A new approach for the facile preparation of metal-organic framework composites directly contacting with metal nanoparticles through arc plasma deposition.
The arc plasma deposition (APD) method is first applied to prepare metal-organic framework (MOF) composites loading metal nanoparticles having a direct contact with the MOF. We demonstrate the detailed growth mechanism of metal particles on the MOFs and the applicability of the APD for various combinations of metals and MOFs.
