Surfactant-assisted synthesis and electrochemical properties of an unprecedented polyoxometalate-based metal-organic nanocaged framework

Chem Commun (Camb). 2019 Jan 24;55(9):1201-1204. doi: 10.1039/c8cc08559e.

Abstract

The first polyoxometalate (POM)-containing nanocage based metal-organic framework (Zn-POMCF) was synthesized by a surfactant-assisted method. In contrast to the Zn-based metal-organic framework (Zn-MOF), the cooperative assembly of POM and a Zn/trz macrocycle gave rise to high stability and good electrochemical ability of the Zn-POMCF in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).
