Electric Field Assisted Dynamic MOF alignment and Crystal Assembly
Despite the staggering number of reports on Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), we are still greatly limited in our ability to manipulate colloidal MOF particles and control MOF orientation. Reliable control of MOF crystal orientation is extremely important as the properties and functionality of most MOFs are highly dependent upon crystallographic direction due to lattice anisotropy. However, the effective exploitation of such functionality remains frustratingly out of reach. Based on the novel concept of exploiting MOF anisotropic ion mobility and polarizability, DYNAMOF aims to establish a flexible toolbox of methods for both dynamic and static control over the orientation, alignment and…
