Tailored polysaccharide entrapping metal-organic framework for RNAi therapeutics and diagnostics in atherosclerosis. Bioact Mater 2025; 43:376-391. [PMID: 39399834 PMCID: PMC11470791 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2024.08.041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2024] [Revised: 08/26/2024] [Accepted: 08/29/2024] [Indexed: 10/15/2024] Open
Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) hold promise as theranostic carriers for atherosclerosis. However, to further advance their therapeutic effects with higher complexity and functionality, integrating multiple components with complex synthesis procedures are usually involved. Here, we reported a facile and general strategy to prepare multifunctional anti-atherosclerosis theranostic platform in a single-step manner. A custom-designed multifunctional polymer, poly(butyl methacrylate-co-methacrylic acid) branched phosphorylated β-glucan (PBMMA-PG), can effectively entrap different MOFs via coordination, simultaneously endow the MOF with enhanced stability, lesional macrophages selectivity and enhanced endosome escape. Sequential ex situ characterization and computational studies elaborated the potential mechanism. This facile post-synthetic modification granted the administered nanoparticles atherosclerotic tropism by targeting Dectin-1+ macrophages, enhancing in situ MR signal intensity by 72 %. Delivery of siNLRP3 effectively mitigated NLRP3 inflammasomes activation, resulting a 43 % reduction of plaque area. Overall, the current study highlights a simple and general approach for fabricating a MOF-based theranostic platform towards atherosclerosis conditioning, which may also expand to other indications targeting the lesional macrophages.

Abstract
Ti-based Metal-organic frameworks (Ti-MOF) have been extensively investigated for producing hydrogen via solar water splitting, while their intrinsic activities are still retarded by the poor performance of photocarriers separation and utilization. Herein, a donor-acceptor (D-A) supramolecular photocatalyst is successfully constructed via encapsulating fullerene (C60) into MIL-125-NH2 and meanwhile depositing individual Pt atoms as cocatalyst. The as-prepared C60@MIL-125-NH2-Pt exhibits remarkable activity in photocatalytic water splitting, with a H2 formation rate of 1180 μmol g-1 h-1, which is ∼ 12 times higher than that of the pristine MIL-125-NH2. Further investigations indicate that the host-guest interactions between C60 and MIL-125-NH2 strengthen the built-in electric field, which greatly facilitates the separation and migration of photogenerated charge carriers. In addition, the cocatalyst of individual Pt atoms not only further promotes the separation and transport of carriers but also enhances the contact between water and the catalyst. All of these factors directly contribute to the superior activity of C60@MIL-125-NH2-Pt. This work provides a new perspective for constructing D-A supramolecular photocatalysts for enhanced charge separation and making full use of photoelectrons to realize efficient hydrogen production.

Abstract
Photocatalytic overall water splitting holds great promise for solar-to-hydrogen conversion. Maintaining charge separation is a major challenge but is key to unlocking this potential. Here we discovered a metal-organic framework (MOF) that shows suppressed charge recombination. This MOF features electronically insulated Zn2+ nodes and two chemically equivalent, yet crystallographically independent, linkers. These linkers behave as an electron donor-acceptor pair with non-overlapping band edges. Upon photoexcitation, the MOF undergoes a dynamic excited-state structural twist, inducing orbital rearrangements that forbid radiative relaxation and thereby promote a long-lived charge-separated state. As a result, the MOF achieves visible-light photocatalytic overall water splitting, in the presence of co-catalysts, with an apparent quantum efficiency of 3.09 ± 0.32% at 365 nm and shows little activity loss in 100 h of consecutive runs. Furthermore, the dynamic excited-state structural twist is also successfully extended to other photocatalysts. This strategy for suppressing charge recombination will be applicable to diverse photochemical processes beyond overall water splitting.

Multimaterial Digital-Light Processing of Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) Composites: A Versatile Tool for the Rapid Microfabrication of MOF-Based Devices. ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2024:e2408770.

Abstract
Patterning Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) is essential for their use in sensing, electronics, photonics, and encryption technologies. However, current lithography methods are limited in their ability to pattern more than two MOFs, hindering the potential for creating advanced multifunctional surfaces. Additionally, balancing design flexibility, simplicity, and cost often results in compromises. This study addresses these challenges by combining Digital-Light Processing (DLP) with a capillary-assisted stop-flow system to enable multimaterial MOF patterning. It demonstrates the desktop fabrication of multiplexed arbitrary micropatterns across cm-scale areas while preserving the MOF's pore accessibility. The ink, consisting of a MOF crystal suspension in a low volatile solvent, a mixture of high molecular weight oligomers, and a photoinitiator, is confined by capillarity in the DLP projection area and quickly exchanged using syringe pumps. The versatility of this method is demonstrated by the direct printing of a ZIF-8-based luminescent oxygen sensor, a 5-component dynamic information concealment method, and a PCN-224-based colorimetric sensor for amines, covering disparate pore and analyte sizes. The multi-MOF capabilities, simplicity, and accessibility of this strategy pave the way for the facile exploration of MOF materials across a wide range of applications, with the potential to significantly accelerate the design-to-application cycle of MOF-based devices.

