“…Alternately, as a relatively new class of nanoporous materials, metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have broad application prospects in the field of adsorption, energy storage, catalytic reaction, and so on. − As a member of MOFs, zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are a new-type of materials which consist of tetrahedral clusters of MN 4 (M = Co, Cu, Zn, etc.) linked by imidazolate ligands. , The ZIFs have more thermal stability and flexible structure than most of MOFs, and were applied to the adsorption of some small-molecule gases such as methane, ethylene, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and hydrogen. − Previous studies have also shown that the effect of gas capturing can be greatly improved when appending a proper solid powder to the liquid. − A new unit operation–adsorptive absorption was proposed for CO 2 capture in our previous work, and the experimental and modeling results showed that adsorptive absorption is a very promising technology for CO 2 capture. Thus, to speed up the application of this new technology, the IL ([BMIM][BF 4 ]) and ZIFs mixtures were adopted to investigate the CO solubility behavior.…”
