针对金属有机框架(MOFs)在工业化应用中面临的高能耗与大量溶剂浪费这一关键瓶颈,本文报道了一种快速、绿色的机械化学合成策略,成功实现了高效CO2吸附剂UTSA-16(Zn)的宏量制备。与传统溶剂热法相比,该工艺将合成时间从48小时缩短至6小时,使时空产率提升了48倍,同时减少了约90%的溶剂消耗。研究发现,引入三乙胺作为碱调节剂,对于调控反应体系pH值、抑制缺陷形成及确保产物的高结晶度至关重要。所得材料的结构与水热法样品高度一致(BET比表面积达817m2/g),并完好保留了其优异的CO2捕获性能。在296 K下,材料的CO2吸附量达3.68 mmol/g,对CO2/N2混合气表现出388的超高IAST选择性。动态穿透实验进一步证实了该材料在模拟烟气条件下的卓越分离能力与循环稳定性。

Addressing the pressing challenge of high energy consumption and solvent waste in the industrial-scale production of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), we report a rapid, green, and scalable mechanochemical strategy for the mass preparation of the highly efficient CO2 adsorbent, UTSA-16(Zn). Unlike conventional solvothermal methods, this protocol using zinc acetate and potassium citrate dramatically shortens the synthesis time from 48 hours to just 6 hours. This achieves a remarkable 48-fold enhancement in space-time yield while reducing solvent consumption by approximately 90%. Crucially, we identify that the in-situ accumulation of acidic byproducts during grinding inhibits framework assembly. Precise pH modulation using 0.2 equivalents of triethylamine (TEA) is essential to buffer the reaction environment, preventing defect formation and ensuring high product crystallinity. The resulting material is structurally isomorphous to its hydrothermally synthesized counterpart, possessing a consistent pore environment with a high BET surface area of 817 m2/g. In terms of performance, the mechanochemically derived UTSA-16(Zn) exhibits exceptional CO2 uptake (3.68 mmol/g at 296 K and 1 atm) and an ultra-high IAST selectivity of 388 for CO2/N2 mixtures, driven by a significant difference in isosteric heat of adsorption. Dynamic breakthrough experiments further validate a robust dynamic capacity of 1.94 mmol/g and stable recyclability under simulated flue gas conditions. This work not only provides a practical manufacturing route for UTSA-16(Zn) but also underscores the pivotal role of pH regulation in the green synthesis of advanced porous materials.
