Abstract
The deep eutectic solvent (DES) has emerged in recent years as a valuable medium for converting CO2 into valuable chemicals because of its easy availability, stability, and safety, and its capability to dissolve carbon dioxide. CO2 valorization in DES has evolved rapidly over the past 20 years. As well as being used as solvents for acid/base-promoted CO2 conversion for the production of cyclic carbonates and carbamates, DESs can be used as reaction media for electrochemical CO2 reduction for formic acid and CO. Among these products, cyclic carbonates can be used as solvents and electrolytes, carbamate derivatives include the core structure of many herbicides and pesticides, and formic acid and carbon monoxide, the C1 electrochemical products, are essential raw materials in the chemical industries. An overview of the application of DESs for CO2 valorization in recent years is presented in this review, followed by a compilation and comparison of product types and reaction mechanisms within the different types of DESs, and an outlook on how CO2 valorization will be developed in the future.

Abstract
The efficient purification of cyclohexane is critical, serving as an essential feedstock to produce resins, nylon fibers and pharmaceutical intermediates. However, efficient purification remains a challenging task due to the similarity of cyclohexane and benzene molecules in terms of size and boiling point. In this work, we reported on the synergy of pore size and silanols inside an -SVR-type zeolite for the efficient production of ultrapure cyclohexane (benzene <1 ppm) from benzene/cyclohexane mixture. Under ambient conditions, the SSZ-74 zeolite demonstrated the highest mass-based productivity of 14.5 L/kg for ultrapure cyclohexane among several common zeolites with a considerable dynamic selectivity of ~9.5. The separation ability was evaluated through density functional theory (DFT) calculations and ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations. The unique ordered silanols inside the zeolite frameworks demonstrated strong but reversible interactions with benzene through SiOH…π interactions, as revealed by in situ Fourier Transform infrared (FTIR) spectra.

Abstract
A strategy of tuning azole-based ionic liquids for reversible CO2 capture from ambient air was reported. Through tuning the basicity of anion as well as the type of cation, an ideal azole-based ionic liquid with both high CO2 capacity and excellent stability was synthesized, which exhibited a highest single-component isotherm uptake of 2.17 mmol/g at the atmospheric CO2 concentration of 0.4 mbar at 30 °C, even in the presence of water. The bound CO2 can be released by relatively mild heating of the IL-CO2 at 80 °C, which makes it promising for energy-efficient CO2 desorption and sorbent regeneration, leading to excellent reversibility. To the best of our knowledge, these azole-based ionic liquids are superior to other adsorbent materials for direct air capture due to their dual-tunable properties and high CO2 capture efficiency, offering a new prospect for efficient and reversible direct air capture technologies.

Abstract
The current paradigm considers the control of the MOF/polymer interface mostly for achieving a good compatibility between the two components to ensure the fabrication of continuous mixed-matrix metal-organic framework (MMMOF) membranes. Here, we unravel that the interfacial pore shape nanostructure plays a key role for an optimum molecular transport. The prototypical ultrasmall pore AlFFIVE-1-Ni MOF was assembled with the polymer PIM-1 to design a composite with gradually expanding pore from the MOF entrance to the MOF/polymer interfacial region. Concentration gradient-driven molecular dynamics simulations demonstrated that this pore nanostructuring enables an optimum guided path for the gas molecules at the MOF/polymer interface that decisively leads to an acceleration of the molecular transport all along the MMMOF membrane. This numerical prediction resulted in the successful fabrication of a [001]-oriented nanosheets AlFFIVE-1-Ni/PIM-1 MMMOF membrane exhibiting an excellent CO2 permeability, better than many MMMs, and ideally associated with a sufficiently high CO2/CH4 selectivity that makes this membrane very promising for natural gas/biogas purification.

Abstract
Removal of CO2 from air is one of the key human challenges in battling global warming. SIFSIX-3-Cu is a promising metal-organic framework (MOF) suggested for carbon capture even at low CO2 concentrations. However, the impact of humidity on its performance in direct air capture (DAC) is poorly understood. To evaluate the MOF performance for DAC application under humid conditions, we investigate the adsorption of H2O, CO2, and N2 using density functional theory (DFT), grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC), and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The simulation results show a higher tendency of SIFSIX-3-Cu towards H2O adsorption rather than CO2 (and N2). The results agree with the adsorption isotherms for the pure compounds from the Sips model. The extended Sips model shows 1.34 mmol g-1 CO2 adsorption at the atmospheric pressure and 298 K for the CO2/N2 mixture containing 400 ppm CO2, and low CO2 adsorption (less than 0.75 mmol g-1) at a low relative humidity (RH) of 20%. This finding highlights the efficiency of SIFSIX-3-Cu for DAC in dry air and the negative impact of humidity on the CO2 selective adsorption. Therefore, we suggest to consider the impairing of humidity effects when designing a SIFSIX-3-Cu-based CO2 separation process and removal of any water vapor before introduction of the air to SIFSIX-3-Cu.

