Scalable Room‐Temperature Conversion of Copper(II) Hydroxide into HKUST‐1 (Cu₃(btc)₂)

Abstract

Copper(II) hydroxide is converted directly to HKUST-1 (Cu(3) (btc)(2) ) after only 5 min at room-temperature in aqueous ethanolic solution without the need of additional solvents. Scale up to the kilogram scale does not influence porous properties yielding pure-phase product with a remarkable total surface area exceeding 1700 m(2) g(-1) featuring aggregates of nanometer-sized crystals (<600 nm) and extremely high space-time yields.

General incorporation of diverse components inside metal-organic framework thin films at room temperature

“…The nanofibrous MHN porous networks not only serve as the metal source but also firmly confine the functional species during MOF growth. Our recent work confirmed that MHN thin films can be rapidly converted to MOF thin films through an outside-inner growth process involving immersion in an organic ligand solution at room temperature 10 , similar to the conversion of copper hydroxide NPs to HKUST-1 crystals at room temperature 48 . The initial outer MOF layer prohibits escape of the pre-embedded functional component significantly, there is no limitation of the size, dimensions and shape, or classification of the encapsulated functional components, which can be ions, nanoparticles, polystyrene (PS) spheres with sizes ranging from less than 1 nm to several micrometres, one-dimensional single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), bioactive proteins or micrometre-sized PS spheres.…”

Fe3O4@HKUST-1 and Pd/Fe3O4@HKUST-1 as magnetically recyclable catalysts prepared via conversion from a Cu-based ceramic

“…This conclusion is supported by previous studies into converting other Cu-based ceramics into HKUST-1. 45,46,57 In order to gain further insights into the growth of the HKUST-1 crystals, in situ small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) measurements were conducted at the Australian Synchrotron. For these measurements, the Cu-based precursor materials were placed in a capillary with the mixed solution of EtOH and water, followed by the controlled addition of the alcoholic solution containing the H 3 BTC linker using a syringe.…”

The Metal–Organic Framework MIL‐53(Al) Constructed from Multiple Metal Sources: Alumina, Aluminum Hydroxide, and Boehmite

“…[8] For example, Majano et al [9] were the first to synthesize HKUST-1 [Cu 3 (BTC) 2 ] (BTC = benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate) with copper hydroxide as the precursor. The conversion of Cu(OH) 2 into HKUST-1 could be carried out at room temperature and is suitable for large-scale production.…”
