[PMID: 40192268 DOI: 10.1002/chem.202500865] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2025] [Revised: 04/02/2025] [Accepted: 04/02/2025] [Indexed: 04/25/2025]
Abstract
Direct air capture (DAC) is of immense current interest, as a means to facilitate CO2 capture at low concentrations (∼400 ppm) directly from the atmosphere, with the aim of addressing global warming caused by excessive anthropogenic CO2 production. Traditionally, DAC of CO2 has relied on amine scrubbing and metal carbonate /hydroxide solutions. However, recent years have seen notable progress in DAC sorbents, with key advancements aimed at improving efficiency, capacity, and regenerability while reducing energy consumption. This review delivers an exhaustive analysis of contemporary developments in DAC sorbents, addressing the innovations in material design and consequent performance enhancement. The limitations of the sorbents have also been discussed, with future perspectives for improving sustainable CO2 capture strategies. We anticipate that this overview will help lay the groundwork for further development and large-scale implementation of sustainable sorbents and cutting-edge technologies toward attaining carbon neutrality.

Abstract
The removal of SO2 from flue gas remains a challenge. Adsorption-based separation of SO2 using porous materials has been proposed as a more energy-efficient and cost-effective alternative to more traditional methods such as cryogenic distillations. Here we report a flexible hydrogen-bonded organic framework (HOF-NKU-1) that enables the sieving of SO2 through the guest-adaptive response and shape-memory effect of the material. HOF-NKU-1 exhibits a high selectivity of 7,331 for the separation of SO2/CO2 and a high SO2 storage density of 3.27 g cm-3 within the pore space at ambient conditions. The hydrophobic nature of HOF-NKU-1 enables high dynamic SO2 uptake and SO2 recovery, even in conditions of 95% humidity. The SO2/CO2 separation mechanism is studied through combinatorial gas sorption isotherms, breakthrough experiments and single-crystal diffraction studies, paving the way for the development of multifunctional shape-memory porous materials in the future.

JACS AU 2025; 5:1649-1662. [PMID: 40313810 PMCID: PMC12042040 DOI: 10.1021/jacsau.4c01083] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2024] [Revised: 02/11/2025] [Accepted: 02/13/2025] [Indexed: 05/03/2025]
Abstract
Direct air capture (DAC) under humid ambient conditions typically requires the use of organic components, with sorbents that are purely inorganic in composition for the most part operating hundreds of degrees above room temperature. In this work, we report porous metal hydroxides as a novel class of water-tolerant, oxidatively and hydrothermally stable low-temperature sorbents that exhibit competitive DAC working capacities of 1.25 mmol/g over 5 consecutive temperature swing adsorption-desorption cycles in the presence of steam and oxygen. Aqueous miscible organic solvent treatments are used to create highly porous structures with surface areas exceeding 700 m2/g that capture CO2 in the form of bicarbonates under dry conditions, and carbonates under wet conditions. Water exerts a facilitative rather than an inhibiting effect on CO2 binding, and the presence of hydrating multilayers serves to stabilize carbonate species-akin to moisture swing adsorbents-except for the fact that solvation results in a remarkable (upto 10-fold) increase, not decrease, in DAC capacity. High-valent doping with cerium is used to improve DAC capacities by amplifying surface basicity, evidencing porous nickel hydroxides specifically (and porous metal hydroxides more generally) as a novel class of robust, earth-abundant DAC sorbents.

Abstract
The ever-increasing concentration of atmospheric CO2, primarily driven by anthropogenic activities, has raised urgent environmental concerns, spurring the development of carbon capture and utilization (CCU) technologies. This review focuses on the integrated capture and electrochemical conversion of CO2 (ICECC), a promising approach that combines carbon capture with its direct electroreduction into value-added products. By eliminating energy-intensive steps such as CO2 release, compression, and transportation, ICECC offers a more energy-efficient and cost-effective alternative to conventional CCU methods. In this review, particular attention is given to molecular electrocatalysts, which offer high tunability and selectivity in electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (eCO2RR). The role of capturing agents, including both external and dual-functional molecular systems, is critically examined to understand their influence on CO2 binding and catalytic efficiency. Whereas ICECC has significant potential, research in this area remains underexplored compared to conventional CO2 reduction methods. The review discusses the mechanistic insights into ICECC processes, highlighting key challenges and potential future research directions for improving catalyst design, enhancing capture efficiency, and scaling up ICECC technologies. These developments can make ICECC a critical component in achieving carbon neutrality and addressing climate change.

