Metal-Organic Materials (MOMS) for Polarizable Gas Adsorption and Methods of Using MOMS

Tech ID: 12B146

Competitive Advantages

  • Synthesized from low cost, commercially available starting materials
  • Exhibit high CO2 capacity and selectivity
  • Lower activation and regeneration temperatures

Summary

Our inventors have utilized pillar substitution in a long-known MOM platform to develop two new variants, TIFSIX-1-Cu and SNIFSIX-1-Cu, which represent the first 3D nets containing TiF62– and SnF62– moieties. These MOMs are synthesized and activated at room temperature from low cost commercially available starting materials and have exceptional CO2/CH4 relative uptake and CO2 uptake. Both variants have improved surface area and show promising gas adsorption capabilities.  These materials may provide a new means for efficient carbon capture.
