Separating hydrogen (H₂) from carbon dioxide (CO₂) might sound like a niche lab exercise, but in reality it sits right at the heart of the “hydrogen economy” and low-carbon technologies. Whenever hydrogen is produced from…

Why ZIF-8 Continues to Lead the MOF Revolution Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have become one of the most dynamic areas of materials science over the past two decades. Their modular structure, high porosity, and tunable chemical…
(read more)Water scarcity and water contamination have become two of the most pressing global issues of the 21st century. As populations grow, industries expand, and environmental regulations tighten, the demand for technologies capable of producing clean…
(read more)As the world faces increasing pressure to transition toward cleaner and more sustainable energy systems, biogas has emerged as one of the most promising renewable resources. It allows us to transform organic waste—materials that would…
(read more)Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) – and especially zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) – have become “star materials” in chemistry and materials science. They combine metal ions with organic linkers to create highly porous, crystalline structures that can…
