Controlling the Orientation of cMOF Nanofilms

Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Process Engineering (IPE) and Kyoto University have suggested an approach for growing ‘face-on’ and ‘edge-on’ conductive metal-organic frameworks (cMOF) nanofilms on substrates by controlling the “stand-up” behaviors of ligands on various surfaces to circumvent the difficulty in such film orientation control.
