Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising catalysts for the electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction (OER) due to their high surface area, tunable pore structures, and abundant active sites. Ligand engineering is an important strategy to optimize their performance. Here, we report the synthesis of NiFe-MOFs based on three different ligands: 1,4-terephthalic acid (BDC), 2,4-thiophene dicarboxylic acid (TDC), and 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDC), to investigate the effects of heteroatom-based aromatic rings on OER performance. It is revealed that by incorporating electronegative sulfur and oxygen atoms into the ligands, the electron density at the metal sites is reduced, leading to enhanced metal-oxygen covalency and improved charge transfer kinetics. The NiFe-FDC/NF catalyst demonstrates an overpotential of 189 mV at 10 mA⋅cm-2 and stable performance over 1300 hours at 1 A cm-2. In situ infrared spectroscopy reveal minimal structural reconstruction in NiFe-FDC/NF, contributing to its superior stability. The NiFe-FDC/NF were then subjected to 3600 hours of OER operation and it's metal elution was monitored. These findings offer a novel approach to ligand design for high-performance MOF-based OER catalysts, highlighting the potential of furan-based ligands for MOF ligand engineering.

Abstract
As the focus evolves from structure discovery/characterization (what it is) to property/performance exploration (what it is for), the pursuit of stable functional metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has been ongoing in terms of both fundamental research and industrial implementation. Under the guidance of crystal engineering principles, a plethora of research has developed pyrazolate MOFs (metal pyrazaolate frameworks, MPFs) featuring strong coordination M-N bonding. This attribution helps them retain their structures and functions under the alkaline conditions required for practical use. Based on poly-topic pyrazolate ligands, various classic MOFs, such as Co(bdp), Fe2(BDP)3, Ni8L6, PCN-601, and BUT-55, to name a few, have revealed fascinating architectures, intriguing properties, and record-breaking performances in applications during the past decade. This review will present the full scope of MPFs to date: (1) the superiority and significance of constructing MPFs through the crystal engineering approach, (2) synthetic strategies adopted in building and/or modifying MPFs, (3) structural features and stability of the MPF community, and (4) potential applications in energy and environmental related fields. The future opportunities of MPFs are also discussed for designing the next-generation of smart materials. Overall, this review attempts to provide insights and guidelines for the customization of pyrazolate-based MOFs for specific purposes, which would also promote the development of stable functional porous materials for addressing societal challenges.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), constructed by inorganic secondary building units with organic linkers via reticular chemistry, inherently suffer from poor solution processability due to their insoluble nature, resulting from their extensive crystalline networks and structural rigidity. The ubiquitous occurrence of precipitation and agglomeration of MOFs upon formation poses a significant obstacle to the scale-up production of MOF-based monolith, aerogels, membranes, and electronic devices, thus restricting their practical applications in various scenarios. To address the previously mentioned challenge, significant strides have been achieved over the past decade in the development of various strategies aimed at preparing solution-processable MOF systems. In this review, the latest advance in the synthetic strategies for the construction of solution-processable MOFs, including direct dispersion in ionic liquids, surface modification, controllable calcination, and bottom-up synthesis, is comprehensively summarized. The respective advantages and disadvantages of each method are discussed. Additionally, the intriguing applications of solution-processable MOF systems in the fields of liquid adsorbent, molecular capture, sensing, and separation are systematically discussed. Finally, the challenges and opportunities about the continued advancement of solution-processable MOFs and their potential applications are outlooked.

Abstract
2D Mo1.33C i-MXene is highly promising for electrochemical applications. Here, a synthetic strategy is reported, enabling the uniform distribution of carbon-coated CoNi (CoNi@C) nanoparticles on the vacancy-ordered Mo1.33C i-MXene nanosheets, thereby fully exposing the active sites of CoNi@C. First, five novel Ga-containing (Mo2/3R1/3)2GaC (R = Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, and Lu) i-MAX phases are synthesized as the precursor and found to be crystallized into Cmcm structure, followed by hydrothermal etching and delamination. Subsequently, CoNi- MOF is in situ grown on derived Mo1.33C i-MXene nanosheets. By modifying the loading mass and annealing condition, CoNi-MOF is transformed into the CoNi@C and the CoNi@C/Mo1.33C displayed outstanding hydrogen evolution reaction activity with low overpotential (73 mV at 10 mA cm-2) and small Tafel slope (84 mV dec-1). Moreover, the gravimetric capacitance is also increased from 68 F g-1 in CoNi@C to 575.1 F g-1 in CoNi@C/Mo1.33C-50 at 0.5 A g-1. After ≈5000 cycles, activation is complete, and the specific capacitance reaches its maximum value. Additionally, the specific capacitance remains stable at 95% after additional 10 000 cycles. This work improves the catalytic and supercapacitor performance of composite nanomaterials by optimizing the distribution of active sites on Mo1.33C i-MXene, and also extends the application of Mo1.33C i-MXene.

