Abstract
Given the environmental concerns surrounding fluoromaterials, the use of high-cost perfluorinated sulfonic acids (PFSAs) in fuel cells and water electrolysis contradicts the pursuit of clean energy systems. Herein, we present a fluorine-free dumbbell-shaped block-graft copolymer, derived from the cost-effective triblock copolymer, poly(styrene-b-ethylene-co-butylene-b-styrene) (SEBS), for polymer electrolyte membranes (PEMs). This unique polymer shape led to the alignment of the hydrophobic-hydrophilic domains along a preferred orientation, resulting in the construction of interconnected proton channels across the membrane. A bicontinuous network allowed efficient proton transport with reduced tortuosity, leading to an exceptional ionic conductivity (249 mS cm-1 at 80 °C and 90 % relative humidity (RH)), despite a low ion exchange capacity (IEC; 1.41). Furthermore, membrane electrode assembly (MEA) prepared with our membrane exhibited stable performance over a period of 150 h at 80 °C and 30 % RH. This study demonstrates a novel polymer structure design and highlights a promising outlook for hydrocarbon PEMs as alternatives to PFSAs.

Abstract
Multimetallic synergistic effects have the potential to improve CO2 cycloesterification and Knoevenagel reaction processes, outperforming monometallic MOFs. The results demonstrate superior performance in these processes. To investigate this, we created and characterized a selection of single-component Ln(III)-MOFs (Ln=Eu, Tb, Gd, Dy, Ho) and high-entropy lanthanide-organic framework (HE-LnMOF) using solvent-thermal conditions. The experiments revealed that HE-LnMOF exhibited heightened catalytic efficiency in CO2 cycloesterification and Knoevenagel reactions compared to single-component Ln(III) MOFs. Moreover, the HE-LnMOF displayed significant stability, maintaining their structural integrity after five cycles while sustaining elevated conversion and selectivity rates. The feasible mechanisms of catalytic reactions were also discussed. HE-LnMOF possess multiple unsaturated metal centers, acting as Lewis acid sites, with oxygen atoms connecting the metal, and hydroxyl groups on the ligand serving as base sites. This study introduces a novel method for synthesizing HE-LnMOF and presents a fresh application of HE-LnMOF for converting CO2.

Abstract
Increased levels of heavy metals (HMs) in aquatic environments poses serious health and ecological concerns. Hence, several approaches have been proposed to eliminate/reduce the levels of HMs before the discharge/reuse of HMs-contaminated waters. Adsorption is one of the most attractive processes for water decontamination; however, the efficiency of this process greatly depends on the choice of adsorbent. Therefore, the key aim of this article is to review the progress in the development and application of different classes of conventional and emerging adsorbents for the abatement of HMs from contaminated waters. Adsorbents that are based on activated carbon, natural materials, microbial, clay minerals, layered double hydroxides (LDHs), nano-zerovalent iron (nZVI), graphene, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), metal organic frameworks (MOFs), and zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are critically reviewed, with more emphasis on the last four adsorbents and their nanocomposites since they have the potential to significantly boost the HMs removal efficiency from contaminated waters. Furthermore, the optimal process conditions to achieve efficient performance are discussed. Additionally, adsorption isotherm, kinetics, thermodynamics, mechanisms, and effects of varying adsorption process parameters have been introduced. Moreover, heavy metal removal driven by other processes such as oxidation, reduction, and precipitation that might concurrently occur in parallel with adsorption have been reviewed. The application of adsorption for the treatment of real wastewater has been also reviewed. Finally, challenges, limitations and potential areas for improvements in the adsorptive removal of HMs from contaminated waters are identified and discussed. Thus, this article serves as a comprehensive reference for the recent developments in the field of adsorptive removal of heavy metals from wastewater. The proposed future research work at the end of this review could help in addressing some of the key limitations facing this technology, and create a platform for boosting the efficiency of the adsorptive removal of heavy metals.

Abstract
Semiconductor metal oxides (SMOs) nanomaterials are a category of sensing materials that are widely applied to chemiresistive NOx gas sensors. However, there is much space to improve the sensing performance of SMOs nanomaterials. Therefore, how to improve the sensing performance of SMOs nanomaterials for NOx gases has always attracted the interest of researchers. Up to now, there are few reviews focus on the modification strategies of SMOs which applied to NOx gas sensors. In order to compensate for the limitation, this review summarizes the existing modification strategies of SMOs, hoping to provide researchers a view of the research progress in this filed as comprehensive as possible. This review focuses on the progress of the modification of SMOs nanomaterials for chemiresistive NOx (NO, NO2) gas sensors, including the morphology modulation of SMOs, compositing SMOs, loading noble metals, doping metal ions, compositing with carbon nanomaterials, compositing with biomass template, and compositing with MXene, MOFs, conducting polymers. The mechanism of each strategy to enhance the NOx sensing performance of SMOs-based nanomaterials is also discussed and summarized. In addition, the limitations of some of the modification strategies and ways to address them are discussed. Finally, future perspectives for SMOs-based NOx gas sensors are also discussed.

Abstract
An efficient design of crystalline solid-state proton conductors (SSPCs) is crucial for the progress of clean energy applications. Developing such materials to make them work at room temperature with a conductivity of ≥10-1 S cm-1 is of significant interest in terms of technical and commercial aspects. Utilizing the recently highlighted "coordinated-water-driven proton conduction" approach, herein, we have rationally synthesized two highly stable and scalable 1D Co(II) coordination polymers (CPs) as SSPCs, PCM-2 {[Co(bpy)(H2O)2(NO3)2]·H2O}n and PCM-3 {[Co2(bpy)2(SO4)2(H2O)6].4H2O}n, with distinct alignments in coordinated water and coordinated oxo-anions (nitrate and sulfate, respectively). The acidity of the metal-bound water molecules in PCM-2 is further enhanced through cooperative long-range continuous H bonds with coordinated Brønsted basic nitrates (proton acceptors), leading to ultrahigh superprotonic conductivities even at 25 °C (1.03 × 10-1 S cm-1 under 95% RH), and reached a maximum of 2.99 × 10-1 S cm-1 at 85 °C (95% RH). The conductivity at 25 °C is even higher than that of commercial Nafion 117 (6.74 × 10-2 S cm-1 at 100% RH). The absence of such an H-bonding interaction in PCM-3 (closed loops) resulted in a lesser conductivity of 5.87 × 10-5 S cm-1 (95% RH, 85 °C). PCM-2 represents the first example of SSPC exhibiting conductivity in the order 10-1 S cm-1 at ambient temperature (25 °C) with excellent recyclability.