Abstract
Herein, a robust microporous aluminum tetracarboxylate framework, MIL-120(Al)-AP, (MIL, AP: Institute Lavoisier and Ambient Pressure synthesis, respectively) is reported, which exhibits high CO2 uptake (1.9 mmol g-1 at 0.1 bar, 298 K). In situ Synchrotron X-ray diffraction measurements together with Monte Carlo simulations reveal that this structure offers a favorable CO2 capture configuration with the pores being decorated with a high density of µ2-OH groups and accessible aromatic rings. Meanwhile, based on calculations and experimental evidence, moderate host-guest interactions Qst (CO2) value of MIL-120(Al)-AP (-40 kJ mol-1) is deduced, suggesting a relatively low energy penalty for full regeneration. Moreover, an environmentally friendly ambient pressure green route, relying on inexpensive raw materials, is developed to prepare MIL-120(Al)-AP at the kilogram scale with a high yield while the Metal- Organic Framework (MOF) is further shaped with inorganic binders as millimeter-sized mechanically stable beads. First evidences of its efficient CO2/N2 separation ability are validated by breakthrough experiments while operando IR experiments indicate a kinetically favorable CO2 adsorption over water. Finally, a techno-economic analysis gives an estimated production cost of ≈ 13 $ kg-1, significantly lower than for other benchmark MOFs. These advancements make MIL-120(Al)-AP an excellent candidate as an adsorbent for industrial-scale CO2 capture processes.

Abstract
The emerging moisture-driven energy generation (MEG) technology opens up new possibilities for humidity-responsive materials, devices, and interdisciplinary opportunities in fields like information security. However, such potential remains untapped. Here, an original MEG structure with a hygroionic energy-conversion route by selective coating of ionic hygroscopic hydrogels on a carbon black surface is reported. The hygroionic route features a process in which the scavenged energy is stored in the electrical double layers formed at the interfaces between the ionic hydrogel and the carbon nanoparticles. The resultant electrical field developed across the hydrogel-coated wet carbon and the rest of the dry carbon area is thus durably lasted. Based on this unique structure, hygroelectronic information interfaces (HEII) for humidity-regulated information encryption and display are put forward by devising hydrogel patterns on a carbon platform. Further by tuning the hygroscopicity of the ionic hydrogels and incorporating encoding methods (e.g., Morse code), it is demonstrated that the HEII platform is programmable to carry different information in certain humidity ranges. Unlike those conventional anti-counterfeiting methods that optically reveal the hidden information once the required stimulus is provided, the new HEII serves as a hierarchical solution for high-security encryption and display.

Abstract
The design of molecular sieves is vital for gas separation, but it suffers from a long-standing issue of slow adsorption kinetics due to the intrinsic contradiction between molecular sieving and diffusion within restricted nanopores. We report a molecular sieve ZU-609 with local sieving channels that feature molecular sieving gates and rapid diffusion channels. The precise cross-sectional cutoff of molecular sieving gates enables the exclusion of propane from propylene. The coexisting large channels constituted by sulfonic anions and helically arranged metal-organic architectures allow the fast adsorption kinetics of propylene, and the measured propylene diffusion coefficient in ZU-609 is one to two orders of magnitude higher than previous molecular sieves. Propylene with 99.9% purity is obtained through breakthrough experiments with a productivity of 32.2 L kg-1.

Abstract
Physisorption relying on crystalline porous materials offers prospective avenues for sustainable separation processes, greenhouse gas capture, and energy storage. However, the lack of end-to-end deep learning model for adsorption prediction confines the rapid and precise screen of crystalline porous materials. Here, we present DeepSorption, a spatial atom interaction learning network that realizes accurate, fast, and direct structure-adsorption prediction with only information of atomic coordinate and chemical element types. The breakthrough in prediction is attributed to the awareness of global structure and local spatial atom interactions endowed by the developed Matformer, which provides the intuitive visualization of atomic-level thinking and executing trajectory in crystalline porous materials prediction. Complete adsorption curves prediction could be performed using DeepSorption with a higher accuracy than Grand canonical Monte Carlo simulation and other machine learning models, a 20-35% decline in the mean absolute error compared to graph neural network CGCNN and machine learning models based on descriptors. Since the established direct associations between raw structure and target functions are based on the understanding of the fundamental chemistry of interatomic interactions, the deep learning network is rationally universal in predicting the different physicochemical properties of various crystalline materials.

Abstract
Excessive CO2 in the air can not only lead to serious climate problems but also cause serious damage to humans in confined spaces. Here, a novel metal-organic framework (FJI-H38) with adaptive ultramicropores and multiple active sites is prepared. It can sieve CO2 from air with the very high adsorption capacity/selectivity but the lowest adsorption enthalpy among the reported physical adsorbents. Such excellent adsorption performances can be retained even at high humidity. Mechanistic studies show that the polar ultramicropore is very suitable for molecular sieving of CO2 from N2 , and the distinguishable adsorption sites for H2 O and CO2 enable them to be co-adsorbed. Notably, the adsorbed-CO2 -driven pore shrinkage can further promote CO2 capture while the adsorbed-H2 O-induced phase transitions in turn inhibit H2 O adsorption. Moreover, FJI-H38 has excellent stability and recyclability and can be synthesized on a large scale, making it a practical trace CO2 adsorbent. This will provide a new strategy for developing practical adsorbents for CO2 capture from the air.