Abstract
CoFe bimetallic organic frameworks (CoFe-MOFs) with tunable morphology and electronic structure are synthesized in situ utilizing cobalt hydroxide (Co(OH)2) as a semi-sacrificial template and different anionic iron salts as modifying factors in a non-calcined synthesis method. This work defines the impact of three different anionic metallic iron salts (FeCl3, Fe(NO3)3, and Fe2(SO4)3) on the morphology of MOF materials and their resulting oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalytic activity. Employing ferric chloride (FeCl3) as the metallic iron source, heterostructured electrocatalysts (BN-CoFe-MOF) with nanoparticles decorated nanoneedle tips are obtained, exhibiting a low overpotential (230 mV at 10 mA cm-2) and a Tafel slope of 105.6 mV dec-1 in 1.0 M KOH. It also demonstrates long time stability for at least 50 h at a current density of 10 mA cm-2. The investigation uncovers that the splendid OER activity and stability of the BN-CoFe-MOF heterojunction can be attributed to its large specific surface area, desirable mesoporous structure, superaerophobic characteristic, and high exposure of active centers. This work not only provides an efficient and cost-effective MOF based OER electrocatalyst but also serves as a valuable reference for future research on morphology control and strategies to enhance the OER activity of MOF catalysts.

Abstract
In this study, we successfully prepared palladium/agarose/copper foam (Pd/AG/CF) composite electrodes by utilizing the three-dimensional network structure agarose (AG), a green material derived from biomass, and homogeneously immobilizing palladium (Pd) atoms on a copper foam (CF) substrate through a facile route. The electrode showed excellent performance in the electrocatalytic degradation of doxycycline (DOX), with a high DOX degradation rate of 92.19 % in 60 min. In-depth studies revealed that palladium can form metal-metal interactions with the CF substrates, which enhances the electron transfer on the catalyst surface. In addition, the introduction of agarose effectively prevented the agglomeration of palladium nanoparticles. In addition, the hydroxyl functional groups in the molecular structure of agarose facilitate interactions between water molecules and the electrode interface through the formation of hydrogen bonds, thereby further enhancing the efficiency of the electrocatalytic reaction. In addition to good stability and reusability. Microbial toxicity test results show that the degraded wastewater has minimal impact on the environment. Also, possible degradation pathways of DOX were explored in this study. Finally, a novel continuous flow reactor was designed, featuring a unique design that ensures full contact between wastewater and the composite electrodes, thereby achieving continuous and efficient treatment of antibiotic wastewater.

Abstract
Due to the slow kinetic nature of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), the development of electrocatalysts with high efficiency, stability, and economy for oxygen production using metal-organic framework (MOF) materials is still a challenging research topic. In this work, we chose the different concentrations of FeS adsorption to encapsulate metal cobalt-based ZIF-67 MOF for preparing a series of electrocatalysts (ZIF1FeSx, x = 0.2, 0.5, 0.75, and 1), which were mainly explored for the electrocatalytic OER. Among them, ZIF1FeS0.5 has excellent electrocatalytic activity for OER, which can be driven by low overpotentials of 276 and 349 mV at 10 and 50 mA cm-2 current densities, and more than 92% of the initial overpotential can be maintained after 100 h of continuous OER at 10 mA cm-2 current density. This is mainly due to the electronic interactions between the cobalt-based MOF and the FeS, which shift the electronic state of the active metal center to a higher valence state for increasing the number of active sites and enhancing the efficiency of electron transfer to facilitate the OER course. This work may contribute to the design of effective catalysts for the OER during the electrolysis of alkaline solutions.

Abstract
In this work, we designed a straightforward and highly reproducible synthetic methodology to prepare Ru0-Pt0 composites. We report a significant improvement in the electrocatalytic performance upon compositing Ru with a very trace amount of Pt. In particular, Ru nanoparticles were derived from a Ru-Prussian blue analogue (Ru PBA) and composited with (0.1, 0.5, and 1 mmol) metallic platinum following an optimized chemical reduction method. Interestingly, the composite with 0.5 mmol of Pt (Ru@C/Pt0.5) required low overpotentials of 32 and 140 mV to achieve current densities of 10 and 100 mA cm-2, respectively. Furthermore, Ru@C/Pt0.5 exhibited a smaller Tafel slope (26 mV dec-1), robust durability with 50 hours of long-term stability and a higher turnover frequency (TOF: 5.6 s-1@η10 mA cm-2) than commercial Pt/C (TOF: 4.1 s-1@η10 mA cm-2). First-principles calculations using density functional theory (DFT) revealed that the existence of Pt islands on the Ru nanoparticles weakened the strength of the adsorption of hydrogen at the Ru interstitials due to electrostatic repulsion caused by charge retention at Ru atoms near the corner of the islands, leading to rapid dissociation of hydrogen. This created a significant impact on the improvement of the electrocatalytic HER activity of the Ru@C/Pt0.5 electrocatalyst. It appears that restricting the concentration of Pt to trace amounts is a necessary condition for the observed catalytic efficiency, as the catalytic efficiency decreases with an increasing island size due to stronger binding of atomic hydrogen on peripheral Pt atoms and stabilization of adsorbed atomic hydrogen caused by softening of phonon modes with increasing island size. This study opens up a novel avenue for the exploration of highly efficient electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reactions.

