    Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been widely studied for different applications owing to their fascinating properties such as large surface areas, high porosities, tunable pore sizes, and acceptable thermal and chemical stabilities. Ionic liquids (ILs) have been recently incorporated into the pores of MOFs as cavity occupants to change the physicochemical properties and gas affinities of MOFs. Several recent studies have shown that IL/MOF composites show superior performances compared with pristine MOFs in various fields, such as gas storage, adsorption and membrane-based gas separation, catalysis, and ionic conductivity. In this review, we address the recent advances in syntheses of IL/MOF composites and provide a comprehensive overview of their applications. Opportunities and challenges of using IL/MOF composites in many applications are reviewed and the requirements for the utilization of these composite materials in real industrial processes are discussed to define the future directions in this field.

    Gas separation performance of the zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) was improved by incorporating an ionic liquid (IL), 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([BMIM][BF4]). Detailed characterization based on X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirmed that the morphology of ZIF-8 remains intact upon IL incorporation up to 28 wt %. Thermogravimetric analysis indicated the presence of direct interactions between the IL and metal organic framework (MOF). FTIR spectroscopy illustrated that the anion of the IL was shared between the imidazolate framework and [BMIM](+) cation. Adsorption isotherms of CO2, CH4, and N-2 measured for pristine ZIF-8 and IL-loaded ZIF-8 samples, complemented by grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations, showed that these interactions influence the gas uptake performance of ZIF-8. CH4 and N-2 uptakes decreased in the whole pressure range, while CO2 uptake first increased by approximately 9% at 0.1 bar in 20 wt % IL-loaded sample and then decreased as in the case of other gases. As a result of these changes in gas uptakes different extents, the corresponding CO2/CH4, CO2/N-2, and CH4/N-2 selectivities were enhanced especially at the low-pressure regime upon IL incorporation. Results showed that CO2/CH4 selectivity increased from 2.2 to 4; while CO2/N-2 selectivity more than doubled from 6.5 to 13.3, and CH4/N-2 selectivity improved from 3 to 3.4 at 0.1 bar at an IL loading of 28 wt %. The heat of adsorption values (Q(st)) measured and simulated for each gas on each sample indicated that interactions between the IL and ZIF-8 strongly influence the gas adsorption behaviors. The change in Q(st) of CO2 upon IL incorporation was more significant than that of other gases, leading to an almost doubling of CO2 selectivity over CH4 and N-2, specifically at low pressures. On the other hand, the selectivity improvement was lost at high pressures because of a strong decrease in the available pore space due to the presence of IL in ZIF-8. These results suggest that such IL/MOF combinations with tunable structures have huge potential toward high performance gas separation applications.

    [BMIM] [PF6] incorporation doubles CO2 selectivity of ZIF-8: elucidation of interactions and their consequences on performance
    (Amer Chemical Soc, 2016) N/A; N/A; N/A; N/A; N/A; Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering; Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering; Kınık, Fatma Pelin; Altıntaş, Çiğdem; Balcı, Volkan; Koyutürk, Burak; Uzun, Alper; Keskin, Seda; Master Student; Researcher; PhD Student; Master Student; Faculty Member; Faculty Member; Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering; Koç University Tüpraş Energy Center (KUTEM) / Koç Üniversitesi Tüpraş Enerji Merkezi (KÜTEM); Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; College of Engineering; College of Engineering; N/A; N/A; N/A; N/A; 59917; 40548
    Experiments were combined with atomically detailed simulations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations to understand the effect of incorporation of an ionic liquid (IL), 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([BMIM][PF6]), into a metal organic framework (MOF with a zeolitic imidazolate framework), ZIF-8, on the CO2 separation performance. The interactions between [BMIM] [PF6] and ZIF-8 were examined in deep detail, and their consequences on CO2/CH4, CO2/N-2, and CH4/N-2 separation have been elucidated by using experimental measurements complemented by DFT calculations and atomically detailed simulations. Results suggest that IL-MOF interactions strongly affect the gas affinity of materials at low pressure, whereas available pore volume plays a key role for gas adsorption at high pressures. Direct interactions between IL and MOF lead to at least a doubling of CO2/CH4 and CO2/N-2 selectivities of ZIF-8. These results provide opportunities for rational design and development of IL-incorporated MOFs with exceptional selectivity for target gas separation applications.
