Abstract:
This research focuses on developing MIL-53-type compounds with Fe obtained with ligands derived from PET waste, followed by the controlled addition of hydrofluoric acid (HF). Incorporating HF into the MOF structure induced substantial changes in the material textural properties, resulting in a significant change in CO2 adsorption. Furthermore, a distinctive structural alteration (breathing effect) was observed in the CO2 isotherms at different temperatures; these structural changes have not been observed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) because this characterization has been performed at room temperature, whereas the adsorption experiments were conducted at 260, 273, and 303 K and different pressures. Subsequently, DFT studies were performed to investigate the CO2-filling mechanisms and elucidate the material respiration effect. This approach offers promising opportunities for sustainable materials with improved gas adsorption properties.
