Peptide-Mediated Synthesis of Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-8: Effect of Molecular Hydrophobicity, Charge Number and Charge Location

Three amphiphilic peptides with varied molecular hydrophobicity, charge number and charge location have been designed as regulators to modulate the crystal growth of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8). All three peptides can interact with ZIF-8 to inhibit {100} facet growth and produce truncat...
