In recent years, porous two-dimensional (2D) materials such as graphene, carbon nitride, and boron nitride have garnered a lot of interest due to their unique ...

Multivariate porous materials (MTV) are like a "collection of Lego blocks," allowing for customized design at a molecular level to freely create desired structures. Using these materials enables a ...

Van der Waals forces, once deemed too weak for structural integrity, have been shown to create stable, highly porous frameworks with exceptional thermal resilience and reversible assembly, paving the ...

In newly published study, CU Boulder chemist Wei Zhang details a new porous material that is less expensive and more sustainable For a broad range of industries, separating gases is an important part ...

For 25 years, chemists have been finding applications that take advantage of the extreme surface areas of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). In just 1 g of some of these porous materials, the areas can ...

Several factors, such as surface area, pore size distribution, temperature, pressure, and the nature of both the gas and porous material, influence the rate and extent of gas sorption. The size and ...

AI is helping scientists crack the code on next-gen batteries that could replace lithium-ion tech. By discovering novel porous materials, researchers may have paved the way for more powerful and ...
