Metal organic framework derived NaCo_xO_y for room temperature hydrogen sulfide removal.

ABSTRACT: Novel NaCo_xO_y adsorbents were fabricated by air calcination of (Na,Co)-organic frameworks at 700 °C. The NaCo_xO_y crystallized as hexagonal microsheets of 100-200 nm thickness with the presence of some polyhedral nanocrystals. The surface area was in the range of 1.15-1.90 m² g^-1. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis confirmed Co²⁺ and Co³⁺ sites in MOFs, which were preserved in NaCo_xO_y. The synthesized adsorbents were studied for room-temperature H₂S removal in both dry and moist conditions. NaCo_xO_y adsorbents were found ~ 80 times better than the MOF precursors. The maximum adsorption capacity of 168.2 mg g^-1 was recorded for a 500 ppm H₂S concentration flowing at a rate of 0.1 L min^-1. The adsorption capacity decreased in the moist condition due to the competitive nature of water molecules for the H₂S-binding sites. The PXRD analysis predicted Co₃S₄, CoSO₄, Co₃O₄, and Co(OH)₂ in the H₂S-exposed sample. The XPS analysis confirmed the formation of sulfide, sulfur, and sulfate as the products of H₂S oxidation at room temperature. The work reported here is the first study on the use of NaCo_xO_y type materials for H₂S remediation.

Intrinsic room-temperature ferromagnetism in a two-dimensional semiconducting metal-organic framework.

Project description:The development of two-dimensional (2D) magnetic semiconductors with room-temperature ferromagnetism is a significant challenge in materials science and is important for the development of next-generation spintronic devices. Herein, we demonstrate that a 2D semiconducting antiferromagnetic Cu-MOF can be endowed with intrinsic room-temperature ferromagnetic coupling using a ligand cleavage strategy to regulate the inner magnetic interaction within the Cu dimers. Using the element-selective X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) technique, we provide unambiguous evidence for intrinsic ferromagnetism. Exhaustive structural characterizations confirm that the change of magnetic coupling is caused by the increased distance between Cu atoms within a Cu dimer. Theoretical calculations reveal that the ferromagnetic coupling is enhanced with the increased Cu-Cu distance, which depresses the hybridization between 3d orbitals of nearest Cu atoms. Our work provides an effective avenue to design and fabricate MOF-based semiconducting room-temperature ferromagnetic materials and promotes their practical applications in next-generation spintronic devices.

Reversible ammonia uptake at room temperature in a robust and tunable metal-organic framework.

Project description:Ammonia is useful for the production of fertilizers and chemicals for modern technology, but its high toxicity and corrosiveness are harmful to the environment and human health. Here, we report the recyclable and tunable ammonia adsorption using a robust imidazolium-based MOF (JCM-1) that uptakes 5.7 mmol g-1 of NH3 at 298 K reversibly without structural deformation. Furthermore, a simple substitution of NO3 - with Cl- in a post-synthetic manner leads to an increase in the NH3 uptake capacity of JCM-1(Cl-) up to 7.2 mmol g-1.

A malonitrile-functionalized metal-organic framework for hydrogen sulfide detection and selective amino acid molecular recognition.

Project description:A novel porous polymeric fluorescence probe, MN-ZIF-90, has been designed and synthesized for quantitative hydrogen sulfide (H2S) fluorescent detection and highly selective amino acid recognition. This distinct crystalline structure, derived from rational design and malonitrile functionalization, can trigger significant enhancement of its fluorescent intensity when exposed to H2S or cysteine molecules. Indeed this new metal-organic framework (MOF) structure shows high selectivity of biothiols over other amino acids and exhibits favorable stability. Moreover, in vitro viability assays on HeLa cells show low cytotoxicity of MN-ZIF-90 and its imaging contrast efficiency is further demonstrated by fluorescence microscopy studies. This facile yet powerful strategy also offers great potential of using open-framework materials (i.e. MOFs) as the novel platform for sensing and other biological applications.

Room temperature synthesis of a luminescent crystalline Cu-BTC coordination polymer and metal-organic framework.

