Controlling variables: Conductive support · Interfacial bonding · MOF loading · Film/substrate contact

Representative materials: Hf12-CoDBP/CNT · Ag@Al-PMOF · CoPIZA/FTO

15284 · 3.2 Combination with conductive materials

Conductive conjugated-framework design

Builds 2D MOFs from planar conjugated linkers and metal coordination environments that promote charge-carrier delocalisation.

Claimed effects: Increases carrier concentration and mobility, creating intrinsically conductive 2D MOFs.

15274 · 2.1.1 Sonication exfoliation

Template-assisted synthesis

Uses sacrificial or oriented substrates/templates to guide 2D MOF growth or to convert templates into 2D MOF architectures.

Claimed effects: Provides a route to otherwise difficult 2D MOF nanosheets and heterostructures, including self-supported electrodes.

Controlling variables: Template morphology · Oriented growth · Precursor-template conversion · Substrate composition

Representative materials: M-MNS · NiFe-MOF/NF · FDM-23

Consensus SummaryHigh supportStructure Property Link

Constructing 2D MOF structures is presented as a way to overcome bulk-MOF limitations by exposing enclosed active sites and reducing mass/charge transfer path lengths.

Evidence basis: multi_reference

Caveat: The review also warns that stacked or partially exfoliated nanosheets can leave active sites inaccessible.

15272 · 1 Introduction

Author InterpretationHigh supportCaveat

15297 · 6 Summary and perspectives

Author InterpretationHigh supportSynthesis Strategy

Bottom-up synthesis can access 2D nanosheets from 3D frameworks with larger lateral size, controllable thickness and higher yield, but often involves more complex procedures.

Evidence basis: review_reasoning

Caveat: The statement is comparative and general; individual systems may differ.

15283 · 2.2 Bottom-up synthesis

Consensus SummaryHigh supportTransport Mechanism

Conductive composites are interpreted as improving MOF electrocatalysis by enabling more efficient charge transfer across MOF/conductive-phase interfaces.

Evidence basis: multi_reference

Caveat: This evidence often concerns composite systems rather than intrinsic MOF transport.

15284 · 3.2 Combination with conductive materials

Consensus SummaryHigh supportTransport Mechanism

Electrical conductivity is treated as essential for electrocatalysts because higher conductivity accelerates electrocatalytic processes and lowers charge-transfer barriers.

Evidence basis: multi_reference

15272 · 1 Introduction

Author InterpretationHigh supportTransport Mechanism

The review frames electrocatalysis as a coupled process in which reactant diffusion, interfacial adsorption, electrode reaction and charge transfer all affect efficiency.

Evidence basis: review_reasoning

Caveat: This is a review-level conceptual framing, not a single primary measurement.

15271 · Abstract

Consensus SummaryHigh supportCaveat

15297 · 6 Summary and perspectives

Author InterpretationMedium supportTransport Mechanism

Porous 2D MOF structures are interpreted as improving mass transfer and bringing apparent activity closer to intrinsic activity.

15297 · 6 Summary and perspectives

Author InterpretationHigh supportSynthesis Strategy

Top-down methods are appropriate for layered MOFs and can preserve the bulk crystal structure, but they suffer from limited material scope, poor thickness/morphology control and low yield.

Research gaps

Open questions are presented as review-author priorities, not conclusions from the primary database.

Device-relevant testing

High

Most 2D MOF electrocatalyst reports use alkaline or neutral media at room temperature, while acidic and elevated-temperature operation is rarely discussed.

Proposed direction: Test 2D MOF OER catalysts under PEMWE-relevant acidic and 50-84 C conditions.

15297 · 6 Summary and perspectives

Controlled morphology

High

Controlled synthesis of 2D MOF nanosheets that are both ultrathin and large laterally remains challenging.

Proposed direction: Develop more sophisticated synthetic methodologies and morphology control strategies.

15271 · Abstract

Hierarchical transport design

Medium

Rational design and controlled synthesis of hierarchical 2D MOFs with broad pore-size distributions and interconnected networks remains challenging.

Proposed direction: Develop 2D MOFs pillared by 1D nanorods/nanotubes or other architectures that optimise surface area, active sites, mass transfer and charge transfer.

15297 · 6 Summary and perspectives

Electrical conductivity

High

Except for several planar pi-conjugated MOFs, most MOFs are intrinsically insulating, creating charge-transfer resistance at the interface.

Proposed direction: Design conductive 2D MOFs through linker/coordination engineering and band-structure guidance.

15297 · 6 Summary and perspectives

Bottom-up mechanism

Medium

Modulator-assisted synthesis remains challenging because modulator choice and morphology regulation are not fully understood.

Proposed direction: Explore MOF nanocrystal crystallisation mechanisms and design more sophisticated routes.

15281 · 2.2.6 Modulator-assisted synthesis

Accessible active sites

High

Stacked or partially exfoliated nanosheets can impede reactant diffusion and leave active sites inaccessible.

Proposed direction: Use advanced morphological design to prevent stacking and increase accessible surface/edge sites.

15297 · 6 Summary and perspectives

Stability under operating conditions

High

Electrochemical stability traces do not necessarily demonstrate structural stability of 2D MOFs during OER.

Proposed direction: Pair activity tests with structural characterisation before and after electrocatalysis.

15297 · 6 Summary and perspectives

Top-down synthesis limitations

Medium

Top-down methods are limited to layered MOFs and often lack control over morphology/thickness while giving low nanosheet yield.

Proposed direction: Improve top-down efficiency and control or choose bottom-up routes when precursor structure is unsuitable.
