Unlocking active metal site of Ti-MOF for boosted heterogeneous catalysis via a facile coordinative reconstruction.

Constructing sophisticated hollow structure and exposing more metal sites in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can not only enhance their catalytic performance but also endow them with new functions. Herein, we present a facile coordinative reconstruction strategy to transform Ti-MOF polyhedron into nanosheet-assembled hollow structure with a large amount of exposed metal sites. Importantly, the reconstruction process relies on the esterification reaction between the organic solvent, i.

Bimetallic Metal-Organic Framework-Derived Carbon Nanotube-Based Frameworks for Enhanced Capacitive Deionization and Zn-Air Battery.

Carbon-based materials have attracted intensive attentions for a wide range of energy and environment-related applications. Energy storage/conversion devices with improved performance have been achieved by utilization of metal-organic-framework (MOF)-derived carbon structures as active materials in recent years. However, the effects of MOF precursors on the performance of derived carbon materials are rarely investigated.
