PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 317:124401. [PMID: 38703414 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2024.124401] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2024] [Revised: 04/11/2024] [Accepted: 04/30/2024] [Indexed: 05/06/2024]
Abstract
A transition metal coordination polymer (CP), [Cd(Hdpcp)]n (Cd-CP) was prepared based on 3-(2,4-dicarboxyphenyl)-6-carboxypyridine ligand (H3dpcp), and then its composite Eu@Cd-CP was synthesized by the post-modification through loading Eu3+ ions on Cd-CP. Eu@Cd-CP has outstanding fluorescence stability in aqueous solution with a wide range of pH. Furthermore, Eu@Cd-CP can distinguish sodium salicylate (SS) and sodium dehydroacetate (SA) in some food additives by quenching the characteristic fluorescence of Eu3+ ion. Eu@Cd-CP is the first known CP-based fluorescent probe for selective detection of SS and SA. In addition, the fluorescence mechanisms of discerning above analytes by Eu@Cd-CP have been thoroughly evaluated. It has found that synergistic effect of the dynamic process, photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process, energy absorption competition, and formation of Eu-O bonding interactions in sensing SA lead to the fluorescence quenching of Eu@Cd-CP. The fluorescence response mechanism of Eu@Cd-CP with SA is ascribed to the combination of the dynamic process, PET process, and energy absorption competition. A series of portable devices based on Eu@Cd-CP including fluorescence test strips, lamp beads, and composite films were developed to discern SS and SA via visual changes in luminescence color. This composite material can be potentially used as a multifunctional fluorescent probe for practical applications.

Abstract
Hierarchically porous materials containing sub-nm ultramicropores with molecular sieving abilities and microcavities with high gas diffusivity may realize energy-efficient membranes for gas separations. However, rationally designing and constructing such pores into large-area membranes enabling efficient H2 separations remains challenging. Here, we report the synthesis and utilization of hybrid carbon molecular sieve membranes with well-controlled nano- and micro-pores and single zinc atoms and clusters well-dispersed inside the nanopores via the carbonization of supramolecular mixed matrix materials containing amorphous and crystalline zeolitic imidazolate frameworks. Carbonization temperature is used to fine-tune pore sizes, achieving ultrahigh selectivity for H2/CO2 (130), H2/CH4 (2900), H2/N2 (880), and H2/C2H6 (7900) with stability against water vapor and physical aging during a continuous 120-h test.

Carbohydr Polym 2024; 335:122047. [PMID: 38616086 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2024.122047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2023] [Revised: 03/07/2024] [Accepted: 03/12/2024] [Indexed: 04/16/2024]
Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) particles are one of the most promising adsorbents for removing organic contaminants from wastewater. However, powder-type MOF particles face challenges in terms of utilization and recovery. In this study, a novel bead-type adsorbent was prepared using activated carbon based on the zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (AC-ZIF-8) and a regenerated cellulose hydrogel for dye removal. AC-ZIF-8 particles with a large surface area were obtained by carbonization and chemical activation with KOH. The AC-ZIF-8 powders were efficiently immobilized in hydrophilic cellulose hydrogel beads via cellulose dissolution/regeneration. The prepared AC-ZIF-8/cellulose hydrogel (AC-ZIF-8/CH) composite beads exhibit a large specific surface area of 1412.8 m2/g and an excellent maximum adsorption capacity of 565.13 mg/g for Rhodamine B (RhB). Moreover, the AC-ZIF-8/CH beads were effective over a wide range of pH, temperatures and for different types of dyes. These composite beads also offer economic benefits through desorption of dyes for recycling. The AC-ZIF-8/CH beads can be produced in substantial amounts and used as fillers in a fixed-bed column system, which can purify the continuous inflow of dye solutions. These findings suggest that our simple approach for preparing high-performance adsorbent beads will broaden the application of dye adsorbents, oil-water separation, and catalysts.

Abstract
The Stöber method is a widely-used sol-gel route for synthesizing amorphous SiO2 colloids and conformal coatings. However, the material systems compatible with this method are still limited. Herein, we have extended the approach to metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and coordination polymers (CPs) by mimicking the Stöber method. We introduce a general synthesis route to amorphous MOFs or CPs by making use of a base-vapor diffusion method, which allows to precisely control the growth kinetics. Twenty-four different amorphous CPs colloids were successfully synthesized by selecting 12 metal ions and 17 organic ligands. Moreover, by introducing functional nanoparticles (NPs), a conformal amorphous MOFs coating with controllable thickness can be grown on NPs to form core-shell colloids. The versatility of this amorphous coating technology was demonstrated by synthesizing over 100 core-shell composites from 20 amorphous CPs shells and over 30 different NPs. Besides, various multifunctional nanostructures, such as conformal yolk-amorphous MOF shell, core@metal oxides, and core@carbon, can be obtained through one-step transformation of the core@amorphous MOFs. This work significantly enriches the Stöber method and introduces a platform, enabling the systematic design of colloids exhibiting different level of functionality and complexity.

Abstract
The present study employed a solvothermal method utilizing triphenylphosphine and nickel acetylacetonate as precursors for phosphide preparation, followed by analysis and characterization. The Ni-MOF precursor was prepared using benzene diacid, triethylenediamine, and nickel sulfate as raw materials. Ni2P was introduced into the Ni-MOF precursor during its preparation while maintaining the synthesis conditions, allowing for the adsorption of Ni2P nanoparticles during Ni-MOF synthesis to produce Ni2P@MOF composite materials. The materials underwent individual testing for UV, magnetic, and microwave absorption properties. Magnetic testing results demonstrated that the incorporation of Ni2P led to an increase in the saturation magnetization (Ms) of Ni2P@MOFs compared to the Ni-MOF, thereby enhancing its electromagnetic loss capability. Microwave absorption property testing indicated that the Ni2P@MOFs exhibited enhanced dielectric and electromagnetic loss capabilities compared to the Ni-MOF, optimizing impedance matching properties and increasing effective absorption bandwidth compared to pure Ni2P materials.

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
Ammonia borane (AB) with 19.6 wt % H2 content is widely considered a safe and efficient medium for H2 storage and release. Co-based nanocatalysts present strong contenders for replacing precious metal-based catalysts in AB hydrolysis due to their high activity and cost-effectiveness. However, precisely adjusting the active centers and surface properties of Co-based nanomaterials to enhance their activity, as well as suppressing the migration and loss of metal atoms to improve their stability, presents many challenges. In this study, mesoporous-silica-confined bimetallic Co-Cu nanoparticles embedded in nitrogen-doped carbon (CoxCu1-x@NC@mSiO2) were synthesized using a facile mSiO2-confined thermal pyrolysis strategy. The obtained product, an optimized Co0.8Cu0.2@NC@mSiO2 catalyst, exhibits enhanced performance with a turnover frequency of 240.9 molH2 ⋅ molmetal ⋅ min-1 for AB hydrolysis at 298 K, surpassing most noble-metal-free catalysts. Moreover, Co0.8Cu0.2@NC@mSiO2 demonstrates magnetic recyclability and extraordinary stability, with a negligible decline of only 0.8 % over 30 cycles of use. This enhanced performance was attributed to the synergistic effect between Co and Cu, as well as silica confinement. This work proposes a promising method for constructing noble-metal-free catalysts for AB hydrolysis.

