调控强活性位点的智能光响应CO2吸附剂

光响应CO₂吸附剂能够通过外部光照的方式有效调节其捕获CO₂的能力，在吸附过程中具有可控性好和能源利用效率高的优势.然而目前报道的光响应CO₂吸附剂主要用于对弱吸附位点的调控，对强吸附位点的调控仍然是一项具有挑战性的任务.本工作构筑了一种光响应智能吸附剂，实现了对CO₂强吸附位点的光响应调控.吸附剂的构筑通过将具有顺反异构体的偶氮苯衍生物和含有伯胺的硅烷偶联剂引入介孔氧化硅实现.光照前偶氮苯处于反式构型，导致伯胺的静电势降低，充分暴露活性位；光照后偶氮苯转变为顺式构型，导致伯胺静电势的增加以及活性位点的遮蔽.吸附量在两种状态下的变化率能够达到43%，并且这一调节过程是可逆的.偶氮苯在不同构型下对伯胺的静电势产生了差异化的影响，从而实现了对吸附能力的调控.

可见光驱动Ag3PO4催化降解罗丹明B和甲基橙

采用简易离子交换法制备可见光驱动Ag3PO4光催化剂.通过X射线衍射、场发射扫描电子显微镜、N2吸附-脱附、紫外-可见漫反射光谱及傅里叶变换红外光谱对所制备的Ag3PO4催化剂进行表征.结果表明,在可见光照射下,Ag3PO4催化剂对罗丹明B降解表现出优越的光催化活性,但对甲基橙的降解活性低,这归因于Ag3PO4催化剂对甲基橙分子吸附量低.可见光照Ag3PO4反应体系中,空穴和超氧自由基共同发挥作用导致罗丹明B和甲基橙光催化降解.在罗丹明B的协助作用下,Ag3PO4催化剂对甲基橙的可见光催化降解活性大大增强,这是由于罗丹明B的存在可产生更多的超氧自由基,从而使甲基橙进一步降解.

Zr-Based MOFs with High Drug Loading for Adsorption Removal of Anti-Cancer Drugs: A Potential Drug Storage

A robust and highly water stable series of UiO-66-drived MOFs including UiO-66-NH₂, glycidyl methacrylate functionalized UiO-66-NH₂ (UiO-66-GMA) and ethylenediamine functionalized UiO-66-NH₂ (UiO-66-EDA) were synthesized solvothermally and studied their adsorption performances toward two anti-cancer drugs, methotrexate (MTX) and curcumin (CUR) in the case of overdose. It was found that functionalizing the surface of UiO-66-NH₂ nanoparticles with different functional groups remarkably changes the adsorption capacity and the ideal adsorption selectivity of MTX over CUR. Particularly, the UiO-66-EDA exhibited the highest adsorption capacities for both drugs, 540.78 and 423.85 mg/g for MTX and CUR, respectively, because of the strong interaction between drug molecules and adsorbent via hydrogen bonding due to the existence of different polar functional groups. The kinetics of drugs adsorption was investigated by three well-known kinetic models, which the output indicates that the adsorption of both drugs onto the synthesized MOFs follow the pseudo-second-order model. Moreover, it was found that the equilibrium adsorption results were well fitted with the Langmuir isotherm models, revealing that the adsorption of both drugs onto the synthesized MOFs is a monolayer adsorption process. Further investigation illustrated that the synthesized MOFs could be easily activated and reused after four successive adsorption–desorption cycles. The output of the present work is of main important for biomedical and environmental applications of MOFs as an outstanding adsorbent for adsorption removal of hazardous drugs from contaminated aqueous solutions.     

