A STUDY ON HYDROTHERMAL SYNTHESIS OF METAL–ORGANIC FRAMEWORK MIL-101

<p>In the present paper, a synthesis of MIL-101 by hydrothermal process was demonstrated. The obtained samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms at 77K, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results showed that MIL-101 synthesized by optimal conditions exhibited high crystallinity and surface area. The obtained MIL-101 possesses high stability in water and several organic solvents.</p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> MIL-101, hydrothermal synthesis, metal organic framework-101. </p>
