J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 676:238-248. [PMID: 39029250 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.07.063] [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: 04/01/2024] [Revised: 06/28/2024] [Accepted: 07/07/2024] [Indexed: 07/21/2024]
Abstract
CoFe bimetallic organic frameworks (CoFe-MOFs) with tunable morphology and electronic structure are synthesized in situ utilizing cobalt hydroxide (Co(OH)2) as a semi-sacrificial template and different anionic iron salts as modifying factors in a non-calcined synthesis method. This work defines the impact of three different anionic metallic iron salts (FeCl3, Fe(NO3)3, and Fe2(SO4)3) on the morphology of MOF materials and their resulting oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalytic activity. Employing ferric chloride (FeCl3) as the metallic iron source, heterostructured electrocatalysts (BN-CoFe-MOF) with nanoparticles decorated nanoneedle tips are obtained, exhibiting a low overpotential (230 mV at 10 mA cm-2) and a Tafel slope of 105.6 mV dec-1 in 1.0 M KOH. It also demonstrates long time stability for at least 50 h at a current density of 10 mA cm-2. The investigation uncovers that the splendid OER activity and stability of the BN-CoFe-MOF heterojunction can be attributed to its large specific surface area, desirable mesoporous structure, superaerophobic characteristic, and high exposure of active centers. This work not only provides an efficient and cost-effective MOF based OER electrocatalyst but also serves as a valuable reference for future research on morphology control and strategies to enhance the OER activity of MOF catalysts.

Abstract
Due to the slow kinetic nature of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), the development of electrocatalysts with high efficiency, stability, and economy for oxygen production using metal-organic framework (MOF) materials is still a challenging research topic. In this work, we chose the different concentrations of FeS adsorption to encapsulate metal cobalt-based ZIF-67 MOF for preparing a series of electrocatalysts (ZIF1FeSx, x = 0.2, 0.5, 0.75, and 1), which were mainly explored for the electrocatalytic OER. Among them, ZIF1FeS0.5 has excellent electrocatalytic activity for OER, which can be driven by low overpotentials of 276 and 349 mV at 10 and 50 mA cm-2 current densities, and more than 92% of the initial overpotential can be maintained after 100 h of continuous OER at 10 mA cm-2 current density. This is mainly due to the electronic interactions between the cobalt-based MOF and the FeS, which shift the electronic state of the active metal center to a higher valence state for increasing the number of active sites and enhancing the efficiency of electron transfer to facilitate the OER course. This work may contribute to the design of effective catalysts for the OER during the electrolysis of alkaline solutions.

Abstract
The development of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts is essential for the production of green hydrogen from water electrolysis, but it is challenging. Herein, ruthenium (Ru) single-atom-modified Co-HHTP (HHTP = 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexahydroxytriphenylene) (Ru@Co-HHTP) was prepared via a solvothermal and ion exchange method. Systematic experiments highlight that the atomically dispersed Ru can optimize the electronic structure and electronic conductivity of Co-HHTP. As a result, the obtained Ru@Co-HHTP shows a low overpotential of 247 mV at 100 mA cm-2, a small Tafel slope of 38.14 mV dec-1, and good stability, which are superior to those of Co-HHTP, commercial IrO2, and most previously reported catalysts. This work provides a new avenue for designing highly efficient elongated OER electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Modulating the coordination environment of the metal active center is an effective method to boost the catalytic performances of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, little attention has been paid to the halogen effects on the ligands engineering. Herein, a series of MOFs X─FeNi-MOFs (X = Br, Cl, and F) is constructed with different coordination microenvironments to optimize OER activity. Theoretical calculations reveal that with the increase in electronegativity of halogen ions in terephthalic acid molecular (TPA), the Bader charge of Ni atoms gets larger and the Ni-3d band center and O-2p bands move closer to the Fermi level. This indicates that an increase in ligand negativity of halogen ions in TPA can promote the adsorption ability of catalytic sites to oxygen-containing intermediates and reduce the activation barrier for OER. Experimental also demonstrates that F─FeNi-MOFs exhibit the highest catalytic activity with an ultralow overpotential of 218 mV at 10 mA cm-2, outperforming most otate-of-the-art Fe/Co/Ni-based MOFs catalysts, and the enhanced mass activity by seven times compared with that for the sample before ligands engineering. This work opens a new avenue for the realization of the modulation of NiFe─O bonding by halogen ion in TPA and improves the OER performance of MOFs.

Abstract
Refining synthesis strategies for metal-organic framework (MOF)-based catalysts to improve their performance and stability in an oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a big challenge. In this study, a series of nanostructured electrocatalysts were synthesized through a solvothermal method by growing MOFs and metal-triazolates (METs) on nickel foam (NF) substrates (named MET-M/NF, M = Fe, Co, Cu), and these electrocatalysts could be used directly as OER self-supporting electrodes. Among these electrocatalysts, MET-Fe/NF exhibited the best OER performance, requiring only an overpotential of 122 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 and showing remarkable stability over 15 h. The experimental results uncovered that MET-Fe/NF underwent an in situ structural reconstruction, resulting in the formation of numerous iron/nickel (oxy)hydroxides with high OER activity. Furthermore, in a two-electrode water-splitting setup, MET-Fe/NF only required 1.463 V to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm-2. Highlighting its potential for practical applications. This work provides insight into the design and development of efficient MOF-based OER catalysts.

