Abstract
ConspectusMetal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising for various applications through the creation of innovative materials and assemblies. This potential stems from their modular nature, as diverse metal ions and organic linkers can be combined to produce MOFs with unique chemical properties and lattice structures. Following extensive research on the design and postsynthetic chemical modification of MOF lattices at the molecular level, increasing attention is now focused on the next hierarchical level: controlling the morphology of MOF crystals and their subsequent assembly and positioning to create functional composites.Beyond well-established methods to regulate crystal size and shape through nucleation and coordination modulation, physicochemical techniques leveraging wetting effects, interparticle interactions, and magnetic or electric fields offer attractive avenues for the hierarchical structuring and assembly of MOFs. These techniques facilitate crystal alignment and yield unique superstructures. While our research group primarily focuses on directing MOF crystal orientation and positioning using external stimuli such as magnetic and electric fields, we also explore hierarchical MOF synthesis and structuring using liquid interfaces and depletion force-assisted packing.This account highlights our journey and progress in developing methods to regulate the morphology, assembly, orientation, and positioning of MOF crystals, placed in the context of work by other groups. First, we examine commonly utilized structuring methods for MOF crystals that employ liquid-liquid and air-liquid interfaces to spatially confine reactions, allowing us to access unique morphologies such as mushroom-like crystals and Janus particles. We also discuss strategies for concentrating and packing MOF crystals into superstructures, utilizing fluid interfaces for spatial confinement of crystals, depletion forces, entropic effects, and crystal sedimentation.A particularly compelling challenge in expanding the applicability of MOF materials is how to manipulate free-standing MOF crystals. This issue is especially important because MOFs are typically produced as loose powders, and industrial material processing is generally more efficient when the material is fluidized. While extensive research has been conducted regarding MOF growth on substrates with both positional and orientational control, there is a clear need for similar precision with free-standing MOFs dispersed in a fluid matrix. Our group has thus focused on the relatively new, yet powerful approach of using electric and magnetic fields to manipulate MOF crystals, which offers unprecedented control over the orientation and positioning of dispersed MOF crystals, complementing the more well-established methods of MOF growth on substrates. In this Account, we provide foundational background and discussions on the interactions between these external fields and MOF crystals, including critical considerations for effective MOF manipulation using such techniques. We also discuss their unique advantages and applications, and briefly examine potential application areas, such as photonics, smart materials like soft robotics and absorbents, and sensing. This Account highlights the promising potential of well-organized and aligned MOF crystals over randomly oriented ones in various applications, owing to enhanced selectivity and performance. It underscores the importance of specialized assembly methods to advance materials science and engineering, encouraging the reader to explore such approaches.

Abstract
The design of cheap, noble-metal-free, and efficient electrocatalysts for an enhanced hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) to produce hydrogen gas as an energy source from water splitting is an ideal approach. Herein, we report the synthesis of Fe2O3 nanorods-NiFe2O4 nanoparticles on cotton fiber cloth (Fe2O3-NiFe2O4/CF) at a low temperature as an efficient electrocatalyst for HERs. Among the as-prepared samples, the optimal Fe2O3-NiFe2O4/CF-3 electrocatalyst exhibits good HER performance with an overpotential of 127 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2, small Tafel slope of 44.9 mV dec-1, and good stability in 1 M KOH alkaline solution. The synergistic effect between Fe2O3 nanorods and NiFe2O4 nanoparticles of the heterojunction composite at the heterointerface is mainly responsible for improved HER performance. The CF is an effective substrate for the growth of the Fe2O3-NiFe2O4 nanocomposite and provides conductive channels for the active materials' HER process.

Abstract
The rising demand for fossil fuels and the resulting pollution have raised environmental concerns about energy production. Undoubtedly, hydrogen is the best candidate for producing clean and sustainable energy now and in the future. Water splitting is a promising and efficient process for hydrogen production, where catalysts play a key role in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). HER electrocatalysis can be well performed by Pt with a low overpotential close to zero and a Tafel slope of about 30 mV dec-1. However, the main challenge in expanding the hydrogen production process is using efficient and inexpensive catalysts. Due to electrocatalytic activity and electrochemical stability, transition metal compounds are the best options for HER electrocatalysts. This study will focus on analyzing the current situation and recent advances in the design and development of nanostructured electrocatalysts for noble and non-noble metals in HER electrocatalysis. In general, strategies including doping, crystallization control, structural engineering, carbon nanomaterials, and increasing active sites by changing morphology are helpful to improve HER performance. Finally, the challenges and future perspectives in designing functional and stable electrocatalysts for HER in efficient hydrogen production from water-splitting electrolysis will be described.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived metal oxide semiconductors have recently received extensive attention in gas sensing applications due to their high porosity and three-dimensional architecture. Still, challenges remain for MOF-derived materials, including low-cost and facile synthetic methods, rational nanostructure design, and superior gas-sensing performances. Herein, a series of Fe-MIL-88B-derived trimetallic FeCoNi oxides (FCN-MOS) with a mesoporous structure were synthesized by a one-step hydrothermal reaction followed by calcination. The FCN-MOS system consists of three main phases: α-Fe2O3 (n-type), CoFe2O4, and NiFe2O4 (p-type), and the nanostructure and pore size can be controlled by altering the content of α-Fe2O3, CoFe2O4, and NiFe2O4. The sensors based on FCN-MOS exhibit a high response of 71.9, a good selectivity towards 100 ppm ethanol at 250 °C, and long-term stability up to 60 days. Additionally, the FCN-MOS-based sensors show a p-n transition gas sensing behavior with the alteration of the Fe/Co/Ni ratio.

