Abstract
The global need for bromide ions (Br-) has driven the research focus to extract them from various liquid ores. Highly efficient and selective adsorbent is still lacking. MOF with large surface area and structural stability are promising candidate for Br- extraction. In this work, we prepared Cu-MOF-74 nanocrystals. Abundant hydroxyl groups on them spontaneously reduced Ag+ to Ag0 nanoparticles, resulting in the fabrication of Ag0 doped Cu-MOF-74. The crystalline structure retains after the doping of Ag0 when the mass ratio of silver nitrate to MOF is <0.5. The crystals are distorted or even damaged when the ratio is higher than 1.0 according to XRD and DFT calculation. The adsorption capacity of Ag3-Cu-MOF-74 is 232.92 mg g-1, surpassing the capacities of most previously documented adsorbents. The desorption of Br- and thereafter the recovery of adsorbent could be realized through light driven decomposition of AgBr. This MOF adsorbent shows promising application potential in Br- recovery from various liquid ores.
