Abstract:
The excessive use of fossil energy has caused the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere to increase year by year. MOFs are ideal CO2 adsorbents that can be used in CO2 capture due to their excellent characteristics. Studies of the structure-activity relationship between the small structural differences in MOFs and the CO2 adsorption capacities are helpful for the development of efficient MOF-based CO2 adsorbents. Therefore, a series of pillar-layered MOFs with similar structural and different functional groups were designed and synthesized. The CO2 adsorption tests were carried out at 273 K to explore the relationship between the small structural differences in MOFs caused by different functional groups and the CO2 adsorption capacities. Significantly, compound 6 which contains a pyridazinyl group has a 30.9% increase in CO2 adsorption capacity compared to compound 1 with no functionalized group.