Abstract
Catalytic hydrolysis is a sustainable method for the degradation of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) but is challenged by the high reaction temperatures required to cleave strong C-F bonds. Herein, we developed an innovative C-F activation strategy by constructing synergistic Lewis and Brønsted acid pairs over atomically dispersed Zn-O-Al sites to promote C-F bond activation for decomposition of typical PFCs, CF4. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrate tricoordinated Al (AlIII) sites and Zn-OH functional, respectively, as Lewis and Brønsted acid sites over Zn-O-Al, synergistically enhancing the adsorption and decomposition of CF4. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), pyridine infrared spectroscopy (Py-IR), and ammonia temperature-programmed desorption (NH3-TPD) verified the presence of both AlIII and Zn-OH on the atomically dispersed Zn-O-Al sites. CF4-TPD and in situ infrared spectroscopy confirmed that the Zn-O-Al sites facilitate CF4 adsorption and C-F bond activation. As a result, the Zn-O-Al sites with synergistic Lewis and Brønsted acid pairs achieved 100% CF4 decomposition at a low temperature of 560 °C and demonstrated outstanding stability for more than 250 h.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide capture technologies are set to play a vital role in mitigating the current climate crisis. Solid-state 17O NMR spectroscopy can provide key mechanistic insights that are crucial to effective sorbent development. In this work, we present the fundamental aspects and complexities for the study of hydroxide-based CO2 capture systems by 17O NMR. We perform static density functional theory (DFT) NMR calculations to assign peaks for general hydroxide CO2 capture products, finding that 17O NMR can readily distinguish bicarbonate, carbonate and water species. However, in application to CO2 binding in two test case hydroxide-functionalised metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) - MFU-4l and KHCO3-cyclodextrin-MOF, we find that a dynamic treatment is necessary to obtain agreement between computational and experimental spectra. We therefore introduce a workflow that leverages machine-learning force fields to capture dynamics across multiple chemical exchange regimes, providing a significant improvement on static DFT predictions. In MFU-4l, we parameterise a two-component dynamic motion of the bicarbonate motif involving a rapid carbonyl seesaw motion and intermediate hydroxyl proton hopping. For KHCO3-CD-MOF, we combined experimental and modelling approaches to propose a new mixed carbonate-bicarbonate binding mechanism and thus, we open new avenues for the study and modelling of hydroxide-based CO2 capture materials by 17O NMR.

Abstract
Escalating carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions have intensified the greenhouse effect, posing a significant long-term threat to environmental sustainability. Direct air capture (DAC) has emerged as a promising approach to achieving a net-zero carbon future, which offers several practical advantages, such as independence from specific CO2 emission sources, economic feasibility, flexible deployment, and minimal risk of CO2 leakage. The design and optimization of DAC sorbents are crucial for accelerating industrial adoption. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), with high structural order and tunable pore sizes, present an ideal solution for achieving strong guest-host interactions under trace CO2 conditions. This perspective highlights recent advancements in using MOFs for DAC, examines the molecular-level effects of water vapor on trace CO2 capture, reviews data-driven computational screening methods to develop a molecularly programmable MOF platform for identifying optimal DAC sorbents, and discusses scale-up and cost of MOFs for DAC.

Abstract
The enzyme carbonic anhydrase has been intensely studied over decades as a means to understand the role of zinc in hydrating CO2. The naturally occurring enzyme has also been immobilized on distinct heterogeneous platforms, which results in a different hybrid class of catalysts that are useful for the adsorption and hydration of CO2. However, the reusability and robustness of such natural and immobilized systems are substantially affected when tested under industrial conditions, such as high temperature and high flow rate. This led to the generation of model systems in the form of metal-coordination complexes, metal-organic frameworks, metallo-peptide self-assembled supramolecules and nanomaterials that mimic the primary, and, to some extent, secondary coordination sphere of the active site of the natural carbonic anhydrase enzymes. Furthermore, the effects of zinc-substitution by other relevant transition metals in both the naturally occurring enzymes and model systems has been reported. It has been observed that some other transition metal ions in the active site of carbonic anhydrase and its models can also accomplish similar activity, established by various reaction probes and ideas. Herein, we present a comprehensive highlight about substituting zinc in the active site of the modified enzymes and its biomimetic model systems with non-native metal ions and review how they affect the structural orientation and reactivity towards CO2 hydration. In addition, the utility of artificially engineered carbonic anhydrases towards a number of non-natural reactions is also discussed.

Abstract
Carbon capture can mitigate point-source carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, but hurdles remain that impede the widespread adoption of amine-based technologies. Capturing CO2 at temperatures closer to those of many industrial exhaust streams (>200°C) is of interest, although metal oxide absorbents that operate at these temperatures typically exhibit sluggish CO2 absorption kinetics and instability to cycling. Here, we report a porous metal-organic framework featuring terminal zinc hydride sites that reversibly bind CO2 at temperatures above 200°C-conditions that are unprecedented for intrinsically porous materials. Gas adsorption, structural, spectroscopic, and computational analyses elucidate the rapid, reversible nature of this transformation. Extended cycling and breakthrough analyses reveal that the material is capable of deep carbon capture at low CO2 concentrations and high temperatures relevant to postcombustion capture.

Carbon dioxide capture from open air using covalent organic frameworks. Nature 2024; 635:96-101.

Abstract
Capture of CO2 from the air offers a promising approach to addressing climate change and achieving carbon neutrality goals1,2. However, the development of a durable material with high capacity, fast kinetics and low regeneration temperature for CO2 capture, especially from the intricate and dynamic atmosphere, is still lacking. Here a porous, crystalline covalent organic framework (COF) with olefin linkages has been synthesized, structurally characterized and post-synthetically modified by the covalent attachment of amine initiators for producing polyamines within the pores. This COF (termed COF-999) can capture CO2 from open air. COF-999 has a capacity of 0.96 mmol g-1 under dry conditions and 2.05 mmol g-1 under 50% relative humidity, both from 400 ppm CO2. This COF was tested for more than 100 adsorption-desorption cycles in the open air of Berkeley, California, and found to fully retain its performance. COF-999 is an exceptional material for the capture of CO2 from open air as evidenced by its cycling stability, facile uptake of CO2 (reaches half capacity in 18.8 min) and low regeneration temperature (60 °C).

