One-Component Catalytic Electrodes from Metal-Organic Frameworks Covalently Linked to an Anion Exchange Ionomer.

ABSTRACT: Anion-conducting organic-inorganic polymers (OIPs), constructed using metal-organic framework (MOF)-like structures with non-toxic, non-rare catalytic metals (Fe³⁺, Zr⁴⁺), have been developed. The incorporation of MOF-like structures imparts porosity to the polymers, classifying them as porous organic polymers (POPs). The combination between catalytic activity, ion conduction, and porosity allows the material to act as one-component catalytic electrodes. A high catalytic activity is expected since the entire surface area contributes to electrocatalysis, rather than being restricted to triple-phase boundaries. The synthesis involved anchoring a synthon onto a commercial polymer, assembling organo-metallic moieties, and functionalizing with quaternary ammonium (QA) grou