Abstract
It is deemed as a tough yet profound project to comprehensively cope with a range of detrimental problems of lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs), mainly pertaining to the shuttle effect of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) and sluggish sulfur conversion. Herein, a Co2P-Fe2P@N-doped carbon (Co2P-Fe2P@NC) Mott-Schottky catalyst is introduced to enable bidirectionally stimulated sulfur conversion. This catalyst is prepared by simple carbothermal reduction of spent LiFePO4 cathode and LiCoO2. The experimental and theoretical calculation results indicate that thanks to unique surface/interface properties derived from the Mott-Schottky effect, full anchoring of LiPSs, mediated Li2S nucleation/dissolution, and bidirectionally expedited "solid⇌liquid⇌solid" kinetics can be harvested. Consequently, the S/Co2P-Fe2P@NC manifests high reversible capacity (1569.9 mAh g-1), superb rate response (808.9 mAh g-1 at 3C), and stable cycling (a low decay rate of 0.06% within 600 cycles at 3C). Moreover, desirable capacity (5.35 mAh cm-2) and cycle stability are still available under high sulfur loadings (4-5 mg cm-2) and lean electrolyte (8 µL mg-1) conditions. Furthermore, the as-proposed universal synthetic route can be extended to the preparation of other catalysts such as Mn2P-Fe2P@NC from spent LiFePO4 and MnO2. This work unlocks the potential of carbothermal reduction phosphating to synthesize bidirectional catalysts for robust LSBs.

Abstract
The chemical/physical properties and reliable performance of nanoporous materials are strongly influenced by the particle size and corresponding distribution. Among many types of MOFs, ZIF-8, is still widely used and many studies have been conducted to control the particle size and uniformity of ZIF-8 using surfactants and organic solvents. However, the use of surfactants and organic solvents process is expensive and may cause environmental pollution. For the first time, in this paper, a surfactant-free, size-controllable, and scalable green synthesis method of ZIF-8 particles is reported using four reaction parameters (temperature, concentration, pouring time, and reactant ratio) that affect the formation of nuclei and growth of ZIF-8 crystals. The as-synthesized ZIF-8 nanoparticles show great uniformity and controllable particle sizes in the wide range of 147-915 nm. In addition, a 2 L large-scale synthesis of ZIF-8 with narrow size distribution is developed by finely tuned particle size in water without any additives. To demonstrate the efficient utilization of nanopores according to the particle size and size distribution, an adsorption test is conducted on the ZIF-8 nanoparticles. This study will support the synthesis of size-controlled ZIF-8 with narrow size distribution and their composites for achieving high performance in the emerging applications.

Sun M, Guo W, Zhang H, Zhang Q. Toward Ultrahigh-Rate Energy Storage of 3000 mV s -1 in Hollow Carbon: From Methodology to Surface-to-Bulk Synergy Insights. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024; 20:e2308453. [PMID: 38221691 DOI: 10.1002/smll.202308453] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2023] [Revised: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 01/16/2024]
Abstract
Despite great efforts on economical and functionalized carbon materials, their scalable applications are still restricted by the unsatisfying energy storage capability under high-rate conditions. Herein, theoretical and methodological insights for surface-to-bulk engineering of multi-heteroatom-doped hollow porous carbon (HDPC), with subtly designed Zn(OH)F nanoarrays as the template are presented. This fine-tuned HDPC delivers an ultrahigh-rate energy storage capability even at a scan rate of 3000 mV s-1 (fully charged within 0.34 s). It preserves a superior capacitance of 234 F g-1 at a super-large current density of 100 A g-1 and showcases an ultralong cycling life without capacitance decay after 50 000 cycles. Through dynamic and theoretical analysis, the key role of in situ surface-modified heteroatoms and defects in decreasing the K+-adsorption/diffusion energy barrier is clarified, which cooperates with the porous conductive highways toward enhanced surface-to-bulk activity and kinetics. In situ Raman aids in visualizing the reversibly dynamic adsorption/releasing of the electrolyte ions on the tailored carbon structure during the charge/discharge process. The potential of the design concept is further evidenced by the enhanced performances in water-in-salt electrolytes. This surface-to-bulk nanotechnology opens the path for developing high-performance energy materials to better meet the practical requirements in the future.

Abstract
A new and efficient technique is developed by combining the hyphenated microfluidic- and aerosol-based synthesis with the coupled differential mobility analysis for the effective and continuous synthesis and simultaneous analysis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)-derived hybrid nanostructured products. HKUST-1, a copper-based MOF, is chosen as the representative to fabricate Cu-based hybrid catalysts for reverse water-gas shift (RWGS) reaction, an effective route for CO2 utilization. The effect of precursor concentration and carrier selection on the properties of the resulting products, including mobility size distribution, crystallization degree, surface area, and metal dispersion are investigated, as well as the correlation between the material properties of the synthesized catalysts and their catalytic performance in RWGS reaction in terms of conversion ratio/rate, selectivity, and operational stability. The results indicate that the continuous microfluidic droplet system can successfully synthesize MOF colloids, followed by the continuous production of MOF-derived hybrid materials through the tandem aerosol spray-drying-reaction system. High catalytic activity and low initiate temperature toward RWGS (turnover frequency = 0.0074 s-1; 450 °C) are achievable. The work facilitates the production and the designed concept of relevant MOF-derived hybrid nanostructured catalysts in the continuous synthesis system and the enhancement of applications in CO2 capture and utilization.

Abstract
In the selective oxidation of H2S, the catalytic activity over N-doped carbon-based catalysts is significantly influenced by the accessibility of active sites and the mass transfer rates of reactant molecules (e.g., H2S and O2) as well as generated sulfur monomers. Therefore, it is crucial for enhancing the initial performance via the controlled synthesis of carbon-based catalysts with highly exposed active sites and unique porous structures. Herein, we reported on an efficient strategy to synthesize nanosized N-doped carbon particles with hierarchical porous structures by directly pyrolyzing an oversaturated NaCl-encapsulated ZIF-8 precursor mixture. The introduction of NaCl not only serves as a pollution-free template to promote the formation of graphitic carbon layers but also acts as an intercalating agent to guide the derivation of hierarchical porous structures, as well as enhances the amount of active nitrogen species in the catalysts. As a result, the as-prepared H-NC800 catalyst shows excellent H2S selective oxidation performance (sulfur formation rate is 794 gsulfur·kgcat-1·h-1), good stability (>80 h), and antiwater vapor properties. The characterization results and DFT calculations indicate the crucial role of pyridinic N in the adsorbing and activating reactant molecules (H2S, O2). Furthermore, nanoscale N-doped carbon particles accelerated the rapid transport of generated sulfur monomers under a hierarchical porous structure. This investigation introduces a distinctive strategy for synthesizing ZIF-8-derived N-doped carbon nanosized with a hierarchical porous structure, while its efficient and stable H2S selective oxidation performance highlights significant potential for practical implementation in the industrial desulfurization process.

