2D metal–organic framework-based materials for electrocatalytic, photocatalytic and thermocatalytic applications

Abstract

Ultrathin two-dimensional metal–organic frameworks (2D MOFs) have recently attracted extensive interest in various catalytic fields (e.g., electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, thermocatalysis) due to their ultrathin thickness, large surface area, abundant accessible unsaturated...

Self-supported metal–organic framework-based nanostructures as binder-free electrodes for supercapacitors

“…(3) The aligned nanostructures effectively prevent the collapse of electrode materials and expose more electroactive sites. [29][30][31][32][33][34] In this regard, many MOF-based electrode materials have been directly fabricated on conductive substrates in the forms of self-supported one-dimensional (1D), two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) nanostrucutures in recent years (Scheme 1). [35][36][37][38] A large number of excellent reviews have been published in recent years focusing on MOF-based materials and their applications in energy-related fields.…”

A Review of MOFs and Their Composites‐Based Photocatalysts: Synthesis and Applications

“…[ 47–50 ] Compared with other semiconductor‐based photocatalysts, MOFs‐based photocatalysts also present other merits: i) the organic and inorganic compounds of MOFs can enhance the structural stability, [ 16,35 ] ii) the structure of MOFs with tunable components can promote the carrier charge separation and transfer rate, [ 17,35 ] iii) high porosity of MOFs can efficiently provide abundant light absorption sites which can result in superior light absorption ability. [ 20,44,46 ] Motivated by these advantages, many researchers attempt to synthesize various types of MOFs and their composites photocatalysts by different strategies, including solvothermal method, [ 51 ] hydrothermal reaction method, [ 52 ] solution precipitation route, [ 53 ] sonication approach, [ 54 ] microwave approach, [ 55 ] oil bath method, [ 56 ] template method, [ 57 ] etc.…”

Spray drying-assisted construction of hierarchically porous ZIF-8 for controlled release of doxorubicin

“…Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), a class of hybrid porous coordination materials assembled with metal centers and organic ligands, 1,2 have attracted extensive attention and exhibit promising applications in storage, 3,4 adsorption and separation, 5–9 catalysis, 10–15 sensing, 16–18 and drug delivery 19–23 owing to their structural diversity, large surface area, and high porosity. As a potential drug carrier, compared with other traditional materials such as polymeric micelles, liposomes and inorganic nanoparticles, 24–26 some MOFs are advantageous on account of their high loading capacity, biodegradability, and nontoxicity when specific ligands and metals (Fe, Zn, Ca, etc .)…”
