This Minireview focuses on the developments of the adsorptive separation of
methane/nitrogen, ethene/ethane, propene/propane mixtures as well as on the separation of …

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as a new generation of porous materials
that demonstrate great promise in diverse application fields, especially gas separation, due …

As a major greenhouse gas, methane, which is directly vented from the coal‐mine to the
atmosphere, has not yet drawn sufficient attention. To address this problem, we report a …

The enrichment and purification of coal‐bed methane provides a source of energy and helps
offset global warming. In this work, we demonstrate a strategy involving the regulation of the …

Efficient separation of the CH4/N2 mixture is of great significance for coalbed methane
purification. It is an effective strategy to separate this mixture by tuning the van der Waals …

Global warming has become a growing concern over decades, prompting numerous
research endeavours to reduce the carbon dioxide (CO2) emission, the major greenhouse …

Mechanochemistry enables targeted, rapid synthesis of bimetallic metal–organic
frameworks (MOFs) with a controlled 1: 1 stoichiometric composition of metal nodes. In …

The rapid increase of natural gas consumption has induced imbalance between supply and
demand of natural gas, and the continuous growth of methane emissions has severely …

The adsorptive separation of methane (CH4) and nitrogen (N2) is a challenging yet crucial
process in the purification of unconventional natural gas. In this work, we report a robust Zr …

Methane (CH4) is the second most important greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide (CO2),
but its global warming potential is 21–28 times that of CO2. Coal mining accounts for 9% of …
