Abstract:

Alkali-metal modified metal organic frameworks MOF-5(denoted by M-MOF-5, M=Li, Na, K, Mg) were prepared by ‘one-step’ synthesis. The theoretical calculation(IAST, ideal adsorbed solution theory) was performed to compare the adsorption selectivity of materials. It is found that alkali-metal incorporated MOF-5 can reduce the interpenetration level of MOF-5 framework. The experiment results also show that M-MOF-5 can significantly improve the CO2/CH4 adsorption selectivity compared to MOF-5(3.79), especially Li-MOF-5(7.39) at ambient conditions. Furthermore, the CO2 capacity of Li-MOF-5 is also enhanced.