Abstract
Proton-conducting polysilsesquioxane oligomers with core-shell structures consisting of hydrophilic silica-rich cores surrounded by an organic layer with sulfonic and phosphonic acid groups were synthesized. They were crosslinked by mixing with phosphoric acid and aluminum ions to form a hydrophilic Al-O-P framework. The resulting polymers were clear, uniform, flexible, and exhibited a high proton conductivity above 100 °C in non-humidified low-humidity air (∼22 mS cm-1 at 120 °C and ∼1%RH) because of their high sulfonic acid concentration and high water retention capability.

Abstract
Achieving selective transport of monovalent metal ions with high precision and permeability analogues to biological protein ion channels has long been explored for fundamental research and various applications, such as ion sieving, mineral extraction, and energy harvesting and conversion. However, it still remains a significant challenge to construct artificial nanofluidic devices to realize the trade-off effects between selective ion transportation and high ion permeability. In this work, we report a bioinspired functional micropipet with in situ growth of crown ether-encapsulated metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) inside the tip and realize selective transport of monovalent metal ions. The functional ion-selective micropipet with sub-nanochannels was constructed by the interfacial growth method with the formation of composite MOFs consisting of ZIF-8 and 15-crown-5. The resulting micropipet device exhibited obvious monovalent ion selectivity and high flux of Li+ due to the synergistic effects of size sieving in subnanoconfined space and specific coordination of 15-crown-5 toward Na+. The selectivity of Li+/Na+, Li+/K+, Li+/Ca2+, and Li+/Mg2+ with 15-crown-5@ZIF-8-functionalized micropipet reached 3.9, 5.2, 105.8, and 122.4, respectively, which had an obvious enhancement compared to that with ZIF-8. Notably, the ion flux of Li+ can reach up to 93.8 ± 3.6 mol h-1·m-2 that is much higher than previously reported values. Furthermore, the functional micropipet with 15-crown-5@ZIF-8 sub-nanochannels exhibited stable Li+ selectivity under various conditions, such as different ion concentrations, pH values, and mixed ion solutions. This work not only provides new opportunities for the development of MOF-based nanofluidic devices for selective ion transport but also facilitates the promising practical applications in lithium extraction from salt-like brines, sewage treatment, and other related aspects.

Abstract
All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) represent a highly promising next-generation energy storage technology owing to their inherently high safety, device reliability, and potential for achieving high energy density in the post-ara of lithium-ion batteries, and therefore extensive searches are ongoing for ideal solid-state electrolytes (SSEs). Though promising, there is still a huge barrier that limits the large-scale applications of ASSBs, where there are a couple of bottleneck technical issues. In this perspective, a novel category of electrolytes known as frameworked electrolytes (FEs) are examined, where the solid frameworks are intentionally designed to contain 3D ionic channels at sub-nano scales, rendering them macroscopically solid. The distinctive structural design of FEs gives rise to not only high ionic conductivity but also desirable interfaces with electrode solids. This is achieved through the presence of sub-nano channels within the framework, which exhibit significantly different ion diffusion behavior due to the confinement effect. This perspective offers a compelling insight into the potential of FEs in the pursuit of ASSBs, where FEs offer an exciting opportunity to overcome the limitations of traditional solid-state electrolytes and propel the development of ASSBs as the holy grail of energy storage technology.

Abstract
This study revisits a (001)-oriented layered lead chloride templated by 1,2,4-triazolium, Tz2PbCl4, which recently has been an object of intense research but still suffers from gaps in characterization. Indeed, the divergent reports on the crystal structures of Tz2PbCl4 at various temperatures, devoid of independent verification of chiral phases through second harmonic generation (SHG), have led to an unresolved debate regarding the existence of a low-temperature phase transition (PT) and the noncentrosymmetric nature of the low-temperature phase. Now, by combining differential scanning calorimetry, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, dielectric, as well as linear and nonlinear optical spectroscopies on Tz2PbCl4, we reveal a sequence of reversible PTs at T1 = 361 K (phase I-II), T2 = 339 K (phase II-III), and T3 = 280 K (phase III-IV). No SHG activity could be registered for any of the four crystal phases, as checked by wide-temperature range SHG screening, supporting their centrosymmetry. The dipole relaxation processes indicate a decrease in activation energy with increasing temperature, from 0.60, 0.38, to 0.24 eV observed for phase IV (space group P21/c), phase III (Pnma), and phase II (Cmcm), respectively. This change is interpreted as a result of the diminishing strength of H-bonds as the system transforms from phase IV to III and subsequently to II. The weaker H-bonds facilitate the reorientation of Tz+ cations in the presence of an external electric field. The photoluminescence spectra of Tz2PbCl4 reveal an intriguing interplay of narrow and broadband emission, linked respectively to free excitons and excitons trapped on defects. Notably, as the temperature decreases from 300 K to 16 K, both the emission bands exhibit distinctive blue and red shifts, indicative of increased in-plane octahedral distortion. This dynamic behaviour transforms the photoluminescence of Tz2PbCl4 from greenish-blue at 300 K to yellowish-green at 13 K, enriching our understanding of 2D lead halide perovskites and highlighting the optoelectronic potential of Tz2PbCl4.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising materials because of their high designability of pores and functionalities. Especially, MOF thin films and their properties have been investigated toward applications in nanodevices. Typically, MOF thin films are fabricated by using a bottom-up method such as layer-by-layer (LbL) growth in air. Because the water molecules can coordinate and be replaced with organic linkers during synthesis, humidity conditions will be expected to influence the LbL growth processes. In this study, we fabricated MOF thin films composed of Zn2+, tetrakis-(4-carboxyphenyl)-porphyrin (TCPP), and 4,4'-bipyridyl (bpy) at 10 and 40% relative humidity (RH) conditions. Then, we investigated the humidity effects on chemical compositions of TCPP and bpy, periodic structure, orientation, and surface morphology. At high RH, coordination replacement of water with the organic linkers becomes more competitive than that at low RH, resulting in a different TCPP/bpy composition ratio between the two RH conditions. Also, more frequent coordination replacements of water with the organic linkers at high RH led to the formation of phases other than that observed at low RH, loss of growth orientation, and rough surface. The findings clarified the importance of controlling the RH condition during LbL growth to obtain the desired coordination networks.

