Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) have been recently proposed as promising electrocatalysts, yet the exact nature of the mechanisms in play has not been addressed in depth. By comparing the electrocatalytic activity of a MOF for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and the corresponding molecular building units through electrochemical techniques, here, we investigate the nature of the catalytic sites, their redox states and the electron transfer pathways.
金属有机框架材料(MOFs)最近被认为是很有前景的电催化剂,但其中起作用的机制的确切性质尚未得到深入研究。通过电化学技术比较一种MOF对氧还原反应(ORR)的电催化活性及其相应的分子构建单元,在此我们研究了催化位点的性质、它们的氧化还原状态以及电子转移途径。
