An Ongoing Futuristic Career of Metal–Organic Frameworks and Ionic Liquids, A Magical Gateway to Capture CO<sub>2</sub>; A Critical Review
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies are the
“knight
in shining armor” that can save humanity from burnout in the
longer term, minimizing damage from CO2 emissions by keeping
them out of the atmosphere. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs)
have received a promising career for CO2 capture due to
their high porosity, surface area, excellent metal-to-ligand interaction,
and good affinity to capture CO2 molecules. On the other
hand, Ionic liquids (ILs) as emerging solvents have reported a significant
influence on CO2 solubility due to their wide range of
tunability in the selection of a variety of cations and anions along
with the advantage of nonvolatility, high thermal stability, and nonflammability.
The current Review highlights the recent progress and ongoing careers
of employing MOFs and ILs in carbon capture technologies before their
commercialization on a large scale. A brief overview of CO2 capturing using MOFs and ILs is given under the influence of their
possible functionalization to enhance their CO2 separation.
Information on the possible integration of MOFs-ILs as a composite
system or membrane-based gas separation is also presented in detail.
The integration has a high potential to capture CO2 while
minimizing the unit operation costs for a stable, efficient, and smooth
industrial gas separation operation. Present work attempts to link
the chemistry of MOF and IL and their successful hybridization (MOF-IL
composite) to process the economics for CO2 capture
