“…Additionally, all characteristic peaks of Fe 3 O 4 and UiO-66-NH 2 are present in Fe 3 O 4 /UiO-66-NH 2 , indicating that the crystal structures of UiO-66-NH 2 and Fe 3 O 4 are well-preserved during the composite process. 59 A clear diffraction peak of GO is detected at 2θ = 11.22°, and a broad and diffuse peak is detected at 2θ = 10.48°after the organic ligand EDTA modification. As an organic ligand containing many carboxyl and amino groups, EDTA has strong coordination and affinity, can undergo an esterification reaction with the hydroxyl groups on the GO surface, and tightly covers the GO surface, which may change the lattice constant and crystal structure of GO and generate more amorphous structures, causing the shift and intensity change of diffraction peaks, indicating that EDTA is successfully connected to the surface of GO.…”
