Abstract
The fundamental interest in actinide chemistry, particularly for the development of thorium-based materials, is experiencing a renaissance owing to the recent and rapidly growing attention to fuel cycle reactors, radiological daughters for nuclear medicine, and efficient nuclear stockpile development. Herein, we uncover fundamental principles of thorium chemistry on the example of Th-based extended structures such as metal-organic frameworks in comparison with the discrete systems and zirconium extended analogs, demonstrating remarkable over two-and-half-year chemical stability of Th-based frameworks as a function of metal node connectivity, amount of defects, and conformational linker rigidity through comprehensive spectroscopic and crystallographic analysis as well as theoretical modeling. Despite exceptional chemical stability, we report the first example of studies focusing on the reactivity of the most chemically stable Th-based frameworks in comparison with the discrete Th-based systems such as metal-organic complexes and a cage, contrasting multicycle recyclability and selectivity (>97%) of the extended structures in comparison with the molecular compounds. Overall, the presented work not only establishes the conceptual foundation for evaluating the capabilities of Th-based materials but also represents a milestone for their multifaceted future and foreshadows their potential to shape the next era of actinide chemistry.

Molecules 2023; 28:7367. [PMID: 37959783 PMCID: PMC10648455 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28217367] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2023] [Revised: 10/22/2023] [Accepted: 10/25/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Adsorption and separation of Xe/Kr are significant for making high-density nuclear energy environmentally friendly and for meeting the requirements of the gas industry. Enhancing the accuracy of the adsorbate model for describing the adsorption behaviors of Xe and Kr in MOFs and the efficiency of the model for predicting the separation potential (SP) value of Xe/Kr separation in MOFs helps in searching for promising MOFs for Xe/Kr adsorption and separation within a short time and at a low cost. In this work, polarizable and transferable models for mimic Xe and Kr adsorption behaviors in MOFs were constructed. Using these models, SP values of 38 MOFs at various temperatures and pressures were calculated. An optimal neural network model called BPNN-SP was designed to predict SP value based on physical parameters of metal center (electronegativity and radius) and organic linker (three-dimensional size and polarizability) combined with temperature and pressure. The regression coefficient value of the BPNN-SP model for each data set is higher than 0.995. MAE, MBE, and RMSE of BPNN-SP are only 0.331, -0.002, and 0.505 mmol/g, respectively. Finally, BPNN-SP was validated by experiment data from six MOFs. The transferable adsorbate model combined with the BPNN-SP model would highly improve the efficiency for designing MOFs with high performance for Xe/Kr adsorption and separation.

Abstract
The nuclear industry is rapidly developing and the effective management of nuclear waste and monitoring the nuclear fuel cycle are crucial. The presence of various radionuclides such as uranium (U), europium (Eu), technetium (Tc), iodine (I), thorium (Th), cesium (Cs), and strontium (Sr) in the environment is a major concern, and the development of materials with high adsorption capacity and selectivity is essential for their effective removal. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have recently emerged as promising materials for removing radioactive elements from water resources due to their unique properties such as tunable pore size, high surface area, and chemical structure. This review provides an extensive analysis of the potential of MOFs as adsorbents for purifying various radionuclides rather than using different techniques such as precipitation, filtration, ion exchange, electrolysis, solvent extraction, and flotation. This review discusses various MOF fabrication methods, focusing on minimizing environmental impacts when using organic solvents and solvent-free methods, and covers the mechanism of MOF adsorption towards radionuclides, including macroscopic and microscopic views. It also examines the effectiveness of MOFs in removing radionuclides from wastewater, their behavior on exposure to high radiation, and their renewability and reusability. We conclude by emphasizing the need for further research to optimize the performance of MOFs and expand their use in real-world applications. Overall, this review provides valuable insights into the potential of MOFs as efficient and durable materials for removing radioactive elements from water resources, addressing a critical issue in the nuclear industry.

