Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides as metal sources of metal–organic frameworks

By taking advantage of the layered structure and decent M-X bond strength of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), herein versatile Ti-MOFs were successfully prepared with layered titanium disulfide (TiS2) as the titanium source. In addition, the phase evolution mechanism, CO2 adsorption capacity and photocatalytic degradation performance of the prepared Ti-MOFs were investigated in detail.
