Halogen-modified metal-organic frameworks for efficient separation of alkane from natural gas
As a rich green energy source, natural gas is widely used in many fields such as the chemical industry, automobile energy, and daily life. However, it is very challenging to separate and recover C 2 H 6 and C 3 H 8 from natural gas. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as an emerging type of multi-pore p...
