Abstract

Hollow multi-shell mesoporous metal–organic framework (MOF) particles with accessible compartmentalization environments, plentiful heterogeneous interfaces, and abundant framework diversity are expected to hold great potential for catalysis, energy conversion, and biotechnology. However, their synthetic methodology has not yet been established. In this work, a facile dual-template-directed successive assembly approach has been developed for the preparation of monodisperse hollow multi-shell mesoporous MOF (UiO-66-NH2) particles through one-step selective etching of successively grown multi-layer MOFs with alternating two types of mesostructured layers. This strategy enables the preparation of hollow multi-shell mesoporous UiO-66-NH2 nanostructures with controllable shell numbers, accessible mesochannels, large pore volume, tunable shell thickness and chamber sizes. The methodology relies on creating multiple alternating layers of two different mesostructured MOFs via dual-template-directed successive assembly and their difference in framework stability upon chemical etching. Benefiting from the highly accessible Lewis acidic sites and the accumulation of reactants within the multi-compartment architecture, the resultant hollow multi-shell mesoporous UiO-66-NH2 particles exhibit enhanced catalytic activity for CO2 cycloaddition reaction. The dual-template-directed successive assembly strategy paves the way toward the rational construction of elaborate hierarchical MOF nanoarchitectures with specific physical and chemical features for different applications.