Abstract
The hydrogels, formed by self-assembly of predesigned, discrete metal-organic cubes (MOCs), have emerged as a new type of functional soft material whose diverse properties are yet to be explored. Here, we explore the proton conductivity of a MOC-based supramolecular porous framework {(Me2NH2)12[Ga8(ImDC)12]·DMF·29H2O} (1) (ImDC = 4,5-imidazole dicarboxylate) and derived hydrogel (MOC-G1). The intrinsic charge-assisted H-bonded (between anionic MOC {[Ga8(ImDC)12]12-} and dimethylammonium cations) framework 1 exhibits an ambient condition proton conductivity value of 2.3 × 10-5 S cm-1 (@40% RH) which increases with increasing temperature (8.2 × 10-4 S cm-1 at 120 °C and 40% RH) and follows the Grotthuss type of mechanism of proton conduction. Self-assembly of the MOCs in the presence of ammonium cations, as molecular binders, resulted in a hydrogel (MOC-G1) that shows directional H-bonded 1D nanotubular morphology. While guest water molecules are immensely important in deciding the proton conductivity of both 1 and MOC-G1, the presence of additional proton carriers, such as DMA and ammonium cations, resulted in at least 1 order increment in the proton conductivity of the latter (1.8 × 10-2 S cm-1) than the former (1.4 × 10-3 S cm-1) under 25 °C and 98% RH condition. The values of proton conductivity of 1 and MOC-G1 are comparable with those of the best proton conduction reports in the literature. This work may pave the way for the development of proton conductors with unique architecture and conductivity requisite for the state-of-the-art technologies by selecting appropriate MOC and molecular binders.

Abstract
Proton transfer (PT) is one of the most ubiquitous reactions in chemistry and life science. The unique nature of PT has been rationalized not by the transport of a solvated proton (vehicle mechanism) but by the Grotthuss mechanism in which a proton is transported to the nearest proton acceptor along a hydrogen-bonded network. However, clear experimental evidence of the Grotthuss mechanism has not been reported yet. Herein we show by infrared spectroscopy that a vehicle-type PT occurs in the penta- and hexahydrated clusters of protonated p-aminobenzoic acid, while Grotthuss-type PT is observed in heptahydrated clusters, indicating a change in the PT mechanism depending on the degree of hydration. These findings emphasize the importance of the usually ignored vehicle mechanism as well as the degree of hydration. It highlights the possibility of controlling the PT mechanism by the number of water molecules in chemical and biological environments.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks and supramolecular metal-organic frameworks (SMOFs) exhibit great potential for a broad range of applications taking advantage of the high surface area and pore sizes and tunable chemistry. In particular, metalloporphyrin-based MOFs and SMOFs are becoming of great importance in many fields due to the bioessential functions of these macrocycles that are being mimicked. On the other hand, during the last years, proton-conducting materials have aroused much interest, and those presenting high conductivity values are potential candidates to play a key role in some solid-state electrochemical devices such as batteries and fuel cells. In this way, using metalloporphyrins as building units we have obtained a new crystalline material with formula [H(bipy)]2[(MnTPPS)(H2O)2]·2bipy·14H2O, where bipy is 4,4'-bipyidine and TPPS4- is the meso-tetra(4-sulfonatephenyl) porphyrin. The crystal structure shows a zig-zag water chain along the [100] direction located between the sulfonate groups of the porphyrin. Taking into account those structural features, the compound was tested for proton conduction by complex electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The as-obtained conductivity is 1 × 10-2 S·cm-1 at 40 °C and 98% relative humidity, which is a remarkably high value.

Abstract
The rise of touchless technology, driven by the recent pandemic, has transformed human-machine interaction (HMI). Projections indicate a substantial growth in the touchless technology market, nearly tripling from $13.6 billion in 2021 to an estimated $37.6 billion by 2026. In response to the pandemic-driven shift towards touchless technology, here we show an organic cage-based humidity sensor with remarkable humidity responsiveness, forming the basis for advanced touchless platforms in potential future HMI systems. This cage sensor boasts an ultrafast response/recovery time (1 s/3 s) and exceptional stability (over 800 cycles) across relative humidity (RH) changes from 11% to 95%. The crystal structure's 3D pore network and luxuriant water-absorbing functional groups both inside and outside of the cage contribute synergistically to superior humidity sensing. Demonstrating versatility, we showcase this cage in smart touchless control screens and touchless password managers, presenting cost-effective and easily processable applications of molecularly porous materials in touchless HMI.

Abstract
Two types of isostructural iron-cobalt/nickel-antimony-oxo tartrate cluster-based compounds, namely (H3O)(Me2NH2)[M(H2O)6]2[FeII2SbIII12(μ4-O)3(μ3-O)8(tta)6]·6H2O (M = Co (1); Ni (3)), H5/3[Co2.5FeII4/3FeIII3(H2O)13SbV1/3FeIII2/3(μ4-O)2(μ3-O)4SbIII6(μ3-O)2(tta)6]·2H2O (2) and H2[Ni2.25FeII1.5FeIII3(H2O)14SbV0.25FeIII0.75(μ4-O)2(μ3-O)4SbIII6(μ3-O)2(tta)6]·2H2O (4) (H4tta = tartaric acid) were synthesized via simple solvothermal reactions. All the clusters in the structures adopt sandwich configurations, that is, bilayer sandwich configuration in 1 and 3 and monolayer sandwich configuration in 2 and 4. Interestingly, the monolayer sandwiched compounds 2 and 4 represent rare examples of cluster-based compounds containing mixed-valence Sb(III, V), whose center of the intermediate layer is the co-occupied [FexSbV1-x]. This is different from that of previously reported sandwich-type antimony-oxo clusters in which the center position is either occupied by a transition metal ion or a Sb(V) alone. Thus, the discovery of title compounds 2 and 4 makes the evolution of center metal ion more complete, that is, from M, MxSbV1-x to SbV. All the title compounds were fully characterized, and the photocatalysis, proton conduction and magnetism of compounds 2 and 4 were studied.

