A Post-Synthetic Strategy to Prepare ACN@Cu-BTCs with Enhanced Water Vapor Stability and CO2/CH4 Separation Selectivity Zhedong Lin1, Zhenqiang Lv1, Xin Zhou1*, Huiyu Xiao1, Junliang Wu3 Zhong Li1,2* 1 School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, South China University of Technology, Guangzhou 510640, PR China 2 State Key Lab of Subtropical Building Science of China, South China University of Technology, Guangzhou 510640, PR China 3 Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Atmospheric Environment and Pollution Control, Guangzhou 510640, PR China * Corresponding authors: [email protected]; [email protected]

Abstract: Cu-BTC, a commercially available MOF with great potential in gas adsorption and separation, is vulnerable to moisture, hindering its practical application. Herein, we propose a post-synthetic strategy to prepare ACN@Cu-BTCs with enhanced water vapor stability and CO2/CH4 selectivity. Successful grafting of ACN was evidenced by FT-IR spectra, which completely inhibited the moisture-induced adsorptive capacity degeneration of ACN1/1@Cu-BTC at RH = 55% for CO2 capture. The water vapor-stability experiments showed that after being exposed to 55% RH for 20 days, Cu-BTC lost its crystallinity and CO2 adsorption capacity, while ACN1/3@Cu-BTC preserved 88% of its original CO2 capacity. In addition, ACN1/3@Cu-BTC showed a high CO2 capacity of 4.32 mmol/g at ambient conditions and inherited the decent CO2/CH4 adsorption selectivity from Cu-BTC. DFT calculation ascribed such an enhanced water vapor stability to the protection of Cu sites by ACN, which is worthy of further exploitation in enhancing the water vapor stability of other MOFs with unsaturated metal sites. 1

Introduction The steeply increasing CO2 concentration in the atmosphere has caused destructive consequences such as polar glaciers melting and global warming, and thus has gathered extensive concern.1, 2 As an indispensable strategic measure, CO2 capture was proposed to restrain the ambient CO2 concentration.3, 4 Hence, the development of viable carbon capture and sequestration technology (CCS) becomes a scientific challenge of high priority. In recent decades, adsorption5, chemical absorption6 and membrane separation7,

8

have been developed for CCS. Among all alternatives,

physisorption-based processes are considered as one of the most energy-saving and cost-effective technologies.9, 10 Adsorbent is the core of the adsorption technology, and is a crucial part in achieving effective adsorption processes. Conventional adsorbents such as zeolite and activated carbon11,

12

have been

widely investigated for CCS. Yet, their adsorption properties require further development to meet the requirements in practical applications. In recent years, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have been widely studied as the promising adsorbents for CCS.13-15 MOFs are attracting vast interest because of their ultrahigh specific area, flexibility, tunable properties, and great potential in diverse applications.16, 17 Furukawa et al.18 synthesized MOF-210 with a CO2 capacity of 54.5 mmol/g at 50 bar and 298 K. The CO2 capacity of MIL-101 reported was up to 22.9 mmol/g at 298 K and 30 bar.19 In addition, some MOFs exhibited excellent 2

adsorption capacity at ambient conditions. The CO2 capacity of MOF-5 was 2.1 mmol/g at 295 K and 1 atm20, while that of Cu-BTC21 and Mg2(DOBDC)22 were reported to be 6.49 mmol/g at 273 K and 8.9 mmol/g at 293 K, respectively. In spite of the superior CO2 capacity of these above-mentioned MOFs, most MOFs are vulnerable to moisture.23-25 Their poor water vapor stability is mainly attributed to the relatively weak metal-ligand coordination26-28, which could not survive H2O attack in moisture. For example, irreversible structural decomposition was reported for MIL-210, MOF-177, MOF-5, MOF-74(Mg) and Cu-BTC after being exposed to humid air, which seriously hinders their practical applications since water vapor is ubiquitous. Thus, it is imperative to improve the water vapor stability of MOFs for their practical applications. Surface modification is considered effective in improving water vapor stability of MOFs. Nan Ding et al.5 divided the open channel of MOF-5 into confined and hydrophobic compartments via in situ polymerization of 1,2-diethynylbenzene (DEB) at 443 K for 12 hours, and reported that the resulting material preserved its BET surface area after being placed in moisture with 40% relative humidity (RH) for 40 hours. Zhang et al.21 coated the surface of a series of vulnerable MOFs including MOF-5, HKUST-1, and ZnBT with a thin hydrophobic PDMS layer by a vapor deposition technique at 408 K, and reported the PDMS-modified MOFs were of significantly enhanced stability against moisture after being contacted with moisture for 1 day. Li et al.29 proposed a solvent-free mechanochemical method for the rapid synthesis of Cu-BTC and graphite oxide composites, and the resulting Cu-BTC@GO exhibited enhanced stability in water for 10 hours. Li et al.30 reported the ultrafast 3



