Caption

A graphic illustrating the synthesis method that begins with oxide-covered aluminum nanocrystals (top left) and ends with the nanocrystal encased in metal-organic framework (MOF). The MOF self-assembles around the particle when the oxide partially dissolves, releasing aluminum ions that bind with organic linkers to form a 3D framework. (Image courtesy of LANP/Rice University)
