Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Tsinghua University have used a gallium, indium, tin and bismuth alloy to generate hydrogen, when placed in contact with an aluminum plate immersed in water. In addition, the high cost of hydrogen transport is a key barrier to hydrogen utilization. In 2015, Zhang et al.

Power plants that capture CO 2 today use an older technology whereby flue gases are bubbled through organic amines in water, where the carbon dioxide binds to amines. Because MOFs are solid, the process also saves the energy costs of heating the water in which amines are dissolved. Wan, David Prendergast, Jeffrey B.
