Abstract
Metal-organic framework-808 has been functionalized with 11 amino acids (AA) to produce a series of MOF-808-AA structures. The adsorption of CO2 under flue gas conditions revealed that glycine- and dl-lysine-functionalized MOF-808 (MOF-808-Gly and -dl-Lys) have the highest uptake capacities. Enhanced CO2 capture performance in the presence of water was observed and studied by using single-component sorption isotherms, CO2/H2O binary isotherm, and dynamic breakthrough measurements. The key to the favorable performance was uncovered by deciphering the mechanism of CO2 capture in the pores and attributed to the formation of bicarbonate as evidenced by 13C and 15N solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy studies. On the basis of these results, we examined the performance of MOF-808-Gly in simulated coal flue gas conditions and found that it is possible to capture and release CO2 by vacuum swing adsorption. MOF-808-Gly was cycled at least 80 times with full retention of performance. This study significantly advances our understanding of CO2 chemistry in MOFs by revealing how strongly bound amine moieties to the MOF backbone create the chemistry and environment within the pores, leading to the binding and release of CO2 under mild conditions without application of heat.

Abstract
The binary adsorption of CO2 and water on an amine-functionalized UiO-66 metal-organic framework (MOF) was studied experimentally and computationally. Grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations were used to investigate three additional UiO-66 MOFs with different functionalized linkers. Each MOF was studied in a defect-free form as well as two additional forms with precise linker defects. Binary adsorption isotherms are presented for CO2 at specific water loadings. While water loading in defect-free MOFs reduces the CO2 uptake, the defects slightly boost the CO2 uptake at low water loadings. It was found that water bridges form between the metal oxide cores, replacing the missing linkers. Effectively, this creates smaller pores that are more welcoming of CO2 adsorption. Experimental measurement of the binary isotherms for UiO-66-NH2 shows a behavior that is consistent with this enhancement.
