Hoefnagel ME, Hetterscheid DGH. The Role of Metal-Organic Framework Induced Confinement Effects on Molecular Electrocatalysts Relevant to the Energy Transition. CHEMSUSCHEM 2025:e2402676.

Abstract
Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising materials for (electro)catalysis as they can improve stability, reusability, and catalytic current densities of molecular catalysts, thereby combining the advantages of homogeneous- and heterogeneous catalysts. However, much is unknown about the effects of confinement of a catalyst within an MOF on the overall catalytic behavior. The performance of a series of electrocatalysts confined in MOFs is compared to that of the corresponding homogeneous catalysts to evaluate to what extend the catalytic site is affected by confinement in terms of stability, activity, and selectivity. Together the examples discuss depict what happens to a catalyst when it is incorporated into an MOF, and recommendations are made on how to evaluate the electrochemical activity of an MOF in a way that allows for description of such confinement effects on the catalyst performance. It is noted that the limiting factor for the catalytic reaction in MOFs is found in 1) slow electron transport, 2) slow mass transport of reactants and products, or 3) a low activity of the catalytic site itself. Understanding the changes in mass- and electron transport and the resulting effects on catalytic mechanism is essential to be able to bring MOF systems to practical applications.

Abstract
The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) can take place via both four-electron (4e-) and two-electron (2e-) pathways. The 4e- ORR, which produces water (H2O) as the only product, is the key reaction at the cathode of fuel cells and metal-air batteries. On the other hand, the 2e- ORR can be used to electrocatalytically synthesize hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). For the practical applications of the ORR, it is very important to precisely control the selectivity. Understanding structural effects on the ORR provides the basis to control the selectivity. Co-based electrocatalysts have been extensively studied for the ORR due to their high activity, low cost, and relative ease of synthesis. More importantly, by appropriately designing their structures, Co-based electrocatalysts can become highly selective for either the 2e- or the 4e- ORR. Therefore, Co-based electrocatalysts are ideal models for studying fundamental structure-selectivity relationships of the ORR. This review starts by introducing the reaction mechanism and selectivity evaluation of the ORR. Next, Co-based electrocatalysts, especially Co porphyrins, used for the ORR with both 2e- and 4e- selectivity are summarized and discussed, which leads to the conclusion of several key structural factors for ORR selectivity regulation. On the basis of this understanding, future works on the use of Co-based electrocatalysts for the ORR are suggested. This review is valuable for the rational design of molecular catalysts and material catalysts with high selectivity for 4e- and 2e- ORRs. The structural regulation of Co-based electrocatalysts also provides insights into the design and development of ORR electrocatalysts based on other metal elements.

Abstract
The hetero photooxidation of sulfide under aqueous conditions is of great importance in the green synthesis of sulfoxide. This process requires a type of solid photocatalyst with the properties of high porosity and water stability, as well as photosensitivity. Herein, a stable Ir-Zr-MOF material (compound 1) with high porosity is assembled from two linear linkers of a 2-phenylquinoline-4-carboxylic acid-Ir(III) complex (Irphen) and 4,4'-stilbenedicarboxylic acid (H2SDC), and a Zr6 cluster. 1 is isostructural to JLU-Liu34 with a composition of [Zr6O4.78(OH)3.22(SDC)3.82(Irphen)0.78TFA2.8]·2.8MeOH and permanent porosity with a BET surface area of 1507 m2 g-1. 1 exhibits improved activity for the photocatalytic aerobic oxidation of sulfide to sulfoxide via blue light irradiation under aqueous conditions. Mechanism studies demonstrate that a superoxide radical is the reactive oxygen species in the sulfide photooxidation. 1 can be readily recycled and reused at least 5 times without loss of catalytic activity. This work not only provides a good strategy for the assembly of an Ir(III) complex into MOFs but also an efficient method for the green synthesis of sulfoxide.

Abstract
The discovery of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with novel structures provides significant opportunities for developing porous solids with new properties and enriching the structural diversity of functional materials for various applications. The rational design of building units with specific geometric conformations is essential to direct the construction of MOFs with unique properties. Herein, we leverage a ligand desymmetrization approach to construct a series of new MOFs. A flexible tetratopic carboxylate ligand with a tetrahedral geometry was designed and assembled with a Zr6 cluster, generating four Zr-based MOF structures: NU-2600, NU-2700, NU-2800, and NU-1802, in which the ligand configurations and Zr6 cluster connectivities can be controlled by varying solvents and modulators during synthesis. Except for NU-1802, these represent entirely new topologies. Notably, NU-1802 exhibits structural flexibility, with up to a 74 % reduction in the unit cell volume as confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Given their microporous structures, we studied the adsorption behaviors of n-hexane and 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide to explore the structure-property relationships of these MOFs. Overall, this work highlights ligand desymmetrization as a powerful method to enrich MOF structural diversity and access complex MOFs with non-default topologies suitable for applications such as toxic gas capture.

Abstract
Nanoscale framework materials have attracted extensive attention due to their diverse morphology and good properties, and synthesis methods of different size structures have been reported. Therefore, the relationship between different sizes and performance has become a research hotspot. This paper reviews the controllable synthesis strategies of nano-metal-organic frameworks (nano-MOFs) and nano-covalent-organic frameworks (nano-COFs). Firstly, the synthetic evolution of nano-frame materials is summarized. Due to their special surface area, regular pores and adjustable structural functions, nano-frame materials have attracted much attention. Then the preparation methods of nanostructures with different dimensions are introduced. These synthetic strategies provide the basis for the design of novel energy storage and catalytic materials. In addition, the latest advances in the field of energy storage and catalysis are reviewed, with emphasis on the application of nano-MOFs/COFs in zinc-, lithium-, and sodium-based batteries, as well as supercapacitors.

