Metal-support interaction (MSI) is regarded as an indispensable manner to stabilize active metals and modulate catalytic activity, which shows great potentials in developing of efficient hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrode with high activity and strong robustness. Herein, this work presents a novel heterostructure with ultrafine platinum quantum dots (Pt QDs) on defective catalytic supports derived from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). It is indicated substantial oxygen vacancies can be generated and Pt–Pt bonds can be optimized through topological transformation. The resulting Pt/T-NiFe-BDC (BDC: C 8 H 6 O 4 ) exhibits competitive HER activity in alkaline seawater, attaining ultralow overpotentials of 158 and 266 mV at 500 and 1000 mA cm –2 with fast kinetics and outstanding stability. An asymmetric water electrolyzer using Pt/T-NiFe-BDC as a cathode only requires a voltage of 1.89 V to generate an industrial density of 1000 mA cm –2 and shows no attenuation in 500-h continuous test at 500 mA cm –2 . Theoretical calculations and in-situ spectroscopic analysis reveal the reversible hydrogen spillover mechanism, in which oxygen vacancies facilitate the sluggish water dissociation and Pt QDs promote the H* combination. This study provides a new paradigm to engineer metal-supported catalysts for efficient and robust seawater splitting.

The development of bifunctional electrocatalysts to reduce the polarization loss is essential to enhance the performance of Zn-air batteries. The combination of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with metal or metallic compounds provides a way to integrate their merits and effectively improve their electrocatalytic performances. However, previous synthesis of MOFs/metal oxides usually involves high-temperature calcination , which makes it difficult to control their morphologies. In this work, through a ligand-insufficient and high temperature controlled solvothermal reaction, innovative NiFe-MOF/NiFe 2 O 4 hollow nanospheres were one-pot prepared without using any shape-controlled agent or calcination process. The as-obtained NiFe-MOF/NiFe 2 O 4 shows better ORR and OER performance than pure NiFe-MOF and NiFe 2 O 4 , suggesting a synergetic effect between NiFe-MOF and NiFe 2 O 4 . The maximum power density of the liquid Zn-air battery assembled using NiFe-MOF/NiFe 2 O 4 as the air electrode catalyst is 158.4 mW cm −2 at 246.1 mA cm −2 . This work offers fresh thoughts into designing highly efficient MOF-derived electrocatalysts.

Constructing the high-performance photoanode is critical to improve photoelectrochemical (PEC) efficiency, but it is still an inevitable challenge to rationally fabricate the organic-inorganic hybrid-photoanode system. For the first time, we report a novel hybrid-photoanode built from ultrathin NiFe-MOF and TiO 2 by a sacrifice template method. The in-situ etch of NiFe-layered double hydroxide (LDH) on the surface of TiO 2 has been successfully realized in the coordination environment, for creating coordinately unsaturated metal sites on NiFe-MOF. The coordinately unsaturated metal sites could significantly promote the water oxidation kinetic , compared with conventional electrode/electrolyte interface. The photocurrent density of the NiFe-MOF/TiO 2 has reached about 3.35 times of bare TiO 2 at 1.23 V (vs. RHE), and the incident photon to current conversion efficiency (IPCE) value has been improved up to 42% (at 390 nm). The significant augment of the charge injection ( η injection ) of 92.8% and charge separation ( η separation ) efficiency of 37.4% has also been exhibited. Moreover, NiFe-MOF/TiO 2 shows a long-term stability ( < 10% decay) after 4 h of continuous illumination. This work provided a novel and rational strategy about the integration of the inorganic semiconductor and organic MOF , which can provide a new insight into understanding MOF-based catalysts for PEC water splitting.

The investigation of highly efficient metal–organic framework (MOF) electrocatalysts represents a pivotal challenge in enhancing the overall efficiency of water electrolysis. In this study, we present a co-liganding method based on molecular regulation, in which succinic (s.a), adipic (a.a), and decanedioic (d.a) acids are employed to modify the original ligand H 2 BDC-based bimetallic NiFe-MOF to obtain dual-ligand NiFe-MOF electrocatalysts with excellent OER and HER performance (NiFe-MOF s.a, NiFe-MOF a.a, and NiFe-MOF d.a). Notably, NiFe-MOF d.a performs the best, particularly in 1 M KOH solution, with an OER overpotential of 242 mV and an HER overpotential of 116 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm −2 , and it demonstrates excellent stability under alkaline conditions, outperforming several recently reported Fe/Co/Ni-based catalysts. Bader charge and Mulliken charge calculations alongside experimental characterization data indicate that long-chain dicarboxylate ligands can influence the morphology, oxygen vacancy formation, and electronic structure of NiFe-MOFs. XPS and XRD analyses after the OER reveal that the four NiFe-MOFs undergo structural reorganization, with NiFe-MOF d.a having more unsaturated metal sites and more oxygen vacancies, promoting greater conversion of the MOF to NiOOH and FeOOH, which is beneficial for improving the OER performance. The density of states (DOS) results from DFT calculations demonstrate that the d-band center of NiFe-MOF d.a is relatively low, indicating that the adsorption energy of H* is reduced, which can promote the release of H 2 . Furthermore, the hydrogen adsorption free energy (ΔG H* ) values of the Fe and Ni active sites within NiFe-MOF d.a are closer to zero, thus accelerating the HER kinetics. This work paves new pathways for realizing dual-ligand MOFs.

