Dynamic single-site polysulfide immobilization in long-range disorder Cu-MOFs.

We report the electrochemical amorphization of Cu3(BTC)2 MOFs in polysulfide electrolyte. We unveil the dynamic single-site polysulfide immobilization at the interconvertible Cu2+/Cu+ cation centres upon polysulfide adsorption and desorption, along with the reversible distortion of the Cu-O square planar unit.