Unusual chain length dependent adsorption of linear and branched alkanes on UiO-66

In this work, the zero coverage adsorption properties of C₅–C₁₀ n- and iso-alkanes on the UiO-66, UiO-66-Me and UiO-66-NO₂ metal–organic frameworks are studied by gas phase pulse chromatography. Analysis of enthalpy values, entropy values, Gibbs free energies and Henry constants reveals unusual chain length dependent adsorption behaviour of linear and branched alkanes, caused by the complex structure of the zirconium metal–organic framework UiO-66. The UiO-66 structure consists of a small, tetrahedral and large, octahedral cage. It is shown that at specific carbon chain lengths (e.g. C₆–C₇ for n-alkanes), distinctive jumps in adsorption enthalpy, entropy values and Henry constants occur. This chain length dependent effect is even more pronounced for 2- and 3-methyl alkanes and double branched alkanes. This distinctive shift in adsorption behaviour occurs at a molecular size that coincides with the cavity dimensions of the smallest, tetrahedral cage. The resulting selective adsorption arises from confinement effects and is function of both the molecular shape and size.     

Chitosan/UiO-66 composites as high-performance adsorbents for the removal of methyl orange in aqueous solution

UiO-66 and chitosan/UiO-66 composites were successfully synthesized by varying the mass addition of chitosan which were 0%, 2.5%, 5%, 10%, and 20% of the mass of UiO-66, denoted as UiO-66, Cs(2.5)/UiO-66, Cs(5)/UiO-66, Cs(10)/UiO-66, and Cs(20)/UiO-66, respectively. UiO-66 was modified with chitosan using the impregnation process. The X-ray diffraction patterns of the synthesized materials showed characteristic peaks at 2θ of 7.25° and 8.39°, which matched to that of the reported UiO-66. In addition, the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy spectra of the materials showed absorption bands at the same wavenumber as UiO-66 and chitosan previously reported. The surface morphology of UiO-66 observed from scanning electron microscopy images was in the form of agglomerated small cube particles, where the smaller particles were observed for Cs(10)/UiO-66. From the N₂ adsorption isotherms, it was found that the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface areas of UiO-66, Cs(5)/UiO-66, and Cs(10)/UiO-66 materials were 825.7 m²/g, 835.4 m²/g, and 882.2 m²/g, respectively. The results of the study on adsorption of methyl orange in aqueous solutions showed that Cs(5)/UiO-66 had the highest adsorption capacity of 370.37 mg/g and followed the pseudo–second-order adsorption kinetic with a Langmuir isotherm model.     

The Influence of UiO-66 Metal–Organic Framework Structural Defects on Adsorption and Separation of Hexane Isomers

In this work, adsorption properties of the UiO-66 metal–organic framework were investigated, with particular emphasis on the influence of structural defects. A series of UiO-66 samples were synthesized and characterized using a wide range of experimental techniques. Type I adsorption isotherms for low-temperature adsorption of N₂ and Ar showed that micropore volume and specific surface area significantly increase with the number of defects. Adsorption of hexane isomers in UiO-66 was studied by means of quasi-equilibrated temperature-programmed desorption and adsorption (QE-TPDA) experimental and Monte Carlo simulation techniques. QE-TPDA profiles revealed that only defect-free UiO-66 exhibits distinct two adsorption states. This technique also yielded high-quality adsorption isobars that were successfully recreated using Grand-Canonical Monte Carlo molecular simulations, which, however, required refinement of the existing force fields. The calculations demonstrated the detailed mechanism of adsorption and separation of hexane isomers in the UiO-66 structure. The preferred tetrahedral cages provide suitable voids for bulky molecules, which is the reason for unusual “reverse” selectivity of UiO-66 towards di-branched alkanes. Interconnection of the tetrahedral cavities due to missing organic linkers greatly reduces the selectivity of the defected material.     

Synergy of photocatalytic reduction and adsorption for boosting uranium removal with PMo12/UiO-66 heterojunction

In this work, we proposed a new U(VI) removal strategy combining adsorption and photocatalytic reduction by the PMo₁₂/UiO-66 heterojunctions. The PMo₁₂ has been encapsulated in the cavities of UiO-66 by a one-step hydrothermal method, and the PMo₁₂/UiO-66 exhibited high adsorption capacity and photocatalytic activity. The maximal theoretical sorption capacity of U(VI) on 15% PMo₁₂/UiO-66 reached 225.36 mg/g and the photoreduction rate of 15% PMo₁₂/UiO-66 is about thirty times as much as UiO-66. Under the light irradiation, the photogenerated electrons rapidly transport from UiO-66 to PMo₁₂, and the photo-generated electrons could efficiently reduce the pre-enriched U(VI) to U(IV). This work provides new insights into remediation of the radioactive environment.     

