MOF thin films reveal hidden dense packing, challenging decades of porous assumptions
Due to their high porosity, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are regarded as promising materials for innovative applications, which is why the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded in 2025 for their discovery. They are used, for example, to store gases, to capture CO2 and for the targeted delivery of medicines.
In 2025 the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded for the discovery of the extremely porous MOFs. Now a team from Austria found that a thin MOF layer has no pores
Graz University of Technology Deciphers the Structural Secrets of MOF Thin
In the realm of advanced materials science, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have garnered intense attention for their exceptional porosity and versatility. These hybrid materials, constructed from metal ions coordinated to organic ligands, have been cornerstone candidates in diverse applications such as gas storage, carbon dioxide capture, and targeted drug delivery. The impact of MOFs was so […]
MOF thin films play a central role as porous materials for many potential applications. Researchers at TU Graz were now able to show that the prototypical representative of this material form has a completely different structure than previously assumed. More ...
