Ammonia, a toxic gas, poses significant risks to human health and the environment. Developing cost- effective and eco-friendly adsorbents for ammonia capture is crucial. In this study, a La³⁺-based metal-organic framework {[La₄(QS)₆(H₂O)₆]·18H₂O}_n (MOF-LaQS) was synthesized via a simple low-temperature hydrothermal method using inexpensive 8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulfonic acid (H₂QS) as organic ligand. The material exhibited structural stability, low synthesis costs, and exceptional ammonia adsorption capacities of 228 cm³·g^-1 (10.2 mmol·g^-1) at 273 K (101 kPa) and 48 cm³·g^-1 (2.14 mmol·g^-1) at ultra-low pressure (0.101 kPa). In situ infrared spectroscopy and DFT calculations revealed that open La³⁺ sites are key to its ammonia adsorption, thereby elucidating the mechanism underlying its high ammonia uptake.
