A composite of Si nanoparticles and a two dimensional porous conductive Ni3(2,3,6,7,10,11-hexaiminotriphenylene)2 (Ni3(HITP)2) metal–organic framework (MOF), namely Si/Ni3(HITP)2, is suggested as a potential anode material for Li-ion batteries.
Incorporating supramolecular recognition units, crown ether rings, into metal–organic frameworks enables the docking of metal ions through complexation for enhanced performance.
Co9S8 nanoparticles encapsulated in nitrogen-doped mesoporous carbon networks have been synthesized by annealing a cobalt containing metal organic framework with sulfur powders. The products exhibit excellent lithium storage properties.
We discuss the characteristic factors that determine the electrochemical potentials in a metal-organic framework used as cathode for Li-ion batteries via density functional theory-based simulations. Our focus is on MIL-101(Fe) cathode material. Our study gives insight into the role of local atomic environment and structural deformations in generating electrochemical potential.
