Photosensitizer-Anchored 2D MOF Nanosheets as Highly Stable and Accessible Catalysts toward Artemisinin Production.

ABSTRACT: 2D metal-organic frameworks (2D-MOFs) have recently emerged as promising materials for gas separations, sensing, conduction, and catalysis. However, the stability of these 2D-MOF catalysts and the tunability over catalytic environments are limited. Herein, it is demonstrated that 2D-MOFs can act as stable and highly accessible catalyst supports by introducing more firmly anchored photosensitizers as bridging ligands. An ultrathin MOF nanosheet-based material, Zr-BTB (BTB = 1,3,5-tris(4-carboxyphenyl)benzene), is initially constructed by connecting Zr₆-clusters with the tritopic carboxylate linker. Surface modification of the Zr-BTB structure was realized through the attachment of porphyrin-based carboxylate ligands on the coordinatively unsaturated Zr metal sites in the MOF through strong Zr-carboxylate bond formation. The functionalized MOF nanosheet, namely PCN-134-2D, acts as an efficient photocatalyst for ¹O₂ generation and artemisinin production. Compared to the 3D analogue (PCN-134-3D), PCN-134-2D allows for fast reaction kinetics due to the enhanced accessibility of the catalytic sites within the structure and facile substrate diffusion. Additionally, PCN-134(Ni)-2D exhibits an exceptional yield of artemisinin, surpassing all reported homo- or heterogeneous photocatalysts for the artemisinin production.

Surface oxygenation of multicomponent nanoparticles toward active and stable oxidation catalysts.

Project description:The need for active and stable oxidation catalysts is driven by the demands in production of valuable chemicals, remediation of hydrocarbon pollutants and energy sustainability. Traditional approaches focus on oxygen-activating oxides as support which provides the oxygen activation at the catalyst-support peripheral interface. Here we report a new approach to oxidation catalysts for total oxidation of hydrocarbons (e.g., propane) by surface oxygenation of platinum (Pt)-alloyed multicomponent nanoparticles (e.g., platinum-nickel cobalt (Pt-NiCo)). The in-situ/operando time-resolved studies, including high-energy synchrotron X-ray diffraction and diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy, demonstrate the formation of oxygenated Pt-NiOCoO surface layer and disordered ternary alloy core. The results reveal largely-irregular oscillatory kinetics associated with the dynamic lattice expansion/shrinking, ordering/disordering, and formation of surface-oxygenated sites and intermediates. The catalytic synergy is responsible for reduction of the oxidation temperature by ~100 °C and the high stability under 800 °C hydrothermal aging in comparison with Pt, and may represent a paradigm shift in the design of self-supported catalysts.

Molecular Design and Operational Stability: Toward Stable 3D/2D Perovskite Interlayers.

Project description:Despite organic/inorganic lead halide perovskite solar cells becoming one of the most promising next-generation photovoltaic materials, instability under heat and light soaking remains unsolved. In this work, a highly hydrophobic cation, perfluorobenzylammonium iodide (5FBzAI), is designed and a 2D perovskite with reinforced intermolecular interactions is engineered, providing improved passivation at the interface that reduces charge recombination and enhances cell stability compared with benchmark 2D systems. Motivated by the strong halogen bond interaction, (5FBzAI)2PbI4 used as a capping layer aligns in in-plane crystal orientation, inducing a reproducible increase of ≈60 mV in the V oc, a twofold improvement compared with its analogous monofluorinated phenylethylammonium iodide (PEAI) recently reported. This endows the system with high power conversion efficiency of 21.65% and extended operational stability after 1100 h of continuous illumination, outlining directions for future work.

Understanding CO<sub>2</sub>/CH<sub>4</sub> Separation in Pristine and Defective 2D MOF CuBDC Nanosheets via Nonequilibrium Molecular Dynamics.

Project description:The separation of CO2/CH4 gas mixtures is a key challenge for the energy sector and is essential for the efficient upgrading of natural gas and biogas. A new emerging field, that of metal-organic framework nanosheets (MONs), has shown the potential to outperform conventional separation methods and bulk metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). In this work, we model the CO2/CH4 separation in both defect-free and defective 2D CuBDC nanosheets and compare their performance with the bulk CuBDC MOF and experimental data. We report the results of external force nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (EF-NEMD) for pure components and binary mixtures. The EF-NEMD simulations reveal a pore blocking separation mechanism, in which the CO2 molecules occupy adsorption sites and significantly restrict the diffusion of CH4. The MON structure achieves a better selectivity of CO2 over CH4 compared to the bulk CuBDC MOF which is due to the mass transfer resistance of the methane molecules on the surface of the nanosheet. Our results show that it is essential to consider the real mixture in these systems rather than relying solely on pure component data and ideal selectivity. Furthermore, the separation is shown to be sensitive to the presence of missing linker defects in the nanosheets. Only 10% of missing linkers result in nonselective nanosheets. Hence, the importance of a defect-free synthetic method for CuBDC nanosheets is underlined.

Ultrapermeable Composite Membranes Enhanced Via Doping with Amorphous MOF Nanosheets.

