Browsing: Metal-Organic Frameworks
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are highly porous materials composed of metal ions coordinated to organic molecules to form one-, two-, or three-dimensional structures. They are notable for their extremely high surface area and variable pore sizes, which make them highly effective for a variety of applications including gas storage, separation, and catalysis. MOFs are customizable, allowing scientists to tailor their chemical functionalities and physical properties to specific needs, such as capturing carbon dioxide from the environment or storing hydrogen for fuel cells. Their ability to be engineered with specific pore sizes and shapes also makes them promising for use in drug delivery, sensing technologies, and water purification systems. The versatility and efficiency of MOFs in these applications make them a significant focus of research in material science.
