Thermal conductivity of a perovskite-type metal–organic framework crystal

Abstract

We report for the first time the investigation of thermal conductivity for a perovskite-type MOF crystal. In situ single crystal X-ray diffraction technology was employed to track the phase transition of a newly synthesized perovskite MOF. The perovskite MOF crystal exhibits a low thermal conductivity of 1.3 W (K m)^-1 in comparison to most of the bulk crystal materials at room temperature.
