Inducing hierarchical pores in nano-MOFs for efficient gas separation

Abstract

Structured hierarchically porous pellets of Cu-MOF nanocrystals show interesting properties for CO2 capture.

An ethynyl-modified interpenetrated metal–organic framework for highly efficient selective gas adsorption

“…4a and b). The theoretical simulation results show that compound 1 has a higher separation ability for the mixture of carbon dioxide and methane than Cu-MOF 55 and some other materials. 56,57 As shown in Fig.…”

Copper(ii)-MOFs for bio-applications

“…Some of the most important advantages include adjustable porosity, that is, they have a unique porous structure that allows storage and selective separation of molecules. 27 This property can be tuned by selecting specific ligands, allowing them to be tailored for specific applications such as biosensing or drug delivery. 26 Furthermore, this advantage is related to their high specific surface area, which makes them ideal for use in biocatalysis, gas separation and energy storage, but especially for bioapplications.…”
