Abstract

Abstract Metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) are highly versatile materials with tunable chemical and structural properties, making them promising for triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) and electrocatalysis. However, achieving precise control over MOF coordination structures to optimize facet‐dependent properties remains challenging. Here, a facile and scalable dual‐solvent synthesis strategy is presented to fabricate dendrite Co‐2‐methylimidazole MOF (ZIF‐67‐D), enabling tailored preferred facet and coordination environments. Using density functional theory (DFT) calculations and synchrotron‐based X‐ray absorption spectroscopy, it is demonstrated that ZIF‐67‐D, enriched with (112) facets, features a reduced Co…
