Among thousands of known metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), the University of Oslo's MOF (UiO-66) exhibits unique structure topology, chemical and thermal stability, and intriguing tunable properties, that have gained incredible research interest. This paper summarizes the structural advancement of UiO-66 and its role in CO capture, separation, and transformation into chemicals. The first part of the review summarizes the fast-growing literature related to the CO capture reported by UiO-66 during the past ten years. The second part provides an overview of various advancements in UiO-66 membranes in CO purification. The third part describes the role of UiO-66 and its composites as catalysts for CO conversion into useful products. Despite many achievements, significant challenges associated with UiO-66 are addressed, and future perspectives are comprehensively presented to forecast how UiO-66 might be used further for CO management.

Sonocatalytic therapy (SCT) is a non-invasive tumor treatment modality that utilizes ultrasound (US)- activated sonocatalysts to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), whose production critically dependent on the electronic structural properties of the catalytic sites. However, the spin state, which is a pivotal descriptor of electronic properties, remains underappreciated in SCT. Herein, a Ti-doped zirconium-based MOF (Ti-UiO-66, denoted as UTN) with ligand-deficient defects is constructed for SCT, revealing the important role of the electronic spin state in modulating intrinsic catalytic activity.

Fermented foods are valued for their diverse flavor and health benefits, but the formation of ethyl carbamate (EC), a potential carcinogen, during production and storage poses challenges. Current EC reduction methods often compromise flavor and bioactive components. This study exemplifies a novel adsorbent combining activated carbon with metal-organic framework (MOF) chemistry for semi-selective EC removal.

The low-carbon strategy mandates the sustainable remediation of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) contamination, driving the demand for efficient eco-adsorbents. However, current research prioritizes adsorption performance, neglecting environmental trade-offs and quantum chemical mechanisms of Cr(VI) adsorption. Here, we pioneered the first density functional theory (DFT) exploration of Cr(VI) adsorption mechanisms across chitosan (CS), polydopamine (PDA), UiO-66-NH, and polyethylenimine.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are transformative platforms for heterogeneous catalysis, but distinguishing atomically dispersed metal sites from subnanometric clusters remains a major challenge. This often demands the integration of multiple characterization techniques, many of which either lack the resolving power to distinguish active sites from their surrounding environments (e.g.

Background: Determination of the estradiol hormone in urine is crucial for evaluating congenital adrenal hyperplasia, certain hormone-producing ovarian tumors, polycystic ovary syndrome, liver disease, pregnancy, and infertility. On the other hand, steroid hormones can have destructive effects on the environment, animals, and the endocrine system of humans. Consequently, accurately measuring this hormone's concentration in trace amounts is essential for environmental safety and human health.
