Metal-Hydroxide Organic Frameworks for Aqueous Nickel-Zinc Batteries.

Hydroxides exhibit a high theoretical capacity for energy storage by ion release and are often intercalated with anions to enhance the ion migration kinetics. In this study, a series of metal-hydroxide organic frameworks (MHOFs) are synthesized by intercalating aromatic organic linkers into hydroxides using I-M/Ni(OH) (where M = Co, Cu, Mg, Fe). The coordination environment and layer spacing (1.

2D MOF-assisted Pyrolysis-displacement-alloying Synthesis of High-entropy Alloy Nanoparticles Library for Efficient Electrocatalytic Hydrogen Oxidation.

Multimetallic alloy nanoparticles (NPs) have received considerable attention in various applications due to their compositional variability and exceptional properties. However, the complexity of both the general synthesis and structure-activity relationships remain the long-standing challenges in this field. Herein, we report a versatile 2D MOF-assisted pyrolysis-displacement-alloying route to successfully synthesize a series of binary, ternary and even high-entropy NPs that are uniformly dispersed on porous nitrogen-doped carbon nanosheets (PNC NSs).
