Entropy engineering activation of UiO-66 for boosting catalytic transfer hydrogenation by Mingwei Ma, Enpeng Chen, Huijuan Yue, Ge Tian, Shouhua Feng

“…Here, a novel high-entropy, defect-rich and small-sized (32 nm) UiO-66 (ZrHfCeSnTi HE-UiO-66) has been synthesized for the first time, leveraging increased configurational entropy to achieve high tolerance to doping with diverse metal ions. The lattice distortion of HE-UiO-66 induces high exposure of metal nodes to create coordination unsaturated metal sites with a concentration of 322.4 μmol/g, which increases the abundance of Lewis acid-base sites, thereby achieving a significant improvement in the performance of the catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) reaction. …”
