Alkali metal-organic frameworks (AMOFs) hold considerable promise for a broad spectrum of applications, benefiting from their low toxicity and lightweight. However, the construction of AMOFs with permanent porosity remains a significant challenge due to the tendency of alkali metals to coordinate with polar solvents, thereby forming coordination polymers with low dimensionality. Here, we introduce a connectivity-regulated approach for the synthesis of porous AMOFs by using highly connected organic linkers. Following this strategy, we have constructed AMOFs (denoted as HIAM-112-Li/Na/K/Rb/Cs) using the entire group of alkali metals (Li, Na, K, Rb, and Cs) and an octacarboxylate linker. In particular, HIAM-112 K/Rb/Cs demonstrate record-high porosities among K-, Rb-, and Cs-based coordination networks, respectively. By evaluating their separation performance for the selected gas mixtures, we demonstrate that these highly porous AMOFs hold a strong potential in adsorption-related fields.

Background: Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) stands among the most toxic naturally occurring substances, with its acute toxicity characterized by the induction of acute hepatic necrosis, hemorrhage, and even fatal outcomes, thereby posing a profound threat to human health. Contamination of AFB1 in food commodities can arise at multiple stages throughout the production cycle, including cultivation, storage, and processing. This contamination cascade permeates the entire food supply chain, encompassing primary agricultural products as well as a diverse range of processed food items.

Despite extensive research on alkali resistance of denitrification (de-NO) catalysts, the synergistic poisoning mechanism of alkali and alkaline-earth metals on de-NO catalysts, particularly Mn-based catalysts, remains unresolved. This study investigates the co-poisoning effects of K and Ca on the de-NO activity of Mn-based quasi-MOF (Metal Organic Framework) catalysts, specifically TEOS&Mn-BTC (a catalyst previously designed by our team, TEOS and BTC represent tetraethyl orthosilicate and trimesic acid, respectively). We found that the coexistence of K and Ca elevates the d-band center, which improves the electron mobility ability of the catalyst, thus enhancing the electron transfer between Mn and O in the Si-O-Mn electron-metal-carrier coordination structure, which further promotes the occurrence of acid and redox circulations while strengthening the electron-metal-carrier interaction.

Two-dimensional (2D) layered NiPS has drawn considerable attention as a promising anode candidate for alkali-ion batteries, boasting tunable electronic configurations and high theoretical capacity (∼1296.8mAh g). However, two fundamental challenges impede its practical application: irreversible nanosheet restacking during synthesis seriously compromising Na ion diffusion, and structural collapse during cycling causing catastrophic capacity fade.

Recent studies have extensively reported the use of cationic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for capturing perrhenate/pertechnetate (ReO/TcO) from waste water. Despite the high sorption efficiency of some materials, their stability in strongly acidic and alkaline environments remains inadequate, which hinders their further application in nuclear waste post-processing. Herein, we constructed two different copper-based cationic metal-organic frameworks (ZJU-X16 and ZJU-X17) with excellent resistance to strong acids and alkalis.

To address the ecological and health risks associated with residual tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) in water, a green-synthesized adsorbent composed of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), citric acid (CA), and polyethylene glycol (PEG) was developed for the effective removal of TCH from wastewater. The synthetic parameters were optimized, and the resulting PEG-CA-β-CD MOF was characterized by FT-IR, XRD, and SE. TGA analysis indicated an increase in the thermal stability.
