Article Abstract

Carbon materials derived from metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have excellent properties of high surface area, high porosity, adjustable pore size, high conductivity and stability, and their applications in catalysis have become a rapidly expanding research field. In this review, we have summarized the synthesis strategies of MOF-derived carbons with different physical and chemical properties, obtained through direct carbonization, co-pyrolysis and post-treatment. The potential applications of derived carbons, especially monometal-, bimetal-, nonmetal-doped and metal-free carbons in organo-catalysis, photocatalysis and electrocatalysis are analyzed in detail from the environmental perspective. In addition, the improvement of catalytic efficiency is also considered from the aspects of increasing active sites, enhancing the activity of reactants and promoting free electron transfer. The function and synergy of various species of the composites in the catalytic reaction are summarized. The reaction paths and mechanisms are analyzed, and research ideas or trends are proposed for further development.

The conversion of abundant lignin was of great significance for the utilization of biomass resources. In this study, lignin sulfonate (LS) was selected as a carbon-based support, which was successfully introduced into the NiCo-MOF structure. A series of lignin and MOF hybrid catalysts (NiCo-MOF-LS) with varying metal ratios of Ni and Co were synthesized via the hydrothermal method.

The ability to tailor surface area, porosity, and morphologies has driven extensive research into the synthesis of metal-organic frameworks derived carbons and their applications in energy storage. This study presents the development of three-dimensional hierarchically porous carbon derived from polystyrene and small-sized zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) particles. Incorporating nanometer-sized ZIF-8 particles forms a core-shell structure in the pre-carbonization stage, transforming into a porous carbon material with a range of pores from micro to macropores after carbonization.

Metal-organic framework (MOF) derived spherical porous carbon (SPC) has potential application value in the field of adsorption and sustained release of nitroimidazole drugs. This work used MIL-53(Fe) as a precursor and prepared spherical 3-aminophenol-formaldehyde resin containing MIL-53(Fe) crystals using the advanced Stöber method, followed by the successful preparation of MIL-53(Fe) derived SPC (MSPC) with a structure containing both micropores and mesopores through high-temperature carbonization. The effects of the doping amount of MIL-53(Fe) on the sphericity and particle size of MSPC were investigated.

In this study, we report a novel and cost-effective solution for removing parabens from water by combining MOF-derived porous carbons and 3D printing. In addition to being easy to prepare, the resulting 3D-printed device, with a cube-array structure, can also be fabricated in a robust column format for flow-through extraction of pollutants. Using an in-situ growth method, ZIF-8 MOF was directly deposited onto a 3D-printed device, achieving a stable and durable integration of the MOF onto the device.
