8 p, 4.8 MB Metal−organic frameworks : why make them small? / Wang, Jiemin (Institut Català de Nanociència i Nanotecnologia) ; Imaz, Inhar (Institut Català de Nanociència i Nanotecnologia) ; Maspoch Comamala, Daniel (Institut Català de Nanociència i Nanotecnologia)
Recent studies have demonstrated that metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) can be miniaturized down to the submicroscale and even nanoscale to create small MOFs. Herein, the basic concepts and recent progresses concerning the core question of "MOFs, why make them small?" are briefly introduced from three perspectives: those of size, shape, and processability. [...]

Departament de Física) ; Arbiol i Cobos, Jordi (Institut Català de Nanociència i Nanotecnologia)
The adsorption and activation of CO on the electrode interface is a prerequisite and key step for electrocatalytic CO reduction reaction (eCO RR). Regulating the interfacial microenvironment to promote the adsorption and activation of CO is thus of great significance to optimize overall conversion efficiency. [...]

21 p, 1.0 MB Millimeter-shaped metal-organic framework/inorganic nanoparticle composite as a new adsorbent for home water-purification filters / Boix, Gerard (Institut Català de Nanociència i Nanotecnologia) ; Han, Xu (Institut Català de Nanociència i Nanotecnologia) ; Imaz, Inhar (Institut Català de Nanociència i Nanotecnologia) ; Maspoch Comamala, Daniel (Institut Català de Nanociència i Nanotecnologia)
Heavy-metal contamination of water is a global problem with an especially severe impact in countries with old or poorly maintained infrastructure for potable water. An increasingly popular solution for ensuring clean and safe drinking water in homes is the use of adsorption-based water filters, given their affordability, efficacy, and simplicity. [...]

24 p, 462.3 KB Surface Functionalization of Metal-Organic Framework Crystals with Catechol Coatings for Enhanced Moisture Tolerance / Castells Gil, Javier (Universitat de València. Instituto de Ciencia Molecular) ; Novio Vázquez, Fernando (Institut Català de Nanociència i Nanotecnologia) ; Padial, Natalia M. (Universitat de València. Instituto de Ciencia Molecular) ; Tatay, Sergio (Universitat de València. Instituto de Ciencia Molecular) ; Ruiz-Molina, Daniel (Institut Català de Nanociència i Nanotecnologia) ; Martí Gastaldo, Carlos (Universitat de València. Instituto de Ciencia Molecular)
Robust catechol coatings for enhanced moisture tolerance were produced in one step by direct reaction of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) with synthetic catechols. We ascribe the rapid formation of homogeneous coatings around the metal-organic framework particles to the biomimetic catalytic activity of Cu(II) dimers in the external surface of the crystals.

Here, we report the synthesis of (multi)-layered zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8/-67) composite particles via a sequential deconstruction-reconstruction process. We show that this process can be applied to construct ZIF-8-on-ZIF-67 composite particles whose cores are the initially etched particles. [...]
