Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been extensively considered as one of the most promising types of porous and crystalline organic-inorganic materials, thanks to their large specific surface area, high porosity, tailorable structures and compositions, diverse functionalities, and well-controlled pore/size distribution. However, most developed MOFs are in powder forms, which still have some technical challenges, including abrasion, dustiness, low packing densities, clogging, mass/heat transfer limitation, environmental pollution, and mechanical instability during the packing process, that restrict their applicability in industrial applications. Therefore, in recent years, attention has focused on techniques to convert MOF powders into macroscopic materials like beads, membranes, monoliths, gel/sponges, and nanofibers to overcome these challenges.Three-dimensional (3D) printing technology has achieved much interest because it can produce many high-resolution macroscopic frameworks with complex shapes and geometries from digital models. Therefore, this review summarizes the combination of different 3D printing strategies with MOFs and MOF-based materials for fabricating 3D-printed MOF monoliths and their environmental applications, emphasizing water treatment and gas adsorption/separation applications. Herein, the various strategies for the fabrication of 3D-printed MOF monoliths, such as direct ink writing, seed-assisted in-situ growth, coordination replication from solid precursors, matrix incorporation, selective laser sintering, and digital light processing, are described with the relevant examples. Finally, future directions and challenges of 3D-printed MOF monoliths are also presented to better plan future trajectories in the shaping of MOF materials with improved control over the structure, composition, and textural properties of 3D-printed MOF monoliths.

Chen C, Luo X. Strategies to improve the ionic conductivity of quasi-solid-state electrolytes based on metal-organic frameworks. NANOTECHNOLOGY 2024; 35:362002. [PMID: 38810610 DOI: 10.1088/1361-6528/ad5188] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2024] [Accepted: 05/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/31/2024]
Abstract
The low ionic conductivity of quasi-solid-state electrolytes (QSSEs) at ambient temperature is a barrier to the development of solid-state batteries (SSBs). Conversely, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with porous structure and metal sites show great potential for the fabrication of QSSEs. Numerous studies have proven that the structure and functional groups of MOFs could significantly impact the ionic conductivity of QSSEs based on MOFs (MOFs-QSSEs). This review introduces the transport mechanism of lithium ions in various MOFs-QSSEs, and then analyses how to construct an effective and consistent lithium ions pathway from the perspective of MOFs modification. It is shown that the ion conductivity could be enhanced by modifying the morphology and functional groups, as well as applying amorphous MOFs. Lastly, some issues and future perspectives for MOFs-QSSEs are examined. The primary objective of this review is to enhance the comprehension of the mechanisms and performance optimization methods of MOFs-QSSEs. Consequently, this would guide the design and synthesis of QSSEs with high ionic conductivity, and ultimately enhance the performance of commercial SSBs.

Abstract
High-safety and high-energy-density solid-state lithium metal batteries (SSLMBs) attract tremendous interest in both academia and industry. Especially, composite polymer electrolytes (CPEs) can overcome the limitations of single-component solid-state electrolytes. In this work, a strategy of combining a rigid functional skeleton with a soft polymer electrolyte to prepare reinforced CPEs was adopted. The in situ grown zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) with three-dimensional cellulose fiber skeleton (ZIF-67@CF) and succinonitrile (SN) plasticizer into poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) together form ZIF-67@CF/PEO-SN CPEs. The addition of ZIF-67@CF and SN to PEO synergistically enhanced the physical and electrochemical properties of CPEs. Furthermore, the conduction mechanism of lithium-ion (Li+) in CPEs was studied using density functional theory. It is impressive that the ZIF-67@CF/PEO-SN CPEs at 30 °C exhibit a high ionic conductivity of 1.17 × 10-4 S cm-1, a competitive Li+ transference number of 0.40, a wide electrochemical window of 5.0 V, a notable tensile strength of 18.7 MPa, and superior lithium plating/stripping stability (>550 h at 0.1 mA cm2). Such favorable features endowed LiFePO4/(ZIF-67@CF/PEO-SN)/Li cell at 30 °C with a high discharging capacity (152.5 mA h g-1 at 0.2 C), a long cycling lifespan (>150 cycles with 99% capacity retention), and superior operating safety. This work provides insights and promotes the application of functionalized CPEs for SSLMBs.

