Abstract:
In situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) spectroscopy was developed for the first time to observe the hydrogen isotope separation behavior at active CuI sites within CuI-MFU-4l, and clear evidence of the preferential adsorption of D2 over H2 was directly captured. More importantly, our results show direct spectral proof to clarify the chemical affinity quantum sieving mechanism of hydrogen isotope separation within porous adsorbents.
