Protecting metal-organic framework crystals from hydrolytic degradation by spray-dry encapsulating them into polystyrene microspheres.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many metal-organic frameworks are water labile, including the iconic Hong-Kong University of Science and Technology-1 (HKUST-1). Spray-dry encapsulation of HKUST-1 crystals into polystyrene microspheres is reported here to yield composites that are resistant to water but retain most of the excellent gas sorption capacity of HKUST-1. These composites are demonstrated to exhibit superior water adsorption/desorption cycling, maintaining the level of water uptake even after three cycles.

Metal-organic framework materials as nano photocatalyst
Photocatalytic degradation of toxic organic compound in water, soil and air by semiconductor catalysts such as TiO2 and ZnO have received much attention over the last two decades. However, the low quantum yield, easy agglomeration and difficult post-separation of these inorganic catalysts limit their application for large-scale applications. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are the latest class ...

متن کاملPreparation of Silver - Coated Polystyrene Composite Particles
We report a feasible approach to the preparation of monodispersed metal-shell composite microspheres based on a combination of surface reaction and surface seeding techniques. The method was implemented for coating polystyrene (PS) spheres with silver shell having a variable thickness by controlling the amount of reagents in the reaction procedure. These composite spherical particles in dimensi...
متن کاملStructure of Yttrium and Phosphorus-Containing Microspheres Prepared by Spray Dry Method
Microspheres containing yttrium (Y) and/or phosphorus (P) around 25 μm are useful for radioembolization therapy because they are activated to β-emitter by neutron bombardment and infused in blood vessels in the neighborhood of tumors to irradiate β-rays to the tumors. In this study, we attempt to prepare Y and P-containing microspheres by spray drying method. Starting solution containing yttriu...
متن کاملThe preparation of Ni-plated polystyrene microspheres using 3-(trimethoxysilyl) propyl methacrylate as a bridging agent
This study focuses on the preparation of Ni-plated polystyrene (PS) microspheres (diameter 3.7–4.5 μm). These Ni-plated PS microspheres have core–shell structures that were designed and prepared using an organic polymer core (PS with 3-(trimethoxysilyl) propyl methacrylate (TSPM)) and an inorganic metal (Ni) plated shell. The polymer microspheres were synthesized by dispersion copolymerization,...
