Author(s)
Wan Si NMN Tang, Mirjana NMN Dimitrievska, Vitalie Stavila, Wei Zhou, Hui Wu, A. Alec Talin, Terrence J. Udovic
The salt compounds NaB 11H 14, Na-7-CB 10H 13, Li-7-CB 10H 13, Na-7,8-Cd2^B 9H 12, and Na-7,9-C 2B 9H 12 all contain geometrically similar, monocharged, nido-undeca(carba)borate anions (i.e., truncated icosohedral-shaped clusters constructed of only eleven

An Ideal Molecular Sieve for Acetylene Removal from Ethylene with Record Selectivity and Productivity

December 20, 2017

Bin Li, Xili Cui, Dan O'Nolan, Hui-Min Wen, Mengdie Jiang, Rajamani Krishna, Hui Wu, Rui-Biao Lin, Yu-Sheng Chen, Daqiang Yuan, Huabin Xing, Wei Zhou, Qilong Ren, Guodong Qian, Michael J. Zaworotko, Banglin Chen
Realization of ideal molecular sieves, in which the larger gas molecules are completely blocked without sacrificing high adsorption capacities of the preferred smaller gas molecules, can significantly reduce energy costs for gas separation and purification

Latent Porosity in Alkali-Metal M 2 B 12 F 12 Salts: Structures and Rapid Room-Temperature Hydration/Dehydration Cycles

Dmitry V. Peryshkov, Eric V. Bukovsky, Matthew R. Lacroix, Hui Wu, Wei Zhou, W. Matthew Jones, Matic Lozinsek, Travis C. Folsom, D. Luke Heyliger, Terrence J. Udovic, Steven H. Strauss
Structures of the alkali metal hydrates Li 2(H 2O) 4Z, LiK(H 2O) 4, Na 2(H 2O) 3Z, and Rb 2(H 2O) 2Z, unit cell parameters for Rb 2Z and Rb 2(H 2O) 2Z, and the DFT-optimized structures of K 2Z, K 2(H 2O) 2Z, Rb 2Z, Rb 2(H 2O) 2Z, Cs 2Z, and Cs 2(H 2O)Z are

Efficient Separation of Ethylene from Acetylene/Ethylene Mixtures by a Flexible-Robust Metal-Organic Framework

September 24, 2017
Author(s)
Libo Li, Rui-Biao Lin, Rajamani Krishna, Xiaoqing Wang, Bin Li, Hui Wu, Jinping Li, Wei Zhou, Banglin Chen
During the production of polymer-grade ethylene, trace amounts of acetylene (about 1%) in the ethylene feed needs to be reduced to 40 parts per million (ppm). We herein report a metal-organic framework (MOF) of flexible-robust nature for efficient removal

Fine Tuning of MOF-505 Analogues to Reduce Low-Pressure Methane Uptake and Enhance Methane Working Capacity

September 7, 2017
Author(s)
Mingxing Zhang, Wei Zhou, Tony Pham, Katherine A. Forrest, Wenlong Liu, Yabing He, Hui Wu, Taner N. Yildirim, Banglin Chen, Brian Space, Yi Pan, Michael J. Zaworotko, Junfeng Bai
We present a crystal engineering strategy to fine tune the pore chemistry of a family of isomorphous MOFs with similar pore size, pore surface properties and surface area (around 3000 m 2 g -1). Targeting PCN-14 variants in order to enhance its CH 4

Transition and Alkali Metal Complex Ternary Amides for Ammonia Synthesis and Decomposition

July 21, 2017

Hujun Cao, Jianping Guo, Fei Chang, Claudio Pistidda, Wei Zhou, Xilun Zhang, Antonio Santoru, Hui Wu, Norbert Schell, Rainer Niewa, Ping Chen, Thomas Klassen, Martin Dornheim
A new complex ternary amide Rb 2[Mn(NHd2) 4], which simultaneously contains both transition and alkali metal catalytic sites, is developed. This is in line with the recently reported TM-LiH composite catalysts, which has been shown to effectively break the

Ultrahigh and Selective SO 2 Uptake in Inorganic Anion-Pillared Hybrid Porous Materials

July 21, 2017
Author(s)
Xili Cui, Qiwei Yang, Lifeng Yang, Rajamani Krishna, Zhiguo Zhang, Zongbi Bao, Hui Wu, Zongbi Ren, Wei Zhou, Banglin Chen, Huabin Xing
The efficient capture of SO 2 is of great significance in gas purification processes including the flue gas desulfurization (FGD) and natural gas purification, but the design of porous materials with high adsorption capacity and selectivity of SO 2 remains

A Flexible-Robust Metal-Organic Framework for Efficient Removal of Propyne from Propylene

June 15, 2017
Author(s)
Libo Li, Rui-Baio Lin, Rajamani Krishna, Xiaoqing Wang, Bin Li, Hui Wu, Jinping Li, Wei Zhou, Banglin Chen
The removal of trace amount of propyne from propylene is critical for the production of polymer-grade propylene. We herein report the first example of metal-organic frameworks of flexible-robust nature for the efficient propyne/propylene separation. The

Optimized Separating Acetylene from Carbon Dioxide and Ethylene in a Microporous Material
