The catalytic mechanism of the oxygen reduction reaction and the effect of spatial confinement and ligands on MOF-derived materials are studied using DFT calculations.
A fundamental mechanism underlying nanopore-confined crystallization and coordination/de-coordination reactions of quinone molecules has been proposed, enabling highly stable and fast Zn2+ storage for aqueous zinc–organic batteries.
Illustration of the gaseous production and overall coverage for different conditions using both the MkM and kMC methods.
The dual-site doping of Li, relies on transition metal site substitution to reduce the Mn3+ content, suppresses the potential J–T effect and synergises with the “pillar” structure formed by alkali metal site substitution.
Solvent plays a critical role in determining the crystalline phase of Zn–imidazole carrier by regulating coordination equilibrium. This reversible phase transformation does not interfere with biocompatibility and gene-delivery performance to cells.
