摘要
Prussian blue analogue (PBA)/metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are multifunctional precursors for the synthesis of metal/metal compounds, carbon, and their derived composites (P/MDCs) in chemical, medical, energy, and other applications. P/MDCs combine the advantages of both the high specific surface area of PBA/MOF and the electronic conductivity of metal compound/carbon. Although the calcination under different atmospheres has been extensively studied, the transformation mechanism of PBA/MOF under hydrothermal conditions remains unclear. The qualitative preparation of P/MDCs in hydrothermal conditions remains a challenge. Here, we select PBA to construct a machine-learning model and measure its hydrothermal phase diagram. The architecture-activity relationship of substances among nine parameters was analyzed for the hydrothermal phase transformation of PBA. Excitingly, we established a universal qualitative model to accurately fabricate 31 PBA derivates. Additionally, we performed three-dimensional reconstructed transmission electron microscopy, X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy, ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy, in situ X-ray powder diffraction, and theoretical calculation to analyze the advantages of hydrothermal derivatives in the oxygen evolution reaction and clarify their reaction mechanisms. We uncover the unified principles of the hydrothermal phase transformation of PBA, and we expect to guide the design for a wide range of composites.
