Preparation of Porous Liquid Based on Silicalite-1

Solid porous materials, like zeolites, have been widely used in a variety of fields such as size-and-shape-selective absorption/separation and catalysis because of their porosity. However, there are few liquid materials that exhibit permanent porosity. Porous liquids are a novel material that combine the properties of fluidity and permanent porosity. They have potential applications in many fields such as gas separation, storage and transport. Herein, we report a novel Type 1 porous liquid prepared based on silicalite-1. The pore size of this porous liquid was determined by positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS), and the CO₂ capacities were determined by the intelligent gravimetric analyzer (IGA). The unique properties of this porous liquid can promote its application in many fields such as gas storage and transport.
