Conductive Phthalocyanine-Based Metal-Organic Frameworks for Efficient Electrocatalysis
The development of innovative catalysts for various electrochemical scenarios is crucial in satisfying the growing demands for sustainable energy and environmental conservation.Conductive metal-organic frameworks(c-MOFs)based on phthalocyanine complexes known as phthalocyanine-based c-MOFs,have shown promising potential in electrochemical energy conversion and environmental research.These c-MOFs represent a new category of layer-stacked porous MOFs with in-plane extended π-conjugation structure,which can enhance electrocatalytic activity by facilitating the mass diffusion of reactants and electron/charge transfer.The exceptional promising for a variety electrocatalytic reactions,such as water,oxygen,CO2,and nitrogen conversion.In this work,we focus primarily on phthalocyanine-based c-MOFs rather than other types of c-MOFs,providing a comprehensive overview of their conductive mechanisms and main electrocatalytic reactions.We also cover recent progress in the utilization of phthalocyanine-based c-MOFs as heterogeneous catalysts in electrocatalysis.Furthermore,we explore the challenges related to the utilization of phthalocyanine-based c-MOFs in electrocatalysis.The state-of-the-art research and insights into the future perspectives of phthalocyanine-based c-MOFs as electrocatalysts are also presented and discussed.This work aim to guide the development of phthalocyanine-based c-MOF electrocatalysts with enhanced activity.
