SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF METAL-ORGANIC FRAMEWORK Fe-MIL-101

Abstract

This paper presents the synthesis, structure, and morphology of the modified metal-organic framework Fe-MIL-101. The material was characterised using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), FT-IR spectra, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray photoelectron spectrum (XPS), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method for the specific surface area. The results showed that the obtained hybrid material Fe-MIL-101 with 10% replacement of iron has a homogeneous size with a typical octahedral structure, high crystallinity, and significant BET surface area of 2440 m².g^–1. The material is stable in nonpolar solvents and pH = 6.
