Abstract
Design and development of cost-efficient multifunctional three-dimensional (3D) metal organic frameworks (MOFs) towards oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) are very significant for green energy devices. Herein, a scalable one-pot solvothermal method is developed to obtain a series of multifunctional 3D flower-like MOFs. In addition, systematic studies are also conducted on the effects of various metal cations and N-containing ligands on the structures, compositions, and multifunctional performance of the obtained MOFs. As a result, 3D flower-like Co-MOFs using Co2+ as a metal cation and 2,2’:6′,2″-terpyridine as a N-containing ligand exhibit the highest multifunctional performance towards ORR, OER and HER. The scalable method provides a new prospect to design and develop other MOFs-based multifunctional catalysts.
