Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been used to detect uric acid (UA), but still very challenging to achieve a low detection limit due to the low inferior conductivity of MOFs. Herein, three different N-doped ZIF-67-derived carbons were synthesized for the first time by one-step co-pyrolysis of 2-methylimidazole with cobalt nitrate (CN), cobalt acetate (CA) or cobalt chloride (CC) toward UA sensing. Afterwards, the cobalt nitrate-derived Co particle (Co/CN) supported by N-doped ZIF-67-derived carbon displays extremely low detection limit and high sensitivity for UA, outperformed all reported MOFs-based UA sensors. More interestingly, it was discovered that the high valence Co4+ within the Co/CN sample produced in high-acidic environment can intercalate in the frame for a bridge adsorption between two reaction sites, which boosted simultaneous 2-electron transfer, while Co3+ only allows an end-adsorption structure for one-electron transfer being the rate determining step. Furthermore, the bridge adsorption mode of UA on Co4+ -based catalyst was also verified by theoretical DFT calculations and XPS experiment. This work holds great promise for a selective and sensitive UA sensor for practical bioscience and clinic diagnostic applications while shedding lights in fundamental research for innovative designs and developments of high-sensitive electrochemical sensors.

Effect of synthesis temperature on the structural morphology of a metal-organic framework and the capacitor performance of derived cobalt-nickel layered double hydroxides.

Abstract
Three-dimensional interconnected nickel-cobalt layered double hydroxides (NiCo-LDHs) were prepared on nickel foam by ion exchange using a cobalt-based metal-organic framework (Co-MOF) as a template at different temperatures. The effects of the Co-MOF preparation temperature on the growth, mass, morphology, and electrochemical properties of the Co-MOF and derived NiCo-LDH samples were studied. The synthesis temperature from 30 to 50 °C gradually increased the mass of the active material and the thickness of the Co-MOF sheets grown on the nickel foam. The higher the temperature is, the larger the proportion of Co3+. β-Cobalt hydroxide (β-Co(OH)2) sheets were generated above 60 °C. The morphology and mass loading pattern of the derived flocculent layer clusters of NiCo-LDH were inherited from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The areal capacitance of NiCo-LDH shows an inverted U-shaped curve trend with increasing temperature. The electrode material synthesized at 50 °C had a tremendous specific capacitance of 7631 mF·cm-2 at a current density of 2 mA·cm-2. The asymmetric supercapacitor assembled with the sample and active carbon (AC) achieved an energy density of 55.0 Wh·kg-1 at a power density of 800.0 W·kg-1, demonstrating the great potential of the NiCo-LDH material for energy storage. This work presents a new strategy for designing and fabricating advanced green supercapacitor materials with large power and energy densities.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising electrode materials for supercapacitors (SCs) due to their highly porous structures, tunable chemical compositions, and diverse morphologies. However, their applications are hindered by low conductivity and poor cycling performance. A novel approach for resolving this issue involves the growth of layered double hydroxides (LDHs) using MOFs as efficient templates or precursors for electrode material preparation. This method effectively enhances the stability, electrical conductivity, and mass transport ability of MOFs. The MOF-derived LDH exhibits a well-defined porous micro-/nano-structure, facilitating the dispersion of active sites and preventing the aggregation of LDHs. Firstly, this paper introduces synthesis strategies for converting MOFs into LDHs. Subsequently, recent research progress in MOF-derived LDHs encompassing pristine LDH powders, LDH composites, and LDH-based arrays, along with their applications in SCs, is overviewed. Finally, the challenges associated with MOF-derived LDH electrode materials and potential solutions are discussed.

Abstract
Pyroptosis has garnered increasing attention because of its ability to trigger robust antitumor immunity. Pyroptosis is initiated by the activation of inflammasomes, which are regulated by various organelles. The collaboration among organelles offers several protective mechanisms to prevent activation of the inflammasome, thereby limiting the induction of efficient pyroptosis. Herein, a multiorganelle homeostasis disruptor (denoted BLL) is constructed by encapsulating liposomes and bortezomib (BTZ) within a layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanocage to continuously activate inflammasomes for inducing efficient pyroptosis. In lysosomes, the negatively charged liposomes are released to recruit the NLRP3 inflammasomes through electrostatic interactions. ER stress is induced by BTZ to enhance the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. Meanwhile, the BLL nanocage exhibited H+-scavenging ability due to the weak alkalinity of LDH, thus disrupting the homeostasis of the lysosome and alleviating the degradation of the NLRP3 inflammasome by lysosomal-associated autophagy. Our results suggest that the BLL nanocage induces homeostatic imbalance in various organelles and efficient pyroptosis. We hope this work can provide new insights into the design of an efficient pyroptosis inducer by disrupting the homeostatic balance of multiple organelles and promote the development of novel antineoplastic platforms.

