Self-sacrifice MOFs for heterogeneous catalysis: Synthesis mechanisms and future perspectives

Structural engineering of metal–organic layers toward stable Li–CO2 batteries

“…[12][13][14][15][16][17] However, the bulky nature of MOFs impedes the further enhancement of catalytic performance by reason of limited exposure of catalytic surface. [18][19][20] In this regard at least, lowering the size of bulky MOFs into two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic layers (MOLs) holds great promise for boosting CO 2 reduction/evolution kinetics due to their well exposed catalytically active sites and inherited structural advantages. [21][22][23] MOLs can be prepared by a bottom-up approach, with selecting organic ligands and adjusting synthesis conditions.…”

MOF catalysis meets biochemistry: molecular insights from the hydrolytic activity of MOFs towards biomolecules

“…[15][16][17] Their intrinsic modular nature provides a unique opportunity for structure design, featuring atomic-level control through linker-SBU combination. Together with straightforward synthetic protocols (or post-synthetic modifications), [18][19][20] this simplicity prompted the development of thousands of unique MOF structures, with vast potential as catalysts, [21][22][23][24] absorbents, 25 filters, 26 structural hosts for biological substances, 27 energy storage materials 28 and sensors. 29 In comparison, the structural diversity of fully inorganic aluminosilicate zeolites (M 2/x O•Al 2 O 3 •ySiO 2 •zH 2 O, x = valence, y = 2-200, z = confined water), which share many structural and chemical properties with MOFs, 15,17,30,31 relies on a template-dependent synthesisbe that solvent or surfaceto ensure structural uniformity, and to prevent fracturing of the material during transfers.…”

Multiple Interpenetrating Metal–Organic Frameworks with Channel-Size-Dependent Behavior for Selective Gossypol Detection and Perovskite Quantum Dot Encapsulation

“…Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are formed by the coordination of inorganic nodes with organic polydentate ligands. In the past few decades, the design and synthesis of MOFs have undergone tremendous advances. − Benefiting from multiple advantages, such as high specific surface area and tunable functional sites, MOFs with diverse structures have been applied in gas storage and separation, , drug loading, catalysis, detection probes, and many other fields . Interpenetration in MOFs is an intriguing phenomenon, which has significant effects on the structure and properties.…”
