UiO-66 metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can be endowed with greatly enhanced photocatalytic properties by introducing titanium into the frameworks. A microwave-assisted method was developed to substitute the zirconium with titanium in UiO-66, which was accomplished within a few hours compared to several days reported previously, with the crystallinity well maintained and photocatalytic activities tremendously improved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
