Polyaniline-loaded metal-organic framework MIL-101(Cr): Promising adsorbent for CO2 capture with increased capacity and selectivity by polyaniline introduction

Highly porous metal-organic framework (MOF), MIL-101(Cr), was modified by introduction of polyaniline (PANI) via ship in bottle strategy in order to utilize basic moieties of PANI in capturing CO2 effectively from flue gas. [email protected](Cr), with suitable PANI concentration, showed highly increased adsorption capacity for CO2, especially at low pressure of 0.15 atm, even though the porosity of MIL-101(Cr) was decreased upon PANI loading....
