Electrospun metal–organic framework based nanofibers for energy storage and environmental applications: current approaches and challenges

Abstract

In recent years, a great deal of investigation has been performed based on the study of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) combined with other materials, in order to overcome the tremendous...

Epitaxial transformations of metal–organic frameworks into orientated superparticles

“…[11][12][13][14][15] The designability of MOFs on the molecular scale enables the construction of miscellaneous crystalline phases, thus providing MOFs with innite capacities for applications in catalysis, separation, sensing, and storage. [16][17][18] Moreover, the nature of the coordination bonds of MOFs endows them with crystalline mobility and enables transformations between different phases. 19,20 The most studied MOF transformation is the single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SCSC) transformation, in which the single crystal morphology is intactly preserved aer the transformation.…”

Recent progress in strategies for preparation of metal-organic frameworks and their hybrids with different dimensions

“…Electrospinning has been widely used as a method for preparing nanowire fibers due to the mature synthetic technology and low cost [99,100] . A simple electrostatic spinning device consists of three main components [Figure 4A], a high-voltage power supply, a capillary/syringe with a needle and a grounded collector [101] .…”

Preparation of One-Dimensional Hollow Metal-Organic Frameworks via the Marangoni Effect

“…Two major methods used to fabricate 1D HMOFs are the sacrificial template method and selective phase transformation. The sacrificial template method involves growing MOF nanocrystals on various templates via spray-drying, dip-coating, electrospinning, and then removing the templates to obtain a hollow hierarchical structure. − However, this method yields a fragile 1D hierarchical structure mainly comprising MOF nanocrystals. Meanwhile, selective phase transformation involves inducing a crystal-to-crystal transformation by changing the labile phase into a stable phase. ,− However, this method requires a complex construction process of the labile phase as well as multiple steps.…”
