Abstract Although porous materials based on coordination compounds, including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and porous coordination polymers (PCPs), have well-defined pore structures and promising properties, they can efficiently be prepared by conventional and facile methods. Among coordination compounds, Prussian blue (PB) and its analogues (PBA) show high physical/chemical properties and potential as a multifunctional platform for various applications such as information records, sensing, b

Herein, the synergistic effects of hollow nanoarchitecture and high specific surface area of hollow activated carbons (HACs) are reported with the superior supercapacitor (SC) and capacitive deionization (CDI) performance. The center of zeolite imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) is selectively etched to create a hollow cavity as a macropore, and the resulting hollow ZIF-8 (HZIF-8) is carbonized to obtain hollow carbon (HC). The distribution of nanopores is, subsequently, optimized by KOH activation

Metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived nanoporous carbon materials have attracted significant interest due to their advantages of controllable porosity, good thermal/chemical stability, high electrical conductivity, catalytic activity, easy modification with other elements and materials, etc. Thus, MOF-derived carbons have been used in numerous applications, such as environmental remediations, energy storage systems (i.e. batteries, supercapacitors), and catalysts. To date, many strategies have b

Abstract Silica materials are used in a wide range of applications such as catalysis, photocatalysis, CO2 capture, and environmental remediation. These nanomaterials (NMs) have been extensively investigated since the advent of Stöber silica. However, the absence of pores and small surface area of Stöber silica limits its applications. Later, the discovery of MCM-41 type mesoporous silica using surfactants as structural directing agents became revolutionary in the field of silica NMs. This review

Mesostructured polydopamine (PDA) coating has been successfully achieved on the surface of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) particles by incorporating Pluronic F127 (with a pore-expanding agent, 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene) as a pore-directing agent during dopamine polymerization. Upon pyrolysis at high temperatures, mesostructured PDA-coated ZIF-8 particles become hierarchically porous double-shell carbons (HPDCs) with a wide pore size distribution ranging from micro- and meso- to macropores

Over the past decades, the development of porous materials has directly or indirectly affected industrial production methods. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as an emerging class of porous materials exhibit some unique advantages, including controllable composition, a large surface area, high porosity, and so on. These attractive characteristics of MOFs have led to their potential applications in energy storage and conversion devices, drug delivery, adsorption and storage, sensors, and other are

Abstract Miniaturized power supplies, such as microsupercapacitors, are highly demanded in micro-electro mechanical systems (MEMS) and micro portable microdevices due to their superior cyclability, high power density, and considerable energy. In this study, we utilize ZIF-8 derived carbon as a source of active material to fabricate flexible microsupercapacitors via a simple electrophoresis method. The deposited ZIF-8 derived carbon particles with high surface area play a decisive role in achievi

Abstract Porous materials are widely studied for water purification and treatment as they can function as efficient adsorbents for harmful chemical wastes with their high specific surface areas. Among various types of porous materials, metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising adsorbents for organic pollutants although the general powder form of MOFs largely limits their recyclability in practical applications. Herein, highly crystalline MOF particles are incorporated into agaros

Nanostructured metal films and particles have been recently exploited as substrates for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) studies because their intrinsic properties lead to substantial Raman scattering enhancement. Among metals, silver (Ag) is one of the efficient elements for SERS because of its potential for high Raman scattering enhancement and low molecular detection level. Substantial electric field enhancement takes place around the center of uniform mesopores as well as on the wa

Electrochemical water splitting is a promising technology for hydrogen production and sustainable energy conversion, but the existing electrolytic cells lack a sufficient number of robust and highly active anodic electrodes for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Electrochemical synthesis technology provides a feasible route for the preparation of independent OER electrodes with high utilization of active sites, fast mass transfer, and a simple preparation process.