Cooperative Carbon Dioxide Capture in Diamine-Appended Magnesium-Olsalazine Frameworks. J Am Chem Soc 2023; 145:17151-17163.

Abstract
Diamine-appended Mg2(dobpdc) (dobpdc4- = 4,4'-dioxidobiphenyl-3,3'-dicarboxylate) metal-organic frameworks have emerged as promising candidates for carbon capture owing to their exceptional CO2 selectivities, high separation capacities, and step-shaped adsorption profiles, which arise from a unique cooperative adsorption mechanism resulting in the formation of ammonium carbamate chains. Materials appended with primary,secondary-diamines featuring bulky substituents, in particular, exhibit excellent stabilities and CO2 adsorption properties. However, these frameworks display double-step adsorption behavior arising from steric repulsion between ammonium carbamates, which ultimately results in increased regeneration energies. Herein, we report frameworks of the type diamine-Mg2(olz) (olz4- = (E)-5,5'-(diazene-1,2-diyl)bis(2-oxidobenzoate)) that feature diverse diamines with bulky substituents and display desirable single-step CO2 adsorption across a wide range of pressures and temperatures. Analysis of CO2 adsorption data reveals that the basicity of the pore-dwelling amine─in addition to its steric bulk─is an important factor influencing adsorption step pressure; furthermore, the amine steric bulk is found to be inversely correlated with the degree of cooperativity in CO2 uptake. One material, ee-2-Mg2(olz) (ee-2 = N,N-diethylethylenediamine), adsorbs >90% of the CO2 from a simulated coal flue stream and exhibits exceptional thermal and oxidative stability over the course of extensive adsorption/desorption cycling, placing it among top-performing adsorbents to date for CO2 capture from a coal flue gas. Spectroscopic characterization and van der Waals-corrected density functional theory calculations indicate that diamine-Mg2(olz) materials capture CO2 via the formation of ammonium carbamate chains. These results point more broadly to the opportunity for fundamentally advancing materials in this class through judicious design.

Abstract
Adsorptive separation using porous materials is a promising approach for separating alkynes/olefins due to its energy efficiency, while the deep removal of trace amounts of C2H2 and CO2 from C2H4 is still very challenging for a commercial adsorbent. Herein, we report a low-cost inorganic metal cation-mediated mordenite (MOR) zeolite with the specific location and distribution of K+ cations acting as a goalkeeper for accurately controlling diffusion channels, as evidence of the experimental and simulation results. Deep purification of C2H4 from ternary CO2/C2H2/C2H4 mixtures was first realized on K-MOR with exceptional results, achieving a remarkable polymer-grade C2H4 productivity of 1742 L kg-1 for the CO2/C2H2/C2H4 mixture. Our approach which only involves adjusting the equilibrium ions, is both promising and cost-effective, and opens up new possibilities for the use of zeolites in the industrial light hydrocarbon adsorption and purification process.

Abstract
Capturing CO2 has become increasingly important. However, wide industrial applications of conventional CO2 capture technologies are limited by their slow CO2 sorption and desorption kinetics. Accordingly, this research is designed to overcome the challenge by synthesizing mesoporous MgO nanoparticles (MgO-NPs) with a new method that uses PEG 1500 as a soft template. MgO surface structure is nonstoichiometric due to its distinctive shape; the abundant Lewis base sites provided by oxygen vacancies promote CO2 capture. Adding 2 wt % MgO-NPs to 20 wt % monoethanolamine (MEA) can increase the breakthrough time (the time with 90% CO2 capturing efficiency) by ∼3000% and can increase the CO2 absorption capacity within the breakthrough time by ∼3660%. The data suggest that MgO-NPs can accelerate the rate and increase CO2 desorption capacity by up to ∼8740% and ∼2290% at 90 °C, respectively. Also, the excellent stability of the system within 50 cycles is verified. These findings demonstrate a new strategy to innovate MEA absorbents currently widely used in commercial post-combustion CO2 capture plants.

Abstract
Global warming threatens the entire planet, and solutions such as direct air capture (DAC) can be used to meet net-zero goals and go beyond. This study investigates using DAC in a 5-step temperature vacuum swing adsorption (TVSA) cycle with adsorbents' Li-X and Na-X, readily available industrial zeolites, to capture and concentrate CO2 from air in cold climates. From this study, we report that Na-X in cold conditions has the highest known CO2 adsorption capacity in air of 2.54 mmol/g. This combined with Na-X's low CO2 heat of adsorption, and fast uptake-rate in comparison to other benchmark materials, allowed for Na-X operating in cold conditions to have the lowest reported DAC operating energy of 1.1 MWh/tonCO2. These findings from this study show the promise of this process in cold climates of Canada, Alaska, Greenland, and Antarctica to be part of the solution to global warming.

