Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) 7 and 9 are excellent candidates for CO2 adsorption and storage. Here, high-pressure X-ray diffraction is used to further understand their potential in realistic industrial applications. ZIF-7 and ZIF-9 are shown be able to withstand high hydrostatic pressures whilst retaining their porosity and structural integrity through a new ferroelastic phase transit...

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are heralded as potential nanoplatforms for biomedical applications. Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8), one of the most well known MOFs, has been widely applied a drug delivery carrier cancer therapy. However, application ZIF-8 nanoparticles therapeutic agent hindered by challenge how to control release behaviour anti-cancer zinc ions cells. In this paper,...

Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs), a subclass of metal–organic (MOFs), have been widely investigated as additive in mixed matrix membranes (MMMs), but systematic studies to identify critical intrinsic ZIF-type parameters that determine the MMM performance are lacking. Therefore, three isoreticular gmelinite (GME) ZIFs, i.e., ZIF-68, 69 and 78 distinct by their partial different linkers, we...

Because people spend a lot of time indoors every day, the presence particulate matter with diameter less than 2.5 µm (PM2.5) and volatile organic molecular substances in indoor air adversely affect public health. These toxic compounds can be removed from using high-efficiency air-filter materials adsorption capacity. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are among most suitable for purification as th...

Composite sorbent materials (IL@MOF) with a metal-organic framework (MOF) ZIF-8 and [B(CN)4]?-based ionic liquids (ILs) were produced for the first time. Characterization results indicate successful IL impregnation conservation of crystalline structure morphology. The data collected from nitrogen (N2) physisorption at 77 K suggest that these IL@ZIF-8 are nonporous as their textural properties, ...

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is one of the most commonly used method for detection staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB), main protein toxin causing food poisoning. However, traditional ELISA reaction needs to be stopped by sulfuric acid obtain stable colorimetric signal, and it easily influenced a colored sample. In order address this problem, new using zeolite imidazolate skeleton-8...

Adv. Funct. Mater. 2021, 31, 2008357 DOI: 10.1002/adfm.202008357 In the original published version of this article, bulk densities powder ZIF-8 and ZIF-67 were quoted as 0.96 g/cm3 0.94 respectively. However, values for samples’ true density in error. The correct densities, used calculating volume-relative capacities surface areas, 0.39 0.38 ZIF-67, As affects calculated ‘volume-relative’ quant...
