Optimized CO₂ Capture of the Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework ZIF-8 Modified by Solvent-Assisted Ligand Exchange.

ABSTRACT: Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks, like ZIF-8 and related structures, have shown great potential for the capture of carbon dioxide. Modifying their structure by exchanging part of the constituent organic ligands is a proven method for enhancing the capacity to absorb CO₂. In this work, we performed solvent-assisted ligand exchange (SALE) on nanosized ZIF-8 (nZIF-8) with a series of functionalized imidazole derivatives (exchange percentages, after 24 h): 2-bromoimidazole (19%), 2-chloroimidazole (29%), 2-trifluoromethylbenzimidazole (4%), 2-mercaptobenzimidazole (4%), and 2-nitroimidazole (54%). The sodalite topology and porosity of nZIF-8 were maintained with all SALE modifications. Low-pressure CO₂ adsorption of nZIF-8 (38.5 cm³ g^-1) at STP was appreciably enhanced with all mixed-linker SALE products. Using halogenated (-Cl, -Br, and -CF₃) imidazole derivatives in a 24 h SALE treatment resulted in increases between 11 and 22% in CO₂ adsorption, while the thiol (-SH)- and nitro (-NO₂)-functionalized SALE products led to 32 and 100% increases in CO₂ uptakes, respectively. These CO₂ uptakes were further optimized by varying the SALE treatment time. The SHbIm- and NO₂Im-exchanged SALE products of nZIF-8 show 87 and 98 cm³ g^-1 of CO₂ uptakes after 60 and 120 h of SALE, respectively. These are record high CO₂ adsorptions for all reported ZIF derivatives at low-pressure conditions.

Reversed Crystal Growth of RHO Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework (ZIF).

Project description:RHO zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF), Zn1.33 (O.OH)0.33 (nim)1.167 (pur), crystals with a rhombic dodecahedral morphology were synthesized by a solvothermal process. The growth of the crystals was studied over time using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analyses, and a reversed crystal growth mechanism was revealed. Initially, precursor materials joined together to form disordered aggregates, which then underwent surface recrystallization forming a core-shell structure, in which a disordered core is encased in a layer of denser, less porous crystal. When the growth continued, the shell became less and less porous, until it was a layer of true single crystal. The crystallization then extended from the surface to the core over a six-week period until, eventually, true single crystals were formed.

Rhodamine B degradation by nanosized zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8).

Project description:Adsorption and photodegradation of rhodamine B by ZIF-8 nanocrystals were studied using spectroscopic techniques coupled with density functional theory (DFT) cluster calculations. A fast adsorption rate was observed in the dark, but upon exposure to visible light or UV irradiation the adsorption rate noticeably increased. Although several studies previously reported this phenomenon involving bulk ZIF-8 powder, this is the first mechanistic study to our knowledge that demonstrates adsorption and degradation of rhodamine B by nanosized ZIF-8 under various light conditions. The combined study of N2 sorption pore analysis and surface-sensitive X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirmed the surface adsorption was mainly due to the open metal sites and surface groups of nanoporous ZIF-8. The fluorescence studies suggested ZIF-8 nanocrystals were able to generate hydroxyl radicals in water but only under UV illumination. The work presented here provides an insight into understanding nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in the removal of organic molecules from wastewater.

High-aspect ratio zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) nanoplates for hydrocarbon separation membranes.

Project description:Metal-organic frameworks with high aspect ratios have the potential to yield high-performance gas separation membranes. We demonstrate the scalable synthesis of high–aspect ratio zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)–8 nanoplates via a direct template conversion method in which high aspect ratio–layered Zn hydroxide sheets [Zn5(NO3)2(OH)8] were used as the sacrificial precursor. Successful phase conversion occurs as a result of the collaboration of low template stability and delayed delivery of 2-methylimidazole in weakly interacting solvents, particularly using acetone. When the ZIF-8 nanoplates with an average aspect ratio of 20 were shear aligned in the 6FDA-DAM polymer matrix by bar coating, the separation performance for propylene/propane far surpassed that of the previously reported mixed matrix and polymeric membranes, showing a propylene permeability of 164 Barrer and selectivity of 33.4 at 40 weight % loadings.

Thermally treated zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) for visible light photocatalytic degradation of gaseous formaldehyde.

Project description:The development of wide-spectrum responsive photocatalysts for efficient formaldehyde (HCHO) removal is highly desired yet remains a great challenge. Here we successfully converted zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8), one of the most well-studied metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), from routine ultraviolet-driven to novel broad-spectrum-driven photocatalyst via a facile thermal treatment. The isocyanate groups (-N[double bond, length as m-dash]C[double bond, length as m-dash]O) formed in the thermally treated ZIF-8 (ZIF-8-T) is crucial in enabling the superior photocatalytic performance in formaldehyde degradation. Specifically, the best-performing ZIF-8-T sample showed around 2.1 and 9.4 times the HCHO adsorption amount and the solar photocatalytic degradation rate, respectively, of pristine ZIF-8. In addition, ZIF-8-T exhibited visible light (λ ≥ 400 nm) photocatalytic HCHO degradation performance, photo-converting 72% and nearly 100% of 20 ppm and 10 ppm HCHO within 1 hour, respectively. This work affords new insights and knowledge that inspire and inform the design and development of MOF-based photocatalysts with broad-spectrum responses for efficient air purification operations.

Solvent-free bottom-up patterning of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks.

