In
conclusion, highly efficient SO
2/CO
2 separation has been
achieved by HOF-NKU-1 through GA and SM effect. The storage density of SO
2,
selectivity, and dynamic capture of SO
2 at high humidity conditions
exceeds the reported benchmark materials. In addition, HOF-NKU-1 can be
recycled and reused through simple recrystallization, resulting in significant
material cost savings. Therefore, this work not only provides a new direction
for the gas separation and storage, but also provides a basis for the discovery
of more HOF materials with other functions in the future. Future research can
focus on: (1) validation of the large-scale synthesis, long-term cycling
stability, and economics; (2) developing dynamic in-situ characterization
techniques to reveal the molecular mechanisms of the GA effect; (3) exploring
the versatility of HOFs in the separation of other acidic gases (such as NO
x).
The emergence of such flexible porous materials may provide a new paradigm for
the next generation of green chemical technologies.
