Quasi-Phthalocyanine Conjugated Covalent Organic Frameworks with Nitrogen-Coordinated Transition Metal Centers for High-Efficiency Electrocatalytic Ammonia Synthesis

Minghang Jiang et al.

Summary: The study presents a pyrolysis-free approach to incorporate ordered quasi-phthalocyanine N-coordinated transition metal centers into a 2D covalent organic framework for enhanced NRR performance. Among the Ti, Cu, and Co variants, Ti-COF exhibited superior NRR activity due to its ability to activate N-2 molecules and suppress HER.

Single atom site conjugated copper polyphthalocyanine assisted carbon nanotubes as cathode for reversible Li-CO2 batteries

Yunyun Xu et al.

Summary: In recent years, Li-CO2 battery has become a research hotspot due to its high discharge capacity, energy density, and environmental benefits. However, the slow decomposition kinetics and difficulty in practical applications have been a challenge for researchers. In this study, copper polyphthalocyanine-carbon nanotubes composites (CuPPc-CNTs) were prepared as the cathode for reversible Li-CO2 batteries. The composites exhibited high discharge capacity, excellent polarization, and stable cycles. Copper polyphthalocyanine provided efficient catalytic sites and CO2 adsorption and activation, while carbon nanotubes contributed to the conductive network. The synergistic effect of the two compounds resulted in excellent catalytic activity.

Rational Design of Electrocatalysts Comprising Single-Atom-Modified Covalent Organic Frameworks for the N2 Reduction Reaction: A First-Principles Study

Keitaro Ohashi et al.

Summary: The study systematically investigated the theoretical NRR activity of various single-3d-metal atoms doped into COFs with different coordination numbers. It was found that as the coordination number or the number of d-electrons of the metal centers increased, the adsorption strength of NRR intermediates decreased. An optimal NRR catalyst exhibits a moderate binding strength with intermediates.
