Selective adsorption of propene over propane on Li-decorated poly (triazine imide)

Yong Wang¹, Xiaoxia Jia¹, Libo Li*, Jiangfeng Yang, Jinping Li*

Coordinatively unsaturated metal sites (CUS) plays a dominating role in preferential adsorption of olefins over paraffins. Poly (triazine imide) (PTI) nanosheets can reach rapid gas adsorption equilibrium, due to its large surface-to-volume ratio. Combining the advantages of the CUS and the PTI nanosheets, we computationally demonstrate that the Li CUS–PTI complexes with slit pore architecture are potentially useful for C₃H₆/C₃H₈ adsorption separation.
