Power of large pores in MOFs!
In our latest work by our student Tsan-Yu, aniline was polymerized in Zr-MOFs with large mesopores, small mesopores, and only micropores. PANI@large mesoporous MOF shows the best rate capability!
Check it in ACS Appl. Mater. Interfaces:

Seeing some ppl (getting more) publishing >100 papers/yr with some high-impact-factor journals. Feeling that from now on, it does not matter which Journal you published and how many. Only things matter are science reported in each work and your actual contributions in each.

Mesopore matters! Our master student Tzu-Hsien's work shows that creating large mesopores in Zr-MOF by surfactant-assisted synthesis can accelerate the ion-coupled charge-hopping process and thus boost electrochemical performances. It is out in Electrochimica Acta:
