Abstract
In general, this disclosure describes method of capturing and storing CO2 on a vehicle. The method includes contacting an vehicle exhaust gas with one or more of a first metal organic framework (MOF) composition sufficient to separate CO2 from the exhaust gas, contacting the separated CO2 with one or more of a second MOF composition sufficient to store the CO2 and wherein the one or more first MOF composition comprises one or more SIFSIX-n-M MOF and wherein M is a metal and n is 2 or 3. Embodiments also describe an apparatus or system for capturing and storing CO2 onboard a vehicle.
Claims16
A method of capturing and storing CO2 on a vehicle, comprising:
- contacting an vehicle exhaust gas with a first metal organic framework (MOF) composition, sufficient to separate CO2 from the exhaust gas;
- contacting the separated CO2 with a second MOF composition, sufficient to store the CO2;
- and
- wherein the first MOF composition comprises one or more SIFSIX-n-M MOFs and wherein M is a metal and n is 2 or 3.
An apparatus for capturing and storing CO2 on a vehicle, comprising:
- a filter component including a first MOF composition, in contact with an exhaust stream of a vehicle, wherein the first MOF composition is configured to separate CO2 from the exhaust stream;
- and
- a storage component including a second MOF composition, in fluid communication with the filter component, wherein the second MOF composition is configured to store the separated CO2 ;
- wherein the first MOF composition is selected from SIFSIX-M-3, SIFSIX-M-2-i, and combinations thereof;
- wherein M is a metal.
