Project description:A series of Zr-sulfonic-based metal-organic frameworks have been synthesized by the solvothermal method, namely VNU-17 and VNU-23. Particularly, VNU-17 and VNU-23 adopt the sulfonate group (SO3 -) moieties densely packed within their structure, which can efficiently uptake MB+ from wastewater. The maximum adsorption capacity for MB+ onto VNU-23 is up to 1992 mg g-1 at pH = 7, which is more than five times that of activated carbon and possesses the highest value among all the reported MOF materials. In addition, VNU-23 retains the adsorption uptake of MB for at least five cycles. The adsorption isotherms and kinetic studies reveal that MB+ dye adsorption onto VNU-23 fits a Langmuir isotherm and the pseudo second order kinetic model. Furthermore, the ultra-high adsorption capacity of VNU-23 for MB dye can be accounted for by the suitable pore/channel size together with electrostatic attraction and π-π interactions. These results indicate that VNU-23 can be utilized as a promising candidate for removing MB+ from an aqueous medium.

Project description:Considering the high risk of heavy metal ions (HMIs) transferring through the food chain and accumulating in milk, a flexible and facile point-of-care testing (POCT) platform is urgently needed for the accurate, sensitive, and highly selective on-site quantification of multiple HMIs in milk. In this work, a cost-effective disk with six screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) was designed for hand-held electrochemical detection. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) were adopted to amplify and enhance the electrochemical signals of methylene blue (MB). Using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) methods, low limits of detection for four HMIs (Cd2+, 0.039 ppb; Hg2+, 0.039 ppb; Pb2+, 0.073 ppb; and As3+, 0.022 ppb) were achieved within four minutes. Moreover, the quantitative POCT system was applied to milk samples. The advantages of low cost, ease of on-site implementation, fast response, and accuracy allow for the POCT platform to be used in practical monitoring applications for the quantitation of multiple HMIs in milk samples.

Project description:The realization of ferromagnetism in semiconductors is an attractive avenue for the development of spintronic applications. Here, we report a semiconducting layered metal-organic framework (MOF), namely K3Fe2[(2,3,9,10,16,17,23,24-octahydroxy phthalocyaninato)Fe] (K3Fe2[PcFe-O8]) with spontaneous magnetization. This layered MOF features in-plane full π-d conjugation and exhibits semiconducting behavior with a room temperature carrier mobility of 15 ± 2 cm2 V-1 s-1 as determined by time-resolved Terahertz spectroscopy. Magnetization experiments and 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy demonstrate the presence of long-range magnetic correlations in K3Fe2[PcFe-O8] arising from the magnetic coupling between iron centers via delocalized π electrons. The sample exhibits superparamagnetic features due to a distribution of crystal size and possesses magnetic hysteresis up to 350 K. Our work sets the stage for the development of spintronic materials exploiting magnetic MOF semiconductors.

Project description:Combining ionic liquids (ILs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can be an intriguing opportunity to develop advanced materials with different adsorption capabilities for environmental applications. This study reports the preparation and characterization of a 3D pillared-layered compound, namely, [Zn2(tz)2(bdc)] (CIM91), formed by 1,2,4-triazole (Htz) and 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid (H2bdc) ligands. Then, various loadings of the water-stable and hydrophobic IL, 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([BMIM][PF6]), and the water-soluble 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([BMIM][Cl]) were incorporated into CIM91. Detailed characterization by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), FT-IR spectra, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis, N2 adsorption measurements, and thermogravimetric analysis confirmed the formation of [BMIM][X]/CIM91 composites and the structural stability of the MOF after the incorporation of the ionic liquids. CO2 adsorption-desorption analysis was experimentally carried out for all the materials at 298 K and 318 K, demonstrating a great enhancement in the CO2 adsorption properties of the sole MOF CIM91, particularly by including [BMIM][PF6] species in its structure with a double isosteric heat of CO2 adsorption. The composites were also tested for the adsorption of methylene blue (MB) dye. The results indicate that the incorporation of [BMIM][X] into CIM91 can substantially modify the adsorption properties of the MOF. The influence of the nature of the [BMIM][X] anions on these properties has also been analyzed.

Project description:Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising candidates for CO2 adsorption due to their ultrahigh-specific surface area and highly tunable pore-surface properties. However, their large-scale application is hindered by processing issues associated with their microcrystalline powder nature, such as dustiness, pressure drop, and poor mass transfer within packed beds. To address these challenges, shaping/structuring micron-sized polycrystalline MOF powders into millimeter-sized structured forms while preserving porosity and functionality represents an effective yet challenging approach. In this study, a facile and versatile strategy was employed to integrate moisture-stable and scalable microcrystalline MOFs (UiO-66 and ZIF-8) into a poly(acrylonitrile) matrix to fabricate readily processable, millimeter-sized hierarchically porous structured adsorbents with ultrahigh MOF loadings (∼90 wt %) for direct industrial carbon capture applications. These structured composite beads retained the physicochemical properties and separation performance of the pristine MOF crystal particles. Structured UiO-66 and ZIF-8 exhibited high specific surface areas of 1130 m2 g-1 and 1431 m2 g-1, respectively. The structured UiO-66 achieved a CO2 adsorption capacity of 2.0 mmol g-1 at 1 bar and a dynamic CO2/N2 selectivity of 17 for a CO2/N2 gas mixture with a 15/85 volume ratio at 25 °C. Furthermore, the structured adsorbents exhibited excellent cyclability in static and dynamic CO2 adsorption studies, making them promising candidates for practical application.

