Overview

A new synthesis method improved UiO-66 production using water instead of toxic solvents, indicating potential for large-scale applications.

Key Points

  • The water-based method for synthesising UiO-66 avoids the use of toxic solvents like DMF, improving safety and cost.
  • Optimisation with 15 molar equivalents of hydrochloric acid promotes effective hydrolysis and crystallisation.
  • Utilising dimethylterephthalate from recycled PET enhances sustainability in the production of metal-organic frameworks.
  • The process achieves high porosity and crystallinity within 2 hours, demonstrating efficient synthesis suitable for scaling up.
