International Symposium on Metal-Organic Frameworks: Electrochemical Properties and Applications
Abstract
The Nanostructured Functional Materials for Electrochemistry Symposium is part of the 239th Meeting of the Electrochemical Society (ECS), taking place May 30, 2021 Ð June 3, 2021 in Chicago, Illinois. The symposium will cover all the aspects of electrochemical functional materials. The symposium invites papers on new developments on synthesis of electroactive materials as well as experimental approaches that may lead to improved operation of the electrochemical devices consisting of those components. Particular emphasis will be placed on nanoscale self-organized systems such as anodic nanotubes and nanopores. Papers are solicited but not limited to the following topics: 1. Electrode materials including carbon, semiconductors, metals for electrocatalysis 2. Electroactive redox polymers 3. Self-organized anodic oxides formed on valve metals and alloys 4. Organic/inorganic hybrid materials 5. Electrochemical synthesis of nanotubes/nanopores One specific material category of interest for this symposium comprises the family of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). MOFs are highly-structured, porous materials composed of metal ion/oxide "nodes" connected by multidentate coordinating organic "linkers". Their structure is defined and maintained by the coordinating geometry of the metal (cluster) and the chemical structure of the organic linkers. The surface chemistry of the porosity of a given MOF is then defined primarily by the backbone of and substituents on the organic linkers. The term metal-organic framework dates at least to a paper by Yaghi et al. (Nature 378, p703, 1995), which reported on the substrate selectivity and structural and chemical stability of prototypical MOF species. MOFs are extensively represented in the electrochemical literature, encompassing a range of topics including catalysts, capacitors, batteries, and sensors. In addition to their value in direct use as active/functional materials, MOFs also represent attractive synthetic precursors, as their highly-ordered structures represent a well-defined, homogeneous starting point for downstream transformations. This symposium welcomes submissions spanning all aspects of the properties and applications of MOFs as electrochemical materials, including both experimental and theoretical topics.
