Defect Engineering Strategy for Superior Integration of Metal-Organic Framework and Halide Perovskite as a Fluorescence Sensing Material. ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2024; 16:31023-31035. [PMID: 38650171 PMCID: PMC11194771 DOI: 10.1021/acsami.4c00770] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2024] [Revised: 04/01/2024] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024]
Abstract
Combining halide perovskite quantum dots (QDs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) material is challenging when the QDs' size is larger than the MOFs' nanopores. Here, we adopted a simple defect engineering approach to increase the size of zeolitic imidazolate framework 90 (ZIF-90)'s pores size to better load CH3NH3PbBr3 perovskite QDs. This defect structure effect can be easily achieved by adjusting the metal-to-ligand ratio throughout the ZIF-90 synthesis process. The QDs are then grown in the defective structure, resulting in a hybrid ZIF-90-perovskite (ZP) composite. The QDs in ZP composites occupied the gap of 10-18 nm defective ZIF-90 crystal and interestingly isolated the QDs with high stability in aqueous solution. We also investigated the relationship between defect engineering and fluorescence sensing, finding that the aqueous Cu2+ ion concentration was directly correlated to defective ZIF-90 and ZP composites. We also found that the role of the O-Cu coordination bonds and CH3NHCu+ species formation in the materials when they reacted with Cu2+ was responsible for this relationship. Finally, this strategy was successful in developing Cu2+ ion fluorescence sensing in water with better selectivity and sensitivity.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) represent a relatively new family of materials that attract lots of attention thanks to their unique features such as hierarchical porosity, active metal centers, versatility of linkers/metal nodes, and large surface area. Among the extended list of MOFs, Zr-based-MOFs demonstrate comparably superior chemical and thermal stabilities, making them ideal candidates for energy and environmental applications. As a Zr-MOF, NU-1000 is first synthesized at Northwestern University. A comprehensive review of various approaches to the synthesis of NU-1000 MOFs for obtaining unique surface properties (e.g., diverse surface morphologies, large surface area, and particular pore size distribution) and their applications in the catalysis (electro-, and photo-catalysis), CO2 reduction, batteries, hydrogen storage, gas storage/separation, and other environmental fields are presented. The review further outlines the current challenges in the development of NU-1000 MOFs and their derivatives in practical applications, revealing areas for future investigation.

Hydrophobicity of molecular-scale textured surfaces: The case of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks, an atomistic perspective. J Chem Phys 2023; 159:184709.

Abstract
Hydrophobicity has proven fundamental in an inexhaustible amount of everyday applications. Material hydrophobicity is determined by chemical composition and geometrical characteristics of its macroscopic surface. Surface roughness or texturing enhances intrinsic hydrophilic or hydrophobic characteristics of a material. Here we consider crystalline surfaces presenting molecular-scale texturing typical of crystalline porous materials, e.g., metal-organic frameworks. In particular, we investigate one such material with remarkable hydrophobic qualities, ZIF-8. We show that ZIF-8 hydrophobicity is driven not only by its chemical composition but also its sub-nanoscale surface corrugations, a physical enhancement rare amongst hydrophobes. Studying ZIF-8's hydrophobic properties is challenging as experimentally it is difficult to distinguish between the materials' and the macroscopic corrugations' contributions to the hydrophobicity. The computational contact angle determination is also difficult as the standard "geometric" technique of liquid nanodroplet deposition is prone to many artifacts. Here, we characterise ZIF-8 hydrophobicity via: (i) the "geometric" approach and (ii) the "energetic" method, utilising the Young-Dupré formula and computationally determining the liquid-solid adhesion energy. Both approaches reveal nanoscale Wenzel-like bathing of the corrugated surface. Moreover, we illustrate the importance of surface linker termination in ZIF-8 hydrophobicity, which reduces when varied from sp3 N to sp2 N termination. We also consider halogenated analogues of the methyl-imidazole linker, which promote the transition from nanoWenzel-like to nanoCassie-Baxter-like states, further enhancing surface hydrophobicity. Present results reveal the complex interface physics and chemistry between water and complex porous, molecular crystalline surfaces, providing a hint to tune their hydrophobicity.

