Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for metal-organic materials (MOMs), systems that exhibit permanent porosity and using hydrophobic MOMs to separate components in a gas, methods of separating CO2 from a gas, and the like.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A method of capturing CO 2 in a gas, comprising: exposing the gas to a metal-organic material (MOM), wherein the MOM includes at least one of an inorganic linker or an inorganic pillar, wherein the gas includes CO 2 at a concentration in the gas of about 5% or less; and capturing the CO 2 in the MOM. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the gas includes at least one of the following gases: N 2 , H 2 , or CH 4 , wherein the MOM has a greater relative affinity for CO 2 over each one of N 2 , H 2 , and CH 4 . 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the MOM is [Cu(pyr) 2 (SiF 6 )] n wherein n is 1 to 100,000,000. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the MOM has a pore size of about 3.35 Å. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the gas includes N 2 . 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the gas includes H 2 . 7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the gas includes CH 4 . 8. The method of claim 1 , wherein capturing the CO 2 in the MOM is performed in the presence of at least one of N 2 , H 2 , and CH 4 so that the CO 2 is captured by the MOM to the exclusion of N 2 , H 2 , CH 4 , or a combination thereof.
