Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have been reported to catalyze the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Despite established links between pristine MOFs and their derived metal hydroxide electrocatalysts, several limitations still preclude understanding of critical factors determining OER performance. Of prime importance appears choice MOF how its compositions relate catalyst stability in turn reconstruction or metamorphosis mechanisms into active species under conditions. An isoreticular series...
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are periodic organic–inorganic materials that have garnered considerable attention for electrocatalytic applications due to their wide tunability. Metal-hydroxide organic (MHOFs), a subset of MOFs combine layered metal hydroxides with ligands various π–π stacking energy, shown promising catalytic functions, such as the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The long-term electrochemical stability these OER is unfortunately not well understood, which critical design...
Molecular catalysts immobilized on a carbon support have demonstrated electrocatalytic CO2 conversion capabilities distinct from those of metallic surfaces. For instance, cobalt phthalocyanine supported nanotubes (CoPc/CNT) is capable selective CO2-to-methanol with ∼30% selectivity, which cannot be accomplished by other metal catalysts, such as cobalt, silver, and copper. However, despite its promising methanol the CoPc/CNT catalyst exhibits gradual decrease in production rate during...
Recently, there has been growing interest in the conversion of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) into metal-hydroxide catalysts for alkaline oxygen evolution reactions (OERs). While studies have shown that initial OER performance MOF-derived intermediates surpasses traditional catalysts, ongoing debates persist regarding these catalysts' durability and electrochemical stability. Moreover, inevitable reorganization (aging) from disordered to ordered phases, particularly those primarily composed...