Abstract
Two isostructural Co(Cd)-antimony-oxo tartrate cluster-based compounds with a one-dimensional (1-D) belt-like structure, namely H9.2[Co(H2O)6]{M0.5(H2O)3.5{M'(H2O)4[SbVO6[Co4.2(H2O)5SbIII6(μ3-O)2(tta)6]]}}2·nH2O (M = Co, M' = Co, n = 9 (1); M = Cd0.39/Co0.61, M' = Cd0.24/Co0.76, n = 7 (2); H4tta = tartaric acid), have been synthesized by solvothermal methods. It is noteworthy that the relatively rare mixed-valence Sb(III,V) exists in the structures. The anionic clusters in both compounds appear to be in a sandwich configuration; the top and bottom layers are based on {Sb3(μ3-O)(tta)3} brackets, and the intermediate layer is occupied by {SbVO6[Co4.2(H2O)5]}. The title compounds have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction, elemental analyses, thermogravimetric analyses, and UV-Vis spectroscopy. We chose compound 2 as a representative to test its proton conductivity, and the results show that the conductivity can reach 1.42 × 10-3 S cm-1 at 85 °C under 98% relative humidity.

Abstract
The exponential interest in covalent organic frameworks (COFs) arises from the direct correlation between their diverse and intriguing properties and the modular design principle. However, the insufficient interlamellar interaction among COF nanosheets greatly hinders the formation of defect-free membranes. Therefore, developing a methodology for the facile fabrication of these materials remains an enticing and highly desirable objective. Herein, ultrahigh proton conductivity and superior stability are achieved by taking advantage of COF composite membranes where 2D TB-COF nanosheets are linked by 1D lignocellulosic nanofibrils (LCNFs) through π-π and electrostatic interactions to form a robust and ordered structure. Notably, the high concentration of -SO3 H groups within the COF pores and the abundant proton transport paths at COFs-LCNFs interfaces impart composite membranes ultrahigh proton conductivity (0.348 S cm-1 at 80 °C and 100% RH). Moreover, the directional migration of protons along the stacked nanochannels of COFs is facilitated by oxygen atoms on the keto groups, as demonstrated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The simple design concept and reliable operation of the demonstrated mixed-dimensional composite membrane are expected to provide an ideal platform for next-generation conductive materials.

Abstract
Single-crystal X-ray diffraction is a powerful characterization technique that enables the determination of atomic arrangements in crystalline materials. Growing or retaining large single crystals amenable to it has, however, remained challenging with covalent organic frameworks (COFs), especially suffering from post-synthetic modifications. Here we show the synthesis of a flexible COF with interpenetrated qtz topology by polymerization of tetra(phenyl)bimesityl-based tetraaldehyde and tetraamine building blocks. The material is shown to be flexible through its large, anisotropic positive thermal expansion along the c axis (αc = +491 × 10-6 K-1), as well as through a structural transformation on the removal of solvent molecules from its pores. The as-synthesized and desolvated materials undergo single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation by reduction and oxidation of its imine linkages to amine and amide ones, respectively. These redox-induced linkage conversions endow the resulting COFs with improved stability towards strong acid; loading of phosphoric acid leads to anhydrous proton conductivity up to ca. 6.0 × 10-2 S cm-1.

Abstract
Biological metal-organic frameworks (bio-MOFs) constitute a growing subclass of MOFs composed of metals and bio-ligands derived from biology, such as nucleobases, peptides, saccharides, and amino acids. Bio-ligands are more abundant than other traditional organic ligands, providing multiple coordination sites for MOFs. However, bio-MOFs are typically prepared using hazardous or harmful solvents or reagents, as well as laborious processes that do not conform to environmentally friendly standards. To improve biocompatibility and biosafety, eco-friendly synthesis and functionalization techniques should be employed with mild conditions and safer materials, aiming to reduce or avoid the use of toxic and hazardous chemical agents. Recently, bio-MOF applications have gained importance in some research areas, including imaging, tumor therapy, and targeted drug delivery, owing to their flexibility, low steric hindrances, low toxicity, remarkable biocompatibility, surface property refining, and degradability. This has led to an exponential increase in research on these materials. This paper provides a comprehensive review of updated strategies for the synthesis of environmentally friendly bio-MOFs, as well as an examination of the current progress and accomplishments in green-synthesized bio-MOFs for drug delivery aims and tumor treatments. In conclusion, we consider the challenges of applying bio-MOFs for biomedical applications and clarify the possible research orientation that can lead to highly efficient therapeutic outcomes.

