[PMID: 38966354 PMCID: PMC11220593 DOI: 10.1039/d4sc01257g] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/07/2024] [Indexed: 07/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Maximizing the utilization efficiency of monatomic Fe sites in Fe-N-C catalysts poses a significant challenge for their commercial applications. Herein, a structural and electronic dual-modulation is achieved on a Fe-N-C catalyst to substantially enhance its catalytic performance. We develop a facile multi-component ice-templating co-assembly (MIC) strategy to construct two-dimensional (2D) arrays of monatomic Fe-anchored hollow carbon nanoboxes (Fe-HCBA) via a novel dual-outward interfacial contraction hollowing mechanism. The pore engineering not only enlarges the physical surface area and pore volume but also doubles the electrochemically active specific surface area. Additionally, the unique 2D carbon array structure reduces interfacial resistance and promotes electron/mass transfer. Consequently, the Fe-HCBA catalysts exhibit superior oxygen reduction performance with a six-fold enhancement in both mass activity (1.84 A cm-2) and turnover frequency (0.048 e- site-1 s-1), compared to microporous Fe-N-C catalysts. Moreover, the incorporation of phosphorus further enhances the total electrocatalytic performance by three times by regulating the electron structure of Fe-N4 sites. Benefitting from these outstanding characteristics, the optimal 2D P/Fe-HCBA catalyst exhibits great applicability in rechargeable liquid- and solid-state zinc-air batteries with peak power densities of 186 and 44.5 mW cm-2, respectively.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 665:879-887.

Abstract
Iron-nitrogen-carbon single-atom catalysts derived from zeolitic-imidazolate-framework-8 (ZIF-8) have presented its great potential for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in Zn-air batteries (ZABs). However, due to insufficient active Fe-N sites, its ORR activity is inferior to Pt-based catalysts. Herein, a carboxylate (OAc) linker strategy is proposed to design a ZIF-8-derived FeNCOAc catalyst with abundant accessible Fe-N4 single-atom sites. Except that imidazole groups can coordinate with Fe ions, the OAc linker on the unsaturated coordination Zn nodes can anchor and coordinate with more Fe ions, resulting in a significant increase in Fe-N4 site density. Meanwhile, the corrosion of carbon skeleton by OAc oxidation during heat-treatment leads to improved porosity of catalyst. Benefitting from the highly dense Fe-N4 sites and hierarchical pores, the FeNCOAc endows superior performance in alkaline medium (E1/2 = 0.906 V), which is confirmed by density functional theory calculation results. Meanwhile, the assembled liquid ZAB delivers a favorable peak power density of 173.9 mW cm-2, and a high specific capacity of 770.9 mAh g-1 as well as outstanding durability. Besides, the solid-state ZAB also shows outstanding discharge performance.

Abstract
The present study proposes a novel engineering concept for the customization of functionality and construction of superstructure to fabricate 2D monolayered N-doped carbon superstructure electrocatalysts decorated with Co single atoms or Co2P nanoparticles derived from 2D bimetallic ZnCo-ZIF superstructure precursors. The hierarchically porous carbon superstructure maximizes the exposure of accessible active sites, enhances electron/mass transport efficiency, and accelerates reaction kinetics simultaneously. Consequently, the Co single atoms embedded N-doped carbon superstructure (Co-NCS) exhibits remarkable catalytic activity toward oxygen reduction reaction, achieving a half-wave potential of 0.886 V versus RHE. Additionally, the Co2P nanoparticles embedded N-doped carbon superstructure (Co2P-NCS) demonstrates high activity for both oxygen evolution reaction and hydrogen evolution reaction, delivering low overpotentials of 292 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and 193 mV at 10 mA cm-2 respectively. Impressively, when employed in an assembled rechargeable Zn-air battery, the as-prepared 2D carbon superstructure electrocatalysts exhibit exceptional performance with a peak power density of 219 mW cm-2 and a minimal charge/discharge voltage gap of only 1.16 V at 100 mA cm-2. Moreover, the cell voltage required to drive an overall water-splitting electrolyzer at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 is merely 1.69 V using these catalysts as electrodes.

