Abstract

Based on the experimentally determined framework structure of porous MnO 2 octahedral molecular sieve (OMS)-5, we used density functional theory-based calculations to evaluate the effect of Na + cation on pore dimensionality and structural stability, and the interaction between CO 2 and OMS-5. We quantified the formation energy of one CO 2 /unit tunnel and two CO 2 /unit tunnel, and projected the electronic density of states on the OMS-5 framework, CO 2 molecules, and Na + cations to reveal their individual contributions and bonding nature. Partial charge densities were also calculated to investigate CO 2 adsorption behavior in the OMS-5. Our studies predict the initial stage and driving force for the adsorption of CO 2 in the OMS-5, guiding the OMS material design for carbon capture and storage applications.
