[PMID: 38647267 DOI: 10.1002/advs.202400101] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2024] [Revised: 03/14/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024]
Abstract
Hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) are emerging porous materials that show high structural flexibility, mild synthetic conditions, good solution processability, easy healing and regeneration, and good recyclability. Although these properties give them many potential multifunctional applications, their frameworks are unstable due to the presence of only weak and reversible hydrogen bonds. In this work, the development history and synthesis methods of HOFs are reviewed, and categorize their structural design concepts and strategies to improve their stability. More importantly, due to the significant potential of the latest HOF-related research for addressing energy and environmental issues, this work discusses the latest advances in the methods of energy storage and conversion, energy substance generation and isolation, environmental detection and isolation, degradation and transformation, and biological applications. Furthermore, a discussion of the coupling orientation of HOF in the cross-cutting fields of energy and environment is presented for the first time. Finally, current challenges, opportunities, and strategies for the development of HOFs to advance their energy and environmental applications are discussed.

Abstract
Polyoxometalates (POMs), a kind of molecular metal oxide cluster with unique physical-chemical properties, have made essential contributions to creating efficient and robust electrocatalysts in renewable energy systems. Due to the fundamental advantages of POMs, such as the diversity of molecular structures and large numbers of redox active sites, numerous efforts have been devoted to extending their application areas. Up to now, various strategies of assembling POM molecules into superstructures, supporting POMs on heterogeneous substrates, and POMs-derived metal compounds have been developed for synthesizing electrocatalysts. From a multidisciplinary perspective, the latest advances in creating POM-structured materials with a unique focus on their molecular fundamentals, electrocatalytic roles, and the recent breakthroughs of POMs and POM-derived electrocatalysts, are systematically summarized. Notably, this paper focuses on exposing the current states, essences, and mechanisms of how POM-structured materials influence their electrocatalytic activities and discloses the critical requirements for future developments. The future challenges, objectives, comparisons, and perspectives for creating POM-structured materials are also systematically discussed. It is anticipated that this review will offer a substantial impact on stimulating interdisciplinary efforts for the prosperities and widespread utilizations of POM-structured materials in electrocatalysis.

Abstract
To overcome the drawbacks of high solubility and instability of polyoxometalates (POMs) in aqueous solution and to expand their application in the electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 (ECR), we assemble sandwich-type POMs, K10[(PW9O34)2M4(H2O)2] (M = Mn, Ni, Zn, shortened as P2W18M4), into the hexagonal channel of a porphyrin-based metal-organic framework (MOF) PCN-222 to form P2W18M4@PCN-222 composites. Their ECR behavior displays polyoxoanion-dependent activity. P2W18Mn4@PCN-222 demonstrates a faradaic efficiency of 72.6% for the CO product (FECO), more than four times that of PCN-222 (FECO = 18.1%), and exhibits exceptional electrochemical stability over 36 h. P2W18Ni4@PCN-222 and P2W18Zn4@PCN-222 slightly increase (26.9%) and decrease (3.2%) in FECO, respectively. We combine the results with density functional theory (DFT) calculations to help understand the intrinsic reasons which reveals that the rate-determining step (RDS) reaction energy of P2W18Mn4@PCN-222 and P2W18Ni4@PCN-222 is significantly reduced compared to that of PCN-222. It is different in P2W18Zn4@PCN-222. Frontier molecular orbitals electron distribution results hint at directional electron transfer from P2W18Mn4/P2W18Ni4 to the porphyrin ring active center in PCN-222, promoting the electro-reduction of CO2 activity. By contrast, P2W18Zn4 may accumulate electrons from PCN-222, thus facilitating the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). This work reveals the critical role of sandwich-type POMs in manipulating the electron transfer pathway during the electrocatalytic process. Our findings would broaden the scope of POM applications in electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction.

ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2023; 10:e2206239. [PMID: 36599650 PMCID: PMC9982586 DOI: 10.1002/advs.202206239] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2022] [Revised: 12/05/2022] [Indexed: 05/05/2023]
Abstract
Metal-porphyrins or metal-phthalocyanines-based organic frameworks (POFs), an emerging family of metal-N-C materials, have attracted widespread interest for application in electrocatalysis due to their unique metal-N4 coordination structure, high conjugated π-electron system, tunable components, and chemical stability. The key challenges of POFs as high-performance electrocatalysts are the need for rational design for porphyrins/phthalocyanines building blocks and an in-depth understanding of structure-activity relationships. Herein, the synthesis methods, the catalytic activity modulation principles, and the electrocatalytic behaviors of 2D/3D POFs are summarized. Notably, detailed pathways are given for modulating the intrinsic activity of the M-N4 site by the microenvironments, including central metal ions, substituent groups, and heteroatom dopants. Meanwhile, the topology tuning and hybrid system, which affect the conjugation network or conductivity of POFs, are also considered. Furthermore, the representative electrocatalytic applications of structured POFs in efficient and environmental-friendly energy conversion areas, such as carbon dioxide reduction reaction, oxygen reduction reaction, and water splitting are briefly discussed. Overall, this comprehensive review focusing on the frontier will provide multidisciplinary and multi-perspective guidance for the subsequent experimental and theoretical progress of POFs and reveal their key challenges and application prospects in future electrocatalytic energy conversion systems.

Abstract
The electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (ECO2RR) is considered one of the approaches with the most potential to achieve lower carbon emissions in the future, but a huge gap still exists between the current ECO2RR technology and industrial applications. Therefore, the design and preparation of catalysts with satisfactory activity, selectivity and stability for the ECO2RR have attracted extensive attention. As a classic type of functional porous framework, crystalline porous materials (e.g., metal organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs)) and derived porous materials (e.g., MOF/COF composites and pyrolysates) have been regarded as superior catalysts for the ECO2RR due to their advantages such as designable porosity, modifiable skeleton, flexible active site structure, regulable charge transfer pathway and controllable morphology. Meanwhile, with the rapid development of nano-characterization and theoretical calculation technologies, the structure-activity relationships of functional porous frameworks have been comprehensively considered, i.e., metallic element type, local coordination environment, and microstructure, corresponding to selectivity, activity and mass transfer efficiency for the ECO2RR, respectively. In this review, the rational design strategy for functional porous frameworks is briefly but precisely generalized based on three key factors including metallic element type, local coordination environment, and microstructure. Then, details about the structure-activity relationships for functional porous frameworks are illustrated in the order of MOFs, COFs, composites and pyrolysates to analyze the effect of the above-mentioned three factors on their ECO2RR performance. Finally, the challenges and perspectives of functional porous frameworks for the further development of the ECO2RR are reasonably proposed, aiming to offer insights for future studies in this intriguing and significant research field.

Abstract
Described is an approach to preparing the first iClick network metallopolymers with porous properties. Treating digoldazido complex 2-AuN3 with trigoldacetylide 3-AuPPh3 or 3-AuPEt3, trialkyne 3-H, tetragoldacetylide 4-AuPPh3, or tetraalkyne 4-H in CH2Cl2 affords five iClick network metallopolymers 5-AuPPh3, 5-AuPEt3, 5-H, 6-AuPPh3, and 6-H. Confirmation of the iClick network metallopolymers comes from FTIR, 13C solid-state cross-coupling magic angle spinning (CPMAS) NMR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and nitrogen and CO2 sorption analysis. Employing model complexes 7-AuPPh3, 7-AuPEt3, 7-H, 8-AuPPh3, and 8-H provides structural insights due to the insolubility of iClick network metallopolymers.

