A scalable metal-organic framework as a durable physisorbent for carbon dioxide capture
Science Magazine | A scalable metal-organic framework as a durable physisorbent for carbon dioxide capture A hydrophobic CO2 physisorbent Most materials for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture of fossil fuel combustion, such as amines, rely on strong chemisorption interactions that are highly selective but can incur a large energy penalty to release CO2. Lin et al. show […]
