Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Porous metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), which are assembled by organic ligands and metal nodes (ions or clusters) with coordination bonds, have been widely studied over the past several decades due to their huge specific surface area (1000-10000 m2 /g), high crystallinity and, more importantly, tailored-to-application structural tuneability. Originating from the unique metal–organic crystal structure, MOFs not only possess metal activity, but also have the flexibility of organic ligands and other physical and chemical properties, as well as special pore structures. Under the synergy of these favorable factors, MOFs are endowed with excellent gas adsorption or separation capabilities, excellent catalytic activity, good antibacterial properties, low cytotoxicity, and sensitive sensing, making MOFs suitable candidates in the fields of adsorption separation, energy storage, catalysis, biomedicine, etc. Since MOF materials were first reported in 1990, more than 20,000 different MOFs have been synthesized in just over 30 years. MOFs with different structures can be obtained by controlling the molar ratio of ligands to metal ions and the reaction conditions. Based on the understanding of the structure and the prospects of broad applications, researchers have developed various synthetic strategies. This Special Issue focuses on advances in metal–organic framework-based materials, especially their chemical synthesis and applications.

The metal–organic framework (MOF) is a class of materials that exhibits a notable capacity for electron transfer. This unique framework design offers potential applications in various fields, including catalysis, gas storage, and sensing. Herein, we focused on a specific type of MOF called Ti-MOF. To enhance its properties and functionality, the composite material was prepared by incorporating graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) into the Ti-MOF structure. This composite, known as g-C3N4@Ti-MOF, was selected as the active material for ion detection, specifically targeting calcium ions (Ca2+). To gain a comprehensive understanding of the structural and chemical properties of the g-C3N4@Ti-MOF composite, several analytical techniques were employed to characterize the prepared g-C3N4@Ti-MOF composite, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), SEM-EDX, and FT-IR. For comparison, different pastes were prepared by mixing Ti-MOF or g-C3N4@Ti-MOF, graphite, and o-NPOE as a plasticizer. The divalent Nernstian responses of the two best electrodes, I and II, were 28.15 ± 0.47 and 29.80 ± 0.66 mV decade−1, respectively, with concentration ranges of 1 µM–1 mM and 0.1 µM–1 mM with a content 1.0 mg Ti-MOF: 250 mg graphite: 0.1 mL o-NPOE and 0.5 mg g-C3N4@Ti-MOF: 250 mg graphite: 0.1 mL o-NPOE, respectively. The electrodes showed high sensitivity and selectivity for Ca2+ ions over different species. The suggested electrodes have been successfully employed for Ca2+ ion measurement in various real samples with excellent precision (RSD = 0.74–1.30%) and accuracy (recovery = 98.5–100.2%), and they exhibited good agreement with the HPLC.
