Key Points

This research aims to enhance hydrocarbon separation using modified UiO-66 frameworks.
Developed UiO-66-F₂(OH)₂ incorporating fluorine and hydroxyl groups.
Evaluated the chemical and thermal stability of the modified framework.
Conducted separation experiments for propylene and propane.
UiO-66-F₂(OH)₂ shows improved chemical stability compared to UiO-66.
Thermal stability is enhanced in the presence of fluorine.

Abstract

Zr-based metal–organic framework UiO-66 is an attractive platform for hydrocarbon separations due to its exceptional chemical and thermal stability. We report a new UiO-66 derivative, UiO-66-F₂(OH)₂, integrating fluorine and hydroxyl...