Abstract
This study is devoted to investigating the stability of metal-organic framework (MOF)-hybrid perovskites consisting of CH3NH3PbI3 (MAPbI3) and UiO-66 without a functional group and UiO-66 with different COOH, NH2,and F functional groups under external influences including heat, light, and humidity. By conducting crystallinity, optical, and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) measurements after long-term aging, all of the prepared MAPbI3@UiO-66 nanocomposites (with pristine UiO-66 or UiO-66 with additional functional groups) were stable to light soaking and a relative humidity (RH) of 50%. Moreover, the UiO-66 and UiO-66-(F)4 hybrid perovskite films possessed a higher heat tolerance than the other two UiO-66 with the additional functional groups of NH2 and COOH. Tthe MAPbI3@UiO-66-(F)4 delivered the highest stability and improved optical properties after aging. This study provides a deeper understanding of the impact of the structure of hybrid MOFs on the stability of the composite films.

Abstract
An interpenetrating structure endows metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with many exciting applications, such as fluorescence detection and host-guest chemistry. Herein, two unique structure-interpenetrating In-MOFs (In-pdda-1 and In-pdda-2; H2pdda = 4,4'-(pyridine-2,5-diyl)dibenzoic acid) are constructed by different coordination configurations. The four-connected In3+ center shows a triangular-pyramidal configuration or a 2D rectangle, forming an unc topology for In-pdda-1 and a sql network for In-pdda-2, respectively. Two different interpenetrating modes created by linear rigid ligands and metal clusters are observed in the two MOFs (In-pdda-1, 8-fold interpenetrating mode; In-pdda-2, [2D + 2D] interpenetrating mode), which determine the channel-size-dependent properties in fluorescence applications. During the quantitative detection process of gossypol, the small rhombic channels divided by interpenetrating molecular planes of In-pdda-2 greatly limit the distance between the analyte and the probe, promoting electron transfer and energy transfer processes and thus resulting in a low detection limit (28.6 nM). In addition, the pore size effect of In-pdda-1 encouraged us to explore an in situ perovskite quantum dot encapsulation strategy to obtain a MAPbBr3@MOF material with tunable and stable luminescence properties. Both of the above channel-size-dependent fluorescence properties may provide inspiration for the structural design and specialized applications of MOF materials.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and metal halide perovskites are currently under much investigation due to their unique properties and applications. Herein, an innovative strategy has been developed combining an iron-porphyrin MOF, PCN-222(Fe), and an in situ-grown CsCu2I3 nontoxic lead-free halide perovskite based on an earth-abundant metal that becomes incorporated within the MOF channels [CsCu2I3@PCN-222(Fe)]. Encapsulation was designed to decrease and control the particle size and increase the stability of CsCu2I3. The hybrid materials were characterized by various techniques including FE-SEM, elemental mapping and line scanning EDX, TEM, PXRD, UV-Vis DRS, BET surface area, XPS, and photoemission measurements. Hybrid CsCu2I3@PCN-222(Fe) materials were examined as heterogeneous multifunctional (photo)catalysts for copper(I)-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition (CuAAC) and one-pot selective photo-oxidation/Knoevenagel condensation cascade reaction. Interestingly, CsCu2I3@PCN-222(Fe) outperforms not only its individual components CsCu2I3 and PCN-222(Fe) but also other reported (photo)catalysts for these transformations. This is attributed to cooperation and synergistic effects of the PCN-222(Fe) host and CsCu2I3 nanocrystals. To understand the catalytic and photocatalytic mechanisms, control and inhibition experiments, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements, and time-resolved phosphorescence were performed, revealing the main role of active species of Cu(I) in the click reaction and the superoxide ion (O2•-) and singlet oxygen (1O2) in the photocatalytic reaction.

Abstract
Nucleation and growth of quantum dots (QDs) are thermodynamic processes driven by the total Gibbs free energy change (ΔG). We discuss the nucleation and growth theory of perovskite quantum dots (PeQDs) inside a metal-organic framework (MOF) as a strong constraint framework, which can effectively confine the size of QDs below 3 nm and achieve a scintillator with an ultra-fast transient lifetime of fluorescence. Therefore, based on the requirements for the optical properties of ultra-fast scintillation materials, two kinds of suitable MOFs (UiO-67-bpy and MIL-101(Cr)) were selected for synthesis. The method of 'ship-in-bottle' was adopted to embed perovskite quantum dots CsPbBrCl2 into MOF cages to form PeQDs@MOF composite materials, which is different from the one-pot method. In order to further improve the stability of PeQDs@MOF, polystyrene was used to cure the composite scintillator, which can resist exposure to UV light and withstand the ISO level 4 test, with the fastest transient lifetime of 2.13 ns and a fluorescence emission wavelength of 445 nm.