Abstract
The excessive emission of greenhouse gases, which leads to global warming and alarms the world, has triggered a global campaign for carbon neutrality. Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) technology has aroused wide research interest as a versatile emission mitigation technology. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), as a new class of high-performance adsorbents, hold great potential for CO2 capture from large point sources and ambient air due to their ultra-high specific surface area as well as pore structure. In recent years, MOFs have made great progress in the field of CO2 capture and separation, and have published a number of important results, which have greatly promoted the development of MOF materials for practical carbon capture applications. This review summarizes the most recent advanced research on MOF materials for carbon capture in various application scenarios over the past six years. The strategies for enhancing CO2 selective adsorption and separation of MOFs are described in detail, along with the development of MOF-based composites. Moreover, this review also systematically summarizes the highly concerned issues of MOF materials in practical applications of carbon capture. Finally, future research on CO2 capture by MOF materials is prospected.

Abstract
Photocatalytic overall water splitting holds great promise for solar-to-hydrogen conversion. Maintaining charge separation is a major challenge but is key to unlocking this potential. Here we discovered a metal-organic framework (MOF) that shows suppressed charge recombination. This MOF features electronically insulated Zn2+ nodes and two chemically equivalent, yet crystallographically independent, linkers. These linkers behave as an electron donor-acceptor pair with non-overlapping band edges. Upon photoexcitation, the MOF undergoes a dynamic excited-state structural twist, inducing orbital rearrangements that forbid radiative relaxation and thereby promote a long-lived charge-separated state. As a result, the MOF achieves visible-light photocatalytic overall water splitting, in the presence of co-catalysts, with an apparent quantum efficiency of 3.09 ± 0.32% at 365 nm and shows little activity loss in 100 h of consecutive runs. Furthermore, the dynamic excited-state structural twist is also successfully extended to other photocatalysts. This strategy for suppressing charge recombination will be applicable to diverse photochemical processes beyond overall water splitting.

Abstract
A series of metal-organic frameworks (1-XDI) have been synthesized by imide condensation reactions between an amine-functionalized pentanuclear zinc cluster, Zn4Cl5(bt-NH2)6, (bt-NH2 = 5-aminobenzotriazolate), and organic dianhydrides (pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA), naphthalenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (NDA), 3,3',4,4'-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride (BPDA) and 4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphthalic anhydride (HFIPA)). The properties of the 1-XDI MOFs have been compared with analogues (2-XDI) prepared using traditional coordination assembly. The resulting materials have been characterized by ATR-IR spectroscopy, acid-digested 1H NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and gas adsorption measurements. N2 adsorption isotherm data reveal modest porosities and BET surface areas (30-552 m2 g-1). All of the new 1-XDI and 2-XDI MOFs show selective adsorption of C2H2 over CO2 while 2-PMDI and 2-BPDI exhibit high selectivity toward C3H6/C3H8 separation. This study establishes imide condensation of preformed metal-organic clusters with organic linkers as a viable route for MOF design.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been widely considered as ideal platforms for the preparation of biomimetic catalysts, but it remains challenging to fabricate MOF-based enzyme-like catalysts with optimal activity. Here, we leverage the inherent flexibility of MOFs and propose a novel trans-functionalization strategy to construct a carbonic anhydrase (CA) mimic by the structural transformation from ZIF-L to ZIF-8. Theoretical and experimental results reveal that during the structural transformation, the hydroxyl group will preferentially coordinate with the interlayer Zn clusters to form the CA-like active center Zn-N3-OH. Therefore, more accessible active centers are generated on the as-prepared ZIF-8-OH, resulting in substantially enhanced catalytic activity in the hydrolysis of para-nitrophenyl acetate.

Abstract
Emissions reduction and greenhouse gas removal from the atmosphere are both necessary to achieve net-zero emissions and limit climate change1. There is thus a need for improved sorbents for the capture of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, a process known as direct air capture. In particular, low-cost materials that can be regenerated at low temperatures would overcome the limitations of current technologies. In this work, we introduce a new class of designer sorbent materials known as 'charged-sorbents'. These materials are prepared through a battery-like charging process that accumulates ions in the pores of low-cost activated carbons, with the inserted ions then serving as sites for carbon dioxide adsorption. We use our charging process to accumulate reactive hydroxide ions in the pores of a carbon electrode, and find that the resulting sorbent material can rapidly capture carbon dioxide from ambient air by means of (bi)carbonate formation. Unlike traditional bulk carbonates, charged-sorbent regeneration can be achieved at low temperatures (90-100 °C) and the sorbent's conductive nature permits direct Joule heating regeneration2,3 using renewable electricity. Given their highly tailorable pore environments and low cost, we anticipate that charged-sorbents will find numerous potential applications in chemical separations, catalysis and beyond.

Abstract
Solvothermal reactions of different trinuclear precursors and 5-(pyridin-4-yl)isophthalic acid (H2L) successfully led to four anionic ant topological MOFs as Fe3-xMx(μ3-OH)(CH3COO)2(L)2·(DMA+)·DMF [M = Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), x = 0, 1, 2 and 3], namely, NJTU-Bai79 [NJTU-Bai = Nanjing Tech University Bai's group, Mn3(μ3-OH)], NJTU-Bai80 [Fe2Mn(μ3-OH)], NJTU-Bai81 [Fe3(μ3-OH)], and NJTU-Bai82 [Fe2Co(μ3-OH)], which possess the narrow pores (2.5-6.0 Å). NJTU-Bai80-82 is able to be tuned to the neutral derivatives [NJTU-Bai80-82(-ox), ox = oxidized] with M2+ ions oxidized to M3+ ones in the air and the OH- ions coordinated on M3+ ions. Very interestingly, selective CO2/N2 adsorptions of NJTU-Bai80-82(-ox) are significantly enhanced with the CO2 adsorption uptakes more than about 6 times that of NJTU-Bai79. GCMC simulations further revealed that neutral NJTU-Bai80-82(-ox) supplies more open frameworks around the -CH3 groups at separate spaces to the CO2 gas molecules with relatively more pores available to them after the removal of counterions. For the first time, finely tuning metal ion valences of metal clusters of ionic MOFs and making them from electrostatic to neutral were adopted for greatly improving their CO2 capture properties, and it would provide another promising strategy for the exploration of high-performance CO2 capture materials.

