A step-by-step self-assembly and concurrent self-etching strategy that differs from previous methods used to prepare SiO2@UiO-66-NH2 hollow composite has been reported. The magnetic core was selectively etched to generate a hollow metal-organic framework superstructure. The physical and chemical properties were characterized by TEM and SEM techniques, composition by SEM-EDX. Benefit from the efficient mass transfer and enhanced active sites accessibility, the hollow SiO2@UiO-66-NH2 composite showed higher or comparable catalytic activity than the nano-sized UiO-66-NH2 in the Knoevenagel condensation as a solid basic catalyst. Furthermore, it could be recovered and stable in terms of activity and structure when recycled for at least four times. |
