A Tunable Multivariate Metal-Organic Framework as a Platform for Designing Photocatalysts.

ABSTRACT: Catalysts for photochemical reactions underlie many foundations in our lives, from natural light harvesting to modern energy storage and conversion, including processes such as water photolysis by TiO₂. Recently, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted large interest within the chemical research community, as their structural variety and tunability yield advantages in designing photocatalysts to address energy and environmental challenges. Here, we report a series of novel multivariate metal-organic frameworks (MTV-MOFs), denoted as MTV-MIL-100. They are constructed by linking aromatic carboxylates and AB₂OX₃ bimetallic clusters, which have ordered atomic arrangements. Synthesized through a solvent-assisted approach, these ordered and multivariate metal clusters offer an opportunity to enhance and fine-tune the electronic structures of the crystalline materials. Moreover, mass transport is improved by taking advantage of the high porosity of the MOF structure. Combining these key advantages, MTV-MIL-100(Ti,Co) exhibits a high photoactivity with a turnover frequency of 113.7 mol_H2 g_cat.^-1 min^-1, a quantum efficiency of 4.25%, and a space time yield of 4.96 × 10^-5 in the photocatalytic hydrolysis of ammonia borane. Bridging the fields of perovskites and MOFs, this work provides a novel platform for the design of highly active photocatalysts.

Color-tunable lanthanide metal-organic framework gels.

Project description:Fluorescence significantly improves the performance of gels. Various strategies, such as embedment and crosslinking, have been used to integrate extrinsic luminophores into gel systems, but the procedures are usually complex. Herein, for the first time, we report gels with intrinsic and tunable emission color prepared with 5-boronoisophthalic acid (5-bop) and Eu3+, Tb3+, and/or Dy3+ similar to the procedure for the preparation of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The single-metal gels exhibit intrinsic trichromatic fluorescence, due to which full-color emissions are readily obtained by tuning the type and/or ratio of Ln3+ ions to prepare mixed-metal gels. The emission is governed by an antenna effect and is thus excited with single-wavelength at 275 nm. The nucleation-growth mechanism reveals that the Ln3+ ions and 5-bop produce separated layers, which then grow anisotropically to form nanoribbons by high coordinated valence of Ln3+ ions and biased carboxyl distribution as well as steric hindrance and hydrogen bonds of the boric acid group in 5-bop. The nanoribbons entangle together to generate chemical-physical hybrid gels. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of gels with inherent and tunable emission color. Due to their optical and viscoelastic properties, the gels have numerous potential applications such as tunable emission and multi-target detection.

Surface-Anchored Metal-Organic Framework-Cotton Material for Tunable Antibacterial Copper Delivery.

Project description:In the present study, a new copper metal-organic framework (MOF)-cotton material was strategically fabricated to exploit its antibacterial properties for postsynthetic modification (PSM) to introduce a free amine to tune the physicochemical properties of the material. A modified methodology for carboxymethylation of natural cotton was utilized to enhance the number of nucleation sites for the MOF growth. Subsequently, MOF Cu3(NH2BTC)2 was synthesized into a homogenous surface-supported film via a layer-by-layer dip-coating process. The resultant materials contained uniformly distributed 1 ?m × 1 ?m octahedral MOF crystals around each carboxymethylated fiber. Importantly, the accessible free amine of the MOF ligand allowed for the PSM of the MOF-cotton surface with valeric anhydride, yielding 23.5 ± 2.2% modified. The Cu2+ ion-releasing performance of the materials was probed under biological conditions per submersion in complex media at 37 °C. Indeed, PSM induces a change in the copper flux of the material over the first 6 h. The materials continue to slowly release Cu2+ ions beyond 24 h tested at a flux of 0.22 ± 0.003 ?mol·cm-2·h-1 with the unmodified MOF-cotton and at 0.25 ± 0.004 ?mol·cm-2·h-1 with the modified MOF-cotton. The antibacterial activity of the material was explored using Escherichia coli by testing the planktonic and attached bacteria under a variety of conditions. MOF-cotton materials elicit antibacterial effects, yielding a 4-log reduction or greater, after 24 h of exposure. Additionally, the MOF-cotton materials inhibit the attachment of bacteria, under both dry and wet conditions. A material of this type would be ideal for clothing, bandages, and other textile applications. As such, this work serves as a precedence toward developing uniform, tunable MOF-composite textile materials that can kill bacteria and prevent the attachment of bacteria to the surface.

A tunable azine covalent organic framework platform for visible light-induced hydrogen generation.

