In this paper, we demonstrate the fabrication of optical-grade agZIF-62(Zn), and its liquid-state processing into micro-optical components. Thus far, a hindering issue for progress in the optical utilization of agZIF-62(Zn) was the quality of the starting MOF or ZIF precursors and their processed glasses, which led to issues in optical purity, spatial homogeneity, and achievable specimen size. For example, this includes thermal degradation, phase evolution, and gas uptake during extensive re-melting. . In some cases, MOF melting and glass formation are mediated by auxiliary materials such as ionic liquids; unfortunately, these mediating agents and their decomposition or reaction products again contaminate the final glass, leading to similarly degraded optical quality and, additionally, reduced pore accessibility.
