Directed Growth of Metal‐Organic Frameworks and Their Derived Carbon‐Based Network for Efficient Electrocatalytic Oxygen Reduction

Abstract

A honeycomb-like carbon-based network is obtained by in situ nucleation and directed growth of metal–organic framework (MOF) arrays on the surface of layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanoplatelets, followed by a subsequent pyrolysis process, which exhibits largely enhanced electrocatalytic ORR performances. A successful paradigm for the directed growth of highly oriented MOF arrays is demonstrated, with potential applications for energy storage and conversion.
