Electrospun Nanoparticle Nanofiber Composites As New Porous Materials with Improved Selectivity and Stability

Electrospun Nanoparticle Nanofiber Composites: Porous, Selective, and Stable Background The field of absorption technology spans from the absorption of gas to the absorption of contaminants. However, current absorbing materials are not particularly selective or stable. For an absorbing material to be effective it must minimize the uptake of undesirable...

A Photo-Responsive Zirconium Metal-Organic Framework with Tun-able Optical Band Gap Energy and Ultrahigh Hydrostability

Smart metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous, crystalline materials made of metals bonded to organic molecules (ligands) that have changeable properties when introduced to external stimuli. Changing the minimum energy required to excite an electron into a conductive state (optical band gap energy) allows control of the conductivity. Most efforts...

New Sorbent Types for Moisture Swing Technology

Capturing carbon dioxide from open air to minimize harmful emissions becomes less effective with lower carbon dioxide concentration. To address this, scientists use moisture swing sorbents which are chemicals that bind to carbon dioxide in dry environments and release it when exposed to moisture. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) contain a metal and a...
