3.2. AgZIF-62 thermal and melting behaviour
The thermal decomposition behaviour of materials is an important property to be studied for glass-related research. This is because a number of ZIFs and MOFs such as ZIF-8 and ZIF-7 have a much higher melting point as compared to their decomposition point.[29] This leads to the material not being able to melt before being decomposed. Thus, it is important to measure the thermal decomposition of AgZIF-62 variants to ensure that the decomposition temperature lies above the typical ZIF-62 melting temperature to ensure minimal decomposition from occurring during melting.