Abstract
Four different MOFs were exposed to γ rays by a cobalt-60 source reaching a maximum dose of 5 MGy. The results showed that the MIL-100 (Cr) and MIL-100 (Fe) did not exhibit obvious structural damage, suggesting their excellent radiation stability. MIL-101 (Cr) showed good radiation stability up to 4 MGy, but its structure started degrading with increasing radiation dose. Furthermore, the results showed that the structure of AlFu MOFs started to decompose at a gamma dose of 1 MGy, exhibiting a much lower tolerance to γ radiation. At this radiation energy, the dominant interaction of the gamma-ray with MOFs is the Compton effect and the radiation stability of MOFs can be improved by prolific aromatic linkers, high linker connectivity, and good crystallinity. The results of this study indicate that MIL-100 and MIL-101 MOFs have a good potential to be employed in nuclear applications, where relatively high radiation doses play a role, for example, nuclear waste treatment and radionuclides production.

Abstract
Efficient xenon/krypton (Xe/Kr) separation has played an important role in industry due to the wide application of high-purity Xe and with regard to the safe disposal of radioactive noble gases (85Kr and 133Xe). A less energy-demanding separation technology, adsorptive separation using porous solid materials, has been proposed to replace the traditional cryogenic distillation with intensive energy consumption. As a cutting-edge class of porous materials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) featuring permanent porosity, designable chemical functionalities, and tunable pore sizes hold great promise for Xe/Kr separation. Here, we report a two-dimensional (2D) lanthanide-organic framework (termed LPC-MOF, [Eu(Ccbp)(NO3)(HCOO)]·DMF0.3(H2O)2.5) with one-dimensional (1D) local positively charged rhomboid channels whose size matches well with the kinetic diameter of Xe, leading to its superior Xe/Kr separation performance. Column breakthrough experiments demonstrate that LPC-MOF exhibits a high Xe/Kr selectivity of 12.4 and an Xe adsorption amount of 3.39 mmol kg-1 under simulated conditions for real used nuclear fuel (UNF)-reprocessing plants. Furthermore, density functional theory (DFT) calculations elucidate not only the intrinsic mechanisms of Xe/Kr separation at the molecular level but also the detailed influence of the local positive charge (N+) on the performance of Xe/Kr separation in the MOF system.

Abstract
Xe/Kr separation is industrially important but remains a daunting issue in chemical separations. Herein, a fluorinated metal-organic framework (MOF), [Ni2(μ2-O)(TFBPDC)(tpt)2]n (named JXNU-13-F), built from 3,3',5,5'-tetrakis(fluoro)biphenyl-4,4'-dicarboxylic (TFBPDC2-) and 2,4,6-tri(4-pyridinyl)-1,3,5-triazine (tpt) ligands is provided. JXNU-13-F displays a three-dimensional (3D) framework constructed from distorted octahedral cages and an impressive Xe capacity of 144 cm3 g-1 at 273 K and 1 bar, ranking among top MOFs. The high Xe uptake and moderate Xe/Kr adsorption selectivity endow JXNU-13-F with efficient Xe/Kr separation demonstrated by experimental column breakthrough tests. The comparative studies of gas adsorption between isostructural JXNU-13-F and JXNU-13 (the nonfluorinated analogue ([Ni2(μ2-O)(BPDC))(tpt)2]n with biphenyl-4,4'-dicarboxylic (BPDC2-)) revealed that the F groups serve as the innocent groups during the Xe and Kr adsorption in JXNU-13-F. Thus, a combination of highly hydrophobic and π-electron-rich pore surfaces made of aromatic rings with strong interactions with the Xe atom possessing large polarizability and appropriate pore sizes that match well Xe having a large atom diameter has resulted in high Xe uptake and effective Xe/Kr separation characteristics of JXNU-13-F.

