RESUMO

Oriented and penetrating molecular sieving membranes display enhanced separation performance. A polyimide (PI) solution containing highly dispersed ZIF-7(III) sheets in CHCl3 was deposited on a glass side and subjected to flat-scraping with a membrane fabricator. In this way we developed a novel oriented and penetrating ZIF-7@PI mixed matrix membrane (MMM) with 50 wt. % ZIF-7 loading. Because the height of the ZIF-7 sheets (5 µm) is higher than the film thickness, every ZIF-7 sheet penetrates both surfaces of the polyimide film. Since the ZIF-7 channels are the dominant pathway for gas permeation, the ZIF-7@PI MMM displays a high molecular sieve performance for the separation of H2 (0.29 nm) from larger gas molecules. At 100 °C and 2 bar, the mixture separation factors of H2 /CO2 and H2 /CH4 are 91.5 and 128.4, with a high H2 permeance of about 3.0×10-7  mol m-2 s-1 Pa-1 , which is promising for hydrogen separation by molecular sieving.

RESUMO

Glucose oxidase (GOx) has a great application potential in the determination of glucose concentration. However, its sensitivity to the environment and poor recyclability limited its broader application. Herein, with the assistance of DA-PEG-DA, a novel immobilized GOx based on amorphous Zn-MOFs (DA-PEG-DA/GOx@aZIF-7/PDA) was developed to impart excellent properties to the enzyme. SEM, TEM, XRD, and BET analyses confirmed that GOx was embedded in amorphous ZIF-7 with ∼5 wt% loading. Compared with free GOx, DA-PEG-DA/GOx@aZIF-7/PDA exhibited enhanced stability, excellent reusability, and promising potential for glucose detection. After 10 repetitions, the catalytic activity of DA-PEG-DA/GOx@aZIF-7/PDA can maintain 95.53 % ± 3.16 %. In understanding the in situ embedding of GOx in ZIF-7, the interaction of zinc ion and benzimidazole with GOx was studied by using molecular docking and multi-spectral methods. Results showed that zinc ions and benzimidazole had multiple binding sites on the enzyme, which induced the accelerated synthesis of ZIF-7 around the enzyme. During binding, the structure of the enzyme changes, but such changes hardly affect the activity of the enzyme. This study provides not only a preparation strategy of immobilized enzyme with high activity, high stability, and low enzyme leakage rate for glucose detection, but also a more comprehensive understanding of the formation of immobilized enzymes using the in situ embedding strategy.

RESUMO

It is an important initiative to reduce the building energy consumption using energy recovering ventilation (ERV) systems. The application of ERV systems is hindered by the low CO2 barrier performance of commercial total heat exchange membranes (THEMs) that lead to unsatisfactory indoor air refreshing rate, and there is an urgent need for THEMs that have improved CO2 barrier properties and effective energy recovery efficiencies. Here, we report the formation of novel ZIF/PA TFN THEMs based on ZIF-7-X nanoparticles (NPs) with "core-shell" structures and tunable particle sizes, formed from benzimidazole (BIM) ligands and BIM substituted by -NH2, -CH3, -C2H5, and -C3H7 functional groups. The NPs were mixed with pyr omellitic triformyl chloride (TMC) in the organic phase during the interface polymerization process to form ZIF/PA TFN membranes. The total heat exchange performance of ZIF/PA TFN membranes could be effectively modified by the type and quantity of ZIF-7-X NPs added. The CO2 barrier properties and water vapor permeability of ZIF/PA TFN membranes could be improved by the addition of optimal levels of ZIF-7-X NPs, showing low CO2 permeance of 7.76 GPU, high H2O permeance of 663.8 GPU, and excellent enthalpy exchange efficiency of 72.1%. This work provided an effective strategy for tuning not only the nanostructures of ZIF-7 fillers but also the CO2 barrier properties of the formed ZIF/PA TFN membranes.

RESUMO

Development of efficient absorbent materials for oil spillage clean-up and environmental pollution remediation is highly desired but remains a challenge. In this work, superhydrophobic/superoleophilic polysulfone based ZIF-7 composite (SPZ) foams were fabricated via chemical modification of polysulfone and integrating with hydrophobic coin-shaped ZIF-7 particles. The synergistic approaches provided the SPZ foams with high porosity, low density and superhydrophobic/superoleophilic features (θwater=162.3°, θoil=0°) and outstanding self-cleaning property. The as-prepared SPZ foams exhibited highly selective absorption capacity (up to 3800 wt%) for various kinds of oils and organic solvents. Furthermore, the SPZ foams still maintained 95.2% of its pristine absorption capacity and the θwater remained at 143.6° after ten absorption/distillation cycles. The SPZ foam showed outstanding separation ability towards different types of emulsions with separation efficiency all above 97%. The high oil/water separation efficiency and robust reusability made the SPZ foams promising absorbent in dealing with practical oil spills.