Abstract
The development of cost-effective and high-performance non-noble metal catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) holds substantial promise for real-world applications. Introducing a secondary metal to design bimetallic sites enables effective modulation of a metal-nitrogen-carbon (M-N-C) catalyst's electronic structure, providing new opportunities for enhancing ORR activity and stability. Here, we successfully synthesized an innovative hierarchical porous carbon material with dual sites of Zn and Mg (Zn/Mg-N-C) using polymeric ionic liquids (PILs) as precursors and SBA-15 as a template through a bottom-up approach. The hierarchical porous structure and optimized Zn-Mg bimetallic catalytic centers enable Zn/Mg-N-C to exhibit a half-wave potential of 0.89 V, excellent stability, and good methanol tolerance in 0.1 M KOH solution. Theoretical calculations indicated that the Zn-Mg bimetallic sites in Zn/Mg-N-C effectively lowered the ORR energy barrier. Furthermore, the Zn-air batteries assembled based on Zn/Mg-N-C demonstrated an outstanding peak power density (298.7 mW cm-2) and superior cycling stability. This work provides a method for designing and synthesizing bimetallic site catalysts for advanced catalysis.

Abstract
A core-shell ZIF-67@ZIF-8-derived Co nanoparticles embedded in N-doped carbon nanotube polyhedra (Co/C-NCNP) hybrid nanostructure was prepared by a pyrolysis method. The synthesized Co/C-NCNP was modified on the screen-printed carbon electrode and used for the portable wireless sensitive determination of breviscapine (BVC) by differential pulse voltammetry. The Co/C-NCNP had a large surface area and excellent catalytic activity with increasing Co sites to combine with BVC for selective determination, which led to the improvement of the sensitivity of the electrochemical sensor. Under optimized conditions, the constructed sensor had linear ranges from 0.15 to 20.0 µmol/L and 20.0 to 100.0 µmol/L with the limit of detection of 0.014 µmol/L (3S0/S). The sensor was successfully applied to BVC tablet sample analysis with satisfactory results. This work provided the potential applications of zeolitic imidazolate framework-derived nanomaterials in the fabrication of electrochemical sensors for the sensitive detection of drug samples.

Abstract
Harnessing electrical or solar energy for the renewable production of value-added fuels and chemicals through catalytic processes (such as photocatalysis and electrocatalysis) is promising to achieve the goal of carbon neutrality. Owing to the large number of highly accessible active sites, highly porous structure, and charge separation/transfer ability, as well as excellent stability against chemical and electrochemical corrosion, zeolite imidazolate framework (ZIF)-based catalysts have attracted significant attention. Strategic construction of heterojunctions, and alteration of the metal node and the organic ligand of the ZIFs effectively regulate the binding energy of intermediates and the reaction energy barriers that allow tunable catalytic activity and selectivity of a product during reaction. Focusing on the currently existing critical issues of insufficient kinetics for electron transport and selective generation of ideal products, this review starts from the characteristics and physiochemical advantages of ZIFs in catalytic applications, then introduces promising regulatory approaches for advancing the kinetic process in emerging CO2 reduction, water splitting and N2 reduction applications, before proposing perspective modification directions.

Abstract
Over the past decade, transition metal (TM)-based electrodes have shown intriguing physicochemical properties and widespread applications, especially in the field of supercapacitor energy storage owing to their diverse configurations, composition, porosity, and redox reactions. As one of the most intriguing research interests, the design of porous architectures in TM-based electrode materials has been demonstrated to facilitate ion/electron transport, modulate their electronic structure, diminish strain relaxation, and realize synergistic effects of multi-metals. Herein, the recent advances in porous TM-based electrodes are summarized, focusing on their typical synthesis strategies, including template-mediated assembly, thermal decomposition strategy, chemical deposition strategy, and host-guest hybridization strategy. Simultaneously, the corresponding conversion mechanism of each synthesis strategy are reviewed, and the merits and demerits of each strategy in building porous architectures are also discussed. Subsequently, TM-based electrode materials are categorized into TM oxides, TM hydroxides, TM sulfides, TM phosphides, TM carbides, and other TM species with a detailed review of their crystalline phase, electronic structure, and microstructure evolution to tune their electrochemical energy storage capacity. Finally, the challenges and prospects of porous TM-based electrode materials are presented to guide the future development in this field.

Abstract
The rational design of bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts with unique morphology and luxuriant porous structure is significant but challenging for accelerating the reaction kinetics of rechargeable Zn-air batteries (ZABs). Herein, zinc-mediated Fe, N-codoped carbon nanocages (Zn-FeNCNs) are synthesized by pyrolyzing the polymerized iron-doped polydopamine on the surface of the ZIF-8 crystal polyhedron. The formation of the chelate between polydopamine and Fe serves as the covering layer to prevent the porous carbon nanocages from collapsing and boosts enough exposure and utilization of metal-based active species during carbonization. Furthermore, both the theoretical calculation and experimental results show that the strong interaction between polyhedron and polydopamine facilitates the evolution of high-activity zinc-modulated FeNx sites and electron transportation and then stimulates the excellent bifunctional catalytic activity for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). As expected, the Zn-air battery with Zn-FeNCNs as an air cathode displays a superior power density (256 mW cm-2) and a high specific capacity (813.3 mA h gZn-1), as well as long-term stability over 1000 h. Besides, when this catalyst is applied to the solid-state battery, the device exhibited outstanding mechanical stability and a high round-trip efficiency under different bending angles.

