Fig. 3: Epitaxial relationship between CuFe PBA and HKUST-1.
From: Epitaxial growth of metal-organic framework nanosheets into single-crystalline orthogonal arrays
a (110) plane and b (001) plane of HKUST-1. The green, red, gray, white and yellow balls in (a) and (b) represent Cu, O, C, N and Fe atoms, respectively. The red lines and black lines in (b) represent the (1\(\bar{1}\bar{1}\)) and (\(\bar{1}\)1\(\bar{2}\)) planes of CuFe PBA, respectively. c Scheme of the type I grown on (001) plane of HKUST-1. d Scheme of the type II grown on (001) plane of HKUST-1. e Top view of crystal structure showing (110) of CuFe PBA. f Top view of crystal structure showing (1\(\bar{1}\)2) of CuFe PBA. HKUST-1 and CuFe PBA are marked by green and red color, respectively. g Illustration of the epitaxy relationship between CuFe PBA and HKUST-1. The green, red, and blue dots in (g) represent the lattice points of (001) plane of HKUST-1, (110) and (1\(\bar{1}\)2) planes of CuFe PBA, respectively.
