Abstract
The development of granular carbon materials with outstanding selectivity for the separation of alkenes and alkanes is highly desirable in the petrochemical industry but remains a significant challenge due to closely similar molecular sizes and physical properties of adsorbates. Herein, we report a facile approach of using natural biomass to prepare novel granular carbon molecule sieves with a molecular recognition accuracy of 0.44 Å and propose a new three-region model for the pore size distribution of amorphous porous carbons. Coffee bean-based granule carbon molecular sieves (CFGCs) were prepared with precise micropore regulation with subangstrom accuracy and characterized using molecular probes to reveal the evolution of carbon structure during preparation. The CFGC-0.09-750 demonstrates exceptional selectivity adsorption toward C3H6 while excluding C3H8, with an uptake ratio of 106.75 and a C3H6 uptake of 1.88 mmol/g at 298 K and 100 kPa, showcasing its immense potential in industrial applications for separating C3H6 and C3H8. The novel three-region model established in this work can clearly and reasonably elucidate why the samples CFGCs can screen propylene from propane at the subangstrom level. This study provides important guidance for the development of new carbon molecular sieves with subangstrom accuracy in molecular recognition and separation capacity.

Abstract
Hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) are emerging porous materials that show high structural flexibility, mild synthetic conditions, good solution processability, easy healing and regeneration, and good recyclability. Although these properties give them many potential multifunctional applications, their frameworks are unstable due to the presence of only weak and reversible hydrogen bonds. In this work, the development history and synthesis methods of HOFs are reviewed, and categorize their structural design concepts and strategies to improve their stability. More importantly, due to the significant potential of the latest HOF-related research for addressing energy and environmental issues, this work discusses the latest advances in the methods of energy storage and conversion, energy substance generation and isolation, environmental detection and isolation, degradation and transformation, and biological applications. Furthermore, a discussion of the coupling orientation of HOF in the cross-cutting fields of energy and environment is presented for the first time. Finally, current challenges, opportunities, and strategies for the development of HOFs to advance their energy and environmental applications are discussed.

Abstract
Selective separation of ethylene and ethane (C2H4/C2H6) is a formidable challenge due to their close molecular size and boiling point. Compared to industry-used cryogenic distillation, adsorption separation would offer a more energy-efficient solution when an efficient adsorbent is available. Herein, a class of C2H4/C2H6 separation adsorbents, doped carbon molecular sieves (d-CMSs) is reported which are prepared from the polymerization and subsequent carbonization of resorcinol, m-phenylenediamine, and formaldehyde in ethanol solution. The study demonstrated that the polymer precursor themselves can be a versatile platform for modifying the pore structure and surface functional groups of their derived d-CMSs. The high proportion of pores centered at 3.5 Å in d-CMSs contributes significantly to achieving a superior kinetic selectivity of 205 for C2H4/C2H6 separation. The generated pyrrolic-N and pyridinic-N functional sites in d-CMSs contribute to a remarkable elevation of Henry selectivity to 135 due to the enhancement of the surface polarity in d-CMSs. By balancing the synergistic effects of kinetics and thermodynamics, d-CMSs achieve efficient separation of C2H4/C2H6. Polymer-grade C2H4 of 99.71% purity can be achieved with 75% recovery using the devised d-CMSs as reflected in a two-bed vacuum swing adsorption simulation.

