bio-MOF-11 was characterized by XRD (D8 ADVANCE, Bruker AXS GmbH,
Germany). The morphology was observed through SEM (Verios XHR 460,
FEI Co., USA). The chemical composition of bio-MOF-11 was determined
via elemental analysis for C, H, and N (2400 Series II CHNS/O Analyzer,
PerkinElmer Inc., USA) and the surface chemistry via FTIR (Spectrum
100 FTIR Spectrometer, PerkinElmer Inc., USA). The textural properties
of bio-MOF-11 were estimated by N2 adsorption–desorption
at 77 K with a gas adsorption analyzer (JW-BK132Z, JWGB SCI. &
TECH. Inc., China). Based on the isotherm, the specific surface area
(SBET), total pore volume (V), and micropore volume (Vmicro) were
calculated via methods as described in our previous work.48 (link) The micro- and meso-PSD curves were estimated
from the desorption data with density functional theory and the Barrett–Joyner–Halenda
method, respectively. Thermal characteristics were obtained using
a TG analyzer (SDT Q600, Waters Corp., USA) under Ar flow (20 mL/min)
at 10 K/min, with the DTG curve obtained simultaneously.