Abstract
Photocatalytic CO2 reduction holds great potential for alleviating global energy and environmental issues, where the electronic structure of the catalytic center plays a crucial role. However, the spin state, a key descriptor of electronic properties, is largely overlooked. Herein, we present a simple strategy to regulate the spin states of catalytic Co centers by changing their coordination environment by exchanging the Co species into a stable Zn-based metal-organic framework (MOF) to afford Co-OAc, Co-Br, and Co-CN for CO2 photoreduction. Experimental and DFT calculation results suggest that the distinct spin states of the Co sites give rise to different charge separation abilities and energy barriers for CO2 adsorption/activation in photocatalysis. Consequently, the optimized Co-OAc with the highest spin-state Co sites presents an excellent photocatalytic CO2 activity of 2325.7 μmol·g-1·h-1 and selectivity of 99.1% to CO, which are among the best in all reported MOF photocatalysts, in the absence of a noble metal and additional photosensitizer. This work underlines the potential of MOFs as an ideal platform for spin-state manipulation toward improved photocatalysis.

Abstract
We have developed two series of amine-functionalized zirconium (Zr) metal-organic framework-808 (MOF-808), which were produced by postsynthetic modifications to have either amino acids coordinated to Zr ions (MOF-808-AAs) or polyamines covalently bound to the chloro-functionalized structure (MOF-808-PAs). These MOF variants were comprehensively characterized by liquid-state 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements and potentiometric acid-base titration to determine the amounts of amines, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy to assess the extent of covalent substitution by polyamines, powder X-ray diffraction analysis to verify the maintenance of the MOF crystallinity and structure after postsynthetic modifications, nitrogen sorption isotherm measurements to confirm retention of the porosity, and water sorption isotherm measurements to find the water uptake in the pores of each member of the series. Evaluation and testing of these compounds in direct air capture (DAC) of CO2 showed improved CO2 capture performance for the functionalized forms, especially under humid conditions: In dry conditions, the l-lysine- and tris(3-aminopropyl)amine-functionalized variants, termed as MOF-808-Lys and MOF-808-TAPA, exhibited the highest CO2 uptakes at 400 ppm, measuring 0.612 and 0.498 mmol g-1, and further capacity enhancement was achieved by introducing 50% relative humidity, resulting in remarkable uptakes of 1.205 and 0.872 mmol g-1 corresponding to 97 and 75% increase compared to the dry uptakes, respectively. The mechanism underlying the enhanced uptake efficiency was revealed by 13C solid-state NMR and temperature-programmed desorption measurements, indicating the formation of bicarbonate species, and therefore a stoichiometry of 1:1 CO2 to each amine site.

Abstract
In situ drug synthesis using the copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction has attracted considerable attention in tumor therapy because of its satisfactory effectiveness and reduced side-effects. However, the exogenous addition of copper catalysts can cause cytotoxicity and has hampered biomedical applications in vivo. Here, we design and synthesize a metal-organic framework (MOF) to mimic copper chaperone, which can selectively modulate copper trafficking for bioorthogonal synthesis with no need of exogenous addition of copper catalysts. Like copper chaperones, the prepared ZIF-8 copper chaperone mimics specifically bind copper ions through the formation of coordination bonds. Moreover, the copper is unloaded under the acidic environment due to the dissipation of the coordination interactions between metal ions and ligands. In this way, the cancer cell-targeted copper chaperone mimics can selectively transport copper ions into cells. Regulation of intracellular copper trafficking may inspire constructing bioorthogonal catalysis system with reduced metal cytotoxicity in live cells.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are considered to be a promising porous material due to their excellent porosity and chemical tailorability. However, due to the relatively weak strength of coordination bonds, the stability (e.g., water stability) of MOFs is usually poor, which severely inhibits their practical applications. To prepare water-stable MOFs, several important strategies such as increasing the bonding strength of building units and introducing hydrophobic units have been proposed, and many MOFs with excellent water stability have been prepared. Carbon dioxide not only causes a range of climate and health problems but also is a by-product of some important chemicals (e.g., natural gas). Due to their excellent adsorption performances, MOFs are considered as a promising adsorbent that can capture carbon dioxide efficiently and energetically, and many water-stable MOFs have been used to capture carbon dioxide in various scenarios, including flue gas decarbonization, direct air capture, and purified crude natural gas. In this review, we first introduce the design and synthesis of water-stable MOFs and then describe their applications in carbon dioxide capture, and finally provide some personal comments on the challenges facing these areas.

Abstract
Natural metalloenzymes with astonishing reaction activity and specificity underpin essential life transformations. Nevertheless, enzymes only operate under mild conditions to keep sophisticated structures active, limiting their potential applications. Artificial metalloenzymes that recapitulate the catalytic activity of enzymes can not only circumvent the enzymatic fragility but also bring versatile functions into practice. Among them, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) featuring diverse and site-isolated metal sites and supramolecular structures have emerged as promising candidates for metalloenzymes to move toward unparalleled properties and behaviour of enzymes. In this review, we systematically summarize the significant advances in MOF-based metalloenzyme mimics with a special emphasis on active pocket engineering at the atomic level, including primary catalytic sites and secondary coordination spheres. Then, the deep understanding of catalytic mechanisms and their advanced applications are discussed. Finally, a perspective on this emerging frontier research is provided to advance bioinspired catalysis.

