Zeng Wanyi, Huang Minzhong, Chen Bin, et al. Engineering metal-organic framework architectures for enhanced carbon dioxide capture[J]. Chinese Journal of Chemical Engineering, 2026, 94(6): 331-356.
The escalating concentration of atmospheric CO
2
is a major driver of global climate change
necessitating efficient capture technologies. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising adsorbents due to their structural tunability
high surface areas
and porosity. However
their industrial deployment remains constrained by moderate adsorption capacities
limited stability under realistic conditions
selectivity challenges
and high production costs. This review systematically examines rational design strategies for enhancing MOF performance in CO
2
capture
integrating recent advances in material synthesis
characterization
and computational modeling. We discuss the role of theoretical approaches
including density functional theory
molecular simulations
and machine learning
in predicting adsorption behavior and guiding experimental efforts. Key optimization techniques explored encompass pore engineering
surface functionalization
metal site regulation
defect control
and composite formation. Furthermore
we evaluate selective adsorption mechanisms in complex gas mixtures and assess commercialization pathways
highlighting the importance of economic viability and sustainable synthesis methods. Finally
we outline future research directions aimed at improving cyclic stability
scalability
and industrial applicability
providing a cross-scale perspective on translating laboratory innovat
ions into practical CO
2
capture applications.
