Abstract
Two new transition metal–organic framework (MOF) complexes, Co-MOF (C28H17CoN6O9S2) and Ni-MOF (C28H6NNi8O2S0.06), were synthesized using a hydrothermal method. Upon characterization and analysis, Co-MOF and Ni-MOF showed similar structures, in which Co2+ or Ni2+ coordinated with two pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid ligands to form octahedral geometric configurations, which in turn formed one-dimensional layered structure, while Py2TTz ligands existed between these layers to enlarge the pore size of MOFs. Co-MOF showed superior performance than Ni-MOF in the OER process, with a low overpotential (227 mV) and Tafel slope (51.4 mV dec‑1) at 10 mA cm-2 current density. This work provided new insight into designing transition MOFs for electrocatalytic water splitting.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular Structure is dedicated to the publication of full-length articles and review papers, providing important new structural information on all types of chemical species including:
• Stable and unstable molecules in all types of environments (vapour, molecular beam, liquid, solution, liquid crystal, solid state, matrix-isolated, surface-absorbed etc.)
• Chemical intermediates
• Molecules in excited states
• Biological molecules
• Polymers.
The methods used may include any combination of spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic techniques, for example:
• Infrared spectroscopy (mid, far, near)
• Raman spectroscopy and non-linear Raman methods (CARS, etc.)
• Electronic absorption spectroscopy
• Optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism
• Fluorescence and phosphorescence techniques
• Electron spectroscopies (PES, XPS), EXAFS, etc.
• Microwave spectroscopy
• Electron diffraction
• NMR and ESR spectroscopies
• Mössbauer spectroscopy
• X-ray crystallography
• Charge Density Analyses
• Computational Studies (supplementing experimental methods)
We encourage publications combining theoretical and experimental approaches. The structural insights gained by the studies should be correlated with the properties, activity and/ or reactivity of the molecule under investigation and the relevance of this molecule and its implications should be discussed.
