“…Studies have found that about one-fifth of deaths are caused by air pollution from fossil fuels . The main harmful compounds in fossil energy are sulfur-containing compounds and nitrogen-containing compounds. − The nitrogen compounds in fuel have a serious inhibitory effect on the consequent hydrodesulfurization process. , Thus, the industry needs an efficient, energy-saving, and environmentally friendly denitrogenation technology.…”

A simple but efficient strategy to improve the ability of adsorptive denitrogenation (ADN) of MIL-101(M101) was studied by the in situ encapsulation of phosphomolybdic acid (PMA) and the subsequent purification of the as-synthesized product by the NH4F solution. After the NH4F treatment, the vast majority of PMA was removed, loss of organic ligand (BDC) was observed, and the fluorination of the hydroxyl group in the M101 structure occurred. The ADN activities of the Cr-MOF matrix composites before and after fluorination were studied in detail. The rest of PMA interacts strongly with M101 and assists the ADN activity. Coordination unsaturated metal sites (CUS) in M101 are formed after fluorination and also contribute to ADN activity. Further, fluoride anions replace most of the hydroxide groups in M101, which can promote the ADN of quinoline (QUI) and indole (IND) through an acid–base interaction and N-atom coordination with the CUS in M101. P-M101-F 5% exhibits the highest adsorptive capacity and excellent regeneration ability. Special emphasis in this work is placed on structure modulation (including PMA doping, CUS creation, and fluorination) of M101 for enhancing ADN activity, which provides a useful scaffold for future research in the rational design of MOF-based ADN catalysts.

“…The energy crisis and climate change caused by the current use of fossil energy are huge challenges for humanity. 1,2 Driven by the goal of carbon neutrality, high calorific value hydrogen (H 2 ) as a clean energy source is recognized as a key factor in the long-term decarbonization of the global energy system. [3][4][5] The electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) has been widely studied as an environmentally friendly and efficient method of producing hydrogen (2H + + 2e À -H 2 ).…”

“…Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have sparked widespread public interest in view of their incredibly superior energy density − and exceedingly long cycling stability as a power supply for automobiles and removable electronic products in the past two decades. , However, the commercial graphite anode for LIBs has been with a limited theoretical capacity (372 mA h g –1 ), which can difficultly satisfy the ever-increasing power supply requirements. It is imperative to develop more valid alternative anode materials with a higher capacity. − Thanks to their higher reversible specific capacity, rich sources, and environment-friendliness, transition-metal oxide (TMO)-based materials have received more and more attention .…”

Due to the large reversible capacities, transition-metal oxides have received a lot of interest as anodes for lithium-ion batteries. However, their poor electrical conductivity and dramatic volume change prevent them from being widely used in lithium-ion batteries. In this study, we present a double protection strategy by fabricating a pomegranate-like N-doped carbon-coated CoO x clusters supported on three-dimensional (3D) graphene framework structure (NC@CoO x @GF) to improve the electrochemical performance of CoO x in lithium storage. The hierarchical structure is constructed by the thermal transformation of Co-MOF to CoO x with N-doped carbon/graphene by using polyaniline-coated metal−organic framework (Co-MOF)/graphene oxide as precursors. The pomegranate clusters coupled with porous CoO x induced by the partial thermal collapse of the MOF with N-doped carbon were derived from polyaniline and 3D high-conductivity graphene frameworks. The confinement of the clusters effectively relieves the volume expansion of CoO x and significantly shortens the transport paths of electrons and ions in the composite. The robust 3D graphene frameworks further offer highly interpenetrated conductive networks. Therefore, the flexible NC@CoO x @ GF anode delivered a high capacity (at 0.1 A g −1 , 1153 mA h g −1 ), excellent rate performance (at 8 A g −1 , 337 mA h g −1 ), and superlong cycling stability (66.4% capacity retention after 2500 cycles at 1000 mA g −1 ).