Abstract
High emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) has caused CO2 levels to reach more than 400 ppm in air and led to a serious climate problem. In addition, in confined spaces such as submarines and aircraft, the CO2 concentration increase in the air caused by human respiration also affects human health. In order to protect the environment and human health, the search for high-performance adsorbents for carbon capture from high and low concentration gas is particularly important. Porous carbon materials, possessing the advantages of low cost and renewability, have set off a boom in the research of porous adsorbents, which have the opportunity to be utilized on a large scale for industrial carbon capture in the future. In this review, we summarize the recent research progress of porous carbons for carbon capture from flue gas and directly from air in the last five years, including activated carbon (AC), heteroatom-modified porous carbon, carbon molecular sieves (CMS), and other porous carbon materials, with a focus on the effects of temperature, water content, and gas flow rate of industrial flue gas on the performance of porous carbon adsorbents. We summarize the preparation strategies of various porous carbons and seek environmental friendly porous carbon materials preparation strategies under the premise of improving the CO2 adsorption capacity and selectivity of porous carbon adsorbents. Based on the effects of real industrial flue gas on adsorbents, we provide new ideas and evaluation methods for the development and preparation of porous carbon materials.

Abstract
Persulfate-based advanced oxidation processes (PS-AOPs) have gained significant attention as an effective approach for the elimination of emerging organic contaminants (EOCs) in water treatment. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and their derivatives are regarded as promising catalysts for activating peroxydisulfate (PDS) and peroxymonosulfate (PMS) due to their tunable and diverse structure and composition. By the rational nanoarchitectured design of MOF-derived nanomaterials, the excellent performance and customized functions can be achieved. However, the intrinsic fine powder form and agglomeration ability of MOF-derived nanomaterials have limited their practical engineering application. Recently, a great deal of effort has been put into shaping MOFs into macroscopic objects without sacrificing the performance. This review presents recent advances in the design and synthetic strategies of MOF-derived nano- and macroarchitectures for PS-AOPs to degrade EOCs. Firstly, the strategies of preparing MOF-derived diverse nanoarchitectures including hierarchically porous, hollow, yolk-shell, and multi-shell structures are comprehensively summarized. Subsequently, the approaches of manufacturing MOF-based macroarchitectures are introduced in detail. Moreover, the PS-AOP application and mechanisms of MOF-derived nano- and macromaterials as catalysts to eliminate EOCs are discussed. Finally, the prospects and challenges of MOF-derived materials in PS-AOPs are discussed. This work will hopefully guide the design and development of MOF-derived porous materials in SR-AOPs.

Abstract
Hollow nanoporous carbon architectures (HNCs) present significant utilitarian value for a wide variety of applications. Facile and efficient preparation of HNCs has long been pursued but still remains challenging. Herein, we for the first time demonstrate that single-component metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) crystals, rather than the widely reported hybrid ones which necessitate tedious operations for preparation, could enable the facile and versatile syntheses of functional HNCs. By controlling the growth kinetics, the MOFs crystals (STU-1) are readily engineered into different shapes with designated styles of crystalline inhomogeneity. A subsequent one-step pyrolysis of these MOFs with intraparticle difference can induce a simultaneous self-hollowing and carbonization process, thereby producing various functional HNCs including yolk-shell polyhedrons, hollow microspheres, mesoporous architectures, and superstructures. Superior to the existing methods, this synthetic strategy relies only on the complex nature of single-component MOFs crystals without involving tedious operations like coating, etching, or ligand exchange, making it convenient, efficient, and easy to scale up. An ultra-stable Na-ion battery anode is demonstrated by the HNCs with extraordinary cyclability (93 % capacity retention over 8000 cycles), highlighting a high level of functionality of the HNCs.

Abstract
The development of economical and efficient platinum-based catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is considered the most promising strategy for the widespread application of clean energy conversion devices. Herein, Co nanoparticles encapsulated in N-doped carbon carriers, CoCN(CDs-X), were constructed by pyrolyzing carbon dots (CDs) doped ZIF-67 and further used to anchor Pt to prepare low Pt loading catalysts, PtCoCN(CDs-X). The introduction of CDs not only improves the conductivity for efficient electron transfer, but also regulates the interaction between Pt and the CoCN(CDs-X) support and alleviates the oxidation of Pt. The optimized PtCoCN(CDs-0.10) displays decent ORR behavior with onset and half-wave potentials of 0.95 V and 0.83 V, respectively, in alkaline media and superior catalytic stability and methanol tolerance. While employing PtCoCN(CDs-0.10) as a cathode catalyst for an as-assembled zinc-air battery (ZAB), it delivers an excellent power density of 194.2 mW cm-2 and exceptional operation stability, which is indicated by a voltage efficiency loss of only 7.7% after a long cycle life of 100 h, demonstrating its great potential applications.

Abstract
Electrocatalyst engineering from the atomic to macroscopic level of electrocatalysts is one of the most powerful routes to boost the performance of electrochemical devices. However, multi-scale structure engineering mainly focuses on the range of atomic-to-particle scale such as hierarchical porosity engineering, while catalyst engineering at the macroscopic level, such as the arrangement configuration of nanoparticles, is often overlooked. Here, a 2D carbon polyhedron array with a multi-scale engineered structure via facile chemical etching, ice-templating induced self-assembly, and high-temperature pyrolysis processes is reported. Controlled phytic acid etching of the carbon precursor introduces homogeneous atomic phosphorous and nitrogen doping, as well as a well-defined mesoporous structure. Subsequent ice-templated self-assembly triggers the formation of a 2D particle array superstructure. The atomic-level doping gives rise to high intrinsic activity, while the well-engineered porous structure and particle arrangement addresses the mass transport limitations at the microscopic particle level and macroscopic electrode level. As a result, the as-prepared electrocatalyst delivers outstanding performance toward oxygen reduction reaction in both acidic and alkaline media, which is better than recently reported state-of-the-art metal-free electrocatalysts. Molecular dynamics simulation together with extensive characterizations indicate that the performance enhancement originates from multi-scale structural synergy.