Abstract
A majority of the primary contributors of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions into the environment have really been out of human-made activities. The levels of CO2 in the atmosphere have increased substantially since the time of the industrial revolution. This has been linked to the use of fossil fuels for energy production, as well as the widespread production of some industrial components like cement and the encroaching destruction of forests. An extreme approach is now necessary to develop the right policies and address the local and global environmental issues in the right way. In this regard, CO2 capturing, utilization, and storage are reliable options that industrial facilities can initiate to overcome this problem. Therefore, we have evaluated the two leading technologies that are used for carbon capture: direct (pre-combustion, post-combustion, and oxy-combustion) and indirect carbon (reforestation, enhanced weathering, bioenergy with carbon capture, and agricultural practices) capturing to provide their current status and progresses. Among the considered processes, the post-combustion techniques are widely utilized on a commercial scale, especially in industrial applications. Technology readiness level (TRL) results have showed that amine solvents, pressure-vacuum swing adsorption, and gas separation membranes have the highest TRL value of 9. In addition, the environmental impact assessment methods have been ranked to evaluate their sustainability levels. The highest global warming potential of 219.53 kgCO2 eq./MWh has been obtained for the post-combustion process. Overall, through this comprehensive review, we have identified some critical research gaps in the open literature in the field of CO2-capturing methods where there are strong needs for future research and technology development studies, for instance, developing stable and cost-effective liquid solvents and improving the adsorption capacity of commercialized sorbents. Furthermore, some research areas, like novel process design, environmental and economic impact assessment of capturing methods with different chemicals and modeling and simulation studies, will require further effort to demonstrate the developed technologies for pilot and commercial-scale applications.

Abstract
Materials capable of selectively adsorbing or releasing water can enable valuable applications ranging from efficient humidity and temperature control to the direct atmospheric capture of potable water. Despite recent progress in employing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as privileged water sorbents, developing a readily accessible, water-stable MOF platform that can be systematically modified for high water uptake at low relative humidity remains a significant challenge. We herein report the development of a tunable MOF that efficiently captures atmospheric water (up to 0.78 g water/g MOF) across a range of uptake humidity (27-45%) employing a readily accessible Zn bibenzotriazolate MOF, CFA-1 ([Zn5(OAc)4(bibta)3], H2bibta = 1H,1H'-5,5'-bibenzo[d][1,2,3]triazole), as a base for subsequent diversification. Controlling the metal identity (zinc, nickel) and coordinating nonstructural anion (acetate, chloride) via postsynthetic exchange modulates the relative humidity of uptake, facilitating the use of a single MOF scaffold for a diverse range of potential water sorption applications. We further present a fundamental theory dictating how continuous variation of the pore environment affects the relative humidity of uptake. Exchange of substituents preserves capacity for water sorption, increases hydrolytic stability (with 5.7% loss in working capacity over 450 water adsorption-desorption cycles for the nickel-chloride-rich framework), and enables continuous modulation for the relative humidity of pore condensation. This combination of stability and tunability within a synthetically accessible framework renders Ni-incorporated M5X4bibta3 promising materials for practical water sorption applications.

Abstract
In nature, nonheme iron enzymes use dioxygen to generate high-spin iron(IV)=O species for a variety of oxygenation reactions. Although synthetic chemists have long sought to mimic this reactivity, the enzyme-like activation of O2 to form high-spin iron(IV) = O species remains an unrealized goal. Here, we report a metal-organic framework featuring iron(II) sites with a local structure similar to that in α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases. The framework reacts with O2 at low temperatures to form high-spin iron(IV) = O species that are characterized using in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform, in situ and variable-field Mössbauer, Fe Kβ x-ray emission, and nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopies. In the presence of O2, the framework is competent for catalytic oxygenation of cyclohexane and the stoichiometric conversion of ethane to ethanol.

Abstract
Excessive CO2 in the air can not only lead to serious climate problems but also cause serious damage to humans in confined spaces. Here, a novel metal-organic framework (FJI-H38) with adaptive ultramicropores and multiple active sites is prepared. It can sieve CO2 from air with the very high adsorption capacity/selectivity but the lowest adsorption enthalpy among the reported physical adsorbents. Such excellent adsorption performances can be retained even at high humidity. Mechanistic studies show that the polar ultramicropore is very suitable for molecular sieving of CO2 from N2 , and the distinguishable adsorption sites for H2 O and CO2 enable them to be co-adsorbed. Notably, the adsorbed-CO2 -driven pore shrinkage can further promote CO2 capture while the adsorbed-H2 O-induced phase transitions in turn inhibit H2 O adsorption. Moreover, FJI-H38 has excellent stability and recyclability and can be synthesized on a large scale, making it a practical trace CO2 adsorbent. This will provide a new strategy for developing practical adsorbents for CO2 capture from the air.

