Nan Y, Feng C, Zhuo Y, Hu P. Co-adsorption enhancement of formaldehyde/carbon dioxide over modified hexagonal boron nitride for whole-surface capture purification. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 356:120586. [PMID: 38513581 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.120586] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2023] [Revised: 01/20/2024] [Accepted: 03/10/2024] [Indexed: 03/23/2024]
Abstract
Simultaneous capture of formaldehyde (HCHO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) in indoor air is promising of achieving indoor-air purification. Of all potential adsorbents, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is one of the most suitable species owing to facile formation of attraction points. Therefore, in this study, performances of HCHO and CO2 being adsorbed over pure/modified h-BN are systematically investigated via density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Minutely speaking, direct interaction between HCHO and CO2, single-point adsorption enhancement of HCHO over modified h-BN, co-adsorption reinforcement of HCHO/CO2 as well as relevant thermodynamic characteristics are major research contents. According to calculation results, there is relatively strong attraction between HCHO and CO2 owing to hydrogen bonds, which is in favor of co-adsorption of HCHO/CO2. As to single-adsorption of HCHO, C-doped h-BN shows better adsorption features than P-doped h-BN and C/P-doped h-BN is slightly weakened in adsorption ability due to surficial deformation caused by P atoms. For co-adsorption of HCHO/CO2, CO2 is the protagonist via formation of quasi-carbonate with the help of delocalized π-orbital electrons. Regarding effects of temperatures on adsorption strengths, they depend on interelectronic interactions among dopant atoms and finally derives from dispersion of π bonds across adsorbents. Overall, this study provides detailed mechanisms for co-capture of HCHO/CO2 to accomplish indoor-air purification.

Multilayer Graphtriyne Membranes for Separation and Storage of CO2: Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Post-Combustion Model Mixtures. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27185958. [PMID: 36144692 PMCID: PMC9500597 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27185958] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2022] [Revised: 08/29/2022] [Accepted: 09/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
The ability to remove carbon dioxide from gaseous mixtures is a necessary step toward the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. As a contribution to this field of research, we performed a molecular dynamics study assessing the separation and adsorption properties of multi-layered graphtriyne membranes on gaseous mixtures of CO2, N2, and H2O. These mixtures closely resemble post-combustion gaseous products and are, therefore, suitable prototypes with which to model possible technological applications in the field of CO2 removal methodologies. The molecular dynamics simulations rely on a fairly accurate description of involved force fields, providing reliable predictions of selectivity and adsorption coefficients. The characterization of the interplay between molecules and membrane structure also permitted us to elucidate the adsorption and crossing processes at an atomistic level of detail. The work is intended as a continuation and a strong enhancement of the modeling research and characterization of such materials as molecular sieves for CO2 storage and removal.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with 2D or 3D networks are a class of novel porous crystalline materials, and have attracted more and more attention in the field of gas purification owing to their attractive physicochemical properties, such as high surface area, adjustable functionality and structure, low density, and high stability. However, few systematic reviews about the application statuses of COFs in gas purification are available, especially about non-CO2 harmful gases. In this review, the recent progress of COFs about the capture, catalysis, and detection of common harmful gases (such as CO2, NOx, SO2, H2S, NH3 and volatile pollutants) were comprehensively discussed. The design strategies of COF functional materials from porosity adjustment to surface functionalization (including bottom-up approach, post-synthetic approach, and blending with other materials) for certain application were summarized in detail. Furthermore, the faced challenges and future research directions of COFs in the harmful gas treatment were clearly proposed to inspire the development of COFs.