The escalating presence of antibiotics and antibiotic-resistant bacteria in wastewater poses a pressing threat to both human health and ecosystems. Addressing this challenge requires innovative approaches while photocatalytic membranes emerge as promising solutions because they offer multiple functions to separate and degrade/sterilize antibiotics and antibiotic-resistant bacteria simultaneously. In this study, we for the first time developed in-situ grown Ni-Fe metal-organic framework/carbon quantum dot (NiFe-MOF/CQD) membranes with NiFe-MOF seeds pre-integrated into the substrates. The incorporation of CQDs not only enhances the hydrophilicity and integrity of NiFe-MOF membranes that results in both a high water flux of 119.7 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 and a high antibiotic rejection of 98.1% to rifampicin, but also promotes the photo-Fenton activity by enhancing the visible light absorption and photoelectrons (e − )-holes (h + ) separation. Therefore, the degradation efficiency of rifampicin in a photo-Fenton system within 100 min by NiFe-MOF/CQD composites (84.9%) surpasses that of NiFe-MOFs (63.1%). Additionally, NiFe-MOF/CQDs can effectively inactivate both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria in the photo-Fenton system. The supreme separation performance of NiFe-MOF/CQD membranes and photo-Fenton activity of NiFe-MOF/CQDs underscore the significant potentials of the newly invented photocatalytic membranes in treating wastewater containing antibiotic and antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

In this work, we prepared a novel electrode material NiFe-MOF@NiFeTe nanoparticle-rod heterostructures with high capacity and structural stability on nickel foam using a simple two-step hydrothermal method. The prepared NiFe-MOF@NiFeTe heterostructure combines the advantages of MOF and metal telluride with a large specific surface area, high electrical conductivity, and fast redox reaction. Meanwhile, NiFe-MOF@NiFeTe is uniformly distributed on the nickel foam substrate, which avoids agglomeration and facilitates electrolyte transport. The prepared electrode materials have excellent electrochemical properties. At 5 A/g, the specific capacitance of NiFe-MOF@NiFeTe can reach 1245.2 F/g, and the capacitance retention rate can reach 92.3 % after 1000 cycles. Furthermore, the assembled NiFe-MOF@NiFeTe//AC hybrid supercapacitor has an operating voltage of 1.7 V, an energy density of 267.1 Wh kg −1 at a power density of 1699.9 W kg −1 , and a capacitance retention rate of 82.9 % after 5000 cycles at a high current density of 10 A/g. This study provides a feasible strategy for the development of efficient and stable hybrid supercapacitor electrode materials.

Ni-MOF shows high specific capacitance and rate capability performance as supercapacitor cathode, but it still exhibits poor intrinsic conductivity and cycle stability. Herein, we explore a bind free structural stabilized NiFe-MOF on nickel foam via one-pot solvothermal method for high performance supercapacitor . Various characterization results reveal that the prepared NiFe-MOF is composed of defective ultrathin nanosheets . The incorporation of Fe ions nodes can not only enhance the Ni-MOF cycle stability, but also increase the specific capacitance attributed to the formation of defects. The optimized NiFe-MOF exhibits an ultra-high specific area capacitance (15.6 F cm −2 at 2 mA cm −2 ) with excellent cycle stability (86.3 % cycle retention rate in 5000 cycles at 50 mA cm −2 ) in 1 mol L −1 KOH. The asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) device constructed by NiFe-MOF/NF cathode and activated carbon (AC) anode achieves a high energy density of 0.75 mWh cm −2 and a power density of 8.0 mW cm −2 . Our work provides an important strategy for the designing of high-performance energy storage material .