Abstract
A combination of gas adsorption and gas breakthrough measurements show that the metal-organic framework, Al(HCOO)3 (ALF), which can be made inexpensively from commodity chemicals, exhibits excellent CO2 adsorption capacities and outstanding CO2/N2 selectivity that enable it to remove CO2 from dried CO2-containing gas streams at elevated temperatures (323 kelvin). Notably, ALF is scalable, readily pelletized, stable to SO2 and NO, and simple to regenerate. Density functional theory calculations and in situ neutron diffraction studies reveal that the preferential adsorption of CO2 is a size-selective separation that depends on the subtle difference between the kinetic diameters of CO2 and N2. The findings are supported by additional measurements, including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and variable temperature powder and single-crystal x-ray diffraction.

Abstract
Herein, we describe the use of an ultramicroporous metal-organic framework (MOF) with a composition of [Ni3(pzdc)2(ade)2(H2O)1.5]·(H2O)1.3 (pzdc: 3,5-pyrazole dicarboxylic acid; ade: adenine), for the selective capture of carbon dioxide (CO2) from wet flue gas followed by its conversion to value-added products. This MOF is comprised of one-dimensional Ni(II)-pyrazole dicarboxylate-adenine chains; through pi-pi stacking and H-bonding interactions, these one-dimensional chains stack into a three-dimensional supramolecular structure with a one-dimensional pore network. Upon heating, our MOF undergoes a color change from light blue to lavender, indicating a change in the coordination geometry of Ni(II). Variable temperature ultraviolet-visible (UV/vis) spectroscopy data revealed a blue shift of the d-d transitions, suggesting a change in the Ni-coordination geometry from octahedral to a mixture of square planar and square pyramidal. The removal of the water molecules coordinated to Ni(II) leads to the generation of a MOF with open Ni(II) sites. Nitrogen isotherms collected at 77 K and 1 bar revealed that this MOF is microporous with a pore volume of 0.130 cm3 g-1. Carbon dioxide isotherms show a step in the uptake at low pressure, after which the CO2 uptake is saturated. The step in the CO2 uptake is likely attributable to the rearrangement of the three-dimensional supramolecular structure to accommodate CO2 within its pores. The affinity of this MOF for CO2 is 35.5 kJ mol-1 at low loadings, and it increases to 41.9 kJ mol-1 at high loadings. While our MOF is porous to CO2 and water (H2O) at 298 K, it is not porous to N2, and the CO2/N2 selectivity increases from 28.5 to 31.5 as a function of pressure. Breakthrough experiments reveal that this MOF can capture CO2 from dry and wet flue gas with uptake capacities of 1.48 ± 0.01 and 1.14 ± 0.06 mmol g-1, respectively. The MOF can be regenerated and reused at least three times, demonstrating consistent CO2 uptake capacities. Upon understanding the sorption behavior of this MOF, catalysis experiments show that the MOF is catalytically active in the fixation of CO2 into an epoxide ring for the formation of a cyclic carbonate. The turnover frequency for this reaction is 21.95 ± 0.03 h-1. The MOF showed no catalytic deterioration after two cycles and maintained comparable catalytic activity when dry and wet CO2/N2 mixtures were used. This highlights that both N2 and H2O do not dramatically affect the catalytic activity of our MOF toward CO2 fixation.

Abstract
Novel chemical sensors that improve detection and quantification of CO2 are critical to ensuring safe and cost-effective monitoring of carbon storage sites. Fiber optic (FO)-based chemical sensor systems are promising field-deployable systems for real-time monitoring of CO2 in geological formations for long-range distributed sensing. In this work, a mixed-matrix composite integrated FO sensor system was developed with a purely optical readout that reliably operates as a detector for gas-phase and dissolved CO2. A mixed-matrix composite sensor coating consisting of plasmonic nanocrystals and hydrophobic zeolite embedded in a polymer matrix was integrated on the FO sensor. The mixed-matrix composite FO sensor showed excellent reversibility/stability in a high humidity environment and sensitivity to gas-phase CO2 over a large concentration range. This remarkable sensing performance was enabled by using plasmonic nanocrystals to significantly enhance the sensitivity and a hydrophobic zeolite to effectively mitigate interference from water vapor. The sensor exhibited the ability to sense CO2 in the presence of other geologically relevant gases, which is of importance for applications in geological formations. A prototype FO sensor configuration, which possesses a robust sensing capability for monitoring dissolved CO2 in natural water, was demonstrated. Reproducibility was confirmed over many cycles, both in a laboratory setting and in the field. More importantly, we demonstrated on-line monitoring capabilities with a wireless telemetry system, which transferred the data from the field to a website. The combination of outstanding CO2 sensing properties and facile coating processability makes this mixed-matrix composite FO sensor a good candidate for practical carbon storage applications.

