Abstract
Currently, lithium sulfur (Li-S) battery with high theoretical energy density has attracted great research interest. However, the diffusion and loss process of intermediate lithium polysulfide during charge-discharge hindered the application of the Li-S battery in modern life. To overcome this issue, metal organic frameworks (MOFs) and their composites have been regarded as effective additions to restrain the LiPS diffusion process for Li-S battery. Benefiting from the unique structure with rich active sites to adsorb LiPS and accelerate the LiPS redox, the Li-S batteries with MOFs modified exhibit superior electrochemical performance. Considering the rapid development of MOFs in Li-S battery, this review summarizes the recent studies of MOFs and their composites as the sulfur host materials, functional interlayer, separator coating layer, and separator/solid electrolyte for Li-S batteries in detail. In addition, the promising design strategies of functional MOF materials are proposed to improve the electrochemical performance of Li-S battery.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have attracted significant attention in the realm of electronic energy storage and conversion owing to their remarkable theoretical energy density and cost-effectiveness. However, Li-S batteries continue to face significant challenges, primarily the severe polysulfides shuttle effect and sluggish sulfur redox kinetics, which are inherent obstacles to their practical application. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), known for their porous structure, high adsorption capacity, structural flexibility, and easy synthesis, have emerged as ideal materials for separator modification. Efficient polysulfides interception/conversion ability and rapid lithium-ion conduction enabled by MOFs modified layers are demonstrated in Li-S batteries. In this perspective, the objective is to present an overview of recent advancements in utilizing pristine MOF materials as modification layers for separators in Li-S batteries. The mechanisms behind the enhanced electrochemical performance resulting from each design strategy are explained. The viewpoints and crucial challenges requiring resolution are also concluded for pristine MOFs separator in Li-S batteries. Moreover, some promising materials and concepts based on MOFs are proposed to enhance electrochemical performance and investigate polysulfides adsorption/conversion mechanisms. These efforts are expected to contribute to the future advancement of MOFs in advanced Li-S batteries.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) have recently gained extensive attention due to their high energy density, low cost, and environmental friendliness. However, serious shuttle effect and uncontrolled growth of lithium dendrites restrict them from further commercial applications. As "the third electrode", functional separators are of equal significance as both anodes and cathodes in LSBs. The challenges mentioned above are effectively addressed with rational design and optimization in separators, thereby enhancing their reversible capacities and cycle stability. The review discusses the status/operation mechanism of functional separators, then primarily focuses on recent research progress in versatile separators with purposeful modifications for LSBs, and summarizes the methods and characteristics of separator modification, including heterojunction engineering, single atoms, quantum dots, and defect engineering. From the perspective of the anodes, distinct methods to inhibit the growth of lithium dendrites by modifying the separator are discussed. Modifying the separators with flame retardant materials or choosing a solid electrolyte is expected to improve the safety of LSBs. Besides, in-situ techniques and theoretical simulation calculations are proposed to advance LSBs. Finally, future challenges and prospects of separator modifications for next-generation LSBs are highlighted. We believe that the review will be enormously essential to the practical development of advanced LSBs.

Abstract
The development of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries is very promising and yet faces the issues of hindered polysulfides conversion and Li dendrite growth. Different from using different materials strategies to overcome these two types of problems, here multifunctional catalytic hierarchical interfaces of Ni12 P5 -Ni2 P porous nanosheets formed by Ni2 P partially in situ converted from Ni12 P5 are proposed. The unique electronic structure in the interface endows Ni12 P5 -Ni2 P effective electrocatalysis effect toward both sulfides' reduction and oxidation through reducing Gibbs free energies, indicating a bidirectional conversion acceleration. Importantly, Ni12 P5 -Ni2 P porous nanosheets with hierarchical interfaces also reduced the Li nucleation energy barrier, and a dendrite-free Li deposition is realized during the overall Li deposition and stripping steps. To this end, Ni12 P5 -Ni2 P decorated carbon nanotube/S cathode showing a high capacity of over 1500 mAh g-1 , and a high rate capability of 8 C. Moreover, the coin full cell delivered a high capacity of 1345 mAh g-1 at 0.2 C and the pouch full cell delivered a high capacity of 1114 mAh g-1 at 0.2 C with high electrochemical stability during 180° bending. This work inspires the exploration of hierarchical structures of 2D materials with catalytically active interfaces to improve the electrochemistry of Li-S full battery.

