Sulfurized Two-Dimensional Conductive Metal-Organic Framework as a High-Performance Cathode Material for Rechargeable Mg Batteries. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202409286. [PMID: 39018503 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202409286] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2024] [Revised: 07/16/2024] [Accepted: 07/16/2024] [Indexed: 07/19/2024]
Abstract
Rechargeable Mg batteries are a promising energy storage technology to overcome the limitations inherent to Li ion batteries. A critical challenge in advancing Mg batteries is the lack of suitable cathode materials. In this work, we report a cathode design that incorporates S functionality into two-dimensional metal-organic-frameworks (2D-MOFs). This new cathode material enables good Mg2+ storage capacity and outstanding cyclability. It was found that upon the initial Mg2+ insertion and disinsertion, there is an apparent structural transformation that crumbles the layered 2D framework, leading to amorphization. The resulting material serves as the active material to host Mg2+ through reduction and/or oxidation of S and, to a limited extent, O. The reversible nature of S and O redox chemistry was confirmed by spectroscopic characterizations and validated by density functional calculations. Importantly, during the Mg2+ insertion and disinsertion process, the 2D nature of the framework was maintained, which plays a key role in enabling the high reversibility of the MOF cathode.

Abstract
Conductive metal-organic frameworks are of current interest in chemical science because of their applications in chemiresistive sensing, electrochemical energy storage, electrocatalysis, etc. Different strategies have been employed to design conductive frameworks. In this review, we discuss the influence of different types of guest species incorporated within the pores or channels of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and porous coordination polymers (PCPs) to generate charge transfer pathways and modulate their electrical conductivity. We have classified dopants or guest species into three different categories: (i) metal-based dopants, (ii) molecule and molecular entities and (iii) organic conducting polymers. Different types of metal ions, metal nano-clusters and metal oxides have been used to enhance electrical conductivity in MOFs. Metal ions and metal nano-clusters depend on the hopping process for efficient charge transfer whereas metal-oxides show charge transport through the metal-oxygen pathway. Several types of molecules or molecular entities ranging from neutral TCNQ, I2, and fullerene to ionic methyl viologen, organometallic like nickelcarborane, etc. have been used. In these cases, the charge transfer process varies with the guest species. When organic conducting polymers are the guest, the charge transport occurs through the polymer chains, mostly based on extended π-conjugation. Here we provide a comprehensive and critical review of these strategies to add electrical conductivity to the, in most cases, otherwise insulating MOFs and PCPs. We point out the guest encapsulation process, the geometry and structure of the resulting host-guest complex, the host-guest interactions and the charge transport mechanism for each case. We also present the methods for thin film fabrication of conducting MOFs (both, liquid-phase and gas-phase based methods) and their most relevant applications like electrocatalysis, sensing, charge storage, photoconductivity, photocatalysis,… We end this review with the main obstacles and challenges to be faced and the appealing perspectives of these 21st century materials.

Abstract
There is growing interest in 2D conjugated metal-organic frameworks (2D c-MOFs) for batteries due to their reversible redox chemistry. Nevertheless, currently reported 2D c-MOFs based on n-type ligands are mostly focused on the storage of cations for batteries. Herein, we successfully synthesize nitrogen-rich and electron-deficient p-type ligand-based Ni3(HATQ)2 assembled from 2,3,7,8,12,13-hexaaminotricycloquinazoline (HATQ), and the ion co-storage feature of cations and anions in sodium ion batteries (SIBs) is demonstrated for 2D c-MOFs for the first time. The redox chemistry from the p-type ligand and π-d hybridization center endows the Ni3(HATQ)2 cathode with high capacity and good rate performance, especially excellent capacity retention of 95% after 1000 cycles. These findings provide a promising avenue for the exploration of other p-type multidentate chelating ligands toward new 2D c-MOFs and expand the application of 2D c-MOFs in energy storage systems.

