Enhanced Gas Adsorption in HKUST-1@Chitosan Aerogels, Cryogels, and Xerogels : An Evaluation Study
Résumé
This study investigates the use of chitosan hydrogel microspheres as a template for growing an extended network of MOF-type HKUST-1. Different drying methods (supercritical CO2, freeze-drying, and vacuum drying) were used to generate three-dimensional polysaccharide nanofibrils embedding MOF nanoclusters. The resulting HKUST-1@Chitosan beads exhibit uniform and stable loadings of HKUST-1 and were used for the adsorption of CO2, CH4, Xe, and Kr. The maximum adsorption capacity of CO2 was found to be 1.98 mmol·g–1 at 298 K and 1 bar, which is significantly higher than those of most MOF-based composite materials. Based on Henry’s constants, thus-prepared HKUST-1@CS beads also exhibit fair selectivity for CO2 over CH4 and Xe over Kr, making them promising candidates for capture and separation applications.
