Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials are being developed for a variety of applications such as electrocatalysis, energy storage, separation, and sensing. Various precursors are used to prepare 2D materials. For instance, metal organic frameworks (MOFs) and their derived materials have unique physical and chemical properties, which endow a broader application prospect. Particularly in electrocatalysis (O2 reduction and evolution reaction, H2 evolution reaction, CO2 reduction reaction, etc.) and sensing, pristine MOFs and MOF-derived carbon nanomaterials are widely used. Similarly, other materials including, graphene, metal sulphides, carbides and hydroxides are typical 2D materials used in electrocatalysis and electrochemical sensing.
Electrocatalysis is used in cutting-edge renewable energy conversion and storage technologies, such as batteries, fuel cells, and supercapacitors. As a result, the introduction of new concepts, materials, methods, and applications has propelled its successful development. Major efforts have been committed to material research in order to increase the scientific impact of electrocatalysis. The idea of electrocatalysis for a sustainable future envisions the opportunity to showcase current achievements in the practical implementation of electrocatalytic materials and methods for energy and environmental upgradation. Furthermore, electrochemical sensors are now widely used in biomedical diagnosis as well as a variety of other applications, including point-of-care monitoring of treatment and disease evolution, environmental monitoring, food control, drug discovery, forensics, and biomedical research. Recent advances in material sciences have enabled the synthesis strategies used in the production of electrochemical sensors to realistically move towards a green and cost-effective future. In recent years, research into electrochemical sensors and biosensors has expanded rapidly, with a particular emphasis on new materials and strategies to improve miniaturization and portability as a response to new analytical paradigms.
This Special Issue will cover the following and related topics:
i) MOFs based materials for electrocatalysis including ORR, OER, HER, CO2RR and so on
ii) Analysis of degradation mechanism of MOFs-based materials and mitigation strategies for improved durability
iii) Scaleup synthesis towards commercial applications and electrochemical sensing applications.
Research articles, perspective and mini-reviews will be welcome in this special issue.