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
Assembling a heterostructure is an effective strategy for enhancing the electrocatalytic activity of hybrid materials. Herein, CoFe-layered double hydroxide and Co-metal-organic framework (CoFe-LDH/Co-MOF) hollow heterostructure nanorod arrays are synthesized. First, [Co(DIPL)(H3BTC)(H2O)2]n [named as Co-MOF, DIPL = 2,6-di(pyrid-4-yl)-4-phenylpyridine, H3BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid] crystalline materials with a uniform hollow structure were prepared on the nickel foam. The CoFe-LDH/Co-MOF composite perfectly inherits the original hollow nanorod array morphology after the subsequent electrodeposition process. Optimized CoFe-LDH/Co-MOF hollow heterostructure nanorod arrays display excellent performance in oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with ultralow overpotentials of 215 mV to deliver current densities of 10 mA cm-2 and maintain the electrocatalytic activity for a duration as long as 220 h, ranking it one of the non-noble metal-based electrocatalysts for OER. Density functional theory calculations validate the reduction in free energy for the rate-determining step by the synergistic effect of Co-MOF and CoFe-LDH, with the increased charge density and noticeable electron transfer at the Co-O site, which highlights the capability of Co-MOF to finely adjust the electronic structure and facilitate the creation of active sites. This work establishes an experimental and theoretical basis for promoting efficient water splitting through the design of heterostructures in catalysts.

Abstract
Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are considered as promising electrocatalytic materials due to their tunable porosity, functional organic ligands, and large specific surface area for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Recently, most reported electrocatalysts focus on the establishing heterogeneous structures by thermal treatments to improve OER performance. However, the thermal treatments are accompanied by the complex synthetic process and destruction of the MOFs structure. Therefore, improving the catalytic performance of pristine MOFs remains a challenge. Here, a series of trimetallic MaMbMc-MOFs (M represents metal element) were synthesized by one-pot method. Modulating the Co/Ni ratio not only adjusts the morphology of FeCoNi-MOFs, but also effectively optimizes the electronic structure. The composition-optimized FeCo0.5Ni2.5-MOF nano-bundles (FeCo0.5Ni2.5-NBs) only required a low overpotential of 273 mV to achieve the current density of 10 mA cm-2 in alkaline solution, with a Tafel slope of 51.1 mV dec-1, lower than other FeCoNi-MOFs and commercial RuO2 catalyst. The two-electrode couple FeCo0.5Ni2.5-NBs || Pt/C achieved the cell voltage of 1.55 V, delivering current density of 10 mA cm-2 for overall water splitting.

Abstract
As a reliable biomarker to evaluate the severity of sepsis, sensitive and accurate detection of procalcitonin (PCT) is essential. In this study, a dual-mode electrochemical immunosensor based on Au/ZIF-8 as substrate and Pt@Cu2O as signal label was constructed for the detection of PCT. By loading Au nanoparticles onto rhombic dodecahedral ZIF-8, the substrate (Au/ZIF-8) has large specific surface area and can immobilize antibody (Ab1) by Au-N bonds. Meanwhile, hollow Pt@Cu2O nanocomposite with excellent peroxidase-like activity and electrocatalytic activity were synthesized as signal label. In the process of electrochemical testing, Pt@Cu2O catalyzed the reduction of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and further promotes the oxidation of hydroquinone (HQ) to achieve the synergistic amplification of electrochemical signals. The proposed immunosensor detected PCT by amperometric i-t and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) tests with a good linear response and low limit of detection (i-t: 0.70 fg/mL and DPV: 0.40 fg/mL) in the range of 10 fg/mL∼100 ng/mL. The immunosensor exhibited excellent sensitivity and accuracy, indicating the potential application of this method for PCT detection.

Abstract
Hierarchically structured bimetal hydroxides are promising for electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER), yet synthetically challenging. Here, the nanoconfined hydrolysis of a hitherto unknown CoFe-bimetal-organic compound (b-MOC) is reported for the controllable synthesis of highly OER active nanostructures of CoFe layered double hydroxide (LDH). The nanoporous structures trigger the nanoconfined hydrolysis in the sacrificial b-MOC template, producing CoFe LDH core-shell octahedrons, nanoporous octahedrons, and hollow nanocages with abundant under-coordinated metal sites. The hollow nanocages of CoFe LDH demonstrate a remarkable turnover frequency (TOF) of 0.0505 s-1 for OER catalysis at an overpotential of 300 mV. It is durable in up to 50 h of electrolysis at step current densities of 10-100 mA cm-2 . Ex situ and in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopic analysis combined with theoretical calculations suggests that under-coordinated Co cations can bind with deprotonated Fe-OH motifs to form OER active Fe-O-Co dimmers in the electrochemical oxidation process, thereby contributing to the good catalytic activity. This work presents an efficient strategy for the synthesis of highly under-coordinated bimetal hydroxide nanostructures. The mechanistic understanding underscores the power of maximizing the amount of bimetal-dimer sites for efficient OER catalysis.

Abstract
CoNi-LDH (layered CoNi double hydroxides) hollow nanocages with specific morphology are obtained by Ni ion etching of ZIF-67 (Zeolitic imidazolate framework-67). The structure of the layered materials is further modified by molecular intercalation. The original interlayer anions are replaced by the ion exchange effect of terephthalic acid, which helps to increase the interlayer distance of the material. The intercalated cage-like structures not only benefit for the storage of oxygen, and the discharge product reaction, but also have more support between the material layers. The experimental results show that the excessive use of intercalation agent will affect structural stability of the intercalated CoNi-LDH. By adjusting the amount of terephthalic acid, the intercalated CoNi-LDH-2 (with 0.02 mmol terephthalic acid intercalated) is not easy to collapse after 209 cycles and shows the best electrochemical performance in Li-O2 battery.

