Enhanced CO2 Adsorption Capacity and Hydrothermal Stability of HKUST-1 via Introduction of Siliceous Mesocellular Foams (MCFs)

New hierarchical composites containing micropores and mesopores were synthesized by assembling HKUST-1 (Cu3(BTC)2) on siliceous mesocellular foams (MCFs). The structure, morphology, and textural properties of as-prepared composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and N2 sorption isotherms, respectively. The results suggest that the coexistence of mesoporous silicas promotes the formation of nanosized MOFs, and the mesostructures of silicas are not destroyed by MOFs. Moreover, the micropore/mesopore volume ratio can be controlled by varying the amounts of MOFs. The CO2 adsorption capacities were calculated by breakthrough curves, which were tested in a fixed bed. The CO2 adsorption capacity of the composites reaches 1.40 mmol/g, which is higher than that of bulk HKUST-1. The structure and CO2 adsorption capacity of the composites after the hydrothermal treatment also have been evaluated. The results show that composite-2 has a larger CO2 ad...
