Template Method for Synthesizing Hierarchically Porous MIL-101(Cr) for Efficient Removal of Large Molecular Dye.

ABSTRACT: As one of the most important prototypical chromium-based MOFs, MIL-101(Cr) is well-studied and widely employed in various scientific fields. However, due to its small capture window sizes and curved internal apertures, its application in large molecular removal is quite limited, and given its high stability and high synthetic temperature (>200 °C), it is difficult to achieve hierarchically porous MIL-101(Cr). In our study, hierarchically porous MIL-101(Cr) involving a high macro-/meso-/micropores ratio was designed and synthesized using acetic acid as an additive and silicon dioxide (SiO₂) nanoparticles as a template. The optimal hierarchically porous MIL-101(Cr) (A-4) possessed a high specific surface area (2693 m² g^-1) and an abundant macro-/mesoporous structure with the addition of SiO₂ of 200 mg. Compared with the control sample (A-0) with a less macro-/mesoporous structure, A-4 showed good adsorption properties for both coomassie brilliant blue R-250 (CBB, 82.1 mg g^-1) and methylene blue (MB, 34.3 mg g^-1) dyes, which were 1.36 times and 9.37 times higher than those of A-0. Moreover, A-4 also had good recyclability, and the removal rate of CBB was still higher than 85% after five cycles of adsorption.

Project description:In this study, hybrids of nanoporous MIL-101(Cr) and MIL-53(Al) were synthesized using a hydrothermal method for various time periods, ranging from 8 to 40 h. The prepared materials were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and elemental analysis, and their specific surface areas were measured by N2 sorption at 77 K using the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method. To investigate the practical application of these materials, the pure carbon dioxide and methane adsorption capacities of the samples were determined using the volumetric method. The Langmuir model was used to fit the CO2 and CH4 isotherms. Extended Langmuir (EL) equations and the ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST) models were used to obtain the CO2/CH4 selectivity. The sample with the highest BET specific surface area was selected as a candidate for further investigations. The thermal stability of the selected sample was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to characterize the sample morphology. XRD results showed that the sample synthesized over the shortest time corresponded to MIL-101(Cr), while the sample synthesized over the longest time was in agreement with MIL-53(Al). Samples synthesized for time periods between these two limits were assumed to be composites of both MIL-53(Al) and MIL-101(Cr). TGA results indicated that the hybrid materials were thermally stable at temperatures about 100 °C higher than for pure MIL-101(Cr). The BET specific surface area (1746 m2 g-1) and CO2 adsorption capacity (16 mmol g-1) of the selected hybrid sample were about 50% and 35% higher, respectively, compared with those of pure MIL-53(Al), but 30% and 20% lower, respectively, compared with those of pure MIL-101(Cr). Binary adsorption modeling showed the high selectivity of the MIL-101(Cr) and MIL-53(Al) hybrid material for CO2 with a minimum separation factor of about 60 at 298 K. This value was much higher than those reported previously and those observed in this work for the original MIL-101(Cr) or MIL-53(Al). These results demonstrated that the hybrid of MIL-101(Cr) and MIL-53(Al) was a promising material for selective CO2 capture from natural and biogas.