RESUMO

The adsorption and diffusion of synthesis gas components (methanol, ethanol, H2, CO2, and CO molecules) in ZIF-7 by grand canonical Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulation were investigated. The initial diffusion coefficient at the beginning of the process depends on the kinetic diameter of the guest molecules. Also, the diffusion coefficient at equilibrium conditions probably depends on the interaction between the guest molecules with the ZIF-7 framework. The radial distribution function results indicate that the distribution of guest molecules in the framework is affected by the interaction between the guest molecules. These results indicate that the CO, CO2, and H2 guest molecules are adsorbed on both the Zn metal atom and the organic linker (especially the C1 atom). In contrast, the organic linker is the most favorable adsorption site for methanol and ethanol guest molecules. In addition, the diffusion coefficient of guest molecules in binary mixtures is related to the attraction or repulsion between the guest molecules.

RESUMO

A molecular-imprinted electrochemiluminescence sensor for procymidone (PCM) detection was reported based on Ru(bpy)32+@ZIF-7. A novel self-accelerated Ru(bpy)32+@ZIF-7 was prepared by one-step synthesis method, which exhibited high electrochemiluminescence (ECL) emission as a coreactant in the presence of tri-n-propylamine (TPrA). Concretely, ZIF-7 was not only the carrier of Ru(bpy)32+, but also the co-reaction promoter of Ru(bpy)32+/TPrA ECL system. The introduction of molecular imprint polymer (MIP) with PCM gave new characteristics of specific recognition of analyte PCM. The change value of ECL intensity (ΔI) was proportional to the logarithm of PCM concentration, with a wide linear range and a low detection limit of 1.0 × 10-10 to 1.0 × 10-6 mol L-1 and 2.0 × 10-11 mol L-1, respectively. The presented MIP-ECL sensor had high sensitivity, selectivity and stability, and had great potential in the field of food safety detection.

RESUMO

In this study, we mixed the zeolitic imidazolate framework-7 (ZIF-7) with poly(ether-b-amide)® 2533 (Pebax-2533) and used it as a selective layer for a composite membrane. We prepared the composite membrane's substrate using polysulfone (PSf), adjusted its pore size using polyethylene glycol (PEG), and applied polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to the gutter layer and the coating layer. Then, we investigated the membrane's properties of gases by penetrating a single gas (N2, CO2) into the membrane. We identified the peaks and geometry of ZIF-7 to determine if it had been successfully synthesized. We confirmed that ZIF-7 had a BET surface area of 303 m2/g, a significantly high Langmuir surface area of 511 m2/g, and a high CO2/N2 adsorption selectivity of approximately 50. Considering the gas permeation, with ZIF-7 mixed into Pebax-2533, N2 permeation decreased from 2.68 GPU in a pure membrane to 0.43 GPU in the membrane with ZIF-7 25 wt%. CO2 permeation increased from 18.43 GPU in the pure membrane to 26.22 GPU in the ZIF-7 35 wt%. The CO2/N2 ideal selectivity increased from 6.88 in the pure membrane to 50.43 in the ZIF-7 25 wt%. Among the membranes, Pebax-2533/ZIF-7 25 wt% showed the highest permeation properties and the characteristics of CO2-friendly ZIF-7.

RESUMO

Highly permeable and selective, as well as plasticization-resistant membranes are desired as promising alternatives for cost- and energy-effective CO2 separation. Here, robust mixed-matrix membranes based on an amino-functionalized zeolitic imidazolate framework ZIF-7 (ZIF-7-NH2 ) and crosslinked poly(ethylene oxide) rubbery polymer are successfully fabricated with filler loadings up to 36 wt%. The ZIF-7-NH2 materials synthesized from in situ substitution of 2-aminobenzimidazole into the ZIF-7 structure exhibit enlarged aperture size compared with monoligand ZIF-7. The intrinsic separation ability for CO2 /CH4 on ZIF-7-NH2 is remarkably enhanced as a result of improved CO2 uptake capacity and diffusion selectivity. The incorporation of ZIF-7-NH2 fillers simultaneously makes the neat polymer more permeable and more selective, surpassing the state-of-the-art 2008 Robeson upper bound. The chelating effect between metal (zinc) nodes of fillers and ester groups of a polymer provides good bonding, enhancing the mechanical strength and plasticization resistance of the neat polymer membrane. The developed novel ZIF-7 structure with amino-function and the resulting nanocomposite membranes are very attractive for applications like natural-gas sweetening or biogas purification.
