The effect of pyridine modification of Ni-DOBDC on CO<inf>2</inf> capture under humid conditions

Abstract

The metal-organic framework Ni-DOBDC was modified with pyridine molecules to make the normally hydrophilic internal surface more hydrophobic. Experiments and molecular simulations show that the pyridine modification reduces H 2O adsorption while retaining substantial CO2 capacity under the conditions of interest for carbon capture from flue gas. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2014.
