Solvent-driven crystal-crystal transformation and morphology change in a 2D layered inorganic POM-based framework.

ABSTRACT: In this paper, a pure 2D inorganic POM-based framework underwent a single crystal to single crystal conversion when soaked in organic solvents that are miscible with water, forming a more densely packed identical framework accompanying the formation of nanowires. The change in morphology is closely related to the surface tension of water, and the lower surface tension achieved by dehydration promotes the formation of nanowires, which is revealed by SXRD, PXRD, SEM, TGA and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).
