Structure-Property Relationship of Piezoelectric Properties in Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks: A Computational Study

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of nanoporous crystalline materials with very high structural tunability. They possess a very low dielectric permittivity ϵr due to their porosity and hence are favorable for piezoelectric energy harvesting. Even though they have huge potential as piezoelectric materials, a detailed analysis and...
