Article Abstract

Sodium-ion batteries capable of charging and discharging rapidly and durably are eagerly demanded to replace current lithium-ion batteries. However, large Na ions need more space to accommodate them. Metal-organic frameworks are promising anode materials, and their structure and performance are governed by organic ligands. Herein, we report a ligand engineering to design metal-organic frameworks with large conjugated naphthalene-2,6-dicarboxylic acid. Self-supported arrays of metal-organic frameworks reveal robust sodium storage when used as a binder-free anode. The uniquely long and conjugated aromatic ligands endow the metal-organic frameworks with rich sites to accommodate Na ions, thus enabling a high reversible capacity for sodium storage. As a result, such metal-organic frameworks exhibit a high capacity of 330 mAh g at 1000 mA g with remarkable rate capability and cycling performance. This work provides an exciting ligand strategy to design high-capacity metal-organic framework materials and would find extensive applications in various energy storage systems.

The efficient immobilization of redox mediators remains a major challenge in the design of mediated enzyme electrode platforms. In addition to stability, the ability of the redox-active material to mediate electron transfer from the active-site buried enzymes, such as flavin adenine dinucleotide-dependent glucose dehydrogenase (FADGDH) and lactate oxidase (LOx), is also crucial. Conventional immobilization techniques can be synthetically challenging, and immobilized mediators often exhibit limited durability, particularly in continuous operation.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) hold considerable promise for environmental remediation owing to their exceptional performance and distinctive structure. Nonetheless, the practical implementation of MOFs encounters persistent technical hurdles, notably susceptibility to loss, challenging recovery, and potential environmental toxicity arising from the fragility, insolubility, and poor processability of MOFs. MOF-based three-dimensional macrostructures (3DMs) inherit the advantageous attributes of the original MOFs, such as ultra-high specific surface area, tunable pore size, and customizable structure, while also incorporating the intriguing characteristics of bulk materials, including hierarchical structure, facile manipulation, and structural flexibility.
