Summary: A stable metal-organic framework (DMA)(4)[Sn-2(THO)(2)] with isolated and distorted octahedral SnO62- active sites is reported as an electrocatalyst for electrochemical CO2 reduction reactions. It shows exceptional performance for CH4 production, surpassing most reported copper-based and all non-Cu metal-based catalysts. The isolated SnO62- active site favors the formation of *OCOH species to produce CH4 and inhibits the formation of *OCHO and *COOH species to produce *HCOOH and *CO, respectively.

Summary: To improve the quality of biogas for biomethane production, it is necessary to separate CO2 from it. This study achieved improved CO2/CH4 separation through surface modification of carbon molecular sieves (CMS) using metal oxide (Fe3O4) and N-doping (DES-[ChCl:Gly]). The surface-modified CMS showed enhanced CO2 uptake capacity and CO2/CH4 separation compared to unmodified CMS. However, CMS-DES-[ChCl:Gly] was more difficult to regenerate due to higher adsorption heat value.

Summary: A general approach to prepare superhydrophobic MOFs-CF3 through a post-decorating strategy for highly efficient chemical fixation of CO2 was demonstrated. The enhanced catalytic activity of MOFs-CF3 is attributed to a synergistic effect between the Lewis acid sites of MOFs and modification of the electron-withdrawing trifluoromethyl group, resulting in a high CO2 enrichment capacity. The possible mechanism of cycloaddition catalyzed by the MOFs-CF3 catalyst was also proposed.

Summary: In this study, modified Ce-UiO-66 MOFs were synthesized within 10 minutes using simultaneous microwave and ultrasound irradiation method. The porosity of the MOF was altered using the soft-templating approach. This strategy resulted in the construction of a hierarchically micro-mesoporous structure with an average mesopore size of 11.10 nm, leading to improved CO2 adsorption performance.

Summary: In this study, a pre-synthetic pore environment design strategy was utilized to create stable methyl-functionalized metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for enhanced low pressure SO2 adsorption and separation from CO2. The key role of increasing methyl group densities at the benzenedicarboxylate linker in optimizing pore size was demonstrated for the first time. Various methods, including gas sorption isotherms, theoretical calculations, simulations, and DFT calculations, were used to validate the SO2 separation potential of methyl-functionalized MOFs.

Summary: This paper systematically evaluates the accuracy of the ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST) for gas adsorption using a large collection of binary experimental data, which will be valuable for future efforts to test or develop mixing theories that improve upon FAST. This analysis includes data from 63 gas mixtures of 37 different molecular species and 174 different adsorbents, making it the most systematic evaluation to date of the accuracy of IAST for gas adsorption.

Summary: A guest solvent-directed strategy was employed to fine-tune the pore size and achieve highly efficient kinetic separation. The constructed metal-organic frameworks showed excellent separation performance, with a periodically expanding and contracting aperture that effectively trapped CO2 and hindered the diffusion of CH4, resulting in ultrahigh kinetic selectivity and equilibrium-kinetic combined selectivity.
