A strategy for breaking the MOF template to obtain small-sized and highly dispersive polyoxometalate clusters loaded on solid films

Abstract

A strategy was developed for the first time to fabricate highly dispersed and small-sized polyoxometalate nanoparticles loaded on a TiO₂ film by using MIL-101 to prevent agglomeration, and calcination to break the metal–organic framework, which can result in performance improvement of quantum dot solar cells.
