Synopsis
Metal Organic Frameworks: Fundamentals to Advanced offers a substantial and complete treatment of published results. The book includes a summary of current research, along with an in- depth explanation of Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) and applications in this versatile area. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are structured frameworks made up of metal ions and organic molecules. These materials are similar to sponges and can absorb, retain and remove molecules from their pores. As a result, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are the most rapidly evolving substances in chemistry with the highest surface areas due to their well-ordered pore structure.The exciting and vast surface area allows for more chemical reactions and molecule adsorption, hence this new resource provides the newest updates on the topics covered.
- Covers the synthetic advantages and versatile applications of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) due to their organic-inorganic hybrid nature and unique porous structure
- Includes energy applications such as batteries, fuel storage, fuel cells, hydrogen evaluation reactions and super capacitors
- Features information on using MOFs as a replacement to conventional engineering materials as they are lightweight, less costly, environmentally-friendly and sustainable
