Abstract

The removal of SO₂ from flue gas remains a challenge. Adsorption-based separation of SO₂ using porous materials has been proposed as a more energy-efficient and cost-effective alternative to more traditional methods such as cryogenic distillations. Here we report a flexible hydrogen-bonded organic framework (HOF-NKU-1) that enables the sieving of SO₂ through the guest-adaptive response and shape-memory effect of the material. HOF-NKU-1 exhibits a high selectivity of 7,331 for the separation of SO₂/CO₂ and a high SO₂ storage density of 3.27 g cm^-3 within the pore space at ambient conditions. The hydrophobic nature of HOF-NKU-1 enables high dynamic SO₂ uptake and SO₂ recovery, even in conditions of 95% humidity. The SO₂/CO₂ separation mechanism is studied through combinatorial gas sorption isotherms, breakthrough experiments and single-crystal diffraction studies, paving the way for the development of multifunctional shape-memory porous materials in the future.

期刊介绍： Nature Chemistry is a monthly journal that publishes groundbreaking and significant research in all areas of chemistry. It covers traditional subjects such as analytical, inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry, as well as a wide range of other topics including catalysis, computational and theoretical chemistry, and environmental chemistry. The journal also features interdisciplinary research at the interface of chemistry with biology, materials science, nanotechnology, and physics. Manuscripts detailing such multidisciplinary work are encouraged, as long as the central theme pertains to chemistry. Aside from primary research, Nature Chemistry publishes review articles, news and views, research highlights from other journals, commentaries, book reviews, correspondence, and analysis of the broader chemical landscape. It also addresses crucial issues related to education, funding, policy, intellectual property, and the societal impact of chemistry. Nature Chemistry is dedicated to ensuring the highest standards of original research through a fair and rigorous review process. It offers authors maximum visibility for their papers, access to a broad readership, exceptional copy editing and production standards, rapid publication, and independence from academic societies and other vested interests. Overall, Nature Chemistry aims to be the authoritative voice of the global chemical community.
