A method for making a metal-organic framework, MOF, as nanosheets, includes providing a MXene, wherein the MXene has a general formula of M.sub.n+1X.sub.nT.sub.x, with n=1-3, M represents an early transition metal, X is C and/or N, and Tx is surface terminations; providing a ligand; mixing the MXene and the ligand in a vessel; heating the MXene and the ligand in the vessel; and forming the MX-MOF nanosheets. The MX-MOF nanosheets have a thickness less than 10 nm.

Ammonia is made in a system that includes a conversion reactor for performing a Haber-Bosch process. Effluent streams from the conversion reactor, which include an ammonia component and excess hydrogen and nitrogen reactants, are fed to a membrane separator that includes NaA zeolite membranes disposed on one or more hollow porous supports. The NaA zeolite membranes are highly selective for the ammonia component, allowing the ammonia to be collected from a lumen of the membranes as a product and enriching the excess hydrogen and nitrogen reactants for reuse in the conversion reactor. These systems and the methods of their use are effective to replace and/or modify the energy-intensive condensation/recycling steps in the traditional Haber-Bosch process used to condense NH3 from the exiting stream of the reactor. The selective removal of ammonia by high quality NaA membranes helps to shift the ammonia evolution reaction.

A method for forming an amine-functionalized solid CO.sub.2 sorbent for carbon capture may include providing a support material and applying at least one cycle of molecular layer deposition (MLD) with an amine precursor onto the surface of the support material. An amine layer formed on the support material contains amine groups/amine-containing ligands to adsorb CO.sub.2 onto the support material in a low temperature operating window for adsorption and desorption without the loss of active sites.

Disclosed are air-stable small-molecule adsorbents trimeric [Cu—Br].sub.3 and [Cu—H].sub.3 that undergo a reversible solid-state molecular rearrangements to [Cu—Br.(alkene)].sub.2 and [Cu—H.(alkene)].sub.2 dimers. The reversible solid-state rearrangement allows one to break adsorbent design trade-offs and achieve low heat of adsorption while retaining high selectivity and uptake.

The present invention relates to a method for the separation and purification of glycoforms with an ion exchange separation material with amino-acid based endgroups.

A SO.sub.2 adsorption material, a preparation method therefor and an application thereof, and a method for removing SO.sub.2 from flue gas containing SO.sub.2 are provided. The SO.sub.2 adsorption material contains a carbonized metal organic framework material and a sulfite loaded on the carbonized metal organic framework material, and the carbonized metal organic framework material is a carbonized material obtained by carbonizing a metal organic framework material. On the basis of the total weight of the SO.sub.2 adsorption material, the loading amount of sulfite is not higher than 10 wt %. The SO.sub.2 adsorption material has a relatively high SO.sub.2 adsorption capacity, and may be desorbed and regenerated by heating, and the adsorption capacity still remains at a relatively high level after multiple cycles of adsorption-desorption.

The present invention is directed to a method, device and system to capture carbon dioxide in air using solid amine sorbents and using a radio frequency and/or microwave generator to desorb the carbon dioxide by directly exciting the amine-carbon bond thereby significantly reducing the energy cost of releasing the carbon dioxide.
