Structural identification of multidimensional metal–organic frameworks using soft x‐ray tomography.

This paper mainly discusses the applicability of using soft x‐ray tomography technology to examine the multidimensional structure of metal–organic frameworks, such as their core‐shell and hollow framework, by visually observing their corresponding images in different energy bands by different excitation energies for different elements. The results show that the use of soft x‐ray tomography (SXT) can effectively observe the distribution of metals in the structure, as well as observe the type of hollow pores the metal–organic framework (MOF) possesses. This pioneering evaluation of MOFs via SXT shows excellent performance in the structure identification of multidimensional metal–organic frameworks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
