Assembly of zeolite-like anionic indium-organic frameworks based on flexible tetra-carboxylate ligands for organic dyes separation

Zeolite-like metal-organic frameworks (ZMOFs) have attracted a great attention because of their special performances in adsorption and separation. It is still of significant to synthesize new ZMOFs with attractive structural features. In this work, two new anionic MOFs, namely [(Me2)NH2]·[In(TCM)]·4DMF (JOU-13), and [(Me2)NH2]·[In(TCM)]·DMF (JOU-14), have been successfully synthesized based on [In(COO)4]- units and flexible tetra-carboxylate ligand (H4TCM = Tetrakis(4-carboxyphenoxymethyl)methane). The structures of JOU-13 and JOU-14 were well characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It is shown that JOU-13 represents a rare example of interpenetrating framework with gis topology, while JOU-14 is a (4,4)-connected dia topological structure. Notably, JOU-13, owning to its porous and anionic skeleton, exhibits outstanding performance in selectively adsorbing and separating cationic dye methylene blue, displaying reversible capabilities in dye adsorption and release. This work provides valuable clues for preparing new anionic zeolite-like MOFs with special properties.

In-Plane Overdamping and Out-Plane Localized Vibration Contribute to Ultralow Lattice Thermal Conductivity of Zintl Phase KCdSb.

Zintl phases typically exhibit low lattice thermal conductivity, which are extensively investigated as promising thermoelectric candidates. While the significance of Zintl anionic frameworks in electronic transport properties is widely recognized, their roles in thermal transport properties have often been overlooked. This study delves into KCdSb as a representative case, where the [CdSb4/4]- tetrahedrons not only impact charge transfer but also phonon transport. The phonon velocity and mean free path, are heavily influenced by the bonding distance and strength of the Zintl anions Cd and Sb, considering the three acoustic branches arising from their vibrations. Furthermore, the weakly bound Zintl cation K exhibits localized vibration behaviors, resulting in strong coupling between the high-lying acoustic branch and the low-lying optical branch, further impeding phonon diffusion. The calculations reveal that grain boundaries also contribute to the low lattice thermal conductivity of KCdSb through medium-frequency phonon scattering. These combined factors create a glass-like thermal transport behavior, which is advantageous for improving the thermoelectric merit of zT. Notably, a maximum zT of 0.6 is achieved for K0.84Na0.16CdSb at 712 K. The study offers both intrinsic and extrinsic strategies for developing high-efficiency thermoelectric Zintl materials with extremely low lattice thermal conductivity.

UoC-7: A Bimetallic K-Zn-MOF with an Anionic Framework Based on Fluorinated Trimesate Ligands Exhibiting a Large CO2 Uptake.

In solvothermal reactions of Zn(NO3)2×6H2O with K(H2mF-BTC) or K(H2dF-BTC) in DMF/ethanol or DMA/ethanol solvent mixtures, single crystals of the MOFs UoC-7(1F) and UoC-7(2F) were obtained crystallizing in the hexagonal space group P63/m (no.176) (H3BTC: 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid; mF-/dF: mono-/difluoro; DMF: N,N-dimethylformamide; DMA: N,N-dimethylacetamide; UoC: University of Cologne). According to the general composition [(CH3)2NH2][K2Zn3(mF-/dF-BTC)3(H2O)]×solvent, UoC-7 consists of an anionic bimetallic framework. The charge is compensated by a (CH3)2NH2 + cation stemming from the (partial) hydrolysis of the solvent. The crystal structure shows large channels along the hexagonal [001] direction, which accommodate the cations as well as solvent molecules. Surface areas (SBET) of 2740 m2/g (UoC-7(1F)) and 1643 m2/g (UoC-7(2F)) were obtained from N2 sorption measurements. UoC-7 shows structural similarities to the MOF NKU-521 with a 5-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)isophthalate linker. Both MOFs exhibit a 4,7,8T14 topology. Despite smaller channels in UoC-7 compared to NKU-521, the CO2 uptake is considerably higher (~164 cm3/g at 1 bar/293 K) being one of the highest CO2 uptakes observed up to now.

