Resumen:
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are an extraordinary class of crystalline materials, which feature an extremely high surface area, suitable for specific interactions with different target molecules. MOFs uniqueness lies in the precision with which covalent chemistry is used to stitch molecular building blocks within their extended networks. Furthermore, their architecturally well-defined pores allow installing functionalities nearly at will, in order to customize the identity of the material?s internal surface for enhanced interactions with different guest molecules. In this work, we show how MOFs can be designed and applied to green energy production and impact in achieving environmental sustainability.
