Abstract

CO2 capture is one of the key technologies for dealing with the global warming and implementing low-carbon development strategy. The emergence of ionic metal-organic frameworks (I-MOFs) has diversified the field of porous materials, which have been extensively applied for gas adsorption and separation. In this work, amino-functionalized imidazolium ionic liquid as organic monodentate ligand was used for one step synthesis microporous Cu based I-MOFs. Precise tuning of the adsorption properties was obtained by incorporating aromatic anions, such as phenoxy, benzene carboxyl, and benzene sulfonic acid group into the I-MOFs via a facile ion exchange method. The new I-MOFs showed high thermal stability and high capacity of 5.4 mmol·g–1 under atmospheric conditions for selective adsorption of CO2. The active sites of microporous Cu-MOF are the ion basic center and unsaturated metal, and electrostatic attraction and hydroxyl bonding between CO2 and modified functional sulfonic groups are responsible for the adsorption. This work provides a feasible strategy for the design of I-MOF for functional gas capture.
