Nanoarchitectonics and catalytic performances of metal–organic frameworks supported metal nanoparticles

Abstract

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) supported metal nanoparticles (MNPs) (MNPs@MOFs) composites, as a class of effective functional materials, have been extensively explored because of the synergetic effect of MOFs and MNPs. Lots of synthesized methods are developed to synthesize MNPs@MOFs composites. These strategies can be generally divided into four main synthesis strategies: ship‐in‐the‐bottle, bottle‐around‐the‐ship, one‐pot, and sandwich assembly approaches. In this review, the recent synthesized strategies are discussed and summarized for the design and fabrication of different MNPs@MOFs composites. Then, the catalytic applications of some MNPs@MOFs composites are presented. Lastly, the challenges and future perspectives are also pointed out in this hot research filed.

Facile synthesis of a 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalic acid-based charge transfer cocrystal for photoelectric applications

“…The development of charge transfer materials has drawn ever-increasing attention towards solar cells, field effect transistors, photodetectors, photocatalysis, and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and so on. 1–6 Charge transfer would cause the orbital hybridization between the highest occupied molecular orbital of the donor and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital of the acceptor, resulting in more appealing physicochemical properties. 7,8 In this context, co-crystalline engineering driven by non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonds, halogen bonds, electrostatic and π–π stacking interactions between the donor and acceptor (D–A) has been proven as a promising and effective approach to obtain novel and unpredicted physicochemical properties by the synergistic and collected effects.…”