Abstract
A fish-bone-shaped and thermochemically stable 2D metal-organic framework (MOF) with multimodal active center-decked pore-wall is devised. Redox-active [Co2(COO)4] node and thiazolo[5,4-d]thiazole functionalization benefit this mixed-ligand MOF exhibiting electrochemical water oxidation with 375 mV overpotential at 10 mA cm-2 current density and 78 mV per dec Tafel slope in alkaline medium. Pair of oppositely oriented carboxylic acids aids postmetalation with transition metal ions to engineer heterobimetallic materials. Notably, overpotential of Ni2+ grafted triple-redox composite reduces to 270 mV with twofold declined Tafel slope than the parent MOF, ranking among the best-reported values, and outperforming majority of related catalysts. Significantly, turnover frequency and charge transfer resistance display 35.5 and 1.4-fold upsurge, respectively, with much uplifted chronopotentiometric stability and increase active surface area owing to synergistic Co(II)-Ni(II) coupling. The simultaneous presence of ─COOH and nitrogen-rich moieties renders this hydrogen-bonded MOF as acid-base synergistic catalyst for recyclable deacetalization-Knoevenagel reaction with >99% product yield under solvent-free mild condition. Besides control experiments, unique role of ─COOH as hydrogen-bond donor site in substrate activation is validated from comparing the performances of molecular-shearing approach-derived structurally similar unfunctionalized MOF, and the heterobimetallic composite. To the best of tandem Knoevenagel condensation, larger-sized acetal exhibits poor yield of α,β-unsaturated dicyanides, and demonstrates pore-fitting-mediated size-selectivity.

Abstract
Designing a cheap, competent, and durable catalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is exceedingly necessary for generating oxygen through a water-splitting reaction. In this project, we have designed a ZIF-67-originated molybdenum-doped cobalt phosphide (CoP) using a simplistic dissolution-regrowth method using Na2MoO4 and a subsequent phosphidation process. This leads to the formation of an exceptional hollow nanocage morphology that is useful for enhanced catalytic activity. Metal-organic frameworks, especially ZIF-67, can be used both as a template and as a metal (cobalt) precursor. Molybdenum-doped CoP was fabricated through a two-step synthesis process, and the fabricated Mo-doped CoP showed excellent catalytic activity during the OER with a lower value of overpotential. Furthermore, the effect of the Mo amount on the catalytic activity has been explored. The best catalyst (CoMoP-2) showed an onset potential of around 1.49 V at 10 mA cm-2 to give rise to a Tafel slope of 62.1 mV dec-1. The improved catalytic activity can be attributed to the increased porosity and surface area of the resultant catalyst.

Unlocking the potential: strategic synthesis of a previously predicted pyrazolate-based stable MOF with unique clusters and high catalytic activity. Chem Sci 2024:d4sc03973d. [PMID: 39165731 PMCID: PMC11331307 DOI: 10.1039/d4sc03973d] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2024] [Accepted: 08/07/2024] [Indexed: 08/22/2024] Open
Abstract
The metal-organic framework (MOF) constructed from [Co4Pz8] clusters (Pz = pyrazolate) and 1,3,5-tris(pyrazolate-4-yl) benzene (BTP3-) ligands was structurally predicted many years ago, and expected to be a promising candidate for various applications owing to its unique clusters and highly open 3D framework structure. However, this MOF has not been experimentally prepared yet, despite extensive efforts were made. In this work, we present the successful construction of this MOF, hereinafter referred to as BUT-124(Co), by adopting a two-step synthesis strategy, involving the initial construction of a template framework (BUT-124(Cd)) followed by a post-synthetic metal metathesis process. The effects of various cobalt sources and solvents were systematically investigated, and an innovative stepwise metathesis strategy was employed to optimize the exchange rates and the porosity of the material. BUT-124(Co) demonstrates high catalytic activity in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), achieving a competitive performance with an overpotential of 393 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2, and also affords remarkable long-term stability during potentiostatic electrolysis in 1 M KOH solution, surpassing the durability of many benchmark catalysts. This work not only introduces a novel MOF material with promising properties but also exemplifies a strategic synthesis approach for pyrazolate-based MOFs, paving the way for advancements in diverse application fields.

Abstract
The conversion of CO2 to generate high-value-added chemicals has become one of the hot research topics in green synthesis. Thereinto, the cyclization reaction of propargylic amines with CO2 is highly attractive because the resultant oxazolidinones are widely found in pharmaceutical chemistry. Cu(I)-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as catalysts exhibit promising application prospects for CO2 conversion. However, their practical application was greatly limited due to Cu(I) being liable to disproportionation or oxidization. Herein, the solid copper(I) iodide thorium-based porous framework {[Cu5I6Th6(μ3-O)4(μ3-OH)4(H2O)10(L)10]·OH·4DMF·H2O}n (1) (HL = 2-methylpyridine-4-carboxylic acid) constructed by [Th6] clusters and [CuxIy] subunits was successfully prepared and structurally characterized. To our knowledge, this is the first copper(I) iodide-based actinide organic framework. Catalytic investigations indicate that 1 can effectively catalyze the cyclization of propargylic amines with CO2 under ambient conditions, which can be reused at least five times without a remarkable decline of catalytic activity. Importantly, 1 exhibits excellent chemical stability and the oxidation state of Cu(I) in it can remain stable under various conditions. This work can provide a valuable strategy for the synthesis of stable Cu(I)-MOF materials.

Abstract
Achieving active site engineering at the atomic level poses a significant challenge in the design and optimization of catalysts for energy-efficient catalytic processes, especially for a reaction with two reactants competitively absorbed on catalytic active sites. Herein, we show an example that tailoring the local environment of cobalt sites in a robust metal-organic framework through substituting the bridging atom from -Cl to -OH group leads to a highly active catalyst for oxygen activation in an oxidation reaction. Comprehensive characterizations reveal that this variation imparts drastic changes on the electronic structure of metal centers, the competitive reactant adsorption behavior, and the intermediate formation. As a result, exceptional low-temperature CO oxidation performance was achieved with T25(Temperature for 25 % conversion)=35 °C and T100 (Temperature for 100 % conversion)=150 °C, which stands out from existing MOF-based catalysts and even rivals many noble metal catalysts. This work provides a guidance for the rational design of catalysts for efficient oxygen activation for an oxidation reaction.