Abstract
The demand for the exploration of highly active and durable electro/photocatalysts for renewable energy conversion has experienced a significant surge in recent years. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), by virtue of their high porosity, large surface area, and modifiable metal centers and ligands, have gained tremendous attention and demonstrated promising prospects in electro/photocatalytic energy conversion. However, the small pore sizes and limited active sites of 3D bulk MOFs hinder their wide applications. Developing 2D MOFs with tailored thickness and large aspect ratio has emerged as an effective approach to meet these challenges, offering a high density of exposed active sites, better mechanical stability, better assembly flexibility, and shorter charge and photoexcited state transfer distances compared to 3D bulk MOFs. In this review, synthesis methods for the most up-to-date 2D MOFs are first overviewed, highlighting their respective advantages and disadvantages. Subsequently, a systematic analysis is conducted on the identification and electronic structure modulation of catalytic active sites in 2D MOFs and their applications in renewable energy conversion, including electrocatalysis and photocatalysis (electro/photocatalysis). Lastly, the current challenges and future development of 2D MOFs toward highly efficient and practical electro/photocatalysis are proposed.

Abstract
Carbon neutrality is an important goal for humanity . As an eco-friendly technology, electrocatalytic clean energy conversion technology has emerged in the 21st century. Currently, metal-organic framework (MOF)-based electrocatalysis, including oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR), carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR), nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR), are the mainstream energy catalytic reactions, which are driven by electrocatalysis. In this paper, the current advanced characterizations for the analyses of MOF-based electrocatalytic energy reactions have been described in details, such as density function theory (DFT), machine learning, operando/in situ characterization, which provide in-depth analyses of the reaction mechanisms related to the above reactions reported in the past years. The practical applications that have been developed for some of the responses that are of application values, such as fuel cells, metal-air batteries, and water splitting have also been demonstrated. This paper aims to maximize the potential of MOF-based electrocatalysts in the field of energy catalysis, and to shed light on the development of current intense energy situations.

Abstract
The structure and properties of materials are determined by a diverse range of chemical bond formation and breaking mechanisms, which greatly motivates the development of selectively controlling the chemical bonds in order to achieve materials with specific characteristics. Here, an orientational intervening bond-breaking strategy is demonstrated for synthesizing ultrathin metal-organic framework (MOF) nanosheets through balancing the process of thermal decomposition and liquid nitrogen exfoliation. In such approach, proper thermal treatment can weaken the interlayer bond while maintaining the stability of the intralayer bond in the layered MOFs. And the following liquid nitrogen treatment results in significant deformation and stress in the layered MOFs' structure due to the instant temperature drop and drastic expansion of liquid N2, leading to the curling, detachment, and separation of the MOF layers. The produced MOF nanosheets with five cycles of treatment are primarily composed of nanosheets that are less than 10 nm in thickness. The MOF nanosheets exhibit enhanced catalytic performance in oxygen evolution reactions owing to the ultrathin thickness without capping agents which provide improved charge transfer efficiency and dense exposed active sites. This strategy underscores the significance of orientational intervention in chemical bonds to engineer innovative materials.

Abstract
Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts are frequently made from noble metal-based oxides like ruthenium/iridium oxides. However, because of their scarcity and high price, researchers are now focusing on creating innovative OER catalysts based on affordable transition metals that have improved electrical conductivity and accessibility to active sites. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a unique class of inorganic materials with excellent physical and chemical properties, have witnessed significant progress in promising green energy systems. In this work, a novel mixed-ligand metal-organic framework [Co(μ-1κN,2κN'-BDP)(μ3-1κoo',2κo''2κo'''-BTC)]n·nH2O (BDP = boron-dipyrromethene or BODIPY; BTC = benzene tricarboxylate) denoted as CoBDPMOF has been synthesized, and its composites with different carbon materials have been designed. Compared to the pristine MOF, the composites showed enhanced electrocatalytic activity toward the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline media. In addition, the CoBDPMOF with activated carbon showed the highest OER performance with a low Tafel slope (82 mV dec-1) and the highest j600 (59.8 mA cm-2), outperforming noble metal IrO2, the OER benchmark electrocatalyst. This study presents new insights into the design and application of CoBDPMOF-based materials for energy conversion and suggests promising avenues for further research and development in electrocatalysis.

