Definitions
- H 2 O sorbents and H 2 O sorption methods of the present disclosure address these needs.
- the present disclosure pertains to methods of sorption of H 2 O from an environment by associating the environment with a porous material such that the association results in the sorption of H 2 O to the porous material. Additional embodiments of the present disclosure pertain to the porous materials.
- the porous material includes a (M)-2,4-pyridinedicarboxylic acid coordination polymer, where M is a divalent metal ion selected from the group consisting of Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Mg, and combinations thereof
- the coordination polymer has a one-dimensional pore structure and shows reversible soft-crystal behavior.
- the porous material is a Mg(II) 2,4-pyridinedicarboxylic acid coordination polymer (also known as Mg-CUK-1).
- the porous material is a Mn(II) 2,4-pyridinedicarboxylic acid coordination polymer (also known as Mn-CUK-1).
- the methods of the present disclosure also include a step of releasing the sorbed H 2 O from the porous material.
- the releasing occurs by decreasing the pressure or temperature of the environment.
- the releasing occurs by placing the porous material in a second environment that has a different pressure or temperature than the environment where H 2 O sorption occurred.
- the methods of the present disclosure also include a step of reusing the porous material after the releasing step for sorption of additional H 2 O from the environment.
- the porous materials may be utilized multiple times (e.g., over 100 times) without substantially affecting their H 2 O sorption capacities.
- FIG. 1 provides a scheme of a method of sorption of water (H 2 O) from an environment.
- FIG. 2 provides an image of a Mg(II)-2,4-pyridinedicarboxylic acid coordination polymer (Mg-CUK-1) with adsorbed H 2 O molecules.
- Mg-CUK-1 Mg(II)-2,4-pyridinedicarboxylic acid coordination polymer
- the image is viewed down the crystallographic a-axis.
- the solvent O-atoms are drawn in yellow for clarity.
- FIG. 3 shows water adsorption-desorption isotherms of Co-CUK-1.
- FIG. 4 is a moisture detachment capacity that compares the low temperature regeneration capacities of Co-CUK-1 to several existing adsorbents, including NaX, silica gel, and silico aluminophosphate (SAPO-34).
- SAPO-34 silico aluminophosphate
- FIG. 5 shows water adsorption-desorption isotherms analyzing the hydrothermal stability of Co-CUK-1.
- FIG. 6 shows water adsorption-desorption isotherms of Ni-CUK-1.
- FIG. 7 shows water adsorption-desorption isotherms of Mg-CUK-1.
- FIG. 8 shows the thermogravimetric analysis profile for 50 cycles of water adsorption-desorption of Co-CUK-1.
- FIG. 9 shows the thermogravimetric analysis profile for 10 cycles of water adsorption-desorption of Ni-CUK-1.
- FIG. 10 shows the thermogravimetric analysis profile for 10 cycles of water adsorption-desorption of Mg-CUK-1.
- FIG. 11 shows the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) weight loss profiles of fully hydrated CUK-1 and SAPO-34 under a dry N 2 flow.
- COP C coefficient of Performance
- FIG. 14 shows water adsorption isotherms of Mn-CUK-1 as a function of adsorption temperatures.
- FIG. 15 shows water adsorption-desorption isotherms of Mn-CUK-1 at 40° C.
- US 2012/0251438A discloses the use of various metal organic frameworks for the separation or storage of gas phase moisture from the moisture content of natural gas.
- US 2012/0251438A at least failed to disclose the structures or the moisture adsorption isotherms of the metal organic frameworks.
- the limited data in US 2012/0251438A indicated that the moisture adsorption amount of the metal organic frameworks was low (e.g., about 12 wt %).

- Similarly, WO 2004/113227A describes a zeolite as a dehumidifying apparatus. However, the zeolite in WO 2004/113227A demonstrates low moisture adsorption capacities, especially in environments with low relative humidity.
- As such, a need exists for improved H2O sorbents and H2O sorption methods that can be used for the consistent sorption of H2O in a reversible manner and at higher capacities. The H2O sorbents and H2O sorption methods of the present disclosure address these needs.

- In some embodiments illustrated in
FIG. 1 , the H2O sorption methods of the present disclosure include a step of associating the environment with the porous material (step 10). In some embodiments, the associating results in the sorption of the H2O to the porous material (step 12).

