abstract
- At present, the development of materials that have great gas adsorption capacities and a good cost-benefit ratio has been of great interest for the generation of new technologies that could solve a large number of environmental and energy production problems, among the most studied materials for this application are metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) due to their surface properties and the great variety of ways in which they can be synthesized. However, a large part of these metal-organic compounds cannot be carried to real applications, due to stability issues or that its adsorption capacity does not justify its manufacturing cost, for which numerous literary reports have proposed improving the performance of MOFs through postsynthetic modifications (PSM). In this review, a compilation of the methods of PSMs in the MOFs that are applicable in the gas adsorption technologies critically analyzing their feasibility to be carried on a large scale and placing special emphasis on their adsorption capabilities, selectivity, reuse, and pore size. © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
