Hydrogen Adsorption on Isoreticular Metal-Organic Framework

Loera-Serna S., López-Sosa S., Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, MX

Implement the use of hydrogen as an alternative energy source would reduce the use of fossil fuels, therefore it seeks to challenge any difficulty, mainly storage; an alternative of great interest is the use of [...]

Dyes Adsorption on Cu3(BTC)2 Metal-Organic Framework

Loera-Serna S., Garcia-Ortiz J., Garcia-Ortiz J., Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, MX

The present work suggests an alternative to the solution of environmental problems caused by the textile industry effluents, which contain natural dyes and non-biodegradable synthetic mostly. This solution is the use of porous metal-organic frameworks [...]

Luminiscent properties of europium-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate synthesized at room temperature

Loera-Serna S., Medina-Díaz J.C., Carmona Téllez S., Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, MX

For many years the lanthanides have been considered as a series of complex, difficult to understand elements, however, research on them has not been adequate. In view of the many properties that have, in the [...]

Structural and Luminescent properties of Europium benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate

Alejandre-Zuniga B.Y., Loera-Serna S., Medina-Velazquez D.Y., Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana-Azcapotzalco, MX

The increasing demand of optoelectronic devices requires the development of luminescent materials with high luminescence quantum efficiency and reduced energy consumption, to this organic matrix materials doped with rare earths offer an great alternative. The [...]

Retention of urea and caffeine on copper MOF

Zarate-Rubio J., Ortiz Elba, Solis Hugo, Medina-Velazquez D.Y., Loera-Serna S., Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana-Azcapotzalco, MX

The [Cu3(BTC)2] (BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate), also known as HKUST-1(or MOF-199), is one of the most cited metal-organic framework (MOF) because it has a large surface area, high pore volume, high chemical stability and also the [...]

Mexican natural zeolites: A low cost alternative to pigment retention

Loera-Serna S., Ortiz Elba, Solis Hugo, Medina-Velazquez D.Y., Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana-Azcapotzalco, MX

Several materials such as synthetic zeolites, clays and aluminas were studied as sorbent pigments. Majority of materials need pre-treatment to be capable to absorb molecules on the porous structure. These treatments include thermal treatment, washing [...]
