Design of ZIF-8/ion copolymer hierarchically porous material: Coordination effect on the adsorption and diffusion for carbon dioxide
2018
Abstract The novel CO 2 adsorbent (ZPMAC) was constructed by a facile in-situ growth of ZIF-8 onto the surface of a mesoporous amino-functionalized ion copolymer (PMAC). The existence of coordination effect between Zn 2+ from ZIF-8 and nitrogen atom from the amino-alkyl chain in PMAC changed the pore structure of substrate for enhancing the amount of CO 2 capture and accelerated the rate of CO 2 adsorption. The ion copolymer PMAC, pristine ZIF-8 and hierarchically porous hybrid material ZPMAC were characterized by SEM, TEM, TGA, N 2 adsorption-desorption, FT-IR, XRD, UV, and XPS techniques. It was observed that ZIF-8 loaded on the surface of PMAC uniformly and tightly. In the growth process of ZIF-8 nanoparticles, zinc ions were firstly coordinated with nitrogen atoms of the amino-alkyl chain in PMAC sample, and subsequently reacted with 2-methylimizadole to generate ZIF-8 nanoparticles. Obviously, the surface areas of ZPMAC increased and smaller peak value of micropore distribution was generated by the strong coordination interaction between ZIF-8 and PMAC after ZIF-8 modified. Meanwhile, the appearance of hierarchically porous structure was conducive to the transportation and adsorption of CO 2 molecules, thus enhancing the amount of CO 2 capture and the rate of adsorption effectively. This study was intended to design a new kind of hybrid materials by the means of in-situ growth of MOF materials onto the IL-type polymers and further study the influences of the structure and properties of ionic-type hybrid materials on the absorption capacity to meet the requirements of various applications.
