Fig. 3: Impact of electron dose on MOF growth.
From: Locally controlled MOF growth on functionalized carbon nanotubes
After synthesis scanning electron microscope images of (prior to the synthesis) electron irradiated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The MOF area is colored in blue, and the bare MWCNT area is colored in red. The irradiation doses are a D = 1000 μC cm−2, b D = 2000 μC cm−2, c D = 3000 μC cm−2, and d D = 5000 μC cm−2 all at Vacc = 6 kV. The higher the irradiation dose the stronger the MOF growth inhibition.
