METAL–ORGANIC FRAMEWORKS (MOFS) AS FUNCTIONAL NANOMATERIALS: STRUCTURAL DESIGN, TAILORED FUNCTIONALIZATION, AND APPLICATIONS IN GAS STORAGE, SEPARATION, AND CATALYSIS

Abstract

Metal-Organic Frameworks have established a discontinuous group of crystalline pores solids, whereas structural design, on-command functionalization and multitasking projections have never been accomplished. Moreover, MOFs are designed based on metal nodes and organic linkers, thus MOFs have ultrahigh surface areas, tuneable pore geometry and chemical conditions relative to conventional porous adsorbents such as zeolites and activated carbons. Here, we designed and described the different MOFs and evaluated them including gaseous storage, gaseous separation, and catalysis. Determination of BET and PXRD equivalent of porosity and crystallinity of surface areas showed that both routes to synthesis, namely solute to synthesize, specifically the solute to solvothermal scale, had an equal motivation to solute to inian chemical: solvothermal has stronger structures than other routes. MIL-101 and UiO-66 were demonstrated to have very high stability in hydrogen and methane absorption in the phenomenon of gas adsorption and amine-functionalized UiO-66 was highly selective in the breakthrough of CO 2 /CH 4 separation. MOFs were discovered to have a dual role of not only acting as active catalysts but also a host of nanoparticles and Pd@UiO-66-NH 2 was reported to convert in Suzuki C 2 C couples or NH 2-MIL-125( Ti ) show was found to be an active catalyst of photocatalytic reduction of CO 2. Thermal stability and experiments of the diligence revealed that the stability of the Zr-based MOFs compared them with the Cu-based and experiments of recyclability confirmed the stability of the former within repeated catalytic cycles. These results indicate the decisive course supposed to be taken by the rational design of MOF to bridge the concatenation between laboratory discoveries and application, and the future appeal that the approach will have in hypernational barrels of energy in energy storage, selective gas separations, and green catalysis