CHEMISTRY OF MATERIALS : A PUBLICATION OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY 2023; 35:9857-9878. [PMID: 38107191 PMCID: PMC10720344 DOI: 10.1021/acs.chemmater.3c01021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2023] [Revised: 11/10/2023] [Accepted: 11/13/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023]
Abstract
Isoreticularity in metal organic frameworks (MOFs) allows the design of the framework structure and tailoring the pore aperture at the molecular level. The optimal pore volume, long-range order of framework expansion, and crystallite size (grain size) could enable improving Li-ion conduction, thereby providing a unique opportunity to design high-performance solid and quasi-solid electrolytes. However, definitive understanding of the pore aperture, framework expansion, and crystallite size on the Li-ion conduction and its mechanism in MOFs remains at the exploratory stage. Among the different MOF subfamilies, Li-MOFs created by the isoreticular framework expansion using dicarboxylates of benzene, naphthalene, and biphenyl building blocks emerge as low-density porous solids with exceptional thermal stability to study the solid-state Li+ transport mechanisms. Herein, we report the subtle effect of the isoreticularity in Li-MOFs on the performance of solid and quasi-solid-state Li+ conduction, providing new insight into Li+ transport mechanisms in MOFs for the first time. Our experimental and computational results show that the reticular design on an isostructural extended framework structure with the optimal pore aperture and crystallite size can influence the Li+ conductivity, exhibiting comparable ionic conductivities to solid polymer electrolytes at room temperature. Aligning with the computational studies, our experimental absorption spectral traces of solid electrolytes prepared by encapsulating lithium salt (LiClO4) and the plasticizer (ethylene carbonate) with Li-MOFs confirm the participation of the free and bound states of Li+ in a pore filling-driven ion conduction mechanism. We postulate that porous channels of Li-MOFs aid free Li+ to move through the pores via a vehicle-type mechanism, in which the pore-filled plasticizer acts as a carrier for mobile Li+ while the framework's functional sites transport the bound state of Li+ via an ion hopping mechanism from one crystallite site to another. Our computational studies performed on the Li+ conduction pathway validated the postulated pore filling mechanism and confirmed the involvement of bridging complexes, formed by binding Li+ onto the framework's functional sites as well as to the pore-filled ethylene carbonates. The Li+ diffusion energy barrier profiles along with the respective conformational changes during the diffusion of Li+ in solid electrolytes prepared from Li-BDC MOF and Li-NDC MOF strongly support the cooperative movement of Li+ ions via ion hopping along the framework's edges and vehicle-type transfer, involving the pore-filled plasticizer. Our findings suggest that cooperative function of the optimal pore volume, framework expansion, and crystallite size play a unique role in Li-ion conduction, thereby providing design guidelines for the low-density solid and quasi-solid electrolytes.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) based proton conductors are synthesized by the Avrami model (time-temperature modalities). Our objective here is to obtain a material with high proton conductivity in anhydrous conditions, improved catalytic behaviour and morphology control of conductivity, band gap and catalysis. For this purpose, we try to understand the role of morphology on mass transportation using computational fluid dynamics and the experimental realisation using the synthesis of MOF membranes with high protonic conductivity. In order to alter the morphology, the membranes are synthesized from protic ionic liquid (dimethyl ethyl amine H2PO4) and metal ion (Co3O4) at different temperatures and duration. A high protonic conductivity of 0.0286 S cm-1 with a high transference number >0.99 is observed in anhydrous conditions with the change in morphology. Furthermore, catalyst properties along with high activity (Tafel slope = 39 mV decade-1) with the alteration in morphology are also investigated in detail and observed adsorption governed conduction. This adsorption governed conduction is verified using computational fluid dynamics simulations with the alteration in morphology. This study suggests that morphology not only plays a pivotal role in obtaining a robust proton exchange membrane, it also improves the catalytic functionality and stability of the membrane.

Abstract
Anions play a significant role in the construction of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Anions can affect coordination between metal ions and organic ligands, and the formation of crystal structures, thereby affecting the structure and properties of MOFs. Two novel 3D porous MOFs ({[Cd3(TIPE)2(SO4)1.6(H2O)2.4]·2.8OH·6.2H2O}n (MOF-1) and {[Cd3(TIPE)2(SO4)3(H2O)2]·10H2O}n (MOF-2)) were successfully synthesized, by introducing SO42- to design and adjust their structure and properties, in which the sulfate ions not only participated in coordination but also played a bridging role. Both MOF-1 and MOF-2 exhibited high stability and strong fluorescence properties, and their fluorescence properties also changed compared to those of previously reported 2D nonporous MOF-3 ({[Cd2(TIPE)2Cl3(ACN)]·CdCl3·3H2O}n) with an identical ligand. They could also be used in combination with MOF-3 to distinguish between Fe3+ and Cr2O72- ions, due to a change in their fluorescence properties. In this work, the structure was reshaped by introducing sulfate ions, and the role and function of the sulfate ions in the structure were studied, providing a feasible idea for the design and precise regulation of MOFs.

Abstract
Proton exchange membranes with high proton conductivity and low crossover of fuel molecules are required to realize advanced fuel-cell technology. The selective transportation of protons, which occurs by blocking the transportation of fuel molecules across a proton exchange membrane, is crucial to suppress crossover while maintaining a high proton conductivity. In this study, a simple yet powerful method is proposed for optimizing the crossover-conductivity relationship by pasting sulfanilic-functionalized holey graphenes onto a Nafion membrane. The results show that the sulfanilic-functionalized holey graphenes supported by the membrane suppresses the crossover by 89% in methanol and 80% in formate compared with that in the self-assembled Nafion membrane; an ≈60% reduction is observed in the proton conductivity. This method exhibits the potential for application in advanced fuel cells that use methanol and formic acid as chemical fuels to achieve high energy efficiency.

Abstract
Solid-state proton conductors based on the use of metal-organic framework (MOF) materials as proton exchange membranes are being investigated as alternatives to the current state of the art. This study reports a new family of proton conductors based on MIL-101 and protic ionic liquid polymers (PILPs) containing different anions. By first installing protic ionic liquid (PIL) monomers inside the hierarchical pores of a highly stable MOF, MIL-101, then carrying out polymerization in situ, a series of PILP@MIL-101 composites was synthesized. The resulting PILP@MIL-101 composites not only maintain the nanoporous cavities and water stability of MIL-101, but the intertwined PILPs provide a number of opportunities for much-improved proton transport compared to MIL-101. The PILP@MIL-101 composite with HSO4 - anions shows superprotonic conductivity (6.3 × 10-2 S cm-1 ) at 85 °C and 98% relative humidity. The mechanism of proton conduction is proposed. In addition, the structures of the PIL monomers were determined by single crystal X-ray analysis, which reveals many strong hydrogen bonding interactions with O/NH···O distances below 2.6 Å.

