Abstract

Separation of acetylene(C2H2) from carbon dioxide(CO2) by adsorbents is very challenging owing to their high similarity on molecular shape and dimension. Exploring inexpensive and easily available porous materials is of importance to facilitate the practical implementation of the challenging but energy-efficient separation. Herein, we utilize an easily available porous material [Zn3(HCOO)6] for the selective separation of C2H2 over CO2. Because of the pore confinement in [Zn3(HCOO)6](pore size of 0.47 nm) and accessible oxygen sites for preferential binding of C2H2, this material exhibits high low-pressure uptake for C2H2(63 cm3/cm3 at 10 kPa and 298 K) and high C2H2/CO2 selectivity(7.4 under ambient conditions) that is comparable to those of out-performing porous materials. The efficient separation of [Zn3(HCOO)6] for C2H2/CO2 mixture has also been confirmed by the breakthrough experiments.