Abstract
Closed-loop recycling via an efficient chemical process can help alleviate the global plastic waste crisis. However, conventional depolymerization methods for polyolefins, which compose more than 50% of plastics, demand high temperatures and pressures, employ precious noble metals, and/or yield complex mixtures of products limited to single-use fuels or oils. Superacidic forms of sulfated zirconia (SZrO) with Hammet Acidity Functions (H0) ≤ - 12 (i.e., stronger than 100% H2SO4) are industrially deployed heterogeneous catalysts capable of activating hydrocarbons under mild conditions and are shown to decompose polyolefins at temperatures near 200 °C and ambient pressure. Additionally, confinement of active sites in porous supports is known to radically increase selectivity, coking and sintering resistance, and acid site activity, presenting a possible approach to low-energy polyolefin depolymerization. However, a critical examination of the literature on SZrO led us to a surprising conclusion: despite 40 years of catalytic study, engineering, and industrial use, the surface chemistry of SZrO is poorly understood. Ostensibly spurred by SZrO's impressive catalytic activity, the application-driven study of SZrO has resulted in deleterious ambiguity in requisite synthetic conditions for superacidity and insufficient characterization of acidity, porosity, and active site structure. This ambiguity has produced significant knowledge gaps surrounding the synthesis, structure, and mechanisms of hydrocarbon activation for optimized SZrO, stunting the potential of this catalyst in olefin cracking and other industrially relevant reactions, such as isomerization, esterification, and alkylation. Toward mitigating these long extant issues, we herein identify and highlight these current shortcomings and knowledge gaps, propose explicit guidelines for characterization of and reporting on characterization of solid acidity, and discuss the potential of pore-confined superacids in the efficient and selective depolymerization of polyolefins.

Abstract
Global warming has become a growing concern over decades, prompting numerous research endeavours to reduce the carbon dioxide (CO2) emission, the major greenhouse gas (GHG). However, the contribution of other non-CO2 GHGs including methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), fluorocarbons, perfluorinated gases, etc. should not be overlooked, due to their high global warming potential and environmental hazards. In order to reduce the emission of non-CO2 GHGs, advanced separation technologies with high efficiency and low energy consumption such as adsorptive separation or membrane separation are highly desirable. Advanced porous materials (APMs) including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs), porous organic polymers (POPs), etc. have been developed to boost the adsorptive and membrane separation, due to their tunable pore structure and surface functionality. This review summarizes the progress of APM adsorbents and membranes for non-CO2 GHG separation. The material design and fabrication strategies, along with the molecular-level separation mechanisms are discussed. Besides, the state-of-the-art separation performance and challenges of various APM materials towards each type of non-CO2 GHG are analyzed, offering insightful guidance for future research. Moreover, practical industrial challenges and opportunities from the aspect of engineering are also discussed, to facilitate the industrial implementation of APMs for non-CO2 GHG separation.

Abstract
Cryogenic distillation, a currently employed method for C2H4/C2H6 and C3H6/C3H8 mixture separation, is energy-intensive, prompting the research toward alternative technologies, including adsorbent-based separation. In this work, we combine machine learning (ML) technique with high-throughput screening to screen ∼23,000 hypothetical metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for paraffin (C2H6 and C3H8) selective adsorbent separation. First, structure-based prescreening was employed to remove MOFs with undesired geometric properties. Further, a random forest model built upon the multicomponent grand canonical Monte Carlo (m-GCMC) simulation data of training set MOFs was found to be the most successful in learning the relationship between MOF features and olefin/paraffin mixture separation. Using this technique, the separation performance of the remaining (test set) MOFs was predicted, and the top-performing MOFs were identified. We also employed active learning (AL) to evaluate its effectiveness in improving the prediction of olefin/paraffin selectivity. AL was discovered to be ∼29 times more efficient than the best-supervised ML model, as it was able to identify the top materials in limited training data and at a fraction of computational cost and time as compared to ML techniques. Among the top selected materials, framework chemistry was found to be the most important parameter. Nickel and copper (as a metal node) in a tfzd and hms topological arrangement respectively, were discovered to be a prevalent attribute in high-performing MOFs, further demonstrating the prominent significance of framework chemistry. Additionally, the top MOFs discovered were studied in detail and further compared to the previously reported MOFs. These MOFs show the highest selectivity for C2H4/C2H6 and C3H6/C3H8 mixture separation, as reported until date. The hierarchical strategy devised in this study will facilitate the quick screening of MOFs across multiple databases toward industrially significant separation processes by leveraging molecular simulations and AL.