Abstract
Introduction of mechanical flexibility into proton-conducting coordination polymers (CPs) is in high demand for future protonic applications such as fuel cells and hydrogen sensors. Although such mechanical properties have been primarily investigated in one-dimensional (1D) CPs, in this study, we successfully fabricated highly flexible free-standing CP membranes with a high surface-to-volume ratio, which is beneficial for enhanced performance in the aforementioned applications. We fabricated a layered CP, Cu2 (NiTCPP) (H4 (H2 TCPP); 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin), in which a two-dimensional (2D) square grid sheet composed of tetradentate nickel porphyrins and paddlewheel-type copper dimers was connected to each other by weak van der Waals forces. The mechanical flexibility was evaluated by bending and tensile tests. The flexural and Young's moduli of the membrane were significantly higher than those of conventional Nafion membranes. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis revealed that the in-plane proton conductivity of the membrane was maintained even under applied bending stress. Because the X-ray diffraction analysis indicates that the proton-conducting pathway through the hydrogen bonding network remains intact during the bending operation, our present study provides a promising strategy for the fabrication of new and advanced 2D CPs without using substrates or additional polymers for protonic devices.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have received much attention as a solid-state electrolyte in proton exchange membrane fuel cells. The introduction of proton carriers and functional groups into MOFs can improve the proton conductivity attributed to the formation of hydrogen-bonding networks, while the underlying synergistic mechanism is still unclear. Here, a series of flexible MOFs (MIL-88B, [Fe3 O(OH)(H2 O)2 (O2 C-C6 H4 -CO2 )3 ] with imidazole) is designed to modify the hydrogen-bonding networks and investigate the resulting proton-conducting characteristics by controlling the breathing behaviors. The breathing behavior is tuned by varying the amount of adsorbed imidazole into pore (small breathing (SB) and large breathing (LB)) and introducing functional groups onto ligands (-NH2 , -SO3 H), resulting in four kinds of imidazole-loaded MOFs-Im@MIL-88B-SB, Im@MIL-88B-LB, Im@MIL-88B-NH2 , and Im@MIL-88B-SO3 H. Im@MIL-88B-LB without functional groups exhibits the highest proton conductivity of 8.93 × 10-2 S cm-1 at 60 °C and 95% relative humidity among imidazole-loaded proton conductors despite the mild condition, indicating that functional groups may not be always required to enhance proton conductivity. The elaborately controlled pore size and host-guest interaction in flexible MOFs through imidazole-dependent structural transformation are translated into the high proton concentration without the limitation of proton mobility, contributing to the formation of effective hydrogen-bonding networks in imidazole conducting media.

Abstract
Recently, it was reported that chitin and chitosan exhibited high-proton conductivity and function as an electrolyte in fuel cells. In particular, it is noteworthy that proton conductivity in the hydrated chitin becomes 30 times higher than that in the hydrated chitosan. Since higher proton conductivity is necessary for the fuel cell electrolyte, it is significantly important to clarify the key factor for the realization of higher proton conduction from a microscopic viewpoint for the future development of fuel cells. Therefore, we have measured proton dynamics in the hydrated chitin using quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) from the microscopic viewpoint and compared the proton conduction mechanism between hydrated chitin and chitosan. QENS results exhibited that a part of hydrogen atoms and hydration water in chitin are mobile even at 238 K, and the mobile hydrogen atoms and their diffusion increase with increasing temperature. It was found that the diffusion constant of mobile protons is two times larger and that the residence time is two times faster in chitin than that in chitosan. In addition, it is revealed from the experimental results that the transition process of dissociable hydrogen atoms between chitin and chitosan is different. To realize proton conduction in the hydrated chitosan, the hydrogen atoms of the hydronium ions (H3O+) should be transferred to another hydration water. By contrast, in hydrated chitin, the hydrogen atoms can transfer directly to the proton acceptors of neighboring chitin. It is deduced that higher proton conductivity in the hydrated chitin compared with that in the hydrated chitosan is yielded by the difference of diffusion constant and the residence time by hydrogen-atom dynamics and the location and number of proton acceptors.

Abstract
Crystalline porous materials are recognized as promising proton conductors for the proton exchange membrane (PEM) in fuel cell technology owing to their tunable framework structure. However, it is still a challenging bulk synthesis for real-world applications of these materials. Herein, we report the mechanochemical gram-scale synthesis of two isostructural metal hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (MHOFs) of Co(II) and Ni(II) based on 1-hydroxyethylidenediphosphonic acid (HEDPH4) with 2,2'-bipyridine (2,2'-bipy): Co(HEDPH3)2(2,2'-bipy)·H2O (1) and Ni(HEDPH3)2(2,2'-bipy)·H2O (2). In situ monitoring of the mechanochemical synthesis using different synchrotron-based techniques revealed a one-step mechanism - the starting materials are directly converted to the product. With the existence of extensive hydrogen bonds with amphiprotic uncoordinated phosphonate hydroxyl and oxygen atoms, both frameworks exhibited proton conduction in the range of 10-4 S cm-1 at room temperature under humid conditions. This study demonstrates the potential of green mechanosynthesis for bulk material preparation of framework-based solid-state proton conductors.

Abstract
The perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) proton exchange membrane (PEM) is the key component for hydrogen fuel cells (FCs). We used in situ synchrotron scattering to investigate the PEM morphology evolution and found a "stream-reservoir" morphology, which enables efficient proton transport. The short-side-chain (SSC) PFSA PEM is fabricated under the guidance of morphology optimization, which delivered a proton conductivity of 193 milliSiemens per centimeter [95% relativity humidity (RH)] and 40 milliSiemens per centimeter (40% RH) at 80°C. The improved glass transition temperature, water permeability, and mechanical strength enable high-temperature low-humidity FC applications. Performance improvement by 82.3% at 110°C and 25% RH is obtained for SSC-PFSA PEM FCs compared to Nafion polymer PEM devices. The insights in chain conformation, packing mechanism, crystallization, and phase separation of PFSAs build up the structure-property relationship. In addition, SSC-PFSA PEM is ideal for high-temperature low-humidity FCs that are needed urgently for high-power-density and heavy-duty applications.

Abstract
Two open-framework zinc phosphates [C3N2H12][Zn(HPO4)2] (1) and [C6N4H22]0.5[Zn(HPO4)2] (2) were synthesized via hydrothermal reaction and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis and scanning electron microscopy. Both compounds have a similar crystal structure and macroscopic morphology. However, the difference in equilibrium cations, in which the propylene diamine is for 1 and the triethylenetetramine is for 2, results in a significant distinction in the dense hydrogen grid. The diprotonated propylene diamine molecule in 1 is more favorable for forming a hydrogen-bond network in three dimensions than in 2, in which the twisted triethylenetetramine forms a hydrogen bond grid with the inorganic framework only in two dimensions owing to its large steric effect. This distinction further leads to a disparity in the proton conductivity of both compounds. The proton conductivity of 1 can reach 1.00 × 10-3 S cm-1 under ambient conditions (303 K and 75% RH) and then increase to 1.11 × 10-2 S cm-1 at 333 K and 99% RH, which is the highest value among the open-framework metal phosphate proton conductors operated in the same conduction. In contrast, the proton conductivity of 2 is four orders of magnitude smaller than 1 at 303 K and 75% RH and two orders smaller than 1 at 333 K and 99% RH.

