For some MOFs polymorphs can form a challenge on the synthesis outcome. In this work, we demonstrate a template-mediated MOF-CVD method controlling polymorphism.
A beautiful illustration of our research on nanoscale lithography of metal-organic frameworks made the cover of the January 2021 issue of Nature Materials.
Alex is awarded the 2020 Park Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) Scholarship in recognition of excellence in nanoscience research, with AFM as one of the main techniques.
After clinching one of two spots in the Belgian National finals last September, Alex is off the international stage to showcase MOF materials as of the finalists for Science Breakthroughs of the Year.
João was awarded his PhD after successfully completing the public defense of his thesis entitled "Understanding and utilizing linker mobility in metal-organic frameworks".
Alex won the people's choice award in the 2020 edition of Falling Walls Lab on 28th September at Kinepolis Leuven. He is one of the two national finalists who will represent Belgium in the
Nanoscale patterning is a fundamental step to implement MOFs in miniaturized solid-state devices. We developed a resist-free, direct X-ray and electron-beam lithography process to pattern MOFs, which overcoming several drawbacks while maintaining the porosity and crystallinity.
