Abstract

HKUST-1, is one of the most expansively studied MOFs, however, synthesis
method for obtaining optimum surface area for CO2 capture is yet to be
reported.Thus, in the present work, thermally treated HKUST-1 was synthesized
with different procedure and was further thermally treated at 160°C and 200°C from
each parent sample respectively. Each procedure differs by the solvent used to
synthesized HKUST-1 which are polar protic solvent; ethanol and water and polar
aprotic solvents; DMF. Each sample was further characterized accordingly for
surface area and morphology. For the surface area, HKUST-1 that was synthesized
with polar aprotic solvents thermally treated at 200°C shows the highest surface area
which is 1443.12 m2 g-1 followed by HKUST-1 which was synthesized with polar
protic solvents shows 1200.93 m2 g-1 .
