Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have reshaped modern materials science with their extraordinary porosity, structural tunability, and broad application potential. Among the most studied MOFs, the Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework (ZIF) family stands out, especially ZIF-8, ZIF-L, and…

Hydrogen has long been described as the “fuel of the future,” and today, this idea is closer to reality than ever before. As global industries move away from fossil fuels and toward cleaner, more sustainable…

Separating carbon dioxide (CO₂) from nitrogen (N₂) sounds like a small technical detail, but it sits right at the heart of climate and energy challenges. From power plant flue gas to industrial exhaust streams, CO₂…

Poly(methyl methacrylate), or PMMA, is one of those “quietly essential” polymers you see everywhere without noticing. It appears as transparent panels instead of glass, as bone cement in orthopedics, as a component in dental fillings,…

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…

1. A quick refresher: MOFs, ZIFs and ZIF-L 1.1. What are MOFs? Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline materials built from: Metal ions or clusters (like Zn²⁺, Co²⁺, etc.) Organic linkers (often multi-dentate ligands with nitrogen…

Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks (ZIFs) have become one of the most rapidly expanding subclasses of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). Among them, ZIF-L has emerged as a unique layered material with outstanding potential for gas separation, chemical sensing,…
