Abstract

Nitrogen oxides (NO_x) are a group of gases causing adverse effects on human health as well as the environment. In this work, metal organic frameworks UiO-66-X (X = NH₂, OH, NO₂) and MOF-5 were synthesized by using solvothermal/hydrothermal methods. The obtained materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, BET specific surface area and elemental analysis by using the ICP–OES method. NO adsorption process at room temperature were monitored by using a micro-reactor set up connected to an online GC. The NO adsorption capacities of all materials were low, at less than 0.02 mmol/g. Therefore, these materials need to be improved in order to perform further studies.
