“…Except for its distinct merits such as large pore volume, high BET surface area, and excellent stability in water, MIL-101 also contains numerous potential open chromium sites (up to 3.0 mmol/g) (Hwang et al, 2008) with an unoccupied orbital that are expected to anchor amine functionalization via a strong binding interaction with the positive nitrogen atoms. It is also demonstrated that amine-functionalized MIL-101 has high CO 2 capture capacities (Lin et al, 2013; Yan et al, 2013; Hu et al, 2014; Lin J.-L. et al, 2014; Cabello et al, 2015; Darunte et al, 2016; Huang et al, 2016; Emerson et al, 2018; Zhong et al, 2018; Liu et al, 2019). Thus, in our work, MIL-101(Cr) was fabricated and modified with a series of amines to achieve the efficient storage of CO 2 substrate.…”
