RESUMO
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can perform later transformation without compromising the integrity of the overall framework, and a variety of chemical reactions can be used to modify framework components. Postsynthetic modification (PSM) of MOFs has been developed as an alternative strategy that can expand the range of MOF functional groups. Considering the p-type semiconducting visible light active performance of CuBi2O4 (CBO) and the unique porous nanostructure and stability of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8), in this work, a novel core-shell coordination assembled hybrid based on p-type semiconductor@MOFs (Eu-CBO@ZIF-8) is prepared for the first time via in-situ growth and postsynthetic metal exchange. A series of detailed characterizations were conducted to confirm the successful synthesis of the material. Moreover, we are focusing on using this material as a new dual-functional sensing material for simultaneous detection and removal of tetracycline (TC), which shows an outstanding analytical performance with a low detection limit of 17 nM, relatively broad linear range (0-70 µM), fast response of less than 120 s, and excellent adsorption performance (377.07 mg g-1) toward TC. In addition, the sensitive luminescence response caused by TC makes Eu-CBO@ZIF-8 undergo a significant color transition from dark to red under UV-lamps, which is beneficial for visual analysis with the naked eye. The possible detection and adsorption mechanisms, including coordination between Eu3+ and the detected substance, the hydrogen bond between ligand and the detected substance, were further discussed. In addition, the practical feasibility of Eu-CBO@ZIF-8 for TC sensing was also studied, with a satisfactory recovery rate of 96.9%-104.6% and RSD ≤3.32%. These results indicate that this material can be used for the detection and adsorption of TC in actual samples.
