Exceptional CO and HS adsorption by tuning micro/mesopore ratios with embedded graphene oxide/N-doped carbon quantum dots in MIL-101(Cr): Experimental and computational insights.

Herein, a novel nanocomposite was developed to adjust the textural properties of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for adsorptive applications. To this end, nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots/reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite (RC) was embedded into MIL-101(Cr) crystals, named RC-ML-x nanocomposites. The prepared nanoadsorbents were thoroughly characterized by different techniques.
