Abstract

Abstract : Thermal conversion of a Li- and Si-containing MOF produces ceramic Li4 SiO4 with a coral-like morphology, which is an advanced CO2 absorbent with high uptake and fast absorption. Abstract : The conversion reaction of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) was adopted as a synthetic method to produce an advanced CO2 absorbent. A Li- and Si-containing MOF is a good precursor for lithium orthosilicate (Li4 SiO4 ); the resulting solid has an unusual coral-like morphology, which provides an enhanced CO2 -sorption performance (high uptake and fast absorption).
