Method for repairing metal organic framework material
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of metal organic framework materials, in particular to a method for repairing a metal organic framework material.
Background
Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), also known as Metal coordination polymers, are cubic network crystals formed by hybridization of inorganic Metal centers and Organic ligands through coordination bonds, and are a family of microporous/mesoporous materials emerging in recent years. The MOF has the advantages of large specific surface area, developed pore structure, good stability, adjustable pore channels, chemical modification according to target requirements and the like, so the MOF has wide application prospects in the fields of gas storage, gas adsorption and separation, selectivity, chiral catalysts and the like.
However, to date, no pilot scale or industrial scale application of MOF materials has been reported by other research teams, except for the pilot scale of Cu-based-metal organic framework (Cu-MOF) materials by BASF, germany. The key to hindering the industrial application of MOF materials is their poor hydrothermal stability. In the actual use process, the MOF is very easy to be attacked by water molecules in the environment, so that the coordination bonds are broken, and the framework structure is damaged.
The disposal of the waste MOF material is an urgent problem to be solved, the waste MOF material mainly comprises metal compounds and aromatic compounds, the recovery of the substances is difficult, and part of the components are toxic, so that the health of human bodies is harmed, for example, the disposal is not good, and secondary pollution to the environment is caused. Therefore, there is considerable interest in effectively recycling spent MOF materials.

CN104592255A discloses a method for repairing a copper-based-metal organic framework porous material. Putting the copper-based-metal organic framework porous material with the collapsed structure into a ball mill, and adding a repairing solvent for ball milling; and (4) taking out the solid material after ball milling and drying to obtain the repaired copper-based-metal organic framework porous material. The BET specific surface area of the copper-based-metal organic framework porous material repaired by the method can be recovered to 95% of that of a new HKUST-1 material at most, and the adsorption capacity of the copper-based-metal organic framework porous material can be recovered to 92% of that of the new HKUST-1 material at most. The method is efficient and green, but the properties of the MOF material can be changed greatly under the action of the ball milling mechanical force, such as the reduction of the size of crystals, the formation of defects on the surfaces of the crystals, the change of the overall structure of the crystals and the like, and the changes can influence the structural stability of the MOF material.
CN111410750A discloses a method for repairing a Co-MOF-71 metal organic framework. The method takes a collapsed Co-MOF-71 metal organic framework as a starting material, takes ligand terephthalic acid for synthesizing the Co-MOF-71 metal organic framework as a repairing agent, and preferably, the mass ratio of the collapsed Co-MOF-71 material to the repairing agent terephthalic acid is 1:0.1 to 1: and 0.4, taking N, N-dimethylformamide containing ethanol as a solvent, and recovering the collapsed Co-MOF-71 metal-organic framework to a shape consistent with the XRD characteristic peak of the fresh Co-MOF-71 material through solvent heat treatment. The repairing method is simple, but a large amount of expensive organic ligands need to be added, and the repaired Co-MOF-71 material is pyrolyzed to be used as a precursor of a Co-based catalyst for catalyzing the conversion of synthesis gas, so that the specific surface area and pore volume recovery condition of the material are not required, and the material is of great importance for the performance of the adsorbing material.

As can be seen from FIGS. 2 and 3, compared with the fresh Cu-MOF material (FIG. 2), the crystal size of the repaired Cu-MOF material sample B (FIG. 3) is not changed much, the crystal surface is smooth, and the original octahedral structure of the crystal is still maintained, i.e. the crystal structure of the Cu-MOF material is recovered to the maximum extent.
