Two-dimensional heterostructures built from ultrathin CeO2 nanosheet surface-coordinated and confined metal–organic frameworks with enhanced stability and catalytic performance

“…55 Though CeO 2 is not a good OER catalysts, these results clearly demonstrate that CeO 2 could essentially improve activity and stability for electrocatalysis by coordinated with particular 2D MOF materials. 56 In comparison with other uniformly structured counterpart, 2D heterostructures exhibits greater stability and provides more efficient charge transfer. 57,58 Fig.…”

A Novel Cerium(IV)‐Based Metal‐Organic Framework for CO2 Chemical Fixation and Photocatalytic Overall Water Splitting

“…Over the last few decades, MOFs constructed by the coordination connection of organic ligands to the metal ions or clusters in a periodic manner have emerged as multifunctional porous materials for diverse applications on the basis of their tunable pore sizes, high specific surface areas and diverse chemical functionalities. [1][2][3][4][5][6] In recent years, tetravalent cerium [Ce IV ]based MOFs have attracted much growing research attentions due to their unique and attractive properties: (i) Lewis acidity similar to the widely studied Zr IV /Hf IV based MOFs; (ii) redox activity derived from the inherent switching tendency between the Ce 4 + /Ce 3 + redox couple; (iii) photocatalytic characteristics gifted by the ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) profiting from the low-lying empty 4f orbitals of Ce 4 + . [7,8] However, the syntheses and applications of Ce IV -MOFs are still in its infancy and challenging to be developed.…”

Boosting H2 Production over C60‐Mediated NH2‐MIL‐125(Ti)/Zn0.5Cd0.5S S‐Scheme Heterojunction via Enhanced Interfacial Carrier Separation

“…With the depletion of energy and ensuing environmental issues, the generation of H 2 from H 2 O using solar light has caused widespread attention. [1][2][3] The design and development of photocatalysts remain an important challenge in photocatalysis. Owing to the semiconductor-like and crystalline natures, tunable bandgaps, and large surface area of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) materials, it is considered to be a promising material for photocatalytic H 2 evolution (PHE).…”
