Enhancing the energy storage performances of metal-organic frameworks by controlling microstructure.

ABSTRACT: Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are among the most promising materials for next-generation energy storage systems. However, the impact of particle morphology on the energy storage performances of these frameworks is poorly understood. To address this, here we use coordination modulation to synthesise three samples of the conductive MOF Cu₃(HHTP)₂ (HHTP = 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexahydroxytriphenylene) with distinct microstructures. Supercapacitors assembled with these samples conclusively demonstrate that sample microstructure and particle morphology have a significant impact on the energy storage performances of MOFs. Samples with 'flake-like' particles, with a pore network comprised of many short pores, display superior capacitive performances than samples with either 'rod-like' or strongly agglomerated particles. The results of this study provide a target microstructure for conductive MOFs for energy storage applications.

Three-dimensional metal-intercalated covalent organic frameworks for near-ambient energy storage.

Project description:A new form of nanoporous material, metal intercalated covalent organic framework (MCOF) is proposed and its energy storage property revealed. Employing density functional and thermodynamical analysis, we find that stable, chemically active, porous materials could form by stacking covalent organic framework (COF) layers with metals as a gluing agent. Metal acts as active sites, while its aggregation is suppressed by a binding energy significantly larger than the corresponding cohesive energy of bulk metals. Two important parameters, metal binding and metal-metal separation, are tuned by selecting suitable building blocks and linkers when constructing COF layers. Systematic searches among a variety of elements and organic molecules identify Ca-intercalated COF with diphenylethyne units as optimal material for H2 storage, reaching a striking gravimetric density ~ 5 wt% at near-ambient conditions (300 K, 20 bar), in comparison to < 0.1 wt% for bare COF-1 under the same condition.

Controlling Thermal Expansion: A Metal-Organic Frameworks Route.

Project description:Controlling thermal expansion is an important, not yet resolved, and challenging problem in materials research. A conceptual design is introduced here, for the first time, for the use of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as platforms for controlling thermal expansion devices that can operate in the negative, zero, and positive expansion regimes. A detailed computer simulation study, based on molecular dynamics, is presented to support the targeted application. MOF-5 has been selected as model material, along with three molecules of similar size and known differences in terms of the nature of host-guest interactions. It has been shown that adsorbate molecules can control, in a colligative way, the thermal expansion of the solid, so that changing the adsorbate molecules induces the solid to display positive, zero, or negative thermal expansion. We analyze in depth the distortion mechanisms, beyond the ligand metal junction, to cover the ligand distortions, and the energetic and entropic effect on the thermo-structural behavior. We provide an unprecedented atomistic insight on the effect of adsorbates on the thermal expansion of MOFs as a basic tool toward controlling the thermal expansion.

Predicting the Features of Methane Adsorption in Large Pore Metal-Organic Frameworks for Energy Storage.

Project description:Currently, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are receiving significant attention as part of an international push to use their special properties in an extensive variety of energy applications. In particular, MOFs have exceptional potential for gas storage especially for methane and hydrogen for automobiles. However, using theoretical approaches to investigate this important problem presents various difficulties. Here we present the outcomes of a basic theoretical investigation into methane adsorption in large pore MOFs with the aim of capturing the unique features of this phenomenon. We have developed a pseudo one-dimensional statistical mechanical theory of adsorption of gas in a MOF with both narrow and large pores, which is solved exactly using a transfer matrix technique in the Osmotic Ensemble (OE). The theory effectively describes the distinctive features of adsorption of gas isotherms in MOFs. The characteristic forms of adsorption isotherms in MOFs reflect changes in structure caused by adsorption of gas and compressive stress. Of extraordinary importance for gas storage for energy applications, we find two regimes of Negative gas adsorption (NGA) where gas pressure causes the MOF to transform from the large pore to the narrow pore structure. These transformations can be induced by mechanical compression and conceivably used in an engine to discharge adsorbed gas from the MOF. The elements which govern NGA in MOFs with large pores are identified. Our study may help guide the difficult program of work for computer simulation studies of gas storage in MOFs with large pores.

High methane storage capacity in aluminum metal-organic frameworks.

Project description:The use of porous materials to store natural gas in vehicles requires large amounts of methane per unit of volume. Here we report the synthesis, crystal structure and methane adsorption properties of two new aluminum metal-organic frameworks, MOF-519 and MOF-520. Both materials exhibit permanent porosity and high methane volumetric storage capacity: MOF-519 has a volumetric capacity of 200 and 279 cm(3) cm(-3) at 298 K and 35 and 80 bar, respectively, and MOF-520 has a volumetric capacity of 162 and 231 cm(3) cm(-3) under the same conditions. Furthermore, MOF-519 exhibits an exceptional working capacity, being able to deliver a large amount of methane at pressures between 5 and 35 bar, 151 cm(3) cm(-3), and between 5 and 80 bar, 230 cm(3) cm(-3).

Electrodeposition of porous metal-organic frameworks for efficient charge storage.

Project description:Efficient charge storage is a key requirement for a range of applications, including energy storage devices and catalysis. Metal-organic frameworks are potential materials for efficient charge storage due to their self-supported three-dimensional design. MOFs are high surface area materials made up of coordination of appropriate amounts of metal ions and organic linkers, hence used in various applications. Yet, creating an effective MOF nanostructure with reduced random crystal formation continues to be a difficult task. The energy efficiency and electrochemical yield of bulk electrodes are improved in this study by demonstrating an effective technique for growing MOFs over a conducting substrate utilizing electrodeposition. An exceptionally stable asymmetric supercapacitor is created when activated carbon cloth is combined with the resulting MOF structure that was directly synthesized via an electrochemical method resulting in 97% stability over 5k cycles which is higher than conventional processes. High performance in supercapacitors is ensured by this practical approach for producing MOF electrodes, making it a suitable structure for effective charge storage.

