Thermal Cycling of a MOF-Based NO Disproportionation Catalyst
Ashley M. Wright, Chenyue Sun, Mircea Dincă
Abstract
The metal–organic framework CuI-MFU-4l reacts with NO, initially forming a copper(I)-nitrosyl at low pressure, and subsequently generates NO disproportionation products CuII–NO2 and N2O. The thermal stability of MFU-4l allows NOx to be released from the framework at temperatures greater than 200 °C. This treatment regenerates the original CuI-MFU-4l, which can engage in subsequent cycles of NO disproportionation.
