Brolly good MOFs: A new series of hydrophobic isoreticular porous Zr oxide dicarboxylate MOFs have been prepared (see picture, blue polyhedra, O red, C black). They a one-dimensional pore system, rare combination Lewis acidity and character, higher hydrothermal mechanical stability than their UiO MOF polymorph counterparts.
The exchange of the monocarboxylate ligand zirconium methacrylate oxocluster Zr(6)O(4)(OH)(4)(OMc)(12) (OMc = CH(2)=CH(CH(3))COO) with dicarboxylic acids (trans,trans muconic acid and terephthalic acid) leads to porous dicarboxylates exhibiting UiO-66 architecture; mild reaction conditions allow control their particle size.
This perspective discusses the general concepts that will guide future catalysis and related grand challenges based on Science Technology Roadmap Catalysis for Europe prepared by European Cluster Catalysis.
Costs and toxicity concerns are at the center of a heated debate regarding implementation perovskite solar cells (PSCs) into commercial products. The first bottleneck could be overcome by eliminating top metal electrode (generally gold) underlying hole transporting material substituting both with one single thick layer conductive carbon, as in so-called carbon-based PSCs (C-PSCs). second issue, related to presence lead, can tackled resorting other structures based on less toxic metallic...
Nanoporosity is clearly beneficial for the performance of heterogeneous catalysts. Although exsolution a modern method to design innovative catalysts, thus far it predominantly studied sintered matrices. A quantitative description Ni nanoparticles from nanoporous perovskite oxides and their effective application in biogas dry reforming here presented. The process between 500 900 °C La
Abstract Upon reaction of zirconium alkoxides, Zr(OR) 4 , with carboxylic acids, the clusters Zr 6 O (OH) (OOCR) 12 ( Zr6 ) or [Zr ] 2 Zr12 were obtained, depending on employed acid. The structures acetate, propionate, vinyl acetate 3,3′‐dimethylacrylate ligands determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, as well that methacrylate/acetate and methacrylate/propionate mixed‐ligand clusters. structure hafnium cluster [Hf (acetate) is also reported for comparison. are structurally related to...
Gut beschirmte MOFs: Eine neue Serie von hydrophoben isoretikulären porösen Zirconiumoxid-Dicarboxylat-MOFs wurde entwickelt (siehe Bild, Zr blaue Polyeder, O rot, C schwarz). Die Materialien zeichnen sich durch ein eindimensionales Porensystem, eine seltene Kombination Lewis-Acidität und hydrophobem Charakter sowie höhere hydrothermische mechanische Stabilität als ihre polymorphen UiO-MOF-Gegenstücke aus.
ZnS nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized using a simple, green, and reproducible hydrothermal method. Transmission electron micrographs show polyhedral NPs having an average diameter of 21 nm; whereas the X-ray diffraction analysis is consistent with exclusive presence cubic ZnS; however no oxide could be detected. A comprehensive characterization NPs' surface was accomplished through photoelectron spectroscopy, diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFT), Raman,...
We present a versatile method for the preparation of mesoporous tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) thin films via dip-coating. Two poly(isobutylene)-b-poly(ethyleneoxide) (PIB-PEO) copolymers significantly different molecular weight (denoted as PIB-PEO 3000 and 20000) are used templates compared with non-templated to clarify effect template size on crystallization and, thus, electrochemical properties ITO films. Transparent, mesoporous, conductive coatings obtained after annealing at 500 °C; these...

Abstract The need to develop sustainable energy solutions is an urgent requirement for society, with the additional limit dependence on critical raw materials, within a virtuous circular economy model. In this framework, it essential identify new avenues light‐conversion into clean and fuels exploiting largely available materials green production methods. Metal oxide semiconductors (MOSs) emerge among other species their remarkable environmental stability, chemical tunability, optoelectronic...
Abstract A new isomer of the oxozirconium cluster Zr 4 O 2 (methacrylate) 12 was obtained by reaction zirconium butoxide with an excess methacrylic acid. Contrary to known isomer, structure is centrosymmetric a planar, rhombic core. Copolymerization 56–207‐fold methylmethacrylate results in cluster‐crosslinked poly(methylmethacrylate) that swells ethyl acetate but does not dissolve. The solvent uptake during swelling decreases and thermal stability improves increasing portion cluster....
