Abstract
Ordered pore engineering that embeds uniform pores with periodic alignment in electrocatalysts opens up a new avenue for achieving further performance promotion. Hierarchically ordered porous metal-organic frameworks (HOP-MOFs) possessing multilevel pores with ordered distribution are the promising precursors for the exploration of ordered porous electrocatalysts, while the scalable acquisition of HOP-MOFs with editable components and adjustable pore size regimes is critical. This review presents recent progress on hierarchically ordered pore engineering of MOF-based materials for enhanced electrocatalysis. The synthetic strategies of HOP-MOFs with different pore size regimes, including the self-assembly guided by reticular chemistry, surfactant, nanoemulsion, and nanocasting, are first introduced. Then the applications of HOP-MOFs as the precursors for exploring hierarchically ordered porous electrocatalysts are summarized, selecting representatives to highlight the boosted performance. Especially, the intensification of molecule and ion transport integrated with optimized electron transfer and site exposure over the hierarchically ordered porous derivatives are emphasized to clarify the directional transfer and integration effect endowed by ordered pore engineering. Finally, the remaining scientific challenges and an outlook of this field are proposed. It is hoped that this review will guide the hierarchically ordered pore engineering of nanocatalysts for boosting the catalytic performance and promoting the practical applications.

Abstract
Proton-conducting metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted attention as potential electrolytes for fuel cells. However, research progress in utilizing MOFs as electrolytes for fuel cells has been limited, mainly due to challenges associated with issues such as the fabrication of MOF membranes, and hydrogen crossover through the MOF's pores. Here, proton conductivity and fuel cell performance of a self-standing membrane prepared from of a bismuth subgallate MOF nanosheets with non-porous structure are reported. The fabricated MOF nanosheet membrane with no binding agent exhibits structural anisotropy. The proton conductivity in the membrane thickness direction (4.4 × 10-3 S cm-1) at 90 °C and RH 100% is observed to be higher than that in the in-plane direction of the membrane (3.3 × 10-5 S cm-1). The open circuit voltage (OCV) of a fuel cell with ≈120 µm proton conducting membrane is 1.0 V. The non-porous nature of the MOF nanosheets contributes to the relatively high OCV. A fuel cell using ≈40 µm membrane as proton conducting electrolyte records a maximum of 25 mW cm-2 power density and a maximum of 109 mA cm-2 current density with 0.91 V OCV at 80 °C in humid conditions.

Highly Efficient One-pot Electrosynthesis of Oxime Ethers from NOx over Ultrafine MgO Nanoparticles Derived from Mg-based Metal-Organic Frameworks. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202405553.

Abstract
Oxime ethers are attractive compounds in medicinal scaffolds due to the biological and pharmaceutical properties, however, the crucial and widespread step of industrial oxime formation using explosive hydroxylamine (NH2OH) is insecure and troublesome. Herein, we present a convenient method of oxime ether synthesis in a one-pot tandem electrochemical system using magnesium based metal-organic framework-derived magnesium oxide anchoring in self-supporting carbon nanofiber membrane catalyst (MgO-SCM), the in situ produced NH2OH from nitrogen oxides electrocatalytic reduction coupled with aldehyde to produce 4-cyanobenzaldoxime with a selectivity of 93 % and Faraday efficiency up to 65.1 %, which further reacted with benzyl bromide to directly give oxime ether precipitate with a purity of 97 % by convenient filtering separation. The high efficiency was attributed to the ultrafine MgO nanoparticles in MgO-SCM, effectively inhibiting hydrogen evolution reaction and accelerating the production of NH2OH, which rapidly attacked carbonyl of aldehydes to form oximes, but hardly crossed the hydrogenation barrier of forming amines, thus leading to a high yield of oxime ether when coupling benzyl bromide nucleophilic reaction. This work highlights the importance of kinetic control in complex electrosynthetic organonitrogen system and demonstrates a green and safe alternative method for synthesis of organic nitrogen drug molecules.

