ABSTRACT
The metal-organic framework (MOF) is a relatively new class of crystalline porous materials. The concept provides a potential pathway to sustainable capture of CO2 owing to their unique structural properties: ultra-high surface areas, tuning pores, surface functionality, and stability under a variety of operating conditions. This chapter presents a systematic overview of the role of MOFs in the separation of CO2 from gaseous mixtures. The topics covered range from the significant progress in the design and synthesis of MOFs as adsorbents to their utilization as fillers to enhance the performance of CO2-capturing membranes. The industrial perspective of the use of MOF technologies is also discussed for the process design of separation systems (pre-combustion and post-combustion along with others), and the recent developments of converting atmospheric CO2 to useful chemicals.