Abstract
The energy-saving separation of CO2/N2 and CH4/N2 in the energy industry facilitates the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and replenishes energy resources, but is a challenging separation process. The trade-off between adsorption capacity and selectivity of the adsorbents is one of the key bottlenecks in adsorption separation technologies' large-scale application in the above separation task. Herein, we introduced a series of fluoroborate or fluorosilicate salts (Cu(BF4)2, Zn(BF4)2 and ZnSiF6) into the open coordination nitrogen sites of aluminum-based metal-organic frameworks (MOF-253) to create multiple binding sites to simultaneously enhance the adsorption capacity and selectivity for the target gas. By the synergistic adsorption effect of metal ions (Cu2+ or Zn2+) and fluorinated anions (BF4- or (SiF6)2-), the single-component adsorption capacity and selectivity of salt-modified MOF-253 (MOF-253@Cu(BF4)2, MOF-253@Zn(BF4)2 and MOF-253@ZnSiF6) for CO2 and CH4 were effectively improved when compared to pristine MOF-253 at 298 K and 1 bar. In addition, the salt-modified MOF-253 has a moderate adsorption heat (<30 kJ mol-1) which could be rapidly regenerated at low energy by evacuation desorption. As confirmed by the ambient breakthrough experiments of MOF-253 and MOF-253@ZnSiF6, the real separation performance for both CO2/N2 (1/4) and CH4/N2 (1/4) was obviously improved. This work provides a feasible post-modification strategy on uncoordinated sites of the framework to improve adsorption separation performance and promote the development of ideal adsorbents with a view to realizing their application in the energy industry.

Abstract
Purification of ethylene (C2H4) is an essential and energy-intensive process in the petrochemical industry. Adsorption separation using ethane (C2H6)-selective porous adsorbents is a highly efficient and straightforward method for obtaining polymer-grade C2H4 from a binary C2H6/C2H4 mixture. However, the design and construction of C2H6-selective adsorbents are very challenging tasks. Herein, we demonstrate a microporous heterometal-organic framework, CuIn(ina)4, can preferentially enrich C2H6 than C2H4. Experimental results revealed that CuIn(ina)4 exhibited remarkable separation performance for the C2H6/C2H4 mixture with a high C2H6 loading capacity (3.3 mmol/g), high IAST selectivity (2.3) and separation potential (1578 mmol/L for equimolar C2H6/C2H4 mixture) under ambient conditions. The effectiveness of CuIn(ina)4 for C2H6/C2H4 adsorption separation was confirmed by theoretical calculations and breakthrough experiments.

Abstract
Performing gas separation at high efficiency with minimum energy input and reduced carbon footprint is a major challenge. While several separation methods exist at various technology readiness levels, porous membrane-based separation is considered as a disruptive technology. To attain sustainability and required efficiency, different approaches of membrane design have been explored. However, the selectivity-permeation trade-off and membrane aging have restricted further advancement. In this regard, a new generation composite made of organic polymers and metal-organic framework (MOF) fillers shows substantial promise. Organic polymer matrix allows easy processibility, but it has poor permselectivity for gas molecules. Metal-organic frameworks are excellent sieving materials; however, they suffer from poor processibility issues. A combination of these two components makes an ideal sieving membrane, which can potentially outnumber the existing energy intensive distillation strategies. In this perspective, we have discussed key indices that regulate gas permselectivity by a careful selection of the existing literature. While the target gas flux and selectivity values have been a part of many previous reviews and articles, we have presented a concise discussion on the interface design of the MOF-polymer membrane, morphology, and orientation control of MOF fillers in the matrix. Following this, a future roadmap to overcome challenges related to MOF-polymer interfacial defects is outlined.

Abstract
An ethynyl-modified interpenetrated MOF material with lvt topology, [Cu2(BTEB)(NMF)2]·NMF·8H2O (compound 1, H4BTEB = 4,4',4'',4'''-(benzene-1,2,4,5-tetrayltetrakis(ethyne-2,1-diyl))tetrabenzoic acid, NMF = N-Methylformamide), was successfully synthesized by using an alkynyl-functionalized H4BTEB organic ligand under solvothermal conditions. Structural analysis shows that compound 1, consisting of a tetradentate carboxylic acid ligand and classical [Cu2(CO2)4] paddle-wheel structure building units, has a rare 4-connected lvt topology with dual interpenetrating structure, which can improve the framework stability, as well as the gas adsorption capacity and selectivity due to the restricted pore channel. According to the study of gas adsorption performance, compound 1 with a larger surface area, boasts a superior adsorption capacity for small gas molecules. Also, ideal adsorption solution theory (IAST) computational simulation shows that compound 1 has good gas adsorption selectivity for C3H8/CH4, indicating its potential application in gas separation.