Abstract
Nanosized ERI-type aluminophosphate was prepared by the calcination of a precursor material (denoted as ECNU-38P) synthesized using 1,1,6,6-tetramethyl-1,6-diazacyclododecane-1,6-diium hydroxide (TDDH) as a structure-directing agent. The structure of ECNU-38P is related to ERI topology but exhibits a highly disordered manner and contains both four- and six-coordinated Al atoms. In situ XRD patterns revealed a rarely reported temperature-induced three-dimensional (3D)-to-3D structural transformation from ECNU-38P to the ordered ERI-type ECNU-38 zeolite at 573-623 K. Nanosized ERI-type silicoaluminophosphate Si-ECNU-38 was also obtained by introducing Si atoms into the synthetic system of ECNU-38P. The catalytic performance of ERI-type silicoaluminophosphates in the methanol-to-olefin (MTO) reaction was revealed to be highly related to the crystal sizes.

Abstract
Abstract
Separation of mixture is always necessarily required in modern industry, especially in fine chemical, petrochemical, coal chemical, and pharmaceutical industries. The challenge of separation process is usually associated with small molecules with very similar physical and chemical properties. Among the separation techniques, the commonly used high-pressure cryogenic distillation process with combination of high-pressure and very low temperature is heavily energy-consumed and accounts for the major production costs as well as 10–15% of the world's energy consumption. To this end, the adsorptive separation process based on zeolite sorbents is a promising lower-energy alternative and the performance is directly determined by the zeolite sorbents. In this review, we surveyed the separation mechanisms based on the steric, equilibrium, kinetic, and ‘trapdoor’ effect, and summarized the recent advances in adsorptive separation via zeolites including CO2, light olefins, C8 aromatics, and hydrogen isotopes. Furthermore, we provided the perspectives on the rational design of zeolite sorbents for the absolute separation of mixtures.

Abstract
We demonstrate the assembly of a mononuclear metal center, a hexanuclear cluster, and a V-shaped, trapezoidal tetracarboxylate linker into a microporous metal-organic framework featuring an unprecedented 3-nodal (4,4,8)-c lyu topology. The compound, HIAM-302, represents the first example that incorporates both a primary building unit and a hexanuclear secondary building unit in one structure, which should be attributed to the desymmetrized geometry of the organic linker. HIAM-302 possesses optimal pore dimensions and can separate monobranched and dibranched alkanes through selective molecular sieving, which is of significant value in the petrochemical industry.

Abstract
Development of efficient carbon capture-and-release technologies with minimal energy input is a long-term challenge in mitigating CO2 emissions, especially via CO2 chemisorption driven by engineered chemical bond construction. Herein, taking advantage of the structural diversity of ionic liquids (ILs) in tuning their physical and chemical properties, precise reaction energy regulation of CO2 chemisorption was demonstrated deploying metal-ion-amino-based ionic liquids (MAILs) as absorbents. The coordination ability of different metal sites (Cu, Zn, Co, Ni, and Mg) to amines was harnessed to achieve fine-tuning on stability constants of the metal ion-amine complexes, acting as the corresponding cations in the construction of diverse ILs coupled with CO2 -philic anions. The as-afforded MAILs exhibited efficient and controllable CO2 release behavior with great reduction in energy input and minimal sacrifice on CO2 uptake capacity. This coordination-regulated approach offers new prospects for the development of ILs-based systems and beyond towards energy-efficient carbon capture technologies.

Abstract
The strong affinity of water to zeolite adsorbents has made adsorption of CO2 from humid gas mixtures such as flue gas nearly impossible under equilibrated conditions. Here, in this manuscript, we describe a unique cooperative adsorption mechanism between H2O and Cs+ cations on Cs-RHO zeolite, which actually facilitates the equilibrium adsorption of CO2 under humid conditions. Our data demonstrate that, at a relative humidity of 5%, Cs-RHO adsorbs 3-fold higher amounts of CO2 relative to dry conditions, at a temperature of 30 °C and CO2 pressure of 1 bar. A comparative investigation of univalent cation-exchanged RHO zeolites with H+, Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, and Cs+ shows an increase of equilibrium CO2 adsorption under humid versus dry conditions to be unique to Cs-RHO. In situ powder X-ray diffraction indicates the appearance of a new phase with Im3̅m symmetry after H2O saturation of Cs-RHO. A mixed-cation exchanged NaCs-RHO exhibits similar phase transitions after humid CO2 adsorption; however, we found no evidence of cooperativity between Cs+ and Na+ cations in adsorption, in single-component H2O and CO2 adsorption. We hypothesize based on previous Rietveld refinements of CO2 adsorption in Cs-RHO zeolite that the observed phase change is related to solvation of extra-framework Cs+ cations by H2O. In the case of Cs-RHO, molecular modeling results suggest that hydration of these cations favors their migration from an original D8R position to S8R sites. We posit that this movement enables a trapdoor mechanism by which CO2 can interact with Cs+ at S8R sites to access the α-cage.

