This study presents the encapsulation of two amino acid-based ionic liquids (AAILs), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium glycine [Emim][Gly] and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium alanine [Emim][Ala], in a highly porous metal-organic framework (MOF-177) to generate state-of-the-art composites for post-combustion CO capture. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) demonstrated a successful encapsulation of the AAILs, with a dramatic reduction in the composites' surface areas and pore volumes. Both [Emim][Gly]@MOF-177 and [Emim][Ala]@MOF-177 had close to three times the CO uptake of MOF-177 at 20 wt.% loading, 0.2 bar, and 303 K. Additionally, 20-[Emim][Gly]@MOF-177 and 20-[Emim] [Ala]@MOF-177 enhanced their CO/N selectivity from 5 (pristine MOF-177) to 13 and 11, respectively.
本研究展示了将两种基于氨基酸的离子液体(AAILs),即1-乙基-3-甲基咪唑鎓甘氨酸[Emim][Gly]和1-乙基-3-甲基咪唑鎓丙氨酸[Emim][Ala],封装在高度多孔的金属有机框架(MOF-177)中,以制备用于燃烧后二氧化碳捕集的先进复合材料。热重分析(TGA)表明AAILs成功封装,复合材料的表面积和孔体积显著减小。在20 wt.%负载量、0.2 bar和303 K条件下,[Emim][Gly]@MOF-177和[Emim][Ala]@MOF-177的二氧化碳吸收量均接近MOF-177的三倍。此外,20-[Emim][Gly]@MOF-177和20-[Emim][Ala]@MOF-177分别将其CO/N选择性从5(原始MOF-177)提高到了13和11。
