Understanding MOF Gas Entrapment Through Modeling
Abstract
Metal organic frameworks (MOF) were created for the capture of noble gases (NG). They were tested to see which would be the most efficient and selective. MOFs are synthetic materials that are used in a variety of purposes: gas separations, catalysis reactions, drug delivery, and gas storage. In a previous study, there was an extremely long retention time of NG within the Ca-MOF material. Between 30-65 % of the NG was never recovered even under vacuum and at 150 °C. An understanding of this retention at a fundamental level is needed for utilizing the MOF material in industry or other applications
