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

ABSTRACT: 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.

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.

Core-Shell Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks for Enhanced Hydrogen Storage.

Project description:Core-shell ZIF-8@ZIF-67- and ZIF-67@ZIF-8-based zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) were synthesized solvothermally using a seed-mediated methodology. Transmission electron microscopy-energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry, line scan, elemental mapping, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy analyses were performed to confirm the formation of a core-shell structure with the controlled Co/Zn elemental composition of ∼0.50 for both the core-shell ZIFs. The synthesized core-shell ZIF-8@ZIF-67 and ZIF-67@ZIF-8 frameworks conferred enhanced H2 (2.03 and 1.69 wt %) storage properties at 77 K and 1 bar, which are ca. 41 and 18%, respectively, higher than that of the parent ZIF-8. Notably, the distinctly remarkable H2 storage properties shown by both the core-shell ZIFs over the bimetallic Co/Zn-ZIF and the physical mixture of ZIF-8 and ZIF-67 clearly evidenced their unique structural properties (confinement of porosity) and elemental heterogeneity due to the core-shell morphology of the outperforming core-shell ZIFs. Moreover, H2 adsorption isotherm data of these frameworks are best fitted with the Langmuir model (R 2 ≥ 0.9999). Along with the remarkably enhanced H2 storage capacities, the core-shell ZIFs also displayed an improved CO2 capture behavior. Hence, we demonstrated here that the controlled structural features endorsed by the rationally designed porous materials may find high potential in H2 storage applications.

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.

Zeolitic boron imidazolate frameworks.

Project description:B-hive? A family of crystalline materials analogous to porous AlPO(4) but based on boron imidazolate frameworks (BIFs) can be formed by the crosslinking of various presynthesized boron imidazolates with monovalent cations (Li(+) and Cu(+), see picture). This synthetic method is capable of generating a large variety of open frameworks, ranging from the four-connected zeolitic sodalite type to the three-connected chiral (10,3)-a type.

Optimized CO<sub>2</sub> Capture of the Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework ZIF-8 Modified by Solvent-Assisted Ligand Exchange.

Project description: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.

Exceptional chemical and thermal stability of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks.

Project description:Twelve zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs; termed ZIF-1 to -12) have been synthesized as crystals by copolymerization of either Zn(II) (ZIF-1 to -4, -6 to -8, and -10 to -11) or Co(II) (ZIF-9 and -12) with imidazolate-type links. The ZIF crystal structures are based on the nets of seven distinct aluminosilicate zeolites: tetrahedral Si(Al) and the bridging O are replaced with transition metal ion and imidazolate link, respectively. In addition, one example of mixed-coordination imidazolate of Zn(II) and In(III) (ZIF-5) based on the garnet net is reported. Study of the gas adsorption and thermal and chemical stability of two prototypical members, ZIF-8 and -11, demonstrated their permanent porosity (Langmuir surface area = 1,810 m(2)/g), high thermal stability (up to 550 degrees C), and remarkable chemical resistance to boiling alkaline water and organic solvents.

PdAg Nanoparticles within Core-Shell Structured Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework as a Dual Catalyst for Formic Acid-based Hydrogen Storage/Production.

Project description:Formic acid (FA; HCOOH) is one of the most promising candidates for the storage of hydrogen (H2). Herein, we report a H2 storage/production system based on the hydrogenation of CO2 and dehydrogenation of FA, using a nanostructured heterogeneous catalyst. Pd1Ag2 nanoparticles with an average size of 2.8?nm were encapsulated within a zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) having a core-shell structure (ZIF-8@Pd1Ag2@ZIF-8). This composite displayed high activity and stability during both the hydrogenation of CO2 to produce FA and the dehydrogenation of FA into H2 and CO2. This improved performance is attributed to the use of ultrafine Pd1Ag2 nanoparticles as well as the spatial regulation of the nanoparticles within the reaction field. This study suggests a new strategy for controlling the spatial distribution of metal nanoparticles within MOFs so as to fine-tune the catalytic activity and selectivity of ZIF-8@metal nanoparticles@ZIF-8 catalysts.

Pore closure in zeolitic imidazolate frameworks under mechanical pressure.

Project description:We investigate the pressure-dependent mechanical behaviour of the zeolitic imidazolate framework ZIF-4 (M(im)2; M2+ = Co2+ or Zn2+, im- = imidazolate) with high pressure, synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction and mercury intrusion measurements. A displacive phase transition from a highly compressible open pore (op) phase with continuous porosity (space group Pbca, bulk modulus ?1.4 GPa) to a closed pore (cp) phase with inaccessible porosity (space group P21/c, bulk modulus ?3.3-4.9 GPa) is triggered by the application of mechanical pressure. Over the course of the transitions, both ZIF-4 materials contract by about 20% in volume. However, the threshold pressure, the reversibility and the immediate repeatability of the phase transition depend on the metal cation. ZIF-4(Zn) undergoes the op-cp phase transition at a hydrostatic mechanical pressure of only 28 MPa, while ZIF-4(Co) requires about 50 MPa to initiate the transition. Interestingly, ZIF-4(Co) fully returns to the op phase after decompression, whereas ZIF-4(Zn) remains in the cp phase after pressure release and requires subsequent heating to switch back to the op phase. These variations in high pressure behaviour can be rationalised on the basis of the different electron configurations of the respective M2+ ions (3d10 for Zn2+ and 3d7 for Co2+). Our results present the first examples of op-cp phase transitions (i.e. breathing transitions) of ZIFs driven by mechanical pressure and suggest potential applications of these functional materials as shock absorbers, nanodampers, or in mechanocalorics.
