Synthesis of bimetallic MOFs via interface control using gallium-based liquid metal.

ABSTRACT: Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous crystalline materials whose composition and structure can be tuned for catalysis, sensing, and optoelectronic applications. Incorporating two different metal ions into a single framework can broaden the functionalities of MOFs. However, conventional solvothermal synthesis typically requires high temperature and long reaction times, while electrochemical anodic dissolution is limited by solid anodes that can only supply a single metal source. For active metals such as Mg, the rapid formation of a passivation layer on solid anodes hinders the continuous release of metal ions. Here, we introduce a liquid metal interface-controlled electrochemical strategy using a fluid Mg-Ga alloy anode, overcoming the single-metal limitation of conventional anodic d
