The effect of Ionic Liquid (IL) encapsulation in Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) is extensively studied towards the enhancement of the MOFs as CO 2 -selective materials. The influence of the IL anion-cation pair type is investigated through the combination of two different cations, namely 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium [bmim + ] and 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium [omim + ] and three distinct anions, namely bis-trifluoromethylsulfonyl-imide [Tf 2 N − ], tricyanomethanide [TCM − ], and tertracyanoborate [B(CN) 4 − ], that can be encapsulated in ZIF-8, resulting in a series of ZIF hybrids (IL@ZIF-8). The study investigates the impact of the anion and the cation on the separation of CO 2 from mixtures with CH 4 and N 2 . Monte Carlo simulations of adsorption of the three gases in both the pristine ZIF-8 and in ILs@ZIF-8 reveal that CO 2 capacity increases dramatically for the case of ILs@ZIF-8. Moreover, analysis of the simulations and additional density functional theory calculations show that CO 2 /CH 4 (related to natural gas purification) and CO 2 /N 2 (related to post-combustion CO 2 capture) mixture selectivity is affected by the distribution, composition and type of the IL pair. Moreover, the sorbent selection parameter, S, and the regenerability factor, R, are used to evaluate the performance of all IL@ZIF-8 analogues along with other known CO 2 -selective materials.