Abstract
Trinuclear cobalt porphyrin(2.1.2.1) nanobelts have been synthesized. The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) study reveals that the catalyst featuring a nanobelt cyclic structure with three cobalt active sites favors the 4e- ORR pathway, attaining a selectivity for H2O formation that approaches 100%. This research provides a novel strategy for ORR catalyst design, where the expansive pore structure of the nanobelt complex facilitates substrate binding, while multiple active sites are provided by the multimetallic cavity.

Abstract
Iron-based porphyrin metal-organic frameworks (PMOFs) are a new type of material with good stability, catalytic activities, and reusability, which have broad application prospects. However, the synthesis of iron-based PMOFs with different metalloporphyrin units requires a considerable amount of reagents and time. Herein, an in situ synthesis method was developed to simplify the synthetic process of iron-based PMOFs. A series of highly stable iron-based PMOFs (Msitu-PMOF-3(Fe) (M = Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Pd)) were synthesized in one pot without the preparation of metalloporphyrin ligands in advance. This synthesis method is simpler and more efficient, saving considerable time and material costs. The resultant Msitu-PMOF-3(Fe) exhibits a high tolerance to aqueous solutions with pH ranging from 0 to 11, as well as various organic solvents. The catalytic experiments show that both Fesitu-PMOF-3(Fe) and Cositu-PMOF-3(Fe) can catalyze the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of cyclohexanone using air as an oxidant at 35 °C. Moreover, when the mixtures of Fesitu-PMOF-3(Fe) and Cositu-PMOF-3(Fe) were employed as catalyst, they can exert a cooperative catalysis effect, resulting in a significantly enhanced catalytic activity compared to a single component. The mild reaction condition, high catalytic efficiency, and excellent selectivity endow this catalytic system with a good application prospect. This work not only provides a new approach for the synthesis of iron-based PMOFs but also offers guidance for the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation reactions using air under mild conditions.

Abstract
Zinc-air batteries employing non-Pt cathodes hold significant promise for advancing cathodic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, poor intrinsic electrical conductivity and aggregation tendency hinder the application of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as active ORR cathodes. Conductive MOFs possess various atomically dispersed metal centers and well-aligned inherent topologies, eliminating the additional carbonization processes for achieving high conductivity. Here, a novel room-temperature electrochemical cathodic electrodeposition method is introduced for fabricating uniform and continuous layered 2D bimetallic conductive MOF films cathodes without polymeric binders, employing the organic ligand 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexaiminotriphenylene (HITP) and varying the Ni/Cu ratio. The influence of metal centers on modulating the ORR performance is investigated by density functional theory (DFT), demonstrating the performance of bimetallic conductive MOFs can be effectively tuned by the unpaired 3d electrons and the Jahn-Teller effect in the doped Cu. The resulting bimetallic Ni2.1Cu0.9(HITP)2 exhibits superior ORR performance, boasting a high onset potential of 0.93 V. Moreover, the assembled aqueous zinc-air battery demonstrates high specific capacity of 706.2 mA h g-1, and exceptional long-term charge/discharge stability exceeding 1250 cycles.

Abstract
Despite the challenges associated with the synthesis of flexible metal-covalent organic frameworks (MCOFs), these offer the unique advantage of maximizing the atomic utilization efficiency. However, the construction of flexible MCOFs with flexible building units or linkages has rarely been reported. In this study, novel flexible MCOFs are constructed using flexible building blocks and copper clusters with hydrazone linkages. The heterometallic frameworks (Cu, Co) are prepared through the hydrazone linkage coordination method and evaluated as catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Owing to the spatial separation and functional cooperation of the heterometallic MCOF catalysts, the as-synthesized MCOFs exhibited outstanding catalytic activities with an overpotential of 268.8 mV at 10 mA cm-2 for the OER in 1 M KOH, which is superior to those of the reported covalent organic frameworks (COFs)-based OER catalysts. Theoretical calculations further elucidated the synergistic effect of heterometallic active sites within the linkages and frameworks, contributing to the enhanced OER activity. This study thus introduces a novel approach to the fundamental design of flexible MCOF catalysts for the OER, emphasizing their enhanced atomic utilization efficiency.

Abstract
ConspectusIn the development of 2D metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and 2D covalent organic frameworks (COFs), obtaining structural details at the atomic level is crucial to understanding their properties and related mechanisms in potential applications. However, since 2D-MOFs and COFs are composed of layered structures and often exhibit sheet-like morphologies, it is challenging to grow large crystals suitable for single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD). Therefore, ab initio structure determination, which refers to solving the structure directly from experimental data without using any prior knowledge or computational input, is extremely rare for 2D-MOFs and COFs. In contrast to SCXRD, three-dimensional electron diffraction (3DED) only requires crystals sized in tens or hundreds of nanometers, making it an ideal method for single-crystal analysis of 2D-MOFs and COFs and obtaining their fine structural details.In this Account, we describe our recent development of the 3DED method and its application in structure determination and property studies of 2D-MOFs and COFs. A key development is the establishment of a continuous 3DED data collection protocol. By collecting electron diffraction (ED) patterns continuously while performing crystal tilting, the electron dose applied to the target nanocrystal is greatly reduced. This allows the acquisition of high-resolution 3DED data from 2D-MOFs and COFs by minimizing their damage under the electron beam. We have also developed an approach to couple 3DED with real-space structure solution methods, i.e., simulated annealing (SA), for single-crystal structural analysis of materials that do not have high crystallinity. We successfully determined two 2D-COF structures by combining 3DED with SA.We provide several examples demonstrating the application of 3DED for the ab initio structure determination of 2D-MOFs and COFs, revealing not only their in-plane structures but also their stacking modes at the atomic level. Notably, the obtained structural details serve as the foundation for further understanding the properties of 2D-MOFs and COFs, such as their electronic band structures, charge mobilities, etc. Beyond structure determination, we describe our work on using 3DED as a high-throughput method for the discovery of new materials. Using this approach, we discovered a novel MOF that was present only in trace amounts within a multiphasic mixture. Through this discovery, we were able to tune the synthesis conditions to obtain its pure phase.We detail how 3DED can be used to probe different levels of molecular motions in MOFs through the analysis of anisotropic displacement parameters (ADPs). Additionally, we show that 3DED can provide accurate information about intermolecular weak interactions such as hydrogen bonding and van der Waals (vdW) interactions. Our studies demonstrate that 3DED is a valuable method for the structural analysis of 2D-MOFs and COFs. We envision that 3DED can accelerate research in these fields by providing unambiguous structural models at the atomic level.

