Crystallochemical design of metal–organic polymer CuBTC and activated carbon composite

Effect of CuBTC Composition, Structure, and Morphology on the Catalytic and Antimicrobial Properties

“…Figure 3a shows the XRD patterns of the studied CuBTC samples, two of which are non-single-phase, CuBTC-1 (to a greater extent; Figure 3a) 31 and CuBTC-4 (Figure 3d). Their cell parameters are given in Figure 4 (the multiphase CuBTC-1 sample is not considered in this case).…”

“…40 Moreover, it does not contradict the shape of the CuBTC-1 XRD pattern (Figure 3a). 31 At that, according to experimental results, Cu(NO 3 ) 2 × 3H 2 O is the best copper(II) precursor, and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF)/C 2 H 5 OH/H 2 O with a ratio of 1:1:1 is the most suitable solvent for HKUST-1 synthesis.…”

“…The HKUST-1 type samples (hereinafter referred to as CuBTC) were obtained by hydrothermal and solvothermal methods in an autoclave or in an open reactor with a varying solvent (SOLV), a precursor with Cu 2+ ions, temperature ( t , °C) and duration (τ, h) of hydrolysis, and post-synthetic treatment of sediment (Table ). The conditions for the multiphase CuBTC-1 sample fabrication are described in ref .…”

“…The sample morphology was studied on a JSM-6510LV scanning electron microscope (JEOL, Japan). A Netzsch DSC 204 instrument (Phoenix, Germany) was used to study the CuBTC-6 sample (Table 1) by the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) method similar to the CuBTC-1 sample: 31 scan rate of 10 °C/min in argon (99.99%) with a flow rate of 100 mL/min in the temperature range of�60 to 600 °C and sample weight of ∼10 mg. The DSC results (surface area and temperature of peaks) were processed using the Netzsch Proteus program.…”

“…(2) Dots are XRD analysis, 3,19,22,42,46 crosses are XAS, 31,44 and squares are our XAS data (see Table 2). Among the obtained samples with CuBTC, the highest conversion degree (α value) was achieved on multiphase CuBTC-4 (Table 1, Figure 3) but in the high-temperature region (t > 300 °C) (Figure 11, Table 3).…”
