Bimetal Hydroxide Electrodes: “HOT” Alkaline Hydrolysis of Amorphous MOF Microspheres to Produce Ultrastable Bimetal Hydroxide Electrode with Boosted Cycling Stability (Small 49/2019)

In article 1904663, Daofeng Sun and co-workers separately heat and mix amorphous metal–organic framework (MOF) template/precursor and KOH aqueous solution to 120 °C to produce hydroxide electrode. The hydroxide electrode obtained through this unique “HOT” alkaline is extremely stable during cycling. Furthermore, the low KOH concentration of 0.2 m and recycled ligands during the “HOT” treatment are preferable for practical applications.
