Abstract
AbstractWe report an efficient protocol for the synthesis of monodisperse crystals of an aluminum (Al)‐based metal organic framework (MOF) while obtaining excellent control over the size and shape solely by tuning of the reaction parameters without the use of a template or structure‐directing agent. The size of the hexagonal crystals of the Al‐MOF can be selectively varied from 100 nm to 2000 nm by simply changing the reaction time and temperature via its nucleation‐growth mechanism. We also report a self‐assembly phenomenon, observed for the first time in case of Al‐MOF, whereby hollow spheres of Al‐MOF were formed by the spontaneous organization of triangular sheet building blocks. These MOFs showed broad hysteresis loops during the CO2 capture, indicating that the adsorbed CO2 is not immediately desorbed upon decreasing the external pressure and is instead confined within the framework, which allows for the capture and subsequent selective trapping of CO2 from gaseous mixtures.