Natl Sci Rev 2024; 11:nwae332. [PMID: 39398293 PMCID: PMC11467994 DOI: 10.1093/nsr/nwae332] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2024] [Revised: 09/08/2024] [Accepted: 09/14/2024] [Indexed: 10/15/2024] Open
Abstract
The chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect offers promising prospects for spintronics, yet designing chiral materials that enable efficient spin-polarized electron transport remains challenging. Here, we report the utility of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) in manipulating electron spin for spin-dependent catalysis via CISS. This enables us to design and synthesize three three-dimensional chiral COFs (CCOFs) with tunable electroactivity and spin-electron conductivity through imine condensations of enantiopure 1,1'-binaphthol-derived tetraaldehyde and tetraamines derived from 1,4-benzenediamine, pyrene, or tetrathiafulvalene skeletons. The CISS effect of CCOFs is verified by magnetic conductive atomic force microscopy. Compared with their achiral analogs, these CCOFs serve as efficient spin filters, reducing the overpotential of oxygen evolution and improving the Tafel slope. Particularly, the diarylamine-based CCOF showed a low overpotential of 430 mV (vs reversible hydrogen electrode) at 10 mA cm-2 with long-term stability comparable to the commercial RuO2. This enhanced spin-dependent OER activity stems from its excellent redox-activity, good electron conductivity and effective suppression effect on the formation of H2O2 byproducts.

Abstract
Multinuclear metal clusters are ideal candidates to catalyze small molecule activation reactions involving the transfer of multiple electrons. However, synthesizing active metal clusters is a big challenge. Herein, on constructing an unparalleled Co4(SO4)4 cluster within porphyrin-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and the electrocatalytic features of such Co4(SO4)4 clusters for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is reported. The reaction of CoII sulfate and metal complexes of tetrakis(4-pyridyl)porphyrin under solvothermal conditions afforded Co4-M-MOFs (M═Co, Cu, and Zn). Crystallographic studies revealed that these Co4-M-MOFs have the same framework structure, having the Co4(SO4)4 clusters connected by metalloporphyrin units through Co─Npyridyl bonds. In the Co4(SO4)4 cluster, the four CoII ions are chemically and symmetrically equivalent and are each coordinated with four sulfate O atoms to give a distorted cube-like structure. Electrocatalytic studies showed that these Co4-M-MOFs are all active for electrocatalytic OER and ORR. Importantly, by regulating the activity of the metalloporphyrin units, it is confirmed that the Co4(SO4)4 cluster is active for oxygen electrocatalysis. With the use of Co porphyrins as connecting units, Co4-Co-MOF displays the highest electrocatalytic activity in this series of MOFs by showing a 10 mA cm-2 OER current density at 357 mV overpotential and an ORR half-wave potential at 0.83 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE). Theoretical studies revealed the synergistic effect of two proximal Co atoms in the Co4(SO4)4 cluster in OER by facilitating the formation of O─O bonds. This work is of fundamental significance to present the construction of Co4(SO4)4 clusters in framework structures for oxygen electrocatalysis and to demonstrate the cooperation between two proximal Co atoms in such clusters during the O─O bond formation process.

Abstract
Due to their exceptional chemical stability in water and high structural tunability, zirconium(IV)-based MOFs (Zr-MOFs) have been considered attractive materials in the broad fields of electrocatalysis. Numerous studies published since 2015 have attempted to utilise Zr-MOFs in electrocatalysis, with the porous framework serving as either the active electrocatalyst or the scaffold or surface coating to further enhance the performance of the actual electrocatalyst. Herein, the roles of Zr-MOFs in electrocatalytic processes are discussed, and some selected examples reporting the applications of Zr-MOFs in various electrocatalytic reactions, including several studies from our group, are overviewed. Challenges, limitations and opportunities in using Zr-MOFs in electrocatalysis in future studies are discussed.

