Metal–organic framework composites

Abstract

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), also known as porous coordination polymers (PCPs), synthesized by assembling metal ions with organic ligands have recently emerged as a new class of crystalline porous materials. The amenability to design as well as fine-tunable and uniform pore structures makes them promising materials for a variety of applications. Controllable integration of MOFs and functional materials is leading to the creation of new multifunctional composites/hybrids, which exhibit new properties that are superior to those of the individual components through the collective behavior of the functional units. This is a rapidly developing interdisciplinary research area. This review provides an overview of the significant advances in the development of diverse MOF composites reported till now with special emphases on the synergistic effects and applications of the composites. The most widely used and successful strategies for composite synthesis are also presented.

Bimetallic zeolite imidazolate framework for enhanced lithium storage boosted by the redox participation of nitrogen atoms

“…Because the commercial anode graphite could only deliver a relatively low theoretical capacity of 372 mA h g −1 , the development of new type anode materials with high capacity is one of the most important tasks in improving the performance of future LIBs [2]. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) including zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) with tunable metal centers and organic linkers are designed to meet various demands, including gas storage and separation, sensing, catalysis and drug delivery [3][4][5][6]. Recently, conjugated carboxylates based MOFs, such as Co-BDC [7,8], Mn-BDC [9], Fe-BDC [10,11], Mn-BTC [12], CoBTC [13], Cu-BTC [14] and Fe-BTC [15], are being employed in LIBs and have attracted tremendous attention for their high performances.…”

“…Current interest in metal organic coordination polymers (CPs) is rapidly increasing owing to their intriguing architectures and potential applications [1][2][3]. For this reason many CPs with various structures were reported.…”

Composites of Carbonaceous Materials and Metal-organic Frameworks

“…Ponadto, posiadają wąskie mikropory, które są zaletą w przypadku wychwytywania cząsteczek adsorbatu, jednakże znacznie spowalniają proces przenoszenia masy, a tym samym wydajność adsorpcji [21]. Na szczęście, tworzenie kompozytów MOF z innymi komponentami pozwala wykorzystać ich zalety przy jednoczesnym pominięciu wad [26]. Obecnie pojawiło się szereg kompozytów MOF z wieloma materiałami, np.…”

“…Obecnie pojawiło się szereg kompozytów MOF z wieloma materiałami, np. nanocząstkami metali/tlenków metali, kropkami kwantowymi, związkami krzemowymi, organicznymi polimerami, polioksometalanami (POM), biomolekułami i materiałami węglowymi [21,26]. W literaturze można znaleźć wiele przykładów kompozytów, w których ten porowaty materiał spełnia zadanie napełniacza (discontinuous phase) lub osnowy/matrycy (continuous phase) [27].…”