Abstract
Two-dimensional conjugated metal-organic frameworks (2D cMOFs) are emerging as promising materials for electrochemical energy storage (EES). Despite considerable interest, an understanding of their electrochemical stability and the factors contributing to their degradation during cycling is largely lacking. Here we investigate three Cu-based MOFs and report that the dissolution of 2D cMOFs into electrolytes is a prevalent and significant degradation pathway. Several factors, such as the inherent solubility of ligands in electrolyte solvents and the duration of charge-discharge cycling exert a strong influence on the dissolution process. When these factors combine within a MOF, severely limited cycling stability is observed, with dissolution accounting for up to 80% of capacity degradation. Conversely, excellent cycling stability is observed when testing a Cu-MOF with a sparingly soluble ligand within an optimized potential window. Overall, these findings represent essential insights into the electrochemical stability of 2D cMOFs, offering crucial guidelines for their targeted development in EES applications.

Abstract
The evolution of two-dimensional conjugated metal-organic frameworks (2D c-MOFs) provides a significant prospect for researching the next generation of green and advanced energy storage systems (ESSs). Especially, conjugation and topology engineering serve as an irreplaceable character in adjusting the electrochemical properties of ESSs. Herein, we proposed a novel strategy using conjugation and topology engineering to demonstrate the application of 2D c-MOFs in robust potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) for the first time. By comparing 2D c-MOFs with the rhombus/kagome structure as well as three/four-arm core, the rhombus structure (sql-Cu-TBA-MOF) cathode for PIBs can display the impressive electrochemical performance, including a high specific discharge capacity of 178.4 mAh g-1 (at 0.2 A g-1) and a well long-term cycle stability of more than 9,000 (at 10.0 A g-1). Moreover, full PIBs (FPIBs) are constructed by pairing sql-Cu-TBA-MOF cathode with dipotassium terephthalate (KTP) anode, which delivers a high reversible discharge specific capacity of 146.6 mAh g-1 (at 0.1 A g-1) and great practical application prospect. These findings provide reasonable implications for the design of 2D c-MOFs from the perspective of conjugation and topology engineering for advanced energy storage systems.

Abstract
2D conjugated metal-organic frameworks (2D c-MOFs) have garnered significant attention as promising electroactive materials for energy storage. However, their further applications are hindered by low capacity, limited cycling life, and underutilization of the active sites. Herein, Cu-TBA (TBA = octahydroxyltetrabenzoanthracene) with large conjugation units (narrow energy gap) and a unique rhombus topology is introduced as the cathode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Notably, Cu-TBA with a rhombus topology exhibits a high specific surface area (613 m2 g-1) and metallic band structure. Additionally, Cu-TBA outperforms its hexagonal counterpart, Cu-HHTP (HHTP = 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexahydroxyltriphenylene), demonstrating superior reversible capacity (153.6 mAh g-1 at 50 mA g-1) and outstanding cyclability with minimal capacity decay even after 3000 cycles at 1 A g-1. This work elucidates a new strategy to enhance the electrochemical performance of 2D c-MOFs cathode materials by narrowing the energy gap of organic linkers, effectively expanding the utilization of 2D c-MOFs for SIBs.

Abstract
Organic compounds are regarded as important candidates for potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) due to their light elements, controllable polymerization, and tunable functional groups. However, intrinsic drawbacks largely restrict their application, including possible solubility in electrolytes, poor conductivity, and low diffusion coefficients. To address these issues, an ultrathin layered pyrazine/carbonyl-rich material (CT) is synthesized via an acid-catalyzed solvothermal reaction and homogeneously grown on carbon nanotubes (CNTs), marked as CT@CNT. Such materials have shown good features of exposing functional groups to guest ions and good electron transport paths, exhibiting high reversible capacity and remarkable rate capability over a wide temperature range. Two typical electrolytes are compared, demonstrating that the electrolyte of LX-146 is more suitable to maximize the electrochemical performances of electrodes at different temperatures. A stepwise reaction mechanism of K-chelating with C═O and C═N functional groups is proposed, verified by in/ex situ spectroscopic techniques and theoretical calculations, illustrating that pyrazines and carbonyls play the main roles in reacting with K+ cations, and CNTs promote conductivity and restrain electrode dissolution. This study provides new insights to understand the K-storage behaviors of organic compounds and their "all-temperature" application.

