Elaboration and properties of hierarchically structured optical thin films of MIL-101(Cr)

Aude Demessence, Patricia Horcajada, Christian Serre, Cédric Boissière, David Grosso, Clément Sanchez and Gérard Férey


Stable nanoparticles dispersions of the porous hybrid MIL-101(Cr) allow dip-coating of high quality optical thin films with dual hierarchical porous structure. Moreover, for the first time, mechanical and sorption properties of mesoporous MOFs based thin films are evaluated.
