Vapor-phase film deposition of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) would facilitate the integration of these materials into electronic devices. In this study, we report the vapor-phase layer-by-layer deposition of zeolitic imidazolate framework 8 (ZIF-8) by consecutive, self-saturating reactions of diethyl zinc, water, and 2-methylimidazole on a substrate.
After obtaining his Master's degree in physics engineering, João worked as a junior research fellow at the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory. Now, he joins the Ameloot group to pursue a PhD.
Crystalline coordination polymers with high electrical conductivities and charge carrier mobilities might open new opportunities for electronic devices. However, current solvent-based synthesis
Rob is honored to receive the Laureate of the Academy Award from the Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Science and the Arts. Many thanks to the wonderful group members past and present for their
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) can provide a variety of nanocompartments for the confinement of guest molecules. Furthermore, the emissions of fluorescent molecules can be tuned by confinement. In
We welcome a new postdoc and Ph.D. student to the Amelootgroup! After completing his Ph.D. research at the University of Antwerp and VITO, Nick joins the group to unravel the synthesis and in-depth
In this paper, we report the development of a vapor-assisted synthesis method for the metal–organic framework (MOF) HKUST-1 in both powder and film format.
Composites formed by a metal–organic framework (MOF) and an ionic liquid (IL) are potentially interesting materials for applications ranging from gas separation to electrochemical devices.
