Most scientists might assume such materials are incapable of conducting charge, but surprisingly, some MOFs do it well. That little-known, unexpected property, which scientists are trying to ...

Their properties and functions are determined by the way they are grown. The vast diversity of shapes and sizes of MOFs, and especially their exceptional porosity and chemical tunability – which ...

Hydrogen storage, heat conduction, gas storage, CO 2 and water sequestration—metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have extraordinary properties due to their unique structure in the form of ...

The simulation of the heat conduction properties of MOFs is carried out with very high accuracy using the new method. Hydrogen storage, heat conduction, gas storage, CO2 and water sequestration ...

The findings show that specialized MOFs with highly tunable properties can be made to order by blending together different metals in precise ratios. According to Dr. Planas, this unlocks the ...

"We wanted to explore this idea for MOFs, but instead of giving a word suggestion, we wanted to have it suggest a property," says Professor Berend Smit, who led the EPFL side of the project.

This limitation leaves little room for manipulating the intrinsic thermal transport properties of MOFs to enhance their cooling performance. To address the issue, researchers worldwide have turned ...

"Synthesis with the same reactants may lead to MOFs with different topologies and properties, and the reaction time, method, and temperature of synthesis will also affect the crystal structure ...

A new study presented at the ACS Spring 2023 meeting shows how the powerful computational techniques behind artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT can help chemists train machines to better ...

Given the recent developments in this interdisciplinary field, including the emergence of MOFs whose applications and functional properties has led to their commercialisation, the unique format of the ...