Antibiotic-free ocular sterilization while suppressing immune response to protect corneal transparency in infectious keratitis treatment. J Control Release 2024; 374:563-576. [PMID: 39186983 DOI: 10.1016/j.jconrel.2024.08.038] [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: 05/06/2024] [Revised: 08/15/2024] [Accepted: 08/23/2024] [Indexed: 08/28/2024]
Abstract
Clinical guidelines for infectious keratitis treatment require that anti-inflammatory drugs can only be used after infection elimination, which causes irreversible inflammatory damage to the cornea. In this work, photodynamic metal organic frameworks (PCN-224) were used as drug carrier to load Pt NPs with catalase-like activity and anti-inflammatory drug (Dexamethasone, DXMS) for endogenous oxygen generation and reduced corneal damage, respectively. The photodynamic therapy (PDT) effect was greatly enhanced in bacteria elimination and bacterial biofilms removal through catalysis of overexpressed hydrogen peroxide (H2O2, ∼8.0 and 31.0 μM in bacterial solution and biofilms, respectively) into oxygen by Pt NPs. More importantly, the cationic liposome modified PCN-224@Pt@DXMS@Liposomes (PPDL NPs) greatly enhanced the adhesion to negatively charged ocular surface and penetration into corneal barrier and bacterial biofilms. Both in vitro cell viability test and in vivo eye irritation tests proved good biocompatibility of PPDL NPs under 660 nm laser irradiation. Furthermore, PDT of PPDL NPs in rapid bacteria killing was verified through infectious keratitis animal model. The superior bactericidal effect of antibacterial materials could largely replace the bactericidal effect of the immune system. It is worth mentioning that this simultaneous sterilization and anti-inflammation treatment mode is a new exploration against the clinical treatment guidelines.

Abstract
Photocatalysis is a versatile and rapidly developing field with applications spanning artificial photosynthesis, photo-biocatalysis, photoredox catalysis in solution or supramolecular structures, utilization of abundant metals and organocatalysts, sustainable synthesis, and plastic degradation. In this Perspective, we summarize conclusions from an interdisciplinary workshop of young principal investigators held at the Lorentz Center in Leiden in March 2023. We explore how diverse fields within photocatalysis can benefit from one another. We delve into the intricate interplay between these subdisciplines, by highlighting the unique challenges and opportunities presented by each field and how a multidisciplinary approach can drive innovation and lead to sustainable solutions for the future. Advanced collaboration and knowledge exchange across these domains can further enhance the potential of photocatalysis. Artificial photosynthesis has become a promising technology for solar fuel generation, for instance, via water splitting or CO2 reduction, while photocatalysis has revolutionized the way we think about assembling molecular building blocks. Merging such powerful disciplines may give rise to efficient and sustainable protocols across different technologies. While photocatalysis has matured and can be applied in industrial processes, a deeper understanding of complex mechanisms is of great importance to improve reaction quantum yields and to sustain continuous development. Photocatalysis is in the perfect position to play an important role in the synthesis, deconstruction, and reuse of molecules and materials impacting a sustainable future. To exploit the full potential of photocatalysis, a fundamental understanding of underlying processes within different subfields is necessary to close the cycle of use and reuse most efficiently. Following the initial interactions at the Lorentz Center Workshop in 2023, we aim to stimulate discussions and interdisciplinary approaches to tackle these challenges in diverse future teams.

Abstract
Artificial photocatalytic energy conversion is a very interesting strategy to solve energy crises and environmental problems by directly collecting solar energy, but low photocatalytic conversion efficiency is a bottleneck that restricts the practical application of photocatalytic reactions. The key issue is that the photo-generated charge separation process spans a huge spatio-temporal scale from femtoseconds to seconds, and involves complex physical processes from microscopic atoms to macroscopic materials. Femtosecond transient absorption (fs-TA) spectroscopy is a powerful tool for studying electron transfer paths in photogenerated carrier dynamics of photocatalysts. By extracting the attenuation characteristics of the spectra, the quenching path and lifetimes of carriers can be simulated on femtosecond and picosecond time scales. This paper introduces the principle of transient absorption, typical dynamic processes and the application of femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy in photocatalysis, and summarizes the bottlenecks faced by ultrafast spectroscopy in photocatalytic applications, as well as future research directions and solutions. This will provide inspiration for understanding the charge transfer mechanism of photocatalytic processes.

Abstract
Assembly of different metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) into hybrid MOF-on-MOF heterostructures has been established as a promising approach to develop synergistic performances for a variety of applications. Here, we explore the performance of a MOF-on-MOF heterostructure by epitaxial growth of MIL-88B(Fe) onto UiO-66(Zr)-NH2 nanoparticles. The face-selective design and appropriate energy band structure alignment of the selected MOF constituents have permitted its application as an active heterogeneous photocatalyst for solar-driven water splitting. The composite achieves apparent quantum yields for photocatalytic overall water splitting at 400 and 450 nm of about 0.9%, values that compare much favorably with previous analogous reports. Understanding of this high activity has been gained by spectroscopic and electrochemical characterization together with scanning transmission and transmission electron microscopy (STEM, TEM) measurements. This study exemplifies the possibility of developing a MOF-on-MOF heterostructure that operates under a Z-scheme mechanism and exhibits outstanding activity toward photocatalytic water splitting under solar light.

