Modeling CO2 Adsorption in Zeolites Using DFT-Derived Charges: Comparing System-Specific and Generic Models

Abstract: For most guest molecules, electrostatic interactions have a non-negligible impact on the adsorption properties of microporous materials, such as zeolites or metal–organic frameworks. In force-field-based simulations of adsorption, partial charges located at atomic sites are most commonly used to account for electrostatics. These charges are either derived empirically or obtained from electronic structure calculations. In previous work addressing the adsorption of CO2 in all-silica zeolites, we have used a firs… Show more

“…Interestingly, the strongest CO 2 binding occurs on the theoretical Si‐P1 structure. Our value for the CO 2 binding energy at 0 K of −0.48 eV (Table S3, Supporting Information) agrees rather well with the value of −0.35 eV reported by Fischer and Bell, which was obtained from comparable DFT methods . Assuming that the selectivity for CO 2 /N 2 adsorption can be approximated by the ratio of the corresponding adsorption equilibrium constants, Keq=e-ΔG/RT , then our results for Si‐P1 yield a ratio of approximately 10, which is again in reasonable agreement with the previous work.…”

“…In addition, the Na + ion in Na‐P1 carries a positive charge of +0.86| e |. According to Fischer and Bell, their results showed a strong sensitivity to the quality of partial charge assignment, which offers an explanation as to why the predicted CO 2 uptake cannot be realized in Al‐containing GIS frameworks with stronger polar character.…”

“…Recent years have also seen efforts to improve the accuracy of force fields used in the Monte Carlo simulations. 248 The direct comparison between GCMC simulations using the two sets of charges showed qualitative agreement in terms of comparing the isotherms and related data for different zeolites, but, quantitatively, there were discrepancies of between 10 and 30% in calculated datasets, with the generic charge model tending to underestimate the strength of CO 2 adsorption. Inevitably the simplicity of the model is a compromise with the speed and capacity of the modeling technique.…”

“…While more sophisticated methods to include dispersion corrections in DFT give more accurate results in some cases [34,38], this method (also termed DFT-D for simplicity) was chosen as a reasonable compromise between accuracy and computational cost. The same method has been applied successfully in previous studies of light gases adsorbed in zeolites and related materials, both by our group and by others [40,[55][56][57][58][59]. Spin-polarised calculations were performed for Fe-SAPO-34.…”
