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 CO 2 from a gas, and the like.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A system for capturing CO 2 , comprising: a first structure including a metal-organic material (MOM), wherein the first structure is configured to capture CO 2 from a gas where the CO 2 is at a concentration in the gas of about 5% or less; and a second structure for introducing the gas to the first structure, wherein the first structure is configured to remove CO 2 from the gas to form a modified gas, wherein the second structure is configured to flow the modified gas away from the first structure so the CO 2 is captured in the first structure to the exclusion of the modified gas, wherein the first structure is configured to capture CO 2 in the presence of at least one of: N 2 , H 2 , and CH 4 , so the CO 2 is captured in the first structure to the exclusion of N 2 , H 2 , CH 4 , or a combination thereof. 2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first structure is configured to capture CO 2 in the presence of water vapor so the CO 2 is captured in the first structure to the exclusion of water vapor. 3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the MOM is a hydrophobic MOM. 4. A system for capturing CO 2 , comprising: a first structure including a metal-organic material (MOM), wherein the first structure is configured to capture CO 2 from a gas where the CO 2 is at a concentration in the gas of about 5% or less; and a second structure for introducing the gas to the first structure, wherein the first structure is configured to remove CO 2 from the gas to form a modified gas, wherein the second structure is configured to flow the modified gas away from the first structure so the CO 2 is captured in the first structure to the exclusion of the modified gas, wherein the MOM is [Cu(pyr) 2 (SiF 6 )] n , wherein n is 1 to 100,000,000, and wherein the MOM has a pore size of about 3.35 Å. 5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the first structure is configured to capture CO 2 in the presence of at least one of: N 2 , H 2 , and CH 4 , so the CO 2 is captured in the first structure to the exclusion of N 2 , H 2 , CH 4 , or a combination thereof. 6. The system of claim 4 , wherein the first structure is configured to capture CO 2 in the presence of water vapor so the CO 2 is captured in the first structure to the exclusion of water vapor. 7. A composition, comprising: a MOM comprising [Cu(pyr) 2 (SiF 6 )] n , wherein n is 1 to 100,000,000, and wherein the MOM has a pore size of about 3.35 Å. 8. The composition of claim 7 , wherein the MOM is a hydrophobic MOM.
