Abstract

Defective metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown great potential for catalysis due to abundant active sites and adjustable physical and chemical properties. A series of Ce-based MOFs with different defect contents were synthesized via a modulator-induced defect engineering strategy with the aid of the cell pulverization technique. The effects of modulators on the pore structure, morphology, valence distribution of Ce, and Lewis acidity of Ce-MOF-801 were systematically investigated. Among the different samples studied, the optimal Ce-MOF-801-50eq sample exhibited remarkable catalytic activity for DCPD hydrogenation, achieving a conversion rate of 100%, which is significantly higher compared to other Ce-MOF-801-neq samples as well as the Zr-MOF-801-50eq and Hf-MOF-801-50eq samples. The enhanced catalytic performance of Ce-MOF-801-50eq can be attributed to advantages provided by defect engineering, such as the high specific surface area, proper pore size distribution, abundant unsaturated metal sites, and Ce3+/Ce4+ atom ratio, which have been supported by various characterizations. This study provides important insights into the rational design of Ce-MOFs in the field of catalytic DCPD hydrogenation.