Abstract
Inspired by enzymatic catalysis, it is crucial to construct hydrogen-bonding-rich microenvironment around catalytic sites; unfortunately, its precise construction and understanding how the distance between such microenvironment and catalytic sites affects the catalysis remain significantly challenging. In this work, a series of metal-organic framework (MOF)-based single-atom Ru1 catalysts, namely, Ru1/UiO-67-X (X = -H, -m-(NH2)2, -o-(NH2)2), have been synthesized, where the distance between the hydrogen-bonding microenvironment and Ru1 sites is modulated by altering the location of amino groups. The -NH2 group can form hydrogen bonds with H2O, constituting a unique microenvironment that causes an increased water concentration around the Ru1 sites. Remarkably, Ru1/UiO-67-o-(NH2)2 displays a superior photocatalytic hydrogen production rate, ∼4.6 and ∼146.6 times of Ru1/UiO-67-m-(NH2)2 and Ru1/UiO-67, respectively. Both experimental and computational results suggest that the close proximity of amino groups to the Ru1 sites in Ru1/UiO-67-o-(NH2)2 improves charge transfer and H2O dissociation, accounting for the promoted photocatalytic hydrogen production.

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
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been developed as an ideal platform for exploration of the relationship between intrinsic structure and catalytic activity, but the limited catalytic activity and stability has hampered their practical use in water splitting. Herein, we develop a bond length adjustment strategy for optimizing naphthalene-based MOFs that synthesized by acid etching Co-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid-based MOFs (donated as AE-CoNDA) to serve as efficient catalyst for water splitting. AE-CoNDA exhibits a low overpotential of 260 mV to reach 10 mA cm-2 and a small Tafel slope of 62 mV dec-1 with excellent stability over 100 h. After integrated AE-CoNDA onto BiVO4, photocurrent density of 4.3 mA cm-2 is achieved at 1.23 V. Experimental investigations demonstrate that the stretched Co-O bond length was found to optimize the orbitals hybridization of Co 3d and O 2p, which accounts for the fast kinetics and high activity. Theoretical calculations reveal that the stretched Co-O bond length strengthens the adsorption of oxygen-contained intermediates at the Co active sites for highly efficient water splitting.

Abstract
Two-dimensional metal-organic nanosheets (MONs) have emerged as attractive alternatives to their three-dimensional metal-organic framework (MOF) counterparts for heterogeneous catalysis due to their greater external surface areas and higher accessibility of catalytically active sites. Zr MONs are particularly prized because of their chemical stability and high Lewis and Brønsted acidities of the Zr clusters. Herein, we show that careful control over modulated self-assembly and exfoliation conditions allows the isolation of the first example of a two-dimensional nanosheet wherein Zr6 clusters are linked by dicarboxylate ligands. The hxl topology MOF, termed GUF-14 (GUF = Glasgow University Framework), can be exfoliated into monolayer thickness hns topology MONs, and acid-induced removal of capping modulator units yields MONs with enhanced catalytic activity toward the formation of imines and the hydrolysis of an organophosphate nerve agent mimic. The discovery of GUF-14 serves as a valuable example of the undiscovered MOF/MON structural diversity extant in established metal-ligand systems that can be accessed by harnessing the power of modulated self-assembly protocols.

Abstract
The energy gap and conduction band position of catalysts play crucial roles in solar-to-hydrogen (STH) transformation technology. Unfortunately, although an increase in the conduction band position can effectively promote the photoreduction capacity of the photocatalyst, it will inevitably widen the band gap, thus reducing the light-absorption scale. It seems that there is a contradiction between the reduction of band gap and the improvement of conduction band position, which is that "You can't have your cake and eat it too." Herein, an ultrasimple molecular adsorption strategy was engineered by adsorbing hydrazine hydrate on the surface of TiO2. The theoretical and experimental results indicated that the strong electron-donating effect of amino groups in hydrazine hydrate can promote the redistribution of photogenerated electrons and form surface electron networks on the surface of TiO2 photocatalysts, which can bend the conduction band upward and significantly improve its photoreduction ability. Besides, the adsorption of -NH2 can narrow the band gap width of TiO2 and promote the separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers. More interestingly, it can also effectively enhance the adsorption of H2O and H+, thus greatly elevating the STH efficiency. The STH rate of the as-prepared T-N-3 can be increased by ≈530%. This work sheds light on a new approach for resolving the contradiction between photoreduction and light absorption capabilities to effectively enhance photocatalytic performance.

Abstract
The development of artificial photosynthesis systems that mimics natural photosynthesis can help address the issue of energy scarcity by efficiently utilizing solar energy. Here, it presents liposomes-based artificial photosynthetic nanocapsules (PSNC) integrating photocatalytic, chemical catalytic, and biocatalytic systems through one-pot method. The PSNC contains 5,10,15,20-tetra(4-pyridyl) cobalt-porphyrin, tridipyridyl-ruthenium nitrate, oligo-pphenyl-ethylene-rhodium complex, and creatine kinase, efficiently generating oxygen, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), and adenosine triphosphate with remarkable enhancements of 231%, 30%, and 86%, compared with that of molecules mixing in aqueous solution. Additionally, the versatile PSNC enables simulation of light-independent reactions, achieving a controllable output of various target products. The regenerated NADH within PSNC further facilitates alcohol dehydrogenase, yielding methanol with a notable efficiency improvement of 37%. This work introduces a promising platform for sustainable solar energy conversion and the simultaneous synthesis of multiple valuable products in an ingenious and straightforward way.

