Outline of Final Research Achievements

Thin films of porous materials are of great interest for various applications such as separation, storage, electronics and photonics. It has long been expected a pore alignment in a large scales exceeding cm-scale. However, the formation of thin films with alignment of pores remains a significant challenge especially for microporous crystalline materials including zeolite and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). In the present study, we succeeded to achieve perfectly oriented MOF films on the cm-scale using metal hydroxides as a substrate. Optical devises with anisotropic properties could be fabricated by impregnating functional molecules into the aligned micropores of the oriented MOF film. The details are described in [Nature Mater., 2017, 16, 342.]
