Chemistry

Designing Metal-Organic Frameworks for Carbon Capture

Quick fact

Some MOFs can capture CO2 at concentrations as low as 400 ppm, the current atmospheric level, making them candidates for direct air capture.

Why this is interesting

Imagine a material so porous that a single gram has the surface area of a football field – and it’s designed to trap carbon dioxide from the air. What if we could engineer such a material to fight climate change?
