A review on production of metal organic frameworks (MOF) for CO2 adsorption

[Display omitted] •The synthesis and applications of MOFs for CO2 adsorption was reviewed.•Comparison among different synthesis routes.•The synthesis routes effects on the CO2 adsorption capacity.•High CO2 adsorption and selectivity found at ambient temperature. The environment sustenance and preservation of global climate are known as the crucial issues of the world today. Currently, the crisis of global warming due to CO2 emission has turned into a paramount concern. To address such a concern, diverse CO2 capture and sequestration techniques (CCS) have been introduced so far. In line with this, Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) have been considered as the newest and most promising material for CO2 adsorption and separation. Due to their outstanding properties, this new class of porous materials a have exhibited a conspicuous potential for gas separation technologies especially for CO2 storage and separation. Thus, the present review paper is aimed to discuss the adsorption properties of CO2 on the MOFs based on the adsorption mechanisms and the design of the MOF structures. In addition, the main challenge associated with using this prominent porous material has been mentioned.
