The critical dose of {110} Bragg plane was also measured from the relative displacement by 37% and compared with the critical dose measured using relative intensity fading. Measuring the critical electron doses for different crystal planes and their relative displacement provides insights into the sequential loss in ZIF-8's crystallinity as a function of cumulated electron dose. It allows us to elucidate the underlying damage mechanism. The critical dose obtained from the ED studies was confirmed in a high-resolution TEM (HRTEM) experiment showing lattice fringes in an HRTEM image of a ZIF-8 particle.
