Key Points

The study aims to explore how different organic ligands, metal centres, and synthesis methods affect the oxygen adsorption capacity and selectivity of zinc-based frameworks.
Examined mono- and bimetallic zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs)
Analyzed the impact of various organic ligands and metal components
Utilized ultrasonication as a synthesis method to improve performance
Partial cobalt substitution in ZIF-8 significantly enhances oxygen capacity
Iron-rich ZIF-8 shows improved selectivity for oxygen adsorption
Ultrasonication improves cycling stability of the materials

Abstract

Mono- and bimetallic ZIFs for oxygen capacity, selectivity, and cyclability as a function of organic ligand, metal centre, and synthesis method are mapped. Partial Co substitution in ZIF-8 maximises capacity, Fe-rich ZIF-8 prioritises selectivity, and ultrasonication enhances cycling stability.
