In this study, we have employed castor oil (CO) and ricinoleic acid (RA) as green capping and dispersing agents in the preparation of PbS nanoparticles. The synthesis was carried out via thermolysis of bis(tetrahydroquinolinedithiocarbamato)lead(II) complex at temperatures ranging from 190 to 300 °C. The influence of the nature of the capping agent and the synthesis temperature on the morphology, structure, and optical properties of the synthesized particles was studied. P-XRD analysis demonstrated formation of crystalline, phase pure cubic rock salt PbS at all reaction conditions. Morphological characterization revealed distinct, temperature dependent evolution of particle morphologies. Castor oil-capped nanoparticles exhibited a progression in anisotropic morphologies with increasing temperature, in which a mixed population of quasi-spherical particles, nanorods, multipods, and cuboidal structures were observed at 190 °C, while predominantly branched star-like structures were formed at higher temperatures. In contrast, ricinoleic acid capped nanoparticles displayed a transition from quasi-spherical to cuboidal and rod-like structures with increasing temperature, which reflects a balance between kinetic and thermodynamic growth pathways. UV-Vis-NIR spectra of all the synthesized particles were blue shifted relative to bulk PbS, with Tauc analysis yielding direct band gaps in the range of 1.125–0.816 eV, confirming the synthesis of nanoscale PbS.

However, current materials encounter challenges related to storage capacity and operational conditions. Therefore, it is essential to develop new and innovative materials for capturing and storing CH₄. The versatility of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) allows for significant opportunities in this area due to their ease of functionalization. This inclusive innovation study explores the adsorption properties of CH₄ in M₂(m-dobdc) MOFs (M = Fe, Co, Ni, Cu; m-dobdc⁴⁻=4,6-dioxido-1,3-benzenedicarboxylate) through first-principles calculations. Strong orbital interactions between the M and surrounding oxygens result in notable charge depletion on the metal atoms, making them potential sites for CH₄ adsorption. The strength of CH₄ adsorption at each metal site is evaluated by analyzing the adsorption energy, charge transfer, charge density difference map, and partial density of states. The type of metal atom has a minimal influence on the CH₄ storage capacity of M₂(m-dobdc) frameworks. The findings reveal that M₂(m-dobdc) can hold up to 18 CH₄ molecules (per unit cell) with an average adsorption energy of about − 0.44 eV. The M₂(m-dobdc) frameworks can efficiently store and separate CH₄ molecules at moderate temperatures and pressures. Furthermore, M₂(m-dobdc) frameworks demonstrate outstanding capability for separating CH₄ from CH₄/CF₄, CH₄/N₂, CH₄/CO_2, and CH₄/H₂ binary mixtures.
