Abstract:
A novel dissolution-crystallization-attachment strategy was developed to synthesize urchin-shaped superstructure metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with self-assembled one-dimensional nanorods. The superstructure MOFs not only inherited the high activity of nanosized MOFs but also displayed the high stability of microsized MOFs.