room temperature synthesis of the novel Imi@Cu-BTC, and the resulting Imi@Cu-BTC preserved 78% of its initial capacity after being exposed to humid air for 20 days. A flexible post-synthetic strategy that stabilizes Cu-BTC under humid conditions is highly desired as Cu-BTC has become commercially available. Al-Janabi et al.31 prepared glycine-grafted Cu-BTC via a facile post-synthetic modification (PSM) method. The as-synthesized composite exhibited improved hydrothermal stability, yet its CO2 adsorption capacity dropped to 2.2 mmol/g at 298 K and 1 bar. Hence, it is necessary to develop an effective strategy that improves water vapor stability of MOFs while preserves most of its adsorptive capacity. Herein, we proposed a post-synthetic strategy to functionalize the unsaturated metal site (UMS) of Cu-BTC with acetonitrile (ACN) to improve its water vapor stability. A series of ACN@Cu-BTCs with various ACN contents were prepared. Water vapor stability of ACN@Cu-BTCs was characterized by XRD, H2O (g) and CO2 isotherms before and after samples being exposed to 55% humidity. Regenerability of ACN1/3@Cu-BTC was investigated using five consecutive adsorption-desorption cycles of CO2 on ACN1/3@Cu-BTC. Thermogravimetric analysis of ACN@Cu-BTCs were carried out to evaluate the thermal stability of the modified materials. The mechanism of the enhanced water vapor stability was discussed based on DFT calculation.

2. Experimental 2.1. Materials All chemicals of reagent-grade quality were purchased from commercial resources and used as received without further purification. Cu-BTC was prepared according to a reported procedure.32 Synthesis of ACN@Cu-BTCs: The as-synthesized Cu-BTC was first activated for 6 hours at 423 K, then 0.35 g activated Cu-BTC transferred into a 20 mL screw-cap vial, followed by adding a certain volume (6, 10, 15, 30 µL) of acetonitrile (boiling point: 354-355 K, molecular weight: 41.05). The vial was sealed and heated in oven at 333 K for 1 hour. Then the sample was placed into the vacuum oven at 363 K for 1 hours to evacuate the physically adsorbed acetonitrile. The products were labeled as ACN1/5@Cu-BTC, ACN1/3@Cu-BTC, ACN1/2@Cu-BTC and ACN1/1@Cu-BTC, based on the mole ratio of ACN/Cu. 2.2. Characterization X-ray diffraction (XRD) data were collected on Advance X-ray Diffractometer (Bruker D8) with Cu-Kα emission at room temperature. The scan speed was 2 degree/min and the step size was 0.02º in 2 hours. The morphologies were observed through scanning electron microscope (SEM) on a Hitachi SU8010 instrument. The powder sample was previously dried and sputter-coated with a thin layer of gold before SEM analysis. Infrared (IR) spectra were carried out on Bruker Vector 33 spectrometer with KBr pellets in the wavenumber range of 4000-400 cm-1. N2 5

isotherms were measured at 77 K to determine the pore textural properties using ASAP 2460 Micromeritics Accelerated Surface Area and Porosimetry Analyzer. BET surface area was calculated from N2 isotherms using the built-in software. Water vapor adsorption isotherms were measured with relative humidity ranging from 0 to 90% at 298 K. All samples were dried in vacuum at 363 K for 6 hours before use. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of material was performed on NETZSCH TG 209F3 instrument at a rate of 5 K min-1 up to 873 K in nitrogen atmosphere. The water vapor stability of the samples was examined by exposing the samples to air with 55% RH, where the 55% RH was maintained with saturated magnesium nitrate aqueous solution at 293 K. 2.3. CO2 and CH4 adsorption measurements CO2 and CH4 isotherms of Cu-BTC and ACN1/3@Cu-BTC were measured with a Micromeritics 3-Flex at various temperatures (288, 298 and 308 K) in the pressure range of 0 to 100 kPa. The temperature was strictly controlled using a Dewar with a circulating jacket connected to a thermostatic bath with a precision of ±0.01 K. The free space of the system was determined by dosing He. Before each measurement, the samples were outgassed in vacuum at 363 K for 6 hours. He (99.999%), CO2 (99.99%), N2 (99.99%) were used for the measurements. 2.4.

