Base on photothermal interfacial molecular transfer for efficient biodiesel catalysis via enzyme@cyclodextrin metal-organic frameworks loaded MXene.

Efficient, green and stable catalysis has always been the core concept of enzyme catalysis in industrial processes for manufacturing. Therefore, we construct a new strategy with photothermal interfacial molecular transfer for green and efficient biodiesel catalysis. We encapsulate Candida albicans lipase B (CalB) in a γ-cyclodextrin metal-organic framework (γ-CD-MOF) loading with TiCT by in situ growth and electrostatic assembly. The γ-CD-MOF not only protects the fragile enzyme, but also enhances the catalytic performance through the synergistic effects of porous adsorption (MOF pore structure) and interfacial enrichment (cyclodextrins host-guest assembly structure) for accelerating substrate transfer (642.6 %). The CalB@γ-CD-MOF/MXene-i activity can be regulated up to 274.6 % by exposure to near-infrared (NIR). Importantly, CalB@γ-CD-MOF/MXene-i achieves 93.3 % biodiesel conversion under NIR and maintained 86.9 % activity after 6 cycles. Meanwhile, the MXene after the CalB@γ-CD-MOF/MXene catalytic cycle can be almost completely recovered. We verify the mechanism of high catalytic activity of γ-CD-MOF and rationalize the mechanism of CD molecular channel by DFT. Therefore, this highly selective enzyme catalytic platform offers new possibilities for green and efficient preparation of bioenergy.
