Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), constructed from metal ions and organic linkers, have emerged as a class of highly ordered materials with tunable properties. Nickel, owing to its {redoxadaptability, has proven to be a popular constituent for MOF synthesis. This review comprehensively summarizes the recent advances in nickel-based MOF synthesis, en

Polymer nanocomposites emerge a groundbreaking class of materials synthesized by embedding nanomaterials into a polymer matrix. This refined dispersion of nanoparticles, including silica, at the nanoscale substantially enhances the mechanical, thermal, and barrier properties of the conventional polymer. The resulting nanocomposites exhibit a synerg
