Molecular-Level Engineering Strategies for Enhanced Charge Transport in Metal‒Organic Electrode Materials
2026/11/3 11:30-11:50
Metal–Organic Framework/Nusantaria C
Metal–organic frameworks are one of the most fascinating classes of extended solids. Their modular design and synthesis (i.e., by varying metal sources, organic linkers/monomer units, and synthetic conditions) allow the structures and properties of these materials to be fine-tuned. As a result, desired functionalities, porosities as well as chemical and thermal stabilities may be customized for specific applications. Especially for electrochemical energy storage, molecular design flexibility of organic moieties allows the number of redox centers (i.e., redox-active functional groups) per structural unit which determines the specific capacity, redox potential (by incorporating electron-withdrawing or electron-donating groups) and conductivity to be precisely tailored. In this presentation, comprehensive strategies on materials design which promote high-performance energy storage systems will be covered. Examples include manipulating organic redox-active monomers, extending conjugation, donor-acceptor pairs, layer-stacking optimization, and electronic coupling induced by mixed valency. These strategies will be highlighted together with density functional theory studies, providing proof-of-concept for the development of metal‒organic and organic-based compounds as alternative electrode materials for sustainable energy storage systems, with exceptionally high energy density, rate capability, and cycling stability.
