Cryogenic system design for a hydrogen sorption cooler

For several future space applications, long life vibration free collers are needed to cover the temperature range from 60K to about 4K. We describe the development of a novel cryogenic system capable of reaching 18K in coupled resevoirs that provide distributed cooling with small temperature fluctuations.

Carbon Capture Beyond Amines: CO 2 Sorption at Nucleophilic Oxygen Sites in Materials

Carbon capture and utilization or sequestration and direct air capture will be needed to reduce atmospheric levels of greenhouse gases over the next century. Current amine-based technologies bind CO 2 with high selectivities but suffer from poor oxidative and thermal stabilities. Herein, we discuss understudied sorbents based on oxygen nucleophiles, including metal oxides and hydroxides, hydroxide-containing polymers, and hydroxide-based metal–organic frameworks. In general, these materials display improved oxidative stabilities compared to traditional amine-based sorbents. Here, we outline the challenges and opportunities offered by these alternative sorbents for carbon capture applications.

Developing Water–Stable Pore–Partitioned Metal–Organic Frameworks with Multi–Level Symmetry for High–Performance Sorption Applications

Here a new perspective is proposed in the design of pore-space-partitioned MOFs that is focused on ligand symmetry properties sub-divided here into three hierarchical levels: 1) overall ligand, 2) ligand substructure such as backbone or core, and 3) the substituent groups. Different combinations of the above symmetry properties exist. Given the close correlation between nature of chemical moiety and its symmetry, such a unique perspective into ligand symmetry and sub-symmetry in MOF design translates into the influences on MOF properties. Five new MOFs have been prepared that exhibit excellent hydrothermal stability and high-performance adsorption properties with potential applications such as C 3 H 6 /C 2 H 4 and C 2 H 2 /CO 2 selective adsorption. The combination of high stability with high benzene/cyclohexane selectivity of ≈13.7 is also of particular interest.
