The fungicide effect of HKUST-1 on Aspergillus niger, Fusarium solani and Penicillium chrysogenum

Abstract

We evaluated the fungicide effect of HKUST-1 and related materials on Aspergillus niger, Fusarium solani and Penicillium chrysogenum strains.

Synthesis and Characterization of an SWCNT@HKUST-1 Composite: Enhancing the CO2 Adsorption Properties of HKUST-1

“…The small diffraction reflection at 5.9° (2θ) which corresponds to the (111) reflection, where this variation has been also observed in a previous contribution, 6 that could be associated with the absence of solvent molecules in the HKUST-1 pores.…”

“…The second one exhibits Cu···Cu distances of 18.62 Å. Meanwhile, the smallest channel shows COO···COO distances of 15.89 Å . This suggests that HKUST-1 does not exhibit enough space to host SWCNT within its channels.…”

“…Meanwhile, the smallest channel shows COO···COO distances of 15.89 Å. 6 This suggests that HKUST-1 does not exhibit enough space to host SWCNT within its channels. A more plausible scenario is where SWCNTs could serve as a growing template or a crystallization seed for the HKUST-1.…”

“…The reported HKUST-1 structure comprises three different cavities, with the capability of interconnecting pores within the net, thus forming channels. The largest channel shows, vertex to vertex (of the cuboctahedral cavity), Cu−OH 6 This suggests that HKUST-1 does not exhibit enough space to host SWCNT within its channels. A more plausible scenario is where SWCNTs could serve as a growing template or a crystallization seed for the HKUST-1.…”

“…Its rigid porous open-framework exhibits bimodal pore size distribution and under the suitable activation conditions, it is possible to access the unsaturated metal sites [open metal sites (OMS)], , as water molecules can be removed to leave free sites in capped-octahedral Cu­(II) metal ions. HKUST-1 has been demonstrated to be a promising MOF material in a large number of applications − because of its high surface area and the accessibility to OMS. Among these, energy-related applications (from energy storage to transformation) hold the most studied and interesting research-field for HKUST-1 .…”
