Well, according to De Luna—whose research focused on the 3D chemistry of why the MOF could inhale so much CO2—the new material's pores each act like fantastically dense little CO2 parking garages.

In recent years, a class of highly absorbent, nanoporous materials called metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as a promising material for carbon capture in power plants. But finding the ...

Oregon State University scientists have found a way to more than double the uptake ability of a chemical structure that can be used for scrubbing carbon dioxide from factory flues. The study ...

Oregon State researchers discovered that exposing a copper-based MOF to ammonia gas doubles its CO2 adsorption ability. This method enhances carbon capture efficiency without increasing regeneration ...

Carbon capture technology has been touted as a crucial solution for removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. However, the large size, high cost, and lengthy construction time of these plants ...

The porous MOF is detailed in a paper published in Science.. Capturing carbon from power or industrial plant emissions employs liquid amines to absorb CO2, a reaction that works efficiently between 40 ...

The global Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) for CO2 Capture market is expanding swiftly, addressing climate change. MOFs excel in CO2 adsorption from key sectors such as power, cement, steel, and oil.

Researchers from Tokyo Tech have developed a tin-based metal–organic framework (MOF) that can photocatalytically reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) into formate under visible light. The tin-based MOF ...

Oct 11, 2022: Grabbing CO2 out of the air with the help of MOFs (Nanowerk News) Direct air capture may be key to saving Earth from the effects of climate change, but there’s a catch: It’s really hard ...

In a July 2023 paper published in Nature Water, Yaghi and a group of collaborators demonstrated a material dubbed MOF-303 that was able to produce a steady drip of water in Death Valley, Calif ...

After the MOF captures the CO2, the hydrogen is burned and the only byproduct is water. This extra chemical processing step would need to be built into new power plants as a pre-combustion process.
