Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for metal-organic materials (MOMs), systems that exhibit permanent porosity and using hydrophobic MOMs to separate components in a gas, methods of separating CO2 from a gas, and the like.
Claims7
A system for capturing CO2 in a gas, comprising:
- a first structure including a metal-organic material (MOM), wherein the MOM includes at least one of an inorganic linker or an inorganic pillar, wherein the gas includes CO2 and water vapor, wherein the MOM has a greater relative affinity for CO2 over a water;
- and
- a second structure for introducing the gas to the first structure, wherein the first structure is configured to remove CO2 from the gas to form a modified gas, wherein the second structure is configured to flow the modified gas away from the first structure so the CO2 is captured in the first structure to the exclusion of the modified gas.