Abstract
Defects in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can significantly change their local microstructures, thus notably leading to an alteration-induced performance in sorption or catalysis. However, achieving de novo defect engineering in MOFs under ambient conditions without the scarification of their crystallinity remains a challenge. Herein, we successfully synthesize defective ZIF-7 through 60Co gamma ray radiation under ambient conditions. The obtained ZIF-7 is defect-rich but also has excellent crystallinity, enhanced BET surface area, and hierarchical pore structure. Moreover, the amount and structure of these defects within ZIF-7 were determined from the two-dimensional (2D) 13C-1H frequency-switched Lee-Goldburg heteronuclear correlation (FSLG-HETCOR) spectra, continuous rotation electron diffraction (cRED), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Interestingly, the defects in ZIF-7 all strongly bind to CO2, leading to a remarkable enhancement of the CO2 sorption capability compared with that synthesized by the solvothermal method.

Abstract
Direct air capture (DAC) of CO2 has emerged as the most promising "negative carbon emission" technologies. Despite being state-of-the-art, sorbents deploying alkali hydroxides/amine solutions or amine-modified materials still suffer from unsolved high energy consumption and stability issues. In this work, composite sorbents are crafted by hybridizing a robust metal-organic framework (Ni-MOF) with superbase-derived ionic liquid (SIL), possessing well maintained crystallinity and chemical structures. The low-pressure (0.4 mbar) volumetric CO2 capture assessment and a fixed-bed breakthrough examination with 400 ppm CO2 gas flow reveal high-performance DAC of CO2 (CO2 uptake capacity of up to 0.58 mmol g-1 at 298 K) and exceptional cycling stability. Operando spectroscopy analysis reveals the rapid (400 ppm) CO2 capture kinetics and energy-efficient/fast CO2 releasing behaviors. The theoretical calculation and small-angle X-ray scattering demonstrate that the confinement effect of the MOF cavity enhances the interaction strength of reactive sites in SIL with CO2 , indicating great efficacy of the hybridization. The achievements in this study showcase the exceptional capabilities of SIL-derived sorbents in carbon capture from ambient air in terms of rapid carbon capture kinetics, facile CO2 releasing, and good cycling performance.

Abstract
We report the CO2 capture properties of an ultramicroporous physisorbent [Ni(WO2F4)(pyrazine)2]n, WO2F4-1-Ni, which crystallizes in I4/mcm (a = 9.91785(6) Å, c = 15.71516(9) Å) and its structure is solved using laboratory X-ray powder diffraction. The WO2F4 anion is acentric with polarizable WO bonds offering unique potential properties within a porous structure. Despite isostructural compounds being previously reported, the effect of this distorted anion on CO2 capture properties has not been studied. In this context, at a 400 ppm partial pressure of CO2 (applicable for direct air capture), this primitive cubic (pcu) network captures 0.934 mmolCO2 gsorbent-1 under dry conditions and 0.685 mmolCO2 gsorbent-1 at 75%RH, the highest capacity for a physisorbent reported to date.

Abstract
Recovering light alkanes from natural gas is a critical but challenging process in petrochemical production. Herein, we propose a postmodification strategy via simultaneous metal/ligand exchange to prepare multivariate metal-organic frameworks with enhanced capacity and selectivity of ethane (C2H6) and propane (C3H8) for their recovery from natural gas with methane (CH4) as the primary component. By utilizing the Kuratowski-type secondary building unit of CFA-1 as a scaffold, namely, {Zn5(OAc)4}6+, the Zn2+ metal ions and OAc- ligands were simultaneously exchanged by other transition metal ions and halogen ligands under mild conditions. Inspiringly, this postmodification treatment can give rise to improved capacity for C2H6 and C3H8 without a noticeable increase in CH4 uptake, and consequently, it resulted in significantly enhanced selectivity toward C2H6/CH4 and C3H8/CH4. In particular, by adjusting the species and amount of the modulator, the optimal sample CFA-1-NiCl2-2.3 demonstrated the maximum capacities of C2H6 (5.00 mmol/g) and C3H8 (8.59 mmol/g), increased by 29 and 32% compared to that of CFA-1. Moreover, this compound exhibited excellent separation performance toward C2H6/CH4 and C3H8/CH4, with high uptake ratios of 6.9 and 11.9 at 298 K and 1 bar, respectively, superior to the performance of a majority of the reported MOFs. Molecular simulations were applied to unravel the improved separation mechanism of CFA-1-NiCl2-2.3 toward C2H6/CH4 and C3H8/CH4. Furthermore, remarkable thermal/chemical robustness, moderate isosteric heat, and fully reproducible breakthrough experiments were confirmed on CFA-1-NiCl2-2.3, indicating its great potential for light alkane recovery from natural gas.

Abstract
Low-concentration CO2 capture is particularly challenging because it requires highly selective adsorbents that can effectively capture CO2 from gas mixtures containing other components such as nitrogen and water vapor. In this study, we have successfully developed a series of controlled alkali-etched MOF-808-X (where X ranges from 0.04 to 0.10), the FT-IR and XPS characterizations revealed the presence of hydroxyl groups (-OH) on the zirconium clusters. Low-concentration CO2 capture experiments demonstrated improved CO2 capture performance of the MOF-808-X series compared to the pristine MOF-808 under dry conditions (400 ppm CO2). Among them, MOF-808-0.07 with abundant Zr-OH sites showed the highest CO2 capture capacity of 0.21 mmol g-1 under dry conditions, which is 70 times higher than that of pristine MOF-808. Additionally, MOF-808-0.07 exhibited fast adsorption kinetics, stable CO2 capture under humid air conditions (with a relative humidity of 30%), and stable regeneration even after 50 cycles of adsorption and desorption. In situ DRIFTS and 13C CP-MAS ssNMR characterizations revealed that the enhanced low-concentration CO2 capture is attributed to the formation of a stable six-membered ring structure through the interaction of intramolecular hydrogen bonds between neighboring Zr-OH sites via a chemisorption mechanism.