Abstract
A novel semiconductive Co/Fe-MOF embedded with Fe2 O3 nanocrystals (Fe2 O3 @CoFe-MOF) is developed as a trifunctional electrocatalyst for the urea oxidation reaction (UOR), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and hydrogen evolution reaction for enhancing the efficiency of the hydrogen production via the urea-assisted overall water splitting. Fe2 O3 @CoFe-TPyP-MOF comprises unsaturated metal-nitrogen coordination sites, affording enriched defects, self-tuned d-band centers, and efficient π-π interaction between different layers. Density functional theory calculation confirms that the adsorption of urea can be optimized at Fe2 O3 @CoFe-TPyP-MOF, realizing the efficient adsorption of intermediates and desorption of the final product of CO2 and N2 characterized by the in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The two-electrode urea-assisted water splitting device-assembled with Fe2 O3 @CoFe-TPyP-MOF illustrates a low cell voltage of 1.41 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode at the current density of 10 mA cm-2 , attaining the hydrogen production rate of 13.13 µmol min-1 in 1 m KOH with 0.33 m urea. The in situ electrochemical Raman spectra and other basic characterizations of the used electrocatalyst uncover that Fe2 O3 @CoFe-TPyP-MOF undergoes the reversible structural reconstruction after the UOR test, while it demonstrates the irreversible reconstruction after the OER measurement. This work redounds the progress of urea-assisted water spitting for hydrogen production.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 657:538-549.

Abstract
The exploitation of efficient, stable and cheap electrocatalyst for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is very significant to the development of energy technology. In this study, Fe-based metal-organic frameworks (MIL-53(Fe)) self-supporting electrode with a 3D hierarchical open structure was developed through a semi-sacrificial strategy. The self-supporting electrode exhibits an excellent OER performance with an overpotential of 328 mV at 100 mA cm-2 in 1 M KOH, which is superior than that of IrO2 catalyst. Importantly, the optimized self-supporting electrode could operate at 100 mA cm-2 for 520 h without visible decrease in activity. It was also found that the structure of MIL-53(Fe) was in-situ self-reconstructed into oxyhydroxides during OER process. However, the 3D hierarchical open structure assembled with nano-microstructures kept well, which ensured the long-term stability of our self-supporting electrode for OER. Furthermore, density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the FeOOH with rich oxygen vacancy transformed from MIL-53(Fe) plays a key role for the OER catalytic activity. And, the uninterrupted formation of oxygen vacancy during OER process ensures the continuous OER catalytic activity, which is the original source for the ultra-long stability of the self-supporting electrode toward OER. This work explores the way for the construction of efficient self-supporting oxygen electrodes based on MOFs.

Abstract
Developing efficient and economical catalysts is essential for water splitting. The application of MOF catalysts in water splitting is limited by poor conductivity; however, the introduction of conductive TMS could enhance their activity. Herein, novel composite Fe9S10/Fe-MOF/NF-2 was constructed by introducing dendritic Fe9S10 onto the surface of a 2D ultrathin Fe-MOF. Composite catalysts elaborately utilize the structural and chemical advantages of MOF and TMS while improving the deficiencies of monomers through the combination. Owing to the optimal structure, the hybrid catalyst Fe9S10/Fe-MOF/NF-2 displayed better catalytic performance than bare Fe-MOFs and Fe9S10, with low overpotentials of 202 and 216 mV at 10 mA cm-2 in alkaline solution and simulated seawater, respectively. This work provides an innovative approach to modify MOFs as electrocatalysts for OER.

Abstract
PEMWE is becoming one of the most promising technologies for efficient and green hydrogen production, while the anode OER process is deeply restricted by the now commercially used iridium oxide with sluggish reaction kinetics and super high cost. Deeply exploring the essential relationship between the underlying substrate materials and the performance of PEMWE cells while simultaneously excavating new practical and convenient methods to reduce costs and increase efficiency is full of challenges. Herein, two representative kinds of iridium oxide were studied, and their performance difference in PEMWE was precisely analyzed with electrochemical techniques and physical characterization and further linked to the ionomer/catalyst compound features. A novel anode with a uniform thin ionomer coating was successfully constructed, which simultaneously optimized the ionomer/catalyst aggregates as well as electrical conductivity, resulting in significantly enhanced PEMWE performance. This rigorous qualitative analysis of the structure-performance relationship as well as effective ionomer-affinitive optimization strategies are of great significance to the development of next-generation high-performance PEM water electrolyzers.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and their derivatives have been extensively employed in Oxygen Evolution Reaction (OER) catalysts due to their significantly larger specific surface areas, distinct metal centers, and well-organized porous structures. However, the microporous structure of MOFs and their derivatives presents mass transfer resistance, limiting their further development. Drawing inspiration from hierarchical structures allowing for the transport and exchange of substances in the biological world, we designed and fabricated biomimetic layered porous structures within ZIF-67 and its derivatives. Based on this, we achieved a three-dimensional ordered layered porous nitrogen-doped carbon-coated magnetic cobalt catalyst (3DOLP Co@NDC) with a biomimetic pore structure. It is found that the 3DOLP Co@NDC (352 mV @10 mA cm-1 ) was better than Co@NDC (391 mV @10 mA cm-1 ). The introduction of a three-dimensional ordered layered porous structure is conducive to increasing the specific surface area of the material, increasing the electrochemical active area, and improving the catalytic performance of the material. The introduction of a three-dimensional ordered layered porous structure would help to build a bionic grade pore structure. The existence of biomimetic grade pore structure can effectively reduce the mass transfer resistance, improve the material exchange efficiency, and accelerate the reaction kinetics.

