Summary:Highly monodisperse metal-organic framework (MOF) hollow nanospheres have been rationally synthesized using monodisperse polystyrene (PS) nanoparticles as templates through a versatile step-by-step self-assembly strategy. The structure and composition of the hollow MOF-based nanostructures could be facilely tuned by choosing different framework building blocks ( i.e. metal ions and polyfunctional organic ligands) and the hollow MOF shell thickness could also be easily controlled by tuning the number of growth cycles of the PS@MOF core-shell structures. Highly monodisperse metal-organic framework (MOF) hollow nanospheres have been rationally synthesized using monodisperse polystyrene (PS) nanoparticles as templates through a versatile step-by-step self-assembly strategy.
