In this paper, we study the existence and uniqueness of positive solutions for the following nonlinear fractional elliptic equation:
 $\begin{eqnarray*}(-Δ)^α u=λ a(x)u-b(x)u^p&\ \ \ {\rm in}\,\,\mathbb{R}^N, \end{eqnarray*}$
where $α∈(0, 1)$, $N≥ 2$, $λ >0$, $a$ and $b$ are positive smooth function in $\mathbb{R}^N$ satisfying
 $a\left( x \right) \to {a^\infty } > 0\;\;\;\;{\rm{and}}\;\;\;b\left( x \right) \to {b^\infty } > 0\;\;\;\;{\rm{as}}\;\;\;{\rm{|}}\mathit{x}{\rm{|}} \to \infty$
Our proof is based on a comparison principle and existence, uniqueness and asymptotic behaviors of various boundary blow-up solutions for a class of elliptic equations involving the fractional Laplacian.
