Abstract: The separation of xenon (Xe) and krypton (Kr) is very important for atmospheric radioactive gases radionuclide monitoring, industrial production of noble gases and spent nuclear fuel reprocessing. The conventional, cryogenic methods are used to extract xenon and krypton from air, but this is highly energy and capital intensive. Therefore, developing less energy intensive and capital economical alternatives, such as physisorption separation at room temperature using porous materials, is a critical and urgent issue. The emerging novel solid porous materials such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), porous organic cage molecules exhibit excellent performance on noble gases (xenon and krypton) separation and favorable application foreground. This article systematically summarizes the research progress of novel porous materials applied in noble gas Xe/Kr separation. The research work from three fa-cets, including application of theoretical calculation in Xe/Kr separation, separation of high concentration Xe and Kr, and separation of extremely low concentration Xe and Kr are reviewed and discussed. Finally, a critical comment on prospects of the future research of Xe/Kr separation using novel porous materials is addressed in order to guide the newcomer in this field.
