6. Low-temperature CO oxidation is increasingly important in relation to cleaning air and lowering automotive emissions. Metal-oxide-supported Au nanoparticle (NP) catalysts are commonly used for CO oxidation. The key to effective CO oxidation is the design of catalysts featuring high porosity and strong metal-support interactions. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with high surface areas offer a potential platform for the design of promising catalysts, but their inorganic nodes are partitioned by organic ligands and show weak interaction with the guest metal NPs. Here, we demonstrate a general strategy for the fabrication of a “quasi-MOF” to realize both a porous structure and a strong interaction with a synergetic effect between the immobilized metal NPs and the inorganic nodes. The metal NP/quasi-MOF composite exhibits high catalytic activity in low-temperature CO oxidation. This work has been published on Chem, 2018, 4, 845.
5. Small metal nanoclusters often display high catalytic activity, but also low stability due to aggregation. Here, Xu and co-workers show that subnanometre Pd clusters can be contained within porous organic cages. Not only do the particles retain high catalytic activity, they also show excellent solubility and stability. This work has been published on Nat. Catal., 2018, 1, 214-220.
