  • Adsorbents comprising organic-inorganic hybrid nanoporous materials for sorption of water or alcohol and use thereof
    Patent number: 11224856
    Abstract: Provided are a water and/or alcohol adsorbent including organic-inorganic hybrid nanoporous materials, and use thereof, and more particularly, a water and/or alcohol adsorbent having a high adsorption amount at a low relative humidity or partial pressure, of which desorption/regeneration is possible at a low temperature, the water and/or alcohol adsorbent including organic-inorganic hybrid nanoporous materials having 0.5 to 3 mol of a hydroxyl group (OH) or a hydroxide anion group (OH?) per 1 mol of a central metal ion, and use thereof.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 18, 2016
    Date of Patent: January 18, 2022
    Assignee: KOREA RESEARCH INSTITUTE OF CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGY
    Inventors: Jong San Chang, U Hwang Lee, Young Kyu Hwang, Christian Serre, Thomas Devic, Amandine Cadiau, Norbert Stock, Nele Reimer, Michael T. Wharmby
