- Focuses on chemical synthesis, structural and thermoanalytical characterization of amine appended metal-organic frameworks (MOF) for chemisorption based CO2 capture.
- Aiming for materials with improved water-stability, higher CO2 uptake and selectivity.
- Synthesized e.g. hydrothermally from various metal salts (Mg, Zn, Cu, Zr, Al) with NH2-functionalized di- and tricarboxylic acids
- Characterized by e.g. X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetry (thermal stability, CO2 sorption), FTIR
