A kind of metal-organic frameworks (MOF-5) and aminated graphite oxide (AGO) composites were prepared for CO2 capture to mitigate global warming. MOF-5, MOF-5/GO (composite of MOF-5 and graphite oxide) and MOF-5/AGO samples were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy (IR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), nitrogen adsorption as well as thermogravimetric analysis to figure out their chemistry and structure information. Three types of samples with suitable specific surface area and pore diameter were chosen to test CO2 adsorption performance and stability under humidity conditions. The results indicate that high surface area and pore volume, pore similar in size to the size of gas adsorbate, and extra reactive sites modified in the composites contributes to the high CO2 capacity. Besides, the composites involved by GO or AGO show better anti-moisture performance than the parent MOF. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
