The adsorption of CO 2 by conventional liquid alkanolamine adsorbents does not meet the requirements for green-friendly development in industrial applications. In this work, we constructed NH 2 -β-CD-MOF for the first time through the amino-functionalization of the lowest-priced, readily available, and biocompatible β-CD. Subsequently, the samples were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, elemental analysis, and N 2 adsorption/ desorption. The CO 2 adsorption capacity of NH 2 -β-CD-MOF was found to be 12.3 cm 3 /g, which is 10 times that of β-CD-MOF. In addition, NH 2 -β-CD-MOF has outstanding selective adsorption of CO 2 /N 2 (947.52) compared with the reported materials. The adsorption mechanism of CO 2 was analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Furthermore, we have found that NH 2 -β-CD-MOF has better water stability relative to β-CD-MOF and γ-CD-MOF, and it can be recycled by an ultrasonic method.
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.
