Industrial fossil fuel consumption generates a significant amount of CO<sub>2</sub> emissions. Energy-intensive molecular separations are responsible for a large portion of these emissions and account for 45-55% of the annual US industrial energy use. The development of effective non-thermal separation methods would not only alleviate the damage to our climate through decarbonization via reduced CO<sub>2</sub> emissions, but also reduce monetary costs for these processes. Porous materials can potentially reduce these emissions by achieving non-thermal chemical separations through the physical adsorption of targeted species with high selectivity.