Tailoring the Asymmetric Structure of NH2-UiO-66 Metal-Organic Frameworks for Light-promoted Selective and Efficient Gold Extraction and Separation

Designing adsorption materials with high adsorption capacities and selectivities is highly desirable for precious metal recovery. Desorption performance is also particularly crucial for subsequent precious metal recovery and adsorbent regeneration. Herein, a metal–organic framework (MOF) material (NH₂-UiO-66) with an asymmetric electronic structure of the central zirconium oxygen cluster has an exceptional gold extraction capacity of 2.04 g g⁻¹ under light irradiation. The selectivity of NH₂-UiO-66 for gold ions is up to 98.8 % in the presence of interfering ions. Interestingly, the gold ions adsorbed on the surface of NH₂-UiO-66 spontaneously reduce in situ, undergo nucleation and growth and finally achieve the phase separation of high-purity gold particles from NH₂-UiO-66. The desorption and separation efficiency of gold particles from the adsorbent surface reaches 89 %. Theoretical calculations indicate that -NH₂ functions as a dual donor of electrons and protons, and the asymmetric structure of NH₂-UiO-66 leads to energetically advantageous multinuclear gold capture and desorption. This adsorption material can greatly facilitate the recovery of gold from wastewater and can easily realize the recycling of the adsorbent.     

Preparation of piperazine-grafted amine-functionalized UiO-66 metal organic framework and its application for CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> over CH<Subscript>4</Subscript> separation

UiO-66 amine functionalized was synthesized by solvothermal method. Post-synthetic modification of UiO-66-NH₂ with piperazine, a known promoter to enhance the chemisorption rate of CO₂ uptake, was carried out and analyzed to understand its crystalline structure, morphology and porous structure. Results show that piperazine is an effective agent for enhancing the capacity of absorption of CO₂. This porous product exhibits an improved CO₂ uptake at pressures up to 3000 kPa via physisorption and chemisorption mechanisms. The CH₄ adsorption and desorption isotherms on UiO-66, UiO-66-NH₂ and pip-UiO-66-NH₂ at temperature of 298.15 K and pressures ranging from 0 to 5000 kPa were carried out. IAS theory for a mixture of 0.05 bar CO₂, 0.85 bar CH₄ and 0.1 bar other gas revealed a selectivity factor of 19.09 for CO₂/CH₄ from pip-UiO-66-NH₂. Results show that these materials are effective adsorbents for CO₂ and CH₄ uptakes.     

Synergetic effect of ZnIn2S4 nanosheets with metal-organic framework molding heterostructure for efficient visible- light driven photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI)

The photocatalytic reduction of toxic Cr(VI), to green Cr(III) by visible light, is highly required. Metal-organic frameworks have been waged more and more devotion in the field of environmental remediation. Diversification along with functionalization is still thought-provoking and crucial for the progress of metal-organic framework (MOF)-based high activity materials. Herein, a succession of UiO-66-NH₂@ZnIn₂S₄ composites with varying amount of UiO-66-NH₂ is prepared by the facile solvothermal technique. Synergetic effect for Cr(VI) reduction is assessed under the influence of visible light (λ > 420 nm). UiO-66-NH₂ octahedron is detained by ZnIn₂S₄ nanoflakes. The obvious enhancement in activity is observed which is credited to the well-suited energy band construction and close interaction between the interface of ZnIn₂S₄ and UiO-66-NH₂, which leads to effective transfer and separation of photogenerated carriers. Synergistic effect could be evidently understood from the PL and UV -spectroscopy, after molding into heterostructure of UiO-66-NH₂@ZnIn₂S₄. In addition, UiO-66-NH₂@ZnIn₂S₄ composites exhibited good stability in photocatalytic reduction. Consequently, this UiO-66-NH₂ constructed composite has high potential in the field of environmental remediation.