Abstract
The use of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as catalysts is reported in various industrial applications. In contrast to monometallic MOFs, heterometallic MOFs with mixed organic ligands showed enhanced catalytic properties. The catalytic properties of heterometallic MOFs can be enhanced by generating defects and the synergistic effect between the two heterometals at secondary building units. By using a solvothermal technique, a Cd-Zn heterometallic MOF with a new morphology, [Cd2Zn(DPTTZ)0.5(OBA)3(H2O)(HCOOH)] (IUST-4) [DPTTZ = 2,5-di(4-pyridyl)thiazolo[5,4-d]thiazole, OBA = 4,4'-oxybis(benzoic acid)], was synthesized via a mixed-ligand strategy and characterized by single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis. X-ray crystallographic analysis showed that IUST-4 is a neutral 3D metal-organic framework crystallized in the monoclinic system with space group C2/c. In this study, the catalytic properties of IUST-4 for the epoxidation of cyclooctene were investigated. IUST-4 was selected as the optimal catalyst for epoxy product production due to its high selectivity and yield. Moreover, the catalytic performance of IUST-4 was maintained despite five recycling cycles without significant degradation. The epoxidation of cyclooctene with IUST-4 has several advantages, including good selectivity, easy recovery, and short-time reaction.

Abstract
As a potential replacement for metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), constructing metal-organic gels (MOGs) is an appealing but challenging topic since MOGs are a kind of shapeable MOF gels. Also, the rapid adsorption of trace heavy metal ions in aqueous media remains a serious challenge. Herein, a simple strategy for the synthesis of Ce(IV)-based metal-organic gel (Ce-MOG) was first developed for the rapid adsorption of trace As(V). The (NH4)2Ce(NO3)6 obtains hydroxide bridges after adding apposite NaOH, leading to [Ce6O4(OH)4]12+ clustering and inducing fast and excessive nucleation rates, which also leads to coordination disturbance of MOF nanocrystals to obtain Ce-MOG. The Ce-OH groups are the key to gel formation through hydrogen bonding and are the active site for the ultrafast adsorption of As(V). As expected, the resultant Ce-MOG has an excellent adsorption rate, making it possible to effectively decontaminate 500 ppb of As(V) to below the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended threshold for drinking water (10 ppb) within 1 min. It achieves equilibrium adsorption in 10 min, and the final arsenate-removing efficiency reaches 99.8%. For Ce-MOF, the effluent concentration of As(V) is higher than the drinking water standard, while equilibrium adsorption takes 60 min. The initial adsorption rate of Ce-MOG, h(k2qe2) is calculated and indicated to be 67.67 mg g-1 min-1, about 19.96 times that of Ce-MOF (3.39 mg g-1 min-1). As such, the excellent As(V) decontamination rate, selectivity, and reusability of Ce-MOG indicate its great potential for practical drinking water purification.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries exhibit unparalleled theoretical capacity and energy density than conventional lithium ion batteries, but they are hindered by the dissatisfactory "shuttle effect" and the sluggish conversion kinetics owing to the low lithium ion transport kinetics, resulting in rapid capacity fading. Herein, a catalytic two-dimensional heterostructure composite is prepared by evenly grafting mesoporous carbon on the MXene nanosheet (denoted as OMC-g-MXene), serving as interfacial kinetic accelerators in Li-S batteries. In this design, the grafted mesoporous carbon in the heterostructure can not only prevent the stack of MXene nanosheets with the enhanced mechanical property but also offer a facilitated pump for accelerating ion diffusion. Meanwhile, the exposed defect-rich OMC-g-MXene heterostructure inhibits the polysulfide shuttling with chemical interactions between OMC-g-MXene and polysulfides and thus simultaneously enhances the electrochemical conversion kinetics and efficiency, as fully investigated by in situ/ex situ characterizations. Consequently, the cells with OMC-g-MXene ion pumps achieve a high cycling capacity (966 mAh g-1 at 0.2 C after 200 cycles), a superior rate performance (537 mAh g-1 at 5 C), and an ultralow decaying rate of 0.047% per cycle after 800 cycles at 1 C. Even employed with a high sulfur loading of 7.08 mg cm-2 under lean electrolyte, an ultrahigh areal capacity of 4.5 mAh cm-2 is acquired, demonstrating a future practical application.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) have been considered promising candidates for next-generation energy storage devices owing to their high energy density, low price, and environment-friendly characteristics. However, their commercialization has been hindered by the "shuttle effect", which occurs during the charge/discharge cycles and leads to poor cycling performance and low coulombic efficiency. Here, we synthesized flower-shaped hollow VOOH spheres on the carbon nanotube (CNT) network, which were used as the multifunctional sulfur host materials for the first time in LSBs. These VOOH spheres can chemically and physically confine polysulfides as well as catalyze their redox conversion; additionally, their hollow structure can effectively accommodate the volume change during cycling. Moreover, the CNTs among spheres can improve the conductivity of the host material and increase the number of active sites for interfacial reactions. Accordingly, when used as a cathode material, VOOH@CNTs/S composites exhibited a large specific discharge capacity of 1414.63 mAh/g at 0.1 C and excellent cycling stability. At a low current density of 0.5 C, VOOH@CNTs/S exhibited a capacity decay of 0.044% per cycle after 100 cycles. Importantly, at an ultrahigh current density of 5 C, a specific capacity as high as 455.09 mAh/g could be still be delivered after 1000 cycles, corresponding to a superior capacity retention of 90.46% and an ultralow capacity decay of 0.009% per cycle. These findings open up a new material for the practical application of LSBs with ultrafast charge/discharge property and long-lasting cyclic stability.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries hold great promise for new-generation energy storage technologies owing to their overwhelming energy density. However, the poor conductivity of active sulfur and the shuttle effect limit their widespread use. Herein, a carbon cloth decorated with thiol-containing UiO-66 nanoparticles (CC@UiO-66(SH)2) was developed to substitute the traditional interlayer and current collector for Li-S batteries. One side of CC@UiO-66(SH)2 acts as a current collector to load active materials, while the other side serves as an interlayer to further restrain polysulfide shuttling. This two-in-one integrated architecture endows the sulfur cathode with fast electron/ion transport and efficient chemical confinement of polysulfides. More importantly, rich thiol groups in the pores of UiO-66(SH)2 serve to tether polysulfides by both covalent interactions and lithium bonding. Therefore, the Li-S battery equipped with this integrated interlayer-current collector not only delivers an enhanced specific capability (1209 mAh g-1 at 0.1 C) but also exhibits prominent cycling stability (an attenuation rate of 0.037% per cycle for 1000 cycles at 1 C). Meanwhile, the battery achieves a high discharge capacity of 795 mAh g-1 at a sulfur loading of 3.83 mg cm-2. The new metal-organic framework (MOF)-based electrode material reported in this study undoubtedly provides insights into the exploration of functional MOFs for robust Li-S batteries.