Regulating Ion Diffusion and Stability in Amorphous Thiosilicate‐Based Solid Electrolytes Through Edge‐Sharing Local Structures

AbstractAmorphous solid‐state electrolytes (SSEs) play a pivotal role as fundamental components within all‐solid‐state lithium batteries, yet their understanding lags behind that of crystalline materials. In this work, a novel amorphous SSE 5Li2S‐3SiS2 (mol %) with a high ionic conductivity of 1.2 mS cm−1 is first reported. The silicon and sulfur atoms in the edge‐sharing Si2S64− are less attracted to lithium compared to the SiS44− anion, which is expected to facilitate the lithium ions conduction in SSEs. More importantly, the relationship between the material properties and local structure in the amorphous thiosilicate SSEs is revealed, particularly highlighting the desirable edge‐sharing local structure. The Si2S64− presents better stability with Li metal. This work offers an important guideline in the development of anion frameworks in amorphous sulfide SSEs for high‐performance all‐solid‐state lithium metal batteries.

A multifunctional Er-MOF for Methylene Blue adsorption and CO2 cycloaddition catalysis

With the acceleration of industrialization and energy consumption, global concerns for the safety of ecological system and sequent human health have attracted consideration attention increasingly in view of the severe contamination both in aqueous environment and aerosphere. Therefore, the development of multifunctional species for efficient adsorption of pollutants and chemical fixation of CO2 receives increasing attention. Herein, an anionic ErIII metal organic framework (Er-MOF) with large hexagonal channels, is obtained based on a benzene-spaced tetracarboxylate ligand, H4L (H4L = 1,4-bis(2′,2′′,6′,6′′-tetracarboxy-1,4′:4,4′′-pyridyl) benzene). Adsorption analysis indicates that Er-MOF behaves as an excellent adsorbent for selectively absorbing MB in water with a maximum adsorption capacity of 494.1 mg·g‒1. The adsorption mechanism could be a combination of size matching, electrostatic interaction, π···π stacking and hydrogen bonding. In addition, Er-MOF is demonstrated to be an efficient catalyst in the cycloaddition of CO2 with epoxides under mild conditions due to its excellent stability, substantial specific surface area, confined space and well-exposed Lewis acid/base sites. The findings presented herein had great significance for enriching the multifunctional lanthanide MOFs in environmental applications.

Tunable Optical Anisotropy in Rare-Earth Borates with Flexible [BO3] Clusters.

Borates have garnered a lot of attention in the realm of solid-state chemistry due to their remarkable characteristics, in which the synthesis of borates with isolated [BO3] by adding rare-earth elements is one of the main areas of structural design study. Five new mixed-metal Y-based rare-earth borates, Ba2ZnY2(BO3)4, KNa2Y(BO3)2, Li2CsY4(BO3)5, LiRb2Y(BO3)2, and RbCaY(BO3)2, have been discovered using the high-temperature solution approach. Isolated [BO3] clusters arranged in various configurations comprise their entire anionic framework, allowing for optical anisotropy tuning between 0.024 and 0.081 under 1064 nm. In this study, we characterize the relative placements of their [BO3] groups and examine how their structure affects their characteristics. The origin of their considerable optical anisotropy has been proven theoretically. This study unequivocally demonstrates that even a slight alteration to borates' anionic structure can result in a significant improvement in performance.

Waning-and-waxing shape changes in ionic nanoplates upon cation exchange

Flexible control of the composition and morphology of nanocrystals (NCs) over a wide range is an essential technology for the creation of functional nanomaterials. Cation exchange (CE) is a facile method by which to finely tune the compositions of ionic NCs, providing an opportunity to obtain complex nanostructures that are difficult to form using conventional chemical synthesis procedures. However, due to their robust anion frameworks, CE cannot typically be used to modify the original morphology of the host NCs. In this study, we report an anisotropic morphological transformation of Cu1.8S NCs during CE. Upon partial CE of Cu1.8S nanoplates (NPLs) with Mn2+, the hexagonal NPLs are transformed into crescent-shaped Cu1.8S–MnS NPLs. Upon further CE, these crescent-shaped NPLs evolve back into completely hexagonal MnS NPLs. Comprehensive characterization of the intermediates reveals that this waxing-and-waning shape-evolution process is due to dissolution, redeposition, and intraparticle migration of Cu+ and S2−. Furthermore, in addition to Mn2+, this CE-induced transformation process occurs with Zn2+, Cd2+ and Fe3+. This finding presents a strategy by which to create heterostructured NCs with various morphologies and compositions under mild conditions.