Abstract
A proposed low-energy alternative to the separation of alkanes from alkenes by energy-intensive cryogenic distillation is separation by porous adsorbents. Unfortunately, most adsorbents preferentially take up the desired, high-value major component alkene, requiring frequent regeneration. Adsorbents with inverse selectivity for the minor component alkane would enable the direct production of purified, reagent-grade alkene, greatly reducing global energy consumption. However, such materials are exceedingly rare, especially for propane/propylene separation. Here, we report that through adaptive and spontaneous pore size and shape adaptation to optimize an ensemble of weak noncovalent interactions, the structurally responsive metal-organic framework CdIF-13 (sod-Cd(benzimidazolate)2) exhibits inverse selectivity for propane over propylene with record-setting separation performance under industrially relevant temperature, pressure, and mixture conditions. Powder synchrotron X-ray diffraction measurements combined with first-principles calculations yield atomic-scale insight and reveal the induced fit mechanism of adsorbate-specific pore adaptation and ensemble interactions between ligands and adsorbates. Dynamic column breakthrough measurements confirm that CdIF-13 displays selectivity under mixed-component conditions of varying ratios, with a record measured selectivity factor of α ≈ 3 at 95:5 propylene:propane at 298 K and 1 bar. When sequenced with a low-cost rigid adsorbent, we demonstrated the direct purification of propylene under ambient conditions. This combined atomic-level structural characterization and performance testing firmly establishes how cooperatively flexible materials can be capable of unprecedented separation factors.

Abstract
A series of Al-based isomorphs (CAU-10H, MIL-160, KMF-1, and CAU-10pydc) were synthesized using isophthalic acid (ipa), 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (fdc), 2,5-pyrrole dicarboxylic acid (pyrdc), and 3,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (pydc), respectively. These isomorphs were systematically investigated to identify the best adsorbent for effectively separating C2H6/C2H4. All CAU-10 isomorphs exhibited preferential adsorption of C2H6 over that of C2H4 in mixture. CAU-10pydc exhibited the best C2H6/C2H4 selectivity (1.68) and the highest C2H6 uptake (3.97 mmol g-1) at 298 K and 1 bar. In the breakthrough experiment using CAU-10pydc, 1/1 (v/v) and 1/15 (v/v) C2H6/C2H4 gas mixtures were successfully separated into high-purity C2H4 (>99.95%), with remarkable productivities of 14.0 LSTP kg-1 and 32.0 LSTP kg-1, respectively, at 298 K. Molecular simulations revealed that the exceptional separation performance of CAU-10pydc originated from the increased porosity and reduced electron density of the pyridine ring of pydc, leading to a relatively larger decrease in π-π interactions with C2H4 than in the C-H···π interactions with C2H6. This study demonstrates that the pore size and geometry of the CAU-10 platform are modulated by the inclusion of heteroatom-containing benzene dicarboxylate or heterocyclic rings of dicarboxylate-based organic linkers, thereby fine-tuning the C2H6/C2H4 separation ability. CAU-10pydc was determined to be an optimum adsorbent for this challenging separation.

Abstract
The pore dimension and surface property directly dictate the transport of guests, endowing diverse gas selective adsorptions to porous materials. It is highly relevant to construct metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with designable functional groups that can achieve feasible pore regulation to improve their separation performances. However, the role of functionalization in different positions or degrees within framework on the separation of light hydrocarbon has rarely been emphasized. In this context, four isoreticular MOFs (TKL-104-107) bearing dissimilar fluorination are rationally screened out and afforded intriguing differences in the adsorption behavior of C2 H6 and C2 H4 . Ortho-fluoridation of carboxyl allows TKL-105-107 to exhibit enhanced structural stabilities, impressive C2 H6 adsorption capacities (>125 cm3 g-1 ) and desirable inverse selectivities (C2 H6 over C2 H4 ). The more modified ortho-fluorine group and meta-fluorine group of carboxyl have improved the C2 H6 /C2 H4 selectivity and adsorption capacity, respectively, and the C2 H6 /C2 H4 separation potential can be well optimized via linker fine-fluorination. Meanwhile, dynamic breakthrough experiments proved that TKL-105-107 can be used as highly efficient C2 H6 -selective adsorbents for C2 H4 purification. This work highlights that the purposeful functionalization of pore surfaces facilitates the assembly of highly efficient MOF adsorbents for specific gas separation.