Abstract
Lithium sulfur batteries (LSBs) have attracted tremendous attention owing to their high theoretical specific capacity and specific energy. However, their practical applications are hindered by poor cyclic life, mainly caused by polysulfide shuttling. The development of advanced materials to mitigate the polysulfide shuttling effect is urgently demanded. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been exploited as multifunctional materials for the decoration of separators owing to their high surface area, structural diversity, tunable pore size, and easy tailor ability. In this review, we aim to present the state-of-the-art MOF-based separators for LSBs. Particular attention is paid to the rational design (pore aperture, metal node, functionality, and dimension) of MOFs with enhanced ability for anchoring polysulfides and facilitating Li+ transportation. Finally, the challenges and perspectives are provided regarding to the future design MOF-based separators for high-performance LSBs.

Abstract
Superior high-rate performance and ultralong cycling life have been constantly pursued for rechargeable sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). In this work, a facile strategy is employed to successfully synthesize porous Cox P hierarchical nanostructures supported on a flexible carbon fiber cloth (Cox P@CFC), constructing a robust architecture of ordered nanoarrays. Via such a unique design, porous and bare structures can thoroughly expose the electroactive surfaces to the electrolyte, which is favorable for ultrafast sodium-ion storage. In addition, the CFC provides an interconnected 3D conductive network to ensure firm electrical connection of the electrode materials. Besides the inherent flexibility of the CFC, the integration of the hierarchical structures of Cox P with the CFC, as well as the strong synergistic effect between them, effectively help to buffer the mechanical stress caused by repeated sodiation/desodiation, thereby guaranteeing the structural integrity of the overall electrode. Consequently, Cox P@CFC as an anode shows a record-high capacity of 279 mAh g-1 at 5.0 A g-1 with almost no capacity attenuation after 9000 cycles.

