Tailoring hierarchical porosity in UiO-66-(COOH)₂ xerogels: unraveling the enhanced adsorption mechanism for U(VI) and Cu(II) ions
Key Points
This study shows enhanced adsorption of U(VI) and Cu(II) ions due to tailored hierarchical porosity in UiO-66-(COOH)₂ xerogels, indicating better ion capture efficiency.
The maximum adsorption capacity reached 171 mg/g for U(VI) and 154 mg/g for Cu(II), highlighting the effectiveness of these modified xerogels in ion adsorption.
Assessment using a controlled experiment demonstrated the adsorption mechanisms underlying the improved performance of these porous materials in ion removal.
These findings support the development of advanced materials for environmental remediation, showing potential for practical applications in water treatment.
