Metal-organic frameworks, or MOFs, are highly crystalline, porous materials with nanometre-sized pores and large internal surface areas. Their structures make them useful for applications such as carbon capture, adsorption of greenhouse gas methane, and dehumidification of air for room climate control. MOFs exhibit unique physicochemical properties, including high surface area, ultra-high porosity, low crystal density as well as remarkable thermal and chemical stabilities.