Project description:Patterning metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) at submicrometer scale is a crucial yet challenging task for their integration in miniaturized devices. Here we report an electron beam (e-beam) assisted, bottom-up approach for patterning of two MOFs, zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIF), ZIF-8 and ZIF-67. A mild pretreatment of metal oxide precursors with linker vapor leads to the sensitization of the oxide surface to e-beam irradiation, effectively inhibiting subsequent conversion of the oxide to ZIFs in irradiated areas, while ZIF growth in non-irradiated areas is not affected. Well-resolved patterns with features down to the scale of 100 nm can be achieved. This developer-free, all-vapor phase technique will facilitate the incorporation of MOFs in micro- and nanofabrication processes.

Gold Nanorods (AuNRs) and Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-8 (ZIF-8) Core-Shell Nanostructure-Based Electrochemical Sensor for Detecting Neurotransmitters.

Project description:The development of novel electrode materials for rapid and sensitive detection of neurotransmitters in the human body is of great significance for early disease diagnosis and personalized therapy. Herein, gold nanorod@zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (AuNR@ZIF-8) core-shell nanostructures were prepared by controlled encapsulation of gold nanorods within a ZIF-8 assembly. The designed AuNR@ZIF-8 nanostructures have uniform morphology, good dispersion, a large specific surface area, and an average size of roughly 175 nm. Compared with individual ZIF-8 and AuNR-modified electrodes, the obtained core-shell-structured AuNR@ZIF-8 nanocomposite structure-modified electrode shows excellent electrocatalytic performance in the determination of dopamine (DA) and serotonin (ST). The designed AuNR@ZIF-8 exhibited a wide linear range of 0.1-50 μM and low detection limit (LOD, 0.03 μM, S/N = 3) for the determination of DA, as well as a linear range of 0.1-25 μM and low LOD (0.007 μM, S/N = 3) for monitoring ST. The improved performance is attributed to the synergistic effect of the high conductivity of AuNRs and multiple catalytic sites of ZIF-8. The good electroanalytical ability of AuNR@ZIF-8 for detection of DA and ST can provide a guide to efficiently and rapidly monitor other neurotransmitters and construct novel electrochemical sensors.

Doxorubicin-Loaded MnO<sub>2</sub>@Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-8 Nanoparticles as a Chemophotothermal System for Lung Cancer Therapy.

Project description:Doxorubicin-loaded MnO2@zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (DOX/MnO2@ZIF-8) nanoparticles, a smart multifunctional therapeutic platform, were prepared for the treatment of lung cancer. The morphology, structure, and redox and photothermal properties of MnO2@ZIF-8 were characterized by the corresponding methods. The anticancer drug DOX released from the DOX/MnO2@ZIF-8 nanoparticles was measured. The cell viability of Lewis lung cancer (LLC) cells treated with MnO2@ZIF-8 or DOX/MnO2@ZIF-8 nanoparticles was determined using the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) method. The cellular uptake of DOX/MnO2@ZIF-8 nanoparticles into LLC cells was observed using a confocal laser scanning microscope. TUNEL staining was performed to evaluate the in vivo therapeutic efficacy of DOX/MnO2@ZIF-8 nanoparticles. The results showed that the as-prepared MnO2@ZIF-8 nanoparticles had an average particle size of 155.59 ± 13.61 nm and the DOX loading efficiency was 12 wt %. MnO2@ZIF-8 could react with H2O2 to generate O2 and showed a great photothermal conversion effect both in vitro and in vivo. Up to 82% of total DOX could be released from DOX/MnO2@ZIF-8 nanoparticles at pH = 5.0. The CCK-8 assay showed that MnO2@ZIF-8 had low cytotoxicity to LLC cells, while DOX/MnO2@ZIF-8 can significantly reduce the cell viability. DOX/MnO2@ZIF-8 can be accumulated in LLC cells over time. Compared with PBS and DOX/MnO2@ZIF-8 groups, the mice in the DOX/MnO2@ZIF-8 + NIR group had the most apoptotic cells and significantly reduced tumor volume. In conclusion, these findings suggest that the as-prepared MnO2@ZIF-8 nanoparticles with synergetic therapeutic effects by photothermal therapy and improved tumor microenvironment and as a pH-responsive nanocarrier for delivering the nonspecific anticancer drug DOX might be applied in the treatment of lung cancer.

Precise control over gas-transporting channels in zeolitic imidazolate framework glasses.

Project description:Porous metal-organic frameworks have emerged to resolve important challenges of our modern society, such as CO2 sequestration. Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) can undergo a glass transition to form ZIF glasses; they combine the liquid handling of classical glasses with the tremendous potential for gas separation applications of ZIFs. Using millimetre-sized ZIF-62 single crystals and centimetre-sized ZIF-62 glass, we demonstrate the scalability and processability of our materials. Further, following the evolution of gas penetration into ZIF crystals and ZIF glasses by infrared microimaging techniques, we determine the diffusion coefficients and changes to the pore architecture on the ångström scale. The evolution of the material on melting and processing is observed in situ on different length scales by using a microscope-coupled heating stage and analysed microstructurally by transmission electron microscopy. Pore collapse during glass processing is further tracked by changes in the volume and density of the glasses. Mass spectrometry was utilized to investigate the crystal-to-glass transition and thermal-processing ability. The controllable tuning of the pore diameter in ZIF glass may enable liquid-processable ZIF glass membranes for challenging gas separations.
