The gas adsorption and separation performance of five metal-organic frameworks (MOFs),namely Ni-MOF-74 modified with four functional groups (—CH3,—OH,—NH2,—O—Li) and unmodified Ni-MOF-74,towards CO2 and N2 were investigated using grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations.The single-component adsorption,mixed-component adsorption,isosteric heat of adsorption,and adsorption selectivity of these materials towards CO2 and N2 molecules were obtained.The adsorption and separation performance of these five materials were compared.The results showed that,in single-component adsorption,the modified MOFs with functional groups exhibited higher isosteric heat of adsorption for CO2 and N2 compared to unmodified Ni-MOF-74,indicating that the introduction of functional groups could effectively enhance the gas adsorption capacity of MOFs.At pressures ranging from 0 to 6 bar,the isosteric heat of adsorption had a greater impact on the adsorption capacity.As the pressure increased,the pore volume effect became a key factor affecting the adsorption performance.Ni-MOF-74 with larger pore volume and surface area showed a significant increase in CO2 adsorption capacity,surpassing the other four functionalized MOFs.In mixed-component adsorption,the modified MOFs exhibited higher CO2 adsorption capacity and selectivity than unmodified Ni-MOF-74.Among them,CH3-Ni-MOF-74 and OH-Ni-MOF-74 showed the best adsorption selectivity for CO2,indicating the important role of these functional groups in improving CO2 adsorption efficiency and selectivity.