Abstract
As society progresses and industrializes, the issue of water pollution, caused by a wide array of organic and inorganic pollutants, poses significant risks to both human well-being and the environment. Given its distinctive characteristics, water pollution has become a paramount concern for society, necessitating immediate attention. Numerous studies have been conducted on wastewater treatment, primarily focusing on two key approaches: adsorption and photocatalytic degradation. Adsorption offers unparalleled advantages, including its simplicity, high removal efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Conversely, photocatalysis harnesses abundant, clean, and non-polluting sunlight, addressing the critical issue of energy scarcity. Porphyrins, which are macrocyclic tetrapyrrole derivatives found widely in nature, have attracted growing interest in recent years. These lipophilic pigments exhibit remarkable chemical stability and have retained their major structural features for up to 1.1 billion years. As such, they are considered vital indicators of life and have been extensively studied, from the remnants of extinct organisms to gain insights into the principles of evolution. Porphyrins are often associated with a central metal ion within their ring system and can be modified through various substituents, including additional rings or ring opening, resulting in a wide range of functionalities. This comprehensive review summarizes recent advancements in the field of porphyrins. It begins by introducing the structures and preparation methods of porphyrins. Subsequently, it delves into notable applications of porphyrins in the context of pollutant adsorption in water and their environmentally friendly photocatalytic degradation.

Abstract
Nature uses reactive components embedded in biological membranes to perform light-driven photosynthesis. Here, a model artificial photosynthetic system for light-driven hydrogen (H2 ) evolution is reported. The system is based on liposomes where amphiphilic ruthenium trisbipyridine based photosensitizer (RuC9 ) and the H2 evolution reaction (HER) catalyst [Mo3 S13 ]2- are embedded in biomimetic phospholipid membranes. When DMPC was used as the main lipid of these light-active liposomes, increased catalytic activity (TONCAT ~200) was observed compared to purely aqueous conditions. Although all tested lipid matrixes, including DMPC, DOPG, DPPC and DOPG liposomes provided similar liposomal structures according to TEM analysis, only DMPC yielded high H2 amounts. In situ scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) measurements using Pd microsensors revealed an induction period of around 26 minutes prior to H2 evolution, indicating an activation mechanism which might be induced by the fluid-gel phase transition of DMPC at room temperature. Stern-Volmer-type quenching studies revealed that electron transfer dynamics from the excited state photosensitizer are most efficient in the DMPC lipid environment giving insight for design of artificial photosynthetic systems using lipid bilayer membranes.

Abstract
Herein, combining density functional theory (DFT) calculations with nonadiabatic molecular dynamics (NAMD), we built a computational framework to rationally screen from a series of 2D conjugated carbon nitrides (CNs) to match with B4C3, resulting in the excellent direct Z-scheme photocatalyst (B4C3/C6N6) for overall water splitting (OWS). Studies on interface engineering and ultrafast dynamics of carrier recombination-transfer show that in the B4C3/C6N6 system, compared with the slower interlayer migration process of carriers, strong nonadiabatic coupling and longer quantum decoherence time accelerates weak carrier interlayer recombination on a subpicosecond time scale, enabling simultaneous triggering of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) with ΔG = -0.23 eV and spontaneous oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in the absence of sacrificial or cocatalysts. In general, our work will promote the design of efficient direct Z-scheme photocatalysts from an ultrafast dynamics perspective.

Abstract
Artificial photosynthesis aims to produce fuels and chemicals from simple building blocks (i.e. water and carbon dioxide) using sunlight as energy source. Achieving effective photocatalytic systems necessitates a comprehensive understanding of the underlying mechanisms and factors that control the reactivity. This review underscores the growing interest in utilizing bioinspired artificial vesicles to develop compartmentalized photocatalytic systems. Herein, we summarize different scaffolds employed to develop artificial vesicles, and discuss recent examples where such systems are used to study pivotal processes of artificial photosynthesis, including light harvesting, charge transfer, and fuel production. These systems offer valuable lessons regarding the appropriate choice of membrane scaffolds, reaction partners and spatial arrangement to enhance photocatalytic activity, selectivity and efficiency. These studies highlight the pivotal role of the membrane to increase the stability of the immobilized reaction partners, generate a suitable local environment, and force proximity between electron donor and acceptor molecules (or catalysts and photosensitizers) to increase electron transfer rates. Overall, these findings pave the way for further development of bioinspired photocatalytic systems for compartmentalized artificial photosynthesis.

[PMID: 37866137 PMCID: PMC10623364 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2023.106650] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2023] [Revised: 10/10/2023] [Accepted: 10/12/2023] [Indexed: 10/24/2023]
Abstract
Sonophotocatalysis has garnered significant attention due to its potential to enhance advanced oxidation processes, particularly water splitting, by employing materials with combined sonocatalytic and photocatalytic properties. In this study, we synthesized and investigated core-shell BaTiO3@SrTiO3 nanowires (BST NWs) with varying Sr/Ba molar ratios (2.5:7.5, 5.0:5.0, 7.5:2.5 mM, denoted as BST-1, BST-2, and BST-3, respectively) as catalysts for hydrogen production through water splitting. The piezoelectric nanowires demonstrated hydrogen evolution via both sonocatalysis and photocatalysis. In the sonophotocatalysis process, the ultrasonic vibration induced mechanical forces on the BST nanowires, thereby establishing a built-in electric field. This built-in electric field facilitated the effective separation of photo-generated charge carriers and prolonged their lifetimes, leading to a synergistic enhancement of hydrogen evolution. The pristine BaTiO3 and SrTiO3 nanowires exhibited relatively low hydrogen evolution rates (HER) of 7.0 and 6.0 µmol·g-1min-1, respectively. In contrast, the core-shell nanowires exhibited a substantial improvement in the hydrogen evolution rate. The HER increased with the addition of Sr, and BST-1, BST-2, and BST-3 achieved HERs of 12.0, 13.5, and 18.0 µmol·g-1min-1, respectively. The superior performance of BST-3 nanowires can be attributed to their highest piezoelectric potential and largest surface area. Additionally, BST-3 nanowires demonstrated remarkable stability over multiple cycles, validating their practical applicability as efficient photocatalysts.

