A blade-like CoZn metal organic framework-based flexible quasi-solid Zn-ion battery

Abstract

Wearable flexible electronics become more and more significant and popular in daily life. Here, a flexible quasi-solid Zn-ion battery consisting of CoZn-metal organic frameworks (MOFs) growing on carbon cloth as...

Recent advances in continuous flow synthesis of metal–organic frameworks and their composites

“…[16][17][18][19][20] These composites leverage the unique features of both MOFs and the host materials, resulting in enhanced mechanical strength, improved stability, enhanced conductivity, or additional functionalities compared to pure MOFs. [16][17][18][19][20] For instance, pristine MOFs have hardly been applied as direct catalysts for electrolytic water splitting applications due to their low conducting nature, lower stability under alkaline conditions and less mass permeability characteristics; however, the direct growth of MOFs on nickel foam (NF) to form MOF/ NF composite materials showed outstanding electrocatalytic performances because of the positive synergistic effect between the conductive NF substrate and the MOFs. [21][22][23][24] Predictably, the advantages and wide-ranging applications of MOFs and their composites have prompted their industrialscale production.…”

Nanostructured Conductive Metal–Organic Frameworks: Synthesis and Applications

“…Moreover, the structural advantages of MOFs such as abundant organic groups, atomically dispersed active centers, and regular crystalline structure are inevitably sacrificed. Hybridization with conductive additives (e.g., ionic liquid, [20,21] conductive polymer [22,23] ) and/or substrates (e.g., nickel foam, [24,25] carbon paper/cloth [26,27] ) can also improve the conductivity of pristine MOFs. However, the introduction of foreign materials may decrease the content of active materials and the overall performance.Recent advances in MOFs have given rise to a novel family of conductive MOFs (c-MOFs) with high in-plane conjugation and weak out-of-plane van der Waals interactions.…”
