%X Adsorption using porous adsorbents is widely applied in carbon dioxide (CO2) capture due to its potential energy saving with low operating cost. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are preferable over conventional adsorbents as MOFs have tunable structure properties. Organic linkers from phytochemicalbased give a new idea in forming MOFs. Gallic acid is classified under phytochemicals can act as an alternative organic linker in a new family of hybrid framework materials due to low cost, low toxicity, easy availability and naturally abundant. Due to unique property of MOFs that can be tailored, screening using systematic tool is very important. Molecular modeling is proven to play a crucial role in providing an estimation on adsorption capacity, selectivity and adsorbent selection. Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) method via Sorption module in Material Studio was performed to compute loading curves of CO2 and methane (CH4) in MOFs. Based on the simulation results, it shows that gallate-based MOFs can be a new promising adsorbent in CO2 capture as the predicted CO2 loading is significantly higher than CH4. The highest predicted CO2 adsorption capacity is achieved by Mg-gallate and the lowest is by Ag-gallate with 7.79 mmol/g and 6.35 mmol/g respectively. The applicability of gallic acid to act as an alternative linker is relevant for practical applications. © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences.
