Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of carbon capture technology, specifically to a hydrogen-bonded framework nanotrap material, its preparation method, and its carbon capture applications. Background Technology

[0002] The massive use of fossil fuels has led to a sharp rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations, triggering a series of severe environmental problems, including global warming. Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology, as an effective means of reducing atmospheric CO2 levels, has attracted widespread attention. Among carbon capture technologies, adsorption is considered one of the most promising technologies due to its advantages such as simple operation, low energy consumption, and low equipment investment.

[0003] Currently, there are many types of adsorbents used for carbon capture, including activated carbon, molecular sieves, and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Activated carbon has a large specific surface area and abundant pore structure, but its adsorption selectivity for CO2 is low; although molecular sieves have some adsorption selectivity for CO2, their adsorption capacity is limited and their regeneration energy consumption is high; MOFs have high specific surface area and tunable pore structure, exhibiting good adsorption performance for CO2, but their synthesis cost is high and their stability is poor, limiting their large-scale application.

[0004] Therefore, developing novel adsorbents with high adsorption capacity, high selectivity, good stability, and low cost is a current research hotspot and key challenge in the field of carbon capture. Hydrogen-bonded framework materials (HOFs), as a new type of porous material, form a three-dimensional framework structure through intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions. They have advantages such as simple synthesis methods, strong structural designability, high porosity, and large specific surface area, showing great application potential in the field of gas adsorption and separation. However, most HOF materials currently have large particle sizes, making it difficult to fully utilize their internal pores, thus affecting their CO2 adsorption performance. Preparing HOFs into nanoscale materials and constructing nanomaterials with special trap structures is expected to further improve their CO2 adsorption capacity and selectivity, but related research reports are limited.