Abstract
Zeolites are 3D aluminosilicate materials having subnanometer pore channels. The Lewis basic pores have charge-balancing cations, easily tuned to metallic ions as more chemically active sites. Among the ion-exchanged zeolites, Cu2+ ion-exchanged ZSM-5 (Cu-ZSM-5) is one of the most active zeolites with chemical interactions of Lewis basic compounds. Even though the chemical interactions of hydrocarbons with Cu2+ sites in Cu-ZSM-5 have been tremendously studied in the category of zeolite catalysts, it is not yet thoroughly investigated how such interactions affect the structural lattice of the zeolite. Hydrocarbons with different chemical properties and their relative size can induce lattice strain by different chemical adsorption effects on the Cu2+ sites. In this work, we investigate the internal deformation of the Cu-ZSM-5 crystal using Bragg coherent X-ray diffraction imaging during the adsorption of four hydrocarbons depending on the alkyl chain length, the existence of a double bond in the molecule, linear structure versus benzene ring structure, and so forth. In the three-carbon system (propane and propene), relatively weak chemical adsorption occurred at room temperature and 100 °C, whereas strong adsorption was observed over 150 °C. For the six-carbon system (n-hexane and benzene), strong strains evolved in the crystal by active chemical adsorption from 150 °C. The observations suggest that propene and propane adsorb at the Cu2+ sites from the outer shell to the center with increasing temperature. In comparison, n-hexane and benzene adsorb at both parts at the same temperature. The results provide the internal structural information for the lattice with the chemical interactions of hydrocarbons in the Cu-ZSM-5 zeolite and help to understand zeolite-based chemisorption or catalysis research.

Abstract
CO2 chemisorption via C-O bond formation is an efficient methodology in carbon capture especially using phenolate-based ionic liquids (ILs) as the sorbents to afford carbonate products. However, most of the current IL systems involve alkylphosphonium cations, leading to side reactions via the ylide intermediate pathway. It is important to figure out the CO2 chemisorption behavior of phenolate-derived sorbents using inactive and easily accessible cation counterparts without active protons. Herein, phenolate-based systems were constructed via coordination between alkali metal cations with crown ethers to avoid the participation of active protons in CO2 chemisorption. Reaction pathway study revealed that CO2 uptake could be achieved by O-C bond formation to afford carbonate. CO2 uptake capacity and reaction enthalpy were significantly influenced by the coordination effect, alkali metal types, and alkyl groups on the benzene ring.

Abstract
The development of low-cost, efficient physisorbents is essential for gas adsorption and separation; however, the intrinsic tradeoff between capacity and selectivity, as well as the unavoidable shaping procedures of conventional powder sorbents, greatly limits their practical separation efficiency. Herein, an exceedingly stable iron-containing mordenite zeolite monolith with a pore system of precisely narrowed microchannels was self-assembled using a one-pot template- and binder-free process. Iron-containing mordenite monoliths that could be used directly for industrial application afforded record-high volumetric carbon dioxide uptakes (293 and 219 cubic centimeters of carbon dioxide per cubic centimeter of material at 273 and 298 K, respectively, at 1 bar pressure); excellent size-exclusive molecular sieving of carbon dioxide over argon, nitrogen, and methane; stable recyclability; and good moisture resistance capability. Column breakthrough experiments and process simulation further visualized the high separation efficiency.

Abstract
Three different zeolite nanocrystals (SAPO-34, PS-MFI and ETS-10) were incorporated into the polymer matrix (Matrimid® 5218) as polymer precursors, with the aim of fabricating mixed-matrix carbon molecular sieve membranes (CMSMs). These membranes are investigated for their potential for air separation process. Based on our gas permeation results, incorporating porous materials is feasible to improve O2 permeability, owing to the creation of additional porosities in the resulting mixed-matrix CMSMs. Owing to this, the performance of the CMSM with 30 wt% PS-MFI loading is able to surpass the upper bound limit. This study demonstrates the feasibility of zeolite nanocrystals in improving O2/N2 separation performance in CMSMs.

Abstract
We present a kilogram-scale experiment for assessing the prospects of a novel composite material of metal-organic framework (MOF) and polyacrylates (PA), namely NbOFFIVE-1-Ni@PA, for trace CO2 capture. Through the interfacial enrichment of metal ions and organic ligands as well as heterogeneous crystallization, the sizes of microporous NbOFFIVE-1-Ni crystals are downsized to 200-400 nm and uniformly anchored on the macroporous surface of PA via interfacial coordination, forming a unique dual-framework structure. Specifically, the NbOFFIVE-1-Ni@PA composite with a loading of 45.8 wt % NbOFFIVE-1-Ni yields a superior CO2 uptake (ca. 1.44 mol·kg-1) compared to the pristine NbOFFIVE-1-Ni (ca. 1.30 mol·kg-1) at 400 ppm and 298 K, indicating that the adsorption efficiency of NbOFFIVE-1-Ni has been raised by 2.42 times. Meanwhile, the time cost for realizing a complete adsorption/desorption cycle in a fluidized bed has been shortened to 25 min, and the working capacity (ca. 0.84 mol·kg-1) declines only by 1.3% after 2000 cycles. The device is capable of harvesting 2.1 kg of CO2 per kilogram of composite daily from simulated air with 50% relatively humidity (RH). To the best of our knowledge, the excellent adsorption/desorption performances of NbOFFIVE-1-Ni@PA position it as the most advantageous and practically applicable candidate for trace CO2 capture.

