Photo-Responsive Porous Materials

<要旨> Nanoporous compounds have been widely used because of their practical applications for gas storage, separation, and in molecular catalysis. Porous coordination polymers (PCPs)/metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been intensively studied because of their high customizability for porous properties by choosing various combinations of organic ligands and metal ions. One of the unique features for PCPs/MOFs is their “responsive” nature of crystalline frameworks to external stimuli such as photoirradiation. Here, some recent achievements in our research group about photo-responsive crystalline materials for the control of molecular adsorption are reported.

固体吸収材による省エネルギーCO2回収
Energy-Saving CO2 Capture using Solid Sorbents

<要旨> CO2 capture using amine solid sorbents is an alternative method that avoids the energy penalty associated with conventional liquid absorbents, because solid sorbents have the advantages of low specific heat and low volatility. The Research Institute of Innovative Technology for the Earth (RITE) has been developing an amine-based solid sorbent system since 2010 on the basis of RITE’s novel amine absorbent and porous adsorbent technologies. In order to effectively reduce the regeneration energy and avoid amine degradation, we demonstrated a unique strategy for adopting low-temperature processes through the modification of a polyamine by attaching hindered functional groups to the terminal primary amino groups. In this report, we show the peformance of our solid sorbents and the current status of the R&D project, aiming to establish a solid sorbent system that captures CO2 from coal-fired power plants.

Effective Dispersion of Nano-Sized MOF Particles in Mixed Matrix Membrane (MMM) Leading to an Acceleration of Scale-up Membrane-Based Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Technology

<要旨> Nowadays a commercial polymer shows rather acceptable gas selectivity and further enhancement of permeability has been earnestly demanded in reducing the membrane area for energy-efficient CO2 capture. Here we report an example of an emerging favourable synergy for application of gas separation mixed matrix membrane (MMM) between high-permeability polymer of intrinsic microporosity (PIM) and amine-functionalized nano-size-controlled filler. Usually porous additives are employed with intention of enhancing gas permeability with polymers of low intrinsic permeability. While in the case of this study, an effective improvement of selectivity was achieved by adding size controlled filler to rather high-permeability of the porous matrix polymer. The enhancement of selectivity became grater by utilizing (amine) functionalized filler of reduced particle size, which turned out to be well-dispersed in the polymer matrices with formation of less voids at PIM/filler interfaces resulting in significant decrease of non-selective gas permeation through those defects.

<要旨> Carbon membranes are a type of inorganic membranes in which the active separation layer consists of carbon or carbides. Carbon membranes have excellent gas and vapor separation performances due to the molecular sieve effect. Carbon membranes can be applied to the separation of corrosive gases and organic solvents by taking advantage of the chemical resistance of carbon. This article summarizes our recent research and the development of carbon membrane modules from a practical application perspective is also discussed.

<要旨> Bipolar electrochemistry, which involves redox reactions on a wireless electrode (bipolar electrode) in low concentration of supporting electrolyte, has attracted much attention due to its versatile use in interdisciplinary fields ranging from analytical chemistry to materials science. In this article, we focus on the recent progress in electropolymerization of aromatic monomers using bipolar electrochemistry (bipolar electropolymerization). Site-selective modification of conductors, such as carbon nanotubes, metal plates and particles with conducting polymers is realized. Conducting polymer fiber formation by alternating-current bipolar electropolymerization is also included.