Abstract
Glycerin, a low-valued waste from biodiesel production, and dopamine were used as precursors for adsorbent materials. The study is centered on the preparation and application of microporous activated carbon as adsorbent materials in the separation of ethane/ethylene and of gases that are natural gas or landfill gas components (ethane/methane and carbon dioxide/methane). The activated carbons were produced by the following sequence reactions: facile carbonization of a glycerin/dopamine mixture and chemical activation. Dopamine allowed the introduction of nitrogenated groups that improved the selectivity of the separations. The activating agent was KOH, but its mass ratio was kept lower than one to improve the sustainability of the final materials. The solids were characterized by N2 adsorption/desorption isotherms, SEM, FTIR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and point of zero charges (pHPZC). The order for adsorption of the different adsorbates (in mmolg-1) on the most well performing material-Gdop0.75-is methane (2.5) < carbon dioxide (5.0) < ethylene (8.6) < ethane (8.9).

Abstract
Membrane technology, regarded as an environmentally friendly and sustainable approach, offers great potential to address the large energy penalty associated with the energy-intensive propylene/propane separation. Quest for molecular sieving membranes for this important separation is of tremendous interest. Here, a fluorinated metal-organic framework (MOF) material, known as KAUST-7 (KAUST: King Abdullah University of Science and Technology) with well-defined narrow 1D channels that can effectively discriminate propylene from propane based on a size-sieving mechanism, is successfully incorporated into a polyimide matrix to fabricate molecular sieving mixed matrix membranes (MMMs). Markedly, the surface functionalization of KAUST-7 nanoparticles with carbene moieties affords the requisite interfacial compatibility, with minimal nonselective defects at polymer-filler interfaces, for the fabrication of a molecular sieving MMM. The optimal membrane with a high MOF loading (up to 45 wt.%) displays a propylene permeability of ≈95 barrer and a mixed propylene/propane selectivity of ≈20, far exceeding the state-of-the-art upper bound limits. Moreover, the resultant membrane exhibits robust structural stability under practical conditions, including high pressures (up to 8 bar) and temperatures (up to 100 °C). The observed outstanding performance attests to the importance of surface engineering for the preparation and plausible deployment of high-performance MMMs for industrial applications.

Abstract
Propane/propene (C3 H8 /C3 H6 ) separation is essential in the petrochemical industry but challenging because of their similar physical and chemical properties. Adsorptive separation with C3 H8 -selective porous materials can energy-efficiently produce high-purity C3 H6 , which is highly promising for replacing conventional cryogenic distillation but suffers from unsatisfactory performance. Herein, through the precise incorporation of fluorinated functional groups into the confined pore space, a new fluorinated metal-organic framework (FDMOF-2) featuring the unique and strong C3 H8 -trap is successfully constructed. FDMOF-2 exhibits an unprecedented C3 H8 capture capacity of 140 cm3 cm-3 and excellent C3 H8 /C3 H6 (1:1, v/v) selectivity up to 2.18 (298 K and 1 bar), thus setting new benchmarks for all reported porous materials. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies reveal that the tailored pore confinement in FDMOF-2 provides stronger and multiple attractive interactions with C3 H8 , enabling excellent binding affinities. Breakthrough experiments demonstrate that C3 H8 can be directly extracted from various C3 H8 /C3 H6 mixtures with FDMOF-2, affording an outstanding C3 H6 production (501 mmol L-1 ) with over 99.99% purity. Benefiting from the robust framework and hydrophobic ligands, the separation performance of FDMOF-2 can be well maintained even under 70% relative humidity conditions.

Abstract
Propylene is a crucial building block to produce many industrial-scale chemicals including polypropylene. The separation of propylene from propane to reach the high-purity levels needed for downstream applications is a difficult task due to the close similarities in their physical properties. The olefin/paraffin separation including that involving propylene mainly relies on highly energy-intensive distillation processes and accounts for nearly 0.3% of the global energy consumption. The utility of a copper complex supported by a fluorinated bis(pyrazolyl)borate is demonstrated to accomplish the separation of propylene from propane repeatedly, under mild conditions with high selectivity. Complete characterization of a rare, copper(I) propylene complex is also reported including the molecular structure.

