Abstract
Nickel bis(dithiolene) complexes are strong sunlight absorbers with high thermal- and photostability and are nonluminescent, resulting in remarkable photothermal properties. Nevertheless, nickel-bis(dithiolene)-based metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have rarely been reported as photothermal and photocurrent agents. Herein, nickel-bis(dithiolene-dibenzoic acid) [Ni(C2S2(C6H4COOH)2)2], as a new functional redox-reversible “non-innocent” metalloligand, was innovatively assembled into two MOFs, [Zn2{Ni(C2S2(C6H4COO)2)2}(H2O)2]·2DMF and [Cd2{Ni(C2S2(C6H4COO)2)2}(H2O)2]·2DMF (1 and 2, DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide). Under one-sun illumination (0.1 W cm–2, 300–2500 nm), the temperature of the MOFs sharply increased to 69.6 and 69.3 °C from room temperature in 300 s, concomitant with induced photocurrents of 7.0 and 6.5 μA for 1 and 2. The considerable performance is due to charge transfer, as revealed by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and solid-state UV/vis–NIR spectroscopy. This study not only provides insights into the development of photothermal and photoconductivity materials but also paves the way for designing functional materials with appealing applications.
期刊介绍:
ACS Materials Letters is a journal that publishes high-quality and urgent papers at the forefront of fundamental and applied research in the field of materials science. It aims to bridge the gap between materials and other disciplines such as chemistry, engineering, and biology. The journal encourages multidisciplinary and innovative research that addresses global challenges. Papers submitted to ACS Materials Letters should clearly demonstrate the need for rapid disclosure of key results. The journal is interested in various areas including the design, synthesis, characterization, and evaluation of emerging materials, understanding the relationships between structure, property, and performance, as well as developing materials for applications in energy, environment, biomedical, electronics, and catalysis. The journal has a 2-year impact factor of 11.4 and is dedicated to publishing transformative materials research with fast processing times. The editors and staff of ACS Materials Letters actively participate in major scientific conferences and engage closely with readers and authors. The journal also maintains an active presence on social media to provide authors with greater visibility.
