Co (II) Boron Imidazolate Framework with Rigid Auxiliary Linkers for Stable Electrocatalytic Oxygen Evolution Reaction.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have significant potential for practical application in catalysis. However, many MOFs are shown to be sensitive to aqueous solution. This severely limits application of MOFs in electrocatalytic operations for energy production and storage.

Tuning the Intrinsic Properties of Carbon Nitride for High Quantum Yield Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production.

The low quantum yield of photocatalytic hydrogen production in carbon nitride (CN) has been improved upon via the modulation of both the extrinsic and intrinsic properties of the material. Although the modification of extrinsic properties has been widely investigated in the past, recently there has been growing interest in the alteration of intrinsic properties. Refining the intrinsic properties of CN provides flexibility in controlling the charge transport and selectivity in photoredox reactions, and therefore makes available a pathway toward superior photocatalytic performance.

Paper-Based N-Doped Carbon Films for Enhanced Oxygen Evolution Electrocatalysis.

for the assembly of graphene and graphitic carbon nitrate (g-CN) ultrathin nanosheets. The resultant materials, which possess highly active centers, rich porosity, and 3D conductive networks, can catalyze the oxygen evolution reaction with competitive activity and much better durability compared to the benchmark noble metal electrocatalysts (IrO).