Project description:Thin-film composite (TFC) polymeric membranes have attracted increasing interest to meet the demands of industrial gas separation. However, the development of high-performance TFC membranes within their current configuration faces two key challenges: (i) the thickness-dependent gas permeability of polymeric materials (mainly poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS)) and (ii) the geometric restriction effect due to the limited pore accessibility of the underlying porous substrate. Here we demonstrate that the incorporation of trace amounts (∼1.8 wt %) of amorphous metal-organic framework (MOF) nanosheets into the gutter layer of TFC assemblies can simultaneously address these two limitations by the creation of rapid, transmembrane gas diffusion pathways. The resultant PDMS&MOF membrane displayed excellent CO2 permeance of 10450 GPU and CO2/N2 selectivity of 9.1. Leveraging this strategy, we successfully fabricate a novel TFC membrane, consisting of a PDMS&MOF gutter and an ultrathin (∼54 nm) poly(ethylene glycol) top selective layer via surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization. The complete TFC membrane exhibits excellent processability and remarkable CO2/N2 separation performance (1990 GPU with a CO2/N2 ideal selectivity of 39). This study reveals a strategy for the design and fabrication of a new TFC membrane system with unprecedented gas-separation performance.

Synthesis of a 2D phosphorus material in a MOF-based 2D nano-reactor.

Project description:Synthesis of two dimensional (2D) materials mainly relies on interface-templates, exfoliation of layered crystals and surfactant-assistance. Here we have realized another strategy of polymerization in a 2D nano-reactor. As an application of this strategy, a 2D nano-reactor was constructed within a new pillar-layer metal organic framework (MOF) and in this nano-reactor a moderately stable 2D phosphorus material was synthesized from white phosphorus (P4). Our research may provide a new approach for the synthesis of various 2D materials.

Toward High-Performance Hydrogenation at Room Temperature Through Tailoring Nickel Catalysts Stable in Aqueous Solution.

Project description:The development of highly active, reusable catalysts for aqueous-phase reactions is challenging. Herein, metallic nickel is encapsulated in a nitrogen-doped carbon-silica composite (SiO2@Ni@NC) as a catalyst for the selective hydrogenation of vanillin in aqueous media. The constructed catalyst achieved 99.8% vanillin conversion and 100% 4-hydroxymethyl-2-methoxyphenol selectivity at room temperature. Based on combined scanning transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Raman analyses, the satisfactory catalytic performance is attributed to the composite structure consisting of an active metal, carbon, and silica. The hydrophilic silica core promoted dispersion of the catalyst in aqueous media. Moreover, the external hydrophobic NC layer has multiple functions, including preventing oxidation or leaching of the internal metal, acting as a reducing agent to reduce the internal metal, regulating the active-site microenvironment by enriching the concentrations of H2 and organic reactants, and modifying the electronic structure of the active metal via metal-support interactions. Density functional theory calculations indicated that NC facilitates vanillin adsorption and hydrogen dissociation to promote aqueous-phase hydrogenation. This study provides an efficient strategy for constructing encapsulated Ni-based amphiphilic catalysts to upgrade biomass-derived compounds.

MOF-Derived FeS/C Nanosheets for High Performance Lithium Ion Batteries.

Project description:In recent years, transitional metal sulfides have received much attention as lithium ion batteries (LIBs) anode. In this paper, FeS/C nanosheets are prepared through Fe-based metal organic frameworks (Fe-MOFs) as a precursor. The electrochemical performance of FeS/C nanosheets has been obviously improved due to the synergistic effect of the oxygen doped carbon and the special flake morphology. When the test current density is 0.1 A/g, the initial discharge capacities of FeS/C nanosheets is up to 1702 mAh/g and can retain reversible capacities of about 830 mAh/g over 150 cycles with the voltage ranging from 0.01 V to 3 V. Moreover, these composite materials are proved to have a good rate performance and the capacities reach 460 mAh/g even at a higher current density of 5 A/g. This work suggests that FeS/C nanosheets are excellent anode materials for LIBs.

Electrochemically switchable polymerization from surface-anchored molecular catalysts.

Project description:Redox-switchable polymerizations of lactide and epoxides were extended to the solid state by anchoring an iron-based polymerization catalyst to TiO2 nanoparticles. The reactivity of the molecular complexes and their redox-switching characteristics were maintained in the solid-state. These properties resulted in surface-initiated polymerization reactions that produced polymer brushes whose chemical composition is dictated by the oxidation state of the iron-based complex. Depositing the catalyst-functionalized TiO2 nanoparticles on fluorine-doped tin oxide resulted in an electrically addressable surface that could be used to demonstrate spatial control in redox-switchable polymerization reactions. By using a substrate that contained two electrically isolated domains wherein one domain was exposed to an oxidizing potential, patterns of surface-bound polyesters and polyethers were accessible through sequential application of lactide and cyclohexene oxide. The differentially functionalized surfaces demonstrated distinct physical properties that illustrated the promise for using the method to pattern surfaces with multiple, chemically distinct polymer brushes.

Sub-Nanometer Thick Gold Nanosheets as Highly Efficient Catalysts.

Project description:2D metal nanomaterials offer exciting prospects in terms of their properties and functions. However, the ambient aqueous synthesis of atomically-thin, 2D metallic nanomaterials represents a significant challenge. Herein, freestanding and atomically-thin gold nanosheets with a thickness of only 0.47 nm (two atomic layers thick) are synthesized via a one-step aqueous approach at 20 °C, using methyl orange as a confining agent. Owing to the high surface-area-to-volume ratio, abundance of unsaturated atoms exposed on the surface and large interfacial areas arising from their ultrathin 2D nature, the as-prepared Au nanosheets demonstrate excellent catalysis performance in the model reaction of 4-nitrophenol reduction, and remarkable peroxidase-mimicking activity, which enables a highly sensitive colorimetric sensing of H2O2 with a detection limit of 0.11 × 10-6 m. This work represents the first fabrication of freestanding 2D gold with a sub-nanometer thickness, opens up an innovative pathway toward atomically-thin metal nanomaterials that can serve as model systems for inspiring fundamental advances in materials science, and holds potential across a wide region of applications.
