Summary: Ca2+ acts as a structure-directing agent to transform melon-based carbon nitride to crystalline CaPHI with ordered pore channels, extended visible light absorption, and altered band structure as compared to KPHI. Protons can replace Ca2+ atoms in CaPHI to enhance porosity without disrupting crystal structure. The proton-exchanged PHI frameworks exhibit high adsorption affinity for CO2 and exceptional performance for selective carbon capture.

Summary: In this study, an n-n type heterojunction with Cu-N and B-N dual active sites was synthesized by in situ growth of a conductive metal-organic framework (MOF) [Cu-3(HITP)(2)] on hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanosheets. The optimized Cu-3(HITP)(2)@h-BN exhibited outstanding electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction performance with NH3 production of 146.2 μg/h mg(cat) and a Faraday efficiency of 42.5% due to its high porosity, abundant oxygen vacancies, and Cu-N/B-N dual active sites. The construction of the n-n heterojunction efficiently modulated the state density of active metal sites, facilitating charge transfer at the catalyst-reactant interface. Additionally, the NH3 production pathway catalyzed by the Cu-3(HITP)(2)@h-BN heterojunction was elucidated by in situ FT-IR spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations. This work presents an alternative approach to designing advanced electrocatalysts based on conductive MOFs.