Abstract
The limited active sites and poor acid-alkaline solution stability of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), significantly limit their wider application. In this study, the acid property of tannic acid (TA) was used as an etchant to etch the surface-active sites. Subsequently, the further chelation of the protonated TA with the exposed metal active site can effectively protect the metal ions. Meanwhile, the TA provided a large amount of phenolic hydroxyl groups, which can greatly improve the stability of imidazolate-coordinated MOFs. The electrochemical test results indicated that the MOFs composite materials synthesized using this scheme had high specific capacitance and stability. And the mechanism of its electrochemical reaction process was explored through in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) and theoretical calculations. In addition, the same treatment was carried out through a series of carboxyl-coordinated MOFs, which further confirmed the principle of this scheme to obtain a higher active site and stability. This paper explains the mechanism of functionalization of nano-MOFs by polyphenolic compounds, providing new ideas for the research of nano-MOFs.

Abstract
Developing efficient and affordable electrocatalysts for the sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER) remains a significant barrier that needs to be overcome for the practical applications of hydrogen production via water electrolysis, transforming CO2 to value-added chemicals, and metal-air batteries. Recently, hydroxides have shown promise as electrocatalysts for OER. In situ or operando techniques are particularly indispensable for monitoring the key intermediates together with understanding the reaction process, which is extremely important for revealing the formation/OER catalytic mechanism of hydroxides and preparing cost-effective electrocatalysts for OER. However, there is a lack of comprehensive discussion on the current status and challenges of studying these mechanisms using in situ or operando techniques, which hinders our ability to identify and address the obstacles present in this field. This review offers an overview of in situ or operando techniques, outlining their capabilities, advantages, and disadvantages. Recent findings related to the formation mechanism and OER catalytic mechanism of hydroxides revealed by in situ or operando techniques are also discussed in detail. Additionally, some current challenges in this field are concluded and appropriate solution strategies are provided.

Abstract
In situ liquid phase transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and three-dimensional electron tomography are powerful tools for investigating the growth mechanism of MOFs and understanding the factors that influence their particle morphology. However, their combined application to the study of MOF etching dynamics is limited due to the challenges of the technique such as sample preparation, limited field of view, low electron density, and data analysis complexity. In this research, we present a study employing in situ liquid phase TEM to investigate the etching mechanism of colloidal zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) nanoparticles. The etching process involves two distinct stages, resulting in the development of porous structures as well as partially and fully hollow morphologies. The etching process is induced by exposure to an acid solution, and both in situ and ex situ experiments demonstrate that the outer layer etches faster leading to overall volume shrinking (stage I) while the inner layer etches faster giving a hollow morphology (stage II), although both the outer layer and inner layer have been etched in the whole process. 3D electron tomography was used to quantify the properties of the hollow structures which show that the ZIF-67 crystal etching rate is larger than that of the ZIF-8 crystal at the same pH value. This study provides valuable insights into MOF particle morphology control and can lead to the development of novel MOF-based materials with tailored properties for various applications.

Abstract
Enzyme immobilization enables the fabrication of flexible and powerful biocatalytic systems that can meet the needs of green and efficient development in various fields. However, restricted electron and mass transfer during enzymatic reactions and disruption of the enzyme structure during encapsulation limit the wide application of the immobilized enzyme systems. Herein, we report an encapsulation strategy based on hollow-shell-layered double hydroxides (LDHs; ZnCo-LDH) for green and nondestructive enzyme immobilization. Benefiting from the protective and enzyme-friendly microenvironment provided by the hydrophilic hollow structure of ZnCo-LDH, the encapsulated enzyme maintains a nearly natural enzyme biostructure and enhanced stability. Notably, mesoporous ZnCo-LDH with excellent electrical properties considerably facilitates electron and mass transport during enzymatic reactions, exhibiting 5.56 times the catalytic efficiency of free enzymes or traditional enzyme encapsulation systems. The current study broadens the family of encapsulated carriers and alleviates the trade-off between enzyme stability and catalytic activity in the encapsulated state, presenting a promising avenue for the industrial application of the enzyme.

Abstract
Advances in hollow engineering of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have enabled a variety of applications in catalysts, sensors, and batteries, but the hollow derivatives are often limited to hydroxides, oxides, selenides, and sulfides with the presence of additional elements from the environment. Here we have successfully synthesized hollow metallic Co@Co cages through a facile two-step strategy. Interestingly, the Co@Co(C) cages with a small amount of residual carbon show excellent catalytic performance due to the abundant exposed active sites and fast charge transfer. During the hydrogen evolution reaction, the overpotential of Co@Co(C) is as low as ∼54 mV at the current density of 10 mA cm-2, which is close to that of ∼38 mV for the Pt/C electrodes. The two-step synthesis strategy opens up opportunities for increasing the number of catalytic active sites and rates of charge/mass transfer while pushing the limits of materials utilization beyond that achieved in existing MOF-based nanostructures.