Abstract
High-temperature rechargeable batteries are essential for energy storage in elevated-temperature situations. Due to the resource abundance of potassium, high-temperature K-ion batteries are drawing increasing research interest. However, raising the working temperature would aggravate the chemical and mechanical instability of the KIB anode, resulting in very fast capacity fading, especially when high capacity is pursued. Here, we demonstrated that a porous conductive metal-organic framework (MOF), which is constructed by N-rich aromatic molecules and CuO4 units via π-d conjugation, could provide multiple accessible redox-active sites and promised robust structure stability for efficient potassium storage at high temperatures. Even working at 60 °C, this MOF anode could deliver high initial capacity (455 mAh g-1), impressive rate, and extraordinary cyclability (96.7% capacity retention for 1600 cycles), which is much better than those of reported high-temperature KIB anodes. The mechanistic study revealed that C═N groups and CuO4 units contributed abundant redox-active sites; the synergistic effect of π-d conjugated character and reticular porous architecture facilitated the K+/e- transport and ensured an insoluble electrode with small volume deformation, thus achieving stable high-capacity potassium storage.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), formed by the combination of both inorganic and organic components, have attracted special attention for their tunable porous structures, chemical and functional diversities, and enormous applications in gas storage, catalysis, sensing, etc. Recently, electronic applications of MOFs like electrocatalysis, supercapacitors, batteries, electrochemical sensing, etc., have become a major research topic in MOF chemistry. However, the low electrical conductivity of most MOFs represents a major handicap in the development of these emerging applications. To overcome these limitations, different strategies have been developed to enhance electrical conductivity of MOFs for their implementation in electronic devices. In this review, we outline all these strategies employed to increase the electronic conduction in both intrinsically (framework-modulated) and extrinsically (guests-modulated) conducting MOFs.

Abstract
Reticular chemistry effectively yields porous structures with distinct topological lattices for a broad range of applications. Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS)-based octatopic building blocks with a rare Oh symmetric configuration and attracting inorganic features have great potential for creating three-dimensional (3D) covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with new topologies. However, the intrinsic flexibility and intensive motion of cubane-type POSS molecules make the construction of 3D regular frameworks challenging. Herein, by fastening three or four POSS cores with per aromatic rigid linker from rational steric directions, we successfully developed serial crystalline 3D COFs with unpresented "the" and scu topologies. Both the experimental and theoretical results proved the formation of target 3D POSS-based COFs. The resultant hybrid networks with designable chemical skeletons and high surface areas maintain the superiorities of both the inorganic and organic components, such as their high compatibility with inorganic salts, abundant periodic electroactive sites, excellent thermal stability, and open multilevel nanochannels. Consequently, the polycubane COFs could serve as outstanding solid electrolytes with a high ionic conductivity of 1.23 × 10-4 S cm-1 and a lithium-ion transference number of 0.86 at room temperature. This work offers a pathway to generate ordered lattices with multiconnected flexible cube motifs and enrich the topologies of 3D COFs for potential applications.

[PMID: 37566706 DOI: 10.1002/adma.202305605] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2023] [Revised: 08/05/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023]
Abstract
Potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) are gradually gaining attention owing to their natural abundance, excellent security, and high energy density. However, developing excellent organic cathode materials for PIBs to overcome the poor cycling stability and slow kinetics caused by the large radii of K+ ions is challenging. This study demonstrates for the first time the application of a hexaazanonaphthalene (HATN)-based 2D π-d conjugated metal-organic framework (2D c-MOF) with dual-active centers (Cu-HATNH) and integrates Cu-HATNH with carbon nanotubes (Cu-HATNH@CNT) as the cathode material for PIBs. Owing to this systematic module integration and more exposed active sites with high utilization, Cu-HATNH@CNT exhibits a high initial capacity (317.5 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 ), excellent long-term cycling stability (capacity retention of 96.8% at 5 A g-1 after 2200 cycles), and outstanding rate capacity (147.1 mA h g-1 at 10 A g-1 ). The reaction mechanism and performance are determined by combining experimental characterization and density functional theory calculations. This contribution provides new opportunities for designing high-performance 2D c-MOF cathodes with multiple active sites for PIBs.

