Abstract

The increasing concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) resulting from industrialisation and fossil fuel consumption has intensified global climate change, creating an urgent need for efficient carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies. Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), a class of highly porous crystalline materials composed of metal ions and organic linkers, have emerged as promising candidates for CO₂ capture due to their exceptional surface area, tunable pore structures, and versatile chemical functionalities. This study focuses on the development and evaluation of novel MOFs designed to enhance CO₂ adsorption capacity, selectivity, and stability under practical operating conditions. Various MOF structures were synthesized using environmentally friendly methods and characterized through X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area analysis. Carbon capture performance was assessed using gas adsorption studies under different temperature and pressure conditions. The synthesized MOFs demonstrated high CO₂ uptake capacities, excellent selectivity over nitrogen, and improved regeneration efficiency across multiple adsorption–desorption cycles. Functionalization with amine groups further enhanced CO₂ affinity through strong chemical interactions. The findings indicate that tailored MOF architectures can significantly improve carbon capture efficiency while maintaining structural integrity and recyclability. These results highlight the potential of advanced MOF materials as sustainable and scalable solutions for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and supporting global efforts toward carbon neutrality. Further optimization and pilot-scale investigations are recommended to facilitate industrial implementation of MOF-based CCS systems.
