Description

Key Properties & Advantages
UIO-66-NH???s versatility stems from its unique combination of UIO-66??s inherent strengths and amino-mediated functionality:

Inherited UIO-66 Stability: Retains the series?? signature thermal and chemical resilience??withstands temperatures up to 380??C (under inert conditions) and resists degradation in acids, bases, and organic solvents, ensuring durability in harsh operational environments.
Ordered Porous Structure: Maintains a well-defined 3D porous network with a large BET surface area (typically 750?C1050 m2/g) and uniform pore size (~1.0 nm), providing abundant space for molecular adsorption and reaction.
Amino-Enhanced Surface Reactivity: The introduced -NH? groups deliver:
Improved Hydrophilicity: Enhances interactions with polar molecules (e.g., water, CO?, alcohols), critical for aqueous-phase applications.
Strong Molecular Recognition: Enables selective binding with acidic or electrophilic molecules via hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interactions, or covalent coupling (e.g., Schiff base formation).
Catalytic Active Sites: Serves as a base catalyst or a platform for metal ion coordination, boosting activity in organic synthesis and CO? conversion.
Batch-to-Batch Consistency: KAR-F30-NH? ensures minimal variation in key properties (surface area, porosity, amino group density), a vital advantage for scaling from lab research to industrial processes.
Applications
CO? Capture & Gas Separation
Selective CO? Adsorption: Amino groups strongly interact with CO? via acid-base interactions, enabling efficient capture from flue gases, biogas, or ambient air. Its stability allows for repeated adsorption-desorption cycles, supporting energy-efficient carbon capture systems.
Gas Mixture Separation: Enhances selectivity for CO? over N?, CH?, or H? in mixed streams, critical for natural gas purification and hydrogen fuel processing.
Organic Catalysis
Base-Catalyzed Reactions: Amino groups act as active sites for reactions like Knoevenagel condensation, Michael addition, and transesterification, eliminating the need for toxic homogeneous bases.
Metal-Organic Catalyst Support: Coordinates with metal ions (e.g., Cu2?, Ni2?) to form stable catalytic complexes, enhancing activity in hydrogenation, oxidation, and CO? conversion reactions.
Heavy Metal Ion Adsorption
Water Purification: Amino groups chelate with heavy metal ions (e.g., Hg2?, Cd2?, Pb2?) via donor-acceptor interactions, enabling efficient removal of toxic contaminants from wastewater. Its high surface area and stability ensure reusable performance.
Drug Delivery Systems
Controlled Release Platforms: The porous structure encapsulates drug molecules, while amino groups enable pH-responsive release (triggered by acidic tumor microenvironments) and bioconjugation with targeting ligands (e.g., antibodies). Its biocompatible zirconium framework minimizes toxicity, supporting safe biomedical applications.