Abstract
All-inorganic perovskite quantum dots (PQDs), which possess outstanding photophysical properties, are regarded as promising materials for optoelectronic applications. However, the poor light conversion efficiency and severe stability problem hinder their widespread applications. In this work, a novel encapsulation strategy is developed through the in situ growth of CsPbX3 PQDs in presynthesized mesoporous cerium-based metal organic frameworks (Ce-MOFs) and further silane hydrolysis-encapsulation, generating stable CsPbX3@Ce-MOF@SiO2 composites with greatly enhanced light conversion efficiency. Moreover, the simulation results suggest that the pore boundary of Ce-MOFs has a strong waveguide effect on the incident PQD light, constraining PQD light inside the bodies of Ce-MOFs and suppressing reabsorption losses, thus increasing the overall light conversion efficiency of PQDs. Meanwhile, the Ce-MOF@SiO2 protective shell effectively improves the stability by blocking internally embedded PQDs from the harmful external environment. Further, the obtained white-light-emitting diode shows an ultrahigh luminous efficiency of 87.8 lm/W, which demonstrates their great potential in optoelectronic applications.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) materials constructed by the coordination chemistry of metal ions and organic ligands are important members of the crystalline materials family. Owing to their exceptional properties, for example, high porosity, tunable pore size, and large surface area, MOFs have been applied in several fields such as gas or liquid adsorbents, sensors, batteries, and supercapacitors. However, poor conductivity and low stability hamper their potential applications in several attractive fields such as energy and gas storage. The integration of MOFs with carbon nanotubes (CNTs), a well-established carbon allotrope that exhibits high conductivity and stability, has been proposed as an efficient strategy to overcome such limitations. By combining the advantages of MOFs and CNTs, a wide variety of composites can be prepared with properties superior to their parent materials. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the preparation of CNT@MOF composites and focuses on their recent applications in several important fields, such as water purification, gas storage and separation, sensing, electrocatalysis, and energy storage (supercapacitors and batteries). Future challenges and prospects for CNT@MOF composites are also discussed.

Abstract
![]()
In recent years,
metal halide perovskites (MHPs) for optoelectronic
applications have attracted the attention of the scientific community
due to their outstanding performance. The fundamental understanding
of their physicochemical properties is essential for improving their
efficiency and stability. Atomistic and molecular simulations have
played an essential role in the description of the optoelectronic
properties and dynamical behavior of MHPs, respectively. However,
the complex interplay of the dynamical and optoelectronic properties
in MHPs requires the simultaneous modeling of electrons and ions in
relatively large systems, which entails a high computational cost,
sometimes not affordable by the standard quantum mechanics methods,
such as density functional theory (DFT). Here, we explore the suitability
of the recently developed density functional tight binding method,
GFN1-xTB, for simulating MHPs with the aim of exploring an efficient
alternative to DFT. The performance of GFN1-xTB for computing structural,
vibrational, and optoelectronic properties of several MHPs is benchmarked
against experiments and DFT calculations. In general, this method
produces accurate predictions for many of the properties of the studied
MHPs, which are comparable to DFT and experiments. We also identify
further challenges in the computation of specific geometries and chemical
compositions. Nevertheless, we believe that the tunability of GFN1-xTB
offers opportunities to resolve these issues and we propose specific
strategies for the further refinement of the parameters, which will
turn this method into a powerful computational tool for the study
of MHPs and beyond.

Abstract
In recent years, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have attracted much attention because of their high energy conversion efficiency, low cost, and simple preparation process. Up to now, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of solar cells has been increased from 3.8% to 25.5%. Metal–organic skeleton-derived metal oxides and their composites (MOFs) are widely considered for application in PSCs due to their low and flat charge/discharge potential plateau, high capacity, and stable cycling performance. By combining MOFs and PSCs, based on the composition materials of perovskite film, electron transport layer, hole transport layer, and interfacial interlayer of PSCs, this article discusses the photovoltaic performance or structure optimization effect of MOFs in each function layer, which is of great significance to improve the photovoltaic performance of the cell. The problems faced by MOFs on perovskite solar cells are summarized, the next research directions are discussed, and the development of this crossover area of MOFs–PSC is foreseen to accelerate the comprehensive research and popularization of MOFs on PSCs.

