Furthermore, the single-component adsorption isotherms of CO2 and N2 were experimentally measured and fitted to the Langmuir\u2013Freundlich model. The CO2\/N2 selectivity of the composite was evaluated based on the ideal adsorption solution theory (IAST). The results demonstrated that the addition of Zn2+ significantly enhanced the specific surface area and improved the CO2 adsorption capacity (3.97 mmol\/g at 35 \u00b0C and 1 bar), with an increase of 31.5% in comparison with the Cu-BTC\/MCFs (3.02 mmol\/g). Meanwhile, the Zn-Cu-BTC\/MCFs had good recyclability and CO2\/N2 selectivity up to 12.5 determined via IAST (CO2:N2 = 85:15).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nano15231777","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,26]],"date-time":"2025-11-26T11:43:22Z","timestamp":1764157402000},"page":"1777","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["A Novel Zn-Cu Bimetallic Mixed-Component MOFs Composite for Efficient CO2 Capture"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Haihong","family":"Zhao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mining Engineering, Shanxi Institute of Technology, Yangquan 045000, China"},{"name":"Yangquan Technology Innovation Center of Carbon Dioxide Capture, Utilization and Storage, Yangquan 045000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lei","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Coal Conversion, Institute of Coal Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Taiyuan 030001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiaxin","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mining Engineering, Shanxi Institute of Technology, Yangquan 045000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Feiqi","family":"Yan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mining Engineering, Shanxi Institute of Technology, Yangquan 045000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wenhao","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mining Engineering, Shanxi Institute of Technology, Yangquan 045000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mingxia","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mining Engineering, Shanxi Institute of Technology, Yangquan 045000, China"},{"name":"Yangquan Technology Innovation Center of Carbon Dioxide Capture, Utilization and Storage, Yangquan 045000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"124666","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cej.2020.124666","article-title":"Facile synthesis of CuBTC and its graphene oxide composites as efficient adsorbents for CO2 capture","volume":"393","author":"Shang","year":"2020","journal-title":"Chem.