Abstract
Postsynthetic modifications (PSMs) of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) play a crucial role in enhancing material performance through open metal site (OMS) functionalization or ligand exchange. However, a significant challenge persists in preserving open metal sites during ligand exchange, as these sites are inherently bound by incoming ligands. In this study, for the first time, we introduced alkoxides by exchanging bridging chloride in Ni2Cl2BTDD (BTDD=bis (1H-1,2,3,-triazolo [4,5-b],-[4',5'-i]) dibenzo[1,4]dioxin) through PSM. Rietveld refinement of synchrotron X-ray diffraction data indicated that the alkoxide oxygen atom bridges Ni(II) centers while the OMSs of the MOF are preserved. Due to the synergy of the existing OMS and introduced functional group, the alkoxide-exchanged MOFs showed CO2 uptakes superior to the pristine MOF. Remarkably, the tert-butoxide-substituted Ni_T exhibited a nearly threefold and twofold increase in CO2 uptake compared to Ni2Cl2BTDD at 0.15 and 1 bar, respectively, as well as high water stability relative to the other exchanged frameworks. Furthermore, the Grand Canonical Monte Carlo simulations for Ni_T suggested that CO2 interacts with the OMS and the surrounding methyl groups of tert-butoxide groups, which is responsible for the enhanced CO2 capacity. This work provides a facile and unique synthetic strategy for realizing a desirable OMS-incorporating MOF platform through bridging ligand exchange.

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 designing of efficient electrocatalysts for hydrogen generation is essential for the practical application of water-splitting devices. With numerous electrochemical advantages, transition metal sulphides are regarded as the most promising candidates for catalysing the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in acidic media. In the present study, Ru-doped cobalt sulphide nanosheets, termed Co9S8/Ru@t (t = 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h), were obtained by varying the reaction time from 24 h to 72 h from a RuCo-PBA precursor. The role of the time period for the synthesis of Co9S8/Ru@48h is vital in increasing the number of electroactive sites and optimising the hydrogen adsorption-desorption phenomena leading to an increment in the HER activity. The electrochemical outcomes demonstrate that the optimized Co9S8/Ru@48h requires a low overpotential of just 94 mV to produce 10 mA cm-2 current density, and also exhibits a lower Tafel slope value of 84 mV dec-1 defining its faster reaction kinetics. The as-synthesized Co9S8/Ru@48h was stable for up to 20 h of constant electrolysis signifying its outstanding durability. The optimized synthetic approach and impressive electrochemical results make Co9S8/Ru@48h a suitable alternative to noble-metal-based electrocatalysts for the HER.

Abstract
Cost-effective and high-efficiency catalysts play a central role in various sustainable electrochemical energy conversion technologies that are being developed to generate clean energy while reducing carbon emissions, such as fuel cells, metal-air batteries, water electrolyzers, and carbon dioxide conversion. In this context, a recent climax in the exploitation of advanced earth-abundant catalysts has been witnessed for diverse electrochemical reactions involved in the above mentioned sustainable pathways. In particular, polymer catalysts have garnered considerable interest and achieved substantial progress very recently, mainly owing to their pyrolysis-free synthesis, highly tunable molecular composition and microarchitecture, readily adjustable electrical conductivity, and high stability. In this review, we present a timely and comprehensive overview of the latest advances in organic polymers as emerging materials for powerful electrocatalysts. First, we present the general principles for the design of polymer catalysts in terms of catalytic activity, electrical conductivity, mass transfer, and stability. Then, the state-of-the-art engineering strategies to tailor the polymer catalysts at both molecular (i.e., heteroatom and metal atom engineering) and macromolecular (i.e., chain, topology, and composition engineering) levels are introduced. Particular attention is paid to the insightful understanding of structure-performance correlations and electrocatalytic mechanisms. The fundamentals behind these critical electrochemical reactions, including the oxygen reduction reaction, hydrogen evolution reaction, CO2 reduction reaction, oxygen evolution reaction, and hydrogen oxidation reaction, as well as breakthroughs in polymer catalysts, are outlined as well. Finally, we further discuss the current challenges and suggest new opportunities for the rational design of advanced polymer catalysts. By presenting the progress, engineering strategies, insightful understandings, challenges, and perspectives, we hope this review can provide valuable guidelines for the future development of polymer catalysts.

However, due to the relatively weak strength of coordination bonds, the stability (e.g., water stability) of MOFs is usually poor, which severely inhibits their practical applications. To prepare water-stable MOFs, several important strategies such as increasing the bonding strength of building units and introducing hydrophobic units have been proposed, and many MOFs with excellent water stability have been prepared. Carbon dioxide not only causes a range of climate and health problems but also is a by-product of some important chemicals (e.g., natural gas). Due to their excellent adsorption performances, MOFs are considered as a promising adsorbent that can capture carbon dioxide efficiently and energetically, and many water-stable MOFs have been used to capture carbon dioxide in various scenarios, including flue gas decarbonization, direct air capture, and purified crude natural gas. In this review, we first introduce the design and synthesis of water-stable MOFs and then describe their applications in carbon dioxide capture, and finally provide some personal comments on the challenges facing these areas.

