A co-based porous metal-organic framework (MOF) of zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) and carbon nanofibers (CNFs) was utilized to prepare a ZIF-67/CNFs composite via a one-pot synthesis method. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were employed to investigate the morphology, structure, and composition of the resulting composite. A novel high-performance non-enzymatic electrochemical sensor was constructed based on the ZIF-67/CNFs composite. The ZIF-67/CNFs based sensor exhibited enhanced electrocatalytic activity towards H2O2 compared to a pure ZIF-67-based sensor, due to the synergistic effects of ZIF-67 and CNFs. Meanwhile, chronoamperometry was utilized to explore the detection performance of the sensor. Results showed the sensor displayed high-efficiency electrocatalysis towards H2O2 with a detection limit of 0.62 μM (S/N = 3), a sensitivity of 323 µA mM−1 cm−2, a linear range from 0.0025 to 0.19 mM, as well as satisfactory selectivity and long-term stability. Furthermore, the sensor demonstrated its application potential in the detection of H2O2 in food.

In this study, copper-based metal-organic framework was successfully synthesized using natural polysaccharide, gum Arabic (gA, Acacia Senegal) as potential organic linker by adopting the synthesis method from Misran et al. with some modifications. The copper-based metal-organic framework (CuMOF) was obtained from the combination of copper salt, natural polysaccharide, and terephthalic acid (H2BDC) at various ratio. The synthesis process was done with the addition of triethylamine (TEA) as catalyst. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) pattern exhibited the presence of a prominent peak assigned to (200), (400), (511), (731), (773), and (882) crystal plane almost similar to the octahedral copper-based MOF-199. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) shown an agglomeration and flaky particle. Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectrometry (EDX) shown three main elements exist inside the Cu-MOF which is carbon (C), copper (Cu), and oxygen (O). This study showed the possibility of natural polysaccharide as new, non-toxic, water soluble linker. Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) analyses of as-synthesized Cu-MOF exhibited three different weight losses when heated to ca. 600oC. The first mass decrease was due to loss of water content followed by the loss of organic moieties inside the Cu-MOF framework and the last was due to the collapse of MOF’s structure leaving metal oxide as the final residue. The Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra suggested strong absorption band at ca. 900 – 1200 cm-1 attributable to C-O bonding, at ca. 1045 cm-1 attributable to C-H bonding originating from gum Arabic, at ca. 1500 – 1600 cm-1 from the organic linker benzene ring, and at ca. 3200 – 3500 cm-1 from hydrogen bonding. These results suggested that natural polysaccharide of gum Arabic exhibited the possibility to become a new, non-toxic, renewable linker for the MOF materials and played a significant role in metal-organic framework formation.

The compound [Cd(4,4'-bpy)2(H2O)2](ClO4)2·(L)2 was obtained by the reaction of Cd(ClO4)2, bis(1-pyrazinylethylidene)hydrazine (L) and 4,4'-bipyridine in aqueous MeOH. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction has revealed its two-dimensional metal-organic framework. The 2-D layers superpose on each other, giving a channel structure. The square planar grids consist of two pairs of shared edges with Cd(II) ion and a 4,4'-bipyridine molecule each vertex and side, respectively. The square cavity has a dimension of 11.817 × 11.781 Å. Two guest molecules of bis(1-pyrazinylethylidene)hydrazine are clathrated in every hydrophobic host cavity, being further stabilized by π-π stacking and hydrogen bonding. The results suggest that the hydrazine molecules present in the network serve as structure-directing templates in the formation of crystal structures.

AbstractBiomass is a green and producible source of energy and chemicals. Hence, developing high-efficiency catalysts for biomass utilization and transformation is urgently demanded. Metal–organic framework (MOF)-based solid acid materials have been considered as promising catalysts in biomass transformation. In this review, we first introduce the genre of Lewis acid and Brønsted acid sites commonly generated in MOFs or MOF-based composites. Then, the methods for the generation and adjustment of corresponding acid sites are overviewed. Next, the catalytic applications of MOF-based solid acid materials in various biomass transformation reactions are summarized and discussed. Furthermore, based on our personal insights, the challenges and outlook on the future development of MOF-based solid acid catalysts are provided. We hope that this review will provide an instructive roadmap for future research on MOFs and MOF-based composites for biomass transformation.
