“…G-IIP-3 exhibits high adsorption capacity for Gd(III) (181.75 mg/g) and a short equilibrium time of 30 min, while still maintaining high selectivity even in the presence of interfering ions [ 82 ]. Zhao et al used a certain amount of ZrOCl 2 -8H 2 O, H 1 (1,2,4-benzenetricarboxylic acid), and H 2 (1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid) mixed at room temperature to obtain nanoporous metal–organic frameworks (UiO-66-H 1 /H 2 -a) with a high adsorption capacity of up to 150–250 mg/g for a wide range of rare-earth ions (including Sm (III), Eu (III), Gd (III), Tb (III), Dy (III), Ho (III), Er (III), Tm (III), and Yb (III)) [ 96 ]. Zr-O clusters all play a key role in the adsorption process of rare earths, which provides a new research idea for the application of Zr-O clusters in the synthesis of adsorbent materials.…”
