Water intrusion–extrusion experiments in ZIF-8: impacts of the shape and particle size on the energetic performances†
Abstract
The energetic performances of “ZIF-8–water” systems were evaluated using intrusion–extrusion of water under high pressure. Depending on the shape (spherical, cubic or rhombic dodecahedron) as well as the crystallite size (nanometric or micrometric scale), the energetic behaviour of the “ZIF-8–water” system can be modified.