Abstract
Solid-state lithium metal batteries (SSLMBs) show great promise in terms of high-energy-density and high-safety performance. However, there is an urgent need to address the compatibility of electrolytes with high-voltage cathodes/Li anodes, and to minimize the electrolyte thickness to achieve high-energy-density of SSLMBs. Herein, we develop an ultrathin (12.6 µm) asymmetric composite solid-state electrolyte with ultralight areal density (1.69 mg cm-2) for SSLMBs. The electrolyte combining a garnet (LLZO) layer and a metal organic framework (MOF) layer, which are fabricated on both sides of the polyethylene (PE) separator separately by tape casting. The PE separator endows the electrolyte with flexibility and excellent mechanical properties. The LLZO layer on the cathode side ensures high chemical stability at high voltage. The MOF layer on the anode side achieves a stable electric field and uniform Li flux, thus promoting uniform Li+ deposition. Thanks to the well-designed structure, the Li symmetric battery exhibits an ultralong cycle life (5000 h), and high-voltage SSLMBs achieve stable cycle performance. The assembled pouch cells provided a gravimetric/volume energy density of 344.0 Wh kg-1/773.1 Wh L-1. This simple operation allows for large-scale preparation, and the design concept of ultrathin asymmetric structure also reveals the future development direction of SSLMBs.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) and covalent organic framework (COF) are a huge group of advanced porous materials exhibiting attractive and tunable microstructural features, such as large surface area, tunable pore size, and functional surfaces, which have significant values in various application areas. The emerging 3D printing technology further provides MOF and COFs (M/COFs) with higher designability of their macrostructure and demonstrates large achievements in their performance by shaping them into advanced 3D monoliths. However, the currently available 3D printing M/COFs strategy faces a major challenge of severe destruction of M/COFs' microstructural features, both during and after 3D printing. It is envisioned that preserving the microstructure of M/COFs in the 3D-printed monolith will bring a great improvement to the related applications. In this overview, the 3D-printed M/COFs are categorized into M/COF-mixed monoliths and M/COF-covered monoliths. Their differences in the properties, applications, and current research states are discussed. The up-to-date advancements in paste/scaffold composition and printing/covering methods to preserve the superior M/COF microstructure during 3D printing are further discussed for the two types of 3D-printed M/COF. Throughout the analysis of the current states of 3D-printed M/COFs, the expected future research direction to achieve a highly preserved microstructure in the 3D monolith is proposed.

Abstract
Novel structural designs for metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are expected to improve ion-transport behavior in composite solid electrolytes. Herein, upper-dimensional MIL-53(Al) nanofibers (MNFs, MIL-53 belongs to the MIL (Material Institute Lavoisier) group) with flower-like nanoflake structures have been designed and constructed via modified hydrothermal coordination. The optimized MNFs with high surface area and porosity can form abundant interfaces with poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) matrix. The plasticization of MNFs to the PEO matrix will facilitate segmental movement of PEO chains to facilitate Li+ conduction. The unsaturated open metal centers of MNFs can effectively capture bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide anions (TFSI-) to deliver more free lithium ions for transfer. Moreover, the upper-dimensional nanofiber structure endows lithium ions with a long-range and consecutive transport pathway. The obtained composite solid electrolyte (MNFs@PEO) presents a high ionic conductivity of 4.1 × 10-4 S cm-1 and a great Li+ transference number of 0.4 at 60 °C. The electrolyte also exhibits a stable Li plating/stripping behavior over 1000 h at 0.1 mA cm-1 with inhibited Li dendrite growth. Furthermore, the Li/LiFePO4 and Li/LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 batteries with MNFs@PEO as electrolytes both display great cycling stabilities with high-capacity retention, indicating their potential applications in lithium metal batteries. The study will put forward new inspirations for designing advanced MOF-based composite solid electrolytes.

Abstract
Solid-state batteries (SSBs) are considered to be one of the most promising candidates for next-generation energy storage systems due to the high safety, high energy density and wide operating temperature range of solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) they use. Unfortunately, the practical application of SSEs has rarely been successful, which is largely attributed to the low chemical stability and ionic conductivity, ineluctable solid-solid interface issues including limited ion transport channels, high energy barriers, and poor interface contact. A comprehensive understanding of ion transport mechanisms of various SSEs, interactions between fillers and polymer matrixes and the role of the interface in SSBs are indispensable for rational design and performance optimization of novel electrolytes. The categories, research advances and ion transport mechanism of inorganic glass/ceramic electrolytes, polymer-based electrolytes and corresponding composite electrolytes are detailly summarized and discussed. Moreover, interface contact and compatibility between electrolyte and cathode/anode are also briefly discussed. Furthermore, the electrochemical characterization methods of SSEs used in different types of SSBs are also introduced. On this basis, the principles and prospects of novel SSEs and interface design are curtly proposed according to the development requirements of SSBs. Moreover, the advanced characterizations for real-time monitoring of interface changes are also brought forward to promote the development of SSBs.
