Abstract
Catalysts with an open hollow structure can enhance the mass transfer capability of the catalyst during the reaction process, thereby further improving the catalytic performance. In this work, uniform and monodisperse flying-squircher-shaped Al-MOFs were synthesized via a solvothermal method. Furthermore, a hollow structure Al2O3-supported metallic Ni catalyst (termed Ni-Al2O3-HFA) was synthesized via the Kirkendall effect for the hydrogenation-alkylation cascade reaction by employing as-synthesized Al-MOFs as a carrier for impregnation of Ni(NO3)2·6H2O through further calcination and reduction. Various characterizations (e.g., XRD, HADDF-STEM, H2-TPR) were conducted to reveal the superior performance of the developed Ni-Al2O3-HFA catalyst compared to Ni/Al2O3-IWI (Al2O3 obtained from calcination of Al-MOFs) in cascade reaction between nitroarenes and alcohols. We hope to use the MOF template method via the Kirkendall effect to prepare hollow structure nanocatalysts, which can provide a guideline for the preparation of other hollow materials.

Abstract
Through in-depth study of the properties and reaction mechanisms of catalysts, it is possible to better optimize catalytic systems and improve reaction efficiency and selectivity. This remains one of the challenges in the field of catalysis. Therefore, the research and design of catalysts play crucial roles in understanding and optimizing catalytic reaction mechanisms. A robust 2D zinc-based MOFs (Zn-HA) supported Co(II) ion catalyst (Zn-HA@Co) has been designed and synthesized via a coordination-assisted strategy for β-alkylation of secondary alcohols with primary alcohols. The characterization demonstrated that the anchoring of Co(II) on Zn-HA via coordination could efficiently enhance the Co(II) ion dispersity and interaction between Co(II) and Zn-HA MOFs. Importantly, the density functional theory results have provided mechanistic insights into the energy of the HOMO and LUMO of the Zn-HA@Co catalyst as well as the energy change of the entire process after interacting with the reactants and the specific energy changes of each orbital. The synthesized Zn-HA@Co MOFs effectively lower the energy barrier of the catalytic reaction process. We expect that our research and design of catalysts will serve as valuable guideline for understanding and optimizing catalytic reaction mechanisms.