Nanoscale metal-organic frameworks as potential multimodal contrast enhancing agents.

Project description:Nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (NMOFs) based on Gd3+ centers and benzenedicarboxylate and benzenetricarboxylate bridging ligands were synthesized using reverse microemulsions and characterized using SEM, PXRD, and TGA. These NMOFs exhibit extraordinarily large R1 and R2 relaxivities because of the presence of up to tens of millions of Gd3+ centers in each nanoparticle and are thus efficient T1 and T2 contrast agents for MRI. The NMOFs can also be made highly luminescent by doping with Eu3+ or Tb3+ centers. The results from this work suggest that NMOFs can be used as potential contrast agents for multimodal imaging.

Energy-structure-property relationships in uranium metal-organic frameworks.

Project description:Located at the foot of the periodic table, uranium is a relatively underexplored element possessing rich chemistry. In addition to its high relevance to nuclear power, uranium shows promise for small molecule activation and photocatalysis, among many other powerful functions. Researchers have used metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to harness uranium's properties, and in their quest to do so, have discovered remarkable structures and unique properties unobserved in traditional transition metal MOFs. More recently, (e.g. the last 8-10 years), theoretical calculations of framework energetics have supplemented structure-property studies in uranium MOFs (U-MOFs). In this Perspective, we summarize how these budding energy-structure-property relationships in U-MOFs enable a deeper understanding of chemical phenomena, enlarge chemical space, and elevate the field to targeted, rather than exploratory, discovery. Importantly, this Perspective encourages interdisciplinary connections between experimentalists and theorists by demonstrating how these collaborations have elevated the entire U-MOF field.

Enhancing Dynamic Spectral Diffusion in Metal-Organic Frameworks through Defect Engineering.

Project description:The crystal packing of organic chromophores has a profound impact on their photophysical properties. Molecular crystal engineering is generally incapable of producing precisely spaced arrays of molecules for use in photovoltaics, light-emitting diodes, and sensors. A promising alternative strategy is the incorporation of chromophores into crystalline metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), leading to matrix coordination-induced emission (MCIE) upon confinement. However, it remains unclear how the precise arrangement of chromophores and defects dictates photophysical properties in these systems, limiting the rational design of well-defined photoluminescent materials. Herein, we report new, robust Zr-based MOFs constructed from the linker tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)ethylene (TCPE4-) that exhibit an unexpected structural transition in combination with a prominent shift from green to blue photoluminescence (PL) as a function of the amount of acid modulator (benzoic, formic, or acetic acid) used during synthesis. Time-resolved PL (TRPL) measurements provide full spectral information and reveal that the observed hypsochromic shift arises due to a higher concentration of linker substitution defects at higher modulator concentrations, leading to broader excitation transfer-induced spectral diffusion. Spectral diffusion of this type has not been reported in a MOF to date, and its observation provides structural information that is otherwise unobtainable using traditional crystallographic techniques. Our findings suggest that defects have a profound impact on the photophysical properties of MOFs and that their presence can be readily tuned to modify energy transfer processes within these materials.

Synthesis of Nitrogen-Doped Mesoporous Structures from Metal-Organic Frameworks and Their Utilization Enabling High Performances in Hybrid Sodium-Ion Energy Storages.

Project description:Sodium-ion energy storage is of the most attractive candidate for commercialization adoption due to the safety and cost demands of large-scale energy storage systems, but its low energy density, slow charging capability, and poor cycle stability are yet to be overcome. Here, a strategy is reported to realize high-performance sodium-ion energy storage using battery-type anode and capacitor-type cathode materials. First, nitrogen-doped mesoporous titanium dioxide (NMTiO2) structures are synthesized via the controlled pyrolysis of metal-organic frameworks. They exhibit interconnected open mesopores allowing fast ion transport and robust cycle stability with nearly 100% coulombic efficiency, along with rich redox-reactive sites allowing high capacity even at a high rate of ?90 C. Moreover, assembling the NMTiO2 anode with the nitrogen-doped graphene (NG) cathode in an asymmetric full cell shows a high energy density exceeding its counterpart symmetric cell by more than threefold as well as robust cycle stability over 10 000 cycles. Additionally, it gives a high-power density close to 26 000 W kg-1 outperforming that of a conventional sodium-ion battery by several hundred fold, so that full cells can be charged within a few tens of seconds by the flexible photovoltaic charging and universal serial bus charging modules.

Controlling Thermal Expansion Behaviors of Fence-Like Metal-Organic Frameworks by Varying/Mixing Metal Ions.

Project description:Solvothermal reactions of 3-(4-pyridyl)-benzoic acid (Hpba) with a series of transition metal ions yielded isostructral metal-organic frameworks [M(pba)2]·2DMA (MCF-52; M = Ni2+, Co2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, or mixed Zn2+/Cd2+; DMA = N,N-dimethylacetamide) possessing two-dimensional fence-like coordination networks based on mononuclear 4-connected metal nodes and 2-connected organic ligands. Variable-temperature single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies of these materials revealed huge positive and negative thermal expansions with |α| > 150 × 10-6 K-1, in which the larger metal ions give the larger thermal expansion coefficients, because the increased space not only enhance the ligand vibrational motion and hinged-fence effect, but also allow larger changes of steric hindrance between the layers. In addition, the solid-solution crystal with mixed metal ions further validates the abundant thermal expansion mechanisms of these metal-organic layers.