Abstract
Xe/Kr separation is an industrially important but challenging process owing to their inert properties and low concentrations in the air. Energy-effective adsorption-based separation is a promising technology. Herein, two isostructural hydrogen-bonded metal-nucleobase frameworks (HOF-ZJU-201 and HOF-ZJU-202) are capable of separating Xe/Kr under ambient conditions and strike an excellent balance between capacity and selectivity. The Xe capacity of HOF-ZJU-201a reaches 3.01 mmol g-1 at 298 K and 1.0 bar, while IAST selectivity and Henry's selectivity are 21.0 and 21.6, respectively. Direct breakthrough experiments confirmed the excellent separation performance, affording a Xe capacity of 25.8 mmol kg-1 from a Xe/Kr mixed-gas at dilute concentrations. Density functional theory calculations revealed that the selective binding arises from the enhanced polarization in the confined electric field produced by the electron-rich anions and the electron-deficient purine heterocyclic rings.

Abstract
The use of an extrusion-spheronization process was investigated to prepare robust and highly porous extrudates and granules starting from UiO-66 and UiO-66_NH2 metal-organic framework powders. As-produced materials were applied to the capture of gaseous iodine and the adsorption of xenon and krypton. In this study, biosourced chitosan and hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) are used as binders, added in low amounts (less than 5 wt % of the dried solids), as well as a colloidal silica as a co-binder when required. Characterizations of the final shaped materials reveal that most physicochemical properties are retained, except the textural properties, which are impacted by the process and the proportion of binders (BET surface area reduction from 5 to 33%). On the other hand, the mechanical resistance of the shaped materials toward compression is greatly improved by the presence of binders and their respective contents, from 0.5 N for binderless UiO-66 granules to 17 N for UiO-66@HEC granules. UiO-66_NH2-based granules demonstrated consequent iodine capture after 48 h, up to 527 mg/g, in line with the pristine UiO-66_NH2 powder (565 mg/g) and proportionally to the retaining BET surface area (-5% after shaping). Analogously, the shaped materials presented xenon and krypton sorption isotherms correlated to their BET surface area and high predicted xenon/krypton selectivity, from 7.1 to 9.0. Therefore, binder-aided extrusion-spheronization is an adapted method to produce shaped solids with adequate mechanical resistance and retained functional properties.

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
A series of metal-organic frameworks composed of different metal ions and organic linkers were facilely synthesized and used as adsorbents for five diamide insecticides for the first time. Among them, MIL-101-NH2 performed much better than other materials due to extraordinarily high specific surface area, strong water stability, specific interaction with analytes. A sensitive method was developed with MIL-101-NH2 based dispersive solid phase extraction combining with liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (dSPE-LC-MS/MS). Important parameters including adsorbent amount, enrichment time, elution solvent and volume, pH and salt effect were investigated to achieve the best enrichment efficiency. At selected conditions, the proposed method showed ultrahigh sensitivity with limits of detection low to 0.01-0.03 ng/mL, which was 2-3 orders of magnitude lower than reported methods. Wide linearity in the range of 0.03-1000 ng/mL (chlorantraniliprole, cyantraniliprole) and 0.1-2000 ng/mL (flubendiamide, cyclaniliprole, tetrachlorantraniliprole) were established with satisfactory coefficient of determination. The method was successfully used for analyzing of diamide insecticides in environmental water samples and flubendiamide was detected in several samples. This work demonstrated the first example of developing novel nanomaterials in trace amount diamide insecticide enrichment from practical samples, which opens a new perspective in establishing nanomaterial-based sample preparation method for diamide insecticide analysis.

