As sources of renewable electricity become increasingly abundant, new conductive porous architectures that can directly interface with electrical energy are needed. Conjugated 2D metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are a rapidly emerging class of nanoporous conductors with excellent chemical tunability and high surface areas. These materials have shown promise in electrochemical energy storage, conversion, and sensing applications. In this presentation, Dr. Dianne Xiao details her group’s efforts to (1) control the morphology of conjugated 2D MOF nanocrystals, as well as (2) use the square planar structural motifs found in 2D systems to construct lower dimensionality architectures that preserve extended conjugation and interior cavities. Ultimately, the group aims to design new conductive porous materials that can be used to electrify chemical catalysis and separations.
