Abstract
The joint of metal organic frameworks (MOF) as exceptional electro-catalysts brings a new era for both oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Various types of MOF-analogues, MOF-composites, and MOF-derivatives are extensively investigated for accelerating the reaction kinetics and thereby improving the faradic efficiency. In this review article, we give a short review of the intrinsic MOFs reporting in the recent four years (2021–2024), especially for those synthesized by the thermal-treatments lower than 200 °C to maintain their intrinsic crystal structures. In order to deliver a comprehensive correlation between the intrinsic MOF architecture and the electrochemical contribution toward water splitting, possible structural collapse of MOFs, additives, binders, mixtures, and composites are excluded. Then several types of intrinsic MOFs are categorized by the molecular structures of ligands into three groups: (1) homocyclic ligands; (2) heterocyclic ligands; (3) mixed ligands. Homocyclic ligands include (i) benzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid (BDC), (ii) functionalized BDC, (iii) macrocyclic BDC, and (iv) benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid (BTC). Heterocyclic ligands include (i) imidazole-based and (ii) triazole-based analogues. Mixed ligands include different combinations between homocyclic and heterocyclic ligands. Among these intrinsic MOFs, synergistic effects and future perspectives raised by applying macrocyclic MOFs, mixed-metal MOFs, and heterogeneous MOF-on-MOF assembly are highlighted.
期刊介绍:
Coordination Chemistry Reviews offers rapid publication of review articles on current and significant topics in coordination chemistry, encompassing organometallic, supramolecular, theoretical, and bioinorganic chemistry. It also covers catalysis, materials chemistry, and metal-organic frameworks from a coordination chemistry perspective. Reviews summarize recent developments or discuss specific techniques, welcoming contributions from both established and emerging researchers.
The journal releases special issues on timely subjects, including those featuring contributions from specific regions or conferences. Occasional full-length book articles are also featured. Additionally, special volumes cover annual reviews of main group chemistry, transition metal group chemistry, and organometallic chemistry. These comprehensive reviews are vital resources for those engaged in coordination chemistry, further establishing Coordination Chemistry Reviews as a hub for insightful surveys in inorganic and physical inorganic chemistry.
