Nanomechanical behavior and interfacial deformation beyond the elastic limit in 2D metal-organic framework nanosheets.

ABSTRACT: Nanoscale mechanical property measurements of nanoporous nanosheets face many challenges. Herein we show atomic force microscope (AFM)-based nanoindentation to probe the nanoscale mechanical properties of a 2-D metal-organic framework (MOF) nanosheet material containing atomic-sized pores, termed CuBDC [copper 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate]. The sample thickness ranged from ∼10 nm (tens of monolayers) up to ∼400 nm (a stack of multilayers). In terms of its elastic-plastic properties, the Young's modulus (E ∼ 23 GPa) and yield strength (σ _y ∼ 450 MPa) were determined in the through-thickness direction. Moreover, we characterized the failure mechanisms of the CuBDC nanosheets, where three failure mechanisms were identified: interfacial slippage, fracture of the fra
