Recent Advances in Laser‐Induced Synthesis of MOF Derivatives

Abstract

Metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline materials with permanent pores constructed by self‐assembly of organic ligands and metal clusters through coordination bonds. Due to their diversity and tunability, MOFs have been used as precursors to be converted into other types of functional materials by pyrolytic recrystallization. Laser‐induced synthesis has been proven to be a powerful pyrolytic processing technique with fast and accurate laser irradiation, low loss, high efficiency, selectivity and programmability, which endow MOF derivatives with new features. Laser‐induced MOF derivatives exhibit high versatility in multidisciplinary research fields. In this review, we first briefly introduce the basic principles of laser smelting and the types of materials for laser preparation of MOF derivatives. Subsequently, we focus on the peculiarity of the engineering of structural defects and their applications in catalysis, environmental protection, and energy fields. Finally, we highlight the challenges and opportunities at the current stage with the aim of elucidating the future direction of the rapidly growing field of laser‐induced synthesis of MOF derivatives.This article is protected by copyright.

Copper(ii)-MOFs for bio-applications

“…However, currently, alternative methods such as microwave-assisted, sonochemical, mechanochemical, and microfluidic synthesis have been adopted, and these techniques have been mainly proposed to improve the yield and reduce costs of syntheses, as well as achieve scalability as there are only a few processes reported for use at an industrial level. 22,23…”

Laser-Driven Rapid Synthesis of Metal-Organic Frameworks and Investigation of UV-NIR Optical Absorption, Luminescence, Photocatalytic Degradation, and Gas and Ion Adsorption Properties

“…In laser-based rapid synthesis of MOFs, surface growth mechanisms employ lasers, and MOFs themselves serve as the sole substrate. A novel processing technology that primarily employs laser-induced synthesis, the rapid heating method, is distinguished by its capacity for automated manipulation as well as its clean and efficient material synthesis [ 32 ]. Laser ablation has the capability to rapidly reduce to an exceedingly high reaction temperature of approximately 4000 K in a matter of nanoseconds (>1010 K s −1 ).…”

Synergistic Effect of 3D Electrode Architecture and In Situ Carbon Coating on the Electrochemical Performance of SnO2 Anodes for Sodium-Ion Batteries

“…3 Researchers have explored many positive electrode materials for SIBs, including layered transition metal oxides, [4][5][6][7] fluorophosphates, 8 Prussian blue analogs, 9 etc State-ofart LIB anode graphite delivers limited capacity in SIB for the unfavorable energetics of Na-ion intercalation into the graphene layers. In search of potential anode 10 materials, hard carbons [11][12][13] have been explored significantly. Literature reports that hard carbon synthesized from low-cost precursors of bio-wastes, 14,15 sugars, polymers, 16 and resins delivers 300-350 mAh g −1 capacity.…”
