Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are inorganic-organic hybrids assembled from inorganic metal ions or clusters and suitable organic ligands. Zinc-based MOFs (Zn-MOFs) have emerged as one of the most promising sensory material of MOFs for practical applications, and attracted significant attention due to structural diversity and incomparable stability properties. However, there are few reviews on systemic summary of synthesis design, mechanism and application of Zn-MOFs. In this review, we summarize the synthesis design methods, structure types and luminescence mechanism of Zn-MOFs sensor recognition in the past ten years and their applications in metal cations, anions, organic compounds and other analytes. Finally, we present a short conclusion, and look forward to the future development direction of Zn-MOFs.展开更多

Each barium atom is eleven-coordinated into a distorted monocapped pentagonal antiprismatic arrangement. Compound 1 shows an interesting 3 D pillar-layered structure constructed from 2 D inorganic layers[Ba(SO)(HO)]and organic pillars of phenyl moieties of L2-linkages.

Here, we design two types of catalysts for electrocatalytic urea via a coordination strategy in a metal–organic frameworks: Cu^(Ⅲ)-HHTP and Cu^(Ⅱ)-HHTP. Cu^(Ⅲ)-HHTP exhibits an improved urea production rate of 7.78 mmol h^(−1)g^(−1) and an enhanced Faradaic efficiency of 23.09% at-0.6 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode, in sharp contrast to Cu^(Ⅱ)-HHTP.Isolated CuⅢspecies with S = 0 spin ground state are demonstrated as the active center in Cu^(Ⅲ)-HHTP, different from Cu^(Ⅱ) with S = 1/2 in Cu^(Ⅱ)-HHTP. We further demonstrate that isolated Cu^(Ⅲ)with an empty dx2-y20orbital in Cu^(Ⅲ)-HHTP experiences a single-electron migration path with a lower energy barrier in the C–N coupling process, while Cu^(Ⅱ)with a single-spin state( d_(x2-y2)^(1)) in Cu^(Ⅱ)-HHTP undergoes a two-electron migration pathway.展开更多

One of the widespread research hotspots is MOF-based membranes for separations, specifically continuous defect-free MOF membranes, which are usually grown on porous substrates. The substrate not only serves as the MOF layer support but also has a great influence on the membrane fabrication process and the final separation performance of the resultant membrane. In this review, we mainly introduce the progress focused on the substrates for MOF membranes fabrication. The substrate modifications and seeding methods aimed at synthesizing highquality MOF membranes are also summarized systematically.展开更多

In this paper, an electroconductive ferrocene-based MOF@MXene heterostructure is built to provide stable anodes for Li+storage. Charge density difference and planar average potential charge density show substantial redistribution of charges at the interfaces, transferring from MXene to MOF layers. Moreover, density functional theory(DFT) calculations reveal that the interaction between MXene and MOF significantly increases the ΔEa. As a result, the heterostructure anode exhibits high capacities and outstanding cycling stability with a capacity retention of 80% after 5000 cycles at 5 A g^(-1), outperforming mono-component MXene and MOF. Furthermore, the heterostructure anode is built into a full cell with a commercial NCM 532 cathode, delivering a high energy density of 611 Wh kg^(-1)and power density of 7600 W kg^(-1). The developed conductive MOF@MXene heterogeneity for improved LIB offers valuable insights into the design of advanced electrode materials for energy storage.展开更多

文摘Aqueous zinc ion batteries(AZIBs)are one of the promising energy storage devices.However,uncontrolled dendrite and side reactions have seriously hindered its further application.In this study,the metal-organic framework(MOF)functionalized glass fiber separator(GF-PFC-31)was used to regulate interfacial behavior of zinc metal anode,enabling the development of high-performance AZIBs.In PFC-31,there areπ-πinteractions between two adjacent benzene rings with a spacing of 3.199 A.This spacing can block the passage of[Zn(H_(2)O)_6]^(2+)(8.6 A in diameter)through the GF-PFC-31 separator to a certain extent,which promotes the deposition process of Zn ions.In addition,the sulfonic acid group(-S03H)contained in GF-PFC-31 can form a hydrogen bonding network with H_(2)O,which can provide a desolvation effect and reduce the side reaction.Consequently,GF-PFC-31 separator achieves uniform deposition of Zn ions.The Zn‖GF-PFC-31‖Zn symmetric cell exhibits stable cycle life(3000 h at 1.2 mA cm^(-2),2000 h at 0.3 mA cm^(-2),and 2000 h at 5.0 mA cm^(-2)),and Zn‖GF-PFC-31‖MnO_(2) full cell with GF-PFC-31 separator can cycle for 1000 cycles at 1.2 A g^(-1)with capacity retention rate of 82.5%.This work provides a promising method to achieve high-performance AZIBs.

