Organo-Metallic Palladium Complexes used for CO2 Storage and Environmental Remediation

Gas storage is an important branch of technology that has many economic and environmental aspects. This technique could save gas to the need time and contribute to solving the CO2 and global warming problems. In this work, the structure and physicochemical properties of the prepared palladium complex were characterized in the solid and solution states using spectroscopic techniques. These examination methods include ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), metal and elemental analyses, and measurements of magnetic susceptibility and conductivity at room temperature. Also, findings on the surface morphology and surface area were provided via Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) techniques, respectively. High-pressure adsorption measurements were investigated by storing carbon dioxide, and the results proved that such materials own remarkable gas adsorption properties that make them a good option for gas separation and storage. Gases uptake at 323 K for the complexes leads to the highest CO2 uptake. The prepared material could pave the road for further exploitation of similar materials.