Abstract
The electrocatalytic splitting of water to produce hydrogen is regarded as an efficient and promising strategy but is limited by its large overpotential; thus, a highly efficient electrocatalyst is urgently needed. Mixed metal doping is an important strategy in defect engineering because the heteroatoms can change the intrinsic structure to form defects by affecting the atomic coordination mode and adjusting the electronic structure, which is often accompanied by morphological changes. Herein, two-dimensional layered bimetallic Co-pydc containing axially coordinated water molecules was selected by producing surface defects through Fe doping in Co centers as bifunctional electrocatalysts for OER and HER. The optimized Co0.59Fe0.41-pydc possesses outstanding OER performance with the lowest overpotential of 262 mV to reach j = 10 mA cm-2, and Co0.75Fe0.25-pydc possesses superior HER performance with the lowest overpotential of 96 mV at j = 10 mA cm-2. Furthermore, the overall water splitting device assembled with Co0.59Fe0.41-pydc@NF//Co0.59Fe0.41-pydc@NF affords a current density of 10 mA cm-2 at only 1.687 V. This work emphasizes the surface defects formed by tuning the electronic structure of metal centres accompanied with morphological changes of bimetallic dopants for efficient overall water splitting.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising electrocatalysts for clean energy conversion systems. However, developing MOF-based electrodes with high performance toward oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is still challenging. In this work, a series of MOF film electrodes derived from Ni-btz were prepared by employing the secondary growth strategy under solvothermal conditions. Fe and Co ions were also incorporated into the Ni-btz framework to produce a trimetallic coupling effect to obtain enhanced OER activity. The as-prepared FeCoNi-btz/NF exhibited not only good stability but also excellent OER performance under alkaline conditions. Furthermore, the possible intermediates including metal oxides and metal oxyhydroxides were confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

Abstract
Functional porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been explored for a number of potential applications in catalysis, chemical sensing, water capture, gas storage, and separation. MOFs are among the most promising candidates to address challenges facing our society related to energy and environment, but the successful implementation of functional porous MOF materials are contingent on their stability; therefore, the rational design of stable MOFs plays an important role towards the development of functional porous MOFs. In this Focus article, we summarize progress in the rational design and synthesis of stable MOFs with controllable pores and functionalities. The implementation of reticular chemistry allows for the rational top-down design of stable porous MOFs with targeted topological networks and pore structures from the pre-selected building blocks. We highlight the reticular synthesis and applications of stable MOFs: (1) MOFs based on high valent metal ions (e.g., Al3+, Cr3+, Fe3+, Ti4+ and Zr4+) and carboxylate ligands; (2) MOFs based on low valent metal ions (e.g., Ni2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+) and azolate linkers. We envision that the synthetic strategies, including modulated synthesis and post-synthetic modification, can potentially be extended to other more complex systems like metal-phosphonate framework materials.

Abstract
Establishing green and reliable energy resources is very important to counteract the carbon footprints and negative impact of non-renewable energy resources. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of porous material finding numerous applications due to their exceptional qualities, such as high surface area, low density, superior structural flexibility, and stability. Recently, increased attention has been paid to surface mounted MOFs (SURMOFs), which is nothing but thin film of MOF, as a new category in nanotechnology having unique properties compared to bulk MOFs. With the advancement of material growth and synthesis technologies, the fine tunability of film thickness, consistency, size, and geometry with a wide range of MOF complexes is possible. In this review, we recapitulate various synthesis approaches of SURMOFs including epitaxial synthesis approach, direct solvothermal method, Langmuir-Blodgett LBL deposition, Inkjet printing technique and others and then correlated the synthesis-structure-property relationship in terms of energy storage and conversion applications. Further the critical assessment and current problems of SURMOFs have been briefly discussed to explore the future opportunities in SURMOFs for energy storage and conversion applications.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) solids with their variable functionalities are relevant for energy conversion technologies. However, the development of electroactive and stable MOFs for electrocatalysis still faces challenges. Here, a molecularly engineered MOF system featuring a 2D coordination network based on mercaptan-metal links (e.g., nickel, as for Ni(DMBD)-MOF) is designed. The crystal structure is solved from microcrystals by a continuous-rotation electron diffraction (cRED) technique. Computational results indicate a metallic electronic structure of Ni(DMBD)-MOF due to the Ni-S coordination, highlighting the effective design of the thiol ligand for enhancing electroconductivity. Additionally, both experimental and theoretical studies indicate that (DMBD)-MOF offers advantages in the electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) over non-thiol (e.g., 1,4-benzene dicarboxylic acid) analog (BDC)-MOF, because it poses fewer energy barriers during the rate-limiting *O intermediate formation step. Iron-substituted NiFe(DMBD)-MOF achieves a current density of 100 mA cm-2 at a small overpotential of 280 mV, indicating a new MOF platform for efficient OER catalysis.

