Fig. 5: Mechanochemical synthesis and characterization of Cu-BTC MOFs.

A PXRD patterns of Cu-BTC-P-1 obtained at different milling durations, showing optimal crystallinity at 1 h. B PXRD comparison of Cu-BTC-M and Cu-BTC-P-X samples synthesized mechanochemically, indicating structural retention consistent with simulated Cu-BTC. Reproduced from ref. 85.