Abstract
Capture and separation of xenon and krypton by adsorption are particularly important issues at room temperature in both industry and environmental security. Herein, hydrophobic zinc-based frameworks (CALF-20) were synthesized to separate mixtures of Xe, Kr and N2, and adsorptive properties and stability of as-prepared samples were investigated in detail. CALF-20 with the 1,2,4-triazole and oxalate as the ligand and Zn metal centers showed a surface area of 442 m2 g−1 and average pore size of 6–7 Å, and exhibited excellent stability in a high-temperature acidic solution. The single and binary adsorption datum represented that CALF-20 has a high Xe uptake of 2.45 mmol g−1 and Xe/Kr selectivity of 13.2, as well as high Xe/N2 selectivity of 62 at 298 K and 1.0 bar. The initial adsorption heat and Henry's constant of Xe on the CALF-20 were determined to be 31.7 kJ mol−1 and 21.77 mmol g−1 bar−1 by isotherms, indicating a suitable affinity for Xe capture and Xe/Kr separation. In addition, simulation results indicated that the simulated adsorption isotherms and adsorption heats are well-matched with experimental results, and the adsorption affinity from the C–H groups of 1,2,4-trizole ring for Xe is significantly stronger than that for Kr. Factoring in the Xe uptake, selectivity and Henry's constant, hydrophobic CALF-20 exceeded most MOFs in Xe/Kr/N2 mixture separation; in particular, high-temperature, gaseous water and acid solution have no negative effects on Xe adsorption.![]()

Abstract
Nanoporous framework materials are a promising class of materials for energy-efficient technology of xenon/krypton separation by physisorption. Many studies on Xe/Kr separation by adsorption have focused on the determination of structure/property relationships, the description of theoretical limits of performance, and the identification of top-performing materials. Here, we provide a study based on a high-throughput screening of the adsorption of Xe, Kr, and Xe/Kr mixtures in 12 020 experimental MOF materials, to provide a better comprehension of the thermodynamics behind Xe/Kr separation in nanoporous materials and the microscopic origins of Xe/Kr selectivity at both low and ambient pressure.

Abstract
Efficient separation of hazardous radionuclides from radioactive waste remains a challenge to the global acceptance of nuclear power due to complex nature of the waste, high radiotoxicities and presence of large number of interfering elements. Sorption of radioactive elements from liquid phase, gas phase or their solid particulates on various synthetic organic, inorganic or biological sorbents is looked as one of the options for their remediation. In this context, highly porous materials, termed as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), have shown promise for efficient capturing of various types of radioactive elements. Major advantages that have been advocated for the application of MOFs in radionuclide sorption are their excellent chemical stability, and their large surface area due to abundant functional groups, and porosity. In this review, recent developments on the application of MOFs for radionuclide sequestration are briefly discussed. Focus has been devoted to address the separation of few crucial radioactive elements such as Th, U, Tc, Re, Se, Sr and Cs from aqueous solutions, which are important for liquid radioactive waste management. Apart from these radioactive metal ions, removal of radionuclide bearing gases such as I2, Xe, and Kr are also discussed. Aspects related to the interaction of MOFs with the radionuclides are also discussed. Finally, a perspective for comprehensive investigation of MOFs for their applications in radioactive waste management has been outlined.

Abstract
The collection of high-purity noble gases with recyclable nuclides provides substantial economic benefits and minimizes the risk of environmental pollution, which is a future development tendency for nuclear industries. Here, Ce-SINAP-1, with its radiation-resistance (up to 20 kGy of γ-ray irradiation) and suitable pore channels for the separation of noble gases (Ar, Kr and Xe), was synthesized. Ce-SINAP-1 exhibited the selective adsorption of Xe (2.02 mmol g−1) over Kr (0.67 mmol g−1) and Ar (0.27 mmol g−1) at 293 K (1 bar) with a Henry's selectivity of 8.24 (Xe/Kr), and an ideal adsorbed solution theory selectivity of 14.9 (Xe : Kr 20 : 80). The result of the dynamic breakthrough experiment also indicates a good separation for Xe/Kr with Ar. A high selectivity of Xe over Kr at 293 K was achieved by a 3D Ce-based organic framework due to the geometric features. Favorable thermal stability and ionizing radio-resistance render it a promising candidate for radioactive inert gases treatment.![]()