Abstract
Materials derived from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have demonstrated exceptional structural variety and complexity and can be synthesized using low-cost scalable methods. Although the inherent instability and low electrical conductivity of MOFs are largely responsible for their low uptake for catalysis and energy storage, a superior alternative is MOF-derived metal-based derivatives (MDs) as these can retain the complex nanostructures of MOFs while exhibiting stability and electrical conductivities of several orders of magnitude higher. The present work comprehensively reviews MDs in terms of synthesis and their nanostructural design, including oxides, sulfides, phosphides, nitrides, carbides, transition metals, and other minor species. The focal point of the approach is the identification and rationalization of the design parameters that lead to the generation of optimal compositions, structures, nanostructures, and resultant performance parameters. The aim of this approach is to provide an inclusive platform for the strategies to design and process these materials for specific applications. This work is complemented by detailed figures that both summarize the design and processing approaches that have been reported and indicate potential trajectories for development. The work is also supported by comprehensive and up-to-date tabular coverage of the reported studies.

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 integration of ultrathin two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors with other conductive 2D materials to form hybrid electrocatalysts with abundant heterointerfaces can enhance the electrocatalytic activity by facilitating interfacial charge transfer. However, the hybrid electrocatalysts with weak interfacial bonding have limited effect on the electrocatalytic performance because the intrinsic activity of interfacial sites cannot be altered by weak interfacial interactions. As a proof-of-concept, we design ultrathin 2D-2D heterostructures with bridge-bonded Ni-O-Ti ligands based on single-layered Ti3C2TxMXene and metal hydroxides, and further reveal the structure-activity correlation between interfacial bonding and electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction by combining theoretical and experimental studies. Density functional theory calculations reveal the modulation of the electronic structure of interfacial metal sites after the formation of bridged interfacial Ni-O-Ti bonding. Compared with the hydrogen-bond-linked heterostructure, the ultrathin 2D-2D heterostructure with bridge-bonded Ni-O-Ti ligands shows enhanced intrinsic activity and stability towards electrocatalytic oxygen evolution with a very low overpotential of 205 mV at 10 mA cm-2and the long-term durability. This work provides a new understanding and approach for the design and development of 2D hybrid catalysts with highly efficient electrocatalytic activity.

Abstract
The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) are core steps of various energy conversion and storage systems. However, their sluggish reaction kinetics, i.e., the demanding multielectron transfer processes, still render OER/ORR catalysts less efficient for practical applications. Moreover, the complexity of the catalyst-electrolyte interface makes a comprehensive understanding of the intrinsic OER/ORR mechanisms challenging. Fortunately, recent advances of in situ/operando characterization techniques have facilitated the kinetic monitoring of catalysts under reaction conditions. Here we provide selected highlights of recent in situ/operando mechanistic studies of OER/ORR catalysts with the main emphasis placed on heterogeneous systems (primarily discussing first-row transition metals which operate under basic conditions), followed by a brief outlook on molecular catalysts. Key sections in this review are focused on determination of the true active species, identification of the active sites, and monitoring of the reactive intermediates. For in-depth insights into the above factors, a short overview of the metrics for accurate characterizations of OER/ORR catalysts is provided. A combination of the obtained time-resolved reaction information and reliable activity data will then guide the rational design of new catalysts. Strategies such as optimizing the restructuring process as well as overcoming the adsorption-energy scaling relations will be discussed. Finally, pending current challenges and prospects toward the understanding and development of efficient heterogeneous catalysts and selected homogeneous catalysts are presented.

Abstract
The NiCo alloy is one of the most promising alternatives to the noble-metal electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER); however, its performance is largely restricted by insufficient active sites and low surface area. Here, we fabricated a hierarchical hollow carbon cage supported NiCo alloy (denoted as HC NiCo/C) and a bulk NiCo alloy (denoted as NiCo) by reduction of a partially ZIF-67 etched ZIF-67@NiCo-LDH (LDH = layered double hydroxide) precursor and a fully ZIF-67 etched NiCo-LDH precursor, respectively. The as-prepared HC NiCo/C, in which the Ni29Co71 alloy nanocrystals with an average 6 nm size were encapsulated in graphitic carbon layers, provided a vastly increased electrochemically active surface area (ca. 13 times than the NiCo) and abundant catalytic active sites, which resulted in a higher HER performance with an overpotential of 99 mV than the 198 mV for NiCo at 10 mA cm-2. Detailed experimental results suggested that only the HC NiCo/C possessed the active alloy surface composed of unsaturated Ni0 and Co0 atoms, and both the metal-support interaction and alloying effect influenced the electronic structure of Co and Ni in HC NiCo/C, whereas the NiCo exhibited pure Ni surface. Theoretical calculations further revealed the Ni29Co71 alloy surface in HC NiCo/C possessed the appropriate adsorption energy of the intermediate state (adsorbed H*). This work provided new insight into the construction of the stable small-sized bimetallic alloy nanocatalysts by regulating the reduction precursors.

