Porous Materials: Copper Conversion into Cu(OH)₂ Nanotubes for Positioning Cu₃(BTC)₂ MOF Crystals: Controlling the Growth on Flat Plates, 3D Architectures, and as Patterns (Adv. Funct. Mater. 14/2014)

A robust superhydrophobic and superoleophilic SA-HKUST-1 membrane for efficient oil/water mixture separation

“…2m and n show that increasing the reaction time had no significant influence on the crystal size. The above three stages were consistent with three different main contributions to the MOF growth: pseudomorphic transformation, crystal growth and Ostwald ripening proposed by Okada et al 50 The surface of HKUST-1-CM was uniformly covered with layers of stacked crystals (Fig. 2c and g).…”

A Chemical Route to Activation of Open Metal Sites in the Copper-Based Metal–Organic Framework Materials HKUST-1 and Cu-MOF-2

“…To test the feasibility of the MC treatment, we synthesized HKUST-1 film on metallic Cu substrate via an oxidation reaction (see Figures 7a, 7b, and 7c). 59 Whereas the color of the assynthesized HKUST-1 film was sky blue, its color changed to dark blue after the MC treatment (see Figure 7d). In agreement with the results obtained from powder samples, the chemical activation process could completely remove the coordinated EtOH from the film (Figures 7e and 7f) and simultaneously preserve its framework well (Figures 7g and 7h).…”

MOFs for Ultrahigh Efficiency Pulsed Laser Micropropulsion

“…Comparisons were made with other materials reported in the literature, demonstrating that our laser ablation efficiency reached 51.15%, surpassing similar materials previously documented. [55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68] These findings highlight the potential of MOFs as promising propellants for LMP technology (Figure 4D and Table S7, Supporting Information). By fine-tuning the metal mass fraction and optimizing the MOF composition, even higher LMP efficiencies could be achieved, opening up new avenues for future research and application in laser propulsion.…”
