Engineering of Zirconium based metal-organic frameworks (Zr-MOFs) as efficient adsorbents

Synthesis and characterizations of YZ-BDC:Eu3+,Tb3+ nanothermometers for luminescence-based temperature sensing

“…The high charge density, bond polarization as well as strong affinity make this material stable not only in water and organic solvents, but even in acidic aqueous solutions. 16,17 Unfortunately, many types of Zr-MOFs formed by zirconium-carboxylate linkers are characterized by sizes in the range of tens of nm to tens of μm. These include UiO-66, MOF 804, MIL-140A, Zr-ABDC, etc.…”

“…These include UiO-66, MOF 804, MIL-140A, Zr-ABDC, etc. 16–21 However, for many applications, especially biomedical applications such as temperature sensing and imaging, the size of Zr-MOF thermometers must be reduced to the nanoscale. 22 One of the most effective solutions to reduce the size of these thermometers is to use an appropriate amount of H 2 BDC and adjust the pH of the zirconium carboxylate precursor solutions, as well as to conduct microwave-assisted hydrothermal reactions.…”

Reactive Chlorine Capture by Dichlorination of Alkene Linkers in Metal–Organic Frameworks

“…28 Like other Zrbased MOFs, the strong Zr-O bonds in this framework lend it remarkable chemical stability towards ambient air, water, and corrosive gases. 24,29 In addition, Zr-fum possesses a high density of accessible alkene sites for potential dichlorination. Combined with its scalable synthesis from inexpensive, easily accessible materials, these properties make Zr-fum a promising candidate for irreversible Cl2 capture.…”

Fast catalytic transfer hydrogenation of phenol to cyclohexanol over urea modified Ni@CN nanoparticles

“…39 Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), consisting of metals and organic ligands, are a newly discovered class of porous materials with the characteristics of adjustable structure and tunable components. [40][41][42] They have been applied in many fields owing to their large specific surface area, large apertures and excellent stability, such as catalysis, 17,[43][44][45] electrode materials, [46][47][48] adsorbents, 49,50 storage and separation of mixed gases. 51,52 In addition, one of the most important applications of MOF materials is that they could be used as sacrificial templates to synthesize carbon-based materials through direct pyrolysis under an inert atmosphere.…”
