Metal-organic Frameworks with Metallic Conductivity

Researchers produce MOF thin film with genuine metallic conductivity for the first time – prospects for the electronics of the future

19-Jun-2025 - Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are characterized by high porosity and a customizable structure. They have enormous potential, for example for applications in electronics. Until now, however, their low electrical conductivity has severely limited their use. With the help of AI- and robot-assisted ...

‘E-nose’ sniffs out mixtures of volatile organic compounds

Accurately distinguish xylene isomer mixtures

13-Jun-2022 - As paint thinner, ink and adhesives dry, they can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can negatively impact health. Typically, one of those VOCs is xylene, which exists as three isomers with the same elements but slightly different arrangements. Because the isomers are so similar, ...

Researchers Identify Cause of Surface Barriers of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs)

05-Aug-2014 - Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can take up gases similar to a sponge that soaks up liquids. Hence, these highly porous materials are suited for storing hydrogen or greenhouse gases. However, loading of many MOFs is inhibited by barriers. Scien-tists of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) now ...