Abstract
Over the past years, metal-organic frameworks (MOF) have been directly used as electrodes or as a precursor for MOF-derived materials in energy storage and conversion systems. In the wide range of existing MOF derivatives, MOF-derived layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are determined to be promising materials due to their unique structure and features. However, MOF-derived LDHs (MDL) materials can suffer from insufficient intrinsic conductivity and agglomeration during formation. Various techniques and approaches were designed and applied to tackle these problems, such as using ternary LDHs, ion-doping, sulphurization, phosphorylation, selenization, direct growth, and conductive substrates. All the mentioned enhancement techniques aim to create the ideal electrode materials with maximum performance. In this review, we gathered and discussed the most recent progressive advances, different synthesis methodologies, unsolved challenges, applications, and electrochemical and electrocatalytic performance of MDL materials. We hope this work will be a reliable source for future progress and synthesis of these materials.

Abstract
The research on the structure of advanced electrode materials is significant in the field of supercapacitors. Herein, for the first time, we propose a novel 3D/3D composite structure by a multi-step process, in which 3D hollow NiCo LDH nanocages are immobilized on 3D sea urchin-like CoO microspheres. Results show that the 3D CoO acts as an efficient and stable channel for ion diffusion, while the hollow NiCo LDH provides abundant redox-active sites. The calculated results based on density function theory (DFT) show that the CoO@NiCo LDH heterostructure has an enhanced density of states (DOS) near the Fermi level and strong adsorption capacity for OH-, indicating its excellent electrical conductivity and electrochemical reaction kinetics. As a result, the CoO@NiCo LDH electrode has an areal specific capacity of 4.71C cm-2 at a current density of 3 mA cm-2 (440.19C g-1 at 0.28 A g-1) and can still maintain 88.76 % of the initial capacitance after 5000 cycles. In addition, the assembled hybrid supercapacitor has an energy density of 5.59 mWh cm-3 at 39.54 mW cm-3.

Abstract
In acute ischemic stroke therapy, potent neuroprotective agents are needed that prevent neural injuries caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) during ischemic reperfusion. Herein, a novel 2D neuroprotective agent (AFGd-LDH) is reported, comprising Gd-containing layered double hydroxide nanosheets (Gd-LDH, as a drug nanocarrier/MRI contrast agent), atorvastatin (ATO, as a neuroprotective drug) and the ferritin heavy subunit (FTH, as a blood brain barrier transport agent). Experiments revealed AFGd-LDH to possess outstanding antioxidant activity, neuroprotective properties, blood‒brain barrier transit properties, and biocompatibility. In vitro studies demonstrated the ROS scavenging efficiency of AFGd‒LDH to be ∼90%, surpassing CeO2 (50%, a ROS scavenger) and edaravone (52%, a clinical neuroprotective drug). Ischemia‒reperfusion model studies in mice showed AFGd‒LDH could dramatically decrease apoptosis induced by reperfusion, reducing the infarct area by 67% and lowering the neurological deficit score from 3.2 to 0.9. AFGd-LDH also offered outstanding MRI performance, thus enabling simultaneous imaging and ischemia reperfusion therapy. The simple stepwise method was used to construct AFGd-LDH by the confinement of atorvastatin and the ferritin heavy subunit (FTH) with Gd-LDH. AFGd-LDH demonstrated outstanding antioxidant activity and ROS scavenging efficiency. AFGd-LDH offered neuroprotective properties to dramatically decrease apoptosis induced by reperfusion. AFGd-LDH presented blood‒brain barrier transit properties and outstanding MRI performance, thus enabling simultaneous imaging and ischemia reperfusion therapy.

Abstract
Metal-ion hybrid capacitors (MIHCs) hold particular promise for next-generation energy storage technologies, which bridge the gap between the high energy density of conventional batteries and the high power density and long lifespan of supercapacitors (SCs). However, the achieved electrochemical performance of available MIHCs is still far from practical requirements. This is primarily attributed to the mismatch in capacity and reaction kinetics between the cathode and anode. In this regard, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and their derivatives offer great opportunities for high-performance MIHCs due to their high specific surface area, high porosity, topological diversity, and designable functional sites. In this review, instead of simply enumerating, we critically summarize the recent progress of MOFs and their derivatives in MIHCs (Li, Na, K, and Zn), while emphasizing the relationship between the structure/composition and electrochemical performance. In addition, existing issues and some representative design strategies are highlighted to inspire breaking through existing limitations. Finally, a brief conclusion and outlook are presented, along with current challenges and future opportunities for MOFs and their derivatives in MIHCs.

Abstract
The development of cost-effective bifunctional catalysts for water electrolysis is both a crucial necessity and an exciting scientific challenge. Herein, a simple approach based on a metal-organic framework sacrificial template to preparing cobalt molybdenum nitride supported on nitrogen-doped carbon nanosheets is reported. The porous structure of produced composite enables fast reaction kinetics, enhanced stability, and high corrosion resistance in critical seawater conditions. The cobalt molybdenum nitride-based electrocatalyst is tested toward both oxygen evolution reaction and hydrogen evolution reaction half-reactions using the seawater electrolyte, providing excellent performances that are rationalized using density functional theory. Subsequently, the nitride composite is tested as a bifunctional catalyst for the overall splitting of KOH-treated seawater from the Mediterranean Sea. The assembled system requires overpotentials of just 1.70 V to achieve a current density of 100 mA cm-2 in 1 M KOH seawater and continuously works for over 62 h. This work demonstrates the potential of transition-metal nitrides for seawater splitting and represents a step forward toward the cost-effective implementation of this technology.

