Covalently Silane-Functionalized Antimonene Nanosheets and Their Copolymerized Gel Glasses for Broadband Vis-NIR Optical Limiting.

Two-dimensional antimonene has many potential applications for its high mobility, high stability, and tunable band gap. The covalent chemistry of antimonene and the molecular doping or hybrid of antimonene remain incomplete for further applications. In this work, silane-functionalized antimonene nanosheets and their copolymerized organically modified silicate gel glasses are designed and prepared.

Temperature-Dependent Morphologies of Precursors: Metal-Organic Framework-Derived Porous Carbon for High-Performance Electrochemical Double-Layer Capacitors.

In this work, three Cu metal-organic framework samples with tunable rhombic, squama, and trucated bipyramid morphologies have been synthesized at 0, 25, and 60 °C, respectively, and further employed as precursors to initially prepare Cu@C composites by the calcination-thermolysis procedure. Then Cu@C composites have been etched with HCl and subsequently activated with KOH to obtain activated porous carbon (APC-0, -25, and -60). Interestingly, APC-25 presents a loose multilevel morphology of cabbage and possesses the largest specific surface area (1880.

1D-3D mixed-ligand frameworks with an unusual dmp topology tuned by intersection angles of isomeric benzenedicarboxylates: magnetic properties, gas-dependent calcination-thermolysis and energy storage performances.

In this work, three isomeric benzenedicarboxylates, 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid (o-H2bdc), 1,3-benzenedicarboxylic acid (m-H2bdc), and 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid (p-H2bdc) have been utilized as the ancillary ligands to perform a systematic study on the structural diversity of mixed-ligand frameworks. The solvothermal reactions of Co(NO3)2 with these aromatic acids and the primary ligand 4,4'-bis(imidazolyl)biphenyl (bibp) afford three novel coordination polymers, {[Co6(bibp)3(o-bdc)6(H2O)](CH3CN)1.5}∞ (1), [Co(bibp)(m-bdc)]∞ (2), and [Co(bibp)(p-bdc)]∞ (3).
