Polarizable Force Fields for CO₂ and CH₄ Adsorption in M-MOF-74.

ABSTRACT: The family of M-MOF-74, with M = Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Ni, Ti, V, and Zn, provides opportunities for numerous energy related gas separation applications. The pore structure of M-MOF-74 exhibits a high internal surface area and an exceptionally large adsorption capacity. The chemical environment of the adsorbate molecule in M-MOF-74 can be tuned by exchanging the metal ion incorporated in the structure. To optimize materials for a given separation process, insights into how the choice of the metal ion affects the interaction strength with adsorbate molecules and how to model these interactions are essential. Here, we quantitatively highlight the importance of polarization by comparing the proposed polarizable force field to orbital interaction energies from DFT calculations. Adsorption isotherms and heats of adsorption are computed for CO₂, CH₄, and their mixtures in M-MOF-74 with all 10 metal ions. The results are compared to experimental data, and to previous simulation results using nonpolarizable force fields derived from quantum mechanics. To the best of our knowledge, the developed polarizable force field is the only one so far trying to cover such a large set of possible metal ions. For the majority of metal ions, our simulations are in good agreement with experiments, demonstrating the effectiveness of our polarizable potential and the transferability of the adopted approach.

Project description:A magnesium-based metal-organic framework (Mg-MOF-74) exhibits excellent CO2 adsorption under ambient conditions. However, the photostability of Mg-MOF-74 for CO2 adsorption is poor. In this study, Mg x Cu1-x -MOF-74 was synthesized by using a facile "one-pot" method. Furthermore, the effects of synthesis conditions on the CO2 adsorption capacity were investigated comprehensively. X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared, scanning electron microscopy, thermo gravimetric analysis, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy, and CO2 static adsorption-desorption techniques were used to characterize the structures, morphology, and physicochemical properties of Mg x Cu1-x -MOF-74. CO2 uptake of Mg x Cu1-x -MOF-74 under visible light illumination was measured by the CO2 static adsorption test combined with the Xe lamp. The results revealed that Mg x Cu1-x -MOF-74 exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity. Furthermore, the CO2 adsorption capacity of Mg x Cu1-x -MOF-74 was excellent at a synthesis temperature and time of 398 K and 24 h in dimethylformamide (DMF)-EtOH-MeOH mixing solvents, respectively. Mg x Cu1-x -MOF-74 retained a crystal structure similar to that of the corresponding monometallic MOF-74, and its CO2 uptake under visible light was superior to that of the corresponding monometallic MOF-74. Particularly, the CO2 uptake of Mg0.4Cu0.6-MOF-74 under Xe lamp illumination for 24 h was the highest, up to 3.52 mmol·g-1, which was 1.18 and 2.09 times higher than that of Mg- and Cu-MOF-74, respectively. The yield of the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO was 49.44 μmol·gcat -1 over Mg0.4Cu0.6-MOF-74 under visible light for 8 h. Mg2+ and Cu2+ functioned as open alkali metal that could adsorb and activate CO2. The synergistic effect between Mg and Cu metal strengthened Mg x Cu1-x -MOF-74 photostability for CO2 adsorption and broadened the scope of its photocatalytic application. The "bimetallic" strategy exhibits considerable potential for use in MOF-based semiconductor composites and provides a feasible method for catalyst design with remarkable CO2 adsorption capacity and photocatalytic activity.

Project description:The novel ZrIV-based perfluorinated metal-organic framework (PF-MOF) [Zr6O4(OH)4(TFS)6] (ZrTFS) was prepared under solvent-free conditions using the commercially available tetrafluorosuccinic acid (H2TFS) as a bridging ditopic linker. Since H2TFS can be seen as the fully aliphatic and perfluorinated C4 analogue of fumaric acid, ZrTFS was found to be isoreticular to zirconium fumarate (MOF-801). The structure of ZrTFS was solved and refined from X-ray powder diffraction data. Despite this analogy, the gas adsorption capacity of ZrTFS is much lower than that of MOF-801; in the former, the presence of bulky fluorine atoms causes a considerable window size reduction. To have PF-MOFs with more accessible porosity, postsynthetic exchange (PSE) reactions on (defective) MOF-801 suspended in H2TFS aqueous solutions were carried out. Despite the different H2TFS concentrations used in the PSE process, the exchanges yielded two mixed-linker materials of similar minimal formulae [Zr6O4(μ3-OH)4(μ1-OH)2.08(H2O)2.08(FUM)4.04(HTFS)1.84] (PF-MOF1) and [Zr6O4(μ3-OH)4(μ1-OH)1.83(H2O)1.83(FUM)4.04(HTFS)2.09] (PF-MOF2) (FUM2- = fumarate), where the perfluorinated linker was found to fully replace the capping acetate in the defective sites of pristine MOF-801. CO2 and N2 adsorption isotherms collected on all samples reveal that both CO2 thermodynamic affinity (isosteric heat of adsorption at zero coverage, Qst) and CO2/N2 adsorption selectivity increase with the amount of incorporated TFS2-, reaching the maximum values of 30 kJ mol-1 and 41 (IAST), respectively, in PF-MOF2. This confirms the beneficial effect coming from the introduction of fluorinated linkers in MOFs on their CO2 adsorption ability. Finally, solid-state density functional theory calculations were carried out to cast light on the structural features and on the thermodynamics of CO2 adsorption in MOF-801 and ZrTFS. Due to the difficulties in modeling a defective MOF, an intermediate structure containing both linkers in the framework was also designed. In this structure, the preferential CO2 adsorption site is the tetrahedral pore in the "UiO-66-like" structure. The extra energy stabilization stems from a hydrogen bond interaction between CO2 and a hydroxyl group on the inorganic cluster.
