An unusual ceria dispersion was achieved by using the confined space between template and silica walls in as-prepared mesoporous silica, for the first time. The new adsorbents exhibit high adsorptive desulfurization activity and, more importantly, excellent stability and reusability, which is impossible to realize with conventional adsorbents.

A two-step double-solvent strategy was first used to incorporate Cu(i) sites into MIL-101(Cr), which obviously improves the CO adsorption performance.

Crosslinking and crosslinker length in porous polymers play an important role in porosity and adsorption performance towards CO2.

in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com) N-doped porous carbons (NPCs) are highly promising for CO 2 capture, but their preparation is severely hindered by two factors, namely, the high cost of N-containing polymer precursors and the low yield of carbon products. Here we report for the first time the fabrication of NPCs through the rational choice of the polymer NUT-4, with low cost and high phenyl density, as precursor. For the material NPC-600 obtained from carbonization at 6008C, the yield is as high as 52.1%. The adsorption capacity of CO 2 on NPC-600 reaches 6.9 mmol/g at 273 K and 1 bar, which is obviously higher than that on the benchmarks, including 13X zeolite (4.1 mmol/g) and activated carbon (2.8 mmol/g), as well as most reported carbon materials. Our results also demonstrate that the present NPCs can be completely regenerated under mild conditions. The abundant microporosity and "CO 2 -philic" (N-doped) sites are responsible for the adsorption performance.