Abstract
The poor electrically conductivity of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is the main factor hinder their application in electrocatalysis field. In this work, we synthesize a conductive two-dimensional (2D) trimetallic π-d conjugated metal-organic framework (MOF) FeCoNi-BHT (BHT = 1,2,3,4,5,6-benzenehexathiol) through coordinating Co, Fe and Ni ions with 1,2,3,4,5,6-benzenehexathiol ligands. FeCoNi-BHT is demonstrated possessing homogeneously dispersed abundant Co-S4, Fe-S4, Ni-S4 single-atom active sites (14.26 wt% of the metal elements) and a large specific surface area (267.05 m2g-1). The room temperature conductivity of FeCoNi-BHT is measured to be 92 S m-1, indicating its metallic behavior. DFT theoretical calculation reveals that the π-d conjugation structure of FeCoNi-BHT is responsible for its metallic behavior. In addition, FeCoNi-BHT exhibits prominent oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity (an overpotential of 266 mV vs. RHE at 10 mA cm-2 and a Tafel value of 58 mV dec-1) in alkaline media. The combined experimental and DFT studies reveal that the synergistic effect of Co, Fe, Ni sites of FeCoNi-BHT contribute to its prominent OER activity. This work paves a new avenue of developing 2D π-d conjugated MOFs with different metal centers as highly efficient eletrocatalysts.

Abstract
The development of non-precious metal electrocatalysts with high activity for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a crucial and challenging task. In this work, we proposed a solvent-free in situ metal-organic framework (MOF) growth strategy for the fabrication of an Fe-doped CoO/Co electrocatalyst. This approach not only partially granted the MOF's porous structure to the catalyst but also resulted in a tighter combination between the Co metal and CoO, thereby enhancing its electrical conductivity. Furthermore, this method enabled the Fe species to be more uniformly dispersed on CoO/Co, which significantly exposed more active sites for efficient electrocatalysis. The entire synthesis process was solvent-free, except for a small amount of water and ethanol used during catalyst washing. The as-synthesized Fe-CoO/Co electrocatalyst exhibited superior OER activity on a glass carbon electrode, with η = 276 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2, even higher than that of the commercial precious IrO2/C catalyst. Additionally, it was also extended to prepare a Ni-doped CoO/Co electrocatalyst by the same procedure with satisfactory OER performance. This work presents a new preparation approach for MOF-derived catalysts with potential applications in energy conversion and beyond.

Abstract
Multivariate metal-organic framework (MOF) is an ideal electrocatalytic material due to the synergistic effect of multiple metal active sites. In this study, a series of ternary M-NiMOF (M = Co, Cu) through a simple self-templated strategy that the Co/Cu MOF isomorphically grows in situ on the surface of NiMOF is designed. Owing to the electron rearrange of adjacent metals, the ternary CoCu-NiMOFs demonstrate the improved intrinsic electrocatalytic activity. At optimized conditions, the ternary Co3 Cu-Ni2 MOFs nanosheets give the excellent oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance of current density of 10 mA cm-2 at low overpotential of 288 mV with a Tafel slope of 87 mV dec-1 , which is superior to that of bimetallic nanosheet and ternary microflowers. The low free energy change of potential-determining step identifies that the OER process is favorable at Cu-Co concerted sites along with strong synergistic effect of Ni nodes. Partially oxidized metal sites also reduce the electron density, thus accelerating the OER catalytic rate. The self-templated strategy provides a universal tool to design multivariate MOF electrocatalysts for highly efficient energy transduction.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have recently been considered the promising catalysts due to their merits of abundant metal sites, versatile coordination groups, and tunable porous structure. However, low electronic conductivity of most MOFs obstructs their direct application in electrocatalysis. In this work, we fabricate an Ni-Rh bimetallic conductive MOF ([Ni2.85Rh0.15(HHTP)2]n/CC) grown in situ on carbon cloth. Abundant nanopores in the conductive MOFs expose additional catalytic active sites, and the advantageous 2D π-conjugated structure helps accelerate charge transfer. Owing to the introduction of Rh, [Ni2.85Rh0.15(HHTP)2]n/CC exhibited substantially improved oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity and exhibited only an overpotential of 320 mV to achieve the current density of 20 mA cm-2. The remarkable OER performance confirmed by the electrochemical tests could be ascribed to the synergistic effect caused by the doped Rh together with Ni in [Ni2.85Rh0.15(HHTP)2]n/CC, thereby exhibiting outstanding electrocatalytic performance.

Abstract
Low-cost, sustainable hydrogen production requires noble metal-free electrocatalysts for water splitting. In this study, we prepared zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIF) decorated with CoFe2O4 spinel nanoparticles as active catalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The CoFe2O4 nanoparticles were synthesized by converting agricultural bio-waste (potato peel extract) into economically valuable electrode materials. The biogenic CoFe2O4 composite showed an overpotential of 370 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 and a low Tafel slope of 283 mV dec-1, whereas the ZIF@CoFe2O4 composite prepared using an in situ hydrothermal method showed an overpotential of 105 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and a low Tafel slope of 43 mV dec-1 in a 1 M KOH medium. The results demonstrated an exciting prospect of high-performance noble metal-free electrocatalysts for low-cost, high-efficiency, and sustainable hydrogen production.

