Here,
we present a new concept of a core–shell type ionic
liquid/metal organic framework (IL/MOF) composite. A hydrophilic IL,
1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide, [HEMIM][DCA],
was deposited on a hydrophobic zeolitic imidazolate framework, ZIF-8.
The composite exhibited approximately 5.7 times higher CO2 uptake and 45 times higher CO2/CH4 selectivity
at 1 mbar and 25 °C compared to the parent MOF. Characterization
showed that IL molecules deposited on the external surface of the
MOF, forming a core (MOF)–shell (IL) type material, in which
IL acts as a smart gate for the guest molecules.