Abstract
Potassium-based energy storage devices are attracting increasing attention as an alternative to lithium and sodium systems. In addition, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can be considered as promising electrode materials for this type of device due to their advantageous properties. Herein, the anionic MOF JUMP-1 and its analog with pre-loading of potassium cations, namely JUMP-1(K), were synthesized and characterized. The anionic framework of JUMP-1 is found to be extremely stable towards the exchange of the dimethylammonium cations by potassium ions. These MOFs were tested in composite electrodes in combination with conventional organic electrolytes as anode materials in a potassium-based system, including the full cell assembly of a potassium ion capacitor (KIC). The results show the significant improvement in capacity between the pristine JUMP-1 and the potassium-exchanged analog JUMP-1(K) as electrode materials. KICs containing JUMP-1(K) coupled with activated carbon (AC) display a promising stability over 4000 cycles. According to the results from these studies, the composite MOF electrode with the potassium-exchange analog JUMP-1(K) presents a promising approach, for which the electrochemical performance compared to the pristine anionic MOF is significantly enhanced.

Abstract
Starting with ferrocyanide ions in acidic aqueous solution, cyano-ferrate(II) species are post-synthetically grafted to the nodes of a mesoporous zirconium-based MOF, NU-1000. As indicated by single-crystal X-ray crystallography, grafting occurs by substitution of cyanide ligands by node-based hydroxo and oxo ligands rather than by substitution of node aqua ligands by cyanide ligands as bridges between Fe(II) and Zr(IV). The installed moieties yield a broad absorption band that is tentatively ascribed to iron-to-zirconium charge transfer. Consistent with Fe(III/II) redox activity, a modest fraction of the installed iron complexes are directly electrochemically addressable.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have become a promising support for different active sites to construct multifunctional and heterogeneous catalysts. However, the related investigation mainly focuses on introducing one or two active sites into MOFs and trifunctional catalysts have been very rarely reported. Herein, non-noble CuCo alloy nanoparticles, Pd2+, and l-proline, as encapsulated active species, functional organic linkers, and active metal nodes, respectively, were successfully decorated to UiO-67 to construct a chiral trifunctional catalyst by the one-step method, which was further applied to asymmetric three-step sequential oxidation of aromatic alcohols/Suzuki coupling/asymmetric aldol reactions with excellent oxidation and coupling performance (yields up to 95 and 96%, respectively), as well as good enantioselectivities (eeanti value up to 73%) in asymmetric aldol reactions. The heterogeneous catalyst can be reused at least five times without obvious deactivation due to the strong interaction between the MOFs and the active sites. This work provides an effective strategy to construct multifunctional catalysts via the introduction and combination of three or more of active sites, including encapsulated active species, functional organic linkers, and active metal nodes, into stable MOFs.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks as a unique class of high-surface-area materials have gained considerable attention due to their characteristic properties. In this perspective, herein, we report an eco-friendly and inexpensive route for the synthesis of 4(3H)-quinazolinones using magnetically separable core-shell-like bimetallic Fe3O4-MAA@Co-MOF@Cu-MOF NPs as environmentally-friendly heterogeneous catalysts. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of the integration of two different types of MOFs, which contain two different metal ions (Co2+ in the core and Cu2+ in the shell) using an external ligand. Our study not only introduces a novel nanostructured catalyst for the organic reaction but also presents a new strategy for the combination of two MOFs in one particle at the nanometer level. To survey the structural and compositional features of the synthesized nanocatalyst, a variety of spectroscopic and microscopic techniques including FT-IR, XRD, BET, TEM, HR-TEM, FE-SEM, EDX, EDX-mapping, TGA, VSM, and ICP-OES were employed. The combination of magnetic Co-MOF with Cu-MOF leads to achieving unique structural and compositional properties for Fe3O4-MAA@Co-MOF@Cu-MOF NPs with a particle size of 20-70 nm, mesostructure, and relatively large specific surface area (236.16 m2 g-1). The as-prepared nanostructured catalyst can be an excellent environment catalyst for the synthesis of a wide library of 4(3H)-quinazolinones derivatives, including electron-donating and electron-withdrawing aromatic, heteroaromatic, and aliphatic compounds under solvent-free conditions much better than the parent precursors. Moreover, by investigating the longevity of the nanocatalyst, the conclusion could be derived that the aforesaid nanocatalyst is stable under reaction conditions and could be recycled for at least seven recycle runs without a discernible decrease in its catalytic activity.

Abstract
The development of solid-state proton conductors with high proton conductivity at low temperatures is crucial for the implementation of hydrogen-based technologies for portable and automotive applications. Here, we report on the discovery of a new crystalline metal acid triphosphate, ZrH5 (PO4 )3 (ZP3), which exhibits record-high proton conductivity of 0.5-3.1×10-2 S cm-1 in the range 25-110 °C in anhydrous conditions. This is the highest anhydrous proton conductivity ever reported in a crystalline solid proton conductor in the range 25-110 °C. Superprotonic conductivity in ZP3 is enabled by extended defective frustrated hydrogen bond chains, where the protons are dynamically disordered over two oxygen centers. The high proton conductivity and stability in anhydrous conditions make ZP3 an excellent candidate for innovative applications in fuel cells without the need for complex water management systems, and in other energy technologies requiring fast proton transfer.

