Xenon (Xe) and krypton (Kr) are important gases with significant industrial and medical applications. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a promising class of sorbent materials for Xe/Kr separation. To enhance the Xe/Kr separation performance of MOFs, we develop a strategy to encapsulate Pt nanoparticles into MOFs to introduce strong Xe adsorption sites. Xe and Kr adsorption and separation studies show that Pt@UiO-66 exhibits 21% higher Xe uptake capacity and a 7% increase in Xe/Kr selectivity compared to UiO-66 due to the introduced Xe adsorption sites, despite the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area decreasing. These findings have led to an 88% extension of column breakthrough time during Xe/Kr separation under identical conditions. We further demonstrate that this approach can be extended to other MOFs with potential for Xe/Kr separation.
氙(Xe)和氪(Kr)是具有重要工业和医学应用的气体。金属有机框架(MOF)是一类很有前景的用于Xe/Kr分离的吸附剂材料。为了提高MOF对Xe/Kr的分离性能,我们开发了一种将铂纳米颗粒封装到MOF中的策略,以引入强Xe吸附位点。Xe和Kr的吸附及分离研究表明,由于引入了Xe吸附位点,尽管布鲁诺尔-埃米特-特勒(BET)表面积减小,但与UiO-66相比,Pt@UiO-66的Xe吸附容量高出21%,Xe/Kr选择性提高了7%。这些发现使得在相同条件下Xe/Kr分离过程中的柱穿透时间延长了88%。我们进一步证明,这种方法可以扩展到其他具有Xe/Kr分离潜力的MOF。