Abstract
Electrocatalyst engineering from the atomic to macroscopic level of electrocatalysts is one of the most powerful routes to boost the performance of electrochemical devices. However, multi-scale structure engineering mainly focuses on the range of atomic-to-particle scale such as hierarchical porosity engineering, while catalyst engineering at the macroscopic level, such as the arrangement configuration of nanoparticles, is often overlooked. Here, a 2D carbon polyhedron array with a multi-scale engineered structure via facile chemical etching, ice-templating induced self-assembly, and high-temperature pyrolysis processes is reported. Controlled phytic acid etching of the carbon precursor introduces homogeneous atomic phosphorous and nitrogen doping, as well as a well-defined mesoporous structure. Subsequent ice-templated self-assembly triggers the formation of a 2D particle array superstructure. The atomic-level doping gives rise to high intrinsic activity, while the well-engineered porous structure and particle arrangement addresses the mass transport limitations at the microscopic particle level and macroscopic electrode level. As a result, the as-prepared electrocatalyst delivers outstanding performance toward oxygen reduction reaction in both acidic and alkaline media, which is better than recently reported state-of-the-art metal-free electrocatalysts. Molecular dynamics simulation together with extensive characterizations indicate that the performance enhancement originates from multi-scale structural synergy.

Abstract
A self-powered photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor has attracted widespread attention in the field of analysis, but it is still a challenge to enhance its response signals with rational strategies. In this work, a novel self-powered PEC sensing platform was developed for the quantitative detection of gatifloxacin (GAT) based on a photofuel cell consisting of two types of ZIF-derived ZnO/Co3O4 heterojunctions as photoactive materials. Peroxymonosulfate (PMS) was first used as an electron acceptor coupled with a photofuel cell to develop a synergetic signal amplification strategy. In a dual-photoelectrode system, the PMS activation on the ZnO@Co3O4 photocathode not only accelerated electron transfer from the Co3O4@ZnO photoanode to achieve strong signal intensity but also improved the sensing sensitivity by the oxidation reaction of generated highly active radicals to GAT. Compared with the absence of electron acceptors, the introduction of PMS produced a 2-fold enhancement in the signal output performance and a more than 72-fold improvement in the signal sensitivity. For the construction of the sensing interface, a molecularly imprinted polymer was assembled on the photocathode to specifically recognize GAT. The proposed sensor exhibited a detection range of 10-1 to 105 pM with a detection limit of 0.065 pM. The proposed sensing method has the advantages of sensitivity, simplicity, reliable stability, and anti-interference ability, which opens the door to the design of high-performance self-powered PEC sensors.

Abstract
A novel dual-outward contraction mechanism is applied to construct 2D hollow carbon superstructures (HCSs) via pyrolysis of hybrid ZIF superstructures. One outward contraction stress is offered by the in situ formed thin carbon shell, while another originates from the interconnected facets of ZIF polyhedra within the ZIF superstructure.

Abstract
Although hollow carbon structures have been extensively studied in recent years, their interior surfaces are not fully utilized due to the lack of fluent porous channels in the closed shell walls. This study presents a tailored design of open-mouthed particles hollow cobalt/nitrogen-doped carbon with mesoporous shells (OMH-Co/NC), which exhibits sufficient accessibility and electroactivity on both the inner and outer surfaces. By leveraging the self-conglobation effect of metal sulfate in methanol, a raspberry-structured Zn/Co-ZIF (R-Zn/Co-ZIF) precursor is obtained, which is further carbonized to fabricate the OMH-Co/NC. In-depth electrochemical investigations demonstrate that the introduction of open pores can enhance mass transfer and improve the utilization of the inner active sites. Benefiting from its unique structure, the resulting OMH-Co/NC exhibits exceptional electrocatalytic oxygen reduction performance, achieving a half-wave potential of 0.865 V and demonstrating excellent durability.

