In this study, defective UiO-66 materials modified with Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) surfactant were successfully synthesized by a simple approach. Adsorption and desorption performance as well as the corresponding kinetics of toluene vapor for UiO-66 and the modified materials were intensively studied. The physical and chemical properties of the sample were obtained by a series of characterization techniques. As indicated by the experiments, the number of missing-linker defect sites in UiO-66 were influenced by the CTAB concentration. The presence of the defect sites was served as the main active adsorption sites for efficient toluene vapor adsorption. In result, adsorptive capacity of toluene over CTAB-U-0.5 was improved to 275 mg g, which was much higher than that of UiO-66 (151 mg g). The effects of adsorption temperature, initial toluene concentration and relative humidity on the adsorption capacity of 1000 ppm toluene on UiO-66 were further explored. Furthermore, as-prepared CTAB-modified UiO-66 materials were used for reprocessing cycles, which showed excellent regeneration performance.

Tin halide perovskites are promising candidates for lead-free perovskite solar cells due to their ideal bandgap and high charge-carrier mobility. However, poor crystal quality and rapid degradation in ambient conditions severely limit their stability and practical applications. This study demonstrates that incorporating UiO-66, a zirconium-based MOF, significantly enhances the performance and stability of tin halide perovskite solar cells (TPSCs).

Indium nitride (InN) exhibited significant potential as a photoelectrode material for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting, attributed to its superior light absorption, high electron mobility, and direct bandgap. However, its practical application was constrained by rapid carrier recombination occurring within the bulk and at the surface. To address these limitations, researchers developed InN/UiO-66 heterojunction photoelectrodes, which markedly enhanced PEC water splitting for hydrogen production.

Developing the mechanism for MOF formation is crucial for the rapid development of new materials. This work demonstrates that Deuterium-NMR spectroscopy is the optimal inter-laboratory methodology for understanding the in-situ kinetics of metal-organic framework (MOF) formation. This method is facile, affordable, and allows for the isolation and monitoring of individual reagents by using one deuterated component while the remaining components are protonated.

Defective MOFs have been identified as promising candidates for efficient membrane-based separation applications. However, the utilization of defective MOFs in membrane gas separation is still in its infancy due primarily to the inefficient molecular differentiation induced by structural defects. Herein, we report a strategic combination of ionic liquid (IL) and defective UiO-66-NH MOF to ameliorate the CO/N selectivity within the highly permeable PIM-1 polymer.

Highly effective adsorbents, with their impressive adsorption capacity and outstanding selectivity, play a pivotal role in technologies such as carbon capture and utilization in industrial flue gas applications, leading to significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. This study aims to synthesize advanced composites via solvothermal methods, incorporating a defective Zirconium-based MOF and amine-functionalized graphene oxide. The main objective is to enhance the CO adsorption capacity of the composite and improve its CO/N separation selectivity.
