減緩人為二氧化碳排放以緩解全球氣候變遷,並推動碳捕集、利用與封存技術,是達成全球碳中和目標的關鍵課題。與此同時,工業上高純度一氧化碳的純化以及丙烯/丙烷等輕質碳氫化合物的分離,高度依賴深冷蒸餾與化學吸收等高能耗工藝。基於物理吸附的變壓吸附技術具備低能耗與低操作成本的潛力,但傳統吸附劑長期面臨「高吸附親和力」與「低再生能耗」之間的內在權衡,且普遍缺乏嚴苛環境下的穩定性。本論文旨在透過精確的結晶孔道環境設計與結構柔性調控,系統性地開發一系列具備低再生能耗、高耐濕性及高選擇性的結晶多孔材料,構建從剛性框架、超分子結晶到柔性動態結構的完整材料工程故事線。
本論文之核心研究內容分為三個漸進式的主題:
剛性金屬有機框架之微觀孔道與官能基工程:在第三章中,針對結構與尺寸高度接近的丙烯/丙烷混合氣,透過在UiO-66框架的配位基中同步整合氟(−F)與羥基(−OH)雙官能基,成功合成新型框架UiO-66-F₂(OH)₂。質子化羥基與丙烯的 π 鍵形成選擇性[π⋯H-O]鍵結,氟原子則精準調控電負性與空間位阻。在298 K 與 1 bar條件下,UiO-66-F₂(OH)₂對等莫耳C3H6/C3H8混合氣展現出 2.51的IAST選擇性,顯著優於單官能基對照組UiO-66-F₄ (1.13)與UiO-66-(OH)₂ (1.08)。材料在pH 1–11水溶液中浸泡7 天仍維持完整晶像;並在連續5次動態穿透循環中穩定分離 C3H6/C3H8,產出純度高達 98.6%以上的高純度丙烷。
多孔分子晶體(PMC)之剛性大環堆積與極性孔道分離:為打破傳統多孔分子晶體在脫去溶劑後結構易塌陷的瓶頸,第四章與第五章採用具備非共價大環堆積的乙酸環四苯偶姻(Cyclotetrabenzoin Acetate, PMC 1)。PMC 1具備7.1 × 7.1 Å的本徵大環通道,向內延伸的極性酯基羰基(C=O)限制出5.0 × 5.0 Å的有效孔徑窗,在298 K與1 bar 下具備68 cm3 g−1(3.04 mmol g−1)的CO2吸附量與極低的初始吸附熱(Qst = 33.7 kJ mol−1)。在第五章中,更進一步應用於極難分離的CO2/CO體系,在298 K與1 bar條件下,PMC 1成功逆向吸附CO2,在連續30 次(> 900 min)PSA循環中穩定產出純度高達 > 99.99% 的工業級高純度CO。
柔性金屬有機框架之動態閘門效應與低能耗再生:為打破吸附容量與低再生能耗的內在矛盾,第六章開發了具備適度柔性與苯醌(Quinone)配位的陰離子型銅三唑框架NCKU-56。NCKU-56具備獨特的動態閘門響應機制,在298 K與1 bar 下具備24.8 cm3 g−1(1.11 mmol g−1)的CO2吸附量。對模擬煙道氣(CO2/N2 =15/85)展現出高達315 的超高IAST選擇性(在 50:50 混合氣下亦有65的高選擇性)。最關鍵的是,其初始吸附熱維持在溫和區間(Qst = 30.1 kJ mol−1),無須高溫脫附,僅需在298 K進行常溫氣流沖洗即可於數分鐘內完成100%脫附再生,在多循環操作下大幅提升單位時間通量,展現出極具工業價值的超低再生能耗優勢。
Mitigating anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to combat global climate change and advancing Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) platforms represent critical imperatives toward achieving global carbon neutrality. Concurrently, industrial purification of high-purity carbon monoxide and the separation of light hydrocarbons, such as propylene/propane (C3H6/C3H8), remain heavily reliant on energy-intensive operations including cryogenic distillation and chemical scrubbing. While physisorption-based pressure swing adsorption (PSA) offers a promising low-energy alternative, conventional solid adsorbents suffer from an intrinsic trade-off between high adsorption affinity and low regeneration energy penalties, alongside limited moisture/chemical stability under operational conditions. This dissertation establishes a systematic structural engineering framework for crystalline porous solids, spanning from rigid frameworks and supramolecular crystals to flexible dynamic architectures, to deliver minimal regeneration energy, remarkable chemical resilience, and high separation selectivity.
