Size and morphology control over MOF-74 crystals

uptake capacity. By varying these fabrication parameters and modulators, the morphology and size of crystals can be precisely tuned in the nanometer to micrometer range. Particularly, the nanosized flaky Mg-MOF-74 crystals with an aspect ratio of ∼0.5 were synthesized for the first time by varying the amount of water. The MOF-74 crystals with different size and morphologies are good candidates for more advanced applications favored by crystal size and morphology control.
