Materials with porous features that have been particularly ordered on the nano-scale have key applications in drug delivery systems, diagnostics, optics, cosmetics, catalysis, coatings, bio-separation ...

Researchers have used computational design methods to develop non-metal organic porous framework materials, with potential applications in areas such as catalysis, water capture or hydrogen storage.

Multivariate porous materials (MTV) are like a "collection of Lego blocks," allowing for customized design at a molecular level to freely create desired structures. Using these materials enables a ...

Milestones of porous materials with monomodal pore structures (Porous materials 1.0): (a) new zeolite topology, (b) organic zeolites, (c) mesoporous materials, and (d) extra-large pore zeolites.

For 25 years, chemists have been finding applications that take advantage of the extreme surface areas of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). In just 1 g of some of these porous materials, the areas can ...

Several factors, such as surface area, pore size distribution, temperature, pressure, and the nature of both the gas and porous material, influence the rate and extent of gas sorption. The size and ...
