“…Propene (also known as propylene) is the raw material for polypropylene plastics and other products, and it is the second most abundant organic industrially produced compound, with production rates roughly half of ethene. Currently, global production of ethene and propene is estimated to amount to over 200 Tg year −1 , or about 30 kg person −1 on Earth (Sholl and Lively, 2016). Anthropogenic emissions are only a fraction of that at 5.5 and 2.5 Tg yr −1 for ethene and propene, respectively, and mostly emanate from incomplete fuel combustion (Poisson et al, 2000).…”

“…Formate is a major product of photochemical 6 , biological 7 and electrochemical 8 CO 2 reduction, and its in-situ capture could potentially play a role in integrated liquid-based CO 2 capture and hydrogen storage technologies [9][10] . Hence, the development of low-cost and energy-efficient methods for separating ions such as formate would not only significantly reduce carbon emissions and energy costs but also provide new routes to useful chemicals 11 . However, selective recovery of ions from solution is particularly challenging due to high similarity in shape and charge between ions in solution 12 .…”

“…1,2 Due to their large surface-to-volume ratios they have found applications in areas such as separation science and catalysis. 3,4 The majority of porous materials are extended solids and examples range from amorphous (e.g. porous carbons) to highly crystalline (e.g.…”