Abstract
A novel ratiometric sensor using an electrochemically active metal-organic framework of Mo@MOF-808 and NH2-UiO-66 as response signals was developed to detect tetracycline (TET) in ultratrace quantities. To achieve the dual-response strategy, Mo@MOF-808, with a reduction peak at -1.06 V, and NH2-UiO-66, with an oxidation peak at 0.724 V, were used as signal probes directly. Concretely, Mo@MOF-808, single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), and complex system (Apt@NH2-UiO-66) of aptamer (Apt) and NH2-UiO-66 were sequentially immobilized on the electrode. With the addition of TET, Apt was hybridized with TET and Apt@NH2-UiO-66 was detached from the electrode, resulting in an increase in the current at -1.06 V and a decrease in the current at 0.724 V. Through this strategy, the sensor achieved a wide linear range (0.1-10000 nM) and a low limit of detection (0.009792 nM) for TET. Moreover, the ratiometric sensor exhibited better sensitivity, reproducibility, and stability than a single-signal sensor. Furthermore, the constructed sensor was successfully applied to detect TET in milk samples, suggesting excellent application prospects.

Abstract
Developing MOF-based catalysts with superior catalytic properties for the thermal decomposition of cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX) is significant for the application of novel and efficient combustion catalysts oriented to RDX-based propellants with excellent combustion performance. Herein, micro-sized Co-ZIF-L with a star-like morphology (SL-Co-ZIF-L) was found to exhibit unprecedented catalytic capability for the decomposition of RDX, which can lower the decomposition temperature of RDX by 42.9 °C and boost the heat release by 50.8%, superior to that of all the ever-reported MOFs and even ZIF-67, which has similar chemical composition but a much smaller size. In-depth mechanism study from both experimental and theoretical views reveals that the weekly interacted 2D layered structure of SL-Co-ZIF-L could activate the exothermic C-N fission pathway for the decomposition of RDX in the condensed phase, thus reversing the commonly advantageous N-N fission pathway and promoting the decomposition process in the low-temperature stage. Our study reveals the unusually superior catalytic capability of micro-sized MOF catalysts and sheds light on the rational structure design of catalysts used in micromolecule transformation reactions, typically the thermal decomposition of energetic materials.

Abstract
The Z-scheme heterojunction has demonstrated significant potential for promoting photogenerated carrier separation. However, the rational design of all-solid Z-scheme heterojunctions catalysts and the controversies about carrier transfer path of direct Z-scheme heterojunctions catalysts face various challenges. Herein, a novel heterojunction, Cu2O@V-CN (octa), was fabricated using V-CN (carbon nitride with nitrogen-rich vacancies) in-situ electrostatic self-wrapping Cu2O octahedra. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that the separation of carriers across the Cu2O@V-CN (octa) heterointerface was directly mapped to the Z-scheme mechanism compared to Cu2O/V-CN (sphere). This is because the Cu2O octahedra expose more highly active (111) lattice planes with more terminal Cu atoms and V-CN with abundant nitrogen vacancies to form delocalized electronic structures like electronic reservoirs. This facilitates the wrapping of Cu2O octahedra by V-CN and protects their stability via tighter interfacial contact, thus enhancing the tunneling of carriers for rapid photocatalytic sterilization. These findings provide novel approaches for designing high-efficiency Cu2O-based photocatalytic antifoulants for practical applications.

Abstract
Cost-effective electrochemical water splitting technology hinges on the development of efficient and durable catalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Spinel oxides (formula: AxB3-xO4) are structurally stable for real applications. Much effort has been devoted to improving the catalytic activity. Here, we report a eutectic dealloying strategy to activate the porous spinel NiFe2O4 nanowires with up to four metal cation substitutions. As-obtained spinel NiFeXO4 (X = Fe, Ni, Al, Mo, Co, Cr) delivers a benchmark current density of 10 mA·cm-2 at an overpotential of only 195 mV, outperforming most spinel phase OER electrocatalysts and comparable to the state-of-the-art NiFe hydroxides. It is stable for over 115 h of electrolysis. Aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy, high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy, and atomic-scale strain mappings reveal that the multivalent cation substitutions result in substantial lattice distortion and significant electronic coupling of metal 3d and O 2p orbitals for increased covalency. Further theoretical calculations suggest that the NiFeXO4 are stabilized by the high configurational entropy, and their synergy favors the absorption of H2O molecules and lowers the adsorption energy barrier of the OOH* intermediate. The improved intrinsic activity together with the highly nanoporous structures contribute to the appealing apparent catalytic performances. The work demonstrates an effective approach for the synthesis of stable multicomponent spinel oxides and highlights the effectiveness of the multication substitution strategy for producing highly durable and active spinel catalysts, which meet multiplexed structure and superior property requirements in practical applications.

