摘要

The increasing concentration of atmospheric CO2 has intensified the demand for efficient adsorption materials. In this study, a bacterial cellulose (BC)-based composite was derived from Nata de coco waste originating from industrial production in Thailand, thereby contributing to both CO2 adsorption and waste utilization. The BC-based composite was functionalized with amino-modified zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8-NH2) via an in-situ synthesis to form hierarchical porous structures. Further enhancement was achieved by grafting (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES) into the unreacted hydroxyl groups (–OH), which were incompletely covered by ZIF-8, to increase CO2 adsorption capacity. Structural and adsorption characterizations revealed that the ZIF-8-NH2/BC composite exhibited a CO2 adsorption capacity of 1.64 ± 0.02 mmol/g, which was significantly higher than that of pristine BC (0.21 ± 0.02 mmol/g). Subsequently, the optimal concentration of APTES grafting increased this capacity to 1.92 mmol/g ± 0.02 mmol/g at 0 °C. The optimized composite demonstrated a CO2/N2 selectivity of approximately 15 and maintained adsorption efficiency over five cycles, indicating robust recyclability. This work highlights the potential of APTES-functionalized ZIF-8-NH2/BC composite as sustainable and efficient CO2 adsorbents.