The design of nanostructured electrode materials and the tuning of their components is one of the effective ways to improve the electrochemical properties of the materials. Here, we employed a cost-effective hydrothermal synthesis method to successfully construct NiFeSe@NiFe-MOF electrode materials with nanocoral rod-like structures. The unique coral rod-like structure provides a larger specific surface area for electron storage, exposing more electrochemical reaction active sites on the electrode surface. Through DFT theoretical calculations we found that the metallic property of NiFeSe@NiFe-MOF-2 are greatly enhanced compared with NiFe-MOF, which can lead to higher conductivity and electron transfer efficiency of the selenized material. Moreover, the introduction of selenium enhances the adsorption capacity of the material for anions in alkaline solution, which makes the structure of the MOFs more stable and obtains better electrochemical reversibility making the electrochemical performance of the electrode material in all aspects. Compared with the NiFe-MOF material, NiFeSe@NiFe-MOF-2 has excellent capacitance retention up to 81.0 % at different current densities (1 A/g-10 A/g), and the stability of the cycle performance is greatly improved up to 84.0 %. The assembled device NiFeSe@NiFe-MOF-2 // AC has excellent multiplication performance up to 92.7 % and stable electrochemical cyclability up to 99.7 %. Moreover, the energy density is 61.0 Wh kg −1 at a power density of 5060.0 W kg −1 . The coral rod-like NiFeSe@NiFe-MOF composites synthesized in this experiment possessed excellent charge storage capacity and stability properties. These results indicate that the electrode materials developed in this paper have good application prospects in supercapacitors.

Metal organic framework (MOF) is considered as an excellent electrode material for supercapacitors due to its low cost and homogeneous nanostructure, but the drawbacks of single MOF , such as low specific capacity and stability, limit its development, so the design of bimetallic MOF structural composites is a challenging but favourable strategy for the development of supercapacitors. In this paper, NiFe-MOF/PBAs heterostructure, a bimetallic MOF material with a granular rod-like structure, is successfully prepared by using bimetallic MOF as a precursor and introducing [Co(CN) 6 ] 3− ions to further convert it into PBAs (Prussian blue analogs). Due to the special macroporous structure of PBAs, the composite combines the advantages of the two MOF materials, and the specific capacity is as high as 4270.19 C g −1 at 1 A g −1 . The composite still has excellent electrochemical properties when assembled into devices. The specific capacity is 1996.01 C g −1 at 1 A g −1 , the energy density reached 749.99 W h kg −1 at a power density of 415.85 W kg −1 , and the decay rate is only 1.14 % after 20,000 cycles at 10 A g −1 . These results indicate that the designed dual MOFs composite electrodes have good application prospects in the field of electrochemical energy storage.

It’s still a challenge to design reasonably efficient catalyst based on non-noble metal for water decomposition. Herein, we prepared a self-supported S-NiFe/NFF catalyst by sulfurated NiFe-based metal–organic framework on the NiFe foam (NFF) through a simple solvothermal method. Benefiting from the direct contact with the conductive NiFe foam matrix, the electronic environment of the active site regulated by heteroatomic oxygen and sulfur, and the positive synergistic effect between nickel and iron, the catalyst S-NiFe/NFF shows outstanding electrocatalytic activity for oxygen evolution (OER) and hydrogen evolution (HER) reactions with a low overpotential of 174 mV and 150 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm −2 in alkaline electrolyte, respectively; and the S-NiFe/NFF‖S-NiFe/NFF cell only needs 1.50 V battery voltage to reach the current density of 10 mA cm −2 . This work reports a highly efficient water decomposition catalyst, which indicates that non-noble metal-based electrocatalysts have great potential applications in the water electrolysis field, and provides a basis for rational design and synthesis of MOF-derived catalysts with unique structures.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have gained tremendous notice for the application in alkaline water/seawater oxidation due to their tunable structures and abundant accessible metal sites. However, exploring cost-effective oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts with high catalytic activity and excellent stability remains a great challenge. In this work, a promising strategy is proposed to regulate the crystalline structures and electronic properties of NiFe-metal-organic frameworks (NiFe-MOFs) by altering the organic ligands. As a representative sample, NiFe-BDC (BDC: C 8 H 6 O 4 ) synthesized on nickel foam (NF) shows extraordinary OER activity in alkaline condition, delivering ultralow overpotentials of 204, 234 and 273 mV at 10, 100, and 300 mA cm −2 , respectively, with a small Tafel slope of 21.6 mV dec −1 . Only a slight decrease is observed when operating in alkaline seawater. The potential attenuation is barely identified at 200 mA cm −2 over 200 h continuous test, indicating the remarkable stability and corrosion resistance. In-situ measurements indicate that initial Ni 2+ /Fe 2+ goes through oxidation process into Ni 3+ /Fe 3+ during OER, and eventually presents in the form of NiFeOOH/NiFe-BDC heterojunction. The unique self-reconstructed surface is responsible for the low reaction barrier and fast reaction kinetics. This work provides an effective strategy to develop efficient MOF-based electrocatalysts and an insightful view on the dynamic structural evolution during OER.
