Abstract:

A research-type comprehensive experiment, which involves synthesis, characterization and application study of metal-organic framework (MOFs) nanocrystals, was introduced. A creative strategy was used to prepare metal-organic framework nanocrystals with smallest particle size amongst published MOFs. The essential characterization methods for nanomaterial and adsorption kinetics study were presented so that the students can get knowledge of the research in the nanomaterial field. The experiment system can serve to stimulate students' interest in scientific research and innovation consciousness and train students' chemical thoughts by analysis of the results from different react conditions.

Key words: Metal-organic framework nanocrystals, Ultrasonic synthesis, Kinetics of dye adsorption, Experimental design
