Summary: Researchers fabricated porous reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-ZnO composite nanofibers by electrospinning rGO and zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) precursors. The resulting materials exhibited high-density and large-size mesopores, which were attributed to the integration of MOFs and NFs. The rGO-ZnO NFs showed improved sensing properties compared to pure ZnO nanocages, including higher isopropanol sensing responses and faster response/recovery times. This study presents a novel approach for constructing MOF-derived porous rGO-metal oxide composite NFs with high-performance sensing materials.

Summary: Medi-MOF-1 is a porous Metal-Organic framework (MOF) made of Zn(II) and curcumin. The crystal obtained was characterized using powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A micrometer-sized crystal with similar morphology was successfully obtained using the solvothermal method. Thanks to its high surface area, stability, and abundant pores, the as-synthesized Medi-MOF-1 can be used to adsorb various gases (H-2, CO2, CH4, and N-2) and iodine (I-2). The activated sample showed a high I-2 adsorption ability of 1.936 g g(-1) at room temperature through vapor diffusion. Additionally, the adsorbed I-2 could be released slowly in ethanol, indicating its potential application for iodine adsorption.

Summary: Researchers have designed zinc-cobalt bimetallic organic framework (Zn/Co-MOF) functionalized bioceramic scaffolds for repairing osteochondral defects under the environment of osteoarthritis (OA). The functionalization of Zn/Co-MOF on the 3D-printed beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP) scaffolds successfully developed MOF-TCP scaffolds with broad-spectrum ROS-scavenging ability. The study demonstrates that MOF-TCP scaffolds possess antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties, protect cells from ROS invasion, and induce osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation in vitro. Furthermore, in vivo results confirm that MOF-TCP scaffolds accelerate the integrated regeneration of cartilage and subchondral bone in severe osteochondral defects. This study offers a promising strategy for treating defects induced by OA as well as other inflammatory diseases.

Summary: This article presents a new approach to water-processable metal-organic framework materials. By using amphiphilic organic building blocks consisting of polar carboxylate groups and non-polar alkyl chains, these materials can assemble into porous framework structures via bonding to kinetically labile sodium ions from concentrated aqueous solution. The obtained materials, termed amphiphile salt frameworks, are thermally and mechanically stable and have persistent microporous channels accessible to several gases. They can be reversibly assembled/disassembled by crystallization from or dissolution in water.

Summary: A major challenge in Cyclic Swing Separation using flexible adsorbents is their very low-pressure hysteresis that hinders efficient desorption. Mg-Gallate MOF, a flexible adsorbent, shows very slow and inefficient desorption in pressure or temperature swing. Therefore, a novel strategy combining Magnetic Induction Heating with a vacuum swing is presented for fast and efficient CO2 desorption from flexible adsorbents at a moderately elevated temperature (70 degrees C).
