Abstract Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks (ZIFs) represents a subclass of the metal-organic
frameworks (MOFs), composed mainly of tetrahedrally coordinated transition metals. The …

Severe disease and environmental pollution derived from heavy metal ions has become one
of the major problems in global public health. In particular, mercury (II) as one type of highly …

Although heavy metals are typically found in trace levels in natural waterways, most of them
are hazardous to human health and the environment, even at extremely low concentrations …

Even at very low concentrations, exposure to mercury or its complexes can have dangerous
effects on living organisms and result in conditions that affect humans. It is essential to …

Background The use of fertilizers in modern agriculture and the expansion of
industrialization are severely raising heavy metals (HMs) contamination in aquatic …

Gold is not only a precious resource for many industries but also a global contaminant as a
result of the discharge of gold‐containing waste. Designing appropriate materials for the …

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), an essential metabolite for active microorganisms to
maintain life activities, has been widely regarded as a marker of cell activity and an indicator …

Currently, antibiotics and heavy metal contaminants have posed a great threat for ecological
security and human health. Herein, the lanthanide functionalized ZIF (named ZIF-90-PABA …

A noticeable interest and steady rise in research studies reporting the design and
assessment of smart adsorbents for sequestering aqueous metal ions and xenobiotics has …

Once the adsorbent is selected, almost introducing larger specific surface area and more
surface functional groups becomes the only way to improve its adsorption performance …