Abstract
The antimicrobial activity of new acid-functionalized porphyrins, with or without ultra-high irradiance, was investigated. Antibacterial efficacy was evaluated against Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-resistant or methicillin-sensitive strains) and antifungal efficacy was evaluated against the yeast Candida albicans and the filamentous fungi Aspergillus fumigatus. Overall, the porphyrins tested are more effective against S. aureus. The best results were obtained with zinc diacid porphyrins 4 and 5 after only 3 min of ultra-high irradiation (500 mW/cm2, 405 nm), demonstrating that acid-functionalized porphyrins are promising as novel antimicrobial drugs for surface disinfection.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are an ideal template to construct high-efficiency catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) due to their predictable properties. However, the closely parallel-stacking manner and lacking intramolecular electron transfer ability of COFs limit atomic utilization efficiency and intrinsic activity. Herein, COFs are constructed with large interlayer distances and enhanced electronic transfer ability by side-chain functionalization. Long chains with electron-donating features not only enlarge interlayer distance, but also narrow the bandgap. The resulting DPPS-COF displays higher electrochemical surface areas to provide more exposed active sites, despite <1/10 surface areas. DPPS-COF exhibits excellent electrocatalytic ORR activity with half-wave potential of 0.85 V, which is 30 and 60 mV positive than those of Pt/C and DPP-COF, and is the record among the reported COFs. DPPS-COF is employed as cathode electrocatalyst for zinc-air battery with a maximum power density of 185.2 mW cm-2, which is superior to Pt/C. Theoretical calculation further reveals that longer electronic-donating chains not only facilitate the formation of intermediate OOH* from O2, but also promote intermediates desorption , and thus leading to higher activity.

Abstract
Here we design TM-BTA catalysts for the electrochemical synthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), focusing on the efficient two-electron (2e-) oxygen reduction pathway. Employing density functional theory (DFT), we screened 17 transition metals, identifying Co-BTA and Rh-BTA as outstanding candidates based on their low overpotentials and superior catalytic activity. A key innovation is the application of mechanical strain to these catalysts, significantly optimizing their performance by modulating the d-band center. This approach enhances the adsorption of oxygen-containing intermediates, crucial for the 2e- ORR process. Our findings demonstrate that a tensile strain of 1.95% optimally enhances catalytic efficiency in both Co-BTA and Rh-BTA, substantially reducing overpotential. This research not only highlights the potential of TM-BTA catalysts in H2O2 production but also underscores the importance of strain modulation as a cost-effective and efficient method to improve the selectivity and activity of electrocatalysts, offering a novel perspective in the field of sustainable chemical synthesis.

Abstract
Sustainable alternatives for the energy intensive synthesis of H2O2 are necessary. Molecular cobalt catalysts show potential but are typically restricted by undesired bimolecular pathways leading to the breakdown of both H2O2 and the catalyst. The confinement of cobalt porphyrins in the PCN-224 metal-organic framework leads to an enhanced selectivity towards H2O2 and stability of the catalyst. Consequently, oxygen can now be selectively reduced to hydrogen peroxide with a stable conversion for at least 5 h, illustrating the potential of catalysts confined in MOFs to increase the selectivity and stability of electrocatalytic conversions.

Abstract
Electron microscopy, an important technique that allows for the precise determination of structural information with high spatiotemporal resolution, has become indispensable in unravelling the complex relationships between material structure and properties ranging from mesoscale morphology to atomic arrangement. However, beam-sensitive materials, particularly those comprising organic components such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs), would suffer catastrophic damage from the high energy electrons, hindering the determination of atomic structures. A low-dose approach has arisen as a possible solution to this problem based on the integration of advancements in several aspects: electron optical system, detector, image processing, and specimen preservation. This article summarizes the transmission electron microscopy characterization of MOFs and COFs, including local structures, host-guest interactions, and interfaces at the atomic level. Revolutions in advanced direct electron detectors, algorithms in image acquisition and processing, and emerging methodology for high quality low-dose imaging are also reviewed. Finally, perspectives on the future development of electron microscopy methodology with the support of computer science are presented.

Abstract
The development of nonpyrolytic catalysts featuring precisely defined active sites represents an effective strategy for investigating the fundamental relationship between the catalytic activity of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts and their local coordination environments. In this study, we have synthesized a series of model electrocatalysts with well-defined CoN4 centers and nonplanar symmetric coordination structures. These catalysts were prepared by a sequential process involving the chelation of cobalt salts and 1,10-phenanthroline-based ligands with various substituent groups (phen(X), where X=OH, CH3, H, Br, Cl) onto covalent triazine frameworks (CTFs). By modulating the electron-donating or electron-withdrawing properties of the substituent groups on the phen-based ligands, the electron density surrounding the CoN4 centers was effectively controlled. Our results demonstrated a direct correlation between the catalytic activity of the CoN4 centers and the electron-donating ability of the substituent group on the phenanthroline ligands. Notably, the catalyst denoted as BCTF-Co-phen(OH), featuring the electron-donating OH group, exhibited the highest ORR catalytic activity. This custom-crafted catalyst achieved a remarkable half-wave potential of up to 0.80 V vs. RHE and an impressive turnover frequency (TOF) value of 47.4×10-3 Hz at 0.80 V vs. RHE in an alkaline environment.

Abstract
Precise tuning the structure of catalytic center is of great importance for the construction of enhanced electrochemiluminescence (ECL) emitters and the development of ECL amplification strategies, which is a key factor in improving the sensitivity of biosensors. In this work, we report the enhanced ECL emitters based on the porphyrin-based paddlewheel framework (PPF) with axial coordinated imidazole-like ligands (PPF/X, X = 2-methylimidazole (MeIm), imidazole (Im), benzimidazole (BIM)). In this system, the electron-donating ability of the axial ligands is positively correlated to its coordination ability to the paddlewheel units and the catalytic ability of the axially coordinated paddlewheel units. In addition, the electrochemical and ECL behavior of PPF/X (X = MeIm, Im, BIM) with different axial coordinated ligands are explored.

