The Cu-based MOF loaded on macroporous carbon (MPC) creates novel Cu-MOF-MPC hybrids for the first time. The obtained Cu-MOF-MPC composites are used as electrocatalysts for the oxidation of NADH and reduction of H2O2 in neutral solution.

In article number 1700261, the Wu group presents poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) nanotubes (PEDOT NTs) conformally coated with porphyrin-based metal–organic framework nanocrystals (MOF-525), where MOF-525 serve as an electrocatalytic surface and PEDOT NTs act as a charge collector to rapidly transport the electron from MOF nanocrystals. The innovative composites establish a new generation of p...

The use of porous materials to store natural gas in vehicles requires large amounts of methane per unit of volume. Here we report the synthesis, crystal structure and methane adsorption properties of two new aluminum metal-organic frameworks, MOF-519 and MOF-520. Both materials exhibit permanent porosity and high methane volumetric storage capacity: MOF-519 has a volumetric capacity of 200 and ...

Cu-MOF-74 (also known as Cu-CPO-27) was identified as a sorbent having one of the highest densities of Cu(ii) sites per unit volume. Given that Cu(ii) in the framework can be thermally activated to yield a five-coordinate Cu(ii) species, we identified this MOF as a potential candidate for maximal volumetric uptake of ammonia. To that end, the kinetic breakthrough of ammonia in Cu-MOF-74/Cu-CPO-...

Recently, two-dimensional metal–organic frameworks have received increasing interest due to their flexible components with adjustable structures, abundant accessible active sites, and high conductivity. In this paper, the thermal stability electronic structure of 2D transition framework (TM-O MOF, TM = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) single-layer structures are systematically explored using first-principles ca...

By coupling of Fe2O3@SiO2 particles with metal organic Framework (MOF) the magnetic MOF structure was fabricated. Precipitation and hydrothermal methods were applied for synthesis of core and MOF. Silver nanoparticles were deposited on nickel based metal organic framework surface and magnetic Fe2O3@SiO2@MOF@Ag was obtained. Because of strong coupling between silver nanoparticles and metal organ...
