Bottom‐Up Synthesis of Monodispersed Single‐Crystalline Cyano‐Bridged Coordination Polymer Nanoflakes

Versatile Loading of Diverse Cargo into Functional Polymer Capsules

“…As a first example, 4–5 μm PSS–CaCO 3 particles (Figure S1, Supporting Information) were used to adsorb large MOFs, which are useful for diverse applications such as catalysis, sensing, and separations ( Figure ). These materials were loaded onto the PSS–CaCO 3 particles in the form of cubes (≈2 wt%; i.e., 1 mg of PSS–CaCO 3 loaded 0.02 mg of MOF cubes), wires (≈1 wt%), flakes (≈14 wt%), and cages (<1 wt%) . Note that these values translate roughly to mono­layer deposition.…”

Multifunctional Prussian blue analogous@polyaniline core–shell nanocubes for lithium storage and overall water splitting

“…These properties make MOFs suitable as direct functional materials, efficient templates and/or precursors to develop new functional materials for a wide variety of applications, such as heterogeneous catalysis, gas adsorption, sensing and molecular release. [1][2][3][4][5][6] Very recently, MOF-derived composites have been extensively studied, due to their great potential in energy conversion and storage like water electrolysis and rechargeable metal (Li, Na, K, Ca) ion batteries. [7][8][9][10] Indeed, due to the redox of metal ions providing a pathway for electrons and open framework allowing highly reversible insertion/extraction of ions either in aqueous or organic electrolytes, MOFs also can directly act as outstanding candidates for use in energy conversion and storage systems, such as electrocatalysis, [11][12][13] lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), 14 sodium-ion batteries (NIBs), 15 Li-S batteries, 16 supercapacitors, [17][18][19] and so on.…”

Prussian Blue/Reduced Graphene Oxide Composite for the Amperometric Determination of Dopamine and Hydrogen Peroxide

“…Because of the excellent electrochemical, ion-exchange, electrochromic, photophysical, and magnetic properties, these compounds have a potential applications for oxygen storage, ionic sieves, molecular magnets, batteries (Lu et al 2012), and as sensors and electrocatalysis (Jin et al 2012;Lin et al 2007). At present, the preparation of Prussian blue involves electrodeposition (Du et al 2010) or chemical synthesis (Sheng, Liu, and Zheng 2012;Hu, Ishihara, and Yamauchi 2013). Chemical synthesis is based on the precipitation reaction between an iron salt and a hexacyanoferrate complex (Samain et al 2013).…”
