Abstract:
Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) holds substantial value for purification and recycling in environmental governance and resource optimization because of its significant greenhouse effect. In this paper, a series of halogenated COF-637 structures were obtained by designing and regulating the types, numbers, and modification sites of halogen atoms. The optimal halogenated structure for selective adsorption of SF6/N2 was determined by Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations and Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. Results indicate that under conditions of 298 K and 1 bar, COF-p-X (X = F, Cl, Br, where 'p' represents halogen substitution at the para-position on the phenyl ring of the tetraphenylphenyl side chain) exhibits good selective separation performance for SF6/N2 mixtures. Among them, COF-p-Br shows the highest selectivity of 331.29, with an SF6 adsorption capacity of 1.77 mmol/g. In contrast, COF-p-F exhibits a higher SF6 uptake of 6.35 mmol/g, along with a selectivity of 290.4, outperforming most previously reported adsorbents. Theoretical analysis reveals that the halogen-functionalized pores can engage in multiple C-X···F(SF6) interactions. Notably, the COF-p-Br with smaller pore characteristics exhibits the highest adsorption energy and Bader charge transfer in the SF6@COF-p-Br system. To elucidate how halogen atoms modulate the electronic structure of the framework, total density of states (TDOS), electrostatic potential maps, and local charge distribution analyses have been conducted. This research not only provides insights into the adsorption mechanisms of halogenated COFs but also offers theoretical support for designing high-performance SF6 purification materials. © 2025
