Aluminum is a critical element used in thousands of important products, but it can often interfere with quick and effective extraction of valuable rare earth elements (REEs) from coal waste byproducts. The new NETL-developed sensing material is a metal-organic framework (MOF) thin film made of copper linked by 2-aminoterephthalic acid.
