MOFs can be put together arbitrarily like Lego bricks and outperform every previously known class of material in terms of flexibility. The physicochemical properties of materials are governed by the ...

The field of MOFs has developed rapidly over the past decade. With emerging properties and functions, MOFs have already shown great promise in many applications that had not been envisaged with ...

Scientists improved enzyme-based biosensors by modifying MOFs to enhance electron transfer and enzyme stability. Enzymes are ...

This exacerbates the sluggish mass-transport properties of the catalyst layer and limits the application of MOFs in many renewable energy systems, particularly for proton-exchange membrane fuel ...

Due to extremely similar physical and chemical properties of the two molecules ... Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are ideal candidates for these membranes. However, the "gate-opening" effect ...

By changing the metal nodes/clusters and linkers and their combinations, it is possible to tailor the structures and properties of MOFs for a range of applications, such as mitigating environmental ...

Reticular chemistry pioneer Omar Yaghi has co-founded a new institute focused on using AI to tackle climate challenges. He ...
