Efficient C-ZnS/ZnMoO@MoS and C-ZnS/MoS nanocomposite photocatalysts, using ZIF-8 derived C-ZnO as a precursor were successfully synthesized using a simple one-pot procedure. This is the first application that involves transforming ZIF-8 into C-ZnMoO for photocatalysis. The C-ZnS/ZnMoO@MoS and C-ZnS/MoS heterostructures were characterized by X-ray diffraction, UV-vis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, photocurrent measurements, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The ZM2 sample of C-ZnS/ZnMoO@MoS exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activity of about 2.9 times as high as that of ZIF-8 derived C-ZnO in the reduction of tetracycline hydrochloride, and also showed obvious photocatalytic activity 1.81 and 3.33 times as high as that of a ZM3 sample of C-ZnS/MoS and ZIF-8 derived C-ZnO in the degradation of RhB, respectively. The improved photodegradation activity is a result of the heterogenous structure and the tighter contact between C-ZnS and C-ZnMoO compared with the physical contact of general heterogenous photocatalysts. The C-ZnS/ZnMoO@MoS heterostructure photocatalyst is expected to be a new type of nanomaterial for the degradation of pollutants from wastewater.

Developing highly active and durable non-noble metal catalysts is crucial for energy conversion and storage, especially for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) and lithium-oxygen (Li-O) batteries. Non-noble metal catalysts are considered the greatest potential candidates to replace noble metal catalysts in PEMFCs and Li-O batteries. Herein, we propose a novel type of non-noble metal catalyst (Fe-Hf/N/C) doped with Hf into a mesoporous carbon material derived from Hf-ZIF-8 and co-doping with Fe and N, which greatly enhanced the activity and durability of the catalyst.

Electrochemical capacitors (ECs) offer superior specific capacitance for energy storage compared to traditional electrolytic capacitors but face limitations in alternating current (AC) filtering due to the need for balancing fast response and high capacitance. This study addresses these challenges by developing a freestanding nanostructured carbon electrode, derived from the rapid carbonization of bacterial cellulose (BC) embedded with zeolitic imidazolate framework 8 (ZIF-8) and in situ formed carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The electrode exhibits an exceptionally low area resistance of 9.

Chronic wounds, frequently arising from conditions like diabetes, trauma, or chronic inflammation, represent a significant medical challenge due to persistent inflammation, heightened infection risk, and limited treatment solutions. This study presents a novel bioengineered approach to promote tissue repair and improve the healing environment. We developed a bioactive hydrogel patch, encapsulated zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) into extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from anti-inflammatory M2 macrophages, and synthesized ZIF@EV, then embedded it in the sodium alginate matrix.

The ability to tailor surface area, porosity, and morphologies has driven extensive research into the synthesis of metal-organic frameworks derived carbons and their applications in energy storage. This study presents the development of three-dimensional hierarchically porous carbon derived from polystyrene and small-sized zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) particles. Incorporating nanometer-sized ZIF-8 particles forms a core-shell structure in the pre-carbonization stage, transforming into a porous carbon material with a range of pores from micro to macropores after carbonization.

Article Synopsis
- Ethylene glycol is a crucial industrial compound that poses environmental and health risks, necessitating effective sensing materials for monitoring its presence.
- The study presents a novel method to create InO@ZnO using MIL-68(In)@ZIF-8 as a template, resulting in a sensor with enhanced sensitivity to ethylene glycol.
- Results indicate that InO@ZnO demonstrates significant sensitivity with a response value of 200.12 (20 ppm), along with quick response/recovery times, attributed primarily to the beneficial effects of the heterojunction structure.
