Description

Greenhouse gas emissions are one of, if not the major cause of global warming. With CO₂ emissions rising annually, it is paramount to selectively capture and remove CO₂ from flue gas. One method of capturing CO₂ gas is via porous materials. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are porous materials which have been explored throughout this research. Two important features of COFs are the base unit linkage types (BULTs) and the functional groups attached to the organic linkers (OLs). The BULT used in this research was a covalent triazine framework (CTF) and the main functional group used in the OL was NH₃. Both CTF and NH₃ when used in other COFs improved overall selectivities for CO₂. NH₃ in tandem with electron withdrawing groups would theoretically make the N-H bonds more acidic, thus increasing the overall affinity further of the COF. In this research the process in synthesizing the COF is explored in detail as well as the affinity of molecules with CO₂.