Abstract
Solar-thermal water evaporation is a promising strategy for clean water production, which needs the development of solar-thermal conversion materials with both high efficiency and high stability. Herein, we reported an ultra-stable cobalt(II)-organic assembly NKU-123 with light-generated radicals, exhibiting superior photothermal conversion efficiency and high stability. Under the irradiation of 808 nm light, the temperature of NKU-123 rapidly increases from 25.5 to 215.1 °C in 6 seconds. The solar water evaporator based on NKU-123 achieves a high solar-thermal water evaporation rate of 1.442 and 1.299 kg m-2 h-1 under 1-sun irradiation with a water evaporation efficiency of 97.8 and 87.9 % for pure water and seawater, respectively. A detailed mechanism study revealed that the formation of light-generated radicals leads to an increase of spin density of NKU-123 for enhancing the photothermal effect, which provides insights into the design of highly efficient photothermal materials.

Abstract
The combination of compositional versatility and topological diversity for the integration of electroactive species into high-porosity molecular architectures is perhaps one of the main appeals of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in the field of electrocatalysis. This premise has attracted much interest in recent years, and the results generated have also revealed one of the main limitations of molecular materials in this context: low stability under electrocatalytic conditions. Using zirconium MOFs as a starting point, in this work, we use this stability as a variable to discriminate between the most suitable electrocatalytic reaction and specific topologies within this family. Our results revealed that the PCN-224 family is particularly suitable for the electroreduction of molecular nitrogen for the formation of ammonia with faradaic efficiencies above 30% in the presence of Ni2+ sites, an activity that improves most of the catalysts described. We also introduce the fluorination of porphyrin at the meso position as a good alternative to improve both the activity and stability of this material under electrocatalytic conditions.

Abstract
The in situ solvothermal conversion of metal-organic gels (MOGs) to crystalline metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) represents a versatile and ingenious strategy that has been employed for the synthesis of MOF materials with specific morphologies, high yield, and improved functional properties. Herein, we have adopted an in situ solvothermal conversion of bimetallic MOGs to crystalline bimetallic MOFs with the aim of introducing a redox-active metal heterogeneity into the monometallic counterpart. The formation of bimetallic NiZn-MOF and CoZn-MOF via in situ solvothermal sol-gel-crystal and sol-crystal transformation is found to depend on the solvent systems used. The sol-to-gel-to-crystal transformation of NiZn-MOF via the formation of NiZn-MOG is found to occur through the gradual disruption of gel fibers leading to subsequent formation of microcrystals and single crystals of NiZn-MOF. These bimetallic MOFs and MOGs serve as promising electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) with an excellent methanol tolerance property, which can be attributed to the enhanced mass and charge transfer, higher oxygen vacancies, and bimetallic synergistic interactions among the heterometals. This work demonstrates a convenient strategy for producing bimetallic MOGs to MOFs through the introduction of a redox-active metal heterogeneity in the inorganic hybrid functional materials for fundamental and applied research. Our results connect MOGs and MOFs which have been regarded as having opposite physical states, that is, soft vs hard, and provide promising structural correlation between MOGs and MOFs at the molecular level.

Abstract
Oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is the bottleneck of metal-air batteries and fuel cells. Strain regulation can change the geometry and adjust the surface charge distribution of catalysts, which is a powerful strategy to optimize the ORR activity. The introduction of controlled strain to the material is still difficult to achieve. Herein, we present a temperature-pressure-induced strategy to achieve the controlled lattice strain for metal coordination polymers. Through the systematic study of the strain effect on ORR performance, the relationship between geometric and electronic effects is further understood and confirmed. The strained Co-DABDT (DABDT=2,5-diaminobenzene-1,4-dithiol) with 2 % lattice compression exhibits a superior half-wave potential of 0.81 V. Theoretical analysis reveals that the lattice strain changes spin-charge densities around S atoms for Co-DABDT, and then regulates the hydrogen bond interaction with intermediates to promote the ORR catalytic process. This work helps to understand the catalytic mechanism from the atomic level.

Abstract
Natural metalloenzymes with astonishing reaction activity and specificity underpin essential life transformations. Nevertheless, enzymes only operate under mild conditions to keep sophisticated structures active, limiting their potential applications. Artificial metalloenzymes that recapitulate the catalytic activity of enzymes can not only circumvent the enzymatic fragility but also bring versatile functions into practice. Among them, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) featuring diverse and site-isolated metal sites and supramolecular structures have emerged as promising candidates for metalloenzymes to move toward unparalleled properties and behaviour of enzymes. In this review, we systematically summarize the significant advances in MOF-based metalloenzyme mimics with a special emphasis on active pocket engineering at the atomic level, including primary catalytic sites and secondary coordination spheres. Then, the deep understanding of catalytic mechanisms and their advanced applications are discussed. Finally, a perspective on this emerging frontier research is provided to advance bioinspired catalysis.

Abstract
The use of platinum-free (Pt) cathode electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reactions (ORRs) has been significantly studied over the past decade, improving slow reaction mechanisms. For many significant energy conversion and storage technologies, including fuel cells and metal-air batteries, the ORR is a crucial process. These have motivated the development of highly active and long-lasting platinum-free electrocatalysts, which cost less than proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). Researchers have identified a novel, non-precious carbon-based electrocatalyst material as the most effective substitute for platinum (Pt) electrocatalysts. Rich sources, outstanding electrical conductivity, adaptable molecular structures, and environmental compatibility are just a few of its benefits. Additionally, the increased surface area and the simplicity of regulating its structure can significantly improve the electrocatalyst's reactive sites and mass transport. Other benefits include the use of heteroatoms and single or multiple metal atoms, which are capable of acting as extremely effective ORR electrocatalysts. The rapid innovations in non-precious carbon-based nanomaterials in the ORR electrocatalyst field are the main topics of this review. As a result, this review provides an overview of the basic ORR reaction and the mechanism of the active sites in non-precious carbon-based electrocatalysts. Further analysis of the development, performance, and evaluation of these systems is provided in more detail. Furthermore, the significance of doping is highlighted and discussed, which shows how researchers can enhance the properties of electrocatalysts. Finally, this review discusses the existing challenges and expectations for the development of highly efficient and inexpensive electrocatalysts that are linked to crucial technologies in this expanding field.

