A Double‐Helix Metal‐Chain Metal‐Organic Framework as a High‐Output Triboelectric Nanogenerator Material for Self‐Powered Anticorrosion

Abstract

The development of novel metal organic framework (MOF) friction power generation materials with high stability is important. This paper reports the first example of a double-helix metal chain organic framework with a network structure (ZUT-8). ZUT-8 shows high chemical stability, functional adjustability, and excellent output performance of friction power generation, which is superior to traditional coordination polymer materials. The cathodic protection system with ZUT-8 can prevent metal corrosion significantly. The output performance can be improved effectively by enhancing the conjugate effect of the linker. The theoretical calculation results showed that an increase in the degree of conjugation could significantly reduce the band gap, thereby affecting the friction power output signal. This study opens the door to constructing MOF materials with a double-helix metal chain and will promote their potential applications in self-powered electrochemical cathodic protection.

3D nanocrystalline metal–organic framework materials for the improved output performance of triboelectric nanogenerators

“…As expected, Cd-MOF with higher HOMO energy is more likely to transfer electrons from Cd 2+ nodes to produce CEs, which provides an advantageous impact for the TENG. 61…”

Rational Construction of Metal Organic Framework Hybrid Assemblies for Visible Light-Driven CO2 Conversion

“…Typically, the photocatalytic CO 2 reduction process mainly includes light harvesting, the separation/transfer of photogenerated electron carrier, and the adsorbed/activated CO 2 molecules . As a central part of MOF/g-C 3 N 4 composites, MOFs are easier to achieve a precise regulation of target characteristics. , The reactive sites of photocatalysts can be constructed by selecting preset organic linkers or metal cations/clusters , to achieve the purpose of adsorption and activation of CO 2 molecules via stabilizing the reaction intermediates and reducing the energy barrier. In addition, highly conjugated organic linkers like pyrene, anthracene, perylene, and porphyrin can also be conducive to the intramolecular charge-transfer process. , The introduction of functional groups (−NH 2 , −OH, etc.)…”

Sulfonated covalent organic framework packed Nafion membrane with high proton conductivity for H2/O2fuel cell applications

“…In particular, building blocks containing various functional groups (e.g., sulfonates, amino, carboxyl) can be used to design COFs in a bottom-up strategy, which can effectively enhance the proton conductivity of the materials. [42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51] If sulfonate-based COFs are successfully introduced into proton conduction polymers, they can provide additional proton transfer sites, thus improving the ion exchange capacity of the membrane and forming interfacial proton transfer channels, thus hopefully providing a potential solution to the above dilemma.…”