文摘This review offers an overview of the latest developments in metal-covalent organic framework(MCOF)and covalent metal-organic framework(CMOF)materials,whose construction entails a combination of reversible coordination and covalent bonding adapted from metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)and covalent organic frameworks(COFs),respectively.With an emphasis on the MCOF and CMOF structures,this review surveys their building blocks and topologies.Specifically,the frameworks are classified based on the dimensions of their components(building blocks),namely,discrete building blocks and one-dimensional infinite building blocks.For the first category,the materials are further divided into collections of two-and three-dimensional networks based on their topologies.For the second category,the recently emerging MCOFs with woven structures are covered.Finally,the state-of-the-art in MCOF and CMOF chemistry has been laid out for promising avenues in future developments.

文摘The next-generation energy storage systems such as fuel cells,metal-air batteries,and alkali metal(Li,Na)-chalcogen(S,Se)batteries have received increasing attention owing to their high energy density and low cost.However,one of the main obstacles of these systems is the poor reaction kinetics in the involved chemical reactions.Therefore,it is essential to incorporate suitable and efficient catalysts into the cell.These years,single-atom catalysts(SACs)are emerging as a frontier in catalysis due to their maximum atom efficiency and unique reaction selectivity.For SACs fabrication,metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)have been confirmed as promising templates or precursors due to their high metal loadings,structural adjustability,porosity,and tailorable catalytic site.In this review,we summarize effective strategies for fabricating SACs by MOFs with corresponding advanced characterization techniques and illustrate the key role of MOFs-based SACs in these batteries by explaining their reaction mechanisms and challenges.Finally,current applications,prospects,and opportunities for MOFs-based SACs in energy storage systems are discussed.

文摘The development of reliable and low-cost energy storage systems is of considerable value in using renewable and clean energy sources,and exploring advanced electrodes with high reversible capacity,excellent rate performance,and long cycling life for Li/Na/Zn-ion batteries and supercapacitors is the key problem.Particularly because of their diverse structure,high specific surface area,and adjustable redox activity,electrically conductive metal-organic frameworks(c-MOFs)are considered promising candidates for these electrochemical applications,and a detailed overview of the recent progress of c-MOFs for electrochemical energy storage and their intrinsic energy storage mechanism helps realize a comprehensive and systematic understanding of this progress and further achieve highly efficient energy storage and conversion.Herein,the chemical structure of c-MOFs and their conductive mechanism are first introduced.Subsequently,a comprehensive summarization of the current applications of c-MOFs in energy storage systems,namely supercapacitors,LIBs,SIBs,and ZIBs,is presented.Finally,the prospects and challenges of c-MOFs toward much higher-performance energy storage devices are presented,which should illuminate the future scientific research and practical applications of c-MOFs in energy storage fields.

文摘Heat treatment of metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)has provided a wide variety of functional carbons coordinated with metal compounds.In this study,two kinds of zinc-based MOF(ZMOF),C_(16)H_(10)O_(4)Zn(ZMOF1)and C_(8)H_(4)O_(4)Zn(ZMOF2),were prepared.ZMOF1 and ZMOF2 were carbonized at 1000℃,forming CZMOF1 and CZMOF2,respectively.The specific surface area(S_(BET))of CZMOF2 was~2700 m^(2)g^(−1),much higher than that of CZMOF1(~1300 m^(2)g^(−1)).A supercapacitor electrode based on CZMOF2 achieved specific capacitances of 360,278,and 221 F g^(−1)at 50,250,and 1000 mA g^(−1)in an aqueous electrolyte(H2SO_(4)),respectively,the highest values reported to date for ZMOF-derived electrodes under identical conditions.The practical applicability of the CZMOF-based supercapacitor was verified in non-aqueous electrolytes.The initial capacitance retention was 78%after 100000 charge/discharge cycles at 10 A g^(−1).Crucially,the high capacitance of CZMOF2 arises from pore generation during carbonization.Below 1000℃,pore generation is dominated by the Zn/C ratio of ZMOFs,as carbon atoms reduce the zinc oxides formed during carbonization.Above 1000℃,a high O/C ratio becomes essential for pore generation because the oxygen functional groups are pyrolyzed.These findings will provide insightful information for other metal-based MOFderived multifunctional carbons.