Abstract
Highly efficient adsorptive separation of propylene from propane offers an ideal alternative method to replace the energy-intensive cryogenic distillation technology. Molecular sieving-type separation via high-performance adsorbents is targeted for superior selectivity, but the limit in adsorption capacity remains a great challenge. Here, we report an oxyfluoride-based ultramicroporous metal-organic framework UTSA-400, [Ni(WO2F4)(pyz)2] (pyz = pyrazine), featuring one-dimensional pore channels that can accommodate the propylene molecules with optimal binding affinity while specifically excluding the propane molecules. The exposed oxide/fluoride pairs in UTSA-400 serve as strong functional sites for strengthened propylene-host interactions, accounting for a significantly enhanced propylene uptake, while the propane molecules are excluded due to the regulated host framework dynamics. The strong propylene binding enables near-saturation of propylene in the pore confinement at ambient conditions, leading to full utilization of pore space and superior packing density. Combined in situ infrared spectroscopy measurements and dispersion-corrected density functional theory calculations clearly unveil the nature of boosted host-guest binding. Direct production of polymer-grade (>99.5%) propylene with remarkable dynamic productivity is demonstrated by column breakthrough experiments. This work presents an example of pore engineering with atomic precision to break the trade-off in adsorptive separation through guest binding optimization.

Abstract
Zeolites have been widely used as catalysts, ion exchangers, and adsorbents since their industrial breakthrough in the 1950s and continue to be state-of the-art adsorbents in many separation processes. Furthermore, their properties make them materials of choice for developing and emerging separation applications. The aim of this review is to put into context the relevance of zeolites and their use and prospects in adsorption technology. It has been divided into three different sections, i.e., zeolites, adsorption on nanoporous materials, and chemical separations by zeolites. In the first section, zeolites are explained in terms of their structure, composition, preparation, and properties, and a brief review of their applications is given. In the second section, the fundamentals of adsorption science are presented, with special attention to its industrial application and our case of interest, which is adsorption on zeolites. Finally, the state-of-the-art relevant separations related to chemical and energy production, in which zeolites have a practical or potential applicability, are presented. The replacement of some of the current separation methods by optimized adsorption processes using zeolites could mean an improvement in terms of sustainability and energy savings. Different separation mechanisms and the underlying adsorption properties that make zeolites interesting for these applications are discussed.

Abstract
Adsorptive separation based on porous solid adsorbents has emerged as an excellent effective alternative to energy-intensive conventional separation methods in a low energy cost and high working capacity manner. However, there are few stable mesoporous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for efficient purification of methane from other light hydrocarbons in natural gas. Herein, we report a series of stable mesoporous MOFs, MIL-101-Cr/Fe/Fe-NH2, for efficient separation of CH4 and C3H8 from a ternary mixture CH4/C2H6/C3H8. Experimental results show that all three MOFs possess excellent thermal, acid/basic, and hydrothermal stability. Single-component adsorption suggested that they have high C3H8 adsorption capacity and commendable selectivity for C3H8 and C2H6 over CH4. Transient breakthrough experiments further certified the ability of direct separation of CH4 from simulated natural gas and indirect recovery of C3H8 from the packing column. Theoretical calculations illustrated that the van der Waals force proportional to the molecular weight is the key factor and that the structural integrity and defect can impact separation performances.

