Metal−organic frameworks MIL-53(Al)-TDC and MIL-53(Al)-BDC were explored in the SO 2 adsorption process. MIL-53(Al)-TDC was shown to behave as a rigid-like material upon SO 2 adsorption. On the other hand, MIL-53(Al)-BDC exhibits guest-induced flexibility of the framework with the presence of multiple steps in the SO 2 adsorption isotherm that was related through molecular simulations to the existence of three different pore opening phases narrow pore, intermediate pore, and large pore. Both materials proved to be exceptional candidates for SO 2 capture, even under wet conditions, with excellent SO 2 adsorption, good cycling, chemical stability, and easy regeneration. Further, we propose MIL-53(Al)-TDC and MIL-53(A)-BDC of potential interest for SO 2 sensing and SO 2 storage/transportation, respectively.
MFM-300(Sc) was demonstrated to be an optimal adsorbent for SO2 capture combining high uptake, good stability and excellent cyclability (facile regeneration at only room temperature). A drastic enhancement on its SO2 uptake (40%) was achieved when a small amount of EtOH was preliminary adsorbed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