EuSi7P10: An Inorganic Supramolecular Nonlinear Optical Crystal Exhibiting Strong Second-Harmonic Generation Response.

Inorganic supramolecular compounds are the emergent class of infrared (IR) nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. However, the reported inorganic supramolecular IR NLO pnictides are still scarce. In this work, a new inorganic supramolecular IR NLO phosphide, EuSi7P10, has been synthesized using the metal salt flux method. The structure of EuSi7P10 features an anionic host framework containing the oriented [Si7P16] dual-T2 supertetrahedra with the guest Eu2+ cations filling in the intervals. Additionally, EuSi7P10 exhibits strong phase-matched (PM) second-harmonic generation (SHG) (4.0 × AgGaS2), large birefringence (0.087 @2050 nm), and wide infrared transparency. This study highlights the potential of inorganic supramolecular pnictides for exploring high-performance IR NLO crystals.

Anionic covalent organic framework membranes for the removal of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances with enhanced selectivity

Nanofiltration (NF) is an effective technology for removing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), a group of emerging pollutants. However, conventional NF membranes often reject high levels of minerals, leading to low salt/PFAS selectivity. Herein, we introduce the use of continuous ionic covalent organic framework (COF) membranes as a novel approach to achieve effective PFAS removal with high selectivity. Thin TpPa-SO3H COF selective membrane layers were fabricated on polymer supports using a scalable counter-diffusion interfacial polymerization (IP) method to form thin film composite (TFC) membranes. These membranes feature a highly negative surface charge and ordered pore channels with suitable pore sizes, leading to impressive PFAS rejection rates, with over 99 % rejection for perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) and 90–95 % rejection for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and two short-chain PFAS. Moreover, the TpPa-SO3H membranes allowed the passage of scale-forming salts, enabling selective PFAS removal with a high salt/PFAS selectivity. Furthermore, these continuous ionic COF membranes exhibited a high water permeance of 19.9–37.5 LMH/bar, outperforming commercial membranes like NF270 and other lab-made membranes.

Open-Framework Vanadate as Efficient Ion Exchanger for Uranyl Removal.

The elimination of uranium from radioactive wastewater is crucial for the safe management and operation of environmental remediation. Here, we present a layered vanadate with high acid/base stability, [Me2NH2]V3O7, as an excellent ion exchanger capturing uranyl from highly complex aqueous solutions. The material possesses an indirect band gap, ferromagnetic characteristic and a flower-like morphology comprising parallel nanosheets. The layered structure of [Me2NH2]V3O7 is predominantly upheld by the H-bond interaction between anionic framework [V3O7]nn- and intercalated [Me2NH2]+. The [Me2NH2]+ within [Me2NH2]V3O7 can be readily exchanged with UO22+. [Me2NH2]V3O7 exhibits high exchange capacity (qm = 176.19 mg/g), fast kinetics (within 15 min), high removal efficiencies (>99%), and good selectivity against an excess of interfering ions. It also displays activity for UO22+ ion exchange over a wide pH range (2.00-7.12). More importantly, [Me2NH2]V3O7 has the capability to effectively remove low-concentration uranium, yielding a residual U concentration of 13 ppb, which falls below the EPA-defined acceptable limit of 30 ppb in typical drinking water. [Me2NH2]V3O7 can also efficiently separate UO22+ from Cs+ or Sr2+ achieving the highest separation factors (SFU/Cs of 589 and SFU/Sr of 227) to date. The BOMD and DFT calculations reveal that the driving force of ion exchange is dominated by the interaction between UO22+ and [V3O7]nn-, whereas the ion exchange rate is influenced by the mobility of UO22+ and [Me2NH2]+. Our experimental findings indicate that [Me2NH2]V3O7 can be considered as a promising uranium scavenger for environmental remediation. Additionally, the simulation results provide valuable mechanistic interpretations for ion exchange and serve as a reference for designing novel ion exchangers.

