Electron-Driven Ag Migration and Interfacial Growth in ZIF-8/α-Ag2WO4 Heterostructures
Abstract ZIF-8/α-Ag2WO4 heterostructures were designed to investigate electron-driven Ag evolution at MOF–semiconductor interfaces. In situ electron microscopy revealed structural integration and preferential Ag nanoparticle growth on ZIF-8 under irradiation. Interfacial charge redistribution is proposed to mediate this process, offering opportunities for catalytic, sensing, and antimicrobial applications.