Abstract
Rational design of facile and low-cost efficient electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is crucial to solve the energy crisis. Benefiting from in situ self-reconstruction from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to (oxy)hydroxides in alkaline electrolytes, MOFs have become alternative OER catalysts. Thus, Fe-doped Co-MOF nanosheets (Co-MOF/Fe) were prepared and utilized straightforwardly as OER electrocatalysts. CoFe-layered bimetallic hydroxides (CoFe-LDHs) with abundant active sites are obtained from in situ conversion of Co-MOF/Fe after etching by the KOH electrolyte, which are generally actual active species. Meanwhile, the introduction of Fe ions will also produce a synergistic effect that greatly improves the electrocatalytic OER performance. The optimized catalyst (Co-MOF/Fe10) shows exceptional OER activity (η10 = 260 mV) and excellent durability over 50 h. The outstanding OER performance of Co-MOF/Fe10 can also be reflected in the two-electrode hydrolyzer (1.57 V at 10 mA cm-2). This study offers a pathway to probe the catalytic mechanism of MOFs and the rational construction of efficient MOF-derived catalysts.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are regarded as one promising class of precatalysts for electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER), yet most of them suffer from poor conductivity and lack of coordinatively unsaturated metal sites, which hinders the fast electrochemical reconstruction and thus a poor OER activity. To address this issue, a unique heterocomposite has been constructed by in situ inserting carbon dots (CDs) into cobalt-based zeolitic imidazolate framework (Co-ZIF) nanosheet arrays (Co-ZIF/CDs/CC) in the presence of carbon cloth (CC) via one-pot coprecipitation for alkaline OER. Benefiting from the synergism between CDs and Co-ZIF subunits such as superior conductivity, strong charge interaction as well as abundant metal sites exposure, the Co-ZIF/CDs/CC exhibits an enhanced promotion effect for OER and contributes to the deep phase transformation from CDs-coupled Co-ZIF to CDs-coupled active CoOOH. As expected, the achieved Co-ZIF/CDs/CC only requires an overpotential of 226 mV to deliver 10 mA cm-2 in 1.0 M KOH, which is lower than that of Co-ZIF/CC and superior to most previously reported CC-supported MOF precatalysts. Moreover, it can also maintain a large current density of 100 mA cm-2 for 24 h with negligible activity decay.

Abstract
The development of non-noble metal-based electrocatalysts with high performance for hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction is highly desirable in advancing electrocatalytic water-splitting technology but proves to be challenging. One promising way to improve the catalytic activity is to tailor the d-band center. This approach can facilitate the adsorption of intermediates and promote the formation of active species on surfaces. This review summarizes the role and development of the d-band center of materials based on iron-series metals used in electrocatalytic water splitting. It mainly focuses on the influence of the change in the d-band centers of different composites of iron-based materials on the performance of electrocatalysis. First, the iron-series compounds that are commonly used in electrocatalytic water splitting are summarized. Then, the main factors affecting the electrocatalytic performances of these materials are described. Furthermore, the relationships among the above factors and the d-band centers of materials based on iron-series metals and the d-band center theory are introduced. Finally, conclusions and perspectives on remaining challenges and future directions are given. Such information can be helpful for adjusting the active centers of catalysts and improving electrochemical efficiencies in future works.

Abstract
High-entropy materials offer numerous advantages as catalysts, including a flexible composition to tune the catalytic activity and selectivity and a large variety of adsorption/reaction sites for multistep or multiple reactions. Herein, we report on the synthesis, properties, and electrocatalytic performance of an amorphous high-entropy boride based on abundant transition metals, CoFeNiMnZnB. This metal boride provides excellent performance toward the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), including a low overpotential of 261 mV at 10 mA cm-2, a reduced Tafel slope of 56.8 mV dec-1, and very high stability. The outstanding OER performance of CoFeNiMnZnB is attributed to the synergistic interactions between the different metals, the leaching of Zn ions, the generation of oxygen vacancies, and the in situ formation of an amorphous oxyhydroxide at the CoFeNiMnZnB surface during the OER.

Abstract
The electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) to ammonia (NH3 ) is a potentially carbon-neutral and decentralized supplement to the established Haber-Bosch process. Catalytic activation of the highly stable dinitrogen molecules remains a great challenge. Especially metal-free nitrogen-doped carbon catalysts do not often reach the desired selectivity and ammonia production rates due to their low concentration of NRR active sites and possible instability of heteroatoms under electrochemical potential, which can even contribute to false positive results. In this context, the electrochemical activation of nitrogen-doped carbon electrocatalysts is an attractive, but not yet established method to create NRR catalytic sites. Herein, a metal-free C2 N material (HAT-700) is electrochemically etched prior to application in NRR to form active edge-sites originating from the removal of terminal nitrile groups. Resulting activated metal-free HAT-700-A shows remarkable catalytic activity in electrochemical nitrogen fixation with a maximum Faradaic efficiency of 11.4% and NH3 yield of 5.86 µg mg-1 cat h-1 . Experimental results and theoretical calculations are combined, and it is proposed that carbon radicals formed during activation together with adjacent pyridinic nitrogen atoms play a crucial role in nitrogen adsorption and activation. The results demonstrate the possibility to create catalytically active sites on purpose by etching labile functional groups prior to NRR.