Abstract
Hollow metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with careful phase engineering have been considered to be suitable candidates for high-performance microwave absorbents. However, there has been a lack of direct methods tailored to MOFs in this area. Here, a facile and safe Ni2+ -exchange strategy is proposed to synthesize graphite/CoNi alloy hollow porous composites from Ni2+ concentration-dependent etching of Zeolite imidazole frame-67 (ZIF-67) MOF and subsequent thermal field regulation. Such a special combination of hollow structure and carefully selected hybrid phase are with optimized impedance matching and electromagnetic attenuation. Especially, the suitable carrier transport model and the rich polarization site enhance the dielectric loss, while more significant hysteresis loss and more natural resonance increase the magnetic loss. As a result, excellent microwave absorbing (MA) performances of both broadband absorption (7.63 GHz) and high-efficiency loss (-63.79 dB) are obtained. Moreover, the applicability and practicability of the strategy are demonstrated. This work illustrates the unique advantages of ion-exchange strategy in structure design, component optimization, and electromagnetic regulation, providing a new reference for the 5G cause and MA field.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic water splitting has great research prospects in the production of green hydrogen energy, and electrocatalysts are the prerequisite. As widely employed efficient electrocatalysts, hollow nanostructures have attracted a lot of research attention due to their excellent catalytic activity and structural stability. Moreover, the abundant catalytically active sites and tunable morphology also make hollow nanomaterials promising electrocatalysts for water splitting. Despite these advantages, the industrial applications of these hollow nanocatalysts are impeded by limitations like the lack of effective synthesis methods and unclear formation mechanisms. Therefore, extensive efforts have been devoted to the development of efficient synthesis strategies to boost the development of more efficient hollow electrocatalysts, and great progress has been achieved in recent years. To gain a better understanding of the rapid development of hollow nanocatalysts for water splitting, we herein organize a review to summarize the recent synthetic methods and advantages of hollow materials with different dimensions. The specific advantages of hollow nanomaterials in electrocatalytic water splitting, such as abundant active sites, a stable structure, high mass transfer efficiency, and reduced aggregation of catalytic particles, are also summarized. Finally, the challenges and prospects of hollow nanostructures with multiple dimensions in electrocatalytic water splitting are further explored.

Abstract
Well-defined polyhedral ZIF-67 metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are usually synthesized using methanol as solvent. In this work, methanol is replaced with deionized water as a solvent to synthesize ZIF-67 MOFs with unique nanoflake morphology. The ZIF-67 nanoflakes are synthesized directly byin situmethod on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) to obtain ZIF-67/rGO-xprecursors which are further transformed into NiCo-layered double hydroxide nanocomposites (NiCo-LDH/rGO-x,x = 10, 30, 50 and 90 mg of rGO). The NiCo-LDH/rGO-xnanostructured composites are found to be excellent materials for battery type supercapacitor (supercapattery) applications. Among these samples, the NiCo-LDH/rGO-30 composite gives maximum specific capacity of 829 C g-1(1658 F g-1) at a current density of 1 A g-1and high rate capability. The as fabricated 2-electrode symmetric Swagelok deviceNiCo-LDH/rGO-30NiCo-LDH/rGO-30delivered a high energy density of 49.2 Wh kg-1and a power density of 4511 W kg-1, and enabled us to glow red, blue and white LED bulbs using three coin cells. The device can show good capacity retention even after 3000 continuous charge-discharge cycles. The NiCo-LDH/rGO-30 composite,in situderived from ZIF-67 MOF in combination with optimal amount of rGO, is an excellent material to deliver both high energy density and high power density in supercapattery devices.

Against the backdrop of increased public health awareness, inorganic nanomaterials have been widely explored as promising nanoagents for various kinds of biomedical applications. Layered double hydroxides (LDHs), with versatile physicochemical advantages including excellent biocompatibility, pH-sensitive biodegradability, highly tunable chemical composition and structure, and ease of composite formation with other materials, have shown great promise in biomedical applications. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the recent advances in LDH-based nanomaterials for biomedical applications. Firstly, the material categories and advantages of LDH-based nanomaterials are discussed. The preparation and surface modification of LDH-based nanomaterials, including pristine LDHs, LDH-based nanocomposites and LDH-derived nanomaterials, are then described. Thereafter, we systematically describe the great potential of LDHs in biomedical applications including drug/gene delivery, bioimaging diagnosis, cancer therapy, biosensing, tissue engineering, and anti-bacteria. Finally, on the basis of the current state of the art, we conclude with insights on the remaining challenges and future prospects in this rapidly emerging field.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of crystalline porous coordination materials with systematically designable network structures and tunable properties, demonstrating great potential for applications in diverse fields. However, the generally poor stability of dynamic coordination bonds in MOFs hinders their practical applications in harsh environments. Although MOFs have been used as precursors and templates for the production of various derivatives with enhanced stability via thermal treatment, the extreme thermolytic conditions often destroy the network structures, consequently resulting in obvious decreases in porosity and surface areas with undesired characteristics. This feature article discusses the generally used pathways for the transformation of MOFs and the advanced fabrication methods for the production of various MOF-derived materials. We particularly emphasize the recent progress in the designed strategies for customization and derivation tailoring of MOFs, which could produce MOF-derived functional materials with remaining framework skeletons and inherited characteristics (surface area, porosity and properties) of the parent MOFs, exhibiting great promise for practical applications.

