Carbon Dioxide Capture on Metal-organic Frameworks with Amide-decorated Pores

CO2 is the main greenhouse gas emitted from the combustion of fossil fuels and is considered a threat in the context of global warming. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) schemes embody a group of technologies for the capture of CO2 from power plants, followed by compression, transport, and permanent storage. Key advances in recent years include the further development of ne...

Effect of the pillar ligand on preventing agglomeration of ZnO nanoparticles prepared from Zn(II) metal-organic frameworks

Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) represent a new class of highly porous materials. On this regard,  two nano porous metal-organic frameworks of [Zn2(1,4-bdc)2(H2O)2∙(DMF)2]n (1) and [Zn2(1,4-bdc)2(dabco)]·4DMF·1⁄2H2O (2), (1,4-bdc = benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate, dabco = 1,4-diaza...

Carbon dioxide capture in metal-organic frameworks.

Efforts to utilize metal-organic frameworks, a new class of materials exhibiting high surface areas, tunable pore dimensions, and adjustable surface functionality, for CO2 capture will be presented. Open metal coordination sites on the framework surface can deliver a high CO2 loading capacity at low pressures. However, additional criteria such as water stability and the selective binding of CO2...

A MOF platform for incorporation of complementary organic motifs for CO2 binding.

CO2 capture is essential for reducing the carbon footprint of coal-fired power plants. Here we show, both experimentally and computationally, a new design strategy for capturing CO2 in nanoporous adsorbents. The approach involves 'complementary organic motifs' (COMs), which have a precise alignment of charge densities that is complementary to the CO2 quadrupole. Two promising COMs were post-syn...
