▎ 摘　　要

HKUST-1, a Cu-based metalorganic framework (MOF), was synthesized solvothermally, functionalized with polyethyleneimine (PEI), and hybridized with graphene oxide (GO) and functionalized GO for H2S removal. MOF synthesis approach, molecular weight of amines, and the content of GO in the hybrid adsorbents were systematically varied. The adsorbent materials were characterized by XRD, FTIR, SEM, elemental analysis, liquid N-2 adsorption-desorption, water vapor and oxygen sorption, and subsequently tested for H2S adsorption in a breakthrough column. The MOF in the composite adsorbents consisting of in-situ grown HKUST-1 on GO that was pre-functionalized with low molecular weight PEI exhibited the highest H2S adsorption uptake at ambient conditions (0.9 mmol S g(-1) MOF) in comparison to 0.5 mmol S g(-1) MOF for the parent HKUST-1, thus showing an 80 % increase in uptake, while this material also exhibited significantly enhanced sorption kinetics. H2S adsorption at higher temperature (150 degrees C) was also performed, and at this temperature a HKUST/GO hybrid adsorbent resulted in the highest MOF capacity, i.e. 2.1 mmol S g(-1) MOF, which is 27 % higher than that of the parent MOF at the same conditions. Formation of hybrid adsorbents with GO coupled to tunable functionalization of both GO support and the MOF crystallites can contribute in optimizing H2S capture performance of MOFs.
