Summary: A lithium metal battery (LMB) without Li disk or foil is developed by modifying the Cu current collector with mercapto metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) impregnating Ag nanoparticles (NPs). The MOF pores compartmentalize bulk Li into a 3D matrix Li storage and enhance the lithiophilicity, polarity, and porosity for reversible Li plating/stripping. The full cells pairing the modified anodes with LiFePO4 cathodes exhibit high specific capacity, Coulombic efficiency, and cycling stability. This study highlights the functionalization of MOFs and paves the way for high-performance anode-free LMBs through modification of the Cu current collector.

Summary: This article reports the fine regulation of mesopores in N-doped carbon materials by pyrolyzing metal-triazolate (MET) frameworks with different particle sizes and ramp rates. The higher thermal transfer rates caused by smaller particle size and higher ramp rate result in more violent decomposition and larger mesopores in the derivatives. Consequently, a series of N-doped carbon materials with controllable mesopores are obtained. As a proof-of-concept, high-performance electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction are achieved by encapsulating ultrafine Pt nanoparticles inside these mesopores.
