Fig. 2: Structural characterization, enthalpic responses, and cyclic Cp scan.
From: Ionic liquid facilitated melting of the metal-organic framework ZIF-8
a XRD patterns of ZIF-8, IL@ZIF-8 crystalline composite, ag(IL@ZIF-8-LT), and ag(IL@ZIF-8-HT) samples. Crystallographic data were taken from literature25. b FTIR spectra obtained for ZIF-8, IL, crystalline IL@ZIF-8 composite, ag(IL@ZIF-8-LT), and ag(IL@ZIF-8-HT). c DSC scans of ZIF-8, IL, IL@ZIF-8, and ag(IL@ZIF-8-HT) samples with a heating rate of 5 °C·min−1. Tm and Td are indicated as offset temperatures of the melting peak and onset temperature of decomposition of IL@ZIF-8, respectively. Tg is defined as the onset temperature of the glass transition feature of ag(IL@ZIF-8-HT). d Cyclic Cp scan of ag(IL@ZIF-8-HT) with heating and cooling rates of 20 °C·min−1.