Abstract
Low-nuclear site catalysts with dual atoms have the potential for applications in energy and catalysis chemistry. Understanding the formation mechanism of dual metal sites is crucial for optimizing local structures and designing desired binuclear sites catalysts. In this study, we demonstrate for the first time the formation process of dual atoms through the pyrolysis of the interface of a double framework using Zn atoms in metal-organic frameworks and Co atoms in covalent organic frameworks. We unambiguously revealed that the cooling stage is the key point to form the binuclear sites by employing the in situ synchrotron radiation X-ray absorption spectrum technique. The binuclear site catalysts show higher activity and selectivity than single dispersed atom catalysts for electrocatalytic oxygen reduction. This work guides us to synthesize and optimize the various binuclear sites for extensive catalytic applications.

Abstract
The use of conductive MOFs (c-MOFs) in zinc-based batteries has been a popular research direction. Zinc-based batteries are widely used with the advantages of high specific capacity and safety and stability, but they also face many problems. c-MOFs have excellent conductivity compared with other primitive MOFs, and therefore have better applications in zinc-based batteries. In this paper, the transfer mechanisms of the unique charges of c-MOFs: hop transport and band transport, respectively, are discussed and the way of electron transport is further addressed. Then, the various ways to prepare c-MOFs are introduced, among which solvothermal, interfacial synthesis, and postprocessing methods are widely used. In addition, the applications of c-MOFs are discussed in terms of their role and performance in different types of zinc-based batteries. Finally, the current problems of c-MOFs and the prospects for their future development are presented.

Abstract
Electrocatalysis is to play a key role in the transition towards a sustainable chemical and energy industry and active, stable and selective redox catalysts are much needed. Porous structures such as metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are interesting materials as these may influence selectivity of chemical reactions through confinement effects. In this work, the oxygen reduction catalyst Cu-tmpa was incorporated into the NU1000 MOF. Confinement of the catalyst within NU1000 steers the selectivity of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) towards water rather than peroxide. This is attributed to retention of the obligatory H2 O2 intermediate in close proximity to the catalytic center. Moreover, the resulting NU1000|Cu-tmpa MOF shows an excellent activity and stability in prolonged electrochemical studies, illustrating the potential of this approach.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with well-defined porous structures and highly active frameworks are considered as promising electrode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, the structure pulverization upon sodiation/desodiation impacts on their practical application in SIBs. To address this issue, poly(p-phenylenediamine) (PPA) was uniformly coated onto the surface of MIL-88A, a typical Fe-based MOF through in situ polymerization initiated by the metal ions (Fe3+) of MIL-88A. Used as an anode material for SIBs, the PPA-coated MIL-88A, denoted as PPA@MIL-88A, showed significantly improved electrochemical performance. A reversible capacity as high as 230 mAh g-1 was achieved at 0.2 A g-1 even after 500 cycles. MIL-88A constructed with electrochemically active Fe3+ and fumaric acid ligands guarantees the high specific capacity, while the PPA polymer coating effectively inhibits the pulverization of MIL-88A. This work provides an efficient strategy for improving the structure and cycling stability of MOFs-based electrode materials.

Abstract
Carbon nitrides that expose atomically dispersed single-atom metals in the form of M-N-C (M = metal) sites are attractive earth-abundant catalyst materials that have been demonstrated in electrocatalytic conversion reactions. The catalytic performance is determined by the abundance of N-doped sites and the type of metal coordination to N, but challenges remain to synthesize pristine carbon nitrides with a high concentration of the most active sites and prepare homogeneously doped materials that allow for in-depth characterization of the M-N-C sites and quantitative evaluation of their catalytic performance. Herein, we have synthesized and characterized a well-defined monolayer carbon nitride phase on a Au(111) surface that exposes an exceedingly high concentration of Co-N4 sites. The crystalline monolayer carbon nitride, whose formation is controlled by an on-surface reaction between Co atoms and melamine on Au(111), is characterized by a dense array of 4- and 6-fold N-terminated pockets, whereof only the 4-fold pocket is found to be holding Co atoms. Through detailed characterization using scanning tunneling microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and density functional theory modeling, we determine the atomic structure and chemical state of the carbon nitride network. Furthermore, we show that the monolayer carbon nitride structure is stable and reactive toward the electrocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction in alkaline electrolyte, with a quantitative performance metric that significantly exceeds comparable M-N-C-based catalyst types. The work demonstrates that high-density active catalytic sites can be created using common precursor materials, and the formed networks themselves offer an excellent platform for onward studies addressing the characteristics of M-N-C sites.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), composed of metal nodes and inorganic linkers, are promising for a wide range of applications due to their unique periodic frameworks. Understanding structure-activity relationships can facilitate the development of new MOFs. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is a powerful technique to characterize the microstructures of MOFs at the atomic scale. In addition, it is possible to directly visualize the microstructural evolution of MOFs in real time under working conditions via in situ TEM setups. Although MOFs are sensitive to high-energy electron beams, much progress has been made due to the development of advanced TEM. In this review, we first introduce the main damage mechanisms for MOFs under electron-beam irradiation and two strategies to minimize these damages: low-dose TEM and cryo-TEM. Then we discuss three typical techniques to analyze the microstructure of MOFs, including three-dimensional electron diffraction, imaging using direct-detection electron-counting cameras, and iDPC-STEM. Groundbreaking milestones and research advances of MOFs structures obtained with these techniques are highlighted. In situ TEM studies are reviewed to provide insights into the dynamics of MOFs induced by various stimuli. Additionally, perspectives are analyzed for promising TEM techniques in the research of MOFs' structures.

