Rapid Flow Synthesis of Zr‐MOF Nanoparticles in Supercritical CO2 for Toxic Chemical Removal

open access: yesSmall Methods, EarlyView.
Supercritical CO2 continuous‐flow synthesis produces highly crystalline Zr‐MOFs with residence times as short as 75 s. The resulting UiO‐66 and UiO‐66‐NH2 exhibit high porosity and effective adsorption and degradation of toxic chemicals. ABSTRACT Zirconium‐based metal‐organic frameworks (Zr‐MOFs) are promising materials for the adsorption and ...