Abstract
Freshwater depletion is an alarm for finding an eco-friendly solution to treat wastewater for drinking and domestic applications. Though several methods like chlorination, filtration, and coagulation-sedimentation are conventionally employed for water treatment, these methods need to be improved as they are not environmentally friendly, rely on chemicals, and are ineffective for all kinds of pollutants. These problems can be addressed by employing an alternative solution that is effective for efficient water treatment and favors commercial aspects. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs), an emerging porous material, possess high stability, pore size tunability, greater surface area, and active sites. These MOFs can be tailored; thus, they can be customized according to the target pollutant. Hence, MOFs can be employed as adsorbents that effectively target different pollutants. Bio-MOFs are a kind of MOFs that are incorporated with biomolecules, which also possess properties of MOFs and are used as a nontoxic adsorbent. In this review, we elaborate on the interaction between MOFs and target pollutants, the role of linkers in the adsorption of contaminants, tailoring strategy that can be employed on MOFs and Bio-MOFs to target specific pollutants, and we also highlight the effect of environmental matrices on adsorption of pollutants by MOFs.

Abstract
Carbon materials with unique sp2 -hybridization are extensively researched for catalytic applications due to their excellent conductivity and tunable physicochemical properties. However, the development of economic approaches to tailoring carbon materials into desired morphologies remains a challenge. Herein, a convenient "bottom-up" strategy by pyrolysis of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3 N4 ) (or other carbon/nitrogen (C, N)-enriched compounds) together with selected metal salts and molecules is reported for the construction of different carbon-based catalysts with tunable morphologies, including carbon nano-balls, carbon nanotubes, nitrogen/sulfur (S, N) doped-carbon nanosheets, and single-atom catalysts, supported by carbon layers. The catalysts are systematically investigated through various microscopic, spectroscopic, and diffraction methods and they demonstrate promising and broad applications in electrocatalysis such as in the oxygen reduction reaction and water splitting. Mechanistic monitoring of the synthesis process through online thermogravimetric-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry measurements indicates that the release of C─N-related moieties, such as dicyan, plays a key role in the growth of carbon products. This enables to successfully predict other widely available precursor compounds beyond g-C3 N4 such as caffeine, melamine, and urea. This work develops a novel and economic strategy to generate morphologically diverse carbon-based catalysts and provides new, essential insights into the growth mechanism of carbon nanomaterials syntheses.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), which are highly ordered structures exhibiting sub-nanometer porosity, possess significant potential for diverse gas applications. However, their inherent insulative properties limit their utility in electrochemical gas sensing. This investigation successfully modifies the electrical conductivity of zeolitic imidazolte framework-8 (ZIF-8) employing a straightforward surface oxidation methodology. A ZIF-8 polycrystalline layer is applied on a wafer-scale oxide substrate and subjects to thermal annealing at 300 °C under ambient air conditions, resulting in nanoscale oxide layers while preserving the fundamental properties of the ZIF-8. Subsequent exposure to NO2 instigates the evolution of an electrically interconnected structure with the formation of electron-rich dopants derived from the decomposition of nitrogen-rich organic linkers. The N-carbon-hybridized ZnO/ZIF-8 device demonstrates remarkable sensitivity (≈130 ppm-1 ) and extreme selectivity in NO2 gas detection with a lower detection limit of 0.63 ppb under 150 °C operating temperature, surpassing the performance of existing sensing materials. The exceptional performances result from the Debye length scale dimensionality of ZnO and the high affinity of ZIF-8 to NO2 . The methodology for manipulating MOF conductivity through surface oxidation holds the potential to accelerate the development of MOF-hybridized conductive channels for a variety of electrical applications.

Abstract
The electrosynthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) offers a sustainable and viable option for generating H2O2 directly, as an alternative to the anthraquinone oxidation method. This study focuses on the comparative study of Co nanoparticles and single-atomic Co sites (Co SACs) that were encapsulated into nitrogen-doped carbon for the electrosynthesis of H2O2, which has been synthesized by direct pyrolysis of Zn/Co-ZIF or Co-based zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIF-67). The electrochemical measurement results demonstrate that the coexistence of Co nanoparticles and single-atomic Co sites in the CoNC catalyst is more conducive for H2O2 production compared to Co SACs only, possessing better H2O2 selectivity of 73.3% and higher faradaic efficiency of 87%. The improved performance of CoNC with SACs can be attributed to the presence of additional Co nanoparticles in the nitrogen-doped carbon layers.

Abstract
The onstruction of novel porous carbon materials for efficient desalination is crucial but remains challenging for capacitive deionization (CDI) development. Herein, a micelle-assisted strategy was raised to coat mesoporous polydopamine (mPDA) on the surface of two-dimensional (2D) leaf-like zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFL) followed by confinement pyrolysis. The introduction of the mPDA layer can not only mitigate the backbone collapse of ZIFL during pyrolysis to build a favorable porous environment for efficient ion transport and diffusion, but also induce explosive growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to improve the electron conductivity. As expected, the derivative ZIFL@mPDA-C possessed a high desalination capacity of 41.9 mg g-1 in 500 mg L-1 NaCl solution at an operating voltage of 1.2 V. In particular, the retention ratio of the desalination capacity of ZIFL@mPDA-C was about 100 % after 50 consecutive adsorption-desorption cycles, while its leaf-like morphology and hierarchical pore structures were well preserved. This study highlights the importance of rationally designed structures and components for the performance breakthrough of carbon-based CDI electrode materials.

Enhanced peroxymonosulfate activation via heteroatomic doping defects of pyridinic and pyrrolic N in 2D N‑doped carbon nanosheets for BPA degradation. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 461:132626.

Abstract
Understanding the role of intrinsic defects and nonmetallic heteroatom doping defects in activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and subsequently degrading endocrine-disrupting compounds is crucial for designing more efficient carbon catalysts. Therefore, we synthesized N-rich carbon nanosheets (NCs) through pyrolysis of a glutamic acid and melamine mixture and utilized them to activate PMS for bisphenol A (BPA) degradation. Different weight ratios of the above mixtures were allowed for manipulating NCs' defect level and N configuration. The reaction rate constant (k) was significantly positively correlated with the pyridinic and pyrrolic N content, and negatively and weakly positively correlated with graphite N and intrinsic defects, respectively. These findings suggest pyridinic and pyrrolic N, rather than graphitic N and intrinsic defects, enhance PMS activation to generate reactive oxygen species (specifically O•-2 and 1O2) and oxidize BPA. The NC-activated PMS system with the highest N content (17.9 atom%) demonstrated a remarkably high k (0.127 min-1) using minimal concentrations of PMS (0.4 mM) and NC (0.15 g/L), highlighting the system's efficiency. Excess halide anions led to significantly increased k with only a limited formation of trichloromethane (disinfection byproducts) in presence of 100 mM Cl-. This study offers novel perspectives on identifying catalytic sites within N-doped carbonaceous materials.

