| Abstract Scope |
Hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) are an interesting family of polymeric porous materials that can be easily self-assembled through H-bonding interaction between organic building units. Owing to the reversible and flexible nature of H-bonding connections, HOF materials often exhibit high crystallinity, solution processability, and tunable porosity. These unique features make HOFs highly versatile and multifunctional. One of the promising applications of HOF materials is gas separation. In this talk, I will present our recent work on using computational modeling and various experimental techniques to study the gas adsorption and separation properties of several newly developed HOF materials. I will discuss the gas adsorption energetics and separation mechanisms in these materials. The insights obtained from our studies provide important guidance for further development of new HOFs for gas separation application. |
