Synthesis of Metal Organic Framework Material MIL-101

Abstract

MIL-101 is a typical metal-organic framework. Mil-101, like the other metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is a material with high porosity, large surface area, adjustable micro-pore size, and easy functional structure. Contrary to the most MOFs, Mil-101 has a high hydrothermal stability. All of the characteristics collectively make MIL-101 a good candidate for a catalyst support. In this paper, the synthesis methods of MIL-101 materials have been reviewed. It is pointed out that the hydrothermal synthesis method has many problems such as complicated process, many organic waste liquid and low yield. The room temperature fast synthesis method has the potential to provide industrialized production of MIL-101 with its unique advantages.
