Investigations Of The High Pressure Effects On Structural Properties And Co2 Adsorption Performance Of Mofs Using Vibrational Spectroscopy, Shan Jiang
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 …
In Situ High-Pressure Study Of Metal-Organic Frameworks And Their Performance For Co2 Storage Probed By Vibrational Spectroscopy, Yue Hu
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are an important class of porous materials, owing to their potential applications in a variety of areas, including gas storage, molecular separations, catalysis, sensors and so on. Most importantly, their extraordinary surface areas, tunable pore properties and potential for industrial scale production have made MOFs a promising material for clean energy applications, such as CO2 storage. The chemical and mechanical stabilities of MOFs play a crucial role in their CO2 storage performance, which require extreme loading pressures that are far beyond ambient pressure at times. Application of high external pressure (e.g., in gigapascal range) on …