Project description:Hydrogen evolution from photocatalytic reduction of water holds promise as a sustainable source of carbon-free energy. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) present an interesting new class of photoactive materials, which combine three key features relevant to the photocatalytic process, namely crystallinity, porosity and tunability. Here we synthesize a series of water- and photostable 2D azine-linked COFs from hydrazine and triphenylarene aldehydes with varying number of nitrogen atoms. The electronic and steric variations in the precursors are transferred to the resulting frameworks, thus leading to a progressively enhanced light-induced hydrogen evolution with increasing nitrogen content in the frameworks. Our results demonstrate that by the rational design of COFs on a molecular level, it is possible to precisely adjust their structural and optoelectronic properties, thus resulting in enhanced photocatalytic activities. This is expected to spur further interest in these photofunctional frameworks where rational supramolecular engineering may lead to new material applications.

Uncovering Two Principles of Multivariate Hierarchical Metal-Organic Framework Synthesis via Retrosynthetic Design.

Project description:Multivariate (MTV) hierarchical metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), which contain multiple regions arranged in ordered structures, show promise for applications such as gas separation, size-selective catalysis, and controlled drug delivery. However, the complexity of these hierarchical MOFs is limited by a lack of control during framework assembly. Herein, we report the controlled generation of hierarchical MOF-on-MOF structural formation under the guidance of two design principles, surface functionalization and retrosynthetic techniques for stability control. Accordingly, the tunability of spatial distributions, compositions, and crystal sizes has been achieved in these hierarchical systems. The resulting MOF-on-MOF hierarchical structures represent a unique crystalline porous material which contains a controllable distribution of functional groups and metal clusters that are associated together within a framework composite. This general synthetic approach not only expands the scope and tunability of the traditional MTV strategy to multicomponent materials, but also offers a facile route to introduce variants and sequences to sophisticated three-dimensional hierarchical and cooperative systems. As a proof of concept, the photothermal effects of a porphyrinic core-MOF are exploited to trigger the controlled guest release from a shell-MOF with high guest capacity, highlighting the integrated cooperative behaviors in multivariate hierarchical systems.

Rational design of a high-efficiency, multivariate metal-organic framework phosphor for white LED bulbs.

Project description:Developing rare-earth element (REE) free yellow phosphors that can be excited by 455 nm blue light will help to decrease the environmental impact of manufacturing energy efficient white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs), decrease their cost of production, and accelerate their adoption across the globe. Luminescent metal-organic frameworks (LMOFs) demonstrate strong potential for use as phosphor materials and have been investigated intensively in recent years. However, the majority are not suitable for the current WLED technology due to their lack of blue excitability. Therefore, designing highly efficient blue-excitable, yellow-emitting, REE free LMOFs is much needed. With an internal quantum yield of 76% at 455 nm excitation, LMOF-231 is the most efficient blue-excitable yellow-emitting LMOF phosphor reported to date. Spectroscopic studies suggest that this quantum yield could be further improved by narrowing the material's bandgap. Based on this information and guided by DFT calculations, we apply a ligand substitution strategy to produce a semi-fluorinated analogue of LMOF-231, LMOF-305. With an internal quantum yield of 88% (λ em = 550 nm) under 455 nm excitation, this LMOF sets a new record for luminescent efficiency in yellow-emitting, blue-excitable, REE free LMOF phosphors. Temperature-dependent and polarized photoluminescence (PL) studies have provided insight on the mechanism of emission and origin of the significant PL enhancement.

Size-Tunable Metal-Organic Framework-Coated Magnetic Nanoparticles for Enzyme Encapsulation and Large-Substrate Biocatalysis.

Project description:Immobilizing enzymes on nanoparticles (NPs) enhances the cost-efficiency of biocatalysis; however, when the substrates are large, it becomes difficult to separate the enzyme@NP from the products while avoiding leaching or damage of enzymes in the reaction medium. Metal-organic framework (MOF)-coated magnetic NPs (MNPs) offer efficient magnetic separation and enhanced enzyme protection; however, the involved enzymes/substrates have to be smaller than the MOF apertures. A potential solution to these challenges is coprecipitating metal/ligand with enzymes on the MNP surface, which can partially bury (protect) the enzyme below the composite surface while exposing the rest of the enzyme to the reaction medium for catalysis of larger substrates. Here, to prove this concept, we show that using Ca2+ and terephthalic acid (BDC), large-substrate enzymes can be encapsulated in CaBDC-MOF layers coated on MNPs via an enzyme-friendly, aqueous-phase one-pot synthesis. Interestingly, we found that using MNPs as the nuclei of crystallization, the composite size can be tuned so that nanoscale composites were formed under low Ca2+/BDC concentrations, while microscale composites were formed under high Ca2+/BDC concentrations. While the microscale composites showed significantly enhanced reusability against a non-structured large substrate, the nanoscale composites displayed enhanced catalytic efficiency against a rigid, crystalline-like large substrate, starch, likely due to the improved diffusivity of the nanoscale composites. To our best knowledge, this is the first report on aqueous-phase one-pot synthesis of size-tunable enzyme@MOF/MNP composites for large-substrate biocatalysis. Our platform can be applied to immobilize other large-substrate enzymes with enhanced reusability and tunable sizes.

