Studying ZIF-8 SURMOF Thin Films with a Langatate Crystal Microbalance: Single-Component Gas Adsorption Isotherms Measured at Elevated Temperatures and Pressures.

Characterizing the adsorption behavior of thin films at technical operation ranges is highly relevant in order to obtain appropriate experimental parameters, as well as to evaluate their possible integration in multiple applications. Nonetheless, gathering such experimental data is not a trivial task. In the case of metal-organic framework thin films, a particular interesting class of highly porous coatings, determination of adsorption isotherms at elevated temperatures and pressures is not commonly reported.