Abstract
2D metal-organic frameworks (2D MOFs) with π conjugation have attracted widespread attention in the field of lithium storage due to their unique electron transfer units and structural characteristics. However, the periodic 2D planar extension structure hides some active sites, which is not conducive to the utilization of its structural advantages. In this work, a series of triptycene-based 2D conductive MOFs (M-DBH, M = Ni, Mn, and Co) with 3D extension structures are constructed by coordinating 9,10-dihydro-9,10-[1,2]benzenoanthracene-2,3,6,7,14,15-hexaol with metal ions to explore their potential applications in lithium-ion and lithium-sulfur batteries. This is the first study in which 2D conductive MOFs with the 3D extended molecule are used as electrode materials for lithium storage. The designed material generates rich active sites through staggered stacking layers and shows excellent performance in lithium-ion and lithium-sulfur batteries. The capacity retention rate of Ni-DBH can reach over 70% after 500 cycles at 0.2 C in lithium-ion batteries, while the capacity of S@Mn-DBH exceeds 305 mAh g-1 after 480 cycles at 0.5 C in lithium-sulfur batteries. Compared with the materials with 2D planar extended structures, the M-DBH electrodes with 3D extended structures in this work exhibit better performance in terms of cycle time and lithium storage capacity.

Abstract
The rational design and preparation of conductive metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are alluring and challenging pathways to develop active catalysts toward electrocatalytic glucose oxidation. The hybridization of conductive MOFs with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the form of a composite can greatly improve the electrocatalytic performance. Herein, a facile one-step synthetic strategy is utilized to fabricate a Ni3(HHTP)2/CNT (HHTP = 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexahydroxytriphenylene) composite for nonenzymatic detection of glucose in an alkaline solution. The Ni3(HHTP)2/CNT composite, as an electrochemical glucose sensor material, exhibits superior electrocatalytic activity toward glucose oxidation with a wide detection range of up to 3.9 mM, a low detection limit of 4.1 μM (signal/noise = 3), a fast amperometric response time of <2 s, and a high sensitivity of 4774 μA mM-1 cm-2, surpassing the performance of some recently reported nonenzymatic transition-metal-based glucose sensors. In addition, the composite sensor also shows outstanding selectivity, robust long-term electrochemical stability, favorable anti-interference properties, and good reproducibility. This work displays the effectiveness of enhancing the electrocatalytic performance toward glucose detection by combing conductive MOFs with CNTs, thereby opening up an applicable and encouraging approach for the design of advanced nonenzymatic glucose sensors.

Abstract
The development of coordination polymers with π-d conjugation (CCPs) provides ide prospects for exploring the next generation of environmental-friendliness energy storage systems. Herein, the synthesis, experimental characterizations, and Na-ion storage mechanism of π-d CCPs with multiple-active sites are reported, which use quinone-fused aza-phenazine (AP) and aza-phenazin (AP) as the organic ligands coordinated with the metal center (Ni2+ ). Among them, NiQAP as the cathode material exhibits impressive electrochemical properties applied in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), including the high initial/stable discharge specific capacities (180.0/225.6 mAh g-1 ) at 0.05 A g-1 , a long-term cycle stability up to 10,000 cycles at 1.0 A g-1 with a high reversible capacity of 100.1 mAh g-1 , and good rate capability of 99.6 mAh g-1 even at 5.0 A g-1 . Moreover, the Na-ion storage mechanism of NiQAP is also performed by the density functional theory (DFT) calculation, showing multiple-active sites of C≐O and C≐N (in the quinone and phenazine structure) and NiO4 (in the coordination unit) for Na-ion storage. These results highlight the importance of organic electrode material with the coordination units and provide a foundation for further studying the CCPs with multiple active sites for energy storage systems.

Abstract
Metal-complex-based materials for lithium storage have attracted great interest due to their highly designable structures with multiple active sites and well-defined lithium transport pathways. Their cycling and rate performances, however, are still constrained by structural stability and electrical conductivity. Herein, we present two hydrogen-bonded complex-based frameworks with excellent lithium storage capability. Multiple hydrogen bonds among the mononuclear molecules result in three-dimensional frameworks that are stable in electrolyte. The origin of the remarkable lithium storage performance of this family was revealed through kinetic analysis and DFT calculations.

