Abstract:Activation process designed to remove the solvent and unreacted ligands is the key step for the synthesis of metalorganic frameworks (MOFs). MIL-53(Al), a subclass of MOFs, was prepared using various synthesis and activation methods. Especially, a combined activation method was proposed. The performance of activation methods was evaluated by the specific surface area of the samples. The mechanism of activation methods was confirmed by the loading induced structural transition of MIL-53(Al) using X-ray diffract… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
