Abstract

To help reduce industrial CO2 emissions, better materials are required to lower the parasitic energy associated with current carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) technologies. As a result, much emphasis has been placed on the design of new porous materials that can selectively bind and store CO2 and other gases associated with various CCS technologies. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising candidates for initial carbon capture from industrial flue gas streams due to their high porosity, high internal surface areas, facile chemical tenability, and easy regeneration. To better understand the mechanism of gas adsorption in these porous materials, methods for in-situ structural characterization are being carried out and further developed. This transaction outlines CO2 adsorption in a well-known MOF, Co2(dobdc) (dobdc4- = 2,5- dioxido-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate), and its in-situ structural characterization using both single crystal X-ray diffraction and powder neutron diffraction experiments.