Abstract
Carbon capture from large sources and ambient air is one of the most promising strategies to curb the deleterious effect of greenhouse gases. Among different technologies, CO2 adsorption has drawn widespread attention mostly because of its low energy requirements. Considering that water vapor is a ubiquitous component in air and almost all CO2-rich industrial gas streams, understanding its impact on CO2 adsorption is of critical importance. Owing to the large diversity of adsorbents, water plays many different roles from a severe inhibitor of CO2 adsorption to an excellent promoter. Water may also increase the rate of CO2 capture or have the opposite effect. In the presence of amine-containing adsorbents, water is even necessary for their long-term stability. The current contribution is a comprehensive review of the effects of water whether in the gas feed or as adsorbent moisture on CO2 adsorption. For convenience, we discuss the effect of water vapor on CO2 adsorption over four broadly defined groups of materials separately, namely (i) physical adsorbents, including carbons, zeolites and MOFs, (ii) amine-functionalized adsorbents, and (iii) reactive adsorbents, including metal carbonates and oxides. For each category, the effects of humidity level on CO2 uptake, selectivity, and adsorption kinetics under different operational conditions are discussed. Whenever possible, findings from different sources are compared, paying particular attention to both similarities and inconsistencies. For completeness, the effect of water on membrane CO2 separation is also discussed, albeit briefly.

Abstract
A versatile microporous metal-organic framework (MOF), {[Cu(TIA)]·1.5CH3OH}n (Cu-1), was successfully obtained via the solvothermal reaction of cuprous(II) salt with the bifunctional ligand 3-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)isophthalic acid. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies indicate that Cu-1 contains an apo three-dimensional skeleton and two types of one-dimensional channels. The framework of Cu-1 has excellent acid-alkali resistance and thermal stability, which is stable in a pH = 2-13 aqueous solution and an 260 °C air environment. In addition, the microporous copper MOF shows very high uptakes of CO2 (180 cm3·g-1) and C2H2 (113 cm3·g-1) at 273 K and displays excellent adsorption selectivity for small molecular gases. The ideal adsorbed solution theory selectivity values for C2H2/C2H4, CO2/CH4, and CO2/N2 are 2, 9, and 22 at 298 K, respectively. At the same time, breakthrough experiments for CO2/CH4, CO2/N2, and C2H2/C2H4 were further conducted to verify the efficient separation performances.

Abstract
The atmospheric CO2 concentration continues a rapid increase to its current record high value of 416 ppm for the time being. It calls for advanced CO2 capture technologies. One of the attractive technologies is physical adsorption-based separation, which shows easy regeneration and high cycle stability, and thus reduced energy penalties and cost. The extensive research on this topic is evidenced by the growing body of scientific and technical literature. The progress spans from the innovation of novel porous adsorbents to practical separation practices. Major CO2 capture materials include the most widely used industrially relevant porous carbons, zeolites, activated alumina, mesoporous silica, and the newly emerging metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent-organic framework (COFs). The key intrinsic properties such as pore structure, surface chemistry, preferable adsorption sites, and other structural features that would affect CO2 capture capacity, selectivity, and recyclability are first discussed. The industrial relevant variables such as particle size of adsorbents, the mechanical strength, adsorption heat management, and other technological advances are equally important, even more crucial when scaling up from bench and pilot-scale to demonstration and commercial scale. Therefore, we aim to bring a full picture of the adsorption-based CO2 separation technologies, from adsorbent design, intrinsic property evaluation to performance assessment not only under ideal equilibrium conditions but also in realistic pressure swing adsorption processes.

Abstract
One of the most critical environmental issues of our age is the escalating release of CO2 into the atmosphere. Separation technologies with low energy footprints may be an effective way to capture CO2 and prevent its accumulation. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can meet separation challenges due to their tailored structures and tunable pore surfaces. However, obstacles to their deployment can include the energy consumed by regeneration, a lack of long-term structural stability, and their production on large scales. Herein, we report on MUF-16 ([Co(Haip)2], H2aip = 5-aminoisophthalic acid), a hydrogen-bonded water-stable microporous material that combines high CO2 adsorption with a low affinity for other gases. MUF-16 is built up from inexpensive starting reagents in a scalable process. It can be easily regenerated at room temperature by purging with inert gas, and it maintains its performance over multiple adsorption/desorption cycles. MUF-16 features one-dimensional channels that trap CO2 guest molecules by a raft of attractive electrostatic interactions and size complementarity. It rejects H2 and N2 molecules around room temperature. This was verified by simulated and experimental breakthrough separation measurements on CO2/N2 and CO2/H2 mixtures. MUF-16 can be pelletized by coating with polymeric poly(vinylidene difluoride) (PVDF) to render it compatible with large-scale applications.

