Untwisted restacking of two-dimensional metal-organic framework nanosheets for highly selective isomer separations
Abstract
Metal-organic framework nanosheets are promising for separations, but interactions among them, affecting the performance, are largely unexplored. The authors reveal the favored stacking modes in a model system, and that untwisted restacking by thermal treatment improves isomer separation performance in gas chromatography capillary columns.
