Secondary growth of ZIF-8 films onto copper-based foils. Insight into surface interactions

One-step synthesis of nanostructured mesoporous ZIF-8/silica composites

“…In the zinc region (Fig. 2c), two peaks are observed at 1021.7 eV (Zn 2p3/2) and 1044.7 eV (Zn 2p1/2), respectively, which is compatible with Zn 2+ M A N U S C R I P T A C C E P T E D ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 6 of the ZIF-8 structure as seen in crystals of this MOF [32].…”

Adsorption mechanism on metal organic frameworks of Cu-BTC, Fe-BTC and ZIF-8 for CO2 capture investigated by X-ray absorption fine structure

“…On the other hand, multiple characterization means such as X-ray diffraction (XRD) [14][15][16][17], scanning electron microscope (SEM) [18][19][20] and X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) [17,21,22], have been utilized to understand the so-called "structure-activity" relationship in MOFs. Among them, XAFS is a powerful tool to detect the electronic structure and local chemistry of metals in MOFs.…”

Post‐Synthetic Modification of ZIF‐8 Crystals and Films through UV Light Photoirradiation: Impact on the Physicochemical Behavior of the MOF

“…XPS spectra measured on ZIF‐8 films were analogous those of crystals, in addition to a faint signal of the Cu 2p doublet (Figure S1). This later signal is due to Cu + species which come from a partial dissolution of the substrate during synthesis . In relation to this, the O 1s region (Figure b) could only be properly solved by adjusting two components, one at 532.0 eV ascribed to oxygen usually found in ZIF‐8 and another at a lower BE that agreed with the presence of oxygen from oxides in line with a minimum amount of copper oxide on the surface of the films (Table ).…”