Abstract
The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) underpins many aspects of energy storage and conversion in modern industry and technology, but which still be suffering from the dilemma of sluggish reaction kinetics and poor electrochemical performance. Different from the viewpoint of nanostructuring, this work focuses on an intriguing dynamic orbital hybridization approach to renormalize the disordering spin configuration in porous noble-metal-free metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to accelerate the spin-dependent reaction kinetics in OER. Herein, we propose an extraordinary super-exchange interaction to reconfigure the domain direction of spin nets at porous MOFs through temporarily bonding with dynamic magnetic ions in electrolytes under alternating electromagnetic field stimulation, in which the spin renormalization from disordering low-spin state to high-spin state facilitates rapid water dissociation and optimal carrier migration, leading to a spin-dependent reaction pathway. Therefore, the spin-renormalized MOFs demonstrate a mass activity of 2,095.1 A gmetal-1 at an overpotential of 0.33 V, which is about 5.9 time of pristine ones. Our findings provide a insight into reconfiguring spin-related catalysts with ordering domain directions to accelerate the oxygen reaction kinetics.

Abstract
The modularity and synthetic flexibility of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have provoked analogies with enzymes, and even the term MOFzymes has been coined. In this review, we focus on molecular catalysis of energy relevance in MOFs, more specifically water oxidation, oxygen and carbon dioxide reduction, as well as hydrogen evolution in context of the MOF-enzyme analogy. Similar to enzymes, catalyst encapsulation in MOFs leads to structural stabilization under turnover conditions, while catalyst motifs that are synthetically out of reach in a homogeneous solution phase may be attainable as secondary building units in MOFs. Exploring the unique synthetic possibilities in MOFs, specific groups in the second and third coordination sphere around the catalytic active site have been incorporated to facilitate catalysis. A key difference between enzymes and MOFs is the fact that active site concentrations in the latter are often considerably higher, leading to charge and mass transport limitations in MOFs that are more severe than those in enzymes. High catalyst concentrations also put a limit on the distance between catalysts, and thus the available space for higher coordination sphere engineering. As transport is important for MOF-borne catalysis, a system perspective is chosen to highlight concepts that address the issue. A detailed section on transport and light-driven reactivity sets the stage for a concise review of the currently available literature on utilizing principles from Nature and system design for the preparation of catalytic MOF-based materials.

Abstract
Enzymatic catalysis has fueled considerable interest from chemists due to its high efficiency and selectivity. However, the structural complexity and vulnerability hamper the application potentials of enzymes. Driven by the practical demand for chemical conversion, there is a long-sought quest for bioinspired catalysts reproducing and even surpassing the functions of natural enzymes. As nanoporous materials with high surface areas and crystallinity, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) represent an exquisite case of how natural enzymes and their active sites are integrated into porous solids, affording bioinspired heterogeneous catalysts with superior stability and customizable structures. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the advances of bioinspired MOFs for catalysis, discuss the design principle of various MOF-based catalysts, such as MOF-enzyme composites and MOFs embedded with active sites, and explore the utility of these catalysts in different reactions. The advantages of MOFs as enzyme mimetics are also highlighted, including confinement, templating effects, and functionality, in comparison with homogeneous supramolecular catalysts. A perspective is provided to discuss potential solutions addressing current challenges in MOF catalysis.

Abstract
The use of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) has been a very attractive research area that has received widespread attention in the modern world.

Abstract
The development of efficient and sustainable electrochemical systems able to provide clean-energy fuels and chemicals is one of the main current challenges of materials science and engineering. Over the last decades, significant advances have been made in the development of robust electrocatalysts for different reactions, with fundamental insights from both computational and experimental work. Some of the most promising systems in the literature are based on expensive and scarce platinum-group metals; however, natural enzymes show the highest per-site catalytic activities, while their active sites are based exclusively on earth-abundant metals. Additionally, natural biomass provides a valuable feedstock for producing advanced carbonaceous materials with porous hierarchical structures. Utilizing resources and design inspiration from nature can help create more sustainable and cost-effective strategies for manufacturing cost-effective, sustainable, and robust electrochemical materials and devices. This review spans from materials to device engineering; we initially discuss the design of carbon-based materials with bioinspired features (such as enzyme active sites), the utilization of biomass resources to construct tailored carbon materials, and their activity in aqueous electrocatalysis for water splitting, oxygen reduction, and CO2 reduction. We then delve in the applicability of bioinspired features in electrochemical devices, such as the engineering of bioinspired mass transport and electrode interfaces. Finally, we address remaining challenges, such as the stability of bioinspired active sites or the activity of metal-free carbon materials, and discuss new potential research directions that can open the gates to the implementation of bioinspired sustainable materials in electrochemical devices.

Abstract
Dual-atom catalysts (DACs) have become an emerging platform to provide more flexible active sites for electrocatalytic reactions with multi-electron/proton transfer, such as the CO2 reduction reaction (CRR). However, the introduction of asymmetric dual-atom sites causes complexity in structure, leaving an incomprehensive understanding of the inter-metal interaction and catalytic mechanism. Taking NiCu DACs as an example, herein, a more rational structural model is proposed, and the distance-dependent inter-metal interaction is investigated by combining theoretical simulations and experiments, including density functional theory computation, aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy, synchrotron-based X-ray absorption fine structure, and Monte Carlo experiments. A distance threshold around 5.3 Å between adjacent NiN4 and CuN4 moieties is revealed to trigger effective electronic regulation and boost CRR performance on both selectivity and activity. A universal macro-descriptor rigorously correlating the inter-metal distance and intrinsic material features (e.g., metal loading and thickness) is established to guide the rational design and synthesis of advanced DACs. This study highlights the significance of identifying the inter-metal interaction in DACs, and helps bridge the gap between theoretical study and experimental synthesis of atomically dispersed catalysts with highly correlated active sites.