Abstract
While the microenvironment around catalytic sites is recognized to be crucial in thermocatalysis, its roles in photocatalysis remain subtle. In this work, a series of sandwich-structured metal-organic framework (MOF) composites, UiO-66-NH2 @Pt@UiO-66-X (X means functional groups), is rationally constructed for visible-light photocatalytic H2 production. By varying the ─X groups of the UiO-66-X shell, the microenvironment of the Pt sites and photosensitive UiO-66-NH2 core can be simultaneously modulated. Significantly, the MOF composites with identical light absorption and Pt loading present distinctly different photocatalytic H2 production rates, following the ─X group sequence of ─H > ─Br > ─NA (naphthalene) > ─OCH3 > ─Cl > ─NO2 . UiO-66-NH2 @Pt@UiO-66-H demonstrates H2 production rate up to 2708.2 µmol g-1 h-1 , ≈222 times that of UiO-66-NH2 @Pt@UiO-66-NO2 . Mechanism investigations suggest that the variation of the ─X group can balance the charge separation of the UiO-66-NH2 core and the proton reduction ability of Pt, leading to an optimal activity of UiO-66-NH2 @Pt@UiO-66-H at the equilibrium point.

Abstract
High-performance thermogalvanic cells have the potential to convert thermal energy into electricity, but their effectiveness is limited by the low concentration difference of redox ions. We report an in situ photocatalytically enhanced redox reaction that generates hydrogen and oxygen to realize a continuous concentration gradient of redox ions in thermogalvanic devices. A linear relation between thermopower and hydrogen production rate was established as an essential design principle for devices. The system exhibited a thermopower of 8.2 millivolts per kelvin and a solar-to-hydrogen efficiency of up to 0.4%. A large-area generator (112 square centimeters) consisting of 36 units yielded an open-circuit voltage of 4.4 volts and a power of 20.1 milliwatts, as well 0.5 millimoles of hydrogen and 0.2 millimoles of oxygen after 6 hours of outdoor operation.

Abstract
The modularity and synthetic flexibility of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have provoked analogies with enzymes, and even the term MOFzymes has been coined. In this review, we focus on molecular catalysis of energy relevance in MOFs, more specifically water oxidation, oxygen and carbon dioxide reduction, as well as hydrogen evolution in context of the MOF-enzyme analogy. Similar to enzymes, catalyst encapsulation in MOFs leads to structural stabilization under turnover conditions, while catalyst motifs that are synthetically out of reach in a homogeneous solution phase may be attainable as secondary building units in MOFs. Exploring the unique synthetic possibilities in MOFs, specific groups in the second and third coordination sphere around the catalytic active site have been incorporated to facilitate catalysis. A key difference between enzymes and MOFs is the fact that active site concentrations in the latter are often considerably higher, leading to charge and mass transport limitations in MOFs that are more severe than those in enzymes. High catalyst concentrations also put a limit on the distance between catalysts, and thus the available space for higher coordination sphere engineering. As transport is important for MOF-borne catalysis, a system perspective is chosen to highlight concepts that address the issue. A detailed section on transport and light-driven reactivity sets the stage for a concise review of the currently available literature on utilizing principles from Nature and system design for the preparation of catalytic MOF-based materials.

Abstract
The structures of anode materials significantly affect their properties in rechargeable batteries. Material nanosizing and electrode integrity are both beneficial for performance enhancement of batteries, but it is challenging to guarantee optimized nanosizing particles and high structural integrity simultaneously. Herein, a programmable assembly strategy of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is used to construct a Sn-based MOF superstructure precursor. After calcination under inert atmosphere, the as-fabricated Sn3 (PO4 )2 @phosphorus doped carbon (Sn3 (PO4 )2 @PC-48) well inherited the morphology of Sn-MOF superstructure precursor. The resultant new material exhibits appreciable reversible capacity and low capacity degradation for K+ storage (144.0 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1 with 90.1% capacity retained after 10000 cycles) and Na+ storage (202.5 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1 with 96.0% capacity retained after 8000 cycles). Detailed characterizations, density functional theory calculations, and finite element analysis simulations reveal that the optimized electronic structure and the stress-dispersed superstructure morphology of Sn3 (PO4 )2 @PC promote the electronic conductivity, enhance K+ / Na+ binding ability and improve the structure stabilization efficiently. This strategy to optimize the structure of anode materials by controlling the MOF growth process offer new dimension to regulate the materials precisely in the energy field.

Abstract
Cellular microstructures form naturally in many living organisms (e.g., flowers and leaves) to provide vital functions in synthesis, transport of nutrients, and regulation of growth. Although heterogeneous cellular microstructures are believed to play pivotal roles in their three-dimensional (3D) shape formation, programming 3D curved mesosurfaces with cellular designs remains elusive in man-made systems. We report a rational microlattice design that allows transformation of 2D films into programmable 3D curved mesosurfaces through mechanically guided assembly. Analytical modeling and a machine learning-based computational approach serve as the basis for shape programming and determine the heterogeneous 2D microlattice patterns required for target 3D curved surfaces. About 30 geometries are presented, including both regular and biological mesosurfaces. Demonstrations include a conformable cardiac electronic device, a stingray-like dual mode actuator, and a 3D electronic cell scaffold.