Abstract
A novel two-dimensional Co-MOF material {[Co(dptz)2(oba)2]·(DMF)2}n is prepared using mixed organic ligands, which exhibits both OER (oxygen evolution reaction) and HER (hydrogen evolution reaction) catalytic performance. The integration of an Fe dopant and amorphous interface into Co-MOF to improving the electrocatalytic performance of pristine MOFs (metal-organic frameworks) is demonstrated and the origin of the remarkable electrocatalytic performance of the catalyst is elucidated. The comprehensive characterization data of Fe@Co-MOFs illustrate that there is a crystallinity transition during the doping of Co-MOF, which increases the electron transfer rate of the material and ensures increased exposure of the ligand unsaturated active site on the surface, and modulates the electronic structure of the Co center in a synergistic manner. As a result, the optimized catalytic Fe@Co-MOF-3 with an amorphous structure exhibits outstanding electrocatalytic performance for the OER, with only 248 mV at a current density of 50 mA cm-2 and excellent stability after 11 h of testing in alkaline solution. Not only that, the HER was achieved with a low overpotential of 150 mV at 10 mA cm-2. The present work indicates that the as-synthesized Co-MOF and Fe@Co-MOFs offer prospects in developing electrocatalysts for water splitting.

Abstract
Cu-benzenehexathiol (Cu-BHT) has attracted significant attention due to its record high electrical conductivity and crystal defects Cu2c . However, the nonporous structure and small specific surface area of Cu-BHT with two-dimensional kagome lattice invariably limit its practical application in sensing and catalysis. In this work, Cu-BHT nanotubes (Cu-BHT-NTs) are designed and prepared via a facile homogeneous reaction to solve these problems. Compared with the traditional nanorod-like structure, the Cu-BHT-NTs not only have a higher specific surface area but also possess a higher proportion of crystal defects (66.6%). The successfully configured DPPTT/Cu-BHT-NTs heterostructure organic field-effect transistor (OFET)-based sensor exhibits excellent sensitivity as high as 13 610%, a minimum detection limits down to 5 ppb, and exceptional selectivity to nitric oxide (NO) toxic gases. Theoretical analysis systematically shows that Cu2c sites in the Cu-BHT-NTs increase the number of electrons transferred from the heterostructure to NO molecules, confirming that the high sensitivity and selectivity result from the high binding between Cu-BHT-NTs and NO molecules. Furthermore, a fully flexible device based on the heterojunction OFET sensor is prepared to ensure the convenience of wearing and carrying gas sensors, opening up a new avenue for the next generation of wearable intelligent electronics.

Abstract
This is the first time that the pore-space-partition (PSP) strategy is being successfully applied in the electrochemical field for water splitting, realizing the highly efficient construction of a series of ultrastable pristine MOF electrocatalysts. On integrating the vanadium-based trimetallic building cluster (M2V), the target M2V-MOFs exhibit excellent electrocatalytic activity for HER, OER, and water splitting. In particular, ultralow overpotentials of 314 and 198 mV for Fe2V-MOF as OER and HER electrocatalysts, respectively, can drive a current density of 10 mA cm-2. The fabricated Fe2V-MOF||Pt/C two-electrode configuration for the overall water splitting yields a current density of 10 mA cm-2 at only 1.6 V vs RHE, which is superior to that of the commercial IrO2||Pt/C couple. Notably, high structural and chemical stabilities still can be observed in alkaline condition. This work opens up an exciting pathway to design efficient and stable electrocatalysts based on pristine MOF by integrating the PSP strategy and multimetallic centers.

Abstract
In the field of photocatalysis, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have drawn a lot of attention. MOFs have a number of advantages over conventional semiconductors, including high specific surface area, large number of active sites, and an easily tunable porous structure. In this perspective review, different synthesis methods used to prepare MOFs and MOFs-based heterostructures have been discussed. Apart from this, the application of MOFs and MOFs-based heterostructures as photocatalysts for photocatalytic degradation of different types of pollutants have been compiled. This paper also highlights the different strategies that have been developed to modify and regulate pristine MOFs for improved photocatalytic performance. The MOFs modifications may result in better visible light absorption, effective photo-generated charge carriers (e-/h+), separation and transfer as well as improved recyclability. Despite that, there are still many obstacles and challenges that need to be addressed. In order to meet the requirements of using MOFs and MOFs-based heterostructures in photocatalysis for low-cost practical applications, future development and prospects have also been discussed.