Abstract
Porous materials have been widely applied for supercapacitors; however, the relationship between the electrochemical behaviors and the spatial structures has rarely been discussed before. Herein, we report a series of porous coordination cage (PCC) flexible supercapacitors with tunable three-dimensional (3D) cavities and redox centers. PCCs exhibit excellent capacitor performances with a superior molecular capacitance of 2510 F mmol-1, high areal capacitances of 250 mF cm-2, and unique cycle stability. The electrochemical behavior of PCCs is dictated by the size, type, and open-close state of the cavities. Both the charge binding site and the charge transportation pathway are unambiguously elucidated for PCC supercapacitors. These findings provide central theoretical support for the "structure-property relationship" for designing powerful electrode materials for flexible energy storage devices.

Abstract
Recently, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as the cathode materials for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) received growing attention. Herein, a novel MOF, Ni-Ndi-trz (Ndi-trz=2,7-di(4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)benzo[lmn][3,8]phenanthroline-1,3,6,8(2H,7H)-tetraone) was synthesized through a solvothermal method. Its rational design using a naphthalene diimide (Ndi) core allowed the formation of a four-fold interpenetrated pcu (primitive cubic) topology. The as-synthesized Ni-Ndi-trz is highly stable over a wide pH range (0-12) for 30 days, which is critical to ensure the decent cyclability of zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs). When used as the cathode material of ZIBs, it shows a high initial specific capacity of 90.7 mAh g-1 and excellent cycling stability. Remarkably, three-electrode system tests, ex situ FTIR, UV/Vis and XPS spectra revealed that the Ndi core of Ni-Ndi-trz undergoes a reversible interconversion between the keto and enol forms when interacting with Zn2+ ions. This work may shed light on the feasibility of designing novel MOFs and exploring their mechanisms for zinc ion batteries.

Abstract
Graphite is a widely used anode material in commercial lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), but its low theoretical specific capacity and extremely low redox potential limit its application in high-performance lithium-ion batteries. However, developing lithium-ion battery anode with high specific capacity and suitable working potential is still challenging. At present, conductive polymers with excellent properties and graphite-like structures are widely used in the field of electrochemistry, but their Li+ storage mechanism and kinetics are still unclear and need to be further investigated. Therefore, we synthesized the conducting polymer Fe3(2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11-hexahydroxytriphenylene)2 (Fe-CAT) by the liquid phase method, in which the d-π conjugated structure and pores facilitate electron transfer and electrolyte infiltration, improving the comprehensive electrochemical performance. The Fe-CAT electrode displays a high capacity of 950 mA h g-1 at 200 mA g-1. At the current density of 5.0 A g-1, the electrode shows a reversible capacity of 322 mA h g-1 after 1000 cycles. The average lithiation voltage plateau is ∼ 0.79 V. The combination of ex-situ characterization techniques and electrochemical kinetic analysis reveals the source of the excellent electrochemical performance of Fe-CAT. During the charging/discharging process, the aromatic ring in the organic ligand is involved in the redox reaction. Such results will provide new insights for the design of next-generation high-performance electrode materials for LIBs.

Abstract
Iodine has great potential in the energy storage, but high solubility of I3 - has seriously delayed its promotion. Benefited from abundant active sites and the open channel, two-dimensional coordination supramolecular networks (2D CSNs) is considered to be a candidate for the energy storage. Herein, a 2D porphyrin-CSN cathode named Zn-TCPP for aqueous iodine dual-ion battery (DIB) shows an excellent specific capacity of 278 mAh g-1 , and a high energy density of 340 Wh kg-1 at 5 A g-1 , as well as a durable cycle performance of 5000 cycles and a high Coulombic efficiency of 98 %. Molecular orbital theory, UV/VIS, Raman spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal charge-transfer interaction between the donor of porphyrin nitrogen and the acceptor of I3 - , and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations demonstrate the contribution of 2D layered network structure of Zn-TCPP to the penetration of I3 - .

