The coordination connection of organic linkers to the metal clusters leads to the formation of
metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), where the metal clusters and ligands are spatially …

Owing to their molecular building blocks, yet highly crystalline nature, metal–organic
frameworks (MOFs) sit at the interface between molecule and material. Their diverse …

Millions of distinct metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can be made by combining metal
nodes and organic linkers. At present, over 90,000 MOFs have been synthesized and over …

Single-ion selectivity with high precision has long been pursued for fundamental bioinspired
engineering and applications such as in ion separation and energy conversion. However, it …

Computational screening methods have changed the way new materials and processes are
discovered and designed. For adsorption-based gas separations and carbon capture, recent …

The realization of automated chemical experiments by robots unveiled the prelude to an
artificial intelligence (AI) laboratory. Several AI-based systems or robots with specific …

Controllable fabrication of angstrom-size channels has been long desired to mimic
biological ion channels for the fundamental study of ion transport. Here we report a strategy …

The heat capacity of a material is a fundamental property of great practical importance. For
example, in a carbon capture process, the heat required to regenerate a solid sorbent is …

In the last two decades, metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have gained significant attention
as adsorbent and membrane materials for gas separations. Due to the large number and …

Nanoparticles have become a vital part of a vast number of established processes and