The core research achievements are categorized into three interconnected thematic advances:
Dual-Functionality Integration in Rigid MOFs: In Chapter 3, to address the challenging separation of C3H6/C3H8 mixtures with nearly identical physical dimensions, fluorine (−F) and hydroxyl (−OH) dual-functionalities were simultaneously integrated into the BDC linkers of UiO-66, yielding UiO-66-F₂(OH)₂. Acidic protons of the hydroxyl groups form selective [π⋯H-O] complexes with the electron-rich double bonds of propylene, while electronegative fluorine atoms alter the electrostatic landscape to minimize contact with propane. Consequently, UiO-66-F₂(OH)₂ achieves an enhanced IAST selectivity of 2.51 for equimolar C3H6/C3H8 mixtures at 298 K and 1 bar, outperforming its mono-functionalized counterparts, UiO-66-F₄ (1.13) and UiO-66-(OH)₂ (1.08). The framework preserves its crystalline integrity after 7-day immersion in aqueous solutions across pH 1–11. Dynamic column breakthrough tests across 5 consecutive cycles yield purified C3H8 with a purity exceeding 98.6%.
Polar Channel Engineering in Permanent Porous Molecular Crystals (PMCs): To prevent desolvation-induced structural collapse typical of PMCs, Chapters 4 and 5 utilize cyclotetrabenzoin acetate (PMC 1), a solution-processable macrocyclic supramolecular crystal. PMC 1 features an intrinsic macrocyclic channel of 7.1 × 7.1 Å restricted to an effective 5.0 × 5.0 Å aperture by inward-pointing polar ester carbonyls, delivering a CO2 uptake of 68 cm3 g−1 (3.04 mmol g−1) at 298 K and 1 bar alongside a mild isosteric heat of adsorption (Qst = 33.7 kJ mol−1). Chapter 5 further demonstrates the application of PMC 1 in the challenging CO2/CO separation, selectively capturing CO2 to continuously produce polymer-grade CO with an ultra-high purity exceeding 99.99% across 30 PSA cycles (> 900 min) at 298 K and 1 bar.
Dynamic Gate-Opening and Elastic Flexibility in Quinone-Based MOFs: To break the capacity-regeneration energy deadlock, Chapter 6 introduces NCKU-56, an anionic copper–triazolate framework constructed with quinone linkers and framework flexibility. NCKU-56 exhibits a structural gating behavior, recording a CO2 uptake of 24.8 cm3 g−1 (1.11 mmol g −1) at 298 K and 1 bar. Notably, it exhibits an outstanding IAST CO2/N2 (15:85) selectivity of 315 (and 65 for 50/50 mixture). Crucially, its adsorption heat remains within a mild regime (Qst = 30.1 kJ mol−1), enabling complete desolvation at 298 K within minutes under ambient purge without thermal activation, thereby offering significant throughput and energy-efficiency advantages in multi-cycle post-combustion carbon capture.
In summary, this dissertation quantitatively validates the integration of dual-functionalized rigid pore tuning, supramolecular polar channel confinement, and dynamic gate-opening responsiveness. By overcoming the trade-off between adsorption selectivity and regeneration energy penalties, this work establishes a comprehensive design paradigm for energy-efficient and chemically resilient porous adsorbents for industrial gas purification and carbon capture.