Abstract
Hydrogen, a clean and flexible energy carrier, can be efficiently produced by electrocatalytic water splitting. To accelerate the sluggish hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction kinetics in the splitting process, highly active electrocatalysts are essential for lowering the energy barriers, thereby improving the efficiency of overall water splitting. Combining the distinctive advantages of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with the physicochemical properties of 2D materials such as large surface area, tunable structure, accessible active sites, and enhanced conductivity, 2D MOFs have attracted intensive attention in the field of electrocatalysis. Different strategies, such as improving the conductivities of MOFs, reducing the thicknesses of MOF nanosheets, and integrating MOFs with conductive particles or substrates, are developed to promote the catalytic performances of pristine MOFs. This review summarizes the recent advances of pristine 2D MOF-based electrocatalysts for water electrolysis. In particular, their intrinsic electrocatalytic properties are detailly analyzed to reveal important roles of inherent MOF active centers, or other in situ generated active phases from MOFs responsible for the catalytic reactions. Finally, the challenges and development prospects of pristine 2D MOFs for the future applications in overall water splitting are discussed.

Abstract
Electrochemical energy storage devices with stable performance, high power output, and energy density are urgently needed to meet the global energy demand. Among the different electrochemical energy storage devices, batteries have become the most promising energy technologies and ranked as a highly investigated research subject. Recently, metal-air batteries especially Zn-air batteries (ZABs) have attracted enormous scientific interest in the electrochemical community due to their ease of operation, sustainability, environmental friendliness, and high efficiency. The oxygen electrocatalytic reactions [oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER)] are the two fundamental reactions for the development of ZABs. Noble metal-based electrocatalysts are widely considered as the benchmark for oxygen electrocatalysis, but their practical application in rechargeable ZAB is hindered due to several shortcomings. Thus, to replace noble metal-based catalysts, a wide range of transition-metal-based materials and heteroatom-doped metal-free carbon materials has been extensively investigated as oxygen electrocatalysts for ZABs. Recently, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with unique structural flexibility and uniformly dispersed active sites have become attractive precursors for the synthesis of a large variety of advanced functional materials. Herein, we summarize the recent progress of MOF-derived oxygen electrocatalysts (MOF-derived carbon nanomaterials, MOF-derived alloys/nanoparticles, and MOF-derived single-atom electrocatalysts) for ZABs. Specifically, we highlight MOF-derived single-atom electrocatalysts owing to the wide exploration of these emerging materials in electrocatalysis. The influence of the active sites, structural/compositional design, and porosity of MOF-derived advanced materials on the oxygen electrocatalytic performances is also discussed. Finally, the existing challenges and prospects of MOF-derived electrocatalysts in ZABs are briefly highlighted.

Abstract
The electrochemical conversion of small molecules, such as CO2 , O2 , and H2 O, has received significant attention as a potential engine for sustainable life. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a promising class of electrocatalytic materials for such processes. An attractive aspect of utilizing this class of materials as electrocatalysts is that well-known molecular active sites can be introduced to well-defined crystalline heterogeneous catalytic systems with high tunability. This review offers strategic insights into recent studies on MOF-based electrocatalysts by discussing the notable active sites that have been utilized in both homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts, while highlighting instances where such active sites have been introduced into MOFs. In addition, material design principles enabling the integration of electrochemically active components with the MOF platform are outlined. Viewpoints on the viability of MOFs as an alternative to currently used electrocatalysts are also discussed. Finally, the future direction of MOF-based electrocatalysis research is established.

Abstract
The Dawson-type sulfate polyoxometalate (POM) [S2W18O62]4- has successfully been entrapped in polypyrrole (PPy) films on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) surfaces through pyrrole electropolymerization. Films of varying POM loadings (i.e., thickness) were grown by chronocoulometry. Film-coated electrodes were then characterized using voltammetry, revealing POM surface coverages ranging from 1.9 to 11.7 × 10-9 mol·cm-2, and were stable over 100 redox cycles. Typical film morphology and composition were revealed to be porous using atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and the effects of this porosity on POM redox activity were probed using AC impedance. The hybrid organic-inorganic films exhibited a good electrocatalytic response toward the reduction of iodate with a sensitivity of 0.769 μA·cm-2·μM-1.

Abstract
Exploring an efficient way to enhance electron/ion transport behavior of nanomaterials plays an important role in the study of energy storage & conversion. However, the evolution rules of lattice and electronic structure during the pyrolysis process of low-dimensional nanomaterials, which further regulate its electron/ion transport properties, have not been effectively elucidated. Here we study the pyrolysis process of cation intercalated MnO2 as a case for realizing optimized electron/ion transport behavior. In our case, thermogravimetry-mass spectrometry (TG-MS) was adopted for tracking the remaining products in pyrolysis and decomposition products, further finding out the evolution law of the manganese-oxygen polyhedron structure during the pyrolysis. Moreover, the internal relations between the crystal structure and the electronic structure during the pyrolysis process of low-dimensional manganese oxide are revealed by fine structure characterization. As expected, partially treated 2D MnO2 nanosheets with controlled pyrolysis displays ultrahigh UOR performance with the overpotential of 1.320 V vs. RHE at the current density of 10 mA cm-2, which is the best value among non-nickel-based materials. We anticipate that studying the mechanism of the pyrolysis process has important guiding significance for the development of high electron/ion transport devices.

