NEW NOVEL METHOD TO TRAP HAZARDOUS GASES

摘要

A team of researchers at The University of Texas at Dallas (UT Dallas) has developed a novel method for trapping potentially harmful gases within microscopic organometallic structures. These metal organic frameworks (MOFs), are made of different building blocks composed of metal ion centres and organic linker molecules. Together they form a honeycomb-like structure that can trap gases within each comb or pore.