For instance, in some embodiments, the H2O sorption methods of the present disclosure can be utilized for the sorption of H2O from numerous environments, such as environments that require dehumidification (e.g., water sorption-driven chiller/heat pumps and thermal batteries).
- Reference will now be made to more specific embodiments of the present disclosure and experimental results that provide support for such embodiments. However, Applicants note that the disclosure below is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed subject matter in any way.
- In this Example, Applicants demonstrate that Co-CUK-1, Ni-CUK-1 and Mg-CUK-1 are stable absorbers of moisture, especially when compared with organic and inorganic hybrid nanoporous materials.
- Co-CUK-1 was synthesized by adding an aqueous solution of KOH (1M) and
pyridine 2,4-dicarboxylic acid (1 mmol) to an aqueous solution (1.5 mmol) of CoCl2.6H2O. The solution was placed in a stainless steel autoclave and heated for 18 hours at 200° C. The precipitated Co-CUK-1 was then filtered and dried in an oven for about 12 hours. - In Co-CUK-1, it was observed that the organic ligands are coordinated with five different Co metal ions and the core metal is coupled through three bridging interactions (the chelating carboxylate, the monomer atom hydroxyl group bridge inclusion in the 4-carboxylate bridge, and the edge of the vertex). Moreover, as observed from a monocrystal construction analysis, Co-CUK-1 has a one-dimensional diamond shape channel, where water is within the micropores of the crystalline structure.
- The moisture adsorption property of Co-CUK-1 was measured by using a TGA gravimetric analysis adsorption device. The vapor pressure adsorption and desorption isotherm was measured at a relative vapor pressure P/P0 that ranged from 0 to 1.0. As shown in
FIG. 3 , the moisture desorption isotherm of Co-CUK-1 had a reversible isotherm, which reached saturation at a relative pressure (P/P0) of about 0.20. In addition, the maximum H2O adsorption capacity was about 0.3 g H2O per 1 g of Co-CUK-1 at a relative pressure of about 1. - In contrast, a NaX zeolite reached saturation at a relative pressure (P/P0) of about 0.05. In addition, the maximum H2O adsorption capacity of the zeolite was about 0.22 g H2O per 1 g of NaX at a relative pressure of about 1. Moreover, the NaX zeolite required a regeneration temperature of more than 150° C.