Abstract
Nitrogen-doped hierarchical porous carbons with a rich pore structure were prepared via direct carbonization of the poly(ionic liquid) (PIL)/potassium ferricyanide compound. Thereinto, the bisvinylimidazolium-based PIL was a desirable carbon source, and potassium ferricyanide as a multifunctional Fe-based template, could not only serve as the pore-forming agent, including metallic components (Fe and Fe3C), potassium ions (etching carbon framework during carbonization), and gas generated during the pyrolysis process, but also introduce the N atoms to porous carbons, which were in favor of CO2 capture. Moreover, the hierarchically porous carbon NDPC-1-800 (NDPC, nitrogen-doped porous carbon) had taken advantage of the highest specific surface area, exhibiting an excellent CO2 adsorption capacity and selectivity compared with NDC-800 (NDC, nitrogen-doped carbon) directly carbonized from the pure PIL. Furthermore, its hierarchical porous architectures played an important part in the process of CO2 capture, which was described briefly as follows: the synergistic effect of mesopores and micropores could accelerate the CO2 molecules' transportation and storage. Meanwhile, the appropriate microporous size distribution of NDPC-1-800 was conducive to enhancing CO2/N2 selectivity. This study was intended to open up a new pathway for designing N-doped porous carbons combining both PILs and the multifunctional Fe-based template potassium ferricyanide with wonderful gas adsorption and separation performance.

Abstract
Sheet silicates, also known as phyllosilicates, contain parallel sheets of tetrahedral silicate built up by [Si2O5]2- entities connected through intermediate metal-oxygen octahedral layers. The well-known minerals talc and pyrophyllite are belonging to this group based on magnesium and aluminium, respectively. Surprisingly, the ferric analogue rarely occurs in nature and is found in mixtures and conglomerates with other materials only. While partial incorporation of iron into pyrophyllites has been achieved, no synthetic protocol for purely iron-based pyrophyllite has been published yet. Here we report about the first artificial synthesis of ferripyrophyllite under exceptional mild conditions. A similar ultrathin two-dimensional (2D) nanosheet morphology is obtained as in talc or pyrophyllite but with iron(iii) as a central metal. The high surface material exhibits a remarkably high thermostability. It shows some catalytic activity in ammonia synthesis and can serve as catalyst support material for noble metal nanoparticles.

Simultaneous interlayer and intralayer space control in two-dimensional metal-organic frameworks for acetylene/ethylene separation. Nat Commun 2020; 11:6259.

Abstract
Three-dimensional metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) are cutting-edge materials in the adsorptive removal of trace gases due to the availability of abundant pores with specific chemistry. However, the development of ideal adsorbents combining high adsorption capacity with high selectivity and stability remains challenging. Here we demonstrate a strategy to design adsorbents that utilizes the tunability of interlayer and intralayer space of two-dimensional fluorinated MOFs for capturing acetylene from ethylene. Validated by X-ray diffraction and modeling, a systematic variation of linker atom oxidation state enables fine regulation of layer stacking pattern and linker conformation, which affords a strong interlayer trapping of molecules along with cooperative intralayer binding. The resultant robust materials (ZUL-100 and ZUL-200) exhibit benchmark capacity in the pressure range of 0.001–0.05 bar with high selectivity. Their efficiency in acetylene/ethylene separation is confirmed by breakthrough experiments, giving excellent ethylene productivities (121 mmol/g from 1/99 mixture, 99.9999%), even when cycled under moist conditions. Designing efficient adsorbents for trace gas removal remains a serious challenge. Here, the authors show promise in layered 2D metal−organic frameworks, often overlooked in favor of 3D frameworks, for separating trace acetylene from ethylene with enhanced performance and high stability.

Abstract
Zeolites are three-dimensional aluminosilicates having unique properties from the size and connectivity of their sub-nanometer pores, the Si/Al ratio of the anionic framework, and the charge-balancing cations. The inhomogeneous distribution of the cations affects their catalytic performances because it influences the intra-crystalline diffusion rates of the reactants and products. However, the structural deformation regarding inhomogeneous active regions during the catalysis is not yet observed by conventional analytical tools. Here we employ in situ X-ray free electron laser-based time-resolved coherent X-ray diffraction imaging to investigate the internal deformations originating from the inhomogeneous Cu ion distributions in Cu-exchanged ZSM-5 zeolite crystals during the deoxygenation of nitrogen oxides with propene. We show that the interactions between the reactants and the active sites lead to an unusual strain distribution, confirmed by density functional theory simulations. These observations provide insights into the role of structural inhomogeneity in zeolites during catalysis and will assist the future design of zeolites for their applications. Study of structural inhomogeneities in zeolites is important but limited by conventional techniques. Here the authors employ in situ free-electron-laser-based time-resolved coherent X-ray diffraction imaging to visualize the effect of these inhomogeneities during catalytic deoxygenation of NOx.
