With the rapidly increasing number of reported metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), conventional trial-and-error method is obviously not applicable to the development of high-performance MOFs for formaldehyde adsorption, due to its low efficiency, high cost and long developing period. Thus, high-throughput computational screening (HTCS) strategy based on grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulation is proposed to quickly explore the top-performing MOFs with high adsorption capability towards formaldehyde. In this work, the computation-ready experimental (CoRE)-MOF database consisting of 2932 MOF structures carrying density derived electrostatic and chemical (DDEC) charges obtained from density function (DFT) theory calculations, were employed in high-throughput GCMC simulations for formaldehyde adsorption from the air. The structure-property relationship from HTCS revealed that the MOF candidates with high formaldehyde uptakes exhibited small pore sizes, relatively high selectivity and moderate heat of adsorption (Q_st). Afterwards, the top MOFs with both high uptake and selectivity towards formaldehyde were chosen for further experimental evaluation. Three selected MOFs Y-BTC, ZnCar and Ni-BIC were successfully synthesized and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and BET surface area analysis. In order to validate our HTCS strategy, the representative Cu-BTC and activated carbon (AC) were also adopted as controls. The formaldehyde adsorption test was performed in a sealed container with the formaldehyde concentration of 100 mg/m³ at 298 K. After 24 h adsorption, the formaldehyde uptakes of the adsorbents were obtained according to the concentration changes prior to and after formaldehyde exposure by UV-vis spectrometer. It was found that the adsorption capacities of Y-BTC, ZnCar and Ni-BIC were 0.38, 0.25 and 0.11 mol/kg, respectively, which were remarkably higher than Cu-BTC (0.08 mol/kg) and AC (0.06 mol/kg). The recyclability of the best performer Y-BTC was also verified. These findings open up the possibility of employing HTCS strategy for highly efficient exploration of MOF adsorbents for formaldehyde removal.