FIG. 4 provides a more detailed comparison of the H2O adsorption capacities of different adsorbents. The comparison illustrates that the moisture absorption-desorption characteristics of Co-CUK-1 was superior to the other commercial adsorbents, such as SAPO-34 and NaX. -
FIG. 5 demonstrates that Co-CUK-1 has optimal hydrothermal stability. Co-CUK-1 was exposed to boiling water of 100° C. for about 1 hour. No structural collapse was observed. Furthermore, as shown in the water adsorption isotherm inFIG. 5 , no significant change in water adsorption capacity was observed after the hydrothermal treatment. Such results demonstrate that Co-CUK-1 has high durability and reusability. - Ni-CUK-1 was synthesized by the same method outlined in Example 1.1. The obtained surface area and pore volume of the synthesized Ni-CUK-1 were 630 m2/g and 0.224 cm3/g, respectively. The moisture adsorption properties of Ni-CUK-1 was measured to be the same as Co-CUK-1 in Example 1.1. In particular, as shown in the moisture desorption isotherm in
FIG. 6 , Ni-CUK-1 had a reversible isotherm, which reached saturation at a relative pressure (P/P0) of about 0.22. In addition, the maximum H2O adsorption capacity was about 0.3 g H2O per 1 g of Ni-CUK-1 at a relative pressure of about 1. - Mg-CUK-1 was synthesized by the same method outlined in Example 1.1. The obtained surface area and pore volume of the synthesized Mg-CUK-1 were 403 m2/g and 0.160 cm3/g, respectively. The moisture adsorption properties of Mg-CUK-1 were also measured to be the same as Co-CUK-1 and Ni-CUK-1 in Examples 1.1 and 1.2, respectively. In particular, as shown in the moisture desorption isotherm in
FIG. 7 , Mg-CUK-1 had a reversible isotherm, which reached saturation at a relative pressure (P/P0) of about 0.20. In addition, the maximum H2O adsorption capacity was about 0.35 g H2O per 1 g of Ni-CUK-1 at a relative pressure of about 1. -
FIG. 8 shows the thermogravimetric analysis profile for 50 cycles of water adsorption-desorption of Co-CUK-1. Adsorption occurred at 30° C. in humid nitrogen (RH 35%) and desorption occurred at 63° C. in nitrogen with low humidity (RH 6%). Prior to the multiple cycle experiment, the first cycle was carried out by a different condition such that Co-CUK-1 is dehydrated at 150° C. for 1 hour in dry N2, hydrated at 30° C. in humid nitrogen (RH 35%), and then dehydrated again at 63° C. in nitrogen with low humidity (RH 6%). The highly reversible cyclability test data shows a negligible difference in working capacity between consecutive cycles, indicating a very high cycling durability of Co-CUK-1. This result clearly highlights the energy-efficient water sorption properties of Co-CUK-1, which is suitable for facile dehydration below 70° C. -
FIG. 9 shows the thermogravimetric analysis profile for 10 cycles of water adsorption-desorption of Ni-CUK-1. Adsorption occurred at 30° C. in humid nitrogen (RH 35%) and desorption occurred at 55° C. in nitrogen with low humidity (RH 6%). Prior to the multiple cycle experiment, the first cycle was carried out by a different condition such that Ni-CUK-1 is dehydrated at 150° C. for 1 hour in dry N2, hydrated at 30° C. in humid nitrogen (RH 35%), and then dehydrated again at 55° C. in nitrogen with low humidity (RH 6%). This result highlights the energy-efficient water sorption properties of Ni-CUK-1. -
FIG. 10 shows the thermogravimetric analysis profile for 10 cycles of water adsorption-desorption of Mg-CUK-1. Adsorption occurred at 30° C. in humid nitrogen (RH 35%) and desorption occurred at 55° C. in nitrogen with low humidity (RH 6%). Prior to the multiple cycle experiment, the first cycle was carried out by a different condition such that Mg-CUK-1 is dehydrated at 150° C. for 1 hour in dry N2, hydrated at 30° C. in humid nitrogen (RH 35%), and then dehydrated again at 55° C. in nitrogen with low humidity (RH 6%). This result reveals the hydrothermal stability of Mg-CUK-1 under multiple cyclic conditions. -
FIG. 11 shows the TGA weight loss profiles of fully hydrated CUK-1 and SAPO-34 under a dry N2 flow. The carrier gas flow rate was 30 ml/min. The ramping rate was 2° C./min. -
FIG. 12 shows gravimetric and volumetric heat from an evaporator, and heat storage capacities calculated for M-CUK-1 and three benchmark water adsorbents in one refrigeration cycle as a function of temperature lift. The benchmark water adsorbents include SAPO-34 zeolite, aluminum-2,5-furandicarboxylate MIL-160, and aluminumisophthalate CAU-10-H. This graph was obtained by thermodynamic calculations using a method derived by De Lange et al. (Chemical Reviews, 115 (2015) 12205). For the calculations, boundary conditions of the refrigeration cycle were fixed at Tev=5° C., Tcon=30° C., and Tdes=70° C. for heat transferred from the evaporator; Tev=10° C., Tcpn=30° C., and Tdes=70° C. for energy storage capacity per unit weight or volume of adsorbent, where Tev, Tcon, and Tdes are temperatures of evaporation, condensation, and desorption, respectively. These values confirm that Co-CUK-1 and Ni-CUK-1 outperform SAPO-34 for heat transfer applications. -
FIG. 13 shows Coefficient of Performance (COPC) plots for chiller conditions (Tev=5° C., Tads=30° C.) as a function of desorption temperature, Tdes and working capacity as volume of liquid water per volume of dry adsorbent, ΔW, as function of desorption temperature for Co-CUK-1, Ni-CUK-1, and Mg-CUK-1. In terms of COPC, Mg-CUK-1 is a very good water adsorbent because it is up to 0.9 at a very low desorption temperature, Tdes=60° C. Such a high COPC value has never been reported in the literature. - Finally, the water sorption properties and energy storage capacities of CUK-1 and SAPO-34 are summarized in Table 1.

Prior to adsorption experiments, the sample was dehydrated at 100° C. for 1 hour under high vacuum (<10−6 Torr). Water adsorption isotherms for Mn-CUK-1 measured at three different temperatures are depicted in
FIG. 14 . The isotherms show a sigmoidal shape between P/P0=0.05-0.3 (P0=saturation vapor pressure) with two adsorption steps of P/P0=0.05 and P/P0=0.3. - The three isotherms are very similar except a slight difference in the second adsorption step. Most of the water uptake occurs below P/P0=0.4. Furthermore, Mn-CUK-1 exhibits an optimal water equilibrium uptake of 0.22 g/g at 30° C. and P/P0<0.4.
- The adsorption-desorption isotherm of Mn-CUK-1 at 40° C. (
FIG. 15 ) portrays fully reversible water sorption with only a small hysteresis near adsorption steps, which is indicative of facile water cycling regeneration in Mn-CUK-1. X-ray diffraction patterns of Mn-CUK-1 showed no difference before and after water sorption measurements, indicating the hydrolytic stability. - In summary, the experimental results in Example 1.6 indicate that Mn-CUK-1 shows a stepped Type-I adsorption isotherm for water with saturation achieved above 0.4 P/P0. The saturation capacity is in line with the internal surface area of the CUK-1 materials. The behavior below 0.4 P/P0 shows a two-step gating behavior due to partial pore opening in two discrete steps. There is little T dependence. As seen from the 40° C. isotherm, the desorption phase mirrors the adsorption with a slight (ca. 0.05 P/P0) hysteresis.
