An Atomic-Level Bimetallic MOF Platform Overcoming the Stability-Performance Tradeoff for Laser Propulsion. [PDF]

Adv Mater
This work introduces an atomic‐level engineered bimetallic MOF Platform that resolves the inherent trade‐off between environmental stability and propulsion efficiency. By integrating robust Fe‐O bonds for hydrolysis resistance and enabling d‐orbital charge transfer (Fe3+→Cu2+) for enhanced photothermal conversion, the design achieves a highly durable ...
