Types of nanozymes can produce free radicals and/or reactive oxygen species (ROS) to serve as broad spectrum antibacterial materials. Developing nanozyme-based antibacterial materials with good biocompatibility exhibits promising application prospects. In this study, we doped Mo to ZIF-8 (both components have good biocompatibility) to prepare a new...

The composite of CdTe quantum dots (QDs) with ZIF-8 was elaborately designed and synthesized as an enzyme-free fluorescent probe for the sensitive determination of uric acid (UA), based on the fluorescence detection property of CdTe QDs and the signal amplification function of ZIF-8. The structure and feature of the composite were characterized wit...

Repair of periodontal and maxillofacial bone defects is a major challenge in clinical. Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is considered one of the most effective methods. However, the efficacy of currently available GBR membranes for repair is frequently limited by their poor osteogenic potential and lack of antibacterial activity. The first step in th...
Composites formed by a metal-organic framework (MOF) and an ionic liquid (IL) are potentially interesting materials for applications ranging from gas separation to electrochemical devices. Consequently, there is a need for robust and low-cost preparation procedures that are compatible with the desired applications. We herein report a solvent-free, ...

A simple and time-saving colorimetric method was developed to quantify sulfonamides (SAAs) in milk via inhibition of the human carbonic anhydrase II (hCAII)-like activity of ZIF-8 that can hydrolyze p-nitrophenyl acetate (pNPA) to p-nitrophenol (pNP), following the color change from yellow to colorless. Effects of different reaction conditions, inc...

Bacterial infections can cause many human diseases, which are closely related to people's health. Nowadays, antibiotics are mainly used to treat bacterial infections, but the widespread use of antibiotics can also lead to bacterial resistance. Therefore, effective treatment of bacterial infections is an urgent problem to be solved. In this article,...

Photocatalytic degradation method has been recognized as an effective way to eliminate the contamination of environment. However, developing photocatalysts with excellent photocatalytic properties are still a big challenge. In this paper, Ag doped ZnO coating with a layer of N doped porous carbon (Ag/[email protected]) was successfully synthesized by us...

In this work, core–shell AuPd nanoparticles (NPs) sensitized Co3O4/[email protected] ellipsoid nanoparticles was successfully synthesized via a simple liquid phase synthesis method. SEM and TEM characterization results showed that the as-prepared samples have core–shell ellipsoid morphology and the size of the nanoparticles were uniform. Systematic gas sensi...
Approximately two-thirds of anthropogenic emissions causing global warming are from carbon dioxide. Carbon capture is essential, with membranes proving to be a low cost and energy-efficient solution to alternative technologies. In particular, mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) can have higher permeability and selectivity than pure polymer membranes. The...
