A bimetallic MOF-derived MnCo spinel oxide catalyst to enhance toluene catalytic degradation.

MnCo spinel oxide catalysts were successfully synthesized by the calcination of bimetallic Mn/Co-MOFs as sacrificial templates. The derived catalysts exhibited optimal catalytic activity, reusability and thermal stability for toluene oxidation, which was ascribed to their large specific surface area, higher number of octahedral metal ions and the weakest metal-oxygen bonds.

Enhanced hydrophobic UiO-66 (University of Oslo 66) metal-organic framework with high capacity and selectivity for toluene capture from high humid air.

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are good absorbents that provide high specific surface area, modified pore surface and controllable pore size. The aim of this work is to prepare a MOFs material with good toluene adsorption property in the presence of water. In this paper, modified UiO-66 (University of Oslo 66) was successfully synthesized with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as structure-directing agent by a simple solvothermal method.

Adsorption/desorption kinetics and breakthrough of gaseous toluene for modified microporous-mesoporous UiO-66 metal organic framework.

In this work, micro-mesoporous UiO-66 was successfully prepared with P123 (EOPOEO) as structure-directing agent by a simple solvothermal method. Adsorption/desorption kinetics of gaseous toluene over pristine UiO-66 and micro-mesoporous UiO-66 were investigated by breakthrough experiments, toluene vapor adsorption isotherm measurements and temperature programmed desorption (TPD) experiments. The interactions between toluene and UiO-66 samples were assessed through the Henry's law constant (K) and the isosteric adsorption heat (ΔH).

Facile Synthesis of Highly Efficient Amorphous Mn-MIL-100 Catalysts: Formation Mechanism and Structure Changes during Application in CO Oxidation.

A comprehensive study was carried out on amorphous metal-organic frameworks Mn-MIL-100 as efficient catalysts for CO oxidation. This study focused on explaining the crystalline-amorphous-crystalline transformations during thermolysis of Mn-MIL-100 and studying the structure changes during the CO oxidation reaction. A possible formation mechanism of amorphous Mn-MIL-100 was proposed.