Abstract
Direct electrochemical conversion of CO2 to CO product powered by renewable electricity is widely advocated as an emerging strategy for alleviating CO2 emissions while addressing global energy issues. However, the development of low-cost and efficient electrocatalysts with high Faradaic efficiency for CO production (FECO ) and high current density remains a grand challenge. Herein, a robust single nickel atomic site electrocatalyst, which features isolated and dense single atomic NiN3 sites anchored on highly defective hierarchically micro-mesoporous carbon (Ni-SAs/HMMNC-800), to enable enhanced charge transport and more exposed active sites for catalyzing electrochemical CO2 -to-CO conversion, is reported. The Ni-SAs/HMMNC-800 catalyst achieves excellent activity and selectivity with high FECO values of >90% throughout a wide potential range (the FECO reaches 99.5% at -0.7 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode) and a CO partial current density as high as 13.0 mA cm-2 at -0.7 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode, as well as a far outstanding durability during long-term continuous operation, indicating a superior CO2 electroreduction performance than that of other reference samples and most of previously reported carbon-based single atom electrocatalysts. Experimental and density functional theory calculations reveal that atomic NiN3 coordination sites coupled adjacent defects are favorable to significantly enhancing the formation of COOH* reaction intermediates while suppressing the competing hydrogen evolution reaction, thereby enhancing the electrocatalytic activity for CO2 -to-CO reduction. Notably, this work provides a valuable new prospect for designing and synthesizing efficient and cost-effective single atom CO2 electroreduction catalysts for practical applications.

Abstract
Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are considered a promising catalyst for photocatalytic CO2 reduction due to their broad photoresponse, facile channels for electron transfer, and the presence of abundant defects. Herein, we reported for the first time the fabrication of a novel photocatalyst MIL-100@NiMn-LDH with a hierarchical architecture by selecting MIL-100 (Mn) as a template to provide Mn3+ for the in situ growth of ultrathin NiMn-LDH nanosheets. Moreover, the in situ growth strategy exhibited excellent universality toward constructing MIL-100@LDH hierarchical architectures. When applied in the photocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction, the as-prepared MIL-100@NiMn-LDH exhibited excellent CH4 selectivity of 88.8% (2.84 μmol h-1), while the selectivity of H2 was reduced to 1.8% under visible light irradiation (λ > 500 nm). Such excellent catalytic performance can be attributed to the fact that (a) the MIL-100@NiMn-LDH hierarchical architectures with exposed catalytic active sites helped to enhance the CO2 adsorption and activation and (b) the presence of rich oxygen vacancies and coordinately unsaturated metal sites in MIL-100@NiMn-LDH that optimized the band gap and accelerated the separation/transport of photoinduced charges.

Abstract
Recently, there has been a wave of reports on the fabrication of peptide-based underwater adhesives with the aim of understanding the adhesion mechanism of marine sessile organisms or creating new biomaterials beyond nature. However, the poor shear adhesion performance of the current peptide adhesives has largely hindered their applications. Herein, we proposed to sequentially perform the interfacial adhesion and bulk cohesion of peptide-based underwater adhesives using two redox-complementary peptide/polyoxometalate (POM) coacervates. The oxidative coacervates were prepared by mixing oxidative H5PMo10V2O40 and cationic peptides in an aqueous solution. The reductive coacervates consisted of K5BW12O40 and cysteine-containing reductive peptides. Each of the individual coacervate has well-defined spreading capacity to achieve fast interfacial attachment and adhesion, but their cohesion is poor. However, after mixing the two redox-complementary coacervates at the target surface, effective adhesion and spontaneous curing were observed. We identified that the spontaneous curing resulted from the H5PMo10V2O40-regulated oxidization of cysteine-containing peptides. The formed intermolecular disulfide bonds improved the cross-linking density of the dual-peptide/POM coacervates, giving rise to the enhanced bulk cohesion and mechanical strength. More importantly, the resultant adhesives showcased excellent bioactivity to selectively suppress the growth of Gram-positive bacteria due to the presence of the polyoxometalates. This work raises further potential in the creation of biomimetic adhesives through the orchestrating of covalent and noncovalent interactions in a sequential fashion.
