Carbon Dioxide Capture Chemistry of Amino Acid Functionalized Metal-Organic Frameworks in Humid Flue Gas

Hao Lyu et al.

Summary: Functionalization of metal-organic framework-808 (MOF-808) with 11 amino acids (AA) led to the synthesis of a series of MOF-808-AA structures. Among them, glycine- and DL-lysine-functionalized MOF-808 showed the highest CO2 uptake capacities under flue gas conditions. The presence of water was found to enhance CO2 capture performance, and the mechanism of CO2 capture was attributed to the formation of bicarbonate. Furthermore, the performance of MOF-808-Gly in simulated coal flue gas conditions was examined, demonstrating the possibility of capturing and releasing CO2 through vacuum swing adsorption.

Ming Xu et al.

Summary: In this study, a linker scissoring strategy was demonstrated to precisely shape metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) by using bidentate linkers as covering agents.

Separation of Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Porous Materials

Karam B. Idrees et al.

Summary: Industrial-scale thermal separation processes contribute to the increase in carbon dioxide emissions. Porous materials, like metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), can potentially reduce these emissions by achieving nonthermal chemical separations through the physical adsorption of target species. This study focuses on the synthesis of channel-based MOFs NU-2000 and NU-2001, which can separate industrially relevant xylene isomers under ambient conditions due to sub-angstrom size differences. By increasing the linker dimensionality from 2D to 3D, precise control of MOF pore size and aperture can be achieved, independent of linker orientation.
