The metal-organic framework ZIF-8, which undergoes hydrolysis under hydrothermal conditions, is endowed with high water-resistance after a shell-ligand-exchange-reaction. The stabilized ZIF-8 retains its structural characteristics with improved application performances in adsorption and membrane separation.
In this review, we discuss the merits of solution-processed metal oxide semiconductors and consider their application in thin-film transistors for large-area electronics.
In this perspective we first critically compare the use of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as supports for catalytic functions with the possibilities offered by other classes of porous materials. We then discuss the incidental or deliberate formation of active sites in MOF lattices, and review some strategies to contr…
The sustainable development of carbon recycling has attracted considerable attention from the viewpoint of the environment and resources. Herein, Ni nanoparticles (NPs) immobilized on a TiO2 support were synthesized via a deposition–precipitation method followed by a calcination–reduction process (denoted as Ni/TiO2-D…
A significant fraction of every proteome is occupied by biologically active proteins that do not form unique three-dimensional structures. These intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) and IDP regions (IDPRs) have essential biological functions and are characterized by extensive structural plasticity. Such structural…
Lithographically defined electrical interconnects with thin, filamentary serpentine layouts have been widely explored for use in stretchable electronics supported by elastomeric substrates. We present a systematic and thorough study of buckling physics in such stretchable serpentine microstructures, and a strategic de…
The present work is a critical review of metal exchange (transmetalation) involving metal nodes and metalated struts in metal–organic frameworks. Particular emphasis is given to drawing parallels between different examples of transmetalation in order to understand the influence of coordination environment, solvents, n…
The electrochemical conversion of furfural to 2-methylfuran (MF) and of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) to 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF) by means of a room-temperature electrocatalytic hydrogenation is presented. This is the first time that the electrochemical conversion of 5-HMF to 2,5-dimethylfuran is demonstrated, and it…
Nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (NCNTs) have been successfully synthesized via the direct solid pyrolysis of Zn–Fe-ZIF and the N content, N doped state, diameter and formation temperature of the NCNTs can be finely tuned by mixing Zn–Fe-ZIF with proper amounts of dicyandiamide (DCDA). DCDA serves as the extra nitrogen…
A facile method to synthesize a MoS(2) nanosheet-graphene nanosheet hybrid has been developed via the combination of a lithiation-assisted exfoliation process and a hydrazine monohydrate vapour reduction technique. The as-obtained nanosheet-nanosheet hybrid is more robust and exhibits much improved cycle life (>700),…
We present here a simple solvothermal method to fabricate metal-organic framework NH2-MIL-53(Al) crystals with controllable size and morphology just by altering the ratio of water in the DMF-water mixed solvent system without the addition of any surfactants or capping agents. With increasing the volume ratio of water…
Composite membranes comprising a continuous polymer phase and a dispersed filler phase have revealed appealing potential in selective transport of molecules and ions. The multiphase characteristics of composite membranes provide more degrees of freedom to manipulate multiple interactions, tailor multiscale structures,…
The photoreduction of CO2 on inorganic semiconductors has been researched for several decades, but the conversion efficiency is still low due to the recombination of photo-generated electron–hole pairs, low utilization efficiency of solar energy and weak adsorption of CO2. Here we for the first time demonstrate that m…
TiO2 nanotube arrays loaded with carbon quantum dots were used as a photoanode for efficient hydrogen generation under visible light.
This paper describes the synthesis of ceria catalysts with octahedron, nanorod, nanocube and spindle-like morphologies via a template-free hydrothermal method. The surface morphologies, crystal plane and physical-chemical structures were investigated via field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmissi…
“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet.” From “Romeo and Juliet”, William Shakespeare (1594) This article opens a series of publications on disambiguation of the basic terms used in the field of intrinsically disordered proteins. We start from the beginning, namely from the…
Understanding charge transport of single molecules or a small collection of molecules sandwiched between electrodes is of fundamental importance for molecular electronics. This requires the fabrication of reliable devices, which depend on several factors including the testbed architectures used, the molecule number an…
With increasing demand for efficient organic transformations based on the concept of Green Sustainable Chemistry, the development of highly selective reaction systems using heterogeneous catalysts is greatly desired. In selective hydrogenation using heterogeneous catalysts, gold nanoparticle catalysts have recently at…
Hybrid nanocomposites of graphene oxide (GO) with ZIF-8 exhibit tunable nanoscale morphology and porosity, both determined by the GO content, coordination modulation being responsible for such properties. These materials also give rise to high CO2 storage capability and can be used as precursors to prepare GO@ZnS nano…
A new luminescent entangled (srs nets with two-fold interpenetration, linked via short Cu⋯Cu distances of ca. 2.8 Å) MOF, namely, [(CuCN)3L·(guest)x]n (L = 2,6-bis((3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)methyl)pyridine; x = 1 or 2), which contains microporous channels, is synthesized. This MOF material shows structural dynamic…
