Nano-architectured design of MOFs-based catalysts

 Ge Wang

As a kind of newly emerged functional inorganic-organic hybrid materialï¼�?Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted increasing attention due to their tunable open metal centers, functional organic linkers, and active guest species in their pores. MOFs offer a new window for fine tuning various structure–property relationships to design MOFs-based catalysts with desirable performance. Recently, in order to obtain catalysts with excellent catalytic performance, good selectivity, high cyclic stability and convenient recyclability, we prepared a series of novel catalysts by designing and tailoring the composition and structure of MOFs, including immobilizing active guest species in the pores of MOFs, modifying the functional groups using a post-synthetic strategy, integrating MOFs with other functional materials or preparing 2D ultrathin MOFs, etc. These MOFs-based catalysts showed high efficiency for catalyzing the aerobic oxidation of alcohols and benzylic C−H bonds, oxygen evolution reaction (OER), etc. Meanwhile, the design concept and structure control of these novel MOFs-based catalysts are also highlighted Biography: Ge Wang received her Ph.D. in Chemistry from the Michigan Technological University in 2002. Currently she is a professor and PhD supervisor in the School of Material Science and Engineering at the University of Science and Technology Beijing. In 2012, she became a special chair professor endowed by the Chang Jiang Scholars Program of the Ministry of Education. Her research interests focus on creating complex materials structures with nanoscale precision using physical or chemical approaches, and studying the functionalities in energy, catalysis, biomedicine and environment applications, etc.
