Direct synthesis of amine-functionalized MIL-101(Cr) nanoparticles and application for CO2 capture

A pure amine-functionalized MIL-101(Cr) has been synthesized for the first time by a simple method. The as-prepared nanoparticles are around 50 nm. In addition, the resulting amine-functionalized MIL-101(Cr) displayed excellent CO2 adsorption capacity, up to 15 mmol g−1 at 16 °C.