Abstract
Rapid decrease in antibacterial efficacy of existing active packages is difficult to promisingly prevent microbial infection during the storage of perishable products. Here, we pioneered an advanced ZnO-doped hollow carbon-encapsulated curcumin (ZHC-Cur)-chitosan (CS) slow-release film (ZHC-Cur-CS) with "nano-barricade" structure through demand-oriented tailoring of the structure and components of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) carrier. Such an exquisite structure realized the effective sustained release of Curcumin through the dual complexity of diffusion pathway by the disordered hierarchical pore structure and steric hindrance. Prepared ZHC-Cur-CS film exhibited boosting bactericidal and antioxidant abilities by virtue of the functional synergy between curcumin and ZnO. Thus, ZHC-Cur-CS film demonstrated excellent preservation performance by significantly prolonging the shelf life of Citrus (∼2.4 times). Furthermore, the upgraded mechanical strength, improved barrier ability, and proven safety laid the foundation for its practical application. These satisfactory properties underscore the applicability of ZHC-Cur-CS film for the efficient preservation of perishable products.

Abstract
Tuning the coordination structures of metal sites is intensively studied to improve the performances of single-atom site catalysts (SASC). However, the pore structure of SASC, which is highly related to the accessibility of active sites, has received little attention. In this work, single-atom ZnN4 sites embedded in P-functionalized carbon with hollow-wall and 3D ordered macroporous structure (denoted as H-3DOM-ZnN4 /P-C) are constructed. The creation of hollow walls in ordered macroporous structures can largely increase the external surface area to expose more active sites. The introduction of adjacent P atoms can optimize the electronic structure of ZnN4 sites through long-rang regulation to enhance the intrinsic activity and selectivity. In the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction, H-3DOM-ZnN4 /P-C exhibits high CO Faradaic efficiency over 90% in a wide potential window (500 mV) and a large turnover frequency up to 7.8 × 104 h-1 at -1.0 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode, much higher than its counterparts without the hierarchically ordered structure or P-functionalization.

Abstract
Despite great efforts on economical and functionalized carbon materials, their scalable applications are still restricted by the unsatisfying energy storage capability under high-rate conditions. Herein, theoretical and methodological insights for surface-to-bulk engineering of multi-heteroatom-doped hollow porous carbon (HDPC) is presented, with subtly designed Zn(OH)F nanoarrays as the template. This fine-tuned HDPC delivers an ultrahigh-rate energy storage capability even at a scan rate of 3000 mV s-1 (fully charged within 0.34 s). It preserves a superior capacitance of 234 F g-1 at a super-large current density of 100 A g-1 and showcases an ultralong cycling life without capacitance decay after 50 000 cycles. Through dynamic and theoretical analysis, the key role of in situ surface-modified heteroatoms and defects in decreasing the K+ -adsorption/diffusion energy barrier is clarified, which cooperates with the porous conductive highways toward enhanced surface-to-bulk activity and kinetics. In situ Raman further aids in visualizing the reversibly dynamic adsorption/releasing of the electrolyte ions on the tailored carbon structure during the charge/discharge process. The potential of the design concept is further evidenced by the enhanced performances in water-in-salt electrolytes. This surface-to-bulk nanotechnology opens the path for developing high-performance energy materials to better meet the practical requirements in future.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline materials with permanent pores constructed by the self-assembly of organic ligands and metal clusters through coordination bonds. Due to their diversity and tunability, MOFs are used as precursors to be converted into other types of functional materials by pyrolytic recrystallization. Laser-induced synthesis is proven to be a powerful pyrolytic processing technique with fast and accurate laser irradiation, low loss, high efficiency, selectivity, and programmability, which endow MOF derivatives with new features. Laser-induced MOF derivatives exhibit high versatility in multidisciplinary research fields. In this review, first, the basic principles of laser smelting and the types of materials for laser preparation of MOF derivatives are briefly introduced. Subsequently, it is focused on the peculiarity of the engineering of structural defects and their applications in catalysis, environmental protection, and energy fields. Finally, the challenges and opportunities at the current stage are highlighted with the aim of elucidating the future direction of the rapidly growing field of laser-induced synthesis of MOF derivatives.

Abstract
Carbon nitride materials (CN) have become one of the most studied photocatalysts within the last 15 years. While CN absorbs visible light, its low porosity and fast electron-hole recombination hinder its photoelectric performance and have motivated the research in the modification of its physical and chemical properties (such as energy band structure, porosity, or chemical composition) by different means. In this Concept we review the utilization of supramolecular crystals as CN precursors to tailor its properties. We elaborate on the features needed in a supramolecular crystal to serve as CN precursor, we delve on the influence of metal-free crystals in the morphology and porosity of the resulting materials and then discuss the formation of single atoms and heterojunctions when employing a metal-organic crystal. We finally discuss the performance of CN photoanodes derived from crystals and highlight the current standing challenges in the field.

Abstract
With the urgent demand for the achievement of carbon neutrality, novel nanomaterials, and environmentally friendly nanotechnologies are constantly being explored and continue to drive the sustainable development of energy storage and conversion installations. Among various candidate materials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and their derivatives with unique nanostructures have attracted increasing attention and intensive investigation for the construction of next generation electrode materials, benefitting from their unique intrinsic characteristics such as large specific surface area, high porosity, and chemical tunability as well as the interconnected channels. Nevertheless, the poor electrochemical conductivity severely limits their application prospects, hence a variety of nanocomposites with multifarious structures have been designed and proposed from different dimensionalities. In this review, recent advances based on MOFs and their derivatives in different dimensionalities ranging from 1D nanopowders to 2D nanofilms and 3D aerogels, as well as 4D self-supporting electrodes for supercapacitors are summarized and highlighted. Furthermore, the key challenges and perspectives of MOFs and their derivatives-based materials for the practical and sustainable electrochemical energy conversion and storage applications are also briefly discussed, which may be served as a guideline for the design of next-generation electrode materials from different dimensionalities.

