Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of crystalline materials with ultrahigh porosity, and high surface areas. With these properties, along with variability for both the organic and inorganic components of their structures, MOFs are of interest for potential applications in clean energy, most significantly as storage media for gases such as hydrogen and methane, and […]