Abstract
Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are an important subclass of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Recently, we reported a new kind of MOF, namely tetrahedral imidazolate frameworks with auxiliary ligands (TIF-Ax), by adding linear ligands (Hint) into the zinc-imidazolate system. Introducing linear ligands into the M2+-imidazolate system overcomes the limitation of imidazole derivatives. Thanks to the synergistic effect of two different types of ligands, a series of new TIF-Ax with interesting topologies and a special pore environment has been reported, and they have attracted extensive attention in gas adsorption, separation, catalysis, heavy metal ion capture, and so on. In this review, we give a comprehensive overview of TIF-Ax, including their synthesis methods, structural diversity, and multi-field applications. Finally, we also discuss the challenges and perspectives of the rational design and syntheses of new TIF-Ax from the aspects of their composition, solvent, and template. This review provides deep insight into TIF-Ax and a reference for scholars with backgrounds of porous materials, gas separation, and catalysis.

Abstract
Electrochemical water splitting is a green strategy for hydrogen (H2) production but is severely hindered by the sluggish anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Therefore, replacing the sluggish anodic OER with more favorable oxidation reactions is an energy-saving approach for hydrogen production. Hydrazine borane (HB, N2H4BH3) is considered a potential hydrogen storage material due to its easy preparation, nontoxicity, and high chemical stability. Furthermore, the complete electrooxidation of HB has a unique characteristic of a much lower potential compared to that of OER. All these make it an ideal alternative for energy-saving electrochemical hydrogen production, however, which has never been reported so far. Herein, HB oxidation (HBOR)-assisted overall water splitting (OWS) is proposed for the first time for energy-saving electrochemical hydrogen production. The as-synthesized NiCoP@CoFeP nanoneedle array catalyst exhibited superefficient OER, hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), and HBOR performance. Impressively, NiCoP@CoFeP serves as both anodic and cathodic electrocatalysts for HB-assisted OWS, only requires a low cell voltage of only 0.078 V to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm-2, which was 1.4 V lower than that for HB-free OWS, indicating the highly energy-saving H2 production.

Abstract
Mass transfer is critical in catalytic processes, especially when the reactions are facilitated by nanostructured catalysts. Strong efforts have been devoted to improving the efficacy and quantity of active sites, but often, mass transfer has not been well studied. Herein, we demonstrate the importance of mass transfer in the electrocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) by tailoring the pore sizes. Using a confined-etching strategy, we fabricate boron- and nitrogen-doped carbon (B,N@C) electrocatalysts featuring abundant active sites but different porous structures. The ORR performance of these catalysts is found to correlate with diffusion of the reactant. The optimized B,N@C with trimodal-porous structures feature enhanced O2 diffusion and better activity per heteroatomic site toward the ORR process. This work demonstrates the significance of the nanoarchitecture engineering of catalysts and sheds light on how to optimize structures featuring abundant active sites and enhanced mass transfer.

Abstract
Medicine treatments for bone-related diseases such as osteoporosis, bone metastasis, osteomyelitis, and osteolysis are often limited by insufficient drug concentration at the lesion sites owing to the low perfusion of bone tissue. A carrier that can deliver multiple bone destruction site-targeting drugs is required to address this limitation. Here, we reported a novel bone-targeting nano-drug delivery platform formed by the integration of zoledronate (ZOL) and zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) nanoparticles. The ZOL mixed zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZZF) nanoparticles were synthesized in water at room temperature (25 °C), where many biomacromolecules could maintain their activity. This allowed the ZZF nanoparticles to adapt the encapsulation ability and pH response release property from ZIF-8 and the excellent bone targeting performance of ZOL simultaneously. Considering the ease of preparation and biomacromolecule-friendly drug delivery of this nano platform, it may be useful in treating bone-related diseases.

Abstract
Synthetic polymer-derived hollow carbon spheres have great utilitarian value in many fields for which the synthesis of proper polymer precursors is a key process. The exploration of new suitable polymer precursors and the construction of refined hollow structures in emerging polymers are both of great significance for synthetic methodology and novel carbon materials. Here, for the first time Schiff base polymer (SBP) colloid spheres with refined hollow structures were synthesized by tandem gradient growth and confined polymerization processes. The Hill equation was employed as a mathematical model to explain the gradient growth of SBP spheres. The size-dependent inner structure of SBP spheres can be adjusted from hollow to multichamber-surrounded hollow, and then to a multichamber structure. SBP-derived carbon spheres having similar surface area and chemical composition but different inner structures provide an effective way to investigate the relationship between inner structure and performance.

