Article Abstract

Hypothesis: Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) have received considerable attention owing to their safety, low cost, and environmental benignity. However, the side reactions of hydrogen evolution revolution and Zn dendrite growth reduce the Coulombic efficiency and life span of AZIBs. To address these issues, we designed an artificial protective layer of a Te-hybridized core-shell zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF).

Experiments: A core-shell structure of ZIF-8@ZIF-67 was first developed as a protecting layer on the Zn anode. To improve the poor conductivity of ZIF and its affinity for Zn, the core-shell structure was hybridized with zincophilic Te to increase the surface area and reduce the charge-transfer resistance.

Findings: By incorporating metallic Te into ZIF-8 and ZIF-67, the nucleation potential and charge-transfer resistance were significantly reduced, enhancing the ion reaction kinetics and electron migration. Benefiting from the Te-hybridized ZIF-8@ZIF-67-derived nitrogen-doped porous carbon (Te-hybridized ZIF-8@ZIF-67/NC) layer, a full cell of Zn coated with Te-hybridized ZIF-8@ZIF-67/NC//MnO exhibited an excellent rate performance of 214 mAh g at an ultrahigh current density of 10 A g and ultralong cycle life (3200 cycles) without the formation of Zn dendrites.

Lithium metal batteries (LMBs) offer exceptional energy density and output voltage. However, their practical application remains hindered by sluggish ion transport and uncontrolled lithium dendrite formation, particularly under fast-charging conditions. Here, we report a facet-engineered anion-regulating separator based on zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) with preferentially crystal-exposed (110) facets.

As living standards continue to rise, the demand for advanced cotton textiles that fulfill enhanced functional requirements has grown significantly. Therefore, the development of multifunctional antibacterial/hydrophobic cotton fabrics holds considerable practical value. In this study, a zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) based hybrid material, ZIF/SiO-LDS (Long-chain derivative of silane), was synthesized via a co-precipitation method using silica, zinc nitrate hexahydrate, 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (KH-550), 2-methylimidazole and hexadecyltrimethylsilane (HDTMS).

Manganese dioxide (MnO) nanomaterials have emerged as a promising class of nanoplatform for the therapeutic management of tumors due to their regulable physicochemical properties and good biocompatibility. However, the rational design of MnO nanomaterials often decreased the therapeutic efficacy of tumors due to the inherent protective mechanisms of eliminating the imbalance of Mn in cells. Herein, we firstly prepared a novel Zn ion doped MnO nanoplate (Zn-MnO) employing different zeolitic imidazolate framework 8 (ZIF8) precursors as Zn ion source, which possessed enhanced T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signal, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation capacity and efficient photothermal conversion.

Abnormal glycolysis and glutamine metabolism not only sustain tumor growth but also reprogram the tumor microenvironment (TME). However, due to compensatory mechanisms and low tumor immunogenicity, targeting a single metabolic pathway is often insufficient for effective cancer therapy. We here developed dual-starvation therapeutic metal-phenolic nanocapsules (CG@Cap) by encapsulating a glutamine metabolism inhibitor with a zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 and adsorbing glucose oxidase on the surface, followed by coordination-driven assembly with tannic acid and copper ions.
