Hydrogen shows great promise as a carbon-neutral energy carrier that can significantly mitigate global energy challenges, offering a sustainable solution. Exploring catalysts that are highly efficient, cost-effective, and stable for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) holds crucial importance. For this, metal-organic framework (MOF) materials have demonstrated extensive applicability as either a heterogeneous catalyst or catalyst precursor.

Two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) introduce a large family of materials with versatile chemical and structural features for a variety of applications, such as supercapacitors, gas storage, and water splitting. Herein, a series of nanocomposites based on NCM/Ni-BDC@NF (N=Ni, C=Co, M:F=Fe, C=Cu, and Z=Zn, BDC: benzene dicarboxylic acid, NF: nickel foam) were directly developed on NF using a facile yet scalable solvothermal method.
