HIGHLY SELECTIVE ADSORPTION AND SEPARATION OF ENERGY-RELATED GASES ON SOFT METAL-ORGANIC FRAMEWORKS

摘要

The discovery of a new nanoporous compound that has unique porous properties is scientifically and technologically topical. The creation of a porous compound that can effectively separate small molecules that are in gas phase at standard temperature and pressure is currently one of major challenges in material science. In particular, the separation and purification of energy-related gases such as hydrocarbons, oxygen, carbon monooxide etc. are getting more important because of the strong social demands of the environmental sustainability. The recent advent of porous coordination polymers (PCPs) or metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as new crystalline microporous compounds, has attracted the attention of scientists because of the great practicality of regular nano-sized spaces.