Highly permeable polyamide nanofiltration membranes fabricated via the construction of anionic covalent organic frameworks /polydopamine composite interlayer

Thin-film composite nanofiltration (TFC NF) membranes can separate neutral/charged solutes and play an essential role in water purification. However, the permeability of traditional NF membranes is severely limited by excessive mass transfer resistance due to the thick polyamide (PA) layer. Introducing porous nanomaterials as an interlayer into PA NF membranes has been recognized as an effective approach to improve permeability. Herein, a novel composite interlayer consisting of anionic covalent organic frameworks with abundant sulfonic acid groups (COF-SO3H) and polydopamine was designed to regulate interfacial polymerization to construct the highly permeable TFC NF membranes. The surface negative charge and hydrophilicity of the TFC NF membranes can be controlled by the abundant polar groups in the composite interlayer. Moreover, mass transfer resistance can be reduced by introducing COF-SO3H to create additional water transport channels. The results showed that the optimal membrane manifested attractive permeability (44.2 L⋅m−2⋅h−1⋅bar−1) and a high Na2SO4 rejection (98.7 %), almost 3-fold higher than that of the original TFC membrane. Furthermore, the optimal membrane exhibited favorable anti-fouling performance and stability. This work provides insight into strategies for fabricating highly permeable TFC NF membranes through the introduction of an interlayer.

Role of Co Content on the Electrode Properties of P3-Type K0.5Mn1-xCoxO2 Potassium Insertion Materials.

Potassium-ion batteries are widely being pursued as potential candidates for stationary (grid) storage, where energy dense K+ insertion cathodes are central to economic and energy efficient operation. To develop robust K-based cathodes, it is key to correlate their underlying electronic states to the final electrochemical performance. Here, we report the synthesis and structure-electrochemical property correlation in P3-type K0.5Mn1-xCoxO2 binary layered oxide cathodes. Spectroscopic analyses revealed a random distribution of Mn and Co in transition metal layers in the oxygen anion framework. In this solid-solution family, Co substitution improved the electronic conductivity and structural stability of P3 phases by minimizing local lattice distortion. Co substitution led to a systematic shift of the Co4+/Co3+ and Mn4+/Mn3+ redox potentials. Galvanostatic cycling showed that the Co substitution reduced the initial capacity while improving the cycling stability. The role of Co on final electrochemical properties of P3-layered oxides has been elucidated as a design tool to develop practical potassium-ion batteries.

A Multifunctional CaII-EuIII Heterometallic Organic Framework with Sensing and Selective Adsorption in Water.

With increasing global industrialization, it is urgent and challenging to develop multifunctional species for detection and adsorption in the environment. For this purpose, a novel anionic heterometallic organic framework, [(CH3)2NH2][CaEu(CAM)2(H2O)2]·4H2O·4DMF (CaEuCAM), is hydrothermally synthesized based on chelidamic acid (H3CAM). Single crystal analysis shows that CaEuCAM features two different oxygen-rich channels along the c-axis in which one CAM3- bridges two sextuple-coordinated Ca2+ and two octuple-coordinated Eu3+ with a μ4-η1: η1: η1: η1: η1: η1 new chelating and bridging mode. The characteristic bright red emission and superior hydrostability of CaEuCAM under harsh acidic and basic conditions benefit it by acting as a highly sensitive sensor for Fe3+ and 3-nitrophenol (3-NP) with extremely low LODs through remarkable quenching. The combination of experiments and theoretical calculations for sensing mechanisms shows that the competitive absorption and interaction are responsible for Fe3+-induced selective emission quenching, while that for 3-NP is the result of the synergism of host-guest chemistry and the inner filter effect. Meanwhile, the assimilation of negative charge plus channels renders CaEuCAM a highly selective adsorbent for methylene blue (MB) due to a synergy of electrostatic affinity, ion-dipole interaction, and size matching. Of note is the reusability of CaEuCAM toward Fe3+/3-NP sensing and MB adsorption besides its fast response. These findings could be very useful in guiding the development of multifunctional Ln-MOFs for sensing and adsorption applications in water media.