文摘Metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)have been widely adopted in various fields(catalysis,sensor,energy storage,etc.)during the last decade owing to the trait of abundant surface chemistry,porous structure,easy-to-adjust pore size,and diverse functional groups.However,the limited active sites and the poor conductivity hinder the relative practical application.2D MOFs can shorten the ion transport path with the merit of layered structure.The large surface area can increase the number of active sites as well as effectively utilize the sufficient active sites,exhibiting enormous potential in the field of energy storage systems(EESs).In this review,the characteristics of the 2D MOFs have been introduced,and the systematic synthesis methods(top-down and bottom-up)of 2D MOFs are presented,providing fundamental understanding for the construction of 2D MOFs.Moreover,the applications of 2D MOFs in energy storage fields such as supercapacitors and batteries are demonstrated in detail.Finally,the future development prospects have been proposed,offering guidelines for the rational utilization of 2D MOFs and promoting the understanding of 2D MOFs in EESs.

文摘The combination of nano sizes,large pore sizes and green synthesis is recognized as one of the most crucial and challenging problems in constructing metal-organic frameworks(MOFs).Herein,a water-based strategy is proposed for the synthesis of nanoscale hierarchical MOFs(NH-MOFs)with high crystallinity and excellent stability.This approach allows the morphology and porosity of MOFs to be fine tuned,thereby enabling the nanoscale crystal generation and a well-defined hierarchical system.The aqueous solution facilitates rapid nucleation kinetics,and the introduced modulator acts as a deprotonation agent to accelerate the deprotonation of the organic ligand as well as a structure-directing agent(SDA)to guide the formation of hierarchical networks.The assynthesized NH-MOFs(NH-ZIF-67)were assessed as efficient adsorbents and heterogeneous catalysts to facilitate the diffusion of guest molecules,outperforming the parent microZIF-67.This study focuses on understanding the NH-MOF growth rules,which could allow tailor-designing NH-MOFs for various functions.

文摘Photoelectrochemical reduction of CO_(2)to produce CO with metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)is recognized as a desirable technology to mitigate CO_(2)emission and generate sustainable energy.To achieve highly efficient electrocatalyst,it is essential to design a new material interface and uncover new reaction mechanisms or kinetics.Herein,we developed two metal-organic Cu-MOF and Bi-MOF layers using benzene tricarboxylic acid(H_(3)BTC)ligands on CuBi_(2)O_(4) photocathodes.Both MOF layers drastically improved the photoelectrochemical stability by suppressing the photo-corrosion through conformal surface passivation.The Cu-MOF modified CuBi_(2)O_(4) showed more significant charge separation and transfer efficiencies than the Bi-MOF modified control.Based on the transient photocurrent curves under the applied potential of 0.6 V vs.RHE,the rate-law analysis showed the CO_(2)photoreduction took place through a first-order reaction.Further,the photoelectrochemical impedance spectra(PEIS)revealed this reaction order,representing an“operando”analysis.Moreover,the reaction rate constant on Cu-MOF modified sample was higher than that on Bi-MOF modified one and bare CuBi_(2)O_(4).Combined with the density functional theory calculation,the surface absorption of CO_(2)and CO molecules and the higher energy barrier for*COOH intermediates could significantly determine the first order reaction.
文摘As more and more pollutants threaten human health, it is necessary and essential to develop sensitive, accurate and rapid methods and sensory materials to detect harmful substance. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are inorganic-organic hybrids assembled from inorganic metal ions or clusters and suitable organic ligands. Zinc-based MOFs (Zn-MOFs) have emerged as one of the most promising sensory material of MOFs for practical applications, and attracted significant attention due to structural diversity and incomparable stability properties. However, there are few reviews on systemic summary of synthesis design, mechanism and application of Zn-MOFs. In this review, we summarize the synthesis design methods, structure types and luminescence mechanism of Zn-MOFs sensor recognition in the past ten years and their applications in metal cations, anions, organic compounds and other analytes. Finally, we present a short conclusion, and look forward to the future development direction of Zn-MOFs.

文摘One novel metal-organic framework(MOF), [Ba(L)(HO)](1, HL =aniline-2,5-disulfonic acid), has been synthesized by hydrothermal method. Each barium atom is eleven-coordinated into a distorted monocapped pentagonal antiprismatic arrangement. Compound 1 shows an interesting 3 D pillar-layered structure constructed from 2 D inorganic layers[Ba(SO)(HO)]and organic pillars of phenyl moieties of L2-linkages. The inorganic layers are supported by the organic pillars, generating a novel 3 D open framework structure with {3, 4~6, 5~5, 6~5,7~4}2{3}{5} topology. The result of fluorescence measurement can reveal that the decayed emission band centered at 492 nm may be caused by the interactions of the ligands and the metal ions.Compound 1 exhibits selective toward the adsorption of COover Nat 273 K.

