Puntos clave

This research aims to understand how different modulators affect the formation of UiO-66 nanocrystals.
Used Zr6O4(OH)4(O2C-t-Bu)12 as a precursor for nanocrystal synthesis.
Applied hot injection synthesis method to create UiO-66 nanocrystals.
Utilized in situ dynamic light scattering (DLS) to measure crystal growth.
Generated UiO-66 nanocrystals with sizes ranging from 19 to 186 nm.
Achieved a size distribution with standard deviation (σ) between 10% and 30%.
Dynamic light scattering revealed insights into nucleation and growth processes.

Resumen

Pure Zr6O4(OH)4(O2C-t-Bu)12 (Zr6-Pivalate) is used to prepare UiO-66 nanocrystals (d = 19–186 nm, σ = 10–30%) in a hot injection synthesis. In situ dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements show that...
