Improved Catalytic Performance of Co-MOF-74 by Nanostructure Construction

Herein, we demonstrate for the first time the construction of hollow structural Co-MOF-74, of which the shell is as thin as ~50 nm and assembled by ultra-small nanoparticles ranging from 8 to 18 nm. It exhibits high performance for the photocatalytic oxidation of thioanisole and thermocatalytic cyanosilylation of aldehydes.
