How Do Conductive MOFs Enhance Catalytic Performance?
The enhancement of catalytic performance in conductive MOFs can be attributed to several factors:
1. High Surface Area and Porosity: The high surface area offers numerous active sites for catalytic reactions, while the porous nature allows easy diffusion of reactants and products. 2. Tunable Functionality: The organic ligands and metal nodes can be customized to introduce specific functionalities that improve catalytic activity. 3. Synergistic Effects: The combination of metal sites and organic linkers can create synergistic effects that enhance catalytic performance. 4. Stability: Conductive MOFs are generally more stable under operational conditions compared to other porous materials, such as traditional MOFs.
