Molecular Insight into the Electric Field Regulation of N2 and CH4 Adsorption in the Trapdoor ZSM-25 Zeolites

selectivity in the quest for nitrogen rejection for natural gas processing. By combining experimental and computational approaches, we elucidated the influence of E-field activation as a concurrent effect of the reduced heat of adsorption caused by framework expansion and the decrease in the energy barrier resulting from promoted cation oscillation. These findings pave the way for the material design of E-field-regulated adsorption and its application in molecular separation.
