Abstract

Inspired by the rapid development of metal-organic-framework-derived materials in various applications, a facile synthetic strategy was developed for fabrication of 3D hierarchical nanoarchitectures. A surface-mounted metal-organic framework membrane was pyrolyzed at a range of temperatures to produce catalysts with excellent trifunctional electrocatalytic efficiencies for the oxygen reduction, hydrogen evolution, and oxygen evolution reactions.

Keywords: ZIF-67; carbon nanotubes; melamine sponge; membranes; surface-mounted MOFs.
