF-8 physisorption of a model Candida antarctica Lipase B (CALB), named ZIF-8@CALB, be both stabilizer catalytic sites. An oil-in-wat...

Firstly, ZnO nanorods were prepared by a relatively simple method, and then self-sacrificed water bath heating method to generate commonly used porous ZIF-8 firmly attached the surface. The successful synthesis of synthetic composites was demonstrated with various detection methods. gas-sensing results show that ZIF-8-coated core-shell structure exhibits better response than raw because increas...

Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) have gained much interest in the last two decades to be used as water, waste and gas separation membranes. MMMs combine polymer inorganic filler improve performances of pure polymeric However, choice should conducted carefully avoid formation microvoids that can decrease membrane’s performances. Hence, this study synthesis characterization Zeolitic Imidazolate Fram...

The adsorption of methanol by a zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) nanoparticle thin film was studied in situ using temperature-programmed desorption and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy under low-temperature, low-pressure conditions. Partial pore penetration was observed at 90 K, but upon increasing the exposure temperature of the film to 130 K pore penetration was significantly enhanced...

Considering the photocatalytic performance of CDs, ZnO, and unique porous nanostructure stability ZIF-8, we prepared ZnCDs/ZnO@ZIF-8 zeolite composites. The resultant material represented an enhanced ability for photodegradation TC compared with that ZnCDs ZnO. degradation efficiency reached over 85%. catalytic activity composites was maintained after four cycles. experimental result indicated ...

The fabrication of molecular gas sieving materials with specific affinities for a single gas species and able to store large quantities of materials at a low or atmospheric pressure is desperately required to reduce the adverse effects of coal and oil usage in carbon capture. Fundamental understanding of the dynamic adsorption of gas, the diffusion mechanisms across thin film membranes, and the...
