Abstract

The materials Ag@MIL-100(Fe) and Ag@UIO-66(Zr) are obtained for the capture and transformation of CO2 into alkynyl carboxylic acids, which are environmental friendly, facile to synthesize, and exhibit excellent efficiency and reusability. The influence on the catalytic activity of such Ag@MOF systems by metal-organic frameworks' (MOFs) surface area, thermal, and chemical stability, especially the acid-base characteristics of the pores, are compared and discussed systematically.
