Abstract
Turning waste into valuable products is one of the main challenges of the chemical industry. In this work, chitosan (CS), an abundant, low-cost, and non-toxic biopolymer derived from chitin, was reshaped into beads of ~3 mm. Their suitability as a support material for active phase catalyst materials was tested for a zirconium-based Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) with incorporated Pt, namely UiO-67-Pt. Its incorporation was investigated via two procedures: a one-pot synthesis (OPS) and a post-synthetic functionalization (PSF) synthesis method. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images show good UiO-67-Pt dispersion throughout the CS beads for the one-pot synthesized material (UiO-67-Pt-OPS@CS). However, this uniform dispersion was not observed for the post-synthetically functionalized material (UiO-67-Pt-PSF@CS). The success of the implementation of UiO-67-Pt was evaluated with ultraviolet-visible and infrared spectroscopy for both composite materials. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) reveals higher thermal stabilities for UiO-67-Pt-OPS@CS composite beads in comparison to pure CS beads, but not for UiO-67-Pt-PSF@CS. The study provides valuable insights into the potential of chitosan as a green, bead-shaped support material for MOFs, offering flexibility in their incorporation through different synthesis routes. It further contributes to the broader goal of the sustainable and eco-friendly design of a new generation of catalysts made from waste materials, which will be the topic of future studies.

Abstract
Surface‐mounted metal–organic frameworks (SURMOFs) show promising behavior for a manifold of applications. As MOF thin films are often unsuitable for conventional characterization techniques, understanding their advantageous properties over their bulk counterparts presents a great analytical challenge. In this work, we demonstrate that MOFs can be grown on calcium fluoride (CaF2) windows after proper functionalization. As CaF2 is optically (in the IR and UV/Vis range of the spectrum) transparent, this makes it possible to study SURMOFs using conventional spectroscopic tools typically used during catalysis or gas sorption. Hence, we have measured HKUST‐1 during the adsorption of CO and NO. We show that no copper oxide impurities are observed and also confirm that SURMOFs grown by a layer‐by‐layer (LbL) approach possess Cu+ species in paddlewheel confirmation, but 1.9 times less than in bulk HKUST‐1. The developed methodology paves the way for studying the interaction of any adsorbed gases with thin films, not limited to MOFs, low temperatures, or these specific probe molecules, pushing the boundaries of our current understanding of functional porous materials.

Abstract
The design and development of highly efficient electrocatalysts are very important in energy storage and conversion. As a kind of inorganic organic hybrid material, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been used as electrocatalysts in electrocatalytic reactions due to their structural diversities and fascinating functionalities. Particularly, MOF thin films are coordinated on substrate surfaces by a liquid phase epitaxial (LPE) layer by layer (LBL) growth method (called surface-coordinated MOF thin films, SURMOFs), and recently have been studied in various applications due to their precisely controlled thickness, preferred growth orientation and homogeneous surface. In this review, we will summarize the preparation and electrocatalysis of SURMOFs and their derived thin films (SURMOF-D). The SURMOF based thin films possess diverse topological structures and flexible properties, providing abundant catalytically active sites and fast charge transfer for efficient electrocatalytic performance in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CRR), supercapacitors, tandem electrocatalysis and so on. The research challenges and problems of SURMOFs for electrocatalytic applications are also discussed at the end of the review.

Abstract
Over the past decades, the development of porous materials has directly or indirectly affected industrial production methods. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as an emerging class of porous materials exhibit some unique advantages, including controllable composition, a large surface area, high porosity, and so on. These attractive characteristics of MOFs have led to their potential applications in energy storage and conversion devices, drug delivery, adsorption and storage, sensors, and other areas. However, powdered MOFs have limited practical applications owing to poor processability, safety hazards from dust formation, and poor recyclability. In addition, the inherent micro/mesoporosities of MOFs also reduce the accessibility and diffusion kinetics for large molecules. To improve their processability for practical applications, MOFs are often deposited as MOF layers or films (i.e., MOF-coated composites) on supporting materials or are formed into 3D structured composites, such as aerogels and hydrogels. In this article, we review recent researches on these MOF composites, including their synthetic methods and potential applications in energy storage devices, heavy metal ion adsorption, and water purification. Finally, the future outlook and challenges associated with the large-scale fabrication of MOF-based composites for practical applications are discussed.
