Figure 2
(a)–(e) SEM images showing the MOF particles produced from a series of solvothermal reactions in the presence of various amounts of H2BDC: (a) 0.18, (b) 0.36, (c) 0.54, (d) 1.08 and (e) 1.62 mmol, while maintaining the same amount of Zn(NO3)2 at 0.54 mmol. Simulated PXRD patterns of (f) 3D-C-MOF (MOF-5) and (l) 2D-L-MOF. (g)–(k) PXRD patterns of the MOF particles produced from a series of solvothermal reactions in the presence of various amounts of H2BDC: (g) 0.18, (h) 0.36, (i) 0.54, (j) 1.08 and (k) 1.62 mmol. |
