Unlocking the potential of an aqueous and sustainable synthesis method to produce and combine MOFs from combinations of ferrous/ferric iron and five benzene carboxylates and deliver superior desiccants with tailor made water vapor isotherm shapes.

Air-conditioning (AC) accounts for 7% of global greenhouse gas emissions. One way to improve the energy efficiency of AC equipment is to dry the air prior to its cooling. For this, sponge-like materials are used that can soak up the small water droplets that are in the wet air. A new class of nanomaterials called […]
