Integration of cobalt phosphides (Co2P and CoP) in a carbon matrix shows great promise for developing high-performance catalysts for water electrolysis. Nevertheless, the controlled synthesis of these two phases with an effective interface, uniform dispersion, and a simplified synthesis process is still challenging. Herein, we proposed a strategy that involves pre-construction of the Co/CoO@C heterostructure followed by post-conversion by phosphorization to achieve the precise synthesis of the Co2P/CoP@C heterostructure, which was realized by utilizing a MOF as the self-sacrificial template. The oxygen-coordinated MOF that shows advantages in building the Co/CoO heterostructure was employed in this work and grown into a high-quality membrane via cathodic electrodeposition on the graphite substrate (Gss). The obtained catalyst (Gss-Co2P/CoP@C-800) requires 146 and 365 mV overpotentials to achieve a current density of 100 mA cm−2 for the HER and OER, respectively, and 1.54 V to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm−2 for water electrolysis. Beyond the significantly enhanced conductivity that originates from the robust interaction between the MOF and Gss, the establishment of an effective Co2P/CoP interface also plays a pivotal role in contributing to the high performance of Gss-Co2P/CoP@C-800. As revealed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the unique d-orbital electron distribution of Co2P/CoP and the enhanced state density near the Fermi level facilitate its efficient electron transport and render the Co2P/CoP heterostructure region a crucial active site for water electrolysis. This study will provide new insights into the rational design and construction of heterostructures based on MOFs for efficient and green energy conversions.

3D (Three-dimensional) hollow porous structured materials received a lot of attention due to their significant benefits in photocatalytic reactions. In this study, 3D ZnIn 2 S 4 -In 2 S 3 hollow hierarchical porous nanotubes were synthesized by a one-step MOF (metal–organic framework) templating strategy as efficient catalysts for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution in water. The dynamic process between the internal collapse of In-MIL-68 and the growth of ZnIn 2 S 4 crystals with attached outer edges led to the one-step in situ preparation of hollow ZnIn 2 S 4 -In 2 S 3 heterojunction catalysts. Crucially, In-MIL-68 simultaneously induced the formation of In 2 S 3 hollow porous nanotubes and the construction of ZnIn 2 S 4 -In 2 S 3 hierarchical heterojunction with ultrathin nanosheets. The optimal photocatalytic efficiency was obtained by adjusting the relative composition of the two-component heterojunction, and the optimized ZnIn 2 S 4 -In 2 S 3 -10 showed hydrogen evolution efficiency of 5.01 mmol·h −1 ·g −1 under visible light irradiation in the absence of co-catalysts and a high AQY (the apparent quantum yield) of 16.23 % at 420 nm, which was noticeably higher than the photocatalytic efficiency of the one-component and two-step synthesized In 2 S 3 -ZnIn 2 S 4 . Both theoretical and experimental results demonstrated that the construction of heterojunction and the forming of hollow porous nanotubes enhanced visible light absorption and promoted the separation and transfer of photogenerated carriers, thereby increasing the photocatalytic activity of the prepared materials. Meanwhile, ZnIn 2 S 4 -In 2 S 3 hierarchical hollow nanotubes exhibited good stability and reusability, offering a new way to fabricate MOF-based hollow hierarchical photocatalysts.

With the development of the economy, energy shortages and the greenhouse effect gradually become problems facing humanity. Hydrogen energy is clean energy and is expected to become the most vital low-carbon energy in the future. At present, industrial hydrogen production mainly uses precious metals such as Pt. Therefore, it is of great significance to design a low-cost hydrogen evolution catalyst comparable in terms of hydrogen production performance and stability. In this work, porous Co3O4 with a hollow structure was prepared using the MOF template method, and VS2 nanosheets were uniformly attached and grown hydrothermally on it, thereby constructing a unique morphology of TS-Co3O4@VS2. The test results show that the catalyst can achieve a hydrogen evolution overpotential as low as 175.29 mV and a low Tafel slope (57.0 mV dec−1) and can work stably for 500 cycles at a current density of 100 mA cm−2 without noticeable performance degradation. Compared with other similar materials, this material significantly improves the kinetic process of the HER, reduces the reaction energy barrier for hydrogen evolution, and improves the operational stability of the catalyst. We believe that this material can provide a reference for the design of transition metal disulfide catalysts.

The enhancement of electrochemical performance in supercapacitors is significantly dependent on the development of electrode materials characterized by optimized morphology and size. Fe 2 O 3 is a promising material among various candidates, but its practical applications are hindered by internet challenges such as poor conductivity. In this study, Fe-MOF was employed as a precursor template for synthesizing Fe 2 O 3 , and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) was introduced to regulate crystal growth. This approach led to the successful synthesis of Fe 2 O 3 particles with three distinct morphologies. The MFO-2 material, characterized by a large surface area, exhibited an impressive specific capacitance of 96.8 mAh g -1 at a current density of 1 A g -1 . To further explore its practical application, an asymmetric supercapacitor was assembled with MFO-2 as the negative electrode and super-activated carbon (AC) as the positive electrode. The resulting AC//MFO-2 supercapacitor demonstrated a maximum energy density of 20.12 Wh kg -1 at a power density of 140 W kg -1 . It retained 90.5% of its capacity after 10000 charge-discharge cycles at 2 A g -1 , confirming its excellent cycling stability. Additionally, the two devices were connected in parallel and successfully powered an LED light, providing strong evidence for the practical applicability of the proposed system.