Halide Superionic Conductors with Non‐Close‐Packed Anion Frameworks

AbstractHalide superionic conductors (SICs) are drawing significant research attention for their potential applications in all‐solid‐state batteries. A key challenge in developing such SICs is to explore and design halide structural frameworks that enable rapid ion movement. In this work, we show that the close‐packed anion frameworks shared by traditional halide ionic conductors face intrinsic limitations in fast ion conduction, regardless of structural regulation. Beyond the close‐packed anion frameworks, we identify that the non‐close‐packed anion frameworks have great potential to achieve superionic conductivity. Notably, we unravel that the non‐close‐packed UCl3‐type framework exhibit superionic conductivity for a diverse range of carrier ions, including Li+, Na+, K+, and Ag+, which are validated through both ab initio molecular dynamics simulations and experimental measurements. We elucidate that the remarkable ionic conductivity observed in the UCl3‐type framework structure stems from its significantly more distorted site and larger diffusion channel than its close‐packed counterparts. By employing the non‐close‐packed anion framework as the key feature for high‐throughput computational screening, we also identify LiGaCl3 as a promising candidate for halide SICs. These discoveries provide crucial insights for the exploration and design of novel halide SICs.

All-in-one treatment: Capture and immobilization of 137Cs by ultra-stable inorganic solid acid materials HMMoO6·nH2O (M = Ta, Nb)

Capture and immobilization of 137Cs is urgent for radioactive contamination remediation and spent fuel treatment. Herein, an effective all-in-one treatment method to simultaneously adsorb and immobilize Cs+ without high-temperature treatment is proposed. According to the strategy of incorporating high-valency metal ions into molybdates to increase the material stability and affinity towards radionuclides, layered HMMoO6·nH2O (M = Ta (1), Nb (2)) are prepared. Both materials exhibit excellent acid resistance (even 15 mol/L HNO3). They maintain remarkable adsorption capacity for Cs+ in 1 mol/L HNO3 solutions and can selectively capture Cs+ under excessive competitive ions. Furthermore, they show successful cleanup for actual 137Cs-liquid-wastes generated during industrial production. In particular, adsorbed Cs+ can be firmly immobilized in interlayer spaces of materials due to the highly stable anionic framework. The removal mechanism is attributed to ion exchange between Cs+ and interlayer H+ by multiple characterizations. Study of the structure-function relationship shows that the occurrence of Cs+ ion exchange is closely related to plate-like layered structure. This work develops an efficient all-in-one treatment method for capturing and immobilizing radiocesium by ultra-stable inorganic solid acid materials with low energy consumption and high safety for radionuclide remediation.

Optimized Lithium Ion Coordination via Chlorine Substitution to Enhance Ionic Conductivity of Garnet-Based Solid Electrolytes.

Garnet-type solid-state electrolytes attract abundant attentions due to the broad electrochemical window and remarkable thermal stability while their poor ionic conductivity obstructs their widespread application in all-solid-state batteries. Herein, the enhanced ionic conductivity of garnet-type solid electrolytes is achieved by partially substituting O2- sites with Cl- anions, which effectively reduce Li+ migration barriers while preserving the highly conductive cubic phase of garnet-type solid-state electrolytes. This substitution not only weakens the anchoring effect of anions on Li+ to widen the size of Li+ diffusion channel but also optimizes the occupancy of Li+ at different sites, resulting in a substantial reduction of the Li+ migration barrier and a notable improvement in ionic conductivity. Leveraging these advantageous properties, the developed Li6.35La3Zr1.4Ta0.6O11.85-Cl0.15 (LLZTO-0.15Cl) electrolyte demonstrates high Li+ conductivity of 4.21×10-6Scm-1. When integrated with LiFePO4 (LFP) cathode and metallic lithium anode, the LLZTO-0.15Cl electrolyte enables the solid-state battery to operate for more than 100 cycles with a high capacity retention of 76.61% and superior Coulombic efficiency of 99.48%. This work shows a new strategy for modulating anionic framework to enhance the conductivity of garnet-type solid-state electrolytes.

