Metal-organic Frameworks

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of highly porous nanomaterials with the potential to revolutionize a variety of areas. MOFs consist of metal ions or clusters coordinated to organic ligands to form large, porous structures. MOFs have higher porosity than most other materials, allowing them to be used in a variety of applications, including gas storage and separation, catalysis, drug delivery, and sensing. The unique properties of MOFs also make them ideal materials for advanced technologies such as hydrogen storage and fuel cells. MOFs are a promising material for the development of novel technologies that could help to address some of the world's most pressing environmental challenges.
