First snapshots of CO2 molecules trapped in MOFs shed new light on carbon capture

Green Car Congress

Scientists from the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University have taken the first images of carbon dioxide molecules within a molecular cage—part of a metal-organic framework (MOF), with great potential for separating and storing gases and liquids. The MOF they studied is called ZIF-8.