Abstract
Covalent organic framework (COF) materials with porous character and robust structure have significant applied implications for K-ion battery (KIB) anodes, but they are limited by the low reversible capacity and inferior rate capability. Here, based on theoretical calculations, we identified that a porous bulk COF featuring numerous pyrazines and carbonyls in the π-conjugated periodic skeleton could provide multiple accessible redox-active sites for high-performance potassium storage. Its porous structure with a surface-dominated storage mechanism enabled the fast and stable storage of K-ions. Its insolubility in organic electrolytes and small volumetric change after potassiation ensured a robust electrode for stable cycling. As a KIB anode, this bulk COF demonstrated an unprecedentedly outstanding combination of reversible capacity (423 mAh g-1 at 0.1 C), rate capability (185 mAh g-1 at 10 C), and cyclability. The theoretical simulation and comprehensive characterizations confirmed the active sites are contributed by C═O, C═N, and the cation-π effect.

Abstract
Two-dimensional conductive metal-organic frameworks (2D-c-MOFs) have attracted extensive attention owing to their unique structures and physical-chemical properties. However, the planarly extended structure of 2D-c-MOFs usually limited the accessibility of the active sites. Herein, we designed a triptycene-based 2D vertically conductive MOF (2D-vc-MOF) by coordinating 2,3,6,7,14,15-hexahydroxyltriptycene (HHTC) with Cu2+ . The vertically extended 2D-vc-MOF(Cu) possesses a weak interlayer interaction, which leads to a facile exfoliation to the nanosheet. Compared with the classical 2D-c-MOFs with planarly extended 2D structures, 2D-vc-MOF(Cu) exhibits a 100 % increased catalytic activity in terms of turnover number and a two-fold increased selectivity. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations further revealed that higher activity originated from the lower energy barriers of the vertically extended 2D structures during the CO2 reduction reaction process.

Abstract
Quasi-two-dimensional (2D) fully π-d conjugated metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been widely employed as active materials of secondary batteries; however, the origin of their high charge storage capacity is still unknown. Some reports have proposed a mechanism by assuming the formation of multiple radicals on one organic ligand, although there is no firm evidence for such a mechanism, which would run counter to the resonance theory. In this work, we utilized various magnetometric techniques to monitor the formation and concentration of paramagnetic species during the electrochemical process of 2D π-d conjugated Cu-THQ MOF (THQ = tetrahydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone). The spin concentration of the fully reduced (discharged 1.5 V) electrode was estimated to be around only 0.1 spin-1/2 per CuO4 unit, which is much lower than that of the expected "diradical" form. More interestingly, a significant elevation of the temperature-independent paramagnetic term was simultaneously observed, which indicates the presence of delocalized π electrons in this discharged state. Such results were corroborated by first-principles density functional theory calculations and the electrochemically active density of states, which reveal the microscopic mechanism of the charge storage in the Cu-THQ MOF. Hence, a graphite-like charge storage mechanism, where the π-electron band accepts/donates electrons during the charge/discharge process, was suggested to explain the excessive charge storage of Cu-THQ. This graphite-like charge storage mechanism revealed by magnetic studies can be readily generalized to other π-d conjugated MOFs.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with diverse composition, tunable structure, and unique physicochemical properties have emerged as promising materials in various fields. The tunable pore structure, abundant active sites, and ultrahigh specific surface area can facilitate mass transport and provide outstanding capacity, making MOFs an ideal active material for electrochemical energy storage and conversion. However, the poor electrical conductivity of pristine MOFs severely limits their applications in electrochemistry. Developing conductive MOFs has proved to be an effective solution to this problem. This review focuses on the design and synthesis of conductive MOF composites with judiciously chosen conducting materials, pristine MOFs, and assembly methods, as well as the preparation of intrinsically conductive MOFs based on building 2D π-conjugated structures, introducing mixed-valence metal ions/redox-active ligands, designing π-π stacked pathways, and constructing infinite metal-sulfur chains (-M-S-)∞ . Furthermore, recent progress and challenges of conductive MOFs for energy storage and conversion (supercapacitors, Li-ion batteries, Li-S batteries, and electrochemical water splitting) are summarized.

