Dense Packing of Acetylene in a Stable and Low-Cost Metal-Organic Framework for Efficient C H /CO Separation.

Porous materials for C H /CO separation mostly suffer from high regeneration energy, poor stability, or high cost that largely dampen their industrial implementation. A desired adsorbent should have an optimal balance between excellent separation performance, high stability, and low cost. We herein report a stable, low-cost, and easily scaled-up aluminum MOF (CAU-10-H) for highly efficient C H /CO separation.
