copper oxide nanostructures have been successfully synthesized via one-step solid-state thermolysis of two metal-organic frameworks, [cu3(btc)2] (1) and [cu(tpa).(dmf)] (2), (btc = benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate, tpa = therephtalic acid = 1,4-benzendicarboxylic acid and dmf = dimethyl formamide) under air atmosphere at 400,  500, and 600°c. it has also been found that the reaction temperature pla...

A porous coordination polymer [Cu(3)(btc)(2)] with controllable size and morphology from nanocube to microoctahedron was readily synthesized in an ethanol-water mixture at room temperature by adjusting the concentration of the surfactant and the polymer shows size- and morphology-dependent sorption properties.

The performance of Cu-BTC metal organic framework for carbon tetrachloride removal from air has been studied using molecular simulations. According to our results, this material shows extremely high adsorption selectivity in favour of carbon tetrachloride. We demonstrate that this selectivity can be further enhanced by selective blockage of the framework.

Nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions from high temperature combustion processes under fuel-lean conditions continue to be a challenge for the energy industry. Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) has been possible with metal and zeolites. There is still need identify materials that are efficient in reducing NOx environmentally benign nitrogen gas at temperatures lower than 200°C. Metal-organic framew...

In this work, we report the optical and thermal properties of Cu(BTC)·3H₂O (BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid) and Zn(ADC)·DMSO (ADC = 9,10- anthracenedicarboxylic acid, DMSO = dimethyl sulfoxide) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) micro/nanopillars. The morphologies of MOFs on surfaces are most in the form of micro/nanopillars that were vertically oriented on the surface. The size and morphol...

In order to remove tetracycline (TC) from sewage more effectively, the adsorption performance of TC on alginate composite aerogel beads containing carbon nanomaterials was studied systematically. Carboxylated functionalized nanotubes (F-CNTs)@Cu-based metal-organic framework (Cu-BTC) nanomaterial composites (F-C) were prepared by a hydrothermal method, and F-C powders coated fixed macromolecula...