Abstract
The development of high-performance and cost-effective earth-abundant transition metal-based electrocatalysts is of major interest for several key energy technologies, including water splitting. Herein, we report the synthesis of ultrathin CoMoP nanosheets through a simple ion etching and phosphorization method. The obtained catalyst exhibits outstanding electrocatalytic activity and stability towards oxygen and hydrogen evolution reactions (OER and HER), with overpotentials down to 273 and 89 mV at 10 mA cm−2, respectively. The produced CoMoP nanosheets are also characterized by very small Tafel slopes, 54.9 and 69.7 mV dec−1 for OER and HER, respectively. When used as both cathode and anode electrocatalyst in the overall water splitting reaction, CoMoP-based cells require just 1.56 V to reach 10 mA cm−2 in alkaline media. This outstanding performance is attributed to the proper composition, weak crystallinity and two-dimensional nanosheet structure of the electrocatalyst.

Abstract
The rational design of efficient electrocatalysts for industrial water splitting is essential to generate sustainable hydrogen fuel. However, a comprehensive understanding of the complex catalytic mechanisms under harsh reaction conditions remains a major challenge. We apply a self-templated strategy to introduce hierarchically nanostructured "all-surface" Fe-doped cobalt phosphide nanoboxes (Co@CoFe-P NBs) as alternative electrocatalysts for industrial-scale applications. Operando Raman spectroscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) experiments were carried out to track the dynamics of their structural reconstruction and the real catalytically active intermediates during water splitting. Our operando analyses reveal that partial Fe substitution in cobalt phosphides promotes a structural reconstruction into P-Co-O-Fe-P configurations with low-valence metal centers (M0/M+) during the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Results from density functional theory (DFT) demonstrate that these in situ reconstructed configurations significantly enhance the HER performance by lowering the energy barrier for water dissociation and by facilitating the adsorption/desorption of HER intermediates (H*). The competitive activity in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) arises from the transformation of the reconstructed P-Co-O-Fe-P configurations into oxygen-bridged, high-valence CoIV-O-FeIV moieties as true active intermediates. In sharp contrast, the formation of such CoIII/IV-O-FeIII/IV moieties in Co-FeOOH is hindered under the same conditions, which outlines the key advantages of phosphide-based electrocatalysts. Ex situ studies of the as-synthesized reference cobalt sulfides (Co-S), Fe doped cobalt selenides (Co@CoFe-Se), and Fe doped cobalt tellurides (Co@CoFe-Te) further corroborate the observed structural transformations. These insights are vital to systematically exploit the intrinsic catalytic mechanisms of non-oxide, low-cost, and robust overall water splitting electrocatalysts for future energy conversion and storage.

Abstract
Recently, persulfate-based advanced oxidation processes (persulfate-AOPs) are booming rapidly due to their promising potential in treating refractory contaminants. As a type of popular two-dimensional material, layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are widely used in energy conversion, medicine, environment remediation and other fields for the advantages of high specific surface area (SSA), good tunability, biocompatibility and facile fabrication. These excellent physicochemical characteristics may enable LDH-based materials to be promising catalysts in persulfate-AOPs. In this work, we make a summary of LDHs and their composites in persulfate-AOPs from different aspects. Firstly, we introduce different structure and important properties of LDH-based materials briefly. Secondly, various LDH-based materials are classified according to the type of foreign materials (metal or carbonaceous materials, mainly). Latterly, we discuss the mechanisms of persulfate activation (including radical pathway and nonradical pathway) by these catalysts in detail, which involve (i) bimetallic synergism for radical generation, (ii) the role of carbonaceous materials in radical generation, (iii) singlet oxygen (1O2) production and several special nonradical mechanisms. In addition, the catalytic performance of LDH-based catalysts for contaminants are also summarized. Finally, challenges and future prospects of LDH-based composites in environmental remediation are proposed. We expect this review could bring new insights for the development of LDH-based catalyst and exploration of reaction mechanism.

Abstract
Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have demonstrated an effective wastewater treatment method. But the application of AOPs using nanomaterials as catalysts is challenged with a series of problems, including limited mass transfer, surface fouling, poor stability, and difficult recycling. Recently, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with high tunability and ultrahigh porosity are emerging as excellent precursors for the delicate design of the structure/composition of catalysts and many MOF-derived catalysts with distinct physicochemical characteristics have shown optimized performance in various AOPs. Herein, to elucidate the structure-composition-performance relationship, a review on the performance optimization of MOF-derived catalysts to overcome the existing problems in AOPs by micro/macrostructure and multicomponent design is given. Impressively, MOF-derived strategy for the design of catalyst materials from the aspects of microstructure, macrostructure, and multicomponent (polymetallic, heteroatom doping, M/C hybrids, etc.) is firstly presented. Moreover, important advances of MOF-derived catalysts in the application of various AOPs (Fenton, persulfate-based AOPs, photocatalysis, electrochemical processes, hybrid AOPs) are summarized. The relationship between the unique micro/macrostructure and/or multicomponent features and performance optimization in mass transfer, catalytic efficiency, stability, and recyclability is clarified. Furthermore, the challenges and future work directions for the practical application of MOF-derived catalysts in AOPs for wastewater treatment are provided.

