Sonochemical synthesis of zinc adipate Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) for the electrochemical reduction of CO2: MOF and circular economy potential

Recent insights on the use of modified Zn-based catalysts in eCO2RR

“…16j). To achieve environmentally friendly synthetic methods, Vaitsis et al 232 designed and prepared Zn-MOF using sonochemical methods, which shortened the reaction time and reduced the size of the nanoparticles. When compared with the Zn-MOF synthesized via a solvothermal method, at lower potentials (−1.5 V to −1.7 V vs. Ag/AgCl) the ultrasound sample achieved a better FE CO .…”

Synthesis of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 using an electric field in a gelled medium

“…9 Nowadays, they have been applied also in electronics as semiconductors. 10 Several synthesis methods have been developed for the generation of MOFs, including electrochemical synthesis, 11 solvothermal, 12 sonochemical, 13 ionothermal, 14 flow-driven, 15 mechanochemical, 16 microwave-, 17 and diffusion-assisted. 18 Several works have already been published on the diffusionassisted production of MOFs in solid gels.…”

Upcycling rust and plastic waste into an Fe MOF for effective energy storage applications: transformation of trash to treasure

“…19 Therefore, the synthesis of MOFs, where the metal and linker are both derived from waste materials, is significant from a sustainability point of view. 20 Supercapacitors are a next-generation energy storage device that can store and deliver electrical energy more effectively than traditional batteries. [21][22][23] Therefore, developing sustainable supercapacitors is important to reduce harmful environmental effects.…”