[PMID: 37834703 PMCID: PMC10573919 DOI: 10.3390/ma16196566] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2023] [Revised: 09/28/2023] [Accepted: 10/03/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023]
Abstract
Carbon xerogels (CXs) are materials obtained via the pyrolysis of resins prepared via the sol-gel polycondensation of resorcinol and formaldehyde. These materials attract great attention as adsorbents, catalyst supports, and energy storage materials. One of the most interesting features of CXs is the possibility of fine-tuning their structures and textures by changing the synthesis conditions in the sol-gel stage. Thus, the first part of this review is devoted to the processes taking place in the polycondensation stage of organic precursors. The formation of hydroxymethyl derivatives of resorcinol and their polycondensation take place at this stage. Both of these processes are catalyzed by acids or bases. It is revealed that the sol-gel synthesis conditions, such as pH, the formaldehyde/resorcinol ratio, concentration, and the type of basic modifier, all affect the texture of the materials being prepared. The variation in these parameters allows one to obtain CXs with pore sizes ranging from 2-3 nm to 100-200 nm. The possibility of using other precursors for the preparation of organic aerogels is examined as well. For instance, if phenol is used instead of resorcinol, the capabilities of the sol-gel method become rather limited. At the same time, other phenolic compounds can be applied with great efficiency. The methods of gel drying and the pyrolysis conditions are also reviewed. Another important aspect analyzed within this review is the surface modification of CXs by introducing various functional groups and heteroatoms. It is shown that compounds containing nitrogen, sulfur, boron, or phosphorus can be introduced at the polycondensation stage to incorporate these elements into the gel structure. Thus, the highest surface amount of nitrogen (6-11 at%) was achieved in the case of the polycondensation of formaldehyde with melamine and hydroxyaniline. Finally, the methods of preparing metal-doped CXs are overviewed. Special attention is paid to the introduction of a metal precursor in the gelation step. The elements of the iron subgroup (Fe, Ni, Co) were found to catalyze carbon graphitization. Therefore, their introduction can be useful for enhancing the electrochemical properties of CXs. However, since the metal surface is often covered by carbon, such materials are poorly applicable to conventional catalytic processes. In summary, the applications of CXs and metal-doped CXs are briefly mentioned. Among the promising application areas, Li-ion batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells, and adsorbents are of special interest.

Abstract
Porous carbon materials are suitable as highly efficient adsorbents for the treatment of organic pollutants in wastewater. In this study, we developed multiscale porous and heteroatom (O, N)-doped activated carbon aerogels (CAs) based on mesoporous zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) nanocrystals and wood using 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) oxidation, in situ synthesis, and carbonization/activation. The surface carboxyl groups in a TEMPO-oxidized wood (TW) can provide considerably large nucleation sites for ZIF-8. Consequently, ZIF-8, with excellent porosity, was successfully loaded into the TW via in situ growth to enhance the specific surface area and enable heteroatom doping. Thereafter, the ZIF-8-loaded TW was subjected to a direct carbonization/activation process, and the obtained activated CA, denoted as ZIF-8/TW-CA, exhibited a highly interconnected porous structure containing multiscale (micro, meso, and macro) pores. Additionally, the resultant ZIF-8/TW-CA exhibited a low density, high specific surface area, and excellent organic dye adsorption capacity of 56.0 mg cm-3, 785.8 m2 g-1, and 169.4 mg g-1, respectively. Given its sustainable, scalable, and low-cost wood platform, the proposed high-performance CA is expected to enable the substantial expansion of strategies for environmental protection, energy storage, and catalysis.

Abstract
Zinc anode-based aqueous batteries have attracted considerable interest for large-scale energy storage and wearable devices. Unfortunately, the formation of Zn dendrite, parasitic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), and irreversible by-products, seriously restrict their practical applications. Herein, a series of compact and uniform metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) films with precisely controlled thickness (150-600 nm) are constructed by a pre-oxide gas deposition (POGD) method on Zn foil. Under the protection of MOF layer with optimum thickness, the corrosion of zinc, the side reaction of hydrogen evolution, and the growth of dendrites on the zinc surface are suppressed. The symmetric cell based on Zn@ZIF-8 anode exhibits exceptional cyclicality for over 1100 h with low voltage hysteresis of≈38 mV at 1 mA cm-2 . Even at current densities of 50 mA cm-2 with an area capacity of 50 mAh cm-2 (85% Zn utilization), the electrode can keep cycling for >100 h. Besides, this Zn@ZIF-8 anode also delivers a high average CE of 99.4% at 1 mA cm-2 . Moreover, a rechargeable Zn ion battery is fabricated based on the Zn@ZIF-8 anode and MnO2 cathode, which presents an exceptionally long lifespan with no capacity attenuation for 1000 cycles.

Abstract
Cobalt 2-methylimidazole (ZIF-67) have abundant nitrogen and cobalt elements, which can be used as an excellent precursor for catalyst synthesis. In this study, a new Co, N co-doped carbon-based catalyst (Co-N-BC) was synthesized from ZIF-67 and biochar, which can significantly improve the degradation of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) in catalytic ozonation. The mineralization rate of 4-NP achieves 65.8% within 60 min. The catalyst showed high recycling stability in the four cycles of reuse experiment. Different operating parameters, such as solution pH, the concentration of O3 and 4-NP, have been studied in the Co-N-BC catalytic ozonation. O3, O2-· and ·OH are determined as the main reactive species for 4-NP degradation, and ·OH is especially responsibly for 4-NP mineralization. The existence of inorganic ions, such as Cl-, NO2-, CO32- and PO43-, all significantly inhibited the degradation of 4-NP to different extend, respectively. The effect of substituent on a series of organics with similar structure of 4-NP was also investigated in Co-N-BC catalytic ozonation. This study provides a new composite material for heterogeneous catalytic ozonation, which is very promising in 4-NP contained complex wastewater treatment.

Abstract
To meet the energy demand of modern civilization, efforts to find renewable, safe, and highly effective fuel generation are still a big challenge. The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is one of many modern technologies for hydrogen generation, and a number of new electrode materials have been created to increase the effectiveness of O2 evolution. This project utilizes a range of high performance nanomaterials, such as Pr-MOF, Fe2O3, and Pr-MOF/Fe2O3, to carry out the oxygen evolution reaction. This study shows that Pr-MOF/Fe2O3 exhibits exceptional electrocatalytic activity in alkaline solution with 238 mV overpotential at the current density of 10 mA cm-2 and a Tafel slope of 37 mV dec-1 which is much lower when compared to pure Pr-MOF and Fe2O3. The enhanced electrochemical results are due to the higher electrochemical surface area of 237 cm2. This work will lay the foundation for an approach to enhance the crystalline nature of surface-active nanoparticles made from rare earth MOFs for a range of electrochemical energy applications.

Abstract
This study experimentally explores the energetics for the formation of boron-imidazolate frameworks (BIFs), which are synthesized by mechanochemistry. The topologically similar frameworks employ the same tetratopic linker based on tetrakis(imidazolyl)boric acid but differ in the monovalent cation metal nodes. This permits assessment of the stabilizing effect of metal nodes in frameworks with sodalite (SOD) and diamondoid (dia) topologies. The enthalpy of formation from endmembers (metal oxide and linker), which define thermodynamic stability of the structures, has been determined by use of acid solution calorimetry. The results show that heavier metal atoms in the node promote greater energetic stabilization of denser structures. Overall, in BIFs the relation between cation descriptors (ionic radius and electronegativity) and thermodynamic stability depends on framework topology. Thermodynamic stability increases with the metallic character of the cation employed as the metal node, independent of the framework topology. The results suggest unifying aspects for thermodynamic stabilization across MOF systems.