Abstract
The development of a high-performance ethane (C2H6)-selective adsorbent for the separation of ethane/ethylene (C2H6/C2H4) gas mixtures has been investigated for high-efficiency adsorption-based gas separation. Herein, we investigated Al-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to identify an efficient C2H6-selective adsorbent (CAU-11), supported by a computational simulation study. CAU-11 exhibited numerous advantageous properties (such as low material cost, structural robustness, high reaction yield, and high C2H6/C2H4 selectivity) compared to other Al-based MOFs, indicating immense potential as a C2H6-selective adsorbent. CAU-11 exhibited preferential C2H6 adsorption in single-component gas adsorption experiments, and its predicted ideal adsorption solution theory selectivity of C2H6/C2H4 was over 2.1, consistent with the simulation analysis. Dynamic breakthrough experiments using representative compositions of the C2H6/C2H4 gas mixture confirmed the excellent separation ability of CAU-11; it produced high-purity C2H4 (>99.95%) with productivity values of 0.79 and 2.02 mol L-1 while repeating the cyclic experiment with 1:1 and 1:15 v/v C2H6/C2H4 gas mixtures, respectively, at 298 K and 1 bar. The high C2H6/C2H4 separation ability of CAU-11 could be attributed to its non-polar pore environment and optimum pore dimensions which strengthen the interaction of its pores (via C-H···π interactions) with C2H6 to a greater extent than with C2H4.

Abstract
Propane/propylene separation is one of the most challenging and energy-consuming but most important tasks in the petrochemical industry. Herein, a stable hydrogen-bonded organic framework (HOF-FJU-1) was tailor-made for highly efficient propylene separation from binary C3H6/C3H8 and even seven component CH4/C2H4/C2H6/C3H6/C3H8/CO2/H2 mixtures. The temperature-controllable diffusion channels in HOF-FJU-1 have enabled the porous material to completely exclude propane to reach high-performance propylene purification under energy-efficient operation conditions. Single-crystal structural analysis revealed that the well-matched pore aperture of HOF-FJU-1 can exactly accommodate propylene molecules via multiple intermolecular interactions, exhibiting a very high propylene/propane selectivity of 616 at 333 K. The propylene purity and productivity are over 99.5% and 30.2 L kg-1 from the binary C3H6/C3H8 (50/50) mixture at 333 K. Through a follow-up column separation of C3H6/C2H4 at 353 K, not only high-purity propylene (99.5%) but also ethylene (98.3%) can be readily collected from the seven component CH4/C2H4/C2H6/C3H6/C3H8/CO2/H2 (31/10/25/10/10/1/13) cracking gas mixtures. The great potential of HOF-FJU-1 for the industrial propylene separation process has been further supported by the high stability of this porous material under different environments and straightforward processibility and regeneration feasibility.

Abstract
Zeolitic octahedral metal oxides are inorganic crystalline microporous materials with adsorption and redox properties. New ϵ-Keggin nickel molybdate-based zeolitic octahedral metal oxides have been synthesized. 31 P NMR spectroscopy shows that reduction of MoVI -based molybdates forms an ϵ-Keggin polyoxometalate that immediately transfers to the solid phase. Investigation of the formation process indicates that a low Ni concentration, insoluble reducing agent, and long synthesis time are the critical factors for obtaining the zeolite octahedral metal oxides rather than the ϵ-Keggin polyoxometalate molecule. The synthesized zeolitic nickel molybdate with Na+ is used as the adsorbent, which effectively separates C2 hydrocarbon mixtures.

Abstract
Synthetic conditions for the zeolitic octahedral metal oxide based on vanadotungstate are studied. The temperature, time, acidity, W/V ratio, cation species, and concentration affect the resulting materials. The study shows that mixing tungstate and VO2+ in an aqueous solution generates cubane units ([W4O16]8-) at room temperature. The cubane units assemble with VO2+ immediately to form a solid with an amorphous phase and nonporosity, which further crystallizes under a hydrothermal condition to form the crystalline microporous vanadotungstate. The zeolitic vanadotungstates act as effective adsorbents for the separation of propylene/propane. The active materials effectively separate propylene/propane even at high temperatures and high humidities.

Abstract
Light hydrocarbons (LHs) separation is an important process in petrochemical industry. The current separation technology predominantly relies on cryogenic distillation, which results in considerable energy consumption. Adsorptive separation using porous solids has received widespread attention due to its lower energy footprint and higher efficiency. Thus, tremendous efforts have been devoted to the design and synthesis of high-performance porous solids. Among them, porous carbons display exceptional stability, tunable pore structure, and surface chemistry and thus represent a class of novel adsorbents upon achieving the matched pore structures for LHs separations. In this review, the modulation strategies toward advanced carbon-based adsorbents for LHs separation are firstly reviewed. Then, the relationships between separation performances and key structural parameters of carbon adsorbents are discussed by exemplifying specific separation cases. The research findings on the control of the pore structures as well as the quantification of the adsorption sites are highlighted. Finally, the challenges of carbonaceous adsorbents facing for LHs separation are given, which would motivate us to rationally design more efficient absorbents and separation processes in future.

