Fabrication of hybrid mixed-matrix is a typical and powerful approach to create new functionalities that cannot be represented by single-phase materials. In present study, we have reported the in-situ growth of zeolite imidazolate frameworks (ZIF-67) on layered double hydroxides (LDH) to form porous composites to develop materials for removal of methylene blue (MB) and methyl orange (MO). Scanning electron spectroscopy showed a sandwich like structure of composite decorated with polyhedrons of ZIF-67. For comparative studies, ZIF-67 and CoAl-LDH were also synthesized and used for adsorptive removal of MB and MO dyes. Results showed that ZIF-67@CoAl-LDH has good adsorption capacity (q m , 57.24 mg g −1) for methylene blue as compared to LDH (15.04 mg g −1) and ZIF-67 (57.14 mg g −1). Furthermore, ZIF-67@CoAl-LDH also showed good adsorption capacity (q m 180.5 mg g −1) for methyl orange than LDH (32.27 mg g −1) and ZIF-67 (75.58 mg g −1). Also, with 100 min contact time 79.9% MB and with 90 min contact time 72.3% MO was adsorbed by ZIF-67 and it's composite. The equilibrium adsorption data were well fitted by Langmuir model and relatively high correlation coefficient of Langmuir model

The modern energy conversion and storage devices required high efficient and stable electrocatalysts to fulfil the market demands. In previous years, we are witness for considerable developments of scientific attention in Metal-organic Frameworks (MOFs) and their derived nanomaterials in electrocatalysis. In current review article, we have discussed the progress of optimistic strategies and approaches for the manufacturing of MOF-derived functional materials and their presentation as electrocatalysts for significant energy related reactions. MOFs functioning as a self-sacrificing template bid different benefits for the preparation of metal nanostructures, metal oxides and carbon-abundant materials promoting through the porous structure, organic functionalities, abundance of metal sites and large surface area. Thorough study for the recent advancement in the MOF-derived materials, metal-coordinated N-doped carbons with singleatom active sites are emerging candidates for future commercial applications. However, there are some tasks that should be addressed, to attain improved, appreciative and controlled structural parameters for catalytic and chemical behavior.

But poor performances of electrode materials used in energy devices are main obstacles. Recently, single-atom catalysts (SACs) are considered as emerging and potential candidates as electrode materials for battery devices. Herein, we have discussed the recent methods for the fabrication of SACs for rechargeable metal-air batteries, metal-CO 2 batteries, metal-sulfur batteries, and other batteries, following the recent advances in assembling and performance of these batteries by using SACs as electrode materials. The role of SACs to solve the bottleneck problems of these energy storage devices and future perspectives are also discussed.

High-capacity and long-life electrode materials are essential for the next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and supercapacitors (SCs) with high power density and high energy density. Herein, FeCo-Nx doped hollow shelled polyhedrons excessively covered with a 3D network of carbon nanotubes (FeCo-N x @CNTs) have been successfully developed and investigated as one of the most promising materials for lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors. We developed a self-template strategy to synthesize a series of FeCo-N x @CNTs via one step carbonization process of Fe doped ZIF-67 MOF. Such a FeCo-Nx doped 3D network of carbon nanotubes effectively tolerates the volume strain and prevents the metal nanoparticles aggregation. In the interim, the 3D network of porous N-doped carbon nanotubes agrees fast electron transport to accomplish remarkably excellent rate capability. Consequently, the FeCo-N x @CNTs-1.5 shows excellent electrochemical activity for Li-ion hopping in LIBs and SCs. Additionally, this effort also unveils the synergistic effect of the iron doping on the Li-ion storage capability.

The other advantage is due the structural and functionality of stable MOFs-based porous materials. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are spongy like structures that are composed of transition metals coordinately linked or protected via ligands may be responsible for the active centers and large surface area. In this mini review, we have emphasized the development of water stable Zr-MOFs that have been potentially used as emerging adsorbents for cationic and anionic contaminants in water. The main focus of this review is on the detail study of stability as well as the factors affecting the stability of Zr-based MOFs, including the adsorbent capacities, thermodynamics and kinetic studies. Moreover we have discussed the introduction of metal ions to organic linkers having more replaceable atoms that makes them more reliable adsorbents than other conventional adsorbents. Of note the Zr-MOFs exhibit as an emerging platform for the cost effective, eco-friendly approach and interesting adsorbent-adsorbate interactions for water treatment.

Presently, electrocatalytic water (H2O) splitting is one of the low-cost, affordable, and reliable industrial-scale effective hydrogen (H2) production methods. Nevertheless, the most active platinum (Pt) metal-based catalysts for the HER are subject to high cost and substandard stability. Therefore, a highly efficient, low-cost, and stable HER electrocatalyst is urgently desired to substitute Pt-based catalysts. Due to their low cost, outstanding stability, low overpotential, strong electronic interactions, excellent conductivity, more active sites, and abundance, transition metal tellurides (TMTs) and transition metal phosphides (TMPs) have emerged as promising electrocatalysts. This brief review focuses on the progress made over the past decade in the use of TMTs and TMPs for efficient green hydrogen production. Combining experimental and theoretical resu...

The hydrothermal sol-gel method was used to synthesize hexagonal Bi@PMOS and Ce@PMOS. These PMOS provided an opportunity for bismuth and cerium to retain a hexagonal configuration alongside their traditional crystalline phases (tetragonal and cubic) in Bi2O3 and CeO2 nanosheets. All produced materials were found to be dynamic under sunlight irradiation for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) and methyl orange (MO). However, the Bi2O3 and CeO2 nanosheets showed better potential and photo-catalytic performances than Bi@PMOS and Ce@PMOS due to the presence of the unique blend of crystalline phases. The synthesized Bi@PMOS, Ce@PMOS, Bi2O3, and CeO2 were structurally characterized by FTIR and XRD techniques. These showed characteristic vibrations of successfully loaded bismuth and cerium wi...

Abstract Water as a universal solvent has well-documented for its ability to dissolve various sub... more Abstract Water as a universal solvent has well-documented for its ability to dissolve various substances leading to water pollution. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have been proved to have interesting properties for the adsorptive removal of pollutants from water. In this work, Mn-PBA (Mn[Fe(CN)6]) and Mn-PBA/GO composite have been developed using simple and facile method for the adsorption of ciprofloxacin (CIP). The adsorption kinetic performance of as-synthesized composite for CIP is justified by applying pseudo-second order (R2 = 0.99638) and liquid-film diffusion model (R2 = 0.91603), whereas for the Mn-PBA, pseudo-second order (R2 = 0.99951) and intra-particle model (R2 = 0.80577) is well-fitted. The adsorption isotherm data of Mn-PBA/GO composite for CIP is fitted using Langmuir model (R2 = 0.99994) and adsorption capacity (1826.64 mg/g) is observed higher than previous reports. The relative correlation coefficient value is calculated by using Tampkin model (R2 = 0.62798), which indicated electrostatic relationship between Mn-PBA/GO and ciprofloxacin (CIP). Adsorption of CIP on the Mn-PBA/GO takes place according to endothermic and spontaneous processes (ΔH = +16.94 kj/mol, ΔG = −9.25 kj/mol). The composite has well retained its reusability and the removal efficiency is reduced only 5% after several cycles. Further, the influence of various factors (pH, contact time, adsorbent dose, adsorbate quantity, temperature and ionic strength) on adsorptive removal of CIP is also discussed.
