A new class of porous materials for efficient CO2 separation: Ionic liquid/graphene aerogel composites

Surface composites: A new class of engineered materials

To integrate irreconcilable material properties into a single component, a new class of engineered materials termed “surface composites” has been developed. In this engineered material, the second phase is spatially distributed in the near surface regions, such that the phase composition is linearly graded as a function of distance from the surface. Surface composites are different from existin...

Metal–organic frameworks: a new class of porous materials

A review of the synthesis, structure, and properties of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) is presented, highlighting the important advances in their research over the past decade. This new class of porous materials is attracting attention due to demonstrations of their large pore sizes, high apparent surface areas, selective uptake of small molecules, and optical or magnetic responses to the incl...

Ionic Conductor Composites: Theory and Materials

The main theoretical concepts on ionic conduction at interfaces, especially the space charge layer model, are summarized in the ®rst part of this review: ion trapping or redistribution leads to charge carrier accumulation, depletion or inversion and, consequently, to conductivity changes in composite materials. Experimental con®rmations of the space charge layer model and the complementary perc...

CO2 Separation and Capture Properties of Porous Carbonaceous Materials from Leather Residues

Carbonaceous porous materials derived from leather skin residues have been found to have excellent CO₂ adsorption properties, with interestingly high gas selectivities for CO₂ (α > 200 at a gas composition of 15% CO₂/85% N₂, 273K, 1 bar) and capacities (>2 mmol·g-1 at 273 K). Both CO₂ isotherms and the high heat of adsorption pointed to the presence of strong binding sites for CO₂ which may be ...
