Metal oxide integrated metal organic frameworks (MO@MOF): rational design, fabrication strategy, characterization and emerging photocatalytic applications

Abstract

This review focuses on the possible synthesis route, characterization techniques, and mechanistic pathways involved in the photocatalytic applications of MO@MOFs.

Heterostructured hybrids of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent–organic frameworks (COFs)

“…MOF/COF-based heterostructures and hybrids with precise heterostructures tend to efficiently provide vast possibilities to extend their applicability. 27,28 The following discussion focuses on the construction mechanism of different types of heterostructured MOF/COF-based hybrid materials.…”

Challenges and prospects in the selective photoreduction of CO2 to C1 and C2 products with nanostructured materials: a review

“…132 These mechanistic approaches are usually measured based on the work function, Fermi energy level, and electric field position at the interface of the semiconductor. 133 These parameters are significantly important in defining the electrical structure of interfaces between the materials, as well as controlling charge exchange and transport processes across interfaces in heterojunctions. Specific changes in the work function, Fermi energy level, and vacuum level position occur during the development of heterojunctions, which is explained here using an example.…”

Metal organic framework-based Janus nanomaterials: rational design, strategic fabrication and emerging applications

“…Thus, they can be used to overcome the problems faced by traditional nanomaterials having low active surface area and functionalities. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] By this way, MOFs and their derived products can be potentially suited for a myriad of applications, involving biomedicines, catalysis, electro-catalysis, pollutant removal, energy storage, molecular propulsion, and others. [15][16][17] Apart from that, researchers have lately begun combining MOFs with other functional materials in order to impart additional functions to these nanoparticles and hence, paving the way for an advanced class of nanomaterials.…”
