A new cobalt metal-organic framework (2D-Co-MOF) based on well-defined layered double cores that are strongly connected by intermolecular bonds has been developed. Its 3D structure is held together by π-π stacking interactions between the labile pyridine ligands of the nanosheets. In aqueous solution, the axial pyridine ligands are exchanged by...

The search for new ligands capable of modifying the metal nanoparticle (MNP) catalytic behavior is of increasing interest. Herein we present the first example of RuNPs stabilized with non-planar heptagon-containing saddle-shaped nanographenes (Ru@1 and Ru@2). The resemblance to graphene-supported MNPs makes these non-planar...

Supported Fe-doped Pd-nanoparticles (NPs) are prepared via soft transformation of a PdFe-metal oraganic framework (MOF). The thus synthesized bimetallic PdFe-NPs are supported on FeOx@C layers, which are essential for developing well-defined and distributed small NPs, 2.3 nm with 35% metal loading. They are used as bifunctional nanocatalysts...

The synthesis of a new microporous metal-organic framework (MOF) based on two secondary building units, with dinuclear cobalt centers, has been developed. The employment of a well-defined cobalt cluster results in an unusual topology of the Co2-MOF, where one of the cobalt centers has three open coordination positions, which has no precedent in...

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are receiving increased attention as new functional nanomaterials for the development of electrochemical sensors. Herein, we develop an electrochemical platform for non-enzymatic hydrogen peroxide detection built with a composite of two-dimensional cobalt MOF nanosheets and Nafion (2D-Co-MOF@Nafion). The...

Surface reconstituted metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) offer appealing properties for electrocatalysis due to their unique structural and compositional advantages. In this work, a controlled potential-induced reconstruction of a two-dimensional cobalt metal-organic framework for boosting oxygen evolution reaction in alkaline media is reported....