Abstract
Sodium-ion hybrid capacitors (SIHCs) in principle can utilize the advantages of batteries and supercapacitors and satisfy the cost demand of large-scale energy storage systems, but the sluggish kinetics and low capacities of its anode and cathode are yet to be overcome. Here, a strategy is reported to realize high-performance dual-carbon SIHCs using 3D porous graphitic carbon cathode and anode materials derived from metal-azolate framework-6s (MAF-6s). First, MAF-6s, with or without urea loading, are pyrolyzed to synthesize MAF-derived carbons (MDCs). Then, cathode materials are synthesized via the controlled KOH-assisted pyrolysis of MDCs (K-MDCs). K-MDCs, 3D graphitic carbons, resulting in a record-high surface area (5214 m2 g-1 ) being ≈four-fold higher than pristine MAF-6, oxygen-doped sites for high capacity, rich mesopores affording fast ion transport, and high capacity retention over 5000 charge/discharge cycles. Moreover, 3D porous MDC anode materials are synthesized from N-containing MAF-6 and exhibited to allow cycle stability over 5000 cycles. Furthermore, dual-carbon MDC//K-MDC SIHCs with different loadings (3 to 6 mg cm-2 ) are demonstrated to achieve high energy densities exceeding those of sodium-ion batteries and supercapacitors. Additionally, it allows an ultrafast-chargeable high power density of 20000 W kg-1 and robust cycle stability overcoming those of a typical battery.

Machine-learning-assisted material discovery of oxygen-rich highly porous carbon active materials for aqueous supercapacitors. Nat Commun 2023; 14:4607. [PMID: 37528075 PMCID: PMC10393944 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-023-40282-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2022] [Accepted: 07/18/2023] [Indexed: 08/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Porous carbons are the active materials of choice for supercapacitor applications because of their power capability, long-term cycle stability, and wide operating temperatures. However, the development of carbon active materials with improved physicochemical and electrochemical properties is generally carried out via time-consuming and cost-ineffective experimental processes. In this regard, machine-learning technology provides a data-driven approach to examine previously reported research works to find the critical features for developing ideal carbon materials for supercapacitors. Here, we report the design of a machine-learning-derived activation strategy that uses sodium amide and cross-linked polymer precursors to synthesize highly porous carbons (i.e., with specific surface areas > 4000 m2/g). Tuning the pore size and oxygen content of the carbonaceous materials, we report a highly porous carbon-base electrode with 0.7 mg/cm2 of electrode mass loading that exhibits a high specific capacitance of 610 F/g in 1 M H2SO4. This result approaches the specific capacitance of a porous carbon electrode predicted by the machine learning approach. We also investigate the charge storage mechanism and electrolyte transport properties via step potential electrochemical spectroscopy and quasielastic neutron scattering measurements.

Abstract
A new strategy to prepare copper (Cu) nanoparticles anchored in nitrogen-doped carbon nanosheets (Cu@CN) has been designed and the nanomaterial applied to the determination of paraquat (PQ). The nanocomposite materials were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and several other techniques. We found that the Cu nanoparticles are uniformly distributed on the carbon materials, providing abundant active sites for electrochemical detection. The electrochemical behavior of the Cu@CN-based PQ sensor was investigated by square-wave voltammetry (SWV). Cu@CN exhibited excellent electrochemical activity and PQ detection performance. The Cu@CN-modified glassy carbon electrode (Cu@CN/GCE) exhibited excellent stability, favorable sensitivity, and high selectivity under optimized conditions (enrichment voltage -0.1 V and enrichment time 400 s) of the SWV test. The detection range reached 0.50 nM to 12.00 μM, and the limit of detection was 0.43 nM with high sensitivity of 18 μA·μM-1·cm-2. The detection limit is 9 times better than that of the high-performance liquid chromatography method. The Cu@CN electrochemical sensor demonstrated excellent sensitivity and selectivity also in environmental water and fruit samples enabling its use in practical, rapid trace-level detection of PQ in environmental samples.

Abstract
Materials derived from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have demonstrated exceptional structural variety and complexity and can be synthesized using low-cost scalable methods. Although the inherent instability and low electrical conductivity of MOFs are largely responsible for their low uptake for catalysis and energy storage, a superior alternative is MOF-derived metal-based derivatives (MDs) as these can retain the complex nanostructures of MOFs while exhibiting stability and electrical conductivities of several orders of magnitude higher. The present work comprehensively reviews MDs in terms of synthesis and their nanostructural design, including oxides, sulfides, phosphides, nitrides, carbides, transition metals, and other minor species. The focal point of the approach is the identification and rationalization of the design parameters that lead to the generation of optimal compositions, structures, nanostructures, and resultant performance parameters. The aim of this approach is to provide an inclusive platform for the strategies to design and process these materials for specific applications. This work is complemented by detailed figures that both summarize the design and processing approaches that have been reported and indicate potential trajectories for development. The work is also supported by comprehensive and up-to-date tabular coverage of the reported studies.

Abstract
The controlled pyrolysis of metal/carbon-containing precursors is commonly used for fabricating multifunctional metal/carbon-based catalysts, nevertheless, the inevitable agglomeration of these precursors in pyrolysis is extremely negative for efficient catalysis. This study reports the first example of suppressing the interfacial fusion and agglomeration of metal/carbon-based catalyst in its pyrolysis-involved fabrication process by developing a facile morphology-engineering strategy. Metal-organic framework precursors are chosen as a proof of concept and five Co/N-doped hollow carbons with different morphologies (rhombic dodecahedron, cube, plate, interpenetration twin, and rod) are synthesized via the pyrolysis of their corresponding core-shell ZIF-8@ZIF-67 precursors. It is demonstrated that the interpenetration twin precursor shows the minimum interfacial contact of interparticles due to its partly-concave morphology with abundant facets, which endows it with the best resistibility from interfacial fusion and thus aggregation of interparticles during pyrolysis. Benefiting from its unique anti-aggregated structure with high specific surface area, abundant fully-exposed active sites, and good dispersibility, the resultant 36-facet Co/N-doped hollow carbon exhibit remarkably improved catalytic property for biomass upgrading as compared with its aggregated counterparts. This study highlights the crucial role of engineering morphology to prevent metal/carbon-containing precursors from detrimental agglomeration during pyrolysis, demonstrating a new approach to constructing anti-aggregated metal/carbon-based catalysts.

