The morphological and structural properties of the prepared samples were investigated using X-ray diffraction, TEM, SEM, BET and FTIR spectroscopy. Importantly, Mg doping not only caused the Cr-Mg-MOF to have a higher surface area than MIL-101 (Cr) or MOF-74 (Mg), but the strategy of doping metal ions can be an effective way to improve the adsorption performance of MOFs. The surface acidity and the acid strength of the samples were determined using potentiometric titration and the FTIR of pyridine adsorption.
