TI Gamma radiation induced modification in metal-organic framework: a case study EA MAR 2024
AB In the present manuscript, we report the synthesis of Zn-BDC MOF using a modified solvothermal method. As synthesized Zn-BDC MOF is exposed to gamma (gamma) radiation doses, the dose exposure is between 0 and 50 kGy. It is observed that gamma radiations are probably absorbed by zinc metal, and due to adsorption of gamma the structure of the MOF is not changing, which suggests that the MOF structure regains its structural stability at higher gamma radiation doses. Further, for the first time, we reported that the stability of Zn-BDC MOF is up to 35 kGy, it has been observed that, there is an irradiation effect on the higher porosity of MOF. The present findings strongly suggest the radiation-sensitive nature of Zn-BDC MOF.