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

Abstract
The development of a methodology for synthesizing value-added urea (CO(NH2)2) via a renewable electricity-driven C-N coupling reaction under mild conditions is highly anticipated. However, the complex catalytic active sites that act on the carbon and nitrogen species make the reaction mechanism unclear, resulting in a low efficiency of C-N coupling from the co-reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrate (NO3 -). Herein, we propose a novel tandem catalyst of Mo-PCN-222(Co), in which the Mo sites serve to facilitate nitrate reduction to the *NH2 intermediate, while the Co sites enhance CO2 reduction to carbonic oxide (CO), thus synergistically promoting C-N coupling. The synthesized Mo-PCN-222(Co) catalyst exhibited a noteworthy urea yield rate of 844.11 mg h-1 g-1, alongside a corresponding Faradaic efficiency of 33.90 % at -0.4 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE). By combining in situ spectroscopic techniques with density functional theory calculations, we demonstrate that efficient C-N coupling is attributed to a tandem system in which the *NH2 and *CO intermediates produced by the Mo and Co active sites of Mo-PCN-222(Co) stabilize the formation of the *CONH2 intermediate. This study provides an effective avenue for the design and synthesis of tandem catalysts for electrocatalytic urea synthesis.

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

Abstract
In this study, a chiral [Cu(l-proline)2] complex-modified Fe3O4@SiO2@UiO-66-NH2(Zr) metal-organic framework [Fe3O4@SiO2@UiO-66-NH-Cu(l-proline)2] via multifunctionalization strategies was designed and synthesized. One simple approach to chiralize an achiral MOF-structure that cannot be directly chiralized using a chiral secondary agent like 4-hydroxy-l-proline. Therefore, this chiral catalyst was synthesized with a simple and multistep method. Accordingly, Fe3O4@SiO2@UiO-66-NH2 has been synthesized via Fe3O4 modification with tetraethyl orthosilicate and subsequently with ZrCl4 and 2-aminoterephthalic acid. The presence of the silica layer helps to stabilize the Fe3O4 core, while the bonding between Zr4+ and the -OH groups in the silica layer promotes the development of Zr-MOFs on the Fe3O4 surface, and then the surfaces of the synthesized magnetic MOFs composite are functionalized with 1,2-dichloroethane and Cu(II) complex with 4-hydroxy-l-proline, [Cu(l-proline)2] to afford the magnetically chiral nanocatalyst. Multiple techniques were employed to characterize this magnetically chiral nanocatalyst such as Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), circular dichroism (CD), inductively coupled plasma (ICP), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), vibrating-sample magnetometry (VSM), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analyses. Moreover, a magnetically chiral nanocatalyst shows the asymmetric CO2 fixation reaction under solvent-free conditions at 80 °C and in ethanol under reflux conditions with up to 99 and 98% ee, respectively. Furthermore, the reaction mechanism was illustrated concerning the total energy of the reactant, intermediates and product, and the structural parameters were analyzed.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have historically been of interest to researchers in different areas due to their distinctive characteristics, including well-ordered pores, large specific surface area, and structural tunability. In the past few years, as COF synthesis techniques developed, COF-based composites fabricated by integrating COFs and other functional materials including various kinds of metal or metal oxide nanoparticles, ionic liquids, metal-organic frameworks, silica, polymers, enzymes and carbon nanomaterials have emerged as a novel kind of porous hybrid material. Herein, we first provide a thorough summary of advanced strategies for preparing COF-based composites; then, the emerging applications of COF-based composites in diverse fields due to their synergistic effects are systematically highlighted, including analytical chemistry (sensing, extraction, membrane separation, and chromatographic separation) and catalysis. Finally, the current challenges associated with future perspectives of COF-based composites are also briefly discussed to inspire the advancement of more COF-based composites with excellent properties.

Abstract
The rapid recombination of interfacial charges is considered to be the main obstacle limiting the photocatalytic CO2 reduction. Thus, it is a challenge to research an accurate and stable charge transfer control strategy. MIL-53 (Al)-S/Cd0.3Zn0.7S (MAS/CZS-0.3) photocatalysts with chemically bonded interfaces were constructed by in-situ electrostatic assembly of sulfur defect Cd0.3Zn0.7S (CZS-0.3) on the surface of MIL-53 (Al) (MAW), which enhanced interfacial coupling and accelerated electron transfer efficiency. An adjustable proportion of syngas (H2/CO) was prepared by photothermal catalytic CO2 reduction at micro-interface. and the optimal yield of CO (66.10 μmol∙g-1∙h-1) and H2 (71.0 μmol∙g-1∙h-1) was realized by the MAS/CZS-0.3 photocatalyst. The improved activity was due to the photogenerated electrons migrated from CZS-0.3 to the adsorption active sites of MAS, which strengthened the adsorption and activation of CO2 on MAS. The photothermal catalytic CO2 reduction to CO follows the pathway of CO2→*COOH → CO and CO2→*HCO3-→CO. This work provided a reference for the research, characterization, and application of in-situ anchoring of metal organic frameworks in photothermal catalytic CO2 reduction, and provided a green path for the supply of Syngas in industry.

