Pyridine-induced caused structural reconfiguration forming ultrathin 2D metal–organic frameworks for the oxygen evolution reaction

Abstract

Two-dimensional metal-organic frameworks (2D MOFs) as an ideal prototype material for electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) can expose more metal active sites due to their ultrathin 2D structure. Herein, a...

Chiral supramolecular polymer functionalized two-dimensional transition metal-based catalyst for enhancing the electrochemical water splitting via spin-polarized charge transfer

“…The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) restricts the advancements of technologies that rely on water splitting due to its high activation barrier and consequently its slow kinetics. 1–5 Namely, water electrolysis, electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide, rechargeable metal–air batteries, and regenerative fuel cells are greatly affected by the slow kinetics of the OER. 6,7 Exploring efficient earth-abundant catalysts for the OER has been a long-time goal.…”

Tungstic acid integrated metal–organic frameworks for efficient oxygen evolution reaction

“…Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are constructed by connecting inorganic secondary building units (SBUs) with organic ligands to form an infinitely three-dimensional chemical space, 20–23 which provides a unique platform to design homogeneous active catalytic sites into heterogeneous catalysts due to its permanent open pores. 24–27 Pioneering studies have shown that the immobilization of the cobalt-oxo cubane core (Co 4 O 4 ) into a MOF will stabilize the active sites and prevent them from intermolecular decomposition during OER catalysis. 28 However, MOF materials usually show poor conductivity and stability, which limits their catalytic performance.…”
