A new acoustomicrofluidic method for synthesizing copper-based metal–organic frameworks is shown to yield novel large aspect ratio elongated crystal morphologies with high active metal site density on their surfaces, leading to enhanced conductivity.
One step synthesis of metal organic framework–polymer composites is achieved via emulsion templating approach which allows simultaneous MOF crystallization and polymerization of the internal phase of the emulsion.
We review the general principle of the design and functional modulation of nanoscaled MOF heterostructures, and biomedical applications in enhanced therapy.