Abstract
Composition optimization, structural design, and introduction of external magnetic fields into the catalytic process can remarkably improve the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance of a catalyst. NiFe2O4@(Ni, Fe)S/P materials with a heterogeneous core-shell structure were prepared by the sulfide/phosphorus method based on spinel-structured NiFe2O4 nanomicrospheres. After the sulfide/phosphorus treatment, not only the intrinsic activity of the material and the active surface area were increased but also the charge transfer resistance was reduced due to the internal electric field. The overpotential of NiFe2O4@(Ni, Fe)P at 10 mA cm-2 (iR correction), Tafel slope, and charge transfer resistance were 261 mV, 42 mV dec-1, and 3.163 Ω, respectively. With an alternating magnetic field, the overpotential of NiFe2O4@(Ni, Fe)P at 10 mA cm-2 (without iR correction) declined by 45.5% from 323 mV (0 mT) to 176 mV (4.320 mT). Such enhancement of performance is primarily accounted for the enrichment of the reactive ion OH- on the electrode surface induced by the inductive electric potential derived from the Faraday induction effect of the AMF. This condition increased the electrode potential and thus the charge transfer rate on the one hand and weakened the diffusion of the active substance from the electrolyte to the electrode surface on the other hand. The OER process was dominantly controlled by the charge transfer process under low current conditions. A fast charge transfer rate boosted the OER performance of the catalyst. At high currents, diffusion exerted a significant effect on the OER process and low OH- diffusion rates would lead to a decrease in the OER performance of the catalyst.

Abstract
Developing a novel, simple, and cost-effective analytical technique with high enrichment capacity and selectivity is crucial for environmental monitoring and remediation. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous coordination polymers that are self-assembly synthesized from organic linkers and inorganic metal ions/metal clusters. Magnetic metal-organic framework (MMOF) composites are promising candidate among the new-generation sorbent materials available for magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) of environmental contaminants due to their superparamagnetism properties, high crystallinity, permanent porosity, ultrahigh specific surface area, adaptable pore shape/sizes, tunable functionality, designable framework topology, rapid and ultrahigh adsorption capacity, and reusability. In this review, we focus on recent scientific progress in the removal of heavy metal ions present in contaminated aquatic system by using MMOF composites. Different types of MMOFs, their synthetic approaches, and various properties that are harnessed for removal of heavy metal ions from contaminated water are discussed briefly. Adsorption mechanisms involved, adsorption capacity, and regeneration of the MMOF sorbents as well as recovery of heavy metal ions adsorbed that are reported in the last ten years have been discussed in this review. Moreover, particular prospects, challenges, and opportunities in future development of MMOFs towards their greener synthetic approaches for their practical industrial applications have critically been considered in this review.

Abstract
Driven by the energy crisis and environmental pollution, developing sustainable clean energy is an effective strategy to realize carbon neutrality. Electrocatalytic reactions are crucial to sustainable energy conversion and storage technologies, and advanced electrocatalysts are required to improve the sluggish electrocatalytic reactions. The magnetic field, as a thermodynamic parameter independent of temperature and pressure, is vital in the construction of electrocatalysts and enhancement of electrocatalysis. In this Review, the recent progress of magnetic field-assisted construction of electrocatalysts and enhancement of electrocatalysis is comprehensively summarized. Originating from the structure-activity-performance relationship of electrocatalysts, the fundamentals of the magnetic field-induced construction of electrocatalysts, including the magnetocaloric effect, nucleation and growth, and phase regulation, have been illustrated. In addition, the magnetic effect on the electrocatalytic reaction, namely, the magnetothermal, magnetohydrodynamic and micro magnetohydrodynamic, Maxwell stress, Kelvin force, and spin selection effects, are discussed. Finally, the perspective and challenges for magnetic field-assisted construction of electrocatalysts and enhancement of electrocatalysis are proposed.

Abstract
Renewable electricity from splitting water to produce hydrogen is a favorable technology to achieve carbon neutrality, but slow anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) kinetics limits its large-scale commercialization. Electron spin polarization and increasing the reaction temperature are considered as potential ways to promote alkaline OER. Here, it is reported that in the alkaline OER process under an AC magnetic field, a ferromagnetic ordered electrocatalyst can simultaneously act as a heater and a spin polarizer to achieve significant OER enhancement at a low current density. Moreover, its effect obviously precedes antiferromagnetic, ferrimagnetic, and diamagnetic electrocatalysts. In particular, the noncorrected overpotential of the ferromagnetic electrocatalyst Co at 10 mA cm-2 is reduced by a maximum of 36.6% to 243 mV at 4.320 mT. It is found that the magnetic heating effect is immediate, and more importantly, it is localized and hardly affects the temperature of the entire electrolytic cell. In addition, the spin pinning effect established on the ferromagnetic/paramagnetic interface generated during the reconstruction of the ferromagnetic electrocatalyst expands the ferromagnetic order of the paramagnetic layer. Also, the introduction of an external magnetic field further increases the orderly arrangement of spins, thereby promoting OER. This work provides a reference for the design of high-performance OER electrocatalysts under a magnetic field.

