A porous and flexible Zn-MOF was synthesized under solvothermal conditions by using the ligand 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (2,5-FDA). This flexible Zn-MOF demonstrates a temperature-triggered breathing effect. At low temperature (100 K), we obtained the high-symmetry MOF denoted as with a unit cell volume of 1958 Å, characterized by triangular narrow pore (np) channels. Upon increasing the temperature from 100 K to 298 K, the lower symmetry referred to as was obtained, featuring rhombic large pore (lp) channels, along with an expanded unit cell volume of 7823 Å. This temperature-induced phase transition involves distortion of the channels and a change in the dimensionality of the framework from 3D () to 2D (). The flexible behavior and phase transition were thoroughly justified with the help of single-crystal X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry. Additionally, BET analysis revealed a surface area of 85.504 m/g, with mesopores of 3.05 nm. Leveraging the large-pore channels, at room temperature was employed as an adsorbent for the removal of hazardous iodine in both the vapor and the solution phases. The discovery of such dynamic MOFs holds potential and may pave the way for novel strategies in advanced applications.

As donors for effective energy transfer, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted the attention of many experts in the field of artificial light-harvesting materials. This study introduces a novel two-dimensional Zn-MOF, synthesized using flexible 1,3-phenyldiacetic acid (Hmpda) and rigid 1,3,5-tris(1-imidazolyl)benzene (tib) as organic ligands. Through atomic force microscopy (AFM), we have determined the monolayer thickness of this novel material to be 5 nm.

Aqueous zinc-iodine batteries (AZIBs) are highly appealing for energy requirements owing to their safety, cost-effectiveness, and scalability. However, the inadequate redox kinetics and severe shuttling effect of polyiodide ions impede their commercial viability. Herein, several Zn-MOF-derived porous carbon materials are designed, and the further preparation of iron-doped porous carbon (Fe-N-C, M9) with varied Fe doping contents is optimized based on a facile self-assembly/carbonization approach.

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have garnered significant attention in the development of stretchable and wearable conductive hydrogels for flexible transducers. However, MOFs used in hydrogel networks have been hampered by low mechanical performance and poor dispersibility in aqueous solutions, which affect the performance of hydrogels, including low toughness, limited self-recovery, short working ranges, low conductivity, and prolonged response-recovery times. To address these shortcomings, a novel approach was adopted in which micelle co-polymerization was used for the synthesis of Zn-MOF-based hydrogels with exceptional stretchability, robust toughness, anti-fatigue properties, and commendable conductivity.
