Amorphous metal-organic frameworks (aMOFs) are highly attractive for electrocatalytic applications due to their exceptional conductivity and abundant defect sites, but harsh preparation conditions of "top-down" strategy have hindered their widespread use. Herein, the scalable production of aMIL-68(In)-NH was successfully achieved through a facile "bottom-up" strategy involving ligand competition with 2-methylimidazole. Multiple and characterizations reveal that aMIL-68(In)-NH evolutes into In/InO as the genuine active sites during the CO electrocatalytic reduction (CORR) process.

Highly active and durable bifunctional materials are of pivotal importance for energy conversion and storage devices, yet a comprehensive understanding of their geometric and electronic influence on electrochemical activity is urgently needed. Fe-N-C materials with physical and chemical structural merits are considered as one of the promising candidates for efficient oxygen reduction reaction electrocatalysts and supercapacitor electrodes. Herein, FeC nanoparticles supported on a porous N-doped carbon framework (denoted as FeC/PNCF) were readily prepared by one-step chemical vapor deposition under the assistance of a NaCl salt template.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are promising candidates for the controllable design of electrocatalysts. However, bifunctional electrocatalytic activities for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) remain challenging in COFs. In this study, imidazolium-rich COFs (IMCOFs) with well-defined active sites and characteristic three-dimensional assembly structures were readily prepared, and their electronic structures were tuned by Co incorporation to elicit bifunctional electrocatalytic activities for the ORR and OER.

The di-copper(II) analogue, [Cu(bis-LEt)](BF) (2), of the previously reported mono-copper(II) complex [CuLEt]BF (1) which resulted in long lived electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), has been prepared, characterised and tested for HER. The new bis-macrocycle, bis-HLEt, was formed from two HLEt Schiff base macrocycles (prepared by 1 + 1 condensation of 2,2'-iminobisbenzaldehyde and diethylenetriamine) being connected by selective alkylation of the less sterically hindered secondary alkyl amine group (NH) of each, using α,α'-dibromo--xylene to form a linker between them. The desired dicopper(II) complex, [Cu(bis-LEt)](BF)·4HO (2·4HO), was readily prepared, as a yellowish brown solid in 82% yield.