Abstract
The development of methodologies for inducing and tailoring activities of catalysts is an important issue in various catalysis. The ultrathin 2D monolayer metal-organic framework (MOF) nanosheets with more accessible active sites and faster diffusion obtained by exfoliating 3D layered MOFs are of great potential as heterogeneous catalysts, but the rational design and preparation of 3D layered MOFs remains a grand challenge. Herein, a novel weak electrostatic interaction strategy to construct a 3D layered cerium-bearing MOF by coordinating chlorine-capped cerium nodes and linear photoactive methyl viologen (MV+ ) organic linkers is used. Under multiphoton excitation, the MV+ ligands and CeCl chromophores are triggered consecutively to form the high activity chlorine radical (Cl• ) for activation of inert C(sp3 )H bond through a hydrogen atom transfer. Benefiting from framework confinement effects, synergistic effects of two active sites and/or flexibility of the ultrathin framework nanosheets with high surface utilization, the observed activities increase in the order CeCl3 /MV+ < bulk 3D MOF crystals < 2D MOF nanosheets in photocatalysis. This work not only contributes a new strategy to construct 3D layered MOFs and their ultrathin nanosheets but also paves the way to use nanostructured MOFs to handle synergy of multiple molecular catalysts.

Abstract
We demonstrate a general strategy for the synthesis of ordered bicontinuous-structured metal organic frameworks (MOFs) by using polymer cubosomes (PCs) with a double primitive structure (Im 3 ‾ ${\bar{3}}$ m symmetry) as the template. The filling of MOF precursors in the open channel of PCs, followed by their coordination and removal of the template, generates MOF cubosomes with a single primitive topology (Pm 3 ‾ ${\bar{3}}$ m) and average mesopore diameters of 60-65 nm. Mechanism study reveals that the formation of ZIF-8 cubosomes undergoes a new MOF growth process, which involves the formation of individual MOF seeds in the template, their growth and eventual fusion into the cubosomes. Their growth kinetics follows the Avrami equation with an Avrami exponent of n=3 and a growth rate of k=1.33×10-4 , indicating their fast 3D heterogeneous growth mode. Serving as a bioreactor, the ZIF-8 cubosomes show high loading of trypsin enzyme, leading to a high catalytic activity in the proteolysis of bovine serum albumin.

Metal-Organic Framework Derived Ni 2P/FeP@NPC Heterojunction as Stability Bifunctional Electrocatalysts for Large Current Density Water Splitting. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28052280. [PMID: 36903526 PMCID: PMC10005255 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28052280] [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: 01/12/2023] [Revised: 02/06/2023] [Accepted: 02/21/2023] [Indexed: 03/05/2023] Open
Abstract
The construction of heterojunction has been widely accepted as a prospective strategy for the exploration of non-precious metal-based catalysts that possess high-performance to achieve electrochemical water splitting. Herein, we design and prepare a metal-organic framework derived N, P-doped-carbon-encapsulated Ni2P/FeP nanorod with heterojunction (Ni2P/FeP@NPC) for accelerating the water splitting and working stably at industrially relevant high current densities. Electrochemical results confirmed that Ni2P/FeP@NPC could both accelerate the hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions. It could substantially expedite the overall water splitting (1.94 V for 100 mA cm-2) which is close to the performance of RuO2 and the Pt/C couple (1.92 V for 100 mA cm-2). In particular, the durability test exhibited that Ni2P/FeP@NPC delivers 500 mA cm-2 without decay after 200 h, demonstrating the great potential for large-scale applications. Furthermore, the density functional theory simulations demonstrated that the heterojunction interface could give rise to the redistribution of electrons, which could not only optimize the adsorption energy of H-containing intermediates to achieve the optimal ΔGH* in a hydrogen evolution reaction, but also reduce the ΔG value in the rate-determining step of an oxygen evolution reaction, thus improving the HER/OER performance.

Abstract
We focus on a novel concept of photosynthetic soft membranes, possibly able to allow the conversion of solar energy and carbon dioxide (CO[Formula: see text]) into green fuels. The considered membranes rely on self-assembled functional molecules in the form of soap films. We elaborate a multi-scale and multi-physics model to describe the relevant phenomena, investigating the expected performance of a single soft photosynthetic membrane. First, we present a macroscale continuum model, which accounts for the transport of gaseous and ionic species within the soap film, the chemical equilibria and the two involved photocatalytic half reactions of the CO[Formula: see text] reduction and water oxidation at the two gas-surfactant-water interfaces of the soap film. Second, we introduce a mesoscale discrete Monte Carlo model, to deepen the investigation of the structure of the functional monolayers. Finally, the morphological information obtained at the mesoscale is integrated into the continuum model in a multi-scale framework. The developed tools are then used to perform sensitivity studies in a wide range of possible experimental conditions, to provide scenarios on fuel production by such a novel approach.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are an emerging type of crystalline and porous photocatalysts for hydrogen evolution, however, the overall water splitting activity of COFs is rarely known. In this work, we firstly realized overall water splitting activity of β-ketoamine COFs by systematically engineering N-sites, architecture, and morphology. By in situ incorporating sub-nanometer platinum (Pt) nanoparticles co-catalyst into the pores of COFs nanosheets, both Pt@TpBpy-NS and Pt@TpBpy-2-NS show visible-light-driven overall water splitting activity, with the optimal H2 and O2 evolution activities of 9.9 and 4.8 μmol in 5 h for Pt@TpBpy-NS, respectively, and a maximum solar-to-hydrogen efficiency of 0.23%. The crucial factors affecting the activity including N-sites position, nano morphology, and co-catalyst distribution were systematically explored. Further mechanism investigation reveals the tiny diversity of N sites in COFs that induces great differences in electron transfer as well as reaction potential barriers.

