CO2-induced switching between MOF-based bio-mimic slow anion channel and proton pump for medical exhalation detection

Inspired by the activation mechanism of slow anion channels 1 (SLAC1) in plants that proton pump reversibly induces plant stomata open for CO2 adsorption, a CO2-switching H+ conduction/HCO3− diffusion dual ion channel (CO2-switching-DIC) was constructed by assembling γ-cyclodextrin-MOF (γ-CD-MOF) and 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic acid (PTCA)...

Conductive Co-based metal organic framework nanostructures for excellent potassium- and lithium-ion storage: Kinetics and mechanism studies

Thanks to the low cost and earth's abundant potassium resources, potassium ion batteries (PIBs) have attracted much interest as alternative energy storage devices. However, there is still a great challenge to develop suitable anode materials for PIBs with high specific capacity, fast charge/discharge and stable ion storage. Nowadays,...