Abstract
Coordination polymers are extensively studied materials because of their various potential applications. Amongst them, breathing coordination polymers that are capable of exchanging lattice occluded guest molecules with other guests via single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SC-SC) fashion are particularly intriguing. Herein, we disclose an easily accessible breathing coordination polymer namely DMF@Zn-CP capable of exchanging as many as 23 guest molecules of various kinds in SC-SC fashion when the crystals of the coordination polymer were exposed to the corresponding vapor of the guests. Selectivity experiments revealed that it was also capable of separating selectively hazardous chemicals such as dichloro-methane, benzene and fluorobenzene from the corresponding complex mixture of vapors of halomethanes, aromatic hydrocarbons and halobenzenes. The breathing coordination polymer could also be exploited as drug delivery vehicle; slow and sustained release of anti-bacterial agents (benzyl alcohol/phenethyl amine) as guests against both gram positive and gram negative bacteria was evident in zone inhibition assays. A mixed ligand strategy wherein a nitrile containing terpyridyl ligand (L) and terephthalate (TA) co-ligand were reacted with Co(II)/Ni(II)/Zn(II) nitrate salts was adopted herein. Three coordination polymers namely MeOH@Co-CP, DMF/H2 O@Ni-CP and DMF@Zn-CP were isolated and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Studies revealed that only DMF@Zn-CP possessed the ability to breath in response to the vapors of the guests as stimuli.

Abstract
The concept of Brønsted-Lowry acids and bases is long and widely recognized as the most reasonable theory to explain the behavior of H+ ions. Here, we report a Brønsted acid/base pair that does not follow this theory. Two heteronuclear metal complexes, in which Brønsted acid/base sites are sterically isolated, were synthesized and characterized. These sterically isolated sites exhibited anomalous behavior, wherein the H+ species encapsulated in the Brønsted acid site did not undergo a deprotonation reaction, and the corresponding protonation reaction at the Brønsted base site failed to proceed. As a result, two states that are in a relationship of a Brønsted acid/base pair stably exist over a wide pH range without any interconversion, generating a thermodynamically metastable state. Additionally, these two states exhibited distinct electron transfer abilities and reactivities. The system presented in this study is in sharp contrast with the traditional concept of Brønsted-Lowry acids and bases.

Abstract
Here we present our preliminary results on a novel approach to encapsulate large guest molecules in nanoporous materials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), via a newly discovered in situ crystal formation. This method has exciting prospects not only in the design of new organic/inorganic hybrids but also in capturing and separating molecules that are significantly larger than the actual pore size of the host MOF.

Abstract
Construction and investigation of dual-functional metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with luminescent sensing and proton conduction provide widespread applications in clean energy and environmental monitoring fields. By selecting a phosphonic acid ligand 4-pyridyl-CH2N(CH2PO3H2)2 (H4L) and coligand 2,2'-biimidazole (H2biim), two cadmium-based MOFs [Cd1.5(HL)(H2biim)0.5] (1) and (H4biim)0.5·[Cd2(L)(H2biim)Cl] (2) with different structures and properties have been hydrothermally synthesized by controlling reaction temperature. Based on the excellent thermal and chemical stabilities, and good luminescent stabilities in water solution, 1 and 2 can serve as luminescent sensors of chloramphenicol (CAP) with different quenching constant (KSV) values and detection limits (LODs) in water, simulated environmental system, and real fish water system. Meanwhile, different sensing effects and possible sensing mechanisms are analyzed in detail. Moreover, 1 and 2 can also serve as good proton-conducting materials. The proton conductivities can reach up to 1.41 × 10-4 S cm-1 for 1 and 1.02 × 10-3 S cm-1 for 2 at 368 K and 95% relative humidity (RH). Among them, 2 shows better luminescent sensing and proton conduction performance than 1, which indicates that different crystal structures have a great impact on the properties of MOFs. Through the discussion of the relationship between structures and properties in detail, the possible reasons for the differences in properties are obtained, which can provide theoretical guidance for the rational design of this kind of dual-functional MOFs in the future.

Abstract
Metal-oxo clusters have emerged as advanced proton conductors with well-defined and tunable structures. Nevertheless, the exploitation of metal-oxo clusters with high and stable proton conductivity over a relatively wide temperature range still remains a great challenge. Herein, three sulfate groups decorated zirconium-oxo clusters (Zr6 , Zr18 , and Zr70 ) as proton conductors are reported, which exhibit ultrahigh bulk proton conductivities of 1.71 × 10-1 , 2.01 × 10-2 , and 3.73 × 10-2 S cm-1 under 70 °C and 98% relative humidity (RH), respectively. Remarkably, Zr6 and Zr70 with multiple sulfate groups as proton hopping sites show ultralow activation energies of 0.22 and 0.18 eV, respectively, and stable bulk conductivities of >10-2 S cm-1 between 30 and 70 °C at 98% RH. Moreover, a time-dependent proton conductivity test reveals that the best performing Zr6 can maintain high proton conductivity up to 15 h with negligible loss at 70 °C and 98% RH, representing one of the best crystalline cluster-based proton conducting materials.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline porous materials with periodic network structures formed by self-assembly of metal ions and organic ligands. Attributed to their tunable composition and pore size, ultrahigh surface area (1000-7000 m2/g) and pore volume (1.04-4.40 cm3/g), easy surface modification, appropriate physiological stability, etc., MOFs have been widely used in biomedical applications in the last two decades, especially for the delivery of bioactive agents. In the initial stage, MOFs were widely used to load small molecule drugs with ultra-high doses. Whereafter, more recent work has focused on the load of biomacromolecules, such as nucleic acids and proteins. Over the past years, we have devoted extensive effort to investigate the function of MOF materials for bioactive agent delivery. MOFs can be used not only as an intelligent nanocarrier to deliver or protect bioactive agents but also as an activator for their release or activation in response to the different microenvironments. Altogether, this review details the current progress of MOF materials for bioactive agent delivery and looks into their future development.

Abstract
The synthesis of phosphonate esters is a topic of interest for various fields, including the preparation of phosphonic acids to be employed as organic linkers for the construction of metal phosphonate materials. We report an alternative method that requires no solvent and involves a different order of addition of reactants to perform the transition-metal-catalyzed C–P cross-coupling reaction, often referred to as the Tavs reaction, employing NiCl2 as a pre-catalyst in the phosphonylation of aryl bromide substrates using triisopropyl phosphite. This new method was employed in the synthesis of three novel aryl diphosphonate esters which were subsequently transformed to phosphonic acids through silylation and hydrolysis.
