Perspectives on metal–organic frameworks with intrinsic electrocatalytic activity

Abstract

This highlight article focuses on the rapidly emerging area of electrocatalytic metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with a particular emphasis on those systems displaying intrinsic activity.

Metal–Organic Framework Based Catalysts for Hydrogen Evolution

“…Similar to other porous catalysts, MOFs can be either used in their pristine forms, [27] or be applied as supporting frameworks to disperse, immobilize, or even isolate extrinsic catalytically active species, owing to their well-developed and tailorable porous networks.

Boosting Electrochemical Water Oxidation with Metal Hydroxide Carbonate Templated Prussian Blue Analogues

“…[5,6] In particular,m etal-organic framework (MOF)derived catalyst systems have been developed with improved electrochemical activity due to availability of the increased amount of the active sites. [8,9] Though the versatility and stability of PBAs in electrochemical processes are well-explored, [10] their application in the field of water oxidation has only few examples.

[9] After the characterization of the catalyst system, we investigated the water oxidation activity in 1m aqueous KOHs olution by cyclic voltammetry (CV) studies. [17] It should be mentioned that the formation of non-stoichiometric PBAi sm ore favorable than the stoichiometric PBAo wing to the reduced availability of the template surface with the progress of the reaction.…”

“…[7] Recently,P russian blue analogues (PBAs) have been extensively studied as anew class of materials for the energy-related applications such as batteries, supercapacitors,oro xygen reduction reactions. [8,9] Though the versatility and stability of PBAs in electrochemical processes are well-explored, [10] their application in the field of water oxidation has only few examples. [11] The water splitting activities of the cyanide-bridged materials are poor compared to their metal oxide counterpart.…”
