This work details the synthesis, materials characterization and absorption capacity of graphene aerogel (GA) loaded with UiO-66-NH₂ metal organic framework (MOF). Throughout the study, a series of density-tunable MOF/GA composites were synthesized by adjusting the MOF/graphene oxide (GO) mass ratio of the precursors before hydrothermal reduction and subsequent critical point drying to achieve MOF-x%/GA composites, with x, ranging from 0 to 100, denoting the weight percent ratio of MOF to GO in the starting solution. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images and Barrett-Joyner-Halenda (BJH) pore size calculations supported that MOF loading enlarged the macroporous (>50 nm) structure of the GA framework but had no influence on the mesoporous (2–50 nm) structure of GA. The degree of MOF loading first decreased and then increased the density of resulting composites, exhibiting a minimum for the 10–30% samples. Such behavior with respect to MOF loading has not been reported previously. MOF-x%/GA samples were further investigated for absorption capacity using various organic liquids. MOF-30%/GA proved to be the best absorbent sample for all solvents tested, achieving the highest capacity for chloroform at 147.0 ± 10.0 mg/mg. The behavior is attributed to the structural changes induced by the MOF incorporation as well as the interactions between the organic molecules and the MOF.