Abstract
In this article, we synthesized a Yb3+-doped two-dimensional (2-D) upconverting Tb metal-organic framework (Tb-MOF) (hereinafter referred to as Tb-UCMOF) by a one-step solvothermal method. The synthesized Tb-UCMOF is composed of stacks of 2-D nanosheets with an average width distributed between 250 and 300 nm, and these nanosheets can be exfoliated by a simple liquid ultrasound method. The structural characteristics of this flaky particle accumulation are confirmed by the type IV adsorption-desorption isotherm with a H3-type adsorption hysteresis loop, and the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface of Tb-UCMOF is 143.9257 m2·g-1. Tb-UCMOF has characteristic emissions of Tb3+ which are located at 490, 545, 585, and 621 nm under 980 nm excitation. The upconverting luminescence mechanism is attributed to that Yb3+ absorbs multiple photons and transfers the energy to Tb3+, causing its 4f electrons to jump to the excited state, and then the upconverting emissions are obtained when electrons return to the ground state. Since the Tb-UCMOF nanosheets have high dispersibility and an obvious upconverting luminescent signal, we explored their luminescence sensing properties. The luminescence intensity is found to gradually decrease with the addition of Cu2+, the linear range of Cu2+ sensing is 0-1.4 μM, and the detection limit is 0.16 μM. This rapid, highly selective, and sensitive Cu2+ sensing indicates that 2-D upconverting MOF nanosheets have great application prospects in luminescence sensing and also promote the research of 2-D upconverting MOFs with specific recognition for the application of biological and environmental luminescent sensors.

Abstract
Cerium (IV)-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are highly desirable due to their unique potential in fields such as redox catalysis and photocatalysis. However, due to the high reduction potential of CeIV species in solution, it is still a great challenge to synthesize CeIV -MOFs with novel structures, which are extremely dominated by the hexanuclear Ce-O cluster inorganic building units (IBUs). Herein, a Ce-O IBU chain containing CeIV -MOF, CSUST-3 (CSUST: Changsha University of Science and Technology), was successfully prepared using the kinetic stabilization study of UiO-66(Ce)-NDC (H2 NDC=2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid). Furthermore, owing to the superior redox activity, Lewis acidity and semiconductor-like behavior owing to Ce4+ , activated CSUST-3 was demonstrated to be an excellent catalyst for CO2 chemical fixation. One-pot synthesis of styrene carbonate from styrene and CO2 was achieved under mild conditions (1 atm CO2 , 80 °C, and solvent free). Moreover, activated CSUST-3 was shown to be a remarkable co-catalyst-free photocatalyst for overall water splitting (OWS), rendering 59 μmol g-1 h-1 of H2 and 22 μmol g-1 h-1 of O2 under simulated sunlight irradiation (Na2 S-Na2 SO3 as sacrificial agent).

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur batteries, promising secondary energy storage devices, were mainly limited by its unsatisfactory cyclability owing to inefficient reversible conversion of sulfur and lithium sulfide on the cathode during the discharge/charging process. In this study, nitrogen-doped three-dimensional porous carbon material loaded with CoSe 2 nanoparticles (CoSe 2 -PNC) is developed as a cathode for lithium-sulfur battery application. A combination of CoSe 2 and nitrogen-doped porous carbon can efficiently improve the cathode activity and its conductivity, resulting in enhanced redox kinetics of the charge/discharge process. The obtained electrode exhibits a high discharge specific capacity of 1139.6 mAh g -1 at a current density of 0.2 C. After 100 cycles, its capacity remained at 865.7 mAh g -1 corresponding to a capacity retention of 75.97%. In a long-term cycling test, a discharge specific capacity of 546.7 mAh g -1 was observed after 300 cycles performed at a current density of 1 C.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries featured by ultra-high energy density and cost-efficiency are considered the most promising candidate for the next-generation energy storage system. However, their pragmatic applications confront several non-negligible drawbacks that mainly originate from the reaction and transformation of sulfur intermediates. Grasping and catalyzing these sulfur species motivated the research topics in this field. In this regard, carbon dopants with metal/metal-free atoms together with transition-metal complex, as traditional lithium polysulfide (LiPS) propellers, exhibited significant electrochemical performance promotions. Nevertheless, only the surface atoms of these host-accelerators can possibly be used as active sites. In sharp contrast, organic materials with a tunable structure and composition can be dispersed as individual molecules on the surface of substrates that may be more efficient electrocatalysts. The well-defined molecular structures also contribute to elucidate the involved surface-binding mechanisms. Inspired by these perceptions, organic electrocatalysts have achieved a great progress in recent decades. This review focuses on the organic electrocatalysts used in each part of Li-S batteries and discusses the structure-activity relationship between the introduced organic molecules and LiPSs. Ultimately, the future developments and prospects of organic electrocatalysts in Li-S batteries are also discussed.
