The search for low-cost and high-performance electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) has aroused enormous research interest in the last few years. Reported herein is the topotactic construction of a binuclear Co-based metal-organic framework (Co2-tzpa) using a solvothermal reaction. Prominently, as a porous catalyst, Co2-tzpa holds its activity for at least 25 hours and exhibits low OER overpotentials of 336 and 396 mV to achieve the current density of 10 mA cm-2 in 1 M KOH and 0.1 M KOH, respectively. The excellent OER performance should be attributed to each cobalt site coordinated with two tetrazolate N atoms.

The design and development of proton conduction materials for clean energy-related applications is obviously important and highly desired but challenging. An ultrastable cobalt-based metal-organic framework , formulated as [Co(btzip)(μ-OH)] (namely, , Hbtzip = 4, 6-bis(triazol-1-yl)-isophthalic acid) had been successfully synthesized via the hydrothermal method. exhibits a three-dimensional framework and a one-dimensional microporous channel structure with topology based on the binuclear metallic cluster {Co}.

Assemblies that mimic natural lipid bilayers are theoretically efficient for photocatalytic CO reduction; however, such an approach has not been yet explored. Herein, metallogels (LG/Nico-Co) based on the co-assembly of L-glutamic acid lipid (LG/Nico) and cobalt ions exhibited excellent photocatalytic CO reduction, with 208 724 μmol g CO production within 24 h and 90 % CO/H selectivity, or 166 826 μmol g CO production within 12 h and 46 % CO/H selectivity, depending on the water content of the solvent. The alkyl chains of LG/Nico provide a hydrophobic microenvironment for efficient gas transfer, and the assembled bilayers induce a synergistic effect between two adjacent Co ions for catalyzing the CO reduction reaction.

A new approach in which a low symmetry cluster meets a low symmetry ligand to sharply boost the thermal stability of a MOF via additional inter-linker interactions is presented for the first time, leading to the successful synthesis of a novel binuclear Co-based MOF, {[Co(L)DMF]·1.5DMF·0.75MeOH·1.