Abstract
Hydrocarbon separations using porous materials such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been proposed to reduce the energy demands associated with current distillation-based methods. Despite the potential of these materials to distinguish hydrocarbons through thermodynamic or kinetic mechanisms, experimental data quantifying hydrocarbon transport in MOFs is lacking. Such mass transfer measurements are vital to elucidate structure-property relationships and design future high-performing separation materials. In this work, we aim to isolate the influence of pore size on hydrocarbon diffusion by studying a pair of isoreticular MOFs, Co2Cl2BBTA and Co2Cl2BTDD. We use a volumetric method to extract mass transport coefficients for six hydrocarbon probe molecules of varying size and chemical functionality. From these nonequilibrium mass transport measurements, we determine the rate-limiting diffusion mechanism and identify trends in hydrocarbon surface permeabilities in the MOFs based on pore size, hydrocarbon chain length, and temperature.

Abstract
Metal organic frameworks (MOFs), a class of coordination polymers, gained popularity in the late 1990s with the efforts of Omar Yaghi, Richard Robson, Susumu Kitagawa, and others. The intrinsic porosity of MOFs made them a clear platform for gas storage and separation. Indeed, these applications have dominated the vast literature in MOF synthesis, characterization, and applications. However, even in those early years, there were hints to more advanced applications in light-MOF interactions and catalysis. This perspective focuses on the combination of both light-MOF interactions and catalysis: MOF artificial photosynthetic assemblies. Light absorption, charge transport, H2O oxidation, and CO2 reduction have all been previously observed in MOFs; however, work toward a fully MOF-based approach to artificial photosynthesis remains out of reach. Discussed here are the current limitations with MOF-based approaches: diffusion through the framework, selectivity toward high value products, lack of integrated studies, and stability. These topics provide a roadmap for the future development of fully integrated MOF-based assemblies for artificial photosynthesis.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are recognized as promising electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) because of their permanent porosity and rich architectural diversity; however, ionic MOFs enabling fast ions exchange during OER are rarely explored. Here, an ionic MOF (Ni-btz) constructed with an azolate ligand is selected, and continuous 3D bimetallic MOF (NiFe-btz) films deriving from high-degree intergrowth of microsized MOFs particles are fabricated. The as-prepared NiFe-btz/NF-OH electrode exhibits excellent OER performance with a low overpotential of 239 mV at 10 mA cm-2 under alkaline condition. The OER charge transfer process and bimetallic coupling effect in ionic NiFe-btz are probed by density functional theory calculations and confirmed via X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and in situ Raman measurements. The partial density of states of NiFe-btz indicates that the main contribution for electron density around the Fermi level is from Cl ions clarifying the profitable impact of ionic MOF framework. This work systematically demonstrates the relationship of electronic structure and OER activity in ionic, bimetallic MOFs and expands the scope of 3D MOF films for efficient OER.

Abstract
Oxygen is a critical gas in numerous industries and is produced globally on a gigatonne scale, primarily through energy-intensive cryogenic distillation of air. The realization of large-scale adsorption-based air separations could enable a significant reduction in associated worldwide energy consumption and would constitute an important component of broader efforts to combat climate change. Certain small-scale air separations are carried out using N2-selective adsorbents, although the low capacities, poor selectivities, and high regeneration energies associated with these materials limit the extent of their usage. In contrast, the realization of O2-selective adsorbents may facilitate more widespread adoption of adsorptive air separations, which could enable the decentralization of O2 production and utilization and advance new uses for O2. Here, we present a detailed evaluation of the potential of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to serve as O2-selective adsorbents for air separations. Drawing insights from biological and molecular systems that selectively bind O2, we survey the field of O2-selective MOFs, highlighting progress and identifying promising areas for future exploration. As a guide for further research, the importance of moving beyond the traditional evaluation of O2 adsorption enthalpy, ΔH, is emphasized, and the free energy of O2 adsorption, ΔG, is discussed as the key metric for understanding and predicting MOF performance under practical conditions. Based on a proof-of-concept assessment of O2 binding carried out for eight different MOFs using experimentally derived capacities and thermodynamic parameters, we identify two existing materials and one proposed framework with nearly optimal ΔG values for operation under user-defined conditions. While enhancements are still needed in other material properties, the insights from the assessments herein serve as a guide for future materials design and evaluation. Computational approaches based on density functional theory with periodic boundary conditions are also discussed as complementary to experimental efforts, and new predictions enable identification of additional promising MOF systems for investigation.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been a focus of research because of their unique porous structure, but they are usually not directly for electrocatalysis. Herein, we prepared a special class of Fe/Zn/Mo-based trimetallic hybrid zeolitic imidazolate frameworks by in situ solvothermal synthesis that have the potential to act directly as highly efficient oxygen evolution reaction electrocatalysts. This work provides a foundation for the preparation of multimetal MOFs and expands the investigation of electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Oxygen and hydrogen generated by water electrolysis may be utilized as a clean chemical fuel with high gravimetric energy density and energy conversion efficiency. The hydrogen fuel will be the alternative to traditional fossil fuels in the future, which are near to exhaustion and cause pollution. In the present study, flowery-shaped In2MnSe4 nanoelectrocatalyst is fabricated by anion exchange reaction directly grown on nickel foam (NF) in 1.0 M KOH medium for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The physiochemical and electrical characterization techniques are used to investigate the chemical structure, morphology, and electrical properties of the In2MnSe4 material. The electrochemical result indicates that synthesized material exhibits a smaller value of Tafel slope (86 mV/dec), lower overpotential (259 mV), and high stability for 37 h with small deterioration in the current density for a long time. Hence, the fabricated material responds with an extraordinary performance for the OER process and for many other applications in the future.

