Recent Progress in 2D Metal‐Organic Framework‐Related Materials

Abstract

Abstract2D metal‐organic frameworks‐based (2D MOF‐related) materials benefit from variable topological structures, plentiful open active sites, and high specific surface areas, demonstrating promising applications in gas storage, adsorption and separation, energy conversion, and other domains. In recent years, researchers have innovatively designed multiple strategies to avoid the adverse effects of conventional methods on the synthesis of high‐quality 2D MOFs. This review focuses on the latest advances in creative synthesis techniques for 2D MOF‐related materials from both the top‐down and bottom‐up perspectives. Subsequently, the strategies are categorized and summarized for synthesizing 2D MOF‐related composites and their derivatives. Finally, the current challenges are highlighted faced by 2D MOF‐related materials and some targeted recommendations are put forward to inspire researchers to investigate more effective synthesis methods.

Air-Calcined Fe/Ni-Based Metal–Organic Framework Nanosheets for Oxygen Evolution Reactions

“…Compared to three-dimensional metal−organic frameworks, two-dimensional metal−organic framework (2D MOF) nanosheets offer distinct advantages, such as a higher density of surface-active sites, a larger specific surface area, shorter diffusion pathways, and a more rapid electron transfer rate. 11,12 Consequently, they are crucial precursors for the cathode catalysts in zinc−air batteries. 13,14 Within the category of 2D MOF nanosheets, the 2D fluorinated metal−organic framework nanosheets comprise a cubic topology that results from a 3D inorganic anionic column composed of metal ions as a support, interconnected with organic ligands.…”

Hierarchical metal-organic frameworks: a new paradigm in nonlinear optics and data processing

“…Recently, a series of experimental studies have demonstrated the possibility of efficient utilizing MOFs for coherent light emission in the laser regime [8][9][10], coherent and incoherent light conversion [11][12][13][14], white light [15] and quantum light emission [16,17], nonlinear optical absorption [18][19][20][21] and encryption [22][23][24], as well as for optical data transferring [25][26][27][28][29] even at ultrafast regime [30,31]. In most of the above cases, MOFs can be considered as competitive or even superior to commercial NLO crystals, combining it with the simplicity of their synthesis and scalability [32][33][34].…”
