Hydrothermal Synthesis and Characterizations of MOF-199 Using Renewable Template

Abstract:

A three-dimensional (3D) copper-based metal-organic frameworks or MOF-199 were successfully synthesized by utilizing palm oil based fatty alcohols that acted as renewable template. The synthesis of MOF-199 employed different length of straight chain of fatty alcohols namely octyl, decyl, lauryl, myristyl and cetyl alcohols derived from palm oil using similar method to those reported earlier with some modifications. The microstructure of MOF-199 exhibited single particles with fine octahedral morphology at various particle sizes in the range of ca. 15-60 μm. The nitrogen adsorption isotherms were conducted to estimate the surface area and pore volume of the materials and were at ca. 400 – 1100 m²g^-1 and 0.17 – 0.43 mLg^-1 respectively. The surface area and pore volume of the materials decreased with longer straight chain fatty alcohol possibility due to mobility of the long carbon chain.
