Abstract
The synthesis of porphyrinic Al2(OH)2MTCPP (M = Co, Cu, Fe, Zn, H2; H2TCPP refers to 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin) metal–organic framework (MOF) thin films is demonstrated. Combining atomic layer deposition (ALD) and pseudomorphic replication (PMR), such thin films were for the first time grown on metallic copper substrates and gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs). The PMR process transforms an ALD-applied metal oxide layer into a MOF thin film upon exposure to a metalloporphyrin linker. Reflecting substrate requirements, MOF thin films were synthesized via conventional solvothermal heating for copper substrates or microwave-assisted heating for GDEs, with the latter significantly reducing reaction times from days to minutes. Characterization by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed the structural integrity and uniformity of the films. This work expands the arsenal of methods that are available for integrating MOF thin films into functional, in particular, porous electrode materials, paving the way for future advancements in catalysis and electrochemical applications.
期刊介绍:
Polyhedron publishes original, fundamental, experimental and theoretical work of the highest quality in all the major areas of inorganic chemistry. This includes synthetic chemistry, coordination chemistry, organometallic chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, and solid-state and materials chemistry.
Papers should be significant pieces of work, and all new compounds must be appropriately characterized. The inclusion of single-crystal X-ray structural data is strongly encouraged, but papers reporting only the X-ray structure determination of a single compound will usually not be considered. Papers on solid-state or materials chemistry will be expected to have a significant molecular chemistry component (such as the synthesis and characterization of the molecular precursors and/or a systematic study of the use of different precursors or reaction conditions) or demonstrate a cutting-edge application (for example inorganic materials for energy applications). Papers dealing only with stability constants are not considered.
