Regulating thermal dynamics and gas transport of metal‐oraganic framework glass through silver composites

Abstract

Metal–organic framework (MOF) glass is a versatile and processible material that retains its porous nature while transitioning between liquid and solid states. Incorporating composites into MOF glass can enhance its functionalities, but the effect of the added material on the solid–liquid phase transition of MOF glass remains understudied. This research explores the impact of silver ions on the properties of ZIF‐62 glass, revealing their influence on phase conversion at varying ligand concentrations. The presence of silver enhances gas separation processes, particularly improving CO2 and hydrocarbon separation selectivity compared to pure ZIF‐62 glass. These findings provide valuable insights for composite integration and highlight the potential of AgZIF‐62 glass in gas separation applications. Furthermore, this work paves the way for processing functional AgZIF‐62 glass films, enabling diverse applications such as gas separation, film catalysis, and antimicrobial glass.
