Project Abstract

Abstract
In recent years, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have garnered significant attention in the field of materials science due to their unique properties and wide range of applications. This research project focuses on the synthesis and characterization of novel MOFs for gas adsorption applications. The aim of this study is to investigate the potential of these MOFs as efficient adsorbents for capturing and storing gases, particularly focusing on carbon dioxide and methane. The research begins with a comprehensive review of the existing literature on MOFs, gas adsorption mechanisms, and the importance of developing efficient adsorbents for environmental and industrial applications. The literature review also highlights the challenges faced in the field and the recent advancements in MOF synthesis and characterization techniques. The methodology section of this research project outlines the step-by-step procedures involved in the synthesis of MOFs using various metal ions and organic ligands. The characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and gas adsorption analysis are employed to study the structural properties and gas adsorption capacities of the synthesized MOFs. The findings from the experimental analysis are discussed in detail in Chapter Four, where the adsorption capacities of the novel MOFs for carbon dioxide and methane are evaluated and compared with existing adsorbents. The results reveal promising adsorption properties of the synthesized MOFs, indicating their potential for gas separation and storage applications. In conclusion, this research project provides valuable insights into the synthesis and characterization of novel MOFs for gas adsorption applications. The study demonstrates the significance of MOFs as efficient adsorbents for environmental and industrial gas separation processes. The findings of this research contribute to the ongoing efforts in developing sustainable and effective solutions for gas storage and capture technologies.
