Abstract
Strain analysis of the MOF and its composites using high-resolution X-ray diffractionmeter (XRD) was carried out and the presence of non-uniform, depth-related strain in the MOF crystals was confirmed. Further analysis showed that the magnitude and distribution of strain in MOF crystals can be tuned with the incorporation of nanoparticles (NPs). Moreover, the spatial controlled structures can also optimize functionalities of the NPs@MOF, which was exemplified by their applications on the catalytic reduction of nitroarenes. It is anticipated that the investigation of MOF structure evolution through controlling the architectures of the MOF/NPs hybrid materials will shed a light on the study of optimizing the mechanical and chemical properties of MOF composites.
