Article Abstract

A cage-based metal-organic framework (Ni-NKU-101) with biphenyl-3,3',5,5'-tetracarboxylic acid was synthesized via solvothermal method. Ni-NKU-101 contains two types of cages based on trinuclear and octa-nuclear nickel-clusters that are connected with each other by the 4-connected ligands, to form a 3D framework with a new topology. A mixed-metal strategy was used to synthesize isostructural bimetallic MOFs of M Ni -NKU-101 (M=Mn, Co, Cu, Zn). The electrocatalytic studies showed that the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity of Cu Ni -NKU-101 is much higher than that of other M Ni -NKU-101 catalysts in acidic aqueous solution, owing to the synergistic effect of the bimetallic centers. The optimized Cu Ni -NKU-101 has an overpotential of 324 mV at 10 mA cm and a Tafel slope of 131 mV dec . The mechanism of HER activity over these bimetallic MOF-based electrocatalysts are discussed in detail.

Cage-based MOFs, with their customizable chemical environments and precisely controllable nanospaces, show great potential for the selective adsorption of guest molecules with specific structures. In this work, we have constructed a novel cage-based MOF [(CH)NH][(UO)(TMTTA)]·11.5DMF·2HO (IHEP-51), utilizing a triazine derivative poly(carboxylic acid), 4,4',4″-(((1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triyl)tris(((4-carboxycyclohexyl)methyl)azanediyl))tris(methylene))tribenzoic acid (HTMTTA), as an organic ligand and uranyl as a metal node.

Article Synopsis
  • The research explores the use of porous organic cages (POCs) as quasi-solid-state electrolytes (QSSEs) in lithium-metal batteries (LMBs), highlighting their potential for improving ion transport.
  • The POC-based QSSE exhibits impressive properties, including a Li transference number of 0.67, ionic conductivity of 1.25 × 10 S cm, and low activation energy of 0.17 eV, enabling efficient lithium deposition and reversible plating/stripping for over 2000 hours.
  • As a result, the LMB using this QSSE shows strong cycling performance, with 85% capacity retention after 1000 cycles, suggesting POCs could also benefit other energy-storage systems like sodium and potassium

A strategy for constructing binary metal-organic cage (MOC)-based materials was developed. The cationic MOCs were covalently linked by organic linkers to a cationic extended network, whereas the anionic MOCs acted as counterions and were encapsulated in the network. Compared with the corresponding unary materials, the binary MOC-based materials exhibited improved porosity and adsorption performance.

Atherosclerosis (AS) is a common cause of coronary heart disease and stroke. The delivery of exogenous HS and in situ production of O within atherosclerotic plaques can help suppress inflammatory cell infiltration and alleviate disease progression. However, the uncontrolled release of gas donors hinders achieving effective drug concentrations and causes toxic effects.
