▎ 摘 要
Graphene oxide (GO)-MIL-101(Fe) (Fe-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with Fe(III) as the metal anode and 2-aminobenzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid as a ligand) sandwich composites are designed and fabricated through a facile in situ growth method. By modulating the addition amount of GO nanosheets, composites containing MIL-101(Fe) octahedrons with a tunable dimension and density are achieved. The optimized ratio between individual components is determined through adsorption experiments. Adsorption isotherms reveal an enhanced adsorption efficiency and improved adsorption capacity of GO15-MIL-101(Fe) (GO dosage is 15 mg) in comparison with raw MIL-101(Fe) nanocrystals. Experimental evidence indicates that the removal of U(VI) by the composite is based on inner-sphere surface complexation and electrostatic interaction. The improved adsorption performance originates from the optimized synergistic effects of GO and MIL-101(Fe) octahedrons. In summary, this work offers a facile synthetic method to achieve cost-effective composites towards the U(VI) capture. It also lays the foundation for the design of novel adsorbents with the full play of component's functionality.
