A versatile, industrially relevant, aqueous room temperature synthesis of HKUST-1 with high space-time yield

A facile aqueous room temperature synthesis method has been developed to synthesize HKUST-1 from nano-materials to micro- and hierarchical porous structures by tuning either the copper source or the reaction time. The synthesis is readily scalable, with space-time yield >2000 kg m−3 day−1.
