Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to invite you to submit your contributions to this Special Issue of Energies on the subject area of “Recent Progress in Metal-Organic Frameworks for Energy-Related Applications”. Metal-organic frameworks (MOF) a family of porous materials marks among the top inventions in material science. The reticular synthesis approach has allowed designing MOFs with desire structure, composition and properties. Over the last two decades, significant milestones and breakthrough have been achieved in developing MOFs based applications.  MOFs hold potential in a wide range of applications such as for gas storage, molecular separation, catalysis, drug delivery, sensing biomedical imaging and ion exchange.

Among the emerging applications of the MOFs are energy-related such as fuel cell, batteries, solar cells, CO2 to fuel, photo-induced hydrogen evolution, lighting and supercapacitors.

This energies special issue aims at providing a comprehensive guide on the development of MOFs for energy-related applications with special focus on the following aspects:

Keywords

  • Hydrogen and methane storage at MOF
  • MOFs for heat pump applications
  • MOFs for Natural and Bio Gas processing
  • MOF conductors
  • MOF supercapacitors
  • MOFs for battery
  • MOFs for Solar cell
  • MOFs for Fuel cell
  • MOFs for lightening
  • MOFs for electrochemical energy storage and conversion
  • MOFs for CO2 to fuel conversion 

Thank you very much!

Water-Driven Structural Transformation in Cobalt Trimesate Metal-Organic Frameworks
by Jayashree Ethiraj, Vinayagam Surya, Parasuraman Selvam and Jenny G. Vitillo

Abstract
We report on the synthesis and the characterization of a novel cobalt trimesate metal-organic framework, designated as KCL-102. Powder X-ray diffraction pattern of KCL-102 is dominated by a reflection at 10.2° (d-spacing = 8.7 Å), while diffuse reflectance UV-Vis spectroscopy indicates that the [...] Read more.
We report on the synthesis and the characterization of a novel cobalt trimesate metal-organic framework, designated as KCL-102. Powder X-ray diffraction pattern of KCL-102 is dominated by a reflection at 10.2° (d-spacing = 8.7 Å), while diffuse reflectance UV-Vis spectroscopy indicates that the divalent cobalt centers are in two different coordination geometries: tetrahedral and octahedral. Further, the material shows low stability in humid air, and it transforms into the well-known phase of hydrous cobalt trimesate, Co3(BTC)2·12H2O. We associated this transition with the conversion of the tetrahedral cobalt to octahedral cobalt. Full article

We report here fast (15 min) microwave-assisted solvothermal synthesis of zeolitic imidazolate framework material (ZIF-7). We have optimized solvent composition to achieve high porosity and hydrogen capacity and narrow particle size distribution. It was shown that synthesis in N,N-diethylformamide (DEF) results in a layered ZIF-7 III phase, while N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) as solvent leads to a pure ZIF-7 phase in microwave conditions. A mixture of toluene with DMF allows the production of pure ZIF-7 material only with the triethylamine additive. Obtained materials were comprehensively characterized. We have pointed out that both X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy could be used for the identification of ZIF-7 or ZIF-7 III phases. Although samples obtained in DMF, and in a mixture of DMF, toluene, and triethylamine were assigned to the pure ZIF-7 phase, solvent composition significantly affected the size of particles in the material and nitrogen and hydrogen adsorption process.