Abstract
The development of highly active and stable electrode materials for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is essential for the widespread application of electrochemical energy conversion systems. In recent years, various metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with self-supporting array structures have been extensively studied because of their high porosity, abundant metal sites, and flexible and adjustable structures. This review provides an overview of the recent progress in the design, preparation, and applications of MOF-based nanoarrays for the OER, beginning with the introduction of the architectural advantages of the nanoarrays and the characteristics of MOFs. Subsequently, the design principles of robust and efficient MOF-based nanoarrays as OER electrodes are highlighted. Furthermore, detailed discussions focus on the composition, structure, and performance of pristine MOF nanoarrays (MOFNAs) and MOF-based composite nanoarrays. On the one hand, the effects of the two components of MOFs and several modification methods are discussed in detail for MOFNAs. On the other hand, the review emphasizes the use of MOF-based composite nanoarrays composed of MOFs and other nanomaterials, such as oxides, hydroxides, oxyhydroxides, chalcogenides, MOFs, and metal nanoparticles, to guide the rational design of efficient OER electrodes. Finally, perspectives on current challenges, opportunities, and future directions in this research field are provided.

Abstract
The electrocatalytic oxidation of glucose plays a vital role in biomass conversion, renewable energy, and biosensors, but significant challenges remain to achieve high selectivity and high activity simultaneously. In this study, we present a novel approach for achieving complete glucose electrooxidation utilizing Cu-based metal-hydroxide-organic framework (Cu-MHOF) featuring coordinatively unsaturated Cu active sites. In contrast to traditional Cu(OH)2 catalysts, the Cu-MHOF exhibits a remarkable 40-fold increase in electrocatalytic activity for glucose oxidation, enabling exclusive oxidation of glucose into formate and carbonate as the final products. The critical role of open metal sites in enhancing the adsorption affinity of glucose and key intermediates was confirmed by control experiments and density functional theory simulations. Subsequently, a miniaturized nonenzymatic glucose sensor was developed showing superior performance with a high sensitivity of 214.7 μA mM-1 cm-2 , a wide detection range from 0.1 μM to 22 mM, and a low detection limit of 0.086 μM. Our work provides a novel molecule-level strategy for designing catalytically active sites and could inspire the development of novel metal-organic framework for next-generation electrochemical devices.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) possess well-defined, designable structures, holding great potential in enhancing product selectivity for electrochemical CO2 reduction (CO2R) through active site engineering. Here, we report a novel MOF catalyst featuring pyrazolate-stabilized asymmetric Ni/Cu sites, which not only maintains structural stability under harsh electrochemical conditions but also exhibits extraordinarily high ethylene (C2H4) selectivity during CO2R. At a cathode potential of -1.3 V versus RHE, our MOF catalyst, denoted as Cu1Ni-BDP, manifests a C2H4 Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 52.7% with an overall current density of 0.53 A cm-2 in 1.0 M KOH electrolyte, surpassing that on prevailing Cu-based catalysts. More remarkably, the Cu1Ni-BDP MOF exhibits a stable performance with only 4.5% reduction in C2H4 FE during 25 h of CO2 electrolysis. A suite of characterization tools─such as high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, operando X-ray diffraction, and infrared spectroscopy─and density functional theory calculations collectively reveal that the cubic pyrazolate-metal coordination structure and the asymmetric Ni-Cu sites in the MOF catalyst synergistically facilitate the stable formation of C2H4 from CO2.

Abstract
Multifunctional electrocatalysts are crucial to cost-effective electrochemical energy conversion and storage systems requiring mutual enhancement of disparate reactions. Embedding noble metal nanoparticles in 2D metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are proposed as an effective strategy, however, the hybrids usually suffer from poor electrochemical performance and electrical conductivity in operating conditions. Herein, ultrafine Pt nanoparticles strongly anchored on thiophenedicarboxylate acid based 2D Fe-MOF nanobelt arrays (Pt@Fe-MOF) are fabricated, allowing sufficient exposure of active sites with superior trifunctional electrocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution, oxygen evolution, and oxygen reduction reactions. The interfacial Fe─O─Pt bonds can induce the charge redistribution of metal centers, leading to the optimization of adsorption energy for reaction intermediates, while the dispersibility of ultrafine Pt nanoparticles contributes to the high mass activity. When Pt@Fe-MOF is used as bifunctional catalysts for water-splitting, a low voltage of 1.65 V is required at 100 mA cm-2 with long-term stability for 20 h at temperatures (65 °C) relevant for industrial applications, outperforming commercial benchmarks. Furthermore, liquid Zn-air batteries with Pt@Fe-MOF in cathodes deliver high open-circuit voltages (1.397 V) and decent cycling stability, which motivates the fabrication of flexible quasisolid-state rechargeable Zn-air batteries with remarkable performance.

