Abstract
A bulk Poly(vinyl alcohol)/ZIF-8 (PVA/ZIF-8) porous composite with aligned porous structure was prepared by ice-templating method. The microstructure of PVA/ZIF-8 porous composites was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the composites had regular pore structure and ZIF-8 nanoparticles were evenly distributed on the skeleton of PVA. X-ray diffraction (XRD) test results showed that the crystalline structure of ZIF-8 was well preserved in the composites. The specific surface area of the composite was characterized by nitrogen adsorption/desorption test. The specific surface area of the composite was up to 1160 m2·gt1. PVA/ZIF-8 porous composites could also support a certain weight with almost no volume shrinkage. The carbon dioxide adsorption quantity of the composite was up to 11.3 cm3·gt1, proving that PVA/ZIF-8 porous composite has a good application prospect in the field of carbon dioxide adsorption.
