The urgent need for sustainable and innovative approaches to mitigate theincreasing levels of atmospheric CO$_2$ necessitates the development ofefficient methods for its removal. In this study, we focus on the synthesis andfunctionalization of metal-organic framework (MOF) ZIF-8 at room temperature toenhance its capacity for CO$_2$ capture. Specifically, we investigated theimpact of four amino-compounds, namely tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA),hexadecylamine (HDA), ethanolamine (ELA), and cyclopropylamine (CPA), on thechemical structure, size, surface area and porosity and CO$_2$ capturing ofZIF-8 powder. By varying concentrations of the amino-compounds, we examinedtheir influence on the ZIF-8 properties. These results highlight the potentialof simple synthesis and functionalization techniques for MOFs in enhancingtheir CO$_2$ capture capabilities. The findings from this study offer newopportunities for the development of strategies to mitigate CO$_2$ emissionsusing MOFs.
