A liquid metal composite by ZIF-8 encapsulation
Yong Liu, Qian Wang, Jinqi Deng, Wei Zhang
Abstract
A new composite material positioning a liquid metal core within a zeolitic imidazolate framework shell is developed. The core-shell interactions along with the structure/properties of the composite material can be easily regulated by the ligand/metal ion ratio. Enhanced photothermal conversion of the liquid metal core is achieved after ZIF-8 encapsulation.
