Abstract
Abstract A series of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) modulated metal-organic frameworks UiO-66 catalysts were synthesized for the direct synthesis of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) from CO2 and methanol in this work. Characterization results show that the surface area, pore size, pore volume as well as the amount of missing-linker defects, Lewis acid site, Lewis basic site and hydroxyl of UiO-66-X can be tuned by regulating the amount of TFA modulator. Catalytic activity assessments reveal that TFA modulation enhanced the activity of UiO-66-X. The catalytic activity improvement of the UiO-66-X could be attributed to the increased amount of active sites and the enlargement of porosity originated from TFA modulation. Moreover, a possible reaction mechanism for DMC synthesis from CO2 and methanol over UiO-66-X was proposed based on the in situ FT-IR results.