A morphologically adjustable metal-organic framework (MOF) template and a unique hierarchical structure show improved electrochemical performance of electrode materials for supercapacitors . Herein, Zn/Co-MOF-derived zinc-cobalt oxide/nickel cobalt layered double hydroxides (Zn-Co-O/NiCo-LDH) hierarchical core/shell nanostructures on nickel foam (NF) were synthesized by simple methods and exhibited high specific capacitance. The results showed that both the reasonable morphology of the MOF-templated continuous nanosheet network and synergy between transition bimetallic oxides and transition bimetallic hydroxide played an important role in improving the electrochemical properties . Hence, the as-prepared Zn-Co-O/NiCo-LDH battery-type electrode exhibited excellent specific capacitance of 2275.2 F/g at 1 A/g and remarkable cycling stability of 82.4% capacitance retention after 5000 cycles. Moreover, the as-prepared Zn-Co-O/NiCo-LDH was used as the positive electrode to assemble a hybrid supercapacitor (HSC) device, which attained a distinguished energy density of 44.5 W h/kg at a power density of 800 W/kg and satisfactory stability (71.5% retention after 5000 cycles). It was concluded that MOF-templated core/shell heterostructures in electrode materials have broad prospects and great potential for energy storage.

The intrinsic properties of metal-based adsorbents originate from multiples factors such as surface functional groups, electronic and dimensional structures. However, the synthetic strategies are limited to top-down methods, which inhibited the improvement of adsorbent performance. Herein, Fe-Ce bimetal oxide composites are prepared by a bottom-up modified MOF template method. MOF template-directed nano rod-like morphology can expose more active sites and facilitate phosphate access to active sites. The introduction of citric acid effectively increased the amount of surface –OH groups and greatly improved the phosphate adsorption capacity. Furthermore, the Fe dopant enables the high Ce(III) fraction and generate magnetic property for Fe-Ce bimetal oxide composites, which are capable of enhancing the intrinsic phosphate adsorption performance. The results show that the optimized Fe-Ce bimetal adsorbent showed remarkably high phosphate adsorption capacity, achieving a maximum phosphate adsorption capacity of 357 mg g −1 by Langmuir model. High adsorption capacity and high magnetic separation efficiency characteristics make this adsorbent a promising material for phosphate treatment. The above results further prove the effectiveness of the bottom-up strategy in the design process of environmental functional materials.

Delicate design and bottom-up synthesis of hollow nanostructures for oxygen evolution electrocatalysts is a promising way to accelerate the reaction kinetics of overall water splitting. Herein, an efficient and versatile strategy for the controllable preparation of Pd–Cu alloy nanoparticles encapsulated in carbon nanopillar arrays (PD–Cu@HPCN) is developed. Core–shell structured MOF@imidazolium-based ionic polymers (ImIPs) have been prepared and adopted as a template, along with the decomposition of the inner Cu–MOFs when an anion exchange occurs between sodium tetrachloropalladate in solution and bromides in the external ImIP shell. Pd nanoparticles will be highly dispersed in the resulting Pd–Cu@HO-ImIP array, and subsequent topotactic transformation generates Pd–Cu@HNPC. No hazardous reagents or tedious steps are used to remove the inner Cu–MOF templates in contrast to the traditional top-down methods. Remarkably, the Pd–Cu@HPCN catalyst possesses outstanding oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity, including small overpotential with 10 mA cm–2 at an overpotential of 188 mV, a large double layer capacitance (73.8 mF cm–2), and high stability (20 h). This simple, green, and efficient synthesis methodology represents a new way to design metal alloys for OER electrocatalysts or other electrocatalytic devices.

The electrochemical test results showed that the discharge specific capacity of Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 2 F 3 /Co/N-PC composite was 126.66 mAh/g at 0.1C, an increase of 15.6 % compared with Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 2 F 3 /N-PC(109.56 mAh/g). The capacity retention rate was 91.84 % after 100 cycles and the R SEI of the Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 2 F 3 /Co/N-PC composite (48.62 Ω) outperforms that of the Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 2 F 3 /N-PC composite (81.55 Ω).

The continuous release of harmful gases and increased industrial activities has made environmental monitoring essential for evaluating their impact on human health and ecosystem. In this study, a spherical nanostructure of Nickel (Ni) doped CeO 2 was derived from hydrothermally synthesized cerium-based metal-organic framework (Ce-MOF) via MOF encapsulation-calcination method for ultrasensitive detection of H 2 S at ppb level. The physical characterizations and microstructure of the Ni-CeO 2 composite revealed porous surface with a hollow spherical framework structure. The H 2 S gas-sensing performance of CeO 2 increased with Ni doping and exhibited remarkable sensitivity up to 100 ppb at low operational temperature. Notably, Ni-CeO 2 -6 composite shows an improved response of 108 (R a /R g ) at an operational temperature of 100°C. Furthermore, NC-6 displays good linearity (R 2 =0.998) towards H 2 S concentration with a low detection limit (8.68 ppb). The composite nanostructure shows good humid tolerance with minimum response deviation (6 %), on increasing the relative humidity (RH) from 15 % to 60 % at room temperature. In addition to this, the composite nanostructure shows excellent selectivity towards H 2 S, combined with good repeatability, and sustained stability. The enhanced response of Ni-doped CeO 2 can be correlated with increased surface area, porous morphology, and reactive oxygen sites on the surface. The study reveals the synergistic interplay of MOF-derived framework and Ni doping for increasing oxygen vacancies and enhancing the surface reactivity for improved gas-sensing performance.
