| Abstract Scope |
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of compounds consisting of metal ions or clusters coordinated to organic ligands in porous structure forms. This work combines MOFs with 3D printing technologies, in which 3D printed plastics serve as a mechanical structural support for MOFs powder. The objective of the thesis is to understand the gas adsorption behavior of MIL-101 (Cr) MOF coated on 3D printed PETG, a glycol modified version of polyethylene terephthalate, through a combined experimental and modeling study. The results show that pure MIL-101 (Cr) MOFs were successfully synthesized. For the PETG substrate, disk-shape plastic samples with a controlled pore morphology were designed and fabricated using the fused deposition modeling (FDM) process. MOFs were coated on the PETG substrates using a layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly approach. The computational model illustrates that the MOFs show increased outputs in adsorption of nitrogen as pressure increases, similar to the trend observed in the adsorption experiment. The model also shows promising results for carbon dioxide uptake at low pressures, and hence the developed MOFs based components would serve as a viable candidate in gas adsorption applications. |
