KAUST and University of South Florida scientists develop an ideal material to address the carbon capture challenge
Scientists from KAUST and the University of South Florida (USF) have discovered and developed a unique, efficient, inexpensive, and reusable metal-organic framework (MOF) material for carbon capture and separation that could lead to new clean-air and energy saving technologies. Their joint breakthrough, funded by a KAUST-sponsored faculty-initiated collaboration grant, offers new tools for confronting the world’s challenges in controlling carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
In a paper published in the prestigious journal Nature, Mohamed Eddaoudi, Professor of Chemical Science and Associate Director of the Advanced Membranes and Porous Materials Research Center at KAUST, and his colleagues – an international group of multidisciplinary scientists and students, reveal and describe the unique properties of a previously underused material that offers a new mechanism for capturing CO2.
