Metal-organic framework (MOF) glass is a new type of glass material, but it usually lacks sufficient porosity. Thus, regulating the pore structure of MOF glass to improve its adsorption performance is very important. Herein, we found that the porosity of MOF glasses agZIF-62 and agZIF-76 can be regulated via an ammonia-immersion approach. After ammonia immersion, the resulting agZIF-62-NH and agZIF-76-NH could be maintained in their glass states or converted to their amorphous states, respectively. Their porosity changed according to the gas adsorption experiments. Notably, compared with agZIF-62 and agZIF-76, the iodine uptake capacities for agZIF-62-NH and agZIF-76NH increased by 12 and 21 times, respectively. This work shows that the subsequent treatment of MOF glass can regulate their adsorption performance.

The development of efficient artificial photosynthesis systems is crucial for sustainable chemical production, as they mimic natural processes to convert solar energy into chemical products, thereby addressing both energy and environmental challenges. The main bottlenecks in current research include fabricating highly selective, stable, and scalable catalysts, as well as effectively harnessing the full spectrum of light, particularly the low-energy, long-wavelength portion. Herein, we report a novel composite photocatalyst system based on lead halide perovskites embedded in functionalized MOF glass.

A new series of metal-organic nanotubes was constructed through one-dimensional assembly using molecular triangles or molecular squares composed of paddlewheel dirhodium complexes and bidentate axial ligands. The metal-organic nanotubes were significantly different from conventional solid metal-organic framework (MOF) motifs. They exhibit good solubility owing to the branched side chains at their periphery and demonstrate high orientation capabilities in thin films owing to their anisotropic structure.

Membrane processes are promising for energy-saving industrial applications. However, efficient separation for some valuable gas mixtures with similar characteristics, such as CH/N and O/N, remains extremely challenging. Metal-organic framework (MOF) membranes have been attracting intensive attention for gas sieving, but it is difficult to manufacture MOF membranes in scalability and precisely tune their transport property.

Cutting-edge techniques utilizing continuous films made from pure, novel semiconductive materials offer promising pathways to achieve high performance and cost-effectiveness for X-ray detection. Semiconductive metal-organic framework (MOF) glass films are known for their remarkably smooth surface morphology, straightforward synthesis, and capability for large-area fabrication, presenting a new direction for high-performance X-ray detectors. Here, a novel material centered on MOF glasses for highly uniform glass film fabrication customized for X-ray detection is introduced.
