Iron−sulfur clusters play essential roles in biological systems, and thus synthetic [Fe 4 S 4 ] clusters have been an area of active research. Recent studies have demonstrated that soluble [Fe 4 S 4 ] clusters can serve as net H atom transfer mediators, improving the activity and selectivity of a homogeneous Mn CO 2 reduction catalyst. Here, we demonstrate that incorporating these [Fe 4 S 4 ] clusters into a coordination polymer enables heterogeneous H atom transfer from an electrode surface to a Mn complex dissolved in solution. A previously reported solution-processable Fe 4 S 4 -based coordination polymer was successfully deposited on the surfaces of different electrodes. The coated electrodes serve as H atom transfer mediators to a soluble Mn CO 2 reduction catalyst displaying good product selectivity for formic acid. Furthermore, these electrodes are recyclable with a minimal decrease in activity after multiple catalytic cycles. The heterogenization of the mediator also enables the characterization of solution-phase and electrode surface species separately. Surface enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy (SEIRAS) reveals spectroscopic signatures for an in situ generated active Mn−H species, providing a more complete mechanistic picture for this system. The active species, reaction mechanism, and the protonation sites on the [Fe 4 S 4 ] clusters were further confirmed by density functional theory calculations. The observed H atom transfer reactivity of these coordination polymer-coated electrodes motivates additional applications of this composite material in reductive H atom transfer electrocatalysis.

The development of nanocomposite microwave absorbers is a critical strategy for tackling electromagnetic pollution. However, challenges persist regarding material stability and achieving broadband absorption. Herein, a novel multi−scale design approach for metamaterial absorbers is proposed. First, a series of bimetallic (cobalt and copper) semiconductive metal–organic framework (SC−MOF) crystals with atomically resolved structures are successfully prepared to serve as building blocks for metamaterials. By simply adjusting the concentration ratio of the two ions, the controllable preparation of crystal morphology can be achieved. This enables to precisely tune the absorption peak and bandwidth range of the SC−MOF, resulting in excellent EMW absorption performance (effective absorption bandwidth: 6.16 GHz, minimum reflection loss: −61 dB). Based on this, printable inks are further constructed by encapsulating the SC−MOF in polydimethylsiloxane and 3D‐printed multi−layered metamaterial absorbers based on woodpile porous architecture. The metamaterial absorber demonstrates a near‐perfect absorption in the microwave spectrum (with a bandwidth of 11.33 GHz), closely matching theoretical simulations. This multi−scale design approach, combining precise MOF materials construction with topological structure design, offers new insights for the development of broadband microwave absorbers.