Abstract
Guiding metal organic framework (MOF) morphology, especially without the need for chemical additives, still remains a challenge. For the first time, we report a unique surface guiding approach in controlling the crystal morphology formation of zeolitic imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8) and HKUST-1 MOFs on disrupted alkanethiol self-assembled monolayer (SAM)-covered Au substrates. Selective molecule removal is applied to generate diverse SAM matrices rich in artificial molecular defects in a monolayer to direct the dynamic crystal growth process. When a 11-mercaptoundecanol alkanethiol monolayer is ruptured, the hydroxyl tail groups of surface residue molecules act as nucleating sites by coordination with precursor metal ions. Meanwhile, the exposed alkane chain backbones stabilize a particular facet of MOF nuclei in the dynamic growth by slowing down their crystal growth rates along a specific direction. The competitive formation between the [110] and [100] planes of ZIF-8 ultimately regulates the crystal shapes from rhombic dodecahedron, truncated rhombic dodecahedron, and truncated cube to cube. Similarly, changeable morphologies of HKUST-1 crystals are also achieved from cube and tetrakaidekahedron to octahedron, originating from the competitive selection between the [100] and [111] planes. In addition to the artificial matrix preferred orientation of initial nucleation, parameters such as temperature also play a crucial role in the resulting crystal morphology. Standing on the additive-free MOF crystal morphology growth control, porous architectures prepared in this approach can act as templates for ligand-free metal (Au, Ag, and Cu) nanocluster synthesis. The nanocluster-embedded MOF structures represent distinct crystal morphology-dependent optical properties, and interestingly, their fluorescence emission can be highly enhanced by facet-induced nanocluster packing alignments. These findings not only provide a unique thought on MOF crystal morphology guidance but also pave a new route for the accompanied property investigation and further application.

Abstract
Carbon-supported nanoparticles are indispensable to enabling new energy technologies such as metal-air batteries and catalytic water splitting. However, achieving ultrasmall and high-density nanoparticles (optimal catalysts) faces fundamental challenges of their strong tendency toward coarsening and agglomeration. Herein, we report a general and efficient synthesis of high-density and ultrasmall nanoparticles uniformly dispersed on two-dimensional porous carbon. This is achieved through direct carbothermal shock pyrolysis of metal-ligand precursors in just ~100 ms, the fastest among reported syntheses. Our results show that the in situ metal-ligand coordination (e.g., N → Co2+) and local ordering during millisecond-scale pyrolysis play a crucial role in kinetically dominated fabrication and stabilization of high-density nanoparticles on two-dimensional porous carbon films. The as-obtained samples exhibit excellent activity and stability as bifunctional catalysts in oxygen redox reactions. Considering the huge flexibility in coordinated precursors design, diversified single and multielement nanoparticles (M = Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Cr, Mn, Ag, etc) were generally fabricated, even in systems well beyond traditional crystalline coordination chemistry. Our method allows for the transient and general synthesis of well-dispersed nanoparticles with great simplicity and versatility for various application schemes.

Abstract
Conventional synthetic strategies do not allow one to impart structural anisotropy into porous carbons, thus leading to limited control over their textural properties. While structural anisotropy alters the mechanical properties of materials, it also introduces an additional degree of directionality to increase the pore connectivity and thus the flux in the designed direction. Accordingly, in this work the structure of porous carbons prepared from resorcinol-formaldehyde gels has been rendered anisotropic by integrating superparamagnetic colloids to the sol-gel precursor solution and by applying a uniform magnetic field during the sol-gel transition, which enables the self-assembly of magnetic colloids into chainlike structures to template the growth of the gel phase. Notably, the anisotropic pore structure is maintained upon pyrolysis of the gel, leading to hierarchically porous carbon monoliths with tunable structure and porosities. With an advantage granted to anisotropic materials, these porous carbons showed higher porosity, a higher CO2 uptake capacity of 3.45 mmol g-1 at 273 K at 1.1 bar, and faster adsorption kinetics compared to the ones synthesized in the absence of magnetic field. Moreover, these materials were also used as magnetic sorbents with fast adsorption kinetics for efficient oil-spill cleanup and retrieved easily by using an external magnetic field.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generators are sparking breakthroughs in sensitization and treatment of therapy-resistant tumors, yet the efficacy is drastically compromised by limited substrate concentrations, short lifetimes of free radicals, and restricted oxidative damage. Herein, a flower-like nanozyme with highly permeable leaflets accommodating catalytic metal sites was developed to address the challenges by boosting substrate and product accessibility. In the formation of a zeolite imidazole framework, cobalt ions promoted catalytic polymerization and deposition of polydopamine. The polymers acted as a stiffener for preventing framework collapse and maneuvering pore reopening during carbonization. The cobalt single-atom/cluster sites in the highly porous matrix generated peroxidase/oxidase-like activities with high catalytic efficiency (Kcat/Km) up to 6 orders of magnitude greater than that of conventional nano-/biozymes. Thereby, a robust ROS storm induced by selective catalysis led to rapid accumulation of oxidative damage and failure of antioxidant and antiapoptotic defense synchronization in drug-resistant cancer cells. By synergy of a redox homeostasis disrupter co-delivered, a significantly high antitumor efficiency was realized in vivo. This work offers a route to kinetically favorable ROS generators for advancing the treatment of therapy-resistant tumors.

Abstract
The menace posed by antibiotic contamination to humanity has increased due to the absence of efficient antibiotic removal processes in the conventional waste water treatment methods from the hospitals, households, animal husbandry, and pharma industry. Importantly, only a few commercially available adsorbents are magnetic, porous, and have the ability to selectively bind and separate various classes of antibiotics from the slurries. Herein, we report the synthesis of a coral-like Co@Co3O4/C nanohybrid for the remediation of three different classes of antibiotics - quinolone, tetracycline, and sulphonamide. The coral like Co@Co3O4/C materials are synthesized via a facile room temperature wet chemical method followed by annealing in a controlled atmosphere. The materials demonstrate an attractive porous structure with an excellent surface-to-mass ratio of 554.8 m2 g-1 alongside superior magnetic responses. A time-varying adsorption study of aqueous nalidixic acid solution on Co@Co3O4/C nanohybrids indicates that these coral-like Co@Co3O4/C nanohybrids could achieve a high removal efficiency of 99.98% at pH 6 in 120 min. The adsorption kinetics data of Co@Co3O4/C nanohybrids follow a pseudo-second-order reaction kinetics suggesting a chemisorption effect. The adsorbent has also shown its merit in reusability for four adsorption-desorption cycles without showing significant change in the removal efficiency. More in-depth studies validate that the excellent adsorption capability of Co@Co3O4/C adsorbent attributing to the electrostatic and π-π interaction between adsorbent and various antibiotics. Concisely, the adsorbent manifests the potential for the removal of a wide range of antibiotics from the water alongside showing their utility in the hassle-free magnetic separation.
