Modulation of driving forces fo UiO-66 analog adsorbents by decoration with amino functional groups: Superior adsorption of hazardous dyes

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising adsorbents that can be improved for practical applications by functionalization. Herein, we report UiO-66-NH2, an amino-modified MOF with a superior toxic dye adsorption performance. Uncoordinated –NH2 groups were successfully introduced into the UiO-66 framework to modulate the adsorption driving forces between toxic organic dyes and the UiO-66-NH2 adsorbent by varying the molar ratios of the...
