Abstract
Nanosized metal–organic frameworks (nano-MOFs) have shown significant potential across diverse fields, while the challenge of achieving energy- and time-efficient scaling-up synthesis hampers their practical applications. This work presents a cost-effective colloid-milling method that enforces nucleation–growth separation during crystallization for the scalable synthesis of nano-MOFs under ambient conditions. Compared to the static method, the colloid-milling method not only greatly improves the production efficiency by 2 orders of magnitude but also produces smaller nano-MOFs with narrower size distribution that exhibit higher catalytic activity than the larger-sized ones. This work offers a promising option for the large-scale production of nano-MOFs.
期刊介绍:
ACS Materials Letters is a journal that publishes high-quality and urgent papers at the forefront of fundamental and applied research in the field of materials science. It aims to bridge the gap between materials and other disciplines such as chemistry, engineering, and biology. The journal encourages multidisciplinary and innovative research that addresses global challenges. Papers submitted to ACS Materials Letters should clearly demonstrate the need for rapid disclosure of key results. The journal is interested in various areas including the design, synthesis, characterization, and evaluation of emerging materials, understanding the relationships between structure, property, and performance, as well as developing materials for applications in energy, environment, biomedical, electronics, and catalysis. The journal has a 2-year impact factor of 11.4 and is dedicated to publishing transformative materials research with fast processing times. The editors and staff of ACS Materials Letters actively participate in major scientific conferences and engage closely with readers and authors. The journal also maintains an active presence on social media to provide authors with greater visibility.
