Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

The pre- and post-combustion carbon dioxide capture has drawn much attention in the past few decades owing to the increasing concentration of CO₂ in the atmosphere. Among all the potential solid adsorbents for CO₂ capture, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a promising class of materials due to their large surface areas, high tunability and their high selectivity for gas adsorption applications. It has been widely demonstrated that the application of high external pressure in gigapascal level can substantially tune the structure, pore size and opening of porous material. Consequently, the structural, as well as gas adsorption properties of these …