Interfacial engineering of renewable metal organic framework derived honeycomb-like nanoporous aluminum hydroxide with tunable porosity.

Project description:Novel honeycomb-like mesoporous aluminum hydroxide (pATH) was synthesized via a facile one-step reaction by employing ZIF-8 as a template. This self-decomposing template was removed automatically under acidic conditions without the need for any tedious or hazardous procedures. Meanwhile, the pore size of pATH was easily modulated by tuning the dimensions of the ZIF-8 polyhedrons. Of paramount importance was the fact that the dissolved ZIF-8 in solution was regenerated upon deprotonation of the ligand under mild alkali conditions, and was reused in the preparation of pATH, thus forming a delicate synthesis cycle. The renewable template conferred cost-effective and sustainable features to the as-synthesized product. As a proof-of-concept application, the fascinating nanoporous structure enabled pATH to load more phosphorous-containing flame retardant and endowed better interaction with epoxy resin over that of commercial aluminum hydroxide. The limiting oxygen index, UL-94 vertical burning test and cone calorimeter test showed that the results of epoxy with the modified pATH rivalled those of epoxy with two times the loading amount of the commercial counterpart, while the former presented better mechanical properties. The proposed "amorphous replica method" used in this work will advance the potential for launching a vast area of research and technology development for the preparation of porous metal hydroxides for use in practical applications.

Dual Metal-Organic Framework Heterointerface.

Project description:Herein, a core-shell dual metal-organic framework (MOF) heterointerface is synthesized. The Prussian blue (PB) MOF acts as a core for the growth of a porphyrin-doped MOF which is named PB@MOF. Porphyrins can significantly enhance the transfer of photoinspired electrons from PB and suppress the recombination of electrons and holes, thus enhancing the photocatalytic properties and consequently promoting the yields of singlet oxygen rapidly under 660 nm illumination. PB@MOF can exhibit a better photothermal conversion efficiency up to 29.9% under 808 nm near-infrared irradiation (NIR). The PB@MOF heterointerface can possess excellent antibacterial efficacies of 99.31% and 98.68% opposed to Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, separately, under the dual light illumination of 808 nm NIR and 660 nm red light for 10 min. Furthermore, the trace amount of Fe and Zr ions can trigger the immune system to favor wound healing, promising that PB@MOF achieves the rapid therapy of bacterial infected wounds and environmental disinfection.

Methylene-Blue-Encapsulated Metal-Organic-Framework-Based Electrochemical POCT Platform for Multiple Detection of Heavy Metal Ions in Milk.

Project description:Considering the high risk of heavy metal ions (HMIs) transferring through the food chain and accumulating in milk, a flexible and facile point-of-care testing (POCT) platform is urgently needed for the accurate, sensitive, and highly selective on-site quantification of multiple HMIs in milk. In this work, a cost-effective disk with six screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) was designed for hand-held electrochemical detection. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) were adopted to amplify and enhance the electrochemical signals of methylene blue (MB). Using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) methods, low limits of detection for four HMIs (Cd2+, 0.039 ppb; Hg2+, 0.039 ppb; Pb2+, 0.073 ppb; and As3+, 0.022 ppb) were achieved within four minutes. Moreover, the quantitative POCT system was applied to milk samples. The advantages of low cost, ease of on-site implementation, fast response, and accuracy allow for the POCT platform to be used in practical monitoring applications for the quantitation of multiple HMIs in milk samples.

Multivariate analysis of disorder in metal-organic frameworks.

Project description:The rational design of disordered frameworks is an appealing route to target functional materials. However, intentional realisation of such materials relies on our ability to readily characterise and quantify structural disorder. Here, we use multivariate analysis of pair distribution functions to fingerprint and quantify the disorder within a series of compositionally identical metal-organic frameworks, possessing different crystalline, disordered, and amorphous structures. We find this approach can provide powerful insight into the kinetics and mechanism of structural collapse that links these materials. Our methodology is also extended to a very different system, namely the melting of a zeolitic imidazolate framework, to demonstrate the potential generality of this approach across many areas of disordered structural chemistry.
