Ultrafast spectroscopy can be used to study dynamic processes on femtosecond to nanosecond timescales, but is typically used for photoinduced processes. Several materials can induce ultrafast temperature rises upon absorption of femtosecond laser pulses, in principle allowing to ...
By tuning the steric environment and free pore space in metal-organic frameworks, a large variety of rotor dynamics of the organic linkers can appear. Nitrofunctionalized MIL-53 is a terephthalate-linker-based MOF that shows coupled rotor dynamics between the neighboring linkers ...
Advancing the field of photocatalysis requires the elucidation of structural properties that underpin the photocatalytic properties of promising materials. The focus of the present study is layered, Bi-rich bismuth oxyhalides, which are widely studied for photocatalytic applicati ...
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are ideal platforms to spatially control the integration of multiple molecular motifs throughout a single nanoporous framework. Despite this design flexibility, COFs are typically synthesized using only two monomers. One bears the functional mot ...
Several metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) excel in harvesting water from the air or as heat pumps as they show a steep increase in water uptake at 10–30 % relative humidity (RH%). A precise understanding of which structural characteristics govern such behavior is lacking. Herein, C ...
In order to capture and separate CO2 from the air or flue gas streams through nanoporous adsorbents, the influence of the humidity in these streams has to be taken into account as it hampers the capture process in two main ways: (1) water preferentially binds to CO2 adsorption si ...

Carbon monoxide separation

Past, present and future

Large amounts of carbon monoxide are produced by industrial processes such as biomass gasification and steel manufacturing. The CO present in vent streams is often burnt, this produces a large amount of CO2, e.g., oxidation of CO from metallurgic flue gasses is solely ...
Titanium-based metal-organic framework, NH2-MIL-125(Ti), has been widely investigated for photocatalytic applications but has low activity in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). In this work, we show a one-step low-cost postmodification of NH2-MIL-125(Ti) via impregnation of C ...
Flow-induced disturbances were applied during the synthesis of a naphthalene diimide covalent organic framework (NDI-COF), which resulted in different COF polymer networks. We discovered that a high intensity of stirring resulted in more aggregated structures on both the micro- a ...
Selective separation of rare earth elements (REEs) from solutions of mixed heavy and light metals by solid adsorbents is an important challenge in the fields of water treatment and metal recovery. The main challenge is water instability of many adsorbents, specifically metal–orga ...
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of nanoporous crystalline materials with very high structural tunability. They possess a very low dielectric permittivity ϵr due to their porosity and hence are favorable for piezoelectric energy harvesting. Even though they have huge p ...
The ease with which molecular building blocks can be ordered in metal–organic frameworks is an invaluable asset for many potential applications. In this work, we exploit this inherent order to produce chromatic polarizers based on visible-light linear dichroism via cobalt paddlew ...
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are an emerging material family having several potential applications. Their porous framework and redox-active centers enable gas/ion adsorption, allowing them to function as safe, cheap, and tunable electrode materials in next-generation batter ...
In situexperimental studies have been key in uncovering the often elusive pathways of nucleation and crystal growth. In the field of material science and medicine this offers the prospect of controlling crystallization processes to fight disease or tailor materials towards specif ...
The organic components in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are unique: they are embedded in a crystalline lattice, yet, as they are separated from each other by tunable free space, a large variety of dynamic behavior can emerge. These rotational dynamics of the organic linkers are ...
Development of state-of-the-art selective adsorbent materials for recovery of rare earth elements (REEs) is essential for their sustainable usage. In this study, a metal-organic framework (MOF), MIL-101(Cr), was synthesized and post-synthetically modified with optimised loading o ...
A modulated synthesis approach based on the chelating properties of oxalic acid (H2C2O4) is presented as a robust and versatile method to achieve highly crystalline Al-based metal-organic frameworks. A comparative study on this method and the alre ...
We report the synthesis and dielectric characterization of novel polyvinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene P(VDF-TrFE) composite films containing [(CH3)2NH2][Mg(HCOO)3] (DMAMg) and [NH4][Zn(HCOO)3] (AmZn) dense met ...
