Solvent-derived defects suppress adsorption in MOF-74.

ABSTRACT: Defects in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have great impact on their nano-scale structure and physiochemical properties. However, isolated defects are easily concealed when the frameworks are interrogated by typical characterization methods. In this work, we unveil the presence of solvent-derived formate defects in MOF-74, an important class of MOFs with open metal sites. With multi-dimensional solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) investigations, we uncover the ligand substitution role of formate and its chemical origin from decomposed N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) solvent. The placement and coordination structure of formate defects are determined by ¹³C NMR and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The extra metal-oxygen bonds with formates partially eliminate open metal sites and lead to a quantitative decrease of N₂ and CO₂ adsorption with respect to the defect concentration. In-situ NMR analysis and molecular simulations of CO₂ dynamics elaborate the adsorption mechanisms in defective MOF-74. Our study establishes comprehensive strategies to search, elucidate and manipulate defects in MOFs.

Project description:A magnesium-based metal-organic framework (Mg-MOF-74) exhibits excellent CO2 adsorption under ambient conditions. However, the photostability of Mg-MOF-74 for CO2 adsorption is poor. In this study, Mg x Cu1-x -MOF-74 was synthesized by using a facile "one-pot" method. Furthermore, the effects of synthesis conditions on the CO2 adsorption capacity were investigated comprehensively. X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared, scanning electron microscopy, thermo gravimetric analysis, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy, and CO2 static adsorption-desorption techniques were used to characterize the structures, morphology, and physicochemical properties of Mg x Cu1-x -MOF-74. CO2 uptake of Mg x Cu1-x -MOF-74 under visible light illumination was measured by the CO2 static adsorption test combined with the Xe lamp. The results revealed that Mg x Cu1-x -MOF-74 exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity. Furthermore, the CO2 adsorption capacity of Mg x Cu1-x -MOF-74 was excellent at a synthesis temperature and time of 398 K and 24 h in dimethylformamide (DMF)-EtOH-MeOH mixing solvents, respectively. Mg x Cu1-x -MOF-74 retained a crystal structure similar to that of the corresponding monometallic MOF-74, and its CO2 uptake under visible light was superior to that of the corresponding monometallic MOF-74. Particularly, the CO2 uptake of Mg0.4Cu0.6-MOF-74 under Xe lamp illumination for 24 h was the highest, up to 3.52 mmol·g-1, which was 1.18 and 2.09 times higher than that of Mg- and Cu-MOF-74, respectively. The yield of the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO was 49.44 μmol·gcat -1 over Mg0.4Cu0.6-MOF-74 under visible light for 8 h. Mg2+ and Cu2+ functioned as open alkali metal that could adsorb and activate CO2. The synergistic effect between Mg and Cu metal strengthened Mg x Cu1-x -MOF-74 photostability for CO2 adsorption and broadened the scope of its photocatalytic application. The "bimetallic" strategy exhibits considerable potential for use in MOF-based semiconductor composites and provides a feasible method for catalyst design with remarkable CO2 adsorption capacity and photocatalytic activity.
