Metal-organic frameworks shaped as shells and plugs in porous bodies; applications in adsorption and catalysis. KU Leuven
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline nanoporous materials that consist of inorganic metal-containing nodes connected by polytopic organic linkers. MOFs are promising materials for novel applications in various industries because of their high specific surface area, synthetic flexibility and tunable structure-property relationships. For many application areas, such as catalysis, molecular separation and gas storage, MOFs can be ...
