Modification Effects of B2O3 on The Structure and Catalytic Activity of WO3-UiO-66 Catalyst
Tungsten oxide (WO3) and boron oxide (B2O3) were irreversibly encapsulated into the nanocages of the Zr-based metal organic framework UiO-66, affording a hybrid material B2O3-WO3/UiO-66 by a simple microwave-assisted deposition method. The novel B2O3-WO3/UiO-66 material was systematically characteri...
