The I2-sorption and -retention properties of several existing zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIF-4, -8, -69) and a novel framework, ZIF-mnIm ([Zn(mnIm)2 ]; mnIm=4-methyl-5-nitroimidazolate), have been characterised using microanalysis, thermogravimetric analysis and X-ray diffraction. The topologically identical ZIF-8 ([Zn(mIm)2]; mIm=2-methylimidazolate) and ZIF-mnIm display similar sorption abilities, though strikingly different guest-retention behaviour upon heating. We discover that this guest retention is greatly enhanced upon facile amorphisation by ball milling, particularly in the case of ZIF-mnIm, for which I2 loss is retarded by as much as 200 °C. It is anticipated that this general approach should be applicable to the wide range of available metal-organic framework-type materials for the permanent storage of harmful guest species.

Improving the catalytic efficiency and recyclability of immobilized enzyme remained a serious challenge in industrial applications. Enzyme immobilization in the amorphous zeolite imidazolate framework (aZIF) preserved high enzyme activity, but still faced separation difficulties and a low catalytic efficiency in practice. In this study, a one-pot co-precipitation method was used to form the enzyme-aZIF/magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) biocomposite by rapidly precipitating snailase (Sna) and β-glucosidase (β-G) with metal/ligand on MNP and modifying with L-aspartic acid (Asp).

Forward osmosis (FO) technology, known for its minimal energy requirements, excellent resistance to fouling, and significant commercial potential, shows enormous promise in the development of sustainable technologies, especially with regard to seawater desalination and wastewater. In this study, we improved the performance of the FO membrane in terms of its mechanical strength and hydrophilic properties. Generally, the water flux () of polyisophenylbenzamide (PMIA) thin-film composite (TFC)-FO membranes is still inadequate for industrial applications.

A significant challenge in membrane production is the need for affordable materials that provide high efficiency for their designated applications. Employing recycled materials in membrane manufacturing is viewed as a promising solution to tackle this challenge. In this work, a superwettable polyethylene terephthalate membrane modified with cobalt zeolitic imidazolate framework (PET/Co ZIF) is prepared for the first time from recycled plastic mineral water bottles and used to extract polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from aqueous samples followed by high-performance liquid chromatography with UV detection (HPLC-UV).

For the first time, Ag/AgCl/zeolitic imidazolate framework-11 nanocomposite (Ag/AgCl/ZIF-11) as photocatalyst was synthesized and investigated on tetracycline (TC) degradation under visible light. ZIF-11 (Z), Ag/AgCl (A), and four composites (AZ, AZ, AZ, AZ) were made and characterized by XRD, FTIR, Raman, BET, SEM, EDS, XPS, and DRS analysis. The characteristic peaks of ZIF-11 and Ag were observed at 4.
