Methane(CH4)as a substitute for other mineral fuels plays a crucial role in reducing energy consumption and preventing environmental pollution.The present study employs a solvothermal method to fabricate a porous framework Co-metal-organic framework(Co-MOF)containing two distinct secondary building units(SBUs):an anionic[Co2(μ2-OH)(COO)4(H2O)]and a neutral[CoN2(COO)2].Notably,within the anionic SBUs,the coordinated water molecules induce the generation of divergent unsaturated Co(Ⅱ)centers in the unidirectional porous channels,thereby creating open metal sites.The adsorption per-formance of Co-MOF towards pure component gases was systematically investigated.The results demonstrated that Co-MOF exhibits superior adsorption capacity for C2-C3 hydrocarbons compared to CH4,which offers the potential for efficient adsorption and separation of CH4 from C2-C3 hydrocarbons.The gas selectivity separation ratios of Co-MOF for C2H6/CH4 and C3H8/CH4 were calculated using the ideal adsorbed solution theory method at 273/298 K and 0.1 MPa.The results revealed that Co-MOF achieved remarkable equilibrium separation selectivity for CH4 and C2-C3 hydrocarbon gases among non-modified MOFs,signifying the potential of the synthesized Co-MOF for efficient recovery and pu-rification of CH4 from C2-C3 hydrocarbons.Breakthrough experiments further demonstrate the ability of Co-MOF to purify methane from C2-C3 hydrocarbons in practical gas separation scenarios.Additionally,molecular simulation calculations further substantiate the propensity of anionic SBUs to interact with C2-C3 hydrocarbon compounds.This study provides a novel paradigm for the development of porous MOF materials in the application of gas mixture separation.