Abstract
Aluminum (Al)-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been shown to have good stability toward γ irradiation, making them promising candidates for durable adsorbents for capturing volatile radioactive nuclides. In this work, we studied a series of existing Al-MOFs to capture trace radioactive organic iodide (ROI) from a gas composition (100 ppm CH3I, 400 ppm CO2, 21% O2, and 78% N2) resembling the off-gas composition from reprocessing the used nuclear fuel using Grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Based on the results and understanding established from studying the existing Al-MOFs, we proceed by functionalizing the top-performing CAU-11 with different functional groups to propose better MOFs for ROI capture. Our study suggests that extraordinary ROI adsorption and separation capability could be realized by -SO3H functionalization in CAU-11. It was mainly owing to the joint effect of the enhanced pore surface polarity arising from -SO3H functionalization and the μ-OH group of CAU-11.

Abstract
Organophosphorus nerve agents, a class of extremely toxic chemical warfare agents (CWAs), have remained a threat to humanity because of their continued use against civilian populations. To date, Zr(IV)-based metal organic framework (MOFs) are the most prevalent nerve agent hydrolysis catalysts, and relatively few reports disclose MOFs containing nodes with other Lewis acidic transition metals. In this work, we leveraged this synthetic tunability to explore how the identity of the transition metal node in the M-MFU-4l series of MOFs (M = Zn, Cu, Ni, Co) influences the catalytic performance toward the hydrolysis of the nerve agent simulant dimethyl (4-nitrophenyl)phosphate (DMNP). Experimental studies reveal that Cu-MFU-4l exhibits the best performance in this series with a half-life for hydrolysis of ∼2 min under these conditions. In contrast, both Ni- and Co-MFU-4l demonstrate significantly slower reactivity toward DMNP, as they both fail to surpass 30% conversion of DMNP after 1 h under analogous conditions. Further modification of the active site within Cu-MFU-4l is possible, and we found that although the identity of the anion coordinated to the Cu(II)-X (X = Cl-, HCOO-, ClO4-, NO3-) active site has little influence on the catalytic performance, reduction of the Cu(II) sites yields nodes that contain Cu(I) ions in a trigonal geometry with open metal sites, leading to remarkable catalytic activity with a half-life for hydrolysis less than 2 min. Computational studies indicate the Cu(I) sites exhibit stronger binding affinities than Cu(II) to both water and DMNP, which corroborates the experimental results.

Abstract
Krypton (Kr) and xenon (Xe) are nowadays widely applied in technical and industrial fields. Separating and collecting highly pure Xe from nuclear facilities are necessary and urgent. However, the technology is limited due to the inert nature of Xe and other interferential factors. In this work, a calcium-based metal-organic framework, Ca-SINAP-1, which comprises a three-dimensional microporous framework with a suitable pore width, was researched for xenon and krypton separation through both experimental and theoretical methods. Ca-SINAP-1, synthesized in solvothermal and gamma ray conditions, features accessible open-metal sites, exhibits a high Xe/Kr selectivity of 10.32, and owns a Xe adsorption capacity of 2.87 mmol/g at room temperature (1.0 bar). Particularly, its excellent chemical stability (from pH 2 to 13) and thermal stability (up to 550 °C), as well as radiation-resistance (up to 400 kGy β irradiations), render this material a promising candidate for radioactive inert gases treatment.

