Abstrakt: Metallic nanoparticles (NPs) were decorated onto Zn-MOF-74 crystals by photoreducing different metal precursors (Pt, Au, and Ag) using ultraviolet (UV) light in an aqueous solution with different metal concentrations without using additional stabilizers. X-ray diffraction revealed the three-dimensional structural integrity and crystallinity conservation of Zn-MOF-74 crystals during the UV decoration process. Raman spectroscopy showed a minor rearrangement in the structure of the Zn-MOF-74 crystal surface after NP decoration. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed the metal oxidation states of Zn and NPs. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy images proved the surface decoration of Zn-MOF-74 crystals with spherical metallic NPs with diameters between 2.4 and 9.8 nm.