Abstract
Designing N-coordinated porous single-atom catalysts (SACs) for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is a promising approach to achieve enhanced energy conversion due to maximized atom utilization and higher activity. Here, we report two Co(II)-porphyrin/ [2,1,3]-benzothiadiazole (BTD)-based covalent organic frameworks (COFs; Co@rhm-PorBTD and Co@sql-PorBTD), which are efficient SAC systems for O2 electrocatalysis (ORR). Experimental results demonstrate that these two COFs outperform the mass activity (at 0.85 V) of commercial Pt/C (20%) by 5.8 times (Co@rhm-PorBTD) and 1.3 times (Co@sql-PorBTD), respectively. The specific activities of Co@rhm-PorBTD and Co@sql-PorBTD were found to be 10 times and 2.5 times larger than that of Pt/C, respectively. These COFs also exhibit larger power density and recycling stability in Zn-air batteries compared with a Pt/C-based air cathode. A theoretical analysis demonstrates that the combination of Co-porphyrin with two different BTD ligands affords two crystalline porous electrocatalysts having different d-band center positions, which leads to reactivity differences toward alkaline ORR. The strategy, design, and electrochemical performance of these two COFs offer a pyrolysis-free bottom-up approach that avoids the creation of random atomic sites, significant metal aggregation, or unpredictable structural features.

Abstract
Synthesizing large-area free-standing covalent organic framework (COF) films is of vital importance for their applications but is still a big challenge. Herein, we reported the synthesis of large metalloporphyrin-based COF films and their applications for oxygen electrocatalysis. The reaction of meso-benzohydrazide-substituted metal porphyrins with tris-aldehyde linkers afforded free-standing COF films at the liquid-air interface. These films can be scaled up to 3000 cm2 area and display great mechanical stability and structural integrity. Importantly, the Co-porphyrin-based films are efficient for electrocatalytic O2 reduction and evolution reactions. A flexible, all-solid-state Zn-air battery was assembled using the films and showed high performance with a charge-discharge voltage gap of 0.88 V at 1 mA cm-2 and high stability under bent conditions (0° to 180°). This work thus presents a strategy to synthesize functionalized COF films with high quality for uses in flexible electronics.

Abstract
Metal-porphyrinic frameworks are an important subclass of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). These porous materials exhibit a large number of applications for sustainable development and related environmental considerations. Their attractive features include (1) as a free base or metalated with zinc(II) or iron(II or III), they are environmentally benign, and (2) they absorb visible light and are emissive and semi-conducting, making them convenient tools for sensing agrochemicals. But the key feature that makes these nano-sized pristine materials or their composites in many ways superior to most MOFs is their ability to photo-generate reactive oxygen species with visible light, including singlet oxygen. This review describes important issues related to agriculture, including controlled delivery of pesticides and agrochemicals, detection of pesticides and pathogenic metals, elimination of pesticides and toxic metals, and photodynamic antimicrobial activity, and has an important implication for food safety. This comprehensive review presents the progress of the rather rapid developments of these functional and increasingly nano-sized materials and composites in the area of sustainable agriculture.

Abstract
Developing bifunctional catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is essential for the development of zinc–air batteries (ZABs), but several challenges remain in terms of bifunctional activity. FeCo2S4/N-S-rGO was prepared by in situ homogeneous growth of bimetallic sulfide FeCo2S4 on N, S-doped reduced graphene oxide. FeCo2S4/N-S-rGO exhibits a half-wave potential of 0.89 V for ORR and an overpotential of 0.26 V at 10 mA cm−2 for OER, showing significantly bifunctional activity superior to Pt/C (0.85 V) and RuO2 (0.41 V). Moreover, the FeCo2S4/N-S-rGO assembled ZAB shows a superior specific capacity and a power density of 259.13 mW cm−2. It is demonstrated that the interfacial electron redistribution between FeCo2S4 nanoparticles and heteroatom-doped rGO matrix can efficiently improve the electrochemical performance of the catalyst. The results provide new insights into the preparation of high-capability composite catalysts combining transition metal sulfides with carbon materials for applications in ZABs.

Abstract
Photocatalytic hydrogen evolution from water splitting presents an attractive prospect in dealing with the energy crisis, but the low efficiency of charge separation and migration still seriously hinders its further practical application. Here, an acidified boron-doped g-C3N4 (HBCNN) and cobalt porphyrin metal organic frameworks (CoPMOF) self-assembled two-dimensional and two-dimensional (2D/2D) hybrid photocatalyst is fabricated successfully. The resultant HBCNN/CoPMOF with optimum ratio exhibits a superior H2 evolution rate of 33.17 mmol g-1 h-1, which is 3.04 and 100.50 times higher than the single HBCNN and CoPMOF, respectively. It is found that a coordination connection has formed between CoPMOF and HBCNN through Co-N bond, and the interfacial Co-N bond then forms a pseudo-gap in the up-spin channel of electronic states, establishing an electron-hole separation mechanism. It is this electron-hole separation mechanism that contributes to a Z-scheme transport mode of photogenerated carriers, which greatly promotes the photocatalytic H2 production performance of HBCNN/CoPMOF heterostructure. This work may provide an idea for the design of heterojunction to improve the photocatalytic performance by constructing electron-hole separation through interfacial bond.
