Porous materials are materials with pores (cavities, channels or interstices). The characteristics of a porous material vary depending on the size, arrangement and shape of the pores, as well as ...

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are organic-inorganic hybrid crystalline porous materials that consist of a regular array of positively charged metal ions surrounded by organic 'linker' molecules. The ...

followed by the removal of the template to obtain a replica of the original porous structure. This approach allows for the synthesis of mesoporous materials with various compositions, including metals ...

Like all MOFs, the material features a porous, crystalline array of metal ions and organic linkers, with an internal area equivalent to about six football fields per tablespoon—a huge area for ...

A novel porous material capable of separating deuterium ... While research has explored the use of metal-organic frameworks ...

Porous materials contribute hugely to society, and are used in many different applications, such as ion exchange, purification, catalysis, and moisture removal to name a few. Types of materials ...
