Carbon Capture & GHG Reduction

Water-Enhanced Direct Air Capture of Carbon Dioxide in Metal–Organic Frameworks

Amine-functionalized MOFs were studied for capturing CO₂ directly from air (~400 ppm). Adding humidity markedly increased CO₂ uptake for some materials.

Verified DOI

Carbon Capture & GHG Reduction

The Chemistry of CO₂ Capture in an Amine-Functionalized Metal–Organic Framework under Dry and Humid Conditions

Examined how amino-acid-modified MOF-808 captures CO₂ from humid gas streams, revealing different chemistry under dry vs humid conditions.

Water Harvesting Materials

Water Harvesting from Air with Metal-Organic Frameworks Powered by Natural Sunlight

A device using MOF-801 captured water vapor from air and released it using low-grade heat from natural sunlight, without additional energy input.

Verified DOI
#04 · 2021SDG 6
Water Harvesting Materials

Evolution of Water Structures in Metal-Organic Frameworks for Improved Atmospheric Water Harvesting

Revealed step-by-step how water molecules fill MOF-303 pores — binding first to polar sites, then forming clusters, chains and finally a network.