Abstract
Low melting point liquid metal alloys are progressively utilized in different research fields due to their unique physicochemical properties. Among them, EGaIn is liquid at room temperature with an excellent solubility for reactive metal atoms such as Al. Combined with their characteristic flexible surface, large area and atomically flat interfaces, a library of two-dimensional materials can be generated. Liquid metal synthesis routes provide a highly reproducible thickness of nanosheets with fast, simple, scalable, inexpensive, high yield and non-toxic methods, especially for Al oxides and hydroxides. At the same time, Al-based heterojunction structure also shows a good application prospect in the field of electromagnetic wave absorption, therefore, the use of liquid metal synthesis methods to find the synthesis methods of Al-based layered double hydroxide (LDH) and its derivatives remains to be explored. In this work, EGaIn was used as an aluminum reservoir to prepare LDH and metal organic framework (MOFs) nano-arrays. The prepared CoAl-LDH@ZIF 67 can be transformed into CoAl-LDO@Co-C in the subsequent annealing process performed under nitrogen environments. Interestingly, a series of samples with different morphologies can be obtained by changing the synthesis parameters. The excellent electromagnetic wave interactions are fully characterized. It has an effective absorption bandwidth of 8.48 GHz at 2.6 mm. The findings demonstrated in this work pave the way for the application of lightwave and ductile complex nanoarrays obtained from liquid metals.

Abstract
The template-assisted route is an effective avenue for the preparation of core-shell and hollow micromaterials. However, the conversion process is usually characterized by ex situ transmission electron microscopy, limiting the comprehensive understanding of the structure evolution. Here, we use dark-field microscopy (DFM) to visually image the chemical conversion process of Cu2O concave microcubes into metal hydroxide (MHs, M = Co, Ni, and Mn) microstructures at the single-particle level. The details of the conversion process such as early steps in the conversion reaction, intermediate states, and final states are successfully tracked in real time. The in situ DFM experiments clarify that the etching of Cu2O predates the generation of MHs, and the conversion reaction shows significant particle-to-particle variation. Meanwhile, the results also show that experimental parameters dominate the conversion of Cu2O concave microcubes, allowing for the precise manipulation of the reaction degree to obtain Cu2O@Co(OH)2 core-shell microstructures with different shell thicknesses and hollow Co(OH)2 microstructures. The present work offers a direct observation and manipulation of the conversion process of Cu2O microparticles, paving the way for rational design and preparation of various core-shell and hollow micromaterials.

Abstract
In this paper, we report the in situ growth of FF nanotubes examined via liquid-cell transmission electron microscopy (LCTEM). This direct, high spatial, and temporal resolution imaging approach allowed us to observe the growth of peptide-based nanofibrillar structures through directional elongation. Furthermore, the radial growth profile of FF nanotubes through the addition of monomers perpendicular to the tube axis has been observed in real-time with sufficient resolution to directly observe the increase in diameter. Our study demonstrates that the kinetics, dynamics, structure formation, and assembly mechanism of these supramolecular assemblies can be directly monitored using LCTEM. The performance of the peptides and the assemblies they form can be verified and evaluated using post-mortem techniques including time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS).

Hierarchical CoFe LDH/MOF nanorods array with strong coupling effect grown on carbon cloth enables efficient oxidation of water and urea. NANOTECHNOLOGY 2021; 32:385405. [PMID: 34130269 DOI: 10.1088/1361-6528/ac0b65] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2021] [Accepted: 06/15/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and urea oxidation reaction (UOR) play important roles in the fields of hydrogen energy production and pollution treatment. Herein, a facile one-step chemical etching strategy is provided for fabricating one-dimensional hierarchical nanorods array composed of CoFe layered double hydroxide (LDH)/metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) supported on carbon cloth as efficient and stable OER and UOR catalysts. By precisely controlling the etching rate, the ligands from Co-MOFs are partially removed, the corresponding metal centers then coordinate with hydroxyl ions to generate ultrathin amorphous CoFe LDH nanosheets. The resultant CoFe LDH/MOFs catalyst possesses large active surface area, enhanced conductivity and extended electron/mass transfer channels, which are beneficial for catalytic reactions. Additionally, the intimate contact between CoFe LDH and MOFs modulates the local electronic structure of the catalytic active site, leading to enhanced adsorption of oxygen-containing intermediates to facilitate fast electrocatalytic reaction. As a result, the optimized CoFe LDH/MOF-0.06 exhibits superior OER activity with a low overpotential of 276 at a current density of 10 mA cm-2with long-term durability. Additionally, it merely requires a voltage of 1.45 V to obtain 10 mA cm-2in 1 M KOH solution with 0.33 urea and is 56 mV lower than the one in pure KOH. The work presented here may hew out a brand-new route to construct multi-functional electrocatalysts for water splitting, CO2reduction, nitrogen reduction reactions and so on.
