Semiconductive Nature of Lead-Based Metal–Organic Frameworks with Three-Dimensionally Extended Sulfur Secondary Building Units

Photocatalysis is considered to be a green and environment‐friendly technology since it can convert solar energy into other types of chemical energies. Over the past several years, metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs)‐based photocatalysts have received remarkable research interest due to their unique morphology, high photocatalytic performance, good chemical stability, easy synthesis, and low cost. In this review, the synthetic strategies of developing MOFs‐based photocatalysts are first introduced. Second, the recent progress in the fabrication of various types of MOFs composites photocatalysts is summarized. Third, the different applications including hydrogen evolution reaction, oxygen evolution reaction, overall water splitting, nitrogen reduction reaction, carbon dioxide reduction reaction as well as photodegradation of organic pollutants of MOFs‐based photocatalysts are summed up. Finally, the challenges and some suggestions for the future development of MOFs‐ and their composites‐based photocatalysts are also highlighted. It is expected that this report will help researchers to systematically devise and develop highly efficient photocatalysts based on MOFs and their composites.

“…Owing to the electrodeless measurement of the local motions of charge carriers, laser-flash TRMC has been extensively used in liquid crystalline materials [55,[70][71][72], self-assembled nanostructures [50,60,[73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80], microcrystals [52,56,[81][82][83][84], and liquids/gels [85][86][87][88], which are often associated with difficulties in preparing high-quality films suitable for device characterization, such as a fieldeffect transistor (FET). Although one can prepare a smooth film of a conjugated polymer, the φ value of its pristine film is very small (10 −5 -10 −3 ) and unable to be determined solely by TRMC measurements.…”

Light is a form of energy that can be converted to electric and chemical energies. Thus, organic photovoltaics (OPVs), perovskite solar cells (PSCs), photocatalysts, and photodetectors have evolved as scientific and commercial enterprises. However, the complex photochemical reactions and multicomponent materials involved in these systems have hampered rapid progress in their fundamental understanding and material design. This review showcases the evaluation-oriented exploration of photo energy conversion materials by using electrodeless time-resolved microwave conductivity (TRMC) and materials informatics (MI). TRMC with its unique options (excitation sources, environmental control, frequency modulation, etc.) provides not only accelerated experimental screening of OPV and PSC materials but also a versatile route toward shedding light on their charge carrier dynamics. Furthermore, MI powered by machine learning is shown to allow extremely high-throughput exploration in the large molecular space, which is compatible with experimental screening and combinatorial synthesis.

“…30 Incidentally, with careful metal/linker selection, even single crystals of functional semiconductive metal-thiolate networks can be accessed, facilitating structure-property relation studies in these well-defined samples. 31,32 For future work, one can couple the intriguing metaldithiolene motif 33,34 to the bifunctional, two step synthesis, i.e., in the form of carboxyl-dithiolene combination. Of particular interest would be a carboxylic linker equipped with two or more dithiolene units, because these would then take up metal guests to afford dithiolene-metal networks intersecting with, e.g., the Zr(IV)-carboxyl host net.…”

After his BS (1996) at Peking University, Xu had a plan for organic chemistry, only to join Stephen Lee's group at Michigan and receive a PhD from Cornell for works on coordination networks (MOFs). After a postdoc with David Mitzi (IBM, 200103), he moved to George Washington University as an assistant professor to open his work on sulfur-equipped MOFs.As life would have it, he then started anew in Hong Kong (from 2005), and became a professor in 2015. His group has an interest in bridging the two worlds of coordination and covalent frameworks.
