摘要

Due to the structural similarity between C2H2 and C2H4, the efficient separation remains a challenge for achieving high-purity ethylene in industrial processes. Ultramicroporous metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with one-dimensional channels are promising C2H2 adsorbents due to their multiple binding sites, including electronegative atoms positioned near electro-deficient hydrocarbon regions. Al-based MOFs are evaluated as a good considering scale-up, and structural stability. Here, MIL-120(Al) is introduced as an excellent C2H2 adsorbent not only for C2H4 with an IAST selectivity value of 4.0 but also for high C2H2 uptake (3.41 mmol g−1). MIL-120(Al) is one of the top-ranked high C2H2 storage densities among MOFs.
