The shuttling of polysulfides on the cathode and the uncontrollable growth of lithium dendrites on the anode have restricted the practical application of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. In this study, a metal-coordinated 3D covalent organic framework (COF) with a homogeneous distribution of nickel-bis(dithiolene) and N-rich triazine centers (namely, NiS-TAPT) was designed and synthesized, which can serve as bifunctional hosts for both sulfur cathodes and lithium anodes in Li-S batteries. The abundant Ni centers and N-sites in NiS-TAPT can greatly enhance the adsorption and conversion of the polysulfides. Meanwhile, the presence of Ni-bis(dithiolene) centers enables uniform Li nucleation at the Li anode, thereby suppressing the growth of Li dendrites. This work demonstrated the effectiveness of integrating catalytic and adsorption sites to optimize the chemical interactions between host materials and redox-active intermediates, potentially facilitating the rational design of metal-coordinated COF materials for high-performance secondary batteries.

Since the product contains no carbon-based substances and can be driven by non-carbon-based electricity, electrocatalytic water splitting is considered to be among the most effective strategies for alleviating the energy crisis and environmental pollution. This process helps lower greenhouse gas emissions while also supporting the shift toward renewable energy sources. The anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) involves a more complex multi-electron transfer process, which is the principal limiting factor in overall water splitting.

Covalent-organic frameworks (COFs) are promising electrocatalysts for the selective synthesis of HO through the two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e ORR). However, the design and synthesis of efficient and stable COF-based electrocatalysts is still challenging. In this work, a predesigned 1,10-phenanthroline-based one-dimensional COF (PYTA-PTDE-COF) was constructed to anchor main group metal (In, Sn, and Sb) as electrocatalysts toward 2e ORR.

Article Synopsis
- * Formation of the knot was aided by Co(II) metals, which helped create a complex structure that was locked in place through oxidation and a chemical process called ring-closing olefin metathesis.
- * After removing the metal ions and modifying the structure, researchers found that the knot's design influenced how light interacts with it more than the individual chiral centers did.

Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on how heating (thermal annealing) helps create metal-organic and covalent polymer networks on metal surfaces, using a computational model that looks at both metal and carbon-carbon bonds during the self-assembly process of specific molecules.
- - A Monte Carlo simulation is used to analyze the effects of gradually removing bromine atoms from these molecules, showing that leftover halogens may cause fragmentation in the networks on copper and gold surfaces.
- - The findings indicate that the resulting networks are primarily disordered or have limited order, but improved organization can occur when bromine atoms are adequately removed, potentially leading to structures where oligomer chains are connected by metal atoms.