Abstract
A Co-triazole metal-organic framework (Co-trz) endowed with electrical conductivity was synthesized effortlessly via a microwave-based method. Providing a high density of catalytic centers with electrically conductive features, as suggested by DFT calculations, the framework exhibited a low overpotential for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with good kinetics. A mechanistic reaction pathway was proposed based on monitoring alterations in the oxidation state and local coordination environment of Co centers upon the occurrence of the OER. Due to its performance and its chemical and electrochemical robustness, the framework was highlighted as a promising MOF electrocatalyst for the OER.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a new class of porous crystalline materials constructed from organic ligands and metal ions/clusters. Owing to their unique advantages, they have attracted more and more attention in recent years and numerous studies have revealed their great potential in various applications. Many important applications of MOFs inevitably involve harsh alkaline operational environments. To achieve high performance and long cycling life in these applications, high stability of MOFs against bases is necessary. Therefore, the construction of base-stable MOFs has become a critical research direction in the MOF field. This review gives a historic summary of the development of base-stable MOFs in the last few years. The key factors that can determine the robustness of MOFs under basic conditions are analyzed. We also demonstrate the exciting achievements that have been made by utilizing base-stable MOFs in different applications. In the end, we discuss major challenges for the further development of base-stable MOFs. Some possible methods to address these problems are presented.

Metal-organic frameworks as a good platform for the fabrication of multi-metal nanomaterials: design strategies, electrocatalytic applications and prospective. Adv Colloid Interface Sci 2022; 304:102668. [PMID: 35489143 DOI: 10.1016/j.cis.2022.102668] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2021] [Revised: 04/01/2022] [Accepted: 04/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/01/2022]
Abstract
MOF-derived multi-metal nanomaterials are attracting numerous attentions in widespread applications such as catalysis, sensors, energy storage and conversion, and environmental remediation. Compared to the monometallic counterparts, the presence of foreign metal is expected to bring new physicochemical properties, thus exhibiting synergistic effect for enhanced performance. MOFs have been proved as a good platform for the fabrication of polymetallic nanomaterials with requisite features. Herein, various design strategies related to constructing multi-metallic nanomaterials from MOFs are summarized for the first time, involving metal nodal substitution, seed epitaxial growth, ion-exchange strategy, guest species encapsulation, solution impregnation and combination with extraneous substrate. Afterwards, the recent advances of multi-metallic nanomaterials for electrocatalytic applications, including oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), are systematically discussed. Finally, a personal outlook on the future trends and challenges are also presented with hope to enlighten deeper understanding and new thoughts for the development of multi-metal nanomaterials from MOFs.

Abstract
Ammonia is a promising energy vector that can store the high energy density of hydrogen. For this reason, numerous adsorbents have been investigated as ammonia storage materials, but ammonia adsorbents with a high gravimetric/volumetric ammonia capacity that can be simultaneously regenerated in an energy-efficient manner remain underdeveloped, which hampers their practical implementation. Herein, we report Ni_acryl_TMA (TMA = thiomallic acid), an acidic group-functionalized metal-organic framework prepared via successive postsynthetic modifications of mesoporous Ni2Cl2BTDD (BTDD = bis(1H-1,2,3,-triazolo [4,5-b],-[4',5'-i]) dibenzo[1,4]dioxin). By virtue of the densely located acid groups, Ni_acryl_TMA exhibited a top-tier gravimetric ammonia capacity of 23.5 mmol g-1 and the highest ammonia storage of 0.39 g cm-3 at 1 bar and 298 K. The structural integrity and ammonia storage capacity of Ni_acryl_TMA were maintained after ammonia adsorption-desorption tests over five cycles. Temperature-programmed desorption analysis revealed that the moderate strength of the interaction between the functional groups and ammonia significantly reduced the desorption temperature compared to that of the pristine framework with open metal sites. The structures of the postsynthetic modified analogues were elucidated based on Pawley/Rietveld refinement of the synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction patterns and van der Waals (vdW)-corrected density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Furthermore, the ammonia adsorption mechanism was investigated via in situ infrared and vdW-corrected DFT calculations, revealing an atypical guest-induced binding mode transformation of the integrated carboxylate. Dynamic breakthrough tests showed that Ni_acryl_TMA can selectively capture traces of ammonia under both dry and wet conditions (80% relative humidity). These results demonstrate that Ni_acryl_TMA is a superior ammonia storage/capture material.

Abstract
Since of their adjustable pore structure and variety of metal sites, MOFs materials have infinite possibilities, but their low intrinsic activity hinders them from being employed in electrolytic water. The sulfurization and oxidation of MOFs has proven to be a feasible technique for producing highly active catalytic materials. Here, the MOFs are completely converted to hydroxide by treatment with alkaline solutions only. Electron microscopy demonstrates that hydroxides generated from various MOFs retain the complete profile of the precursor and contain a two-dimensional lamellar or mesoporous structure. Fe-MIL-88(A)-OH, a two-dimensional structural transformation product generated from Fe-MIL-88(A), demonstrates significant OER performance increase. At the same 300 mV overpotential, Fe-MIL-88(A)-OH delivers 83 times the current density of Fe-MIL-88(A) and 16 times that of commercial IrO2 (22.56 mA cm-2 vs. 0.27 mA cm-2 vs. 1.37 mA cm-2). The alkali treatment strategy proved to be a generally applicable treatment for MOFs, allowing the conversion of nickel- and cobalt-based MOFs to hydroxide with a significant boost in OER performance.
