Dataset of "MOF-74(M) (M = Mg(II), Fe(II), Ni(II)) Frameworks to Enable Accelerated Redox Kinetics for Li-S Batteries"

The MOF-74 structures, incorporating Ni(II), Mg(II), and Fe(II) metal ions, were synthesized via a solvothermal method and used to encapsulate sulphur. The microporous nature of MOF-74 facilitates the physical confinement and storage of sulphur, potentially enhancing the performance of Li-S batteries. The investigation focuses on how different central metal ions in MOF-74 influence the conductivity and chemical confinement of sulphur. Overall, the results highlight that MOF-74(Ni) offers the most promising performance due to its effective sulphur immobilization and superior electrochemical properties compared to MOF-74(Mg) and MOF-74(Fe).
