Narrow Results

Adding porous nanoparticles into fluid can modify the energy storage properties of working fluid in the thermodynamic cycles. The adsorption capacity and thermal energy storage of CO₂ in MOF-74 and UIO-66 at different temperatures and pressures are investigated in this paper via molecular simulations. The results denote that the adsorption of CO₂ in the two studied metal organic frameworks (MOFs) differ from each other due to the different structures. The adsorption capacity of CO₂ in MOF-74 is larger than that in UIO-66. However, the desorption heat of CO₂ in MOF-74 is lower than that in UIO-66. Also, UIO-66 impacts more than MOF-74 on the thermal energy storage property of CO₂.

The integration of different disciplines is the core of the application orientation of UIO-66 materials, and it has expanded the boundaries of the application field of UIO-66 materials by exploring infinite space in chemical composition and material properties. Significant advancements have been achieved in utilizing the distinct characteristics of UIO-66 materials, both in basic and practical terms. In this review, our aim is to examine the key achievements in utilizing UIO-66 materials, encompassing areas like gas separation, catalysis, quartz crystal microbalance sensor and energy storage, and offer an essential viewpoint on their progress in practical applications. Finally, we succinctly address the primary obstacles that must be tackled in these domains to lay the groundwork for industrial utilization.
