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

Quantum dots (QDs) are semiconducting nanocrystals with unique optical and electronic properties that make them highly desirable for a variety of applications. However, their full potential can be further leveraged by modifying their surfaces to achieve specific functionalities. Surface modification allows for the binding of functional groups or li
