A perfectly intact ZIF-67-derived NiCo₂O₄ shell had been decorated on a Co₃O₄ nanowire core. Due to the specific core–shell structure, the resulting hybrid nanowire array exhibited remarkable electrochemical properties.

Fe-MIL-101-NH₂ was prepared by a novel method. The MOFs adhered well to SPPO via chemical bonds, and yielded the mixed-matrix Fe-MIL-101-NH₂-SPPO membrane for use in fuel cells. The proton conductivity of the membranes was as high as 0.10 S cm⁻¹ at room temperature and 0.25 S cm⁻¹ at 90 °C.