Abstract
Polymer anodes have inspired considerable research interest for Na-ion batteries (NIBs) owing to their high structural flexibility and resource sustainability but are limited by the sluggish electrode kinetics, insufficient cyclability, and inferior electronic conductivity which usually made a large fraction (20-50 wt %) of conductive carbon additive necessitated. Herein, using a polymeric carbon nitride (PCN) anode as an example, we demonstrated that a moderate pyrolysis of the polymer anode could not only reduce its optical bandgap to enhance its electronic conductivity but also tune its microstructures to facilitate Na+ transfer/storage and sustain the repeated sodiation/desodiation. When used as NIBs anode with 10 wt % conductive carbon adding for preparing the electrode film, the moderate-pyrolysis PCN can promise high specific capacity (351 mAh g-1 at 0.1C), superb rate capability (151 and 95 mAh g-1 at 10C and 20C, respectively), and ultrastable cyclability (88.5% capacity retention after 6500 cycles at 2C). This comprehensive battery performance is much better than that of the previously reported organic counterparts. Our finding opened a new avenue in designing high-performance polymer anode for Na-ion batteries.

Abstract
Most metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) cannot be used as electrode materials for supercapacitors because of their high costs, poor stabilities in aqueous solutions, inferior intrinsic electrocatalytic activities, and poor conductivities. Herein, the application of two nickel(II) cluster-based pillar-layered MOFs, Ni-mba-Na ([Ni8(mba)6(Cl)2Na(OH-)3]n, H2mba is 2-mercaptobenzoic acid) and Ni-mba-K ([Ni8(mba)6(Cl)2K(OH-)3]n), as electrode materials are reported. They differ from conductive MOFs because they are insulators with small specific surface areas (<10 m2 g-1), and H2mba is an inexpensive raw material. The conductivities of Ni-mba-Na and Ni-mba-K at 30 °C were 4.002 × 10-10 and >10-11 S cm-1, respectively. They showed excellent supercapacitor performance and stabilities and high inherent densities and specific capacitances. The specific powers of their asymmetric supercapacitors could reach up to 16,000 W kg-1; the specific energies of Ni-mba-Na and Ni-mba-K were 16.9 and 21.8 Wh kg-1, respectively. Design recommendations for these MOFs are provided based on their structure and performance differences. This paper shows a novel application of nonconductive MOFs in the energy storage field and design of high-performance electrode materials for supercapacitors.

Abstract
Cu3 (HHTT)2 (HHTT: 2,3,7,8,12,13-hexahydroxytetraazanaphthotetraphene) is a novel 2D conjugated metal-organic framework (2D c-MOF) with efficient in-plane d-π conjugations and strong interlayer π-π interactions while the growth of Cu3 (HHTT)2 thin films has never been reported until now. Here, the successful fabrication of highly oriented wafer-scale Cu3 (HHTT)2 thin films with a layer-by-layer growth method on various substrates is presented. Its semiconducting behavior and carrier transport mechanisms are clarified through temperature and frequency-dependent conductivity measurements. Flexible photodetectors based on Cu3 (HHTT)2 thin films exhibit reliable photoresponses at room temperature in a wavelength region from UV to mid-IR, which is much broader than those of solution-processed broadband photodetectors reported previously. Moreover, the photodetectors can show a typical synaptic behavior and excellent data recognition accuracy in artificial neural networks. This work opens a window for the exploration of high-performance and multifunctional optoelectronic devices based on 2D c-MOFs.

Abstract
Organic electrode materials (OEMs) emerge as one of the most promising candidates for the next-generation rechargeable batteries, mainly owing to their advantages of bountiful resources, high theoretical capacity, structural designability, and sustainability. However, OEMs usually suffer from poor electronic conductivity and unsatisfied stability in common organic electrolytes, ultimately leading to their deteriorating output capacity and inferior rate capability. Making clear of the issues from microscale to macroscale level is of great importance for the exploration of novel OEMs. Herein, the challenges and advanced strategies to boost the electrochemical performance of redox-active OEMs for sustainable secondary batteries are systematically summarized. Particularly, the characterization technologies and computational methods to elucidate the complex redox reaction mechanisms and confirm the organic radical intermediates of OEMs have been introduced. Moreover, the structural design of OEMs-based full cells and the outlook for OEMs are further presented. This review will shed light on the in-depth understanding and development of OEMs for sustainable secondary batteries.