文摘The catalytic activities are generally believed to be relevant to the electronic states of their active center, but understanding this relationship is usually difficult. Here, we design two types of catalysts for electrocatalytic urea via a coordination strategy in a metal–organic frameworks: Cu^(Ⅲ)-HHTP and Cu^(Ⅱ)-HHTP. Cu^(Ⅲ)-HHTP exhibits an improved urea production rate of 7.78 mmol h^(−1)g^(−1) and an enhanced Faradaic efficiency of 23.09% at-0.6 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode, in sharp contrast to Cu^(Ⅱ)-HHTP.Isolated CuⅢspecies with S = 0 spin ground state are demonstrated as the active center in Cu^(Ⅲ)-HHTP, different from Cu^(Ⅱ) with S = 1/2 in Cu^(Ⅱ)-HHTP. We further demonstrate that isolated Cu^(Ⅲ)with an empty dx2-y20orbital in Cu^(Ⅲ)-HHTP experiences a single-electron migration path with a lower energy barrier in the C–N coupling process, while Cu^(Ⅱ)with a single-spin state( d_(x2-y2)^(1)) in Cu^(Ⅱ)-HHTP undergoes a two-electron migration pathway.

文摘Metal-organic frameworks recently have been burgeoning and used as precursors to obtain various metal-nitrogen-carbon catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction(ORR).Although rarely studied,Mn-N-C is a promising catalyst for ORR due to its weak Fenton reaction activity and strong graphitization catalysis.Here,we developed a facile strategy for anchoring the atomically dispersed nitrogen-coordinated single Mn sites on carbon nanosheets(MnNCS)from an Mn-hexamine coordination framework.The atomically dispersed Mn-N_(4) sites were dispersed on ultrathin carbon nanosheets with a hierarchically porous structure.The optimized MnNCS displayed an excellent ORR performance in half-cells(0.89 V vs.reversible hydrogen electrode(RHE)in base and 0.76 V vs.RHE in acid in half-wave potential)and Zn-air batteries(233 mW cm^(−2)in peak power density),along with significantly enhanced stability.Density functional theory calculations further corroborated that the Mn-N_(4)-C(12)site has favorable adsorption of*OH as the rate-determining step.These findings demonstrate that the metal-hexamine coordination framework can be used as a model system for the rational design of highly active atomic metal catalysts for energy applications.

文摘During the last decade, metal-organic frameworks(MOFs) have been applied in various fields due to their unique chemical and functional advantages. One of the widespread research hotspots is MOF-based membranes for separations, specifically continuous defect-free MOF membranes, which are usually grown on porous substrates. The substrate not only serves as the MOF layer support but also has a great influence on the membrane fabrication process and the final separation performance of the resultant membrane. In this review, we mainly introduce the progress focused on the substrates for MOF membranes fabrication. The substrate modifications and seeding methods aimed at synthesizing highquality MOF membranes are also summarized systematically.

文摘Although a few pristine metal-organic frameworks(MOFs) of graphene analogue topology exhibit high intrinsic electrical conductivity, their use in lithium-ion batteries(LIBs) is still hampered by unfavorable Li+adsorption energy(ΔEa). In this paper, an electroconductive ferrocene-based MOF@MXene heterostructure is built to provide stable anodes for Li+storage. Charge density difference and planar average potential charge density show substantial redistribution of charges at the interfaces, transferring from MXene to MOF layers. Moreover, density functional theory(DFT) calculations reveal that the interaction between MXene and MOF significantly increases the ΔEa. As a result, the heterostructure anode exhibits high capacities and outstanding cycling stability with a capacity retention of 80% after 5000 cycles at 5 A g^(-1), outperforming mono-component MXene and MOF. Furthermore, the heterostructure anode is built into a full cell with a commercial NCM 532 cathode, delivering a high energy density of 611 Wh kg^(-1)and power density of 7600 W kg^(-1). The developed conductive MOF@MXene heterogeneity for improved LIB offers valuable insights into the design of advanced electrode materials for energy storage.

文摘Metal-Organic Frameworks(MOFs)have been developed as solid sorbents for CO_(2) capture applications and their properties can be controlled by tuning the chemical blocks of their crystalline units.A number of MOFs(e.g.,HKUST-1)have been developed but the question remains how to deploy them for gas-solid contact.Unfortunately,the direct use of MOFs as nanocrystals would lead to serious problems and risks.Here,for the first time,we report a novel MOF-based hybrid sorbent that is produced via an innovative in-situ microencapsulated synthesis.Using a custom-made double capillary microfluidic assembly,double emulsions of the MOF precursor solutions and UV-curable silicone shell fluid are produced.Subsequently,HKUST-1 MOF is successfully synthesized within the droplets enclosed in the gas permeable microcapsules.The developed MOF-bearing microcapsules uniquely allow the deployment of functional nanocrystals without the challenge of handling ultrafine particles,and further,can selectively reject undesired compounds to protect encapsulated MOFs.
