Puffing Up Energetic Metal–Organic Frameworks to Large Carbon Networks with Hierarchical Porosity and Atomically Dispersed Metal Sites

An energetic metal–organic framework (EMOF) with pre‐imbedded transition metal ions serves as a precursor for the fabrication of large carbon networks with hierarchical pores and atomically dispersed metal sites (ADMSs). In their Communication (DOI: 10.1002/anie.201811126) Q. Xu, R. Zou et al. describe the high‐temperature carbonization of this material: the zinc‐based triazole‐rich nanoparticles puff up to form sub‐millimeter‐scale carbon networks, while the pre‐imbedded transition metal ions are transformed into active ADMSs.