Abstract
A water-stable thin film composed of C6H4NH2CuCl2I was fabricated using spin-coating precursor solutions that dissolved equimolar amounts of C6H4NH2I and CuCl2 in N,N-dimethylformamide. Photoelectrochemical characteristics show that the C6H4NH2CuCl2I film demonstrated a stable photocurrent (∼1 μA/cm2) in an aqueous solution under white light (11.5 mW/cm2) even after 3000 s, while exhibiting a photon-to-current efficiency of 0.093% under AM1.5 (100 mW/cm2) illumination. However, these values were significantly lower than those of the CH3NH3PbX3 (X = I, Cl) film in solid devices. The electron diffusion length L(e-) (373 nm) and hole diffusion length L(h+) (177 nm) in the C6H4NH2CuCl2I photoelectrode were significantly lower than those of CH3NH3PbX3, limiting the photoelectrochemical and photocatalysis performances. Moreover, L(h+) was shorter than L(e-) in the C6H4NH2CuCl2I photoelectrode, resulting in the hole-collecting efficiency [ηc(h+)] being lower than the electron-collecting efficiency [ηc(e-)]. A CuO interlayer was introduced as a hole transport layer for the C6H4NH2CuCl2I photoelectrode, which improved L(h+) and ηc(h+).

Abstract
Multiporous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as a subclass of highly crystalline inorganic-organic materials, which are endowed with high surface areas, tunable pores, and fascinating nanostructures. Heterostructured MOF-on-MOF composites are recently becoming a research hotspot in the field of chemistry and materials science, which focus on the assembly of two or more different homogeneous or heterogeneous MOFs with various structures and morphologies. Compared with one single MOF, the dual MOF-on-MOF composites exhibit unprecedented tunability, hierarchical nanostructure, synergistic effect, and enhanced performance. Due to the difference of inorganic metals and organic ligands, the lattice parameters in a, b, and c directions in the single crystal cells could bring about subtle or large structural difference. It will result in the composite material with distinct growth methods to obtain secondary MOF grown from the initial MOF. In this review, the authors wish to mainly outline the latest synthetic strategies of heterostructured MOF-on-MOFs and their derivatives, including ordered epitaxial growth, random epitaxial growth, etc., which show the tutorial guidelines for the further development of various MOF-on-MOFs.

NMR spectroscopy probes microstructure, dynamics and doping of metal halide perovskites. Nat Rev Chem 2021; 5:624-645.

Abstract
Solid-state magic-angle spinning NMR spectroscopy is a powerful technique to probe atomic-level microstructure and structural dynamics in metal halide perovskites. It can be used to measure dopant incorporation, phase segregation, halide mixing, decomposition pathways, passivation mechanisms, short-range and long-range dynamics, and other local properties. This Review describes practical aspects of recording solid-state NMR data on halide perovskites and how these afford unique insights into new compositions, dopants and passivation agents. We discuss the applicability, feasibility and limitations of 1H, 13C, 15N, 14N, 133Cs, 87Rb, 39K, 207Pb, 119Sn, 113Cd, 209Bi, 115In, 19F and 2H NMR in typical experimental scenarios. We highlight the pivotal complementary role of solid-state mechanosynthesis, which enables highly sensitive NMR studies by providing large quantities of high-purity materials of arbitrary complexity and of chemical shifts calculated using density functional theory. We examine the broader impact of solid-state NMR on materials research and how its evolution over seven decades has benefitted structural studies of contemporary materials such as halide perovskites. Finally, we summarize some of the open questions in perovskite optoelectronics that could be addressed using solid-state NMR. We, thereby, hope to stimulate wider use of this technique in materials and optoelectronics research.

Abstract
The development of synthetic routes to access stable, ultra-small (i.e. <5 nm) lead halide perovskite (LHP) quantum dots (QDs) is of fundamental and technological interest. The considerable challenges include the high solubility of the ionic LHPs in polar solvents and aggregation to form larger particles. Here, we demonstrate a simple and effective host-guest strategy for preparing ultra-small lead bromide perovskite QDs through the use of nano-sized MOFs that function as nucleating and host sites. Cr3O(OH)(H2O)2(terephthalate)3 (Cr-MIL-101), made of large mesopore-sized pseudo-spherical cages, allows fast and efficient diffusion of perovskite precursors within its pores, and promotes the formation of stable, ∼3 nm-wide lead bromide perovskite QDs. CsPbBr3, MAPbBr3 (MA+ = methylammonium), and (FA)PbBr3 (FA+ = formamidinium) QDs exhibit significantly blue-shifted emission maxima at 440 nm, 446 nm, and 450 nm, respectively, as expected for strongly confined perovskite QDs. Optical characterization and composite modelling confirm that the APbBr3 (A = Cs, MA, FA) QDs owe their stability within the MIL-101 nanocrystals to both short- and long-range interfacial interactions with the MOF pore walls.
