Boosted capture of volatile organic compounds in adsorption capacity and selectivity by rationally exploiting defect-engineering of UiO-66(Zr)

The great challenge in capturing harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs) using Metal-Organic-Frameworks (MOFs) materials still rely on rationally modifying its appreciable microporous character in hydrostable structure. Defected structure in MOFs might be very beneficial for creating expected engineering adsorbent. In this study, defect-engineering UiO-66 via imparting acetic acid (HAc) as an interfering agent was successfully fabricated by a...
