Article Synopsis
  • - Researchers focused on improving metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) due to their desirable properties but faced challenges with poor hydrothermal stability that limited their applications.
  • - A new hybrid material was created by combining a well-known MOF (HKUST-1) with carboxyl-functionalized natural clay (attapulgite), which enhanced both hydrothermal stability and catalytic performance.
  • - The hybrid MOFs showed significantly improved surface area and catalytic effectiveness, achieving nearly 99% conversion in a chemical reaction within 20 minutes, and maintained their performance over multiple reuse cycles.

Selective reduction of supported CuO to Cu2O was realized using the strategy of vapor-induced reduction, in which HCHO/H2O vapor diffuses into the pores of the support and interacts with predispersed CuO. This new strategy allows the fabrication of supported cuprous sites at much lower temperatures within a short time, avoids the formation of Cu(0) with a Cu(I) yield of nearly 100%, and results in materials with good adsorption performance, which is impossible to achieve by conventional methods.
