A new hybrid ultramicroporous material, [Ni(1,4-di(pyridine-2-yl)benzene)(CrO)] (DICRO-4-Ni-i), has been prepared and structurally characterized. Pure gas sorption isotherms and molecular modeling of sorbate-sorbent interactions imply strong selectivity for CH over CO (S). Dynamic gas breakthrough coupled with temperature-programmed desorption experiments were conducted on DICRO-4-Ni-i and two other porous materials reported to exhibit high S, TIFSIX-2-Cu-i and MIL-100(Fe), using a CH/CO/He (10:5:85) gas mixture. Whereas CO/CH coadsorption by MIL-100(Fe) mitigated the purity of trapped CH, negligible coadsorption and high S were observed for DICRO-4-Ni-i and TIFSIX-2-Cu-i.

Polymeric membranes with great processability are attractive for the H/CO separation required for hydrogen production from renewable biomass with carbon capture for utilization and sequestration. However, it remains elusive to engineer polymer architectures to obtain desired sub-3.3 Å ultramicropores to efficiently sieve H from CO.

Gradient porous carbon has become a potential electrode material for energy storage devices, including the aqueous zinc-ion hybrid capacitor (ZIHC). Compared with the sufficient studies on the fabrication of ZIHCs with high electrochemical performance, there is still lack of in-depth understanding of the underlying mechanisms of gradient porous structure for energy storage, especially the synergistic effect of ultramicropores (<1 nm) and micropores (1-2 nm). Here, we report a design principle for the gradient porous carbon structure used for ZIHC based on the data-mining machine learning (ML) method.

Developing porous adsorbents for the complete sieving of propylene/propane mixtures represents an alternative method to energy-intensive cryogenic distillation processes. However, the similar physical properties of these molecules and the inherent trade-off among adsorption capacity, selectivity, diffusion kinetic and host-guest binding interactions in molecular sieving adsorbents makes their separation challenging. Here we report the separation of propylene/propane mixtures through a crystalline porous material (HAF-1) that features channels and shrinkage throats-the latter defined as narrower channels that connect the main channels and a molecular pocket-where the throat aperture is between the kinetic diameters of propylene and propane.

Hybrid ultramicroporous materials (HUMs) comprised of combinations of organic and inorganic linker ligands are a leading class of physisorbents for trace separations involving C1, C2 and C3 gases. First generation HUMs are modular in nature since they can be self-assembled from transition metal cations, ditopic linkers and inorganic "pillars", as exemplified by the prototypal variant, SIFSIX-3-Zn (3 = pyrazine, SIFSIX = SiF ). Conversely, HUMs that utilise chelating ligands such as ethylenediamine derivatives are yet to be explored as sorbents.