Abstract
Here, a strategy to regulate the electron density distribution by integrating NiFe layered double hydroxides (NiFe-LDH) nanosheets with Co3 O4 nanowires to construct the NiFe-LDH/Co3 O4 p-n heterojunction supported on nickel foam (NiFe-LDH/Co3 O4 /NF) for electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is proposed. The p-n heterojunction can induce the charge redistribution in the heterogeneous interface to reach Fermi level alignment, thus modifying the adsorption free energy of *OOH and improving the intrinsic activity of the catalyst. As a result, NiFe-LDH/Co3 O4 /NF exhibits outstanding OER performance with a low overpotential of 274 mV at a current density of 50 mA cm-2 and long-time stability over 90 h. Moreover, NF can serve as a magnetic core that induces the exchange bias effect between the magnetic substrate and the active species under the action of the magnetic field, resulting in decreased magnetoresistance and weakened scattering of spin electrons, which further lowers the OER overpotential by 25 mV @ 50 mA cm-2 under a 10 000 G magnetic field. This work provides a new perspective on the design of p-n heterojunction catalysts and a deeper understanding of the magnetic field-enhanced electrocatalytic reactions.

Abstract
The efficient hydrogenation of biomass-derived levulinic acid (LA) to value-added γ-valerolactone (GVL) based on nonprecious metal catalysts under mild conditions is crucial challenge because of the intrinsic inactivity and instability of these catalysts. Herein, a series of highly active and stable carbon-encapsulated Co/ZnO@C-X (where X = 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, the molar ratios of Zn/(Co+Zn)) heterojunction catalysts were obtained by in situ pyrolysis of bimetal CoZn MOF-74. The optimal Co/ZnO@C-0.3 catalyst could achieve 100% conversion of LA and 98.35% selectivity to GVL under mild conditions (100 °C, 5 bar, 3 h), which outperformed most of the state-of-the-art catalysts reported so far. Detailed characterizations, experimental investigations, and theoretical calculations revealed that the interfacial interaction between Co and ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) could promote the dispersibility and air stability of the active Co0 for the activation of H2. Moreover, the strong Co-ZnO interaction also enhanced the Lewis acidity of the Co/ZnO interface, contributing to the adsorption of LA and the esterification of intermediates. The synergy between the hydrogenation sites and the Lewis acid sites at the Co/ZnO interface enabled the conversion of LA to GVL with high efficiency. In addition, benefiting from the Co-ZnO interfacial interaction as well as the unique carbon-encapsulated structure of the heterojunction catalyst, the recyclability was also greatly improved and the yield of GVL was nearly unchanged even after six cycles.

Abstract
Alternating magnetic fields (AMFs) are recently demonstrated as a promising strategy to promote the electrochemical catalytic reactions. However, the underlying mechanisms are still an open question. In this work, we systematically investigated the influence of AMFs on the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) by using a Fe-Co-Ni-P-B magnetic catalyst. The HER catalytic efficiency is boosted significantly by AMFs, with 27% increase in current density at 20 mT. This is attributed to the enhancement of charge-transfer efficiency by Lorentz interaction with a minor contribution from the heating effect. The high magnetic permeability and skin effect of electromagnetic eddy current for the Fe-Co-Ni-P-B electrode can magnify the Lorentz effect. These findings clarify the mechanism of AMF-enhanced HER catalytic activities and open a door for designing a high-efficiency electrocatalysis system.

Abstract
Copper chromite is decorated with iron carbide nanoparticles, producing a magnetically activatable multifunctional catalytic system. This system (ICNPs@Cu2Cr2O5) can reduce aromatic ketones to aromatic alcohols when exposed to magnetic induction. Under magnetic excitation, the ICNPs generate locally confined hot spots, selectively activating the Cu2Cr2O5 surface while the global temperature remains low (≈80 °C). The catalyst selectively hydrogenates a scope of benzylic and non‐benzylic ketones under mild conditions (3 bar H2, heptane), while ICNPs@Cu2Cr2O5 or Cu2Cr2O5 are inactive when the same global temperature is adjusted by conventional heating. A flow reactor is presented that allows the use of magnetic induction for continuous‐flow hydrogenation at elevated pressure. The excellent catalytic properties of ICNPs@Cu2Cr2O5 for the hydrogenation of biomass‐derived furfuralacetone are conserved for at least 17 h on stream, demonstrating for the first time the application of a magnetically heated catalyst to a continuously operated hydrogenation reaction in the liquid phase.
