Precious metals such as palladium (Pd) and platinum (Pt) are marvelous materials in the fields of electronic and catalysis, but they are tapering day by day. Zr(IV)-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are competent for their recovery, notably in harsh environments, while the general powder form limits their practical application. Porous MOF-based membranes with ultraefficient metal ion permeation, strong stability, and high selectivity are, therefore, strikingly preferred. Herein, a set of polymeric fibrous membranes incorporated with the UiO-66 series are fabricated; their adsorption/desorption capabilities toward Pd(II) and Pt(IV) are evaluated from strongly acidic solutions; and the MOF-polymer compatibilities are investigated. Polyurethane (PU)/UiO-66-NH showed strong acid resistance and high chemical stability, which are attributable to strong π-π interactions between PU and MOF nanoparticles with a high configuration of energy. The as-fabricated MOF membranes show extremely good adsorption/desorption performances without ruptures/coalitions of nanofibers or leak of MOF nanoparticles, and successfully display the efficacy in a gravity-driven or even continuous-flow system with good recycle performance and selectivity. The as-fabricated MOF membranes set an example of potential MOF-polymer compatibility for practical applications.
钯(Pd)和铂(Pt)等贵金属是电子和催化领域的优良材料,但它们的储量日益减少。基于锆(IV)的金属有机框架(MOF)能够回收这些贵金属,特别是在恶劣环境中,然而一般的粉末形式限制了它们的实际应用。因此,具有超高效金属离子渗透、强稳定性和高选择性的多孔MOF基膜备受青睐。在此,制备了一组包含UiO-66系列的聚合物纤维膜;从强酸性溶液中评估了它们对Pd(II)和Pt(IV)的吸附/解吸能力;并研究了MOF与聚合物的相容性。聚氨酯(PU)/UiO-66-NH表现出很强的耐酸性和高化学稳定性,这归因于PU与具有高能量构型的MOF纳米颗粒之间的强π-π相互作用。所制备的MOF膜表现出极佳的吸附/解吸性能,纳米纤维没有破裂/团聚,MOF纳米颗粒也没有泄漏,并成功地在重力驱动甚至连续流系统中显示出效果,具有良好的循环性能和选择性。所制备的MOF膜为实际应用中潜在的MOF-聚合物相容性树立了典范。