Abstract
Effective control over the crystallization of metal-organic framework (MOF) films is of great importance not only for the performance study and optimization in related applications but also for the fundamental understanding of the involved reticular chemistry. Featuring many technological advantages, electrochemical synthesis has been extensively reported for many MOF materials but is still challenged by the production of dense oriented films with a large-range tuning of thickness. Here, we report a ligand-oxidation-based anodic strategy capable of synthesizing oriented films of two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) conductive M-catecholate MOFs (2D Cu3(HHTP)2, 2D Zn3(HHTP)2, 2D Co3(HHTP)2, 3D YbHHTP, and 2D Cu2TBA) with tunable thicknesses up to tens of micrometers on commonly used electrodes. This anodic strategy relies on the oxidation of redox-active catechol ligands and follows a stepwise electrochemical-chemical reaction mechanism to achieve effective control over crystallizing M-catecholate MOFs into films oriented in the [001] direction. Benefiting from the electrically conductive nature, Cu3(HHTP)2 films could be thickened at a steady rate (17.4 nm·min-1) from ∼90 nm to 10.7 μm via a growth mechanism differing from those adopted in previous electrochemical synthesis of dense MOF films with limited thickness due to the self-inhibition effect. This anodic synthesis could be further combined with a templating strategy to fabricate not only films with well-defined 2D features in sizes from micrometers to millimeters but also high aspect ratio mesostructures, such as nanorods, of Cu3(HHTP)2.

Abstract
The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a key process in various energy storage/generation technologies. Tuning the electronic structures of catalysts is an effective approach to improve the catalyst's activity. In this work, we synthesized Ce-doped cobalt-organic frameworks with benzene-1, 4-dicarboxylic acid (BDC) as the ligand as efficient OER electrocatalysts (denoted as Co3Ce1 BDC) with excellent stability and improved catalytic performance. The introduced Ce in Co3Ce1 BDC changes the surface configuration and tunes electronic structures of the active Co site, leading to enhanced interaction between intermediates and catalysts. Besides, the specific surface area, reaction kinetics, charge transfer efficiency, and turnover frequency are also improved in the presence of Ce. As a result, the Co3Ce1 BDC demonstrated excellent performance with a low overpotential of 285 mV at a current of 10 mA·cm-2, a preferable Tafel slope of 56.1 mV·dec-1, and an excellent durability in 1 M KOH, indicating the potential for practical applications in water splitting and other energy storage technologies wherein the OER plays a critical role. Comprehensive theoretical calculations and modeling further identified the key role of Ce in modulating the electronic structure and OER activity of cobalt-organic frameworks. Most importantly, this work provides a new strategy to the development of efficient cobalt-organic framework catalysts in OER-related applications.

Abstract
Zinc-air batteries (ZABs) have garnered significant interest as a viable substitute for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), primarily due to their impressive energy density and low cost. However, the efficacy of zinc-air batteries is heavily dependent on electrocatalysts, which play a vital role in enhancing reaction efficiency and stability. This scholarly review article highlights the crucial significance of electrocatalysts in zinc-air batteries and explores the rationale behind employing Fe-Co-Ni-Zn-based metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived hybrid materials as potential electrocatalysts. These MOF-derived electrocatalysts offer advantages such as abundancy, high catalytic activity, tunability, and structural stability. Various synthesis methods and characterization techniques are employed to optimize the properties of MOF-derived electrocatalysts. Such electrocatalysts exhibit excellent catalytic activity, stability, and selectivity, making them suitable for applications in ZABs. Furthermore, they demonstrate notable capabilities in the realm of ZABs, encompassing elevated energy density, efficacy, and prolonged longevity. It is imperative to continue extensively researching and developing this area to propel the advancement of ZAB technology forward and pave the way for its practical implementation across diverse fields.
