Article Abstract

We first report a solid-state crystalline "Mg conductor" showing a superionic conductivity of around 10 S cm at ambient temperature, which was obtained using the pores of a metal-organic framework (MOF), MIL-101, as ion-conducting pathways. The MOF, MIL-101⊃{Mg(TFSI)} (TFSI = bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide), containing Mg inside its pores, showed a superionic conductivity of 1.9 × 10 S cm at room temperature (RT) (25 °C) under the optimal guest vapor (MeCN), which is the highest value among all Mg-containing crystalline compounds. The Mg conductivity in the MOF was estimated to be 0.8 × 10 S cm at RT, by determining the transport number of Mg ( = 0.41), which is the level as high as practical use for secondary battery. Measurements of adsorption isotherms, pressure dependence of ionic conductivity, and in situ Fourier transform infrared measurements revealed that the "super Mg conductivity" is caused by the efficient migration of the Mg carrier with the help of adsorbed guest molecules.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are transformative platforms for heterogeneous catalysis, but distinguishing atomically dispersed metal sites from subnanometric clusters remains a major challenge. This often demands the integration of multiple characterization techniques, many of which either lack the resolving power to distinguish active sites from their surrounding environments (e.g.

Exhaled breath analysis offers noninvasive, early lung cancer detection via volatile organic compound (VOC) biomarkers, surpassing blood-based methods. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is ideal for this purpose, combining molecular fingerprint specificity with single-molecule sensitivity. However, conventional SERS substrates face a fundamental limitation: while porous materials such as metal-organic frameworks effectively adsorb VOCs through their subnanometer pores (0.

Organic solar cells (OSCs) with p-i-n architecture usually exhibit decent efficiency due to the easily tunable energy levels of organic interfacial layers (ILs). However, their operational lifetime is limited by the morphological instability of organic ILs especially the electron-transporting layer (ETL) that shows strong self-aggregation tendency. Besides, organic ETLs are confronted with significant challenges including large batch-to-batch variations and high costs.

Artificial cytoskeletons are constructed to study the structure and function of eukaryotic cells. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) provide a strong foundation for the construction of artificial cytoskeleton by encapsulating enzyme, yet challenges such as random enzyme distribution and poor catalytic efficiency, impede the development of artificial cytoskeleton technologies. Herein, a multilayer MOFs-based programmable artificial cytoskeleton was constructed through a heterogeneous interfacial growth method, utilizing hierarchical encapsulation of enzymes to facilitate tandem biocatalytic reactions.
