Carbon dioxide (CO ), as the primary greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, triggers a series of environmental and energy related problems in the world. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop multiple methods to capture and convert CO into useful chemical products, which can significantly improve the environment and promote sustainable development. Over the past several decades, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown outstanding heterogeneous catalytic activity due in part to their high internal surface area and chemical functionalities. These properties and the ability to synthesize MOF platforms allow experiments to test structure-function relationships for transforming CO into useful chemicals. Herein, recent developments are highlighted for MOFs participating as catalysts for the chemical fixation and photochemical reduction of CO . Finally, opportunities and challenges facing MOF catalysts are discussed in this ongoing research area.

Phthalate esters (PAEs) are broadly utilized as plasticizers in industrial products, posing a significant threat to ecological security and human health. Lipase is a kind of green biocatalyst with the ability to degrade PAEs, but its application is limited due to its low stability and poor reusability. Herein, lipase from Candida rugosa (CRL) was immobilized into an organic ligand replacement MOFs (MAF-507) and cysteine modification and glutaraldehyde cross-linking were simultaneously performed to synthesize immobilized lipase (Cys-CRL@GA@MAF-507) using a one-pot method.

This study presents a novel approach to water contamination remediation by developing cobalt-doped carbon nanofiber films using electrospun ZIF-67 precursors, aiming to degrade tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) and other antibiotics. This method uniquely combines the advantages of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and electrospinning to enhance catalytic performance, demonstrating significant innovation in environmental catalysis. The research systematically evaluated the impact of various factors on the catalytic activity of carbonized PAN@ZIF-67 films (CPZF), including carbonization temperature, ZIF-67 content, and PMS dosage.

This study focuses on enhancing solar energy capture efficiency by introducing innovative hybrid nanofluids for use in solar thermal collectors, whose performance largely depends on the absorption properties of the working fluid. The newly developed hybrid nanofluids, MXene/NH2-UiO66 (Zr) (noted as MX/UO66) and MXene/MIL-88B (Fe) (noted as MX/ML88), were synthesized using an in-situ solvothermal method, combining annealed Ti3C2Tx MXenes with water-stable metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). These nanofluids achieved high efficiency at low concentrations, providing both economic and performance benefits.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with long persistent luminescence (LPL) have attracted extensive research attention due to their potential applications in information encryption, anticounterfeiting technology, and security logic. The strategic combinations of organic phosphor linkers and metal ions lead to tremendous frameworks, which could unveil many undiscovered properties of organics. Here, the synthesis and characterization of a three-dimensional MOF (Cd-MOF) is reported, which demonstrates enhanced blue photoluminescence and a phosphorescent lifetime of 124 ms as compared to the pristine linker (HL) under ambient conditions due to the scaffolding and heavy-atom effects of metal chains in the framework.
