Amine-Modified ZIF-8 for Enhanced CO$_2$ Capture: Synthesis, Characterization and Performance Evaluation
Abstract
The urgent need for sustainable and innovative approaches to mitigate the increasing levels of atmospheric CO necessitates the development of efficient methods for its removal. In this study, we focus on the synthesis and functionalization of metal-organic framework (MOF) ZIF-8 at room temperature to enhance its capacity for CO capture. Specifically, we investigated the impact of four amino-compounds, namely tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA), hexadecylamine (HDA), ethanolamine (ELA), and cyclopropylamine (CPA), on the chemical structure, size, surface area and porosity and CO capturing of ZIF-8 powder. By varying concentrations of the amino-compounds, we examined their influence on the ZIF-8 properties. These results highlight the potential of simple synthesis and functionalization techniques for MOFs in enhancing their CO capture capabilities. The findings from this study offer new opportunities for the development of strategies to mitigate CO emissions using MOFs.
