Molecular basket sorbents (MBS) consisting of functional polymers immobilized in nanoporous materials have shown great potential as highly selective, high-capacity solid sorbent for CO2 capture and separation based on prior work at Penn State. In this collaborative work, we have explored new nano-porous material TUD-1 as the matrix for immobilizing a functional polymer-polyethyleneimine and examined the CO2 capture using PEI-TUD-1 as MBS. Compared to the well-known nano-porous SBA-15, the MBS based on TUD-1 showed a significantly higher volumetric capacity. The results demonstrate the potential of TUD-1 as a 3D nano-porous material as an effective matrix of functional polymers for CO2 capture.