Project description:Synthesis of crystalline materials is elemental in the field of coordination chemistry towards optical applications. In the present work, coordination between copper and benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid (BTC) is controlled by adjusting the pH scale of the reaction mixture at room temperature to synthesize two crystalline structures: metal-organic framework HKUST-1 and coordination polymer Cu(BTC)·3H2O. The post-synthesis transformation of HKUST-1 into Cu(BTC)·3H2O is further demonstrated. Single crystals of both structures are studied by multi-laser Raman and luminescence spectroscopy. It is found that both crystals exhibit photoluminescence in the range of 700-900 cm-1 within the optical gap of the bulk materials, which can be associated with crystallographic defects. This work gives impetus for the synthesis of large metal-organic crystals based on which optical properties can be studied in depth.

Facile stabilization of a cyclodextrin metal-organic framework under humid environment via hydrogen sulfide treatment.

Project description:Increasing resistance to humid environments is a major challenge for the application of γ-CD-K-MOF (a green MOF) in real-world utilisation. γ-CD-K-MOF-H2S with enhanced moisture tolerance was obtained by simply treating MOF with H2S gas. XPS, Raman and TGA characterizations indicated that the H2S molecules coordinated with the metal centers in the framework. H2S acting as a newly available water adsorption potential well near the potassium centers protects the metal-ligand coordination bond from attack by water molecules and thus improves the moisture stability of MOF. After 7 days exposure in 60% relative humidity, γ-CD-K-MOF-H2S retained its crystal structure and morphology, while γ-CD-K-MOF had nearly collapsed. In addition, the formaldehyde uptake tests indicated that γ-CD-K-MOF retain their permanent porosity after interaction with H2S. This simple and facile one-step strategy would open a new avenue for preparation of moisture stable MOFs for practical applications.

A metal-free 2D layered organic ammonium halide framework realizing full-color persistent room-temperature phosphorescence.

Project description:Organic-inorganic hybrid metal halides have attracted intensive attention because of their unique electronic structure and solution processability. They have a rigid micro/nano-structure and heavy atom effect, which has obvious advantages in promoting organic room temperature phosphorescence (RTP). However, the toxicity of heavy metals has limited their further development. Herein, two metal-free 2D layered ammonium halides, homopiperonylammonium bromide and chloride (HLB and HLC), are described for the first time. Their layered structure consists of rigid inorganic ammonium halide laminates and neatly stacked organic layers. The rigid laminates and external heavy atom effect of halogen atoms make HLB and HLC produce green RTP. When phosphor guests with different triplet energies are doped into HLB, HLC, or phenylethylamine salt hosts, effective full-color and even white ultra-long RTP with phosphorescence quantum yield up to 18.7% and lifetime up to 1.7 s is realized through energy transfer between the host and guest. Due to the simple solution synthesis, 10 g-level doped layered organic ammonium halides with the same phosphorescence properties can be easily obtained. The information ink based on these doped halides and non-toxic ethanol solvent can form various patterns on filter paper. The fluorescence and phosphorescence of these patterns are sensitive to the excitation wavelength and acid-base vapor. Consequently, they can be applied to multiple complex anti-counterfeiting and fluorescence/phosphorescence dual-mode chemical sensors.

Rapid Room-Temperature Preparation of Hierarchically Porous Metal-Organic Frameworks for Efficient Uranium Removal from Aqueous Solutions.

Project description:The effective removal of uranium from an aqueous solution is a highly valuable process for the environment and health. In this study, we developed a facile and rapid method to synthesize hierarchically porous Cu-BTC (RT-Cu-BTC) using a cooperative template strategy. The as-synthesized RT-Cu-BTC exhibited hierarchically porous structure and excellent thermostability, as revealed by X-ray powder diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. Compared with conventional metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and zeolites, the obtained RT-Cu-BTC exhibited enhanced adsorption capacity (839.7 mg·g-1) and high removal efficiency (99.8%) in the capture of uranium (VI) from aqueous solutions. Furthermore, the conditions such as adsorbent dose, contact time, and temperature in adsorption of uranium (VI) by RT-Cu-BTC were investigated in detail. The thermodynamics data demonstrated the spontaneous and endothermic nature of the uranium (VI) adsorption process. The Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order models could better reflect the adsorption process of uranium (VI) onto RT-Cu-BTC. In addition, the as-synthesized RT-Cu-BTC showed excellent stability in removing uranium (VI) from an aqueous solution. This work provides a facile and rapid approach for fabricating hierarchically porous MOFs to realize a highly efficient removal of uranium (VI) from aqueous systems.