Abstract
Coupling post-combustion CO2 capture with electrochemical utilization (CCU) is a quantum leap in renewable energy science since it eliminates the cost and energy involved in the transport and storage of CO2. However, the major challenges involved in industrial scale implementation are selecting an appropriate solvent/electrolyte for CO2 capture, modeling an appropriate infrastructure by coupling an electrolyser with a CO2 point source and a separator to isolate CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) products, and finally selection of an appropriate electrocatalyst. In this review, we highlight the major difficulties with detailed mechanistic interpretation in each step, to find out the underpinning mechanism involved in the integration of electrochemical CCU to achieve higher-value products. In the past decades, most of the studies dealt with individual parts of the integration process, i.e., either selecting a solvent for CO2 capture, designing an electrocatalyst, or choosing an ideal electrolyte. In this context, it is important to note that solvents such as monoethanolamine, bicarbonate, and ionic liquids are often used as electrolytes in CO2 capture media. Therefore, it is essential to fabricate a cost-effective electrolyser that should function as a reversible binder with CO2 and an electron pool capable of recovering the solvent to electrolyte reversibly. For example, reversible ionic liquids, which are non-ionic in their normal forms, but produce ionic forms after CO2 capture, can be further reverted back to their original non-ionic forms after CO2 release with almost 100% efficiency through the chemical or thermal modulations. This review also sheds light on a focused techno-economic evolution for converting the electrochemically integrated CCU process from a pilot-scale project to industrial-scale implementation. In brief, this review article will summarize a state-of-the-art argumentation of challenges and outcomes over the different segments involved in electrochemically integrated CCU to stimulate urgent progress in the field.

Abstract
Direct biocatalytic processes for CO2 capture and transformation in value-added chemicals may be considered a useful tool for reducing the concentration of this greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. Among the other enzymes, carbonic anhydrase (CA) and formate dehydrogenase (FDH) are two key biocatalysts suitable for this challenge, facilitating the uptake of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in complementary ways. Carbonic anhydrases accelerate CO2 uptake by promoting its solubility in water in the form of hydrogen carbonate as the first step in converting the gas into a species widely used in carbon capture storage and its utilization processes (CCSU), particularly in carbonation and mineralization methods. On the other hand, formate dehydrogenases represent the biocatalytic machinery evolved by certain organisms to convert CO2 into enriched, reduced, and easily transportable hydrogen species, such as formic acid, via enzymatic cascade systems that obtain energy from chemical species, electrochemical sources, or light. Formic acid is the basis for fixing C1-carbon species to other, more reduced molecules. In this review, the state-of-the-art of both methods of CO2 uptake is assessed, highlighting the biotechnological approaches that have been developed using both enzymes.

Abstract
Enzymatic catalysis has fueled considerable interest from chemists due to its high efficiency and selectivity. However, the structural complexity and vulnerability hamper the application potentials of enzymes. Driven by the practical demand for chemical conversion, there is a long-sought quest for bioinspired catalysts reproducing and even surpassing the functions of natural enzymes. As nanoporous materials with high surface areas and crystallinity, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) represent an exquisite case of how natural enzymes and their active sites are integrated into porous solids, affording bioinspired heterogeneous catalysts with superior stability and customizable structures. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the advances of bioinspired MOFs for catalysis, discuss the design principle of various MOF-based catalysts, such as MOF-enzyme composites and MOFs embedded with active sites, and explore the utility of these catalysts in different reactions. The advantages of MOFs as enzyme mimetics are also highlighted, including confinement, templating effects, and functionality, in comparison with homogeneous supramolecular catalysts. A perspective is provided to discuss potential solutions addressing current challenges in MOF catalysis.

Abstract
The mechanism of photochemical CO2 reduction to formate by PCN-136, a Zr-based metal-organic framework (MOF) that incorporates light-harvesting nanographene ligands, has been investigated using steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The catalysis was found to proceed via a "photoreactive capture" mechanism, where Zr-based nodes serve to capture CO2 in the form of Zr-bicarbonates, while the nanographene ligands have a dual role of absorbing light and storing one-electron equivalents for catalysis. We also find that the process occurs via a "two-for-one" route, where a single photon initiates a cascade of electron/hydrogen atom transfers from the sacrificial donor to the CO2-bound MOF. The mechanistic findings obtained here illustrate several advantages of MOF-based architectures in molecular photocatalyst engineering and provide insights on ways to achieve high formate selectivity.

