Abstract
Novel materials prepared by thermal transformation of the metal organic framework (MOF) precursors M-MIL-140C-10 (M= Ru, Rh, Pd and In) were studied for their activity as heterogeneous catalysts for the conversion of CO2 into organic chemicals and fuels. These MOFs were compositionally and morphologically transformed when heated in a mixture of CO2 and H2 (1:3). Transformation of Ru-MIL-140C-10 provided a material with exceptionally high activity for the conversion of CO2 to methane. TEM results show that the active form of the catalyst was a partially degraded (‘unzipped’) MOF structure where Ru0 and ZrO2 nanoparticles (2-3 nm diameter) were dispersed upon carbonaceous ribbons.
