Green synthesis of a functionalized zirconium-based metal-organic framework for water and ethanol adsorption

摘要: Aqueous synthesis of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) at room temperature offers many advantages such as reduction in the generation toxic byproducts and operation costs, well increased safety material’s production. Functional group-bearing MOFs have received growing attention compared to nonfunctionalized analogues due enhanced adsorption properties former cases. Here, we report an aqueous solution-based a robust zirconium MOF, UiO-66-NO2, temperature. We evaluated phase purity, porosity, thermal stability, particle morphology size resulting material. High uptake, near complete recyclability water ethanol vapor isotherms supports potential UiO-66-NO2 solid adsorbent adsorption-based cooling applications or harvesting systems.