Figure 1 (a) presents N2 isotherms of Cu-BTC and ACN@Cu-BTCs. All isotherms are of a typical type-I profile, which suggests their predominating microporous structures. Table 1 lists the porosity parameters of the samples. All ACN@Cu-BTCs were of slightly lower specific surface area (m2/g) than that of the as-synthesized

Cu-BTC,

the

order:

ACN1/3@Cu-BTC > ACN1/2@Cu-BTC > ACN1/1@Cu-BTC. However, it is interesting that the specific surface area of the Cu-BTC based on quantity (m2/mmol) was well inherited by the ACN@Cu-BTCs, indicating such a post-synthetic treatment won’t compromise the porosity of the materials. Figure 1 (b) presents XRD patterns of the Cu-BTC and ACN@Cu-BTCs. The characteristic peaks of ACN@Cu-BTCs were consistent with that of the Cu-BTC, except that their relative intensities were somewhat different. Figure S1 compares the SEM images of Cu-BTC and ACN1/3@Cu-BTC, which shows smaller crystals of the ACN1/3@Cu-BTC compared to Cu-BTC. Hence, it seems that the post-synthetic functionalization of Cu-BTC in heated acetonitrile vapor changed the texture of its crystals, and the different relative intensities of the XRD peaks could be ascribed to the changed preferred orientation of the crystals.

Figure 2. (a) IR spectra, (b) TGA (above) and DTG (below) curves of the samples.

Figure 2 (a) shows IR spectra of the Cu-BTC and ACN@Cu-BTCs. The IR spectra of ACN@Cu-BTCs exhibited profiles similar to that of Cu-BTC in the range of 500 – 2000 cm-1. Meanwhile, the peaks at around 2252 cm-1 were assigned to C-N stretching vibration from acetonitrile, indicating the presence of ACN in ACN@Cu-BTCs. Furthermore, the C-N stretching vibrations in ACN@Cu-BTCs blue shifted by about 8 cm-1, which can be attributed to the confined C-N stretching vibrations when ACN being coordinated to the unsaturated Cu site.36 Figure 2 (b) presents the TGA and DTG curves of Cu-BTC and ACN@Cu-BTCs. There were two major weight losses for Cu-BTC, which could be separately assigned to the removal of guest molecules (330-390 K) and the decomposition of organic ligands (580-640 K). In contrast, there was an additional weight loss for ACN@Cu-BTCs in 390-520 K, which was assigned to dissociation of ACN from Cu sites. Figure S2 replots the TGA curves from 390 K, which shows the weight loss follows Cu-BTC < ACN1/5@Cu-BTC < ACN1/3@Cu-BTC < ACN1/2@Cu-BTC < ACN1/1@Cu-BTC, being consistent with the grafting ACN quantity. Hence, ACN@Cu-BTCs were stable in the temperature range up to 390 K, which is sufficient to meet the requirement of conventional pressure swing adsorption processes. 9

Figure 3. PXRD patterns of (a) Cu-BTC and (b) ACN1/3@Cu-BTC before and after being exposed to humid air.

The water vapor stability of these samples was examined by exposing the samples to the air with 55% RH at room temperature. Figure 3 compares PXRD patterns of the samples before and after being exposed to humid air. It was observed that the characteristic peaks of Cu-BTC drastically diminished after the exposure in moisture, and meanwhile, a new peak arose at 10 degree for the remains. In contrast, ACN1/3@Cu-BTC managed to preserve its major characteristic peaks even after 20 days’ exposure, indicating that its water vapor stability had been significantly improved. Although all samples eventually exhibited the small peak at 10 degree after a long exposure of 20 days in moisture, the intensity of this peak decreased with the grafting acetonitrile quantity as is shown in Figure S3. Hence, grafting ACN onto Cu-BTC helps to maintain its crystallinity in moisture.

Figure 4 (a)-(c) show CO2 isotherms of the samples before and after being exposed to humid air. For the as-synthesized samples, ACN@Cu-BTCs inherited the decent CO2 capacity of their parental Cu-BTC with deviations consistent to their BET surface area. Besides, ACN@Cu-BTCs managed to preserve most of their original capacity after being exposed to humid air for 20 days, while Cu-BTC almost lost all its capacity as is shown in Figure 4(d). For example, only 14% CO2 capacity was remained for Cu-BTC after 10 days exposure in humid air, while in contrast ACN1/3@Cu-BTC managed to preserve 96% of its original CO2 capacity. Moreover, for ACN1/1@Cu-BTC where all Cu unsaturated sites were protected by equimolar ACN, the degeneration of its structure under moisture was negligible even after 20 11



days in moisture. Hence, the post-synthetic ACN grafting strategy provides an effective approach to enhance water vapor stability of the commercially available Cu-BTC, which is significant in facilitating their practical application.