Anionic Hydrogen-Bonded Frameworks Showing Tautomerism and Colorful Luminescence for the Ultrasensitive Detection of Acetone.

Tautomers coexisting in an equilibrium system have significant potential for regulating luminescent properties because of their structural differences. However, separating and stabilizing tautomers at room temperature is a considerable challenge. In this study, it is found that hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) composed of Br- anions can effectively separate and stabilize two proton-transfer tautomers of triarylformamidinium bromide: namely, the nitrogen cation (BA-N) and carbon cation (BA-C). The BA-N crystal consisting of a dense anionic HOF and parallelly aligned organic cations exhibits green thermally activated delayed fluorescence and red room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP). The BA-C crystal contains acetone molecules that induce an antiparallel arrangement of the organic cations to form a loose HOF, producing blue prompt fluorescence and green RTP. Interestingly, switching of the HOFs between BA-N and BA-C can be achieved through the uptake and release of acetone, thereby dynamically adjusting multiple luminescent properties. Consequently, the HOF crystals can be used for the highly sensitive and specific sensing of acetone with a detection limit of 66.74 ppm. This study not only stabilizes tautomeric luminescent materials at room temperature, but also provides a new method for constructing smart HOFs with a sensitive response to a stimulus.

An anionic metal-organic framework decorated with tartaric acid for enhanced adsorption of indium ions

Adsorption and recovery of indium (In) ions is highly important for the sustainable use of this valuable metal resource. This work reports the synthesis of a novel metal-organic framework (MOF) adsorbent, MOF-808-TA (TA, tartaric acid). The introduction of TA molecules was achieved through a post-synthesis exchange of TA and acetic acid that is initially in the clusters of MOF-808. MOF-808-TA exhibits a larger adsorption amount for In(III) ions (173.3 mg g−1) than the unmodified MOF-808 (57.5 mg g−1). Meanwhile, adsorption equilibrium time is 1–120 min at the concentration range of 0.2–40 mg L−1. Further experiments show that MOF-808-TA owns still a high removal ratio for In(III) ions upon the presence of some metal ions. Moreover, MOF-808-TA can be well regenerated with a slight loss of adsorption capacity after five adsorption-desorption cycles. X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and density functional theory (DFT) calculation unveil the synergic chelation contribution of the aliphatic hydroxyl and carboxyl groups from TA molecules. Also, the use of TA leads to the formation of the negative charge property of MOF-808-TA, which induces an electrostatic interaction towards cationic In(III) ions. This work indicates the high potential of MOF-808-TA for the removal of In(III) ions from aqueous solutions.

Immobilizing Triphenylamine with Photoredox Inert Sr2+ Forming Sr‐MOF with Controlled Electron Migration for Photocatalytic Oxidation of Thiols to Disulfides

Comprehensive SummaryThe photocatalytic oxidative coupling of thiols is one of the most popular methods to synthesize the disulfides. Triphenylamine and its derivatives (TPAs) are promising for the above reaction, but suffer from the easy polymerization and difficult separation. To overcome these obstacles while controlling the photogenerated electrons transfer directly to target substrates, herein, we constructed one TPA‐based metal‐organic framework (MOF), (Me2NH2)[Sr(TCBPA)]·DMA·3H2O (1), by direct self‐assembly of tris(4′‐carboxybiphenyl)amine (H3TCBPA) and photoredox inert strontium ion (Sr2+). DFT calculations revealed that the valence band maximum (VBM) and the conduction band minimum (CBM) are mainly located on TCBPA3–, successfully inhibiting the undesirable electron migration to metal nodes. Experimental results indicated that 1 displays superior performance than homogeneous H3TCBPA, which may result from the abundant π···π and C—H···π interactions between the well‐arranged TCBPA3– and the build‐in electric field between the anionic framework and the Me2NH2+. This work highlights that immobilizing TPAs into MOFs is one promising approach to designing heterogeneous photocatalysts for the synthesis of disulfides by oxidative coupling of thiols.
