Metal-organic frameworks with enhanced CO2 capture ability Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • Reducing the anthropogenic emission of CO2 has recently become an all-around concern. Among several options, CO2 capture is a well-accepted solution. A variety of technologies/methods of CO2 capture have been developed, however the separation of CO2 from gas streams is still the biggest issue. In addition to various techniques, the exploration of capture materials with high separation ability and low cost are of paramount importance. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a new class of porous materials comprised of ordered networks formed by organic linkers bridging inorganic nodes are promising in CO2 capture. Herein we present an exploration of series of ionic MOFs with high porosity and tailored pore surface for enhanced CO2 separation performance. Synthesis, structural characterizations, and CO2 selective adsorption and separation of these MOFs have been performed. The high CO2 separation ability was evaluated by both experimental measurements and molecular simulations.
