Abstract

We have examined the performance of phosphorene-based material, phosphorene slit pores (PSP), in CO 2 adsorption and separation from natural gas by using Density Function Theory (DFT) calculation and Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations. First, the adsorption of CH 4 and CO 2 molecules on phosphorene sheet were conducted by DFT study. Then, adsorption performances of natural gas components as well as their binary CO 2 /CH 4 gas mixture were investigated at 300 K with the pressure up to 3.0 MPa. The effects of slit pore width, H, and mole ratio of CO 2 /CH 4 in the gas phase on the separation of CO 2 from mixtures of CO 2 /CH 4 were also investigated. Our DFT calculation results show that the CO 2 moleculehas higher adsorption energy than that of CH 4 , which implies that it can be easily adsorbed to the phosphorene surface than CH 4 . Detailed GCMC simulations reveal that the phosphorene slit pore has a high performance in separating CO 2 fromnature gas and achieves the highest gas selectivity at H = 1.0 nm at pressures lower than 0.1 MPa. Moreover, the selectivity of CO 2 overCO 2 /CH 4 gas mixture increases with increasing the mole ratio of CO 2 /CH 4 due to the enhanced adsorbate-adsorbent interactions for the favorable component. Therefore, it is suggested that the phosphorene is a promising candidate for natural gas purification and possessing practical potential applications in gas adsorption. © 2016 Elsevier B.V.
