A Cage-based Porous Metal-organic Framework for Efficient C₂H₂ Storage and Separation

Abstract

Exploring the application potentials of metal-organic frameworks(MOFs) in the field of light hydrocarbons storage and separation is of great significance for solving the critical energy problem. However, designing porous materials with efficient separation capacity is still a challenging task. In this work, we synthesized a cage-based porous materiel(FJI-H32) with a large surface area. After activation, FJI-H32 exhibits the feature of high C₂H₂ storage capacity(113 cm³/g) and promising C₂H₂/CO₂ separation ability at 298 K and under 100 kPa. More importantly, the C₂H₂/CO₂ separation was verified by actual breakthrough experiments.