Hydrogen Sulfide Removal via Sorption Process on Activated Carbon-Metal Oxide Composites Derived from Different Biomass Sources.

Project description:Biomass exploitation is a global trend due to the circular economy and the environmentally friendly spirit. Numerous applications are now based on the use of biomass-derived products. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a highly toxic and environmentally hazardous gas which is emitted from various processes. Thus, the efficient removal of this toxic hazardous gas following cost-effective processes is an essential requirement. In this study, we present the synthesis and characterization of biomass-derived activated carbon/zinc oxide (ZnO@AC) composites from different biomass sources as potential candidates for H2S sorption. The synthesis involved a facile method for activated carbon production via pyrolysis and chemical activation of biomass precursors (spent coffee, Aloe-Vera waste leaves, and corncob). Activated carbon production was followed by the incorporation of zinc oxide nanoparticles into the porous carbon matrix using a simple melt impregnation method. The synthesized ZnO@AC composites were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy (IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and nitrogen porosimetry. The H2S removal performance of the ZnO@AC composites was evaluated through sorption experiments using a handmade apparatus. Our findings demonstrate that the Aloe-Vera-, spent coffee-, and corncob-derived composites exhibit superior H2S sorption capacity up to 106 mgH2S/gads., 66 mgH2S/gads., and 47 mgH2S/gads., respectively.

Facet-dependent photocatalytic hydrogen production of metal-organic framework NH2-MIL-125(Ti).

Project description:Facet-dependent catalytic activity of hard materials such as metals and metal oxides is well recognized in previous works. However, it has rarely been established for metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), possibly because the soft crystals of MOFs are conceptually different from the hard solids. In this work, the surface structure of the MOF NH2-MIL-125(Ti) has been investigated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations for the first time. These calculations predict that the {110} facet has a surface energy of 1.18 J m-2, which is superior to those of the {001}, {100} and {111} facets. This difference can be attributed to the larger percentage of exposed metal clusters, which can act as active sites in catalysis. Thus, we have devised and successfully obtained a series of nanoscaled NH2-MIL-125(Ti) MOFs with controlled facets both experimentally and theoretically. The sample containing the {110} facet exhibits the highest photocatalytic hydrogen production activity and apparent quantum yield, which are approximately three times those of the sample with a dominant {111} facet.

Metal-organic framework derived single-atom catalysts for electrochemical CO2 reduction.

Project description:With maximum atomic utilization, transition metal single atom catalysts (SACs) show great potential in electrochemical reduction of CO2 to CO. Herein, by a facile pyrolysis of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) assembled with tiny amounts of metal ions, a series of metal-nitrogen-carbon (M-N-C) based SACs (M = Fe, Ni, Mn, Co and Cu), with metal single atoms decorated on a nitrogen-doped carbon support, have been precisely constructed. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) for M-N-C showed that the N 1s spectrum was deconvoluted into five peaks for pyridinic (∼398.3 eV), M-N coordination (∼399.6 eV), pyrrolic (∼400.4 eV), quaternary (∼401.2 eV) and oxidized (∼402.9 eV) N species, demonstrating the existence of M-N bonding. High-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM) indicates homogeneous distribution of metal species throughout the N-doped carbon matrix. Among the catalysts examined, the Fe-N-C catalyst exhibits the best catalytic performance in electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) with nearly 100% faradaic efficiency for CO (FECO) at -0.9 V vs. the reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE). Ni-N-C is the second most active catalyst towards CO2RR performance, then followed by Mn-N-C, Co-N-C and Cu-N-C. Considering the optimum activity of Fe-N-C catalyst for the CO2RR, we then further investigate the effect of pyrolysis temperature on CO2RR of the Fe-N-C catalyst. We find the Fe-N-C catalyst pyrolyzed at 1000 °C exhibits the best catalytic activity in CO2RR with excellent CO selectivity.