Abstract
The ever-increasing atmospheric CO2 level is considered to be the major cause of climate change. Although the move away from fossil fuel-based energy generation to sustainable energy sources would significantly reduce the release of CO2 into the atmosphere, it will most probably take time to be fully implemented on a global scale. On the other hand, capturing CO2 from emission sources or directly from the atmosphere are robust approaches that can reduce the atmospheric CO2 concentration in a relatively short time. Here, we provide a perspective on the recent development of metal-organic framework (MOF)-based solid sorbents that have been investigated for application in CO2 capture from low-concentration (<10 000 ppm) CO2 sources. We summarized the different sorbent engineering approaches adopted by researchers, both from the sorbent development and processing viewpoints. We also discuss the immediate challenges of using MOF-based CO2 sorbents for low-concentration CO2 capture. MOF-based materials, with tuneable pore properties and tailorable surface chemistry, and ease of handling, certainly deserve continued development into low-cost, efficient CO2 sorbents for low-concentration CO2 capture.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide capture is essential to achieve net-zero emissions. A hurdle to the design of improved capture materials is the lack of adequate tools to characterise how CO2 adsorbs. Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a promising probe of CO2 capture, but it remains challenging to distinguish different adsorption products. Here we perform a comprehensive computational investigation of 22 amine-functionalised metal-organic frameworks and discover that 17O NMR is a powerful probe of CO2 capture chemistry that provides excellent differentiation of ammonium carbamate and carbamic acid species. The computational findings are supported by 17O NMR experiments on a series of CO2-loaded frameworks that clearly identify ammonium carbamate chain formation and provide evidence for a mixed carbamic acid - ammonium carbamate adsorption mode. We further find that carbamic acid formation is more prevalent in this materials class than previously believed. Finally, we show that our methods are readily applicable to other adsorbents, and find support for ammonium carbamate formation in amine-grafted silicas. Our work paves the way for investigations of carbon capture chemistry that can enable materials design.

Abstract
Herein, we describe the use of an ultramicroporous metal-organic framework (MOF) with a composition of [Ni3(pzdc)2(ade)2(H2O)1.5]·(H2O)1.3 (pzdc: 3,5-pyrazole dicarboxylic acid; ade: adenine), for the selective capture of carbon dioxide (CO2) from wet flue gas followed by its conversion to value-added products. This MOF is comprised of one-dimensional Ni(II)-pyrazole dicarboxylate-adenine chains; through pi-pi stacking and H-bonding interactions, these one-dimensional chains stack into a three-dimensional supramolecular structure with a one-dimensional pore network. Upon heating, our MOF undergoes a color change from light blue to lavender, indicating a change in the coordination geometry of Ni(II). Variable temperature ultraviolet-visible (UV/vis) spectroscopy data revealed a blue shift of the d-d transitions, suggesting a change in the Ni-coordination geometry from octahedral to a mixture of square planar and square pyramidal. The removal of the water molecules coordinated to Ni(II) leads to the generation of a MOF with open Ni(II) sites. Nitrogen isotherms collected at 77 K and 1 bar revealed that this MOF is microporous with a pore volume of 0.130 cm3 g-1. Carbon dioxide isotherms show a step in the uptake at low pressure, after which the CO2 uptake is saturated. The step in the CO2 uptake is likely attributable to the rearrangement of the three-dimensional supramolecular structure to accommodate CO2 within its pores. The affinity of this MOF for CO2 is 35.5 kJ mol-1 at low loadings, and it increases to 41.9 kJ mol-1 at high loadings. While our MOF is porous to CO2 and water (H2O) at 298 K, it is not porous to N2, and the CO2/N2 selectivity increases from 28.5 to 31.5 as a function of pressure. Breakthrough experiments reveal that this MOF can capture CO2 from dry and wet flue gas with uptake capacities of 1.48 ± 0.01 and 1.14 ± 0.06 mmol g-1, respectively. The MOF can be regenerated and reused at least three times, demonstrating consistent CO2 uptake capacities. Upon understanding the sorption behavior of this MOF, catalysis experiments show that the MOF is catalytically active in the fixation of CO2 into an epoxide ring for the formation of a cyclic carbonate. The turnover frequency for this reaction is 21.95 ± 0.03 h-1. The MOF showed no catalytic deterioration after two cycles and maintained comparable catalytic activity when dry and wet CO2/N2 mixtures were used. This highlights that both N2 and H2O do not dramatically affect the catalytic activity of our MOF toward CO2 fixation.

Abstract
Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) from industrial point sources and direct air capture are necessary to combat global climate change. A particular challenge faced by amine-based sorbents-the current leading technology-is poor stability towards O2 . Here, we demonstrate that CO2 chemisorption in γ-cylodextrin-based metal-organic frameworks (CD-MOFs) occurs via HCO3 - formation at nucleophilic OH- sites within the framework pores, rather than via previously proposed pathways. The new framework KHCO3 CD-MOF possesses rapid and high-capacity CO2 uptake, good thermal, oxidative, and cycling stabilities, and selective CO2 capture under mixed gas conditions. Because of its low cost and performance under realistic conditions, KHCO3 CD-MOF is a promising new platform for CCS. More broadly, our work demonstrates that the encapsulation of reactive OH- sites within a porous framework represents a potentially general strategy for the design of oxidation-resistant adsorbents for CO2 capture.

Abstract
A substituent decorating strategy for modification of the functional cavity is of great importance in the design of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Herein, three new isostructural cationic MOFs, [Cu3(Xpip)2]·NO3·nH2O (Xpip stands for X-substituted phenylimidazophenanthroline, where X = adm (SCNU-2), f (SCNU-3), and none for SCNU-4), have been successfully synthesized and shown gyroidal utc-c topology and large pore sizes which can be adjusted by different substituents (-N(CH3)2, -F, and -H). Interestingly, the differences of the substituents (sizes and proton donor/acceptor) show essential effects on the adsorption abilities of carbon dioxide and dyes, where SCNU-4 exhibits the highest CO2 affinity and the biggest adsorption capacity for anionic dyes Fluorescein Sodium, and SCNU-3 adsorbs the largest amount (1503.6 mg/g) of Acid Fuchsin to date for the reported porous materials. The detailed studies in adsorption kinetics, adsorption isotherms, and theoretical calculation of the binding energies between the structures and dye molecules confirm that the electric properties of the frameworks (cationic) and substituents directed to the pore surface are two important factors dramatically affecting the selective dye adsorption.
