How Do Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) Work in Air Separation?
MOFs are crystalline materials composed of metal ions coordinated to organic ligands, forming a porous structure. Their tunable pore sizes and high surface areas make them excellent candidates for gas adsorption and separation. By adjusting the metal ions and organic ligands, MOFs can be tailored to preferentially adsorb certain gases, making them highly effective for separating air into its constituent components.
