▎ 摘 要
This work details the synthesis, materials characterization and absorption capacity of graphene aerogel (GA) loaded with UiO-66-NH2 metal organic framework (MOF). A series of density-tunable MOF/GA composites were synthesized by adjusting the MOF/graphene oxide (GO) mass ratio of the precursors before hydrothermal reduction and subsequent critical point drying to achieve MOF-x%/GA composites, with x, ranging from 0 to 100, denoting the weight percent ratio of MOF to GO in the starting solution. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images and Barrett-Joyner-Halenda (BJH) pore size calculations supported that MOF loading enlarged the macroporous (>50 nm) structure of the GA framework but had no influence on the mesoporous (2-50 nm) structure of GA. The degree of MOF loading first decreased and then increased the density of resulting com-posites, exhibiting a minimum for the 10-30% samples. Such behavior with respect to MOF loading has not been reported previously. MOF-x%/GA samples were further investigated for absorption capacity using various organic liquids. MOF-30%/GA proved to be the best absorbent sample for all solvents tested, achieving the highest capacity for chloroform at 147.0 +/- 10.0 mg/mg. The behavior is attributed to the structural changes induced by the MOF incorporation as well as the interactions between the organic molecules and the MOF.