Abstract
The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is crucial to electrochemical hydrogen production. However, designing and fabricating efficient electrocatalysts still remains challenging. By confinedly coordinating organic ligands with metal species in layered double hydroxides (LDHs), an innovative LDHs-assisted approach is developed to facilely synthesize freestanding bimetallic 2D metal-organic framework nanosheets (2D MOF NSs), preserving the metallic components and activities in OER. Furthermore, the research has demonstrated that the incorporation of carboxyl organic ligands coordinated with metal atoms as proton transfer mediators endow 2D MOF NSs with efficient proton transfer during the electrochemical OHads → Oads transition. These freestanding NiFe-2D MOF NSs require a small overpotential of 260 mV for a current density of 10 mA cm-2 . When this strategy is applied to LDH nanosheets grown on nickel foam, the overpotential can be reduced to 221 mV. This outstanding OER activity supports the capability of multimetallic organic frameworks for the rational design of water oxidation electrocatalysts. This strategy provides a universal path to the synthesis of 2D MOF NSs that can be used as electrocatalysts directly.

Abstract
High-performance lithium ion batteries (LIBs) juggling high reversible capacity, excellent rate capability and ultralong cycle stability are urgently needed for all electronic devices. Here we report employing a vesicle-like porous N-doped carbon material (abbr. N/C-900) as a highly active anode for LIBs to balance high capacity, high rate and long life. The N/C-900 material was fabricated by pyrolysis of a designed crystal MOF LCU-104, which exhibits a graceful two-fold interpenetrating structural feature of N-rich nanocages {Zn6(dttz)4} linked through an N-donor ligand bpp (H3dttz = 4,5-di(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-2H-1,2,3-triazole, bpp = 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane). The features of LCU-104 combine high N content (35.1%), interpenetration, and explosive characteristics, which endow the derived N/C material with optimized N-doping for tuning its chemical and electronic structure, a suitably thicker wall to enhance its stability, and a vesicle-like structure to improve its porosity. As an anode material for LIBs, N/C-900 delivers a highly reversible capacity of ca. 734 mA h g-1 at a large current density of 1 A g-1 until the 2000th cycle, revealing its ultralong cycle stability and excellent rate capability. The unique structure and preferential interaction between abundant pyridinic N active sites and Li atoms are responsible for the improved excellent lithium storage capacity and durability performances of the anode according to analysis of the results of computational modeling.

Abstract
Highly π-conjugated (hetero)cyclic molecules having delocalized orbitals and tunable charge mobilities are attractive redox relays for mediated bioelectrocatalysis in manifold applications. As rigid molecules, their dynamics within the soft but confined intraprotein space becomes the crucial determinant of the enzyme-mediator electron-tunneling efficiency. However, it is rarely investigated in designing the mediated interface with a particular biocatalyst (e.g., oxidoreductase), which remains an empirical but try-and-error process. Herein, we present the computer-aided exploration of interactions between a flavin-containing reductive synthase and structurally diverse π-extended (hetero)cyclic mediators to realize reversed bioelectrocatalytic oxidation at low overpotentials. Compared to ring-fused systems with unbroken molecular planarity, heteroatom-bridged cyclic, and rotatable conjugated structures (e.g., indophenols) can experience unusually large dynamic torsion under biased forces of hydrogen bonding with enzyme residues. This behavior led to fast intraprotein reorientation (<50 ps) that shortened the electron-tunneling distance from 12 to 9 Å. Meanwhile, the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital level upon molecular torsion was decreased by 0.5 eV to further promote electron abstraction from the reduced flavin cofactor. An efficient distant electron tunneling also obviated mediator transport through the substrate channel, thus avoiding competitive inhibition on enzyme kinetics to broaden the operating concentration range. The resulting bioelectrocatalytic interface enables low-potential biosensing of glutamate with improved selectivity. Our finding provides new structural insights into constructing efficient long-range heterogeneous charge transport with biomacromolecular catalysts.