Abstract
Among various fission products generated in nuclear reactors, xenon and krypton are two important fission gases with high flow, diffusivity, and radioactivity. Moreover, xenon isolated from these products is an expensive industrial resource with wide applications in medicine and lighting, which makes the development of efficient methods for separation of xenon/krypton significant. However, it is usually difficult for xenon/krypton to be adsorbed by chemical adsorbents due to their inert gas properties, and sub-nanoporous adsorbents proven to be workable for the separation of xenon/krypton are still hard to prepare and regulate the pore size. Herein, we report two novel sub-nanoporous covalent organic frameworks (COFs), which were applied to the sieving of xenon/krypton for the first time. The sub-nanoporous COFs were synthesized via aldehyde-amine polycondensation reactions and the subsequent pore size regulation and homogenization process by using a facile, operational, and efficient multiple-site alkylation strategy. Impressively, the as-prepared sub-nanoporous COFs realized the efficient adsorption and sieving of xenon/krypton owing to their slightly larger pore sizes (∼7 Å) than the dynamic diameters of xenon/krypton and their larger pore volumes. The maximum adsorption capacity for xenon is up to 85.6 cm3/g, and the xenon/krypton selectivity can reach to 9.7. Moreover, the as-prepared COFs possess good γ-ray irradiation stability, which endows them with great potentials for the sieving of radioactive xenon/krypton in the practical application. The multiple-site alkylation strategy proposed in this study provides a valuable approach for the pore construction and control of the porous materials, especially the sub-nanoporous adsorption materials.

Abstract
Obtaining highly valuable Xe from air or other sources is highly important but still seriously restricted by its inherent inert nature and the great difficulty in separation from other inert gases, especially for Xe and Kr that show comparable size. In this work, we show both experimental and theoretical research of how to boost the selective adsorption of Xe over Kr by double-accessible open-metal site in metal-organic framework (MOF). The MOF, namely, UTSA-74, shows a high Xe uptake up to 2.7 mmol/g and a lower Kr uptake of 0.58 mmol/g at 298 K and 1 bar, leading to a high selectivity of 8.4. The effective Xe/Kr separation was further confirmed by both transient breakthrough simulation and experimental breakthrough. The separation mechanism, as unveiled by the grand canonical Monte Carlo simulation and dispersion-corrected density functional theory calculation, is due to the unique double-accessible open-metal site in UTSA-74 that affords stronger interaction toward Xe than Kr.

Abstract
Capture and storage of volatile radionuclides that result from processing of used nuclear fuel is a major challenge. Solid adsorbents, in particular ultra-microporous metal-organic frameworks, could be effective in capturing these volatile radionuclides, including 85Kr. However, metal-organic frameworks are found to have higher affinity for xenon than for krypton, and have comparable affinity for Kr and N2. Also, the adsorbent needs to have high radiation stability. To address these challenges, here we evaluate a series of ultra-microporous metal-organic frameworks, SIFSIX-3-M (M = Zn, Cu, Ni, Co, or Fe) for their capability in 85Kr separation and storage using a two-bed breakthrough method. These materials were found to have higher Kr/N2 selectivity than current benchmark materials, which leads to a notable decrease in the nuclear waste volume. The materials were systematically studied for gamma and beta irradiation stability, and SIFSIX-3-Cu is found to be the most radiation resistant.

Abstract
We have studied the adsorption properties of Xe and Kr in a highly microporous hydrogen-bonded organic framework based on 1,3,5-tris(4-carboxyphenyl)benzene, named HOF-BTB. HOF-BTB can reversibly adsorb both noble gases, and it shows a higher affinity for Xe than Kr. At 1 bar, the adsorption amounts of Xe were 3.37 mmol g−1 and 2.01 mmol g−1 at 273 K and 295 K, respectively. Ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST) calculation predicts selective separation of Xe over Kr from an equimolar binary Xe/Kr mixture, and breakthrough experiments demonstrate the efficient separation of Xe from the Xe/Kr mixture under a dynamic flow condition. Consecutive breakthrough experiments with simple regeneration treatment at 298 K reveal that HOF-BTB would be an energy-saving adsorbent in an adsorptive separation process, which could be attributed to the relatively low isosteric heat (Qst) of adsorption of Xe. The activated HOF-BTB is very stable in both water and aqueous acidic solutions for more than one month, and it also shows a well-preserved crystallinity and porosity upon water/acid treatment. Besides, HOF-BTB adsorbs about 30.5 wt%, the highest value for HOF materials, of water vapor during the adsorption–desorption cycles, with a 19% decrease in adsorption amounts of water vapor after five cycles. A highly robust microporous hydrogen-bonded organic framework selectively separates Xe from Kr, as well as efficiently adsorbs water vapor.![]()

