Microwave‐Assisted Rapid Substitution of Ti for Zr to Produce Bimetallic (Zr/Ti)UiO‐66‐NH2 with Congenetic “Shell–Core” Structure for Enhancing Photocatalytic Removal of Nitric Oxide (Small 20/2023)

Abstract

Bimetallic MOF Photocatalysts Ti atoms rapidly replace Zr atoms in UiO-66-NH2 crystal under microwave irradiation. The formed congenetic “shell-core” structure and the introduced electron acceptor, Ti, enhance the photocatalytic nitric oxide (NO) removal. Furthermore, the synergy of NO photooxidation and subsequent NO2 adsorption not only removes NO efficiently in an environmentally friendly fashion, but also provides raw NO2 safely and economically to industry.
