Amine-Modified ZIF-8 for Enhanced CO2 Capture: Synthesis, Characterization and Performance Evaluation
Abstract
The urgent need for sustainable and innovative approaches to mitigate the increasing levels of atmospheric CO2 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 CO2 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 CO2 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 CO2 capture capabilities. The findings from this study offer new opportunities for the development of strategies to mitigate CO2 emissions using MOFs.
