Enhanced Conductivity of Composite Membranes Based on Sulfonated Poly(Ether Ether Ketone) (SPEEK) with Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks (ZIFs)

2018

The zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) ZIF-8, ZIF-67, and a Zn/Co bimetallic mixture (ZMix) were synthesized and used as fillers in the preparation of composite sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) membranes. The presence of the ZIFs in the polymeric matrix enhanced proton transport relative to that observed for SPEEK or ZIFs alone. The real and imaginary parts of the complex conductivity were obtained by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and the temperature and frequency dependence of the real part of the conductivity were analyzed. The results at different temperatures show that the direct current (dc) conductivity was three orders of magnitude higher for composite …

Microwave-Assisted Synthesis of Covalent OrganicFrameworks: A Review

2020

[EN] Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are relatively recent materials. They have received great attention due to their interesting properties. However, the application of microwaves in their synthesis, despite its advantages such as faster and more reproducible processes, is a minority. Herein, a comprehensive compilation of the research results published in the microwave-assisted synthesis (MAS) of COFs is presented. This review includes articles of 2D and 3D COFs prepared using microwaves as source of energy. The articles have been classified depending on the functional groups including boronate ester, imines, enamines, azines, and triazines, among others. It compiles the main parameter…

Polyoxometalate-based metal-organic frameworks for boosting electrochemical capacitor performance

2019

Abstract Polyoxometalate-based metal-organic frameworks (POMOFs) possess promising applications as capacitors. Herein, we report the syntheses, structures and electrochemical properties of five copper-containing POMOFs: [CuI4H2(btx)5(PW12O40)2]·2H2O (1), [CuIICuI3(H2O)2(btx)5(PWVI10WV2O40)]·2H2O (2), [CuI6(btx)6(PWVI9WV3O40)]·2H2O (3), [CuI4H2(btx)5(PMo12O40)2]·2H2O (4) and [CuIICuI3(btx)5(SiMoVI11MoVO40)]·4H2O (5) (btx = 1,4-bis(triazol-1-ylmethyl) benzene) with potential applications as capacitors. Compounds 1–3 contain the same Keggin-type polyoxometalate (POM) although with different oxidation states, allowing the analysis of the effect of the electronic population on the capacitance pe…

Efficient Gas Separation and Transport Mechanism in Rare Hemilabile Metal–Organic Framework

2019

Understanding/visualizing the established interactions between gases and adsorbents is mandatory to implement better performance materials in adsorption/separation processes. Here we report the unique behavior of a rare example of a hemilabile chiral three-dimensional metal–organic framework (MOF) with an unprecedented qtz-e-type topology, with formula CuII2(S,S)-hismox·5H2O (1) (hismox = bis[(S)-histidine]oxalyl diamide). 1 exhibits a continuous and reversible breathing behavior, based on the hemilability of carboxylate groups from l-histidine. In situ powder (PXRD) and single crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) using synchrotron radiation allowed us to unveil the crystal structures of four …

Surface Functionalization of Metal–Organic Framework Crystals with Catechol Coatings for Enhanced Moisture Tolerance

2021

Robust catechol coatings for enhanced moisture tolerance were produced in one step by direct reaction of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) with synthetic catechols. We ascribe the rapid formation of homogeneous coatings around the metal–organic framework particles to the biomimetic catalytic activity of Cu(II) dimers in the external surface of the crystals. Use of fluorinated catechols results in hydrophobic, permeable coatings that protect HKUST from water degradation while retaining close to 100% of its original sorption capacity.

MOF-Mediated Synthesis of Supported Fe-Doped Pd Nanoparticles under Mild Conditions for Magnetically Recoverable Catalysis**

2020

Metal–organic framework (MOF)-driven synthesis is considered as a promising alternative for the development of new catalytic materials with well-designed active sites. This synthetic approach is used here to gradually transform a new bimetallic MOF, with Pd and Fe as the metal components, by the in situ generation of aniline under mild conditions. This methodology results in a compositionally homogeneous nanocomposite formed by Fe-doped Pd nanoparticles that, in turn, are supported on iron oxide-doped carbon. The nanocomposite has been fully characterized by several techniques such as IR and Raman spectroscopy, TEM, XPS, and XAS. The performance of this nanocomposite as an heterogeneous cat…

Spin-crossover complex encapsulation within a magnetic metal-organic framework.

2016

The solid-state incorporation of a mononuclear iron(III) complex within the pores of a magnetic 3D metal–organic framework (MOF) in a single crystal to single crystal process leads to the formation of a new hybrid material showing both a guest-dependent long-range magnetic ordering and a spin-crossover (SCO) behaviour.
