A Cu-BTC metal–organic framework hybrid with graphene oxide (GO) having ultralow GO content (1 wt %) was developed in situ and explored as a medium for hydrogen storage at ambient temperature. The structural integration of both counterparts the Cu-BTC/GO attained through interaction Cu centers oxygen-bearing groups by equatorial axial coordination upon in-situ growth. As result, showed enhanced...

Cu-based nanostructures are a well-known class of antibacterial nanomaterials with broad properties. In this study, facile and one-pot solvosonication process is introduced to synthesize Cu-BTC/graphene oxide nanocomposites controlled morphological structural The size range synthesized Cu-BTC nanoparticles through the synthesis by adjusting content graphene nanosheets in precursor solution. A w...

Adsorption equilibria and NMR experiments were performed to study the adsorption and interactions of ammonia with metal-organic framework (MOF) HKUST-1, or Cu(3)(BTC)(2) (BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate). Ammonia capacities determined from chemical breakthrough measurements show significantly higher uptake capacities than from adsorption alone, suggesting a stronger interaction involving a po...

Crystalline and amorphized MOFs (Cu(3)(BTC)(2)) have been demonstrated to be excellent catalysts for CO oxidation. The catalytic activity can be further improved by loading PdO(2) nanoparticles onto the amorphized Cu(3)(BTC)(2).

Three-dimensional (3D) printing was applied for the fabrication of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) framework. Functionalization of the ABS framework was then performed by coating of porous Cu-BTC (BTC = benzene tricarboxylic acid) metal-organic frameworks on it using a step-by-step in-situ growth. The size of the Cu-BTC particles on ABS was ranged from 200 nm to 900 nm. The Cu-BTC/ABS fra...

copper trimesate (cu-btc) mof has been pointed out as a promising adsorbent for separating carbon dioxide from methane. however, mof’s need to be shaped prior to their use in packed bed adsorbers in order to reduce pressure drop; on the other hand, the production of mechanically resistant shaped bodies reduces their adsorption performance. in this work, cu-btc tablets provided by basf are evalu...

Although metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) or porous coordination polymers have been widely studied, their antimicrobial activities have not yet been fully investigated. In this work, antifungal activity of copper-based benzene-tricarboxylate MOF (Cu-BTC MOF), which is water stable and industrially interesting, is investigated against Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus oryzae and Fu...

Cu3(BTC)2 is an efficient and reusable heterogeneous catalyst for the dehydrogenative coupling of silanes with alcohols. Activity data and CO adsorption suggest that Cu(II) and in situ generated Cu(I) are the active species. Other MOFs such as Fe(BTC), MIL-101(Cr) and UiO-66(Zr) are unable to promote this cross-coupling.
