Hydrophobic porous materials are potential candidates for energy storage. ZIF-8 and ZIF-71 were listed among the first candidates for storing mechanical energy by means of the pΔV work (p - pressure o
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have been developing at an unexpected rate over the last two decades. However, the unsatisfactory chemical stability of most MOFs hinders some of the fundamental studie
Despite numerous studies on chemical and thermal stability of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), mechanical stability remains largely undeveloped. To date, no strategy exists to control the mechanical d
The structural change and resilience of a single crystal of a metal–organic framework (MOF), Zn(HO3PC4H8PO3H)·2H2O (ZAG-4), was investigated under high pressures (0–9.9 GPa) using in situ single crys
Multiferroic materials which exhibit both ferroelectric and (anti)ferromagnetic ordering are of great technological importance offering the potential for the design of novel...
