Optimal Polyethyleneimine Molecular Weight and Arrangement for Modification of γ-Cyclodextrin Metal Organic Frameworks (γ-CD-MOFs) for Post-Combustion CO2 Capture

Polyethyleneimine Incorporated Metal-Organic Frameworks Adsorbent for Highly Selective CO2 Capture

A series of polyethyleneimine (PEI) incorporated MIL-101 adsorbents with different PEI loadings were reported for the first time in the present work. Although the surface area and pore volume of MIL-101 decreased significantly after loading PEI, all the resulting composites exhibited dramatically enhanced CO2 adsorption capacity at low pressures. At 100 wt% PEI loading, the CO2 adsorption capac...

Ligand-assisted enhancement of CO2 capture in metal-organic frameworks.

Using density functional theory with a van der Waals-corrected functional, we elucidate how CO(2) binds to a novel "BTT-type" metal-organic framework (MOF) featuring open metal centers. We show that CO(2) binds most favorably to open metal cation sites, but with an adsorption energy that can be three times more sensitive to the choice of the bridging ligand than to metal cation choice. A strong...

γ-CD-Functionalized TiO2 Nanoparticles For the Photocatalytic Degradation of Organic Dyes

In this work, an efficient photocatalyst based on gamma-cyclodextrin-modified titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2/γ-CD NPs) was synthesized and used for photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B (RhB), methyl orange (MO) and methylene blue (MB). The results of FESEM, EDX, TEM, FT-IR, XRD and BET surface area measurement showed that the TiO2 NPs were effectively modifi...

Metal-Organic Frameworks for CO2 Chemical Transformations.

Carbon dioxide (CO2 ), as the primary greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, triggers a series of environmental and energy related problems in the world. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop multiple methods to capture and convert CO2 into useful chemical products, which can significantly improve the environment and promote sustainable development. Over the past several decades, metal-organ...