Figure 5 illustrates the DFT optimized Cu-BTC derived conformations and their corresponding LUMO. The LUMO locating around unsaturated Cu sites (as shown in Figure 5a) makes it readily accept a lone pair to bond H2O (as shown in Figure 5b), which might lead to a structural destruction via the subsequent hydrolysis or ligand displacement. However, it has been reported that the presence of additional alkane groups from ligand could enhance the stability of MOFs with a steric effect that shields metal cluster of MOFs from H2O attack.37, 38 Besides, our previous work proposed an in-situ strategy that functionalizes unsaturated metal sites of Cu-BTC with imidazole (Imi) during synthesis to yield Imi@Cu-BTC with significantly improved water vapor stability.30 Based on the validated mechanism proposed in these works, herein we constructed a methyl-shielding microenvironment for the unsaturated Cu sites to shield H2O attack by directly grafting a methyl group to the unsaturated Cu sites through the Cu-N bond. When H2O molecule bonds to Cu, the 12

corresponding Cu-O bond length was calculated to be 2.33 Å. However, when ACN is grafted to the Cu (as shown in Figure 5c), the corresponding Cu-N bond length was calculated to be 2.30 Å. Although these bond lengths are close to each other, ACN and H2O construct distinct microenvironments around the Cu sites. Once H2O bonds to the unsaturated Cu site, it tends to bond more H2O to H2O@Cu-BTC through hydrogen bond, and eventually leads to the decomposition of Cu-BTC. In contrast, when ACN is functionalized to Cu-BTC to form ACN@Cu-BTC, it constructed a hydrophobic microenvironment around the Cu sites, which repels H2O and thus inhibits further hydrolysis. Hence, the hydrophobic microenvironment as well as the steric hindrance constructed by ACN well explains the origination of the enhanced water vapor stability of ACN@Cu-BTC. Furthermore, water vapor isotherms were experimentally recorded in Figure S4, showing the decreased water vapor uptake with

Figure 6. (a)The adsorption isotherms and (b) isosteric heats of CO2 and CH4 on Cu-BTC and ACN1/3@Cu-BTC.

Figure S5 shows the CO2/CH4 isotherms at different temperatures. The isosteric heats of CO2 and CH4 adsorption were calculated from these isotherms. Figure 6 plots the CO2 and CH4 adsorption isotherms and isosteric heats to the adsorbate loading on the samples. It can be seen that the isosteric heats of CO2 adsorption on ACN1/3@Cu-BTC were close to that on Cu-BTC, indicating this post-synthetic grafting of ACN might not compromise to the selective removal of CO2 from CO2/CH4 mixtures. Besides, the isosteric heats of CO2 adsorption were higher than that of CH4 adsorption on both samples, while the isosteric heats of CH4 adsorption on the two samples were almost the same.

Ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST) has been widely applied in predicting the adsorption selectivity of binary gas mixtures based on their pure component isotherms40,

41

. In this work, IAST model was applied to predict the CO2/CH4

adsorption selectivity. Figure 7 presents the IAST-predicted CO2/CH4 selectivity of ACN1/3@Cu-BTC and Cu-BTC, indicating that CO2/CH4 adsorption selectivity of ACN1/3@Cu-BTC was close to that of Cu-BTC. 100% Regeneration Efficiency (%)

Figure 8. Five consecutive CO2 adsorption-desorption cycles on ACN1/3@Cu-BTC at 298K.

To estimate the stability and reproducibility after regeneration of ACN@Cu-BTC in consecutive applications, five CO2 adsorption-desorption cycles were performed 15



Page 16 of 37

on ACN1/3@Cu-BTC. The regeneration cycles were performed at 1 bar for adsorption, and 0.05 mbar for desorption at 298 K. Figure 8 shows that the regeneration efficiency of the ACN1/3@Cu-BTC was in the range of 97.3-98.4%, suggesting its excellent stability and reproducibility after regeneration. Table 2 compares its CO2 capacities with other MOFs at 298 K and 1 bar for an intuitional comparison. It is noticed that ACN1/3@Cu-BTC is among the most promising MOFs for CO2 adsorption. Table 2.

4. Conclusion In summary, we have proposed a post-synthetic strategy to functionalize Cu-BTC with ACN. The resulting ACN@Cu-BTCs were of promising water vapor stability against moisture. The 1:1 molar ratio ACN to Cu grafting completely inhibits the water-vapor-induced adsorptive capacity degeneration of ACN1/1@Cu-BTC in 55% RH moisture for CO2 capture. The enhanced stream stability of ACN@Cu-BTCs could be ascribed to the protection of unsaturated metal sites by ACN, which constructed a hydrophobic microenvironment around Cu sites to inhibit hydrolysis or replacement of ligands. Besides, the 1:3 functionalized ACN1/3@Cu-BTC showed an optimized CO2 capacity of 4.32 mmol/g at 1 bar and ambient temperature, which is among the most promising CCS adsorbents. Moreover, the CO2/CH4 selectivity of Cu-BTC was barely compromised by this post-synthetic strategy. Hence, this post-synthetic strategy could provide a simple technique to improve the water vapor stability of the commercially available MOFs with unsaturated metal sites.