Abstract
The design and screening of porous materials for noble gas adsorption and separation are an important issue in the production and utilization of gases. The conventional method to do this is via molecular simulation. In this work, we introduced a classical density functional theory (CDFT) to replace molecular simulation because CDFT is more efficient. A molecular dynamics (MD)/CDFT combined method was proposed to consider the flexibility of the adsorbent. The theory was first examined by comparing it to reported experiments and simulations. Then, the theory was applied to determine the most favorable adsorbents for noble gas adsorption/separation from 4764 real adsorbents and 1200 hypothetical adsorbents. A series of favorable adsorbents was identified, and some of them seemed promising. The macroscopic adsorption isotherms and microscopic density profiles of the most favorable adsorbents were examined, and the adsorption mechanisms were revealed. The specific separation of Kr/Xe was examined, and two of the adsorbents showed higher adsorption efficiency than shown in previously reported data.

Abstract
Olefin/paraffin separation is an important and challenging issue because the two molecules have similar physicochemical properties. Although a couple of olefin adsorbents have been developed by introducing inorganic nanoparticles into metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), there has been no study on the development of an olefin adsorbent by introducing a certain organic functional group into a MOF. In this study, we posited that azo compounds could offer olefin/paraffin selectivity. We have revealed using first-principles calculations that the simplest aromatic azo compound (azobenzene, Azob) has an unusual propylene/propane selectivity due to special electrostatic interactions between Azob and propylene molecules. On the basis of this interesting discovery, we have synthesized a novel propylene adsorbent, MIL-101(Cr)_DAA, by grafting 4,4'-diaminoazobenzene (DAA) into open metal sites in a mesoporous MIL-101(Cr). Remarkably, MIL-101(Cr)_DAA exhibited enhanced propylene/propane selectivity as well as considerably higher propylene heat of adsorption compared to pristine MIL-101(Cr) while maintaining the high working capacity of MIL-101(Cr). This clearly indicates that azo compounds when introduced into MOFs can provide propylene selectivity. Moreover, MIL-101(Cr)_DAA showed good C3H6/C3H8 separation and easy regeneration performances from packed-bed breakthrough experiments and retained its propylene adsorption capacity even after exposure to air for 12 h. As far as we know, this is the first study that improves the olefin selectivity of MOF by postsynthetically introducing an organic functional group.

Abstract
Cu(I) species were successfully chelated to nitrogen atoms in a nitrogen-rich porous organic polymer (SNW-1) by mixing with a CuCl solution (Scheme 1). Although pristine SNW-1 adsorbs CO2 better than CO, Cu(I)-incorporated SNW-1 (nCu(I)@SNW-1) shows selective CO adsorption over CO2 because of the π-complexation of CO with Cu(I). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first CO/CO2 selectivity observed for POP-based materials. 1.3Cu(I)@SNW-1 exhibits high CO/CO2 selectivity (23) at 1bar and a large CO working capacity (0.6mmol/g) at 0.1-1bar. Moreover, the breakthrough and thermogravimetric experiments show that 1.3Cu(I)@SNW-1 can effectively separate CO from CO2 under dynamic mixture conditions and can be easily regenerated under mild regeneration conditions without heating the column. Furthermore, 1.3Cu(I)@SNW-1 exhibited a good stability under exposure to atmospheric air for 3h or 9h. These results suggest that chelating Cu(I) species to a nitrogen-rich porous organic polymer can be an efficient strategy to separate and recover CO from CO/CO2 mixtures.