Abstract
Designing heterojunction photocatalysts imitating natural photosynthetic systems has been a promising approach for photocatalytic hydrogen generation. However, in the traditional Z-Scheme artificial photosynthetic systems, the poor charge separation, and rapid recombination of photogenerated carriers remain a huge bottleneck. To rationally design S-Scheme (i.e., Step scheme) heterojunctions by avoiding the futile charge transport routes is therefore seen as an attractive approach to achieving high hydrogen evolution rates. Herein, a twin S-scheme heterojunction is proposed involving graphitic C3 N4 nanosheets self-assembled with hydrogen-doped rutile TiO2 nanorods and anatase TiO2 nanoparticles. This catalyst shows an excellent photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate of 62.37 mmol g-1 h-1 and high apparent quantum efficiency of 45.9% at 365 nm. The significant enhancement of photocatalytic performance is attributed to the efficient charge separation and transfer induced by the unique twin S-scheme structure. The charge transfer route in the twin S-scheme is confirmed by in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electron spin resonance (ESR) spin-trapping tests. Femtosecond transient absorption (fs-TA) spectroscopy, transient-state surface photovoltage (TPV), and other ex situ characterizations further corroborate the efficient charge transport across the catalyst interface. This work offers a new perspective on constructing artificial photosynthetic systems with S-scheme heterojunctions to enhance photocatalytic performance.

Abstract
Syngas, a mixture of CO and H2 , is a high-priority intermediate for producing several commodity chemicals, e.g., ammonia, methanol, and synthetic hydrocarbon fuels. Accordingly, parallel sunlight-driven catalytic conversion of CO2 and protons to syngas is a key step toward a sustainable energy cycle. State-of-the-art catalytic systems and materials often fall short as application-oriented concurrent CO and H2 evolution requires challenging reaction conditions which can hamper stability, selectivity, and efficiency. Here a light-harvesting metal-organic framework hosting two molecular catalysts is engineered to yield colloidal, water-stable, versatile nanoreactors for photocatalytic syngas generation with highly controllable product ratios. In-depth fluorescence, X-ray, and microscopic studies paired with kinetic analysis show that the host delivers energy efficiently to active sites, conceptually yielding nanozymes. This unlocked sustained CO2 reduction and H2 evolution with benchmark turnover numbers and record incident photon conversions up to 36%, showcasing a highly active and durable all-in-one material toward application in solar energy-driven syngas generation.

Abstract
Substantial overpotentials and insufficient and unstable active sites of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts limit their efficiency and stability in OER-related energy conversion and storage technologies. Here, a template editing strategy is proposed to graft highly active catalytic species onto highly conductive rigid frameworks to tackle this challenge. As a successful attempt, two types of NiO6 units of layered Ni BDC (BDC stands for 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid) metal organic frameworks are selectively edited by chemical etching-assisted electroxidation to create layered γ-NiOOH with intercalated Ni-O species. In such an interlayer-confined intercalated architecture, the large interlayer space with high ion permeability offers an ideal reaction region to sufficiently expose the OER active sites comprising high-density intercalated Ni-O species, which also suppresses the undesirable γ to β phase transformation, thus exhibiting efficient and durable OER activity. As a result, water oxidation can occur at an extremely low overpotential of 130 mV and affords 1000 h stability at 100 mA cm-2 . The strategy conceptually shows the possibility of achieving stable homogeneous-like catalysis in heterogeneous catalysis.

Abstract
Materials enabling solar energy conversion and long-term storage for readily available electrical and chemical energy are key for off-grid energy distribution. Herein, the specific confinement of a rhenium coordination complex in a metal-organic framework (MOF) unlocks a unique electron accumulating property under visible-light irradiation. About 15 C gMOF -1 of electric charges can be concentrated and stored for over four weeks without loss. Decoupled, on-demand discharge for electrochemical reactions and H2 evolution catalysis is shown and light-driven recharging can be conducted for >10 cycles with ≈90% of the initial charging capacity retained. Experimental investigations and theoretical calculations link electron trapping to MOF-induced geometry constraints as well as the coordination environment of the Re-center, highlighting the key role of MOF confinement on molecular guests. This study serves as the seminal report on 3D porous colloids achieving photoaccumulation of long-lived electrons, unlocking dark photocatalysis, and a path toward solar capacitor and solar battery systems.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) represent a novel class of crystalline inorganic-organic hybrid materials with tunable semiconducting behavior. MOFs have potential for application in photocatalysis to produce sustainable solar fuels, owing to their unique structural advantages (such as clarity and modifiability) that can facilitate a deeper understanding of the structure-activity relationship in photocatalysis. This review takes the photocatalytic active sites as a particular perspective, summarizing the progress of MOF-based photocatalysis for solar fuel production; mainly including three categories of solar-chemical conversions, photocatalytic water splitting to hydrogen fuel, photocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction to hydrocarbon fuels, and photocatalytic nitrogen fixation to high-energy fuel carriers such as ammonia. This review focuses on the types of active sites in MOF-based photocatalysts and discusses their enhanced activity based on the well-defined structure of MOFs, offering deep insights into MOF-based photocatalysis.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been frequently used as photocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) using sacrificial agents with UV-vis or visible light irradiation. The aim of the present review is to summarize the use of MOFs as solar-driven photocatalysts targeting to overcome the current efficiency limitations in overall water splitting (OWS). Initially, the fundamentals of the photocatalytic OWS under solar irradiation are presented. Then, the different strategies that can be implemented on MOFs to adapt them for solar photocatalysis for OWS are discussed in detail. Later, the most active MOFs reported until now for the solar-driven HER and/or oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are critically commented. These studies are taken as precedents for the discussion of the existing studies on the use of MOFs as photocatalysts for the OWS under visible or sunlight irradiation. The requirements to be met to use MOFs at large scale for the solar-driven OWS are also discussed. The last section of this review provides a summary of the current state of the field and comments on future prospects that could bring MOFs closer to commercial application.