Abstract
The development of a suitable cathode host that withstands high sulfur content/loading and low electrolyte/sulfur (E/S) ratio is particularly important for practically sustainable Li-S batteries. Herein, a facile approach is utilized to prepare free-standing 3D cathode substrates comprising nitrogen-doped carbon (N-C) scaffold and metal-organic framework derived interconnected chain-like hollow N-C nanocages, forming a highly porous N-C nanofiber (HP-N-CNF) framework. The N-C skeleton provides highly conductive pathways for fast lithium ion/electron diffusion. The hollow interconnected N-C nanocages not only offer enough space to absorb a high volume of active material but also effectively channelize severe volume stress during the electrochemical performance. The Li-S cell utilizing HP-N-CNF as cathode host displays exceptional battery parameters with high effective sulfur content (83.2 wt%), ultrahigh sulfur loading (14.3 mg cm-2 ), and low E/S ratio (6.8 μL mg-1 ). The Li-S cell exhibits a maximum areal capacity of 12.2 mAh cm-2 which stabilizes at ≈5.5 mAh cm-2 after the 130th cycle at 0.05 C-rate and is well above the theoretical threshold. Therefore, the proposed unique nanostructure synthesis approach would open new frontiers for developing more realistic and sustainable host materials with feasible battery parameters for various energy storage applications.

Abstract
Developing nonprecious electrocatalysts operating in acidic and alkaline media for an oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is essential for sustainable energy technologies. Increasing the metal active site density is an effective strategy to enhance the activity, but it remains challenging because of metal sintering during pyrolysis. Here, we report a novel strategy of enriching atomically dispersed cobalt species in nitrogen-doped carbon for improving the electrocatalytic performance. A hollow carbon nanosphere with reduced shell thickness was obtained by taking advantage of the carbothermic reaction between carbon and ZnO template, and the resulting cobalt enrichment in the ultrathin carbon shell leads to an increase of the density of Co atoms. Together with advantageous microstructure features such as high surface area and multiscale porosity, the corresponding catalyst demonstrated promising oxygen reduction reaction performance in strong acidic and alkaline electrolytes and has two times higher kinetic current density than the nonenriched one. The present work provides an attractive and facile route to engineer active site in electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived carbon materials were widely reported as the anodes of lithium-ion capacitors (LICs). However, tunning the structure and electrochemical performance of the MOF-derived carbon materials is still challenging. Herein, metal carbide materials of Co3ZnC@NC-8:2 were obtained by the pyrolysis of the MOF materials of Co0.2Zn0.8ZIF-8 (Zn/Co ratio of 8:2). A half-cell assembled with the Co3ZnC@NC-8:2 electrode exhibits a discharge capacity of the electrode material of 598 mAh g-1 at a current density of 0.1 A g-1. After 100 cycles, the retention rate of discharge specific capacity is about 90%. The high performance of Co3ZnC@NC-8:2 is ascribed to its high crystalline degree and well-defined structure, which facilitates the intercalation/deintercalation of lithium ions and buffers the volume change during the charge/discharge process. The high capacitance contribution ratio calculated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) curves at different scanning rates indicates the pseudocapacitance storage mechanism. LICs constructed from the Co3ZnC@NC-8:2 material have a rectangular CV curve, while the charge-discharge curve has a symmetrical triangular shape. This study indicates that MOF-derived carbon is one of the promising materials for high-performance LICs.

Abstract
The development of nonprecious catalysts for hydrogenation of organic molecules is of great importance in heterogeneous catalysis. Herein, we report a series of N-doped hollow carbon frameworks encompassing cobalt nanoparticles (denoted as Co@NHF-900) constructed as a new kind of reusable catalyst for this purpose by pyrolysis of ZIF-8@Co-dopamine under Ar atmospheres. Notably, the framework of ZIF-8 is essential for efficient catalyst by providing a carbon framework to support Co-dopamine. The experimental results reveal that the ZIF-8 renders a large hollow place within the catalysts, allowing the enrichment of the substrate and windows of the hollow structure and the ease of mass transfer of products during the reaction. All of the virtues made Co@NHF-900 a good candidate for hydrogenation of quinolines with high activity (TOF value of 119 h-1, which is several times than that of akin catalysts) and chemoselectivity.

Abstract
Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are a subclass of metal organic frameworks that have attracted considerable attention in the past years and have found many applications including heterogeneous catalysis due to their highly ordered porous structure, large surface area, and structural flexibility. However, ZIFs are largely utilized as simple hosts or passive media for dispersing other catalytically active species, resembling the roles of zeolites in catalysis. In contrast, our recent findings show that ZIFs not only have broad absorption across the UV-visible and near IR spectral region but also have an exceptionally long-lived excited charge separated state, suggesting that ZIFs may be used as intrinsic light harvesting and photocatalytic materials rather than as inert hosts. This Perspective will focus on the recent progress on the fundamental studies of the intrinsic light absorption, charge separation, and photocatalytic properties of ZIFs and will discuss the outlook for future development.
