Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) glass is a versatile and processible
material that retains its porous nature while transitioning between
liquid and solid states. Incorporating composites into MOF glass can
enhance its functionalities, but the effect on its state conversion
remains understudied. This research explores the impact of silver ions
on the properties of ZIF-62 glass, revealing their influence on phase
conversion at varying ligand concentrations. The presence of silver
enhances gas separation processes, particularly improving
CO2 and hydrocarbon separation selectivity compared to
pure ZIF-62 glass. These findings provide valuable insights for
composite integration and highlight the potential of Ag-doped ZIF-62
glass in gas separation applications. Furthermore, this work paves the
way for processing functional Ag-doped ZIF-62 glass films, enabling
diverse applications such as gas separation, film catalysis, and
antimicrobial glass.
