Hierarchically Porous Structured Adsorbents with Ultrahigh Metal-Organic Framework Loading for CO Capture.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising candidates for CO adsorption due to their ultrahigh-specific surface area and highly tunable pore-surface properties. However, their large-scale application is hindered by processing issues associated with their microcrystalline powder nature, such as dustiness, pressure drop, and poor mass transfer within packed beds. To address these challenges, shaping/structuring micron-sized polycrystalline MOF powders into millimeter-sized structured forms while preserving porosity and functionality represents an effective yet challenging approach.

Exploring the Potential of Hierarchical Zeolite-Templated Carbon Materials for High-Performance Li-O Batteries: Insights from Molecular Simulations.

The commercialization of ultrahigh capacity lithium-oxygen (Li-O) batteries is highly dependent on the cathode architecture, and a better understanding of its role in species transport and solid discharge product (i.e., LiO) formation is critical to improving the discharge capacity.

Activated carbons from biomass-based sources for CO capture applications.

In an ever-growing attempt to reduce the excessive anthropogenic CO emissions, several CO capture technologies have been developed in recent years. Adsorption using solid carbonaceous materials is one of the many promising examples of these technologies. Carbon-based materials, notably activated carbons, are considered very attractive adsorbents for this purpose given their exceptional thermal stability and excellent adsorption capacities.
