A mesoporous silica bearing uniformly distributed copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO@mesoporous SiO2) was prepared through silica nanocasting copper metal organic frameworks (MOFs) followed by calcination. The nanocasting filled the micropores of MOFs with silica and then, the calcination removed the organic linker in MOFs and converted copper metal ions into CuO particles, resulting in the CuO@mesoporous SiO2 architecture. The characterization results indicated that the final product basically maintained the original MOF morphology and the mesoporous silica effectively prevented the aggregation of nanoparticles. In addition, the CuO@mesoporous SiO2 exhibited a superior activity for catalyzing the oxidation of styrene, which could be attributed to the fact that the dispersed CuO particles in mesoporous silica provided more accessible catalytic sites and better stability. This work provides a new strategy to prepare nanoparticles@mesoporous silica with adjustable morphology structure, which has a promising potential in the field of heterogeneous catalysis.

Utilization of metal-organic frameworks as heterogeneous catalysts is crucial owing to their abundant catalytic sites and well-defined porous structures. Highly robust [Cu3(trz)3(μ3-OH)(OH)2(H2O)4]∙2H2O (trz = 1,2,4-triazole) was employed as a catalyst...

<p>Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous coordination polymer containing bi-or polidentate organic linker coordinated with inorganic part, such as metal oxide cluster or metal cation as node which called as secondary building unit (SBU) to form infinite structure. Due to high porosity and surface area, good thermal stability as well as the availability of unsaturated metal center or the linker influence attracts the interaction with gases, thus MOFs have potential to be applied as hydrogen storage material. One type of MOFs that have been widely studied is [Zn<sub>4</sub>O(benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate)<sub>3</sub>], namely, MOF-5.Various synthesis method have been developed to obtain optimum results. Characterization of MOF-5 from various synthesis method such as crystallinity, capacity, stability, and quantum dot behavior of MOF-5 have been summarized in this review.</p>

Two-dimensional electrically conductive metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising model electrodes for use in electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs). However, a number of fundamental questions about the behaviour of this class of materials in EDLCs remain unanswered, including the effect of the identity of the metal node and organic linker molecule on capacitive performance and the limitations of current conductive MOFs in these devices relative to traditional activated carbon electrode materials. Herein, we address both these questions via a detailed study of the capacitive performance of the framework Cu<sub>3</sub>(HHTP)<sub>2</sub> (HHTP = 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexahydroxytriphenylene) with an acetonitrile-based electrolyte, finding a specific capacitance of 110 – 114 F g<sup>−1</sup> at current densities of 0.04 – 0.05 A g<sup>−1</sup> and a modest rate capability. By, directly comparing its performance with the previously reported analogue, Ni<sub>3</sub>(HITP)<sub>2</sub> (HITP = 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexaiminotriphenylene), we illustrate that capacitive performance is largely independent of the identity of the metal node and organic linker molecule in these nearly isostructural MOFs. Importantly, this result suggests that EDLC performance in general is uniquely defined by the 3D structure of the electrodes and the electrolyte, a significant finding not demonstrated using traditional electrode materials. Finally, we probe the limitations of Cu<sub>3</sub>(HHTP)<sub>2</sub> in EDLCs, finding a limited cell voltage window of 1.3 V and only a modest capacitance retention of 81 % over 30,000 cycles, both significantly lower than state-of-the-art porous carbons. These important insights will aid the design of future conductive MOFs with greater EDLC performances.
