High-Pressure Studies Of Flexible Metal-Organic Frameworks And Their Performance For Co2 Adsorption Using Infrared Spectroscopy, Boqing Li
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline porous materials comprising metal ions/clusters and organic linkers. MOFs feature very large surface area and broad tunability, which distinguish them from traditional CO2 adsorbents. High external pressure can significantly modify the framework structures and CO2 adsorption properties of MOFs. MIL-53(Al) and NH2-MIL-53(Al) exhibit excellent CO2 affinity by forming hydrogen bonds between bridging OH groups and adsorbed CO2. We used in situ infrared spectroscopy to investigate the high-pressure performance of their framework structures and CO2 adsorption capacities. Diamond anvil cell was employed to apply high pressures in gigapascal …