Project description:Conductive layered metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have demonstrated promising electrochemical performances as supercapacitor electrode materials. The well-defined chemical structures of these crystalline porous electrodes facilitate structure-performance studies; however, there is a fundamental lack in the molecular-level understanding of charge storage mechanisms in conductive layered MOFs. To address this, we employ solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to study ion adsorption in nickel 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexaiminotriphenylene, Ni3(HITP)2. In this system, we find that separate resonances can be observed for the MOF's in-pore and ex-pore ions. The chemical shift of in-pore electrolyte is found to be dominated by specific chemical interactions with the MOF functional groups, with this result supported by quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Quantification of the electrolyte environments by NMR was also found to provide a proxy for electrochemical performance, which could facilitate the rapid screening of synthesized MOF samples. Finally, the charge storage mechanism was explored using a combination of ex-situ NMR and operando electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) experiments. These measurements revealed that cations are the dominant contributors to charge storage in Ni3(HITP)2, with anions contributing only a minor contribution to the charge storage. Overall, this work establishes the methods for studying MOF-electrolyte interactions via NMR spectroscopy. Understanding how these interactions influence the charging storage mechanism will aid the design of MOF-electrolyte combinations to optimize the performance of supercapacitors, as well as other electrochemical devices including electrocatalysts and sensors.

Project description:Three-dimensional (3D) printing was applied for the fabrication of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) framework. Functionalization of the ABS framework was then performed by coating of porous Cu-BTC (BTC = benzene tricarboxylic acid) metal-organic frameworks on it using a step-by-step in-situ growth. The size of the Cu-BTC particles on ABS was ranged from 200 nm to 900 nm. The Cu-BTC/ABS framework can take up most of the space of the tubular reactor that makes the adsorption effective with no need of stirring. Methylene blue (MB) can be readily removed from aqueous solution by this Cu-BTC/ABS framework. The MB removal efficiency for solutions with concentrations of 10 and 5 mg/L was 93.3% and 98.3%, respectively, within 10 min. After MB adsorption, the Cu-BTC/ABS composite can easily be recovered without the need for centrifugation or filtration and the composite is reusable. In addition the ABS framework can be recovered for subsequent reuse. A significant advantage of 3D-printed frameworks is that different frameworks can be easily fabricated to meet the needs of different applications. This is a promising strategy to synthesize new frameworks using MOFs and polymers to develop materials for applications beyond adsorption.

Project description:To enhance the dye adsorption capacity of zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67), phosphotungstic acid (HPW) was integrated into ZIF-67 to prepare composite adsorbents. Characterization results demonstrated that the electronegative HPW was uniformly and tightly deposited on the electropositive ZIF-67. Methylene blue (MB) was selected as a model contaminant to evaluate the adsorption performance of hybrid adsorbents. Results showed that HPW@ZIF-67 had excellent adsorption capacity toward cationic MB. The optimal ZIF-67-0.2 HPW sample with a HPW dosage of 9.9 wt % presented an adsorption capacity of 446.4 mg g-1. ZIF-67-0.2 HPW displayed good reusability, and the adsorption data can be well described by pseudo-second order and Langmuir isotherm models. The adsorption mechanism was ascribed to the preferred electrostatic attraction and π-π stacking between MB and composite adsorbents. This work provides a route to enhance organic dye removal efficiency of ZIF materials through regulation of surface charge property and sheds light on the development of ZIF-based adsorbents.

Project description:Heavy-metal-free carbon materials were prepared from spent coffee grounds (SCG) using the coupled KOH-urea and NaOH-urea as activating agents, and these were compared with SCG activation by the alkali salts alone. SCG was impregnated with the activating agents before being pyrolyzed at 800 °C under a N2 atmosphere. Characterization of the as-pyrolyzed carbon materials was performed by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and measurement of N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms. The carbon materials were utilized for the adsorption of methylene blue (MB) in aqueous solutions. Combining KOH and urea as activating agents resulted in the generation of pertinent SCG-derived carbon material properties, including a large surface area (1665.45 m2 g-1) and excellent MB adsorption capacity. Adsorption efficiencies were studied using adsorption kinetics (pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order) and adsorption isotherm (Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin) models. The influences of pH and temperature were investigated. The results of this work raise new possibilities for synthesizing carbon materials with high MB adsorption capacities from biowastes, via less-toxic, energy-saving conventional pyrolysis methods for water-treatment applications.

Project description:Visible light responsive 2 : 1 Ni/Ti layered double hydroxide (LDH) was synthesized by a single step hydrothermal route using commercially available Ni(NO3)2·6H2O, TiCl4 and urea. The material exhibited significant absorption in the visible range with a very narrow band gap (2.68 eV). This could be attributed to structural defects as confirmed by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), photoluminescence (PL), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements. FT-IR, TGA, DTA, DSC, HR-TEM and SEM-EDX measurements yielded information about structural aspects, thermal stability and surface morphology. Surface and pore characteristics of the material were obtained from the BET isotherm for N2 adsorption at 77 K. Zeta potential measurements were used to characterize the electrical properties of the surface while XPS revealed changes in surface states and oxygen deficiencies. The material was found to be an excellent photocatalyst for the degradation of aqueous methylene blue in visible light. The photocatalytic properties of the material were explained on the basis of the narrow band gap, the high surface area and the presence of surface defects. The photocatalytic activity improved in alkaline media [pH 11.0, catalyst load 15 mg in 200 ml dye solution, dye concentration 1 × 10(-6) M (= 0.3198 mg L(-1))] due to the electrostatic attractions between the dye cations and the negative charges on the Ni/Ti LDH surface. The catalytic activity was found to be higher than the common commercial catalysts like ZnO, ZnS, NiO, TiO2 and Degussa P25. The catalytic activity was retained even after five methylene blue degradation cycles, demonstrating that the LDH could be an important addition to the field of wastewater treatment.