Abstract
Conjugated polymers and titanium-based metal-organic framework (Ti-MOF) photocatalysts have demonstrated promising features for visible-light-driven hydrogen production. We report herein a strategy of anisotropic phenanthroline-based ruthenium polymers (PPDARs) over Ti-MOF, a tunable platform for efficient visible-light-driven photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Several analytical methods including X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) revealed the judicious integration of the surface-active polymer over the Ti-MOF reinforcing the catalytic activity over the broad chemical space. PPDAR-4 polyacrylate achitecture led to a substantial increase in the H2 evolution rate of 2438 µmolg-1h-1 (AQY: 5.33%) compared to pristine Ti-MOF (238 µmol g-1 h-1). The separation of photogenerated charge carriers at the PPDAR-4/Ti-MOF interface was confirmed by the optical and electrochemical investigations. The experimental, as well as theoretical data, revealed their physical and chemical properties which are positively correlated with the H2 generation rate. This offers a new avenue in creating polymer-based MOF robust photocatalysts for sustainable energy.

Abstract
Photosystem II, the natural water-oxidizing system, is a large protein complex embedded in a phospholipid membrane. A much simpler system for photocatalytic water oxidation consists of liposomes functionalized with amphiphilic ruthenium(II)-tris-bipyridine photosensitizer (PS) and 6,6'-dicarboxylato-2,2'-bipyridine-ruthenium(II) catalysts (Cat) with a water-soluble sacrificial electron acceptor (Na2S2O8). However, the effect of embedding this photocatalytic system in liposome membranes on the mechanism of photocatalytic water oxidation was not well understood. Here, several phenomena have been identified by spectroscopic tools, which explain the drastically different kinetics of water photo-oxidizing liposomes, compared with analogous homogeneous systems. First, the oxidative quenching of photoexcited PS* by S2O82- at the liposome surface occurs solely via static quenching, while dynamic quenching is observed for the homogeneous system. Moreover, the charge separation efficiency after the quenching reaction is much smaller than unity, in contrast to the quantitative generation of PS+ in homogeneous solution. In parallel, the high local concentration of the membrane-bound PS induces self-quenching at 10:1-40:1 molar lipid-PS ratios. Finally, while the hole transfer from PS+ to catalyst is rather fast in homogeneous solution (kobs > 1 × 104 s-1 at [catalyst] > 50 μM), in liposomes at pH = 4, the reaction is rather slow (kobs ≈ 17 s-1 for 5 μM catalyst in 100 μM DMPC lipid). Overall, the better understanding of these productive and unproductive pathways explains what limits the rate of photocatalytic water oxidation in liposomal vs homogeneous systems, which is required for future optimization of light-driven catalysis within self-assembled lipid interfaces.

Abstract
Metal organic frameworks (MOFs), a class of coordination polymers, gained popularity in the late 1990s with the efforts of Omar Yaghi, Richard Robson, Susumu Kitagawa, and others. The intrinsic porosity of MOFs made them a clear platform for gas storage and separation. Indeed, these applications have dominated the vast literature in MOF synthesis, characterization, and applications. However, even in those early years, there were hints to more advanced applications in light-MOF interactions and catalysis. This perspective focuses on the combination of both light-MOF interactions and catalysis: MOF artificial photosynthetic assemblies. Light absorption, charge transport, H2O oxidation, and CO2 reduction have all been previously observed in MOFs; however, work toward a fully MOF-based approach to artificial photosynthesis remains out of reach. Discussed here are the current limitations with MOF-based approaches: diffusion through the framework, selectivity toward high value products, lack of integrated studies, and stability. These topics provide a roadmap for the future development of fully integrated MOF-based assemblies for artificial photosynthesis.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs)-based photocatalysts have received growing attention for photocatalytic hydrogen (H2 ) production. One of the big challenges in the field is to find ways to promote energy/electron transfer and exciton dissociation. Addressing this challenge, herein, a series of olefin-linked 2D COFs is fabricated with high crystallinity, porosity, and robustness using a melt polymerization method without adding volatile organic solvents. It is found that regulation of the spatial distances between the acceptor units (triazine and 2, 2'-bipyridine) of COFs to match the charge carrier diffusion length can dramatically promote the exciton dissociation, hence leading to outstanding photocatalytic H2 evolution performance. The COF with the appropriate acceptor distance achieves exceptional photocatalytic H2 evolution with an apparent quantum yield of 56.2% at 475 nm, the second highest value among all COF photocatalysts and 70 times higher than the well-studied polymer carbon nitride. Various experimental and computation studies are then conducted to in-depth unveil the mechanism behind the enhanced performance. This study will provide important guidance for the design of highly efficient organic semiconductor photocatalysts.
