Herein, a novel composite material containing UiO-66 and palygorskite (Pal) clay mineral was prepared using facile one-pot synthesis process. The studied variety of techniques applied as did not affect the structure metal-organic framework (MOF) part, but induced small increase in specific surface area. developed Pal/UiO-66 presented excellent adsorption efficiency against MO removal, evidenced...

The existence of Unknown Input Observers (UIO) for nonlinear systems has been characterized recently by the first authors of this note as an abstract incremental dissipativity property of the system. In this paper, it is shown that for a large class of systems this condition can be made computable by the use of LMI techniques, leading to a constructive design method of nonlinear UIOs.

Colloidal deposition of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) onto NH2-UiO-66 nanocrystals has been demonstrated with the resulting hybrid catalyst proving robust and versatile for one-pot, heterogeneous conversions involving the selective oxidation of primary alcohols in tandem with Knoevenagel condensation reactions. Within these systems, structure-property correlations have been established to confirm...

The exceptional structural stability of UiO-66 metal–organic framework (MOF) and ligands' functional groups render as a versatile candidate for multiple applications, including wastewater treatment. possibility broad spectrum post-synthetic modification further expands its prospective uses. However, commercial applications have been hindered by the polycrystalline nature powder. In this researc...

Lead detection for biological environments, aqueous resources, and medicinal compounds, rely mainly on either utilizing bulky lab equipment such as ICP-OES or ready-made sensors, which are based colorimetry with some limitations including selectivity low interference. Remote, rapid efficient of heavy metals in solutions at ppm sub-ppm levels have faced significant challenges that requires novel...

A series of rare-earth based UiO-66 analogues is synthesised through different approaches with the aid two solvents.