Abstract
The discovery of high-performance adsorbents for highly efficient separation of xenon from krypton is an important but challenging task in the chemical industry due to their similar size and inert spherical nature. Herein, we report two robust and radiation-resistant Hofmann-type MOFs, Co(pyz)[Ni(CN)4] and Co(pyz)[Pd(CN)4] (termed as ZJU-74a-Ni and ZJU-74a-Pd), featuring oppositely adjacent open metal sites and perfect pore sizes (4.1 and 3.8 Å) comparable to the kinetic diameter of xenon (4.047 Å), affording the benchmark binding affinity for polarizable Xe gas. These materials thus exhibit both record-high Xe uptake capacities (89.3 and 98.4 cm3 cm-3 at 296 K and 0.2 bar) and Xe/Kr selectivities (74.1 and 103.4) at ambient conditions, all of which are the highest among all the state-of-the-art materials reported so far. The locations of Xe molecules within ZJU-74a-Ni have been visualized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies, in which two oppositely adjacent metal centers combined with the right aperture size can construct a unique sandwich-like binding site to offer unprecedented and ultrastrong Ni2+-Xe-Ni2+ interactions with xenon, thus leading to the record Xe capture capacity and selectivity. The excellent separation capacity of ZJU-74a-Pd was verified by breakthrough experiments for Xe/Kr gas mixtures, providing both unprecedentedly high xenon uptake capacity (4.63 mmol cm-3) and krypton productivity (214 cm3 g-1).

Abstract
The interface is a critical issue for metal-organic-framework hybrid membranes in propylene separation. Here, a covalent-linking strategy is reported for strikingly reinforcing the interfacial compatibility in a ZIF-8-based membrane. A functionalized ZIF-8 material named ZIF-8-CN is synthesized using the mixed-ligand approach. ZIF-8-CN has an identical crystalline structure to ZIF-8, and the 4,5-dicyanoimidazole ligand is available for further functionalization. Covalent linkage of ZIF-8-CN with PIM-1 is driven by the thermal reaction of the cyano groups on both entities, which strengthens the filler-polymer connection in the ZIF-8-CN@tPIM-1 membrane. ZIF-8-CN@tPIM-1 exhibits remarkably enhanced propylene permeation property with C3 H6 /C3 H8 selectivity of ≈28, which is 350% and 180% higher than those on non-treated ZIF-8-CN/PIM-1 and non-functionalized ZIF-8@tPIM-1, respectively. Additionally, ZIF-8-CN@tPIM-1 shows the highest C3 H6 permeability of ≈370 Barrer among all relevant ZIF-8 membranes. This strategy opens an avenue for precise interface engineering in membranes and the resultant high performance is appealing in the propylene separation industry.

Abstract
Developing energy-efficient alternatives for methane (CH4) purification from natural gas and methane capture of coal-mine gas is of great significance and challenge in the chemical industry. Herein, we report a robust nickel-based metal-organic framework (MOF), Ni-BPZ, featuring one-dimensional (1D) rhombic channels decorated with abundant pyrazole rings. Ni-BPZ exhibits excellent separation performance toward both C2H6/CH4 and CH4/N2 binary mixtures. The C2H6/CH4 selectivity of Ni-BPZ is high, up to 50.2, exceeding those of most MOF adsorbents reported, and it simultaneously possesses a remarkable C2H6 uptake of 2.46 mmol/g at 298 K and 0.1 bar. The CH4/N2 selectivity of Ni-BPZ reaches 6.6, and its high CH4 uptake is 1.56 mmol/g, which is also superior to most high-performance CH4 adsorbents. The molecular simulation reveals that the uniform 1D rhombic channels with abundant pyrazole rings provide a high density of potential adsorption sites for efficient C2H6/CH4 and CH4/N2 separations.
