Abstract

We report a new, simple and versatile method to obtain highly active MOF structures by carefully controlled post-synthesis thermal annealing. The active ZIF-8 structure shows highly enhanced CO2/N2 selectivity and a stable cyclic CO2 uptake of ≥1.5 mmol g−1 at 1 bar and 25 °C with a heat of adsorption of ≥30 kJ mol−1, which is over 100% greater than ≈0.7 mmol g−1 and ≈17 kJ mol−1, respectively of ZIF-8.
