Two-for-one strategy: Three-dimensional porous Fe-doped CoO cathode and N-doped carbon anode derived from a single bimetallic metal-organic framework for enhanced hybrid supercapacitor.

"Two-for-one" strategy is an effective method to construct two kinds of materials from a single precursor owing to the simplicity of fabricating procedure and reduction of manufacturing cost. However, such a strategy has seldom been utilized to produce both battery-type and capacitive electrodes of a hybrid supercapacitor (HSC) device. Here, we adopt the "two-for-one" strategy to fabricate three-dimensional (3D) porous iron-doped (Fe-doped) CoO and nitrogen-doped (N-doped) carbon via a single bimetallic metal-organic framework, FeCo-ZIF-67.

Chiral Proline-Decorated Bifunctional Pd@NH-UiO-66 Catalysts for Efficient Sequential Suzuki Coupling/Asymmetric Aldol Reactions.

The design and development of site-isolating and multifunctional catalysts for multistep sequential reactions at the molecular level is a significant challenge. Herein, we first report bifunctional metal NPs@chiral MOFs catalysts for asymmetric sequential reactions. Pd nanoparticles and chiral proline were successfully added to NH-UiO-66 to construct two chiral bifunctional catalysts, in which active Pd nanoparticles were encapsulated into the frameworks via the "bottle-around-ship" method, and chiral proline was introduced into NH-UiO-66 by coordination to zirconium nodes and postsynthetic modification (PSM) of the organic linkers.
