Abstract Secondary Zn‐air batteries (ZABs) are recognized as one of the most promising power sources for future with lucrative features low cost, high energy density, eco‐friendliness, and safety. However, widespread implementation ZABs is still hampered by sluggish oxygen redox reactions. Thus deployment cost‐effective highly efficient air electrodes to substitute precious metals (Pt/Ir), challenging, however, desired. Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) emerging functional materials,...

Recovery of rare earth ions from wastewater holds an important strategy for the use precious resources. In this study, we found that a metal-organic framework (MOF), HKUST-1, exhibited high affinity and selectivity towards adsorptive recovery (Ce3+ La3+) in aqueous solutions. The adsorbent showed remarkable adsorption capacity 234 mg/g 203 Ce3+ La3+ at pH = 6, respectively. More importantly, its was about 87% against other metal ions. isotherm, kinetics, mechanism process were also...