Abstract
Metallopolymers combine the property features of both metallic compounds and organic polymers, representing a typical direction for the design of high-performance hybrid materials. Here, a highly adaptive etching method to create pores and cavities in the metallopolymer particles is established. Starting from boronate polymer (BP) and inorganic@BP core-shell particles, porous, hollow, and yolk-shell metallopolymer particles can be fabricated, respectively. By taking advantage of the easy control over composition and pore/cavity structure, these metallopolymer particles provide a universal platform for the fabrication of nitrogen, boron co-doped carbon nanocomposites loaded with metals (M-NBCs). The as-prepared M-NBCs exhibit remarkable catalytic activities toward oxygen evolution reaction and hydrogen evolution reaction. An alkaline overall water splitting cell assembled by using M-NBCs as the anode and cathode can be driven by a single AAA battery. The proposed strategy for the construction of metallopolymer composites may enlighten for the design of complex hybrid nanomaterials.

Abstract
The investigation of third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of coordination polymers (CPs) based on solid samples is very difficult but is crucial for practical applications. Herein, we show a method for preparing high optical quality CP films in a polymer matrix to study the third-order NLO performance of solid-state CPs. Two novel azobenzene-based CPs, [CdL(DMAc)(H2O)]n (1) and {[CuL(4,4'-azobpy)]·3H2O}n (2) (H2L = 5-((4-(phenyldiazenyl)phenoxy)methyl)isophthalic acid), were selected as study subjects. The corresponding microcrystals with a grain size of around 3 μm were doped into poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), forming CP films (1-MC/PVA and 2-MC/PVA). 1-MC/PVA and 2-MC/PVA exhibit NLO absorption switching behavior from saturable absorption (SA) to reverse saturable absorption (RSA) with increasing pulse energy. Moreover, their NLO properties can also be efficiently modulated by photostimulation energy due to the trans → cis isomerization of an azobenzene moiety. The density functional theory (DFT) results show that the narrower the band gap between the conduction band minimum and the valence band maximum, the denser the electron density distribution in the central mental and coordination atoms, which is beneficial to exhibit better third-order NLO performance. This work provides a feasible method for the wider practical application of solid materials with excellent third-order NLO performance.

Abstract
Two-dimensional metal-organic nanosheets (2D MONs) are an emerging class of ultrathin, porous, and crystalline materials. The organic/inorganic hybrid nature offers MONs distinct advantages over other inorganic nanosheets in terms of diversity of organic ligands and metal notes. Compared to bulk three-dimensional metal-organic frameworks, 2D MONs possess merits of high density and readily accessible catalytic sites, reduced diffusion pathways for reactants/products, and fast electron transport. These features endow MONs with enhanced physical/chemical properties and are ideal for heterogeneous catalysis. In this Review, state-of-the-art synthetic methods for the fabrication of 2D MONs were summarized. The advances of 2D MONs-based materials for electrocatalysis and photocatalysis, including hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2 RR), and electro-/photocatalytic organic transformations were systematically discussed. Finally, the challenges and perspectives regarding future design and synthesis of 2D MONs for high-performance electrocatalysis and photocatalysis were provided.

Abstract
Rationally designed catalysts hold the key to address the sluggish kinetics of oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, engineering the active sites of such catalysts still faces grand challenges. This study proposes a feasible ligand modulation strategy to boost the OER catalytic activity of cobalt-iron oxyhydroxide ((Fe,Co)OOH). The 2-methylimidazole (MI) ligand coordination on (Fe,Co)OOH reduces the orbital overlap between the Fe/Co 3d and O 2p, which weakens the adsorption to oxygen-containing intermediates and thus facilitates the unfavorable O2 desorption. As a result, the MI ligand modulated (Fe,Co)OOH achieves an excellent OER performance with low overpotentials (230/290 mV at 10/100 mA cm-2 ) and excellent durability (>155 h). This study provides a novel ligand modulation strategy for the design of OER catalysts.

Abstract
![]()
Metal–organic
frameworks (MOFs) have recently emerged as
ideal electrode materials and precursors for electrochemical energy
storage and conversion (EESC) owing to their large specific surface
areas, highly tunable porosities, abundant active sites, and diversified
choices of metal nodes and organic linkers. Both MOF-based and MOF-derived
materials in powder form have been widely investigated in relation
to their synthesis methods, structure and morphology controls, and
performance advantages in targeted applications. However, to engage
them for energy applications, both binders and additives would be
required to form postprocessed electrodes, fundamentally eliminating
some of the active sites and thus degrading the superior effects of
the MOF-based/derived materials. The advancement of freestanding electrodes
provides a new promising platform for MOF-based/derived materials
in EESC thanks to their apparent merits, including fast electron/charge
transmission and seamless contact between active materials and current
collectors. Benefiting from the synergistic effect of freestanding
structures and MOF-based/derived materials, outstanding electrochemical
performance in EESC can be achieved, stimulating the increasing enthusiasm
in recent years. This review provides a timely and comprehensive overview
on the structural features and fabrication techniques of freestanding
MOF-based/derived electrodes. Then, the latest advances in freestanding
MOF-based/derived electrodes are summarized from electrochemical energy
storage devices to electrocatalysis. Finally, insights into the currently
faced challenges and further perspectives on these feasible solutions
of freestanding MOF-based/derived electrodes for EESC are discussed,
aiming at providing a new set of guidance to promote their further
development in scale-up production and commercial applications.
