Title: Metal‐Organic‐Framework‐Based Electrochemical Nanosensor for Hydrogen Peroxide
Abstract

Electrochemical applications of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are of considerable current interest. Due to the large surface area exposed to solution, MOFs are potentially useful electrode materials for sensing inner‐sphere analytes, such as reactive oxygen species. Herein, we electrodeposited copper benzene tricarboxylate MOF (HKUST‐1) into the cavity of an open carbon nanopipette (CNP) to produce a CNP‐MOF nanoelectrode. Unlike electronically conductive metal or carbon electrodes, the electrochemical response of CNP–MOFs relies on oxidation/reduction of Cu(I)/Cu(II) nodes in the porous nanostructure. Nevertheless, sigmoidal steady‐state voltammograms with a well‐defined plateau current have been recorded for simple redox mediators, for example, ferrocenemethanol. A linear calibration curve obtained for the hydrogen peroxide reduction suggests that CNP–MOFs can potentially be useful as nanosensors for peroxide.

  1. Abstract

    Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising materials for electrocatalysis; however, lack of electrical conductivity in the majority of existing MOFs limits their effective utilization in the field. Herein, an excellent catalytic activity of a 2D copper (Cu)‐based conductive MOF, copper tetrahydroxyquinone (CuTHQ), is reported for aqueous CO2reduction reaction (CO2RR) at low overpotentials. It is revealed that CuTHQ nanoflakes (NFs) with an average lateral size of 140 nm exhibit a negligible overpotential of 16 mV for the activation of this reaction, a high current density of ≈173 mA cm−2at −0.45 V versus RHE, an average Faradaic efficiency (F.E.) of ≈91% toward CO production, and a remarkable turnover frequency as high as ≈20.82 s−1. In the low overpotential range, the obtained CO formation current density is more than 35 and 25 times higher compared to state‐of‐the‐art MOF and MOF‐derived catalysts, respectively. The operando Cu K‐edge X‐ray absorption near edge spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations reveal the existence of reduced Cu (Cu+) during CO2RR which reversibly returns to Cu2+after the reaction. The outstanding CO2catalytic functionality of conductive MOFs (c‐MOFs) can open a way toward high‐energy‐density electrochemical systems.

  2. Abstract

    Due to the Fenton reaction, the presence of Fe and peroxide in electrodes generates free radicals causing serious degradation of the organic ionomer and the membrane. Pt‐free and Fe‐free cathode catalysts therefore are urgently needed for durable and inexpensive proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). Herein, a high‐performance nitrogen‐coordinated single Co atom catalyst is derived from Co‐doped metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) through a one‐step thermal activation. Aberration‐corrected electron microscopy combined with X‐ray absorption spectroscopy virtually verifies the CoN4coordination at an atomic level in the catalysts. Through investigating effects of Co doping contents and thermal activation temperature, an atomically Co site dispersed catalyst with optimal chemical and structural properties has achieved respectable activity and stability for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in challenging acidic media (e.g., half‐wave potential of 0.80 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE). The performance is comparable to Fe‐based catalysts and 60 mV lower than Pt/C ‐60 μg Pt cm−2). Fuel cell tests confirm that catalyst activity and stability can translate to high‐performance cathodes in PEMFCs. The remarkably enhanced ORR performance is attributed to the presence of well‐dispersed CoN4active sites embedded in 3D porous MOF‐derived carbon particles, omitting any inactive Co aggregates.

    Carbon-based catalysts have been attracting extensive attention as viable candidates to replace platinum towards oxygen reduction reaction, a critical process at fuel cell cathode. An advancement has been the development of carbon-supported iron carbide (Fe3C/C) catalysts derived from the pyrolysis of metal organic frameworks (MOFs). In the present study, a series of Fe3C/C nanocomposites were prepared by controlled pyrolysis of FeMOF-NH2 with a systemic variation of the iron and zinc compositions in the MOF precursor. Scanning/transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic measurements were carried out to examine the morphologies, structures, and elemental composition of the nanocomposites, while nitrogen adsorption/desorption and Raman studies were used to characterize the surface area and porosity. It was found that an optimal zinc to iron feeding ratio was required to produce a catalyst with a preferential pore size distribution. Electrochemical measurements revealed that the sample derived from 20% zinc replacement in the FeMOF-NH2 precursor exhibited the best electrocatalytic activity in alkaline media among the series, with the most positive onset potential and highest limiting current, which coincided with the highest surface area and porosity. The results suggest that deliberate structural engineering is critical in manipulating and optimizing the electrocatalytic activity of metal,nitrogen-codoped carbon nanocomposites.

  4. Abstract

    Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) from industrial point sources and direct air capture are necessary to combat global climate change. A particular challenge faced by amine‐based sorbents—the current leading technology—is poor stability towards O2. Here, we demonstrate that CO2chemisorption in γ‐cylodextrin‐based metal–organic frameworks (CD‐MOFs) occurs via HCO3formation at nucleophilic OHsites within the framework pores, rather than via previously proposed pathways. The new framework KHCO3CD‐MOF possesses rapid and high‐capacity CO2uptake, good thermal, oxidative, and cycling stabilities, and selective CO2capture under mixed gas conditions. Because of its low cost and performance under realistic conditions, KHCO3CD‐MOF is a promising new platform for CCS. More broadly, our work demonstrates that the encapsulation of reactive OHsites within a porous framework represents a potentially general strategy for the design of oxidation‐resistant adsorbents for CO2capture.
