▎ 摘　　要

A metal-organic framework (MOF) seed-mediated deposition route is developed to synthesize MOF/graphene oxide (GO)/MOF nano-sandwiches with core-shell structured MOF (i.e. ZIF-8@ZIF-67) crystals uniformly distributed on GO. Due to the well controllable growth rate, ZIF-8 seeds are first deposited on GO. Then, ZIF-67 species are selectively deposited on the surface of ZIF-8 to form core-shell structures owing to their similar crystal structure and unit cell parameter. Compared with the direct deposition of ZIF-67 crystals on GO, this MOF seed-mediated synthesis can effectively prevent the over-growth and inhomogeneous distribution of ZIF-67 crystals. The GO/core-shell MOF composites are further demonstrated to be an excellent precursor for cobalt/N-doped carbon nanosheets, which are efficient nonprecious metal catalysts for oxygen reduction reactions, and exhibit a high onset potential (similar to 0.93 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode, vs. the RHE) and large kinetic current density (similar to 101 mA mg(-1) at 0.80 V vs. the RHE). Such novel carbon materials derived from the core-shell structured MOF also show better catalytic performance than those derived from both GO/ZIF-8 and GO/ZIF-67 prepared under the same conditions. This work offers an alternative strategy to develop MOF-derived carbon-based composites using GO/core-shell structured MOFs as a kind of fresh precursors.
