Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Supramolecular Chemistry
  • Chemical Engineering

Background:

  • Controlling material properties via phase transitions without chemical modification offers new possibilities.
  • Existing state-changing microporous materials often lose porosity during phase transitions like liquefaction or amorphization.
  • Developing materials with reversible phases while preserving porosity remains a significant challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize metal-organic polyhedra (MOPs) capable of reversible phase interconversion (liquid-glass-crystal) while maintaining permanent microporosity.
  • To demonstrate the processability of these MOPs for creating functional materials, specifically gas separation membranes.
  • To investigate the tunable separation properties of membranes fabricated from these phase-changing MOPs.

Main Methods:

  • A modular synthetic approach was employed to create MOPs.
  • Permanent microporosity was integrated into the core MOP cavity.
  • Tethered polymers were incorporated to control the phase transition behavior.
  • Gas separation membranes were fabricated from the synthesized MOPs.

Main Results:

  • Metal-organic polyhedra (MOPs) were successfully synthesized exhibiting reversible interconversion between liquid, glass, and crystal phases.
  • The MOPs maintained permanent microporosity across different phases.
  • Fabricated membranes demonstrated tunable gas permeability and selectivity by switching the MOPs' state.
  • The liquid MOP membrane showed enhanced selectivity for CO2 over H2 with improved permeability compared to conventional porous membranes.

Conclusions:

  • The developed MOPs offer a novel platform for creating materials with switchable properties.
  • These materials overcome the challenge of porosity loss during phase transitions.
  • The tunable nature of these MOP-based membranes holds promise for advanced gas separation applications, particularly for CO2 capture.
