MOFs (Metal-Organic Frameworks)

Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are advanced materials made from metal ions or clusters connected by organic molecules, forming highly porous and crystalline structures. Think of them as tiny, sponge-like lattices with vast internal surface areas. This unique architecture allows MOFs to trap gases, liquids, or other molecules efficiently, making them useful for applications like gas storage, separation, catalysis, and sensing. Despite their intricate design, they are lightweight and customizable, offering precise control over their properties, which can be tailored for specific industrial and environmental uses.
